Farmer’s Little Girl - Chapter 3424

Chapter 3424

Zhou Man somehow still has theoretical knowledge, Mingda and Yin or that have no theoretical knowledge, just helping to pass something can make mistakes.

So when the officers and soldiers arrived, they saw five people squatting in the kitchen with gray faces.

The servants in the Dianzhong Province should not be seen, and they stepped forward to salute respectfully, “The lower officials paid respect to the princess, the maid, the lord of Liyang, the governor of Shanghe County, and Bo Anning.”

The chief    has no expression on his face.

Bai Shan didn’t know that his face was stained with black ashes, so he straightened up and asked with a smile, “Why are the people from your palace here here?”

The attendant tried to make herself ignore the gray on Bai Shan’s face, lowered his eyes and replied: “Your Majesty wrote a reply to the county lord, and the princess mansion has brought some things.”

He paused and continued: “Your Majesty cares about the princess and all the adults, and he specially divided a part of the fruits and vegetables that Lingnan will pay tribute this year to give the princess and the adults a taste.”

After that, he waved his hand behind him, and the people behind him lifted the box up.

He opened one of the boxes. There were a lot of boxes stacked in it. He opened it and showed them, “This is a tangerine, unique to Lingnan. It is somewhat stale when sent to the capital. The princess and the adults can just taste it right now. Fresh…”

Mingda took one from the box in his hand, and smiled and said, “It’s indeed better than the one sent to the capital. It’s harder.”

She paused, and asked Bai Shan curiously, “Weird, we have been here for a while, and there are no tangerines for sale here.”

Li said quickly: “Oh, we don’t have this precious thing here…”

After speaking, he realized who he was talking to, and covered his mouth hurriedly.

The waiter also gave a long look.

Mingda smiled and said: “It doesn’t matter, let him talk back.”

Li was so relieved when she saw her being friendly, he said in a low voice: “This thing is precious, we have only heard of it, we rarely see it, let alone eat and plant.”

Zhou Man heard it, and immediately dropped the fire stick in his hand and ran over, “Let me see.”

The attendant hurriedly offered the box, Zhou Man picked it up and looked at it and asked Keke excitedly, “Can you accept it?”

Keke: “The encyclopedia needs cultivable plants.”

Zhou Man asked the waiter, “Where can there be any species around here? Let’s go to learn more.”

Internal waiter: “…Liuzhou has it.”

Zhou Man made the decision, and said to his old friends: “Let’s go to Liuzhou to play in two days.”

Bai Shan and Yin may naturally have no objection. Mingda and Bai Jiro happened to have enough fun here, so they responded, “Okay.”

Internal servant:…

Mingda, they just looked at other things.

Many people in the capital sent them things, which were originally sent by people from the Princess’s Mansion. Who knew that the emperor suddenly took over, and the things were naturally delivered by the servants in the palace and the guards in the palace.

The attendant took out two special letters in his arms, one of which was handed to Bai Shan, “This is from your majesty to the princess.”

gave another letter to Mingda, “This is sent back from Anxi by the officer of the county.”

Mingda saw Bai Erlang’s name on the envelope, and knew that the second son didn’t want her to know it, so he didn’t even call his father.

She glanced at Shijiro who was anxious, and reached out to take it.

Bai Shan opened the letter to see.

He was named Shanghe County Lord for his contribution to the opening of water transportation. After successfully presiding over the tax reform, the emperor deliberately named him as Qin State Lord, but Bai Shan insisted on rejecting him.

Because of the tax reform, he has been hated by people. At the beginning, Yang Heshu was demoted. In addition to the problems in the work he presided over, the main reason was that he proposed tax reform and land reform.

In fact, this is the idea of ​​Bai Shan, Zhou Man, Tang He and others, and Yang Heshu.

Local land circulation speeds up, more and more peasants lose their land, and the annual birth rate makes it difficult for the land equalization system to continue.

Because of the medical department system, the mortality rate of children everywhere has dropped greatly, which has allowed the population to grow faster.

At present, because of the increase in food production and the sharp drop in food prices, the average person’s land per capita is decreasing, but life is slowly getting better, so no one has noticed that it is wrong.

In addition, because of the opening of water transportation, the world is stable, and commerce has become more and more active. Many people can live without land, and no one will realize the hidden dangers.

But Bai Shan is different. Not only did he have an online IQ, but he also read the miscellaneous books brought out by Zhou Man from a young age. He saw the danger hidden behind him.

If the peasants are allowed to lose their land, the land will gather little by little in the hands of the rich and powerful, and within a century, the great advancement will be chaotic.

Yang Heshu, as the leftist at the time, naturally saw it.

So they decided to reform after repeated arguments.

The first thing to do is to convince the emperor.

The emperor did not agree at first.

The changes are too great. Once this changes, the world that has been stable for a few years is afraid that it will become chaotic. He doesn’t want to be the king of chaos.

However, the emperor likes to run outside. Bai Shan and Zhou Man took advantage of the autumn harvest and turned the emperor all the way from Yongzhou to Luozhou. On the way, they saw many people who lost their land for various reasons. They also saw the population because of the large population. The young people who have less land after they reach adulthood will contend with their brothers for the meager Yongye field of their father.

At that time, Bai Shan asked the emperor, “Your Majesty, population growth is a good thing. In the previous dynasty, because of the war, the people did not save three. The first emperor worked hard to let the people rest and rest for more than 20 years. You have worked hard for so long, and it is only now. The number of households and population.”

“Can you bear to watch the war again?” He said: “It’s not obvious now, but the population is increasing, especially in the Guanzhong area, where the land is small and there are many people. Unless the court forces the people to move, it will be another twenty years. Another batch of newborns grow up. They can’t get the land and they can’t sustain themselves, so they can only become refugees.”

The emperor frowned: “Commercial…”

“Commercial affairs cannot accommodate so many people.”

The emperor groaned, “But your proposal with Yang Changbo is too risky. No matter what I do, I have reasons to advance or retreat. But once you and Yang Changbo make it, if they can’t proceed, they will undoubtedly die.”

He said: “Not only you die, but your family can…”

Bai Shan immediately said: “The minister knows that the minister and Yang Xiang don’t want to do it overnight, we can take care of it slowly.”

The emperor asked: “Which one will come first?”

Zhou Man beside    interrupted and said: “Let’s start with a suitable marriage age.”

She said: “During the Han Dynasty, the court forced the marriage age down for the sake of the people, but this is actually unreasonable. There is something in the “Huang Di Nei Jing”…”

“You just said how old is the right age?” The emperor interrupted her, for fear that she would not be able to stop talking, which was a long talk.

Zhou Man took the words in regret and said: “Or you abolish the single tax, men under twenty years old, women under eighteen years old are not allowed to get married.”

See you tomorrow
