"Every autumn, every family will take out about one stone of millet and wheat to prepare for the famine. Because they are located in Lishe and managed by local people, they are also called Shecang! I think this practice is excellent. As the saying goes, one family is a stone of grain, ten families are ten stones of grain, and a million counties are ten stones of grain a year! In this way, even if you encounter a disaster year, the people can still be self-sufficient! "
Ran Min came up with this idea that "Yicang" would not appear until the Sui Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, Sun Ping, the eldest son of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, was supported by the government. When he saw that there were many floods and droughts in counties and counties, the people did not give him a play. Every autumn, the people were given a stone of millet and wheat, and the poor and the poor were prepared for the disaster. The year was called Yicang.
Emperor Wendi of Sui commended and adopted his suggestion, and then both Emperor Taizong and Tang Gaozong set up this kind of granary in the people. Since the end of Wu Ze, they have been using grain to solve the financial difficulties of the country.
After Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Yicang was designated as the official tax revenue of the country, and Yicang was also obsolete in history.
Cui Hao heard Ran Min’s idea and immediately came out and said, "Be holy!"
"Before the flood and drought, the sanctuary is not in chaos, and after the death, the mouth is withered. Every year, the rent is not real, and the granary is given at any time. If there is a fierce disaster, it will be a relief shirt. This law should be carried out in all parts of the country. I ask my officials to cultivate crops in autumn from Wang Gongji’s land, and let them see it in Miao Li’s persuasion class. I also agree with this tax. If the grain is not hungry in the year, the counties and counties will take it at will! "
Ran Min slightly, a moment and said, "Cui Hao said I YoYo this warehouse is the most taboo country shortage and loan agency warehouse filling officer! Therefore, I will make a letter here-since it is not necessary for the people to reserve their hands for the year of disaster, it is commendable to negotiate and establish a system! Anyone who takes a grain of righteousness will be beheaded! "
"Yicang should be prepared in Chuzhou County in the year of disaster. The princes have cultivated two liters of land, and their millet, wheat and japonica rice belong to all kinds of land. Since I, including me, must be cultivated to prepare Yicang, the third-class tax in the fixed product method is only seven fights in one stone, but four fights can be increased according to the situation!"
"Sage!" All the ministers shouted
At this time, in the suggestion, Cheng Weiyi went out again and said, "I have something to start!"
Please speak. "
"I want to impeach Pingyang County Chief Han Sanhe County Chief Leon Wang, surabaya county County Magistrate Cai Rong, Ping County Magistrate Wang Xuan … 25 people are all guilty, and their local officials make excuses to levy taxes and enrich themselves."
Ran Min couldn’t help feeling a little dizzy when he heard that there were twenty-five places guarding orders. "I will send a Royal Guards to investigate and collect evidence in depth. When the Royal Guards of Yushitai join forces, the Royal Guards of Yushitai will assist in making unannounced visits. I won’t wronged a kook, but I can’t let a sinner go!"
"Sage!"
Wei Qian retired, and then Wang Meng went out and said, "In fact, it is often the case that local officials levy more money. These people are not necessarily corrupt officials."
"Huh?"
"Positions can know fire consumption to business? When local officials collect money and tax, they will lose money, which is more called fire consumption or envy, but the scope of consumption and envy is greater than that of fire consumption, including consumption of birds and mice. "
Wang Meng lowered his hand and said, "That is to say, the loss of food stolen by finches and rats in transporting Jingmi Valley is said to be that finches and rats consume two buckets for every grain they pay in the Han Dynasty, and the consumption of finches and rats increases from two buckets to four buckets for every grain they pay!"
Ran Min couldn’t help frowning when he heard this. "Is the consumption of birds and rats so serious?"
In fact, Ran Min knows about the matter of fire consumption returning to the public, and it has existed since ancient times
It’s inevitable that finches and rats consume well, but this fire consumes silver, which obviously increases the burden on the people
Because most of the people pay taxes on silver, there is some loss in the process of breaking silver and melting silver ingots, which is called fire consumption
This part of the fire consumption silver is borne by the people, which is convenient for the collection of fire consumption silver. The court coordinates the collection of fire consumption in all provinces and formulates the fire consumption rate. It is a new legal tax that the taxpayer must exchange fire and consume tax.
Taxes are generally in kind, such as copper coins, broken silver, grain cloth, etc. It is difficult and complicated for the imperial court to collect them, which is not conducive to financial health insurance, but there is no way that Ran Min can’t move out Zhang Juzheng’s "one whip" method now?
Ran Min thought for a moment and said, "The imperial court is not short of this food and money. So the fire consumption tax will be abolished immediately, and local officials can’t make excuses to levy taxes without permission!"
"Sage!"
Two days later, Ran Min received a report that there was a severe drought and starvation, and tens of thousands of people were killed by pillows everywhere. Didn’t Ran Min just hand out relief food not long before pulling out the cold?
Why do so many people still die?
Ran Min immediately made a fire at the court, continued to let the treasury warehouse release grain, and went to the people to buy whatever it could to get the grain across the disaster area as quickly as possible.
But it didn’t take long for the drought to continue to heat up, and more than one person died.
