Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Compared with the land of Yunnan and Guizhou gradually beginning to be included in the territory of Datang, Qinghai Prefecture has not been included in the territory of Datang for much time, but the two places of Qinghai Prefecture and Qingzang Prefecture have become one of the most loyal territories of Datang. Qingzang Prefecture is different. Qinghai Prefecture is a state managed by Li Ke himself, and the people here are even more proud.

Because none of the other places have been managed by His Highness himself!

So when Datang's decree was delivered here, the iron hammer after the meeting was stunned for a moment, no tax?Pay back the tax?This is called tax?Shouldn't this be called buying? !

While stupefied, Iron Hammer felt an indescribable pride, look, this is their Highness, His Highness of their faith!Even though His Highness hasn't been here for several years, he still remembers them.

As for the fact that this policy is aimed at the entire Tang Dynasty, it has long been selectively forgotten by the hammer. In other words, His Highness spread it to the world because he was afraid that people in other states would be unbalanced.

Although the entire Qinghai Prefecture originally had a five-year tax-free period, and now there are still two years left, he still has to go back and explain this policy to his villagers.

Back in his own village, Tie Hammer summoned all the herdsmen in the village, and after everyone came over, Tie Hammer said loudly, "Today I brought news from His Highness."

As soon as Tie Hammer's words came out of his mouth, everyone in the entire village was in commotion.

"What news? Hammer, hurry up and tell me."

"That's right, the village chief hurriedly said, what did your highness say? Is your highness coming to Qinghai?"

"What did Your Highness say? Don't be a fool."

Hearing the commotion of the people below, Tie Hammer waved his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and after everyone quieted down, Tie Hammer said loudly: "His Highness's news is not for us, but His Highness has never forgotten us people. , I just went to a meeting and received a notice from my superior."

"According to the latest decree signed by His Highness, from today onwards, the payment of agricultural tax in the entire Tang Dynasty will be handed over to the Tang Grain Storage Company, and when we pay the agricultural tax according to the proportion, we will receive the agricultural tax subsidy from the imperial court."

"What do you mean? To put it bluntly, if we used to pay 10 catties of grain per mu of land, we would be done after paying, but now after paying 10 catties of grain, Tang Grain Storage Company will subsidize us at a fixed price 10 money for food."

"Although we still have a two-year tax holiday, we will start paying taxes after two years, and so will all the paid cattle and sheep! Tang Chuliang will subsidize us according to the market price for the cattle and sheep we hand over!"

Hammer watched everyone and loudly announced the whole news.

As soon as the hammer said, everyone who understood was dumbfounded, "No, hammer, are you fucking stupid?" A herdsman in his 50s jumped up from the spot and breathed out the fragrance.

"What are you scolding me for?!" Iron Hammer was dumbfounded by the scolding.

"Why scold you? Is it easy for us to have today's life? It's not easy! Without Your Highness, we all know what kind of life we ​​live, and now we live a good life. Not only can we have enough food, we can even eat We can eat good food. The cattle and sheep have become our own.”

"Such a good day was given to us by His Highness. His Highness arranged various jobs for us and gave us various subsidies. From the time His Highness just started to manage Qinghai to the present, His Highness has given us things, and now we are waiting to pay taxes. Well, good guy, now you tell me that not only do I not need to pay taxes, but also that His Highness will give you money after paying the taxes?”

"My old Tuva doesn't understand the truth, but I know that it takes money to maintain the current situation in Tang Dynasty! Where does the money come from? Isn't it from the taxes of the people in the world? As a result, we don't pay taxes now, so Where did you get the money? Where did the soldiers get their weapons, horses, etc.?"

"It's not like we can't live anymore, just according to the number of cattle and sheep paid as stipulated by His Highness, will our households not be affected at all, and we are still living well?!"

"As a result, we have been receiving His Highness's favor, and now instead of being able to help His Highness, we have to continue to take money from His Highness? Hammer, are you fucking shameless?! Did I scold you wrong? During the meeting, you You should reject it with the people above." Old Tuva said loudly.

"Yes! Old Tuva is right. Although you are the village chief now, Tie Hammer, and we are the people of Tang Dynasty, we are also men on the grassland. The men on the grassland know how to repay their kindness. How can you make us do this in the future? Repay His Highness? I used to be able to go out to fight for His Highness, but now? Your Highness doesn’t need us old guys anymore, and we don’t even need to fight wars. How can we repay Your Highness in the future?”

"Yes, the men in our grasslands must know how to repay kindness! We can't help His Highness in other ways, and now we are not even allowed to pay taxes?"

Hearing the words of the people below, the hammer man was dumbfounded. He jumped up from his seat and said loudly: "No, what are you scolding me for? Is it up to me?! This is His Highness's order You will not disobey His Highness’s order, right?! I am the village chief, not to mention me as the village chief, even the current governor of Qinghai, Qiao Shiwang, does not have the right to refuse!”

"I don't care. Anyway, Hammer, you have that. Do you have any memorial? Although I don't know if you can write it, but you have to help us write this memorial. We can't control other people, but our village has to continue to pay taxes! "Old Tuva said.

"Yes. Just write it down."

Looking at the people shouting, Iron Hammer was a little depressed. I just said that if I didn't become the village head, I would be able to curse people now.

But now everyone has opinions, and Hammer can only do this, "Then I will go to the village and the county to talk about it, but I don't know if it will work."

"You'd better find a few village chiefs to join forces. Hmph, there are some selfish brats on the grassland." Old Tuva said.

Hammer is a little speechless, you know that too?Are you not kidnapping someone?This is His Highness's policy, what's wrong with implementing the policy?

"Don't look at me, such a selfish person probably won't be able to count on them in the future, anyway, if we are willing, you should hurry up and talk about it."

Iron Hammer could only helplessly agree, "Let me say yes first, it might not work if I say it."

"You're right. There are many short-sighted people on the grasslands. They don't understand farts. Although we pay taxes and spend some money, what is the money for? It is to make Datang better and stronger. .Datang is better and stronger, and our good days will last longer."

"We are just beasts that eat wild mice and gazelle. How can we dream of eating swans and cranes?"

"When we receive favors, we must know how to repay them, even if we live in poverty. If we don't know how to repay favors, then there will inevitably be incompetent people in the younger generations. At that time, wild animals will be able to cross in front of them, and mice will dare to kill them. Walk behind!"
