Chapter 429

The content clearly describes the origin and basic information of their national government, including the reason why they overthrew the Wang family and the current situation of the whole southwest region.

Then he made a commitment on behalf of the national government and looked forward to the future.

Finally, the first policy directive was drawn up and implemented: the original annual tax of 50% was changed to two-tier tax every year.

This policy shocked the people of the whole province in an instant.

What does a 20% tax mean? Even farmers who grow crops can understand this meaning.

Because this land is ruled by the Wang family, it belongs to the Wang family. Since they grow land and do business on their territory, they naturally have to give a certain tax as a reward, that is, a kind of shelter.

50% of the tax, in other words, rural farmers have to provide half of the total grain harvest every year, and businessmen have to give 50% of the total profit every year.

It is also because of this policy that gradually led to the decline of the southwest. 50% of the income, whether farming or doing business, is basically working hard for the Wang family.

This is also the reason why so many mountain bandits have emerged in recent years, and the root cause why some places are getting poorer.

Because half of the harvest was turned in, a large family did not dare to open their stomachs to eat. Half of the grain looked like a lot, but this half had to support a large family until next year's autumn harvest, so where could half of the grain be enough?

Compared with farmers, businessmen are better. Although they give half of the profits, as long as they control the cost, raise the selling price, and then do something in the general ledger, they can definitely fool the past.

In addition, local merchants generally deal with officials. As long as the relationship is handled well, it can be achieved every year.

After all, food is more important than money. Food is the basis of survival. Without food, no amount of money is useless.

Therefore, the annual payment of grain is very strict, and a fixed output is set as the audit standard.

Although the news of this meeting has not yet reached the villages and towns, it is also a great good thing for the people in the provincial capital at the moment, because it means that there will be more savings at home in the future.

Businessmen who do business clap their hands and applaud. If there is only 20%, it is completely within the range that everyone can bear. In the future, there is no need to take risks or dredge relations with a lot of money for the local new government.

So the people easily accepted the existence of the national government, and they didn't have much emotion and opinions about the replacement of the supreme ruler. In short, they were very calm.

Originally, for the basic masses, their requirements are not high. It is enough to let them eat enough and live a peaceful life.

Yan Ze made such a policy as soon as he took office. I have to say that this measure won everyone's favor in an instant.

In addition, the reasons clearly stated in the announcement have deepened everyone's understanding of the national government. At least such behavior makes the hearts of the masses very comfortable, rather than the unclear and fooling attitude.

Frankly speaking, for the people, they don't pay much attention to who is the ruler. After all, it's far away for everyone, and it's not what they can decide to choose, as long as they don't get hungry.

Therefore, Yan Ze won the praise of the whole city for his first shot.

This busy work was sorted out from the morning to four or five o'clock in the afternoon. There was no big problem. The main reason was that there were many miscellaneous trivial things, so it took a long time.

"Finished?"

Qin Yiling saw Yan Ze enter the house and quickly handed over a cup of refreshing tea.

"Well, I've straightened out everything for the time being. I'm estimated to be busy for two or three days."

Yan Ze took the teacup and drank more than half of it at one breath. There are a lot of mess left by the Wang family. Many places are not perfect enough and there are many loopholes.

In order to make the whole southwest region operate effectively, we must first renovate Chengdu as the provincial capital, and the other counties can be effectively copied.

"I found an interesting place. Do you want to have a look?" Qin Yiling blinked playfully.

Yan Ze was not interested, "Oh? Go and have a look."

So Qin Yiling took Yan Ze's hand and came to a house all the way.

Yan Ze is not familiar with the pattern of Marshal's house, so he doesn't know where it is at the moment.

Qin Yiling opened the door. The room was filled with daily objects, but it was covered with a lot of dust. It was obvious that no one had lived and cleaned it for a long time.

But the layout and decoration of the house are very good. The identity of the people who lived before should not be ordinary.

Yan Ze had doubts in his heart, but he knew that his daughter-in-law was not aimless. He must have come with himself because she had found something.

So he didn't ask any more questions, just followed her quietly.

Qin Yiling stepped into the room, just glanced slightly, and went straight to the left.

When she got to the wall, she looked around the wall, then reached out and knocked on the wall, listened to it with her ears and touched it with her hands.

"There is heaven and earth in this wall?"

Yan Ze followed him to the wall and understood his daughter-in-law's behavior.

Qin Yiling gave an appreciative look, and then took out two Swiss knives from the storage space, one of which was handed to Yan Ze.

"I don't feel any mechanism. Let's try it with a knife first."

Because this wall is very complete, it doesn't look like an organ. The most important thing is that the sound of knocking on the wall is very solid, and there is no echo generated by the hollow.

"I'll just come."

Yan Ze took the Swiss knife and stabbed it directly into the wall. However, except for the knife handle deeply embedded in the wall, the wall had no change and no crack at all.

The couple looked at each other. There was something wrong with the wall. It was too strong!

Nowadays, the material of the wall can not be so strong. Obviously, it was built deliberately.

Qin Yiling naturally knew that there were good things in this room, otherwise he wouldn't have come with her brother Ze.

In fact, she felt it when she entered the Marshal's house last night, but she was too busy dealing with the Wang family at that time.

Until after lunch today, she felt it carefully. There were good things hidden in the Marshal's house. As for what it was, she couldn't notice it.

Since childhood, she has the ability to feel the existence of good things, even the specific direction, but she can't feel what it is.

She was surprised that there were more than one place in the Marshal's mansion where good things were hidden.
