i became the villain

Chapter 296 See if you have a hard head, or my knife is hard
Things really went as Dong Tiancheng expected.

After he dealt with the Xu family in a thunderous manner, the implementation of the New Deal was significantly faster.

This is one aspect.

on the other hand.

The success of the implementation of the New Deal is also very gratifying.

Although some people are not willing to lose their interests like this, but in the face of the Xu family's bloody case, even if these people are not happy in their hearts, they have nothing to do.

This just corresponds to Dong Tiancheng's words.

They have a hard head.

Dong Tiancheng's knife was even harder.

Comparing the two, the head was not as hard as a knife after all.

no way.

Who made Dong Tiancheng stand in the perspective of righteousness, and at the same time have power, power, soldiers, and wealth, which is not something that local tyrants in those places can compete with.

result of the balance.

That is, the whole family of the Xu family was killed, leaving no bones or dogs behind.

Life.

There is only one.

If you die, you will die, and you will not be able to survive.

Life is gone, why do you need money?
Rather than taking advantage of some people in vain, it is better to take advantage of yourself and lose some money, which is much better than losing the lives of the whole family.

In view of such thoughts of Ah Q, more and more people began to accept the New Deal.

A month later.

Zhao Qi, who was far away in Lin'an City, received the happy news from Dong Tiancheng.

Look at the numbers above.

Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment, and stared blankly for more than ten minutes before ordering someone to call the servant of the household department to her, and compared it with the previous information of the household department.

In contrast to both sides.

The gap is even more obvious.

The most conspicuous thing is the land.

The old data from the Ministry of Household Affairs clearly shows that the area has a total of 80 mu of arable land, and the cumulative annual production of grain is 120 million dan, which amounts to 450 dan of landed grain per mu, which is 8 jin of grain. Tax silver [-] taels of silver.

However, the latest land figures reported by Dong Tiancheng prove that the region has a total of 380 million mu of arable land, including 190 million mu of first-class paddy fields and 180 million mu of second-class dry fields.First-class paddy fields produce 400 million dan of grain accumulatively every year, totaling 18 dan of grain per mu of real estate, which is 270 catties of grain, and accumulatively pay 10 taels of tax.The second-class dry land produces a total of [-] dans of grain every year, a total of [-] dans of grain per mu, which is [-] catties of grain, and a total of [-] taels of tax has been paid.

Not to mention.

Just talking about this field tax, the difference between the two parties is a full 20 taels of silver.

20 taels of silver is not a small sum.

For one place, the difference is 20 taels of silver, for ten places, it is 200 million taels of silver, for one hundred places?A thousand places?
I feel scared when I think about it.

After the property.

is the population.

According to the old data from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the area has a total population of 28 people, including 750 elderly people, 110 children, and 110 young adults. people.The population figures reported by Dong Tiancheng are 530 people in this area, 36 elderly people, 920 children, and 110 young adults. six people.

Between the two, there is a difference of more than 8 people.

Feudal society.

Population means strength.

Inexplicably, there are more than 8 young and strong Zhao Qi, and I am very happy.

here.

It is one thing to increase the population, but it is another thing to increase the tax money.

Tax silver refers not only to property taxes.

Besides, land property tax only occupies a very small part of the tax money reported by Dong Tiancheng to Zhao Qi, the bulk of which is commercial tax.

Dong Tiancheng, who is vigorously developing commerce in the local area, secretly wrote in his note to Zhao Qi: Originally, in his place, the annual tax tax was only 13 taels, the land property tax was 8 taels, and other taxes were 5 taels. However, Dong Tiancheng is confident that by the end of the year, he will pay 100 million taels of commercial tax for Zhao Qi.

100 taels of silver.

It can support a battleable cavalry of 1 people.

This made Zhao Qi, who was determined to regain her northern homeland, extremely happy.

The next day.

In the court hall, Zhao Qi threw out the brochure Dong Tiancheng sent, "Everyone, this is a brochure about the New Deal sent by Dong Tiancheng and a group of subordinate officials collectively, you all have a look, take a good look, Do you have any opinions now? Even if you have, you have to wait a year and a half for the effect to come out, and then study it."

"The emperor is wise." A group of courtiers flattered Zhao Qi.

In addition, some courtiers, seeing Zhao Qi happy, flattered Dong Tiancheng, "Your Majesty, Mr. Dong's actions are all beneficial to the country and the people, so I think, Master Dong deserves a reward."

"My minister agrees."

"The minister agrees."

……

city ​​gate.

The imposing guard of honor walked in front surrounded by a large sedan chair carrying eight people, followed by a group of imperial guards for protection, and the music troupe at the front beat and beat, and the crowd on both sides stared at this rare scene.

The main thing is that in the eight-carrying sedan chair, the person sitting is not a person, but a roll of yellow cloth.

This is no ordinary yellow cloth roll.

It should have the emperor's jade seal on it, so people call it the imperial edict.

Zhao Qi came to announce the decree to Dong Tiancheng with such great fanfare, maybe she did not mean to support Dong Tiancheng.

Besides, the local officials around heard that there was an imperial decree, no matter what the purpose was, they all came to greet him, some even called Min Le to flatter Dong Tiancheng.

The so-called folk music, that is, folk tricks such as lion dance and stilt walking, made the whole street very lively.

In such a lively atmosphere.

A little eunuch came up, and the place was suddenly quiet.

The eunuch looked at Dong Tiancheng with a smile, and then declared: "The imperial edict has arrived, all officials, kneel down to welcome the imperial edict."

Dong Tiancheng and a group of local officials, dressed in neat official uniforms, knelt down and said, "Your servants kneel to welcome the imperial edict."

"By God's blessing, the Emperor Zhao said, the governor Dong Tiancheng handled his affairs decently, and I am very happy. I thought that he had made great contributions to the implementation of the New Deal, so I rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold and 1 taels of silver to show the kindness of the official family. Chief Minister Qian Youwei, I am very happy to cooperate with Dong Tiancheng in carrying out the New Deal, and think that he has made great contributions to the implementation of the New Deal, so I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold to show the kindness of the officials. The implementation of the New Deal has made meritorious service, so a thousand taels of gold will be rewarded... I hope that one of the officials will be able to serve the country with all his heart and do his best, and live up to the holy hope, and this is my admiration."

"My minister Dong Tiancheng thanked the Lord for his kindness."

"My minister Qian Youwei thanked the Lord for his kindness."

"minister……."

The eunuch smiled and handed the imperial decree to Dong Tiancheng
Naturally, Dong Tiancheng would not treat him badly. While receiving the imperial edict, he stuffed a bank note to the young eunuch. During this process, his movements were covered by the imperial edict.

This money was already in hand, and no matter who came to proclaim the decree, it would be given.

The eunuch naturally accepted it with a smile, maybe because he got the reward by accident, this little eunuch actually told Dong Tiancheng a strange thing.

This thing is weird.

Not by the side.

It was Zhao Qi who inexplicably favored a little maid named Mei Qiuer, and on the second day, canonized this little maid as a talented person.