This Ran Min couldn’t hold it any longer. He took Chen Changsheng and E Lai with him overnight and went straight to Zheng.
Chapter 5 The Great Drought
At this time, it is nearly October, and it is supposed to be the autumn harvest.
But in Chencang County, there is no sign of autumn harvest or no harvest at all.
It didn’t rain much, and the ground cracked as if someone was scratching around with a knife.
There should have been plenty of crops in the land and farmers who were busy with farm work while it was cool in the morning. However, all this did not happen. Occasionally, a few half-dead crops were left with cracked land.
Shocking!
This is Ran Min’s most direct feeling about Chencang County or the middle drought.
However, there is no way for Ran Min to change all this. During the drought, Qin Zhou secretariat Ma Yuan had already organized the people to dig wells to save themselves.
However, there is no egg, but it is water. It is worse than a pitiful yellow mud soup. Guo Mayuan tried many times and gave up the idea of drilling wells and simply asked the court for help
With a deep sigh, Ran Min decisively turned his horse over and ordered him to "look into the county seat", then he got off his horse and went with more than ten royal guards from Chen Changsheng and E Lai, who also followed him.
It was only after Chencang County that Ran Min got the most intuitive understanding of this unprecedented drought!
The sight was full of ragged people’s sallow and emaciated appearance, which made Ran Min mistakenly cross into later Middle East refugee camps rather than African slums.
The only thing that is better than those places is that Chencang County still maintains a certain degree of cleanliness.
Just when Ran Min was in a daze in the street, there came a shout in the distance, "Hey! Let’s make it all! "
Ran Min looked around, but a few officers pushed a flatbed car covered with a broken straw mat, showing a few feet to see if there were men, women, adults and children
Shocked, Ran Min reached out and stopped a middle-aged man who was also a victim here and asked, "Brother, what is this?"
The middle-aged man looked at the smell speech of about thirty years old and looked at Ran Min. When he saw that he was dressed as a cremation brother, he didn’t get angry. He was pie-pie, saying, "What else can starve to death?"
Even in the heart ready Ran Min was surprised to "starve to death? Didn’t the imperial court release food for disaster relief? I was in the capital city, but I heard that the emperor knew about the drought, but I made a fire at the court and asked not to starve a person. "
The man sighed, "the emperor? The mountain is high and the emperor is far away! Is there any food for disaster relief? Is it not normal for each bowl to show people’s shadows and starve to death? I believe that your emperor is angry. I have heard that he loves the people today, but can he fly here with wings? "
Ran Min smell speech curious tunnel "listen to the court bought a lot of food more here zha can starve to death? Is someone greedy? Even if there are 30% to 40% out of 100%, people should not starve to death. "
The man, glancing at Ran Min, sneered, "Ge is a cremation brother. There is a 30% to 40% in reading more than one hundred percent? Even if 10% or 20% of these people are hungry, if you have the courage to go to the mass graves outside the city and see how many bodies are starved to death, you will be afraid to eat them with other children! "
Ran Min smell speech is a breath of air conditioning, which is more serious than the situation reported by the Royal Guards.
Let the man Ran Min ordered sullenly, "Let’s not delay."
Then he took the accompanying E Lai and Chen Changsheng to another street.
Ran Min, the county seat of Chencang County, has turned black like the bottom of the pot, which is very scary.
Ran Min said faintly again, "I ordered Lu Gan to mobilize more than 10,000 military forces from Chang ‘an to take over the Chencang city defense, and then closed the city gate so that no one could enter or leave, and surrounded this Chencang county government for me, so that no birds could fly out!"
"Qin Zhou secretariat of Ma Yuan came to Chencang to see me. If you can’t see others, let him fuck off and go home to farm! Tell Jing Zhan to bring more royal guards and come to Chencang urgently. I want to see them in the fifth, no matter how many horses they run to death, I will skin them if they can’t get there! "
"Order Wang Meng and Cui Hao to step up the deployment of personnel to the central area. Qingzhou can first suspend another batch of grain from the transfer station and send foot soldiers to Chencang Road to keep an eye on it. No matter who hits these grain ideas, shoot them on the spot. If it involves local officials, a list must not be missed!"
"promise!" Chen Changsheng made a note of Ran Min’s will, and then sent a security guard to the scene to make it.
At this time, Yang, the magistrate in the backyard of Chencang County Government, is entertaining a distinguished guest.
The Archduke Liu is a real guest. Although he has been away from the Central Plains for a long time, he has been sent to eat ash in such a broken place as Chencang, but Yang Hao has also heard the name of Master Liu.
This time Liu Shen Liu Dagong personally brought this broken place, but it is not that the Liu family has noticed himself? It’s just around the corner to have Liu’s help to get rid of Chen Cang.
Heart more and more high heart Yang, raised his glass with a smile and said, "Come to Liugong County to propose a toast to you."
Liu Shen, however, hurried up and looked flattered, saying, "Don’t be an adult, but don’t be an adult."
As the saying goes, the sedan chair is carried by everyone, and it is also a way to become an official and a fortune every day.
This Liu Shen Liu Dagong is not only his own God of Wealth, but also rare for him to be so unworkable. He is really a talented person.
