Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

"Mother, you eat." The doll, who is not knee-high, raised his hand against a huge head that is not in harmony with the body. In his hand is a melon vine. He is also very hungry and very greedy. His eyes have been fixed on the melon vine. , Swallowing saliva.

The woman straightened up, her face full of weather and frost couldn't even smile: "You eat, mother is not hungry, mother drank a lot of water, her belly is full."

The doll did not know that the adult was lying, stuffed the melon vine into her mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it-there was still mud on it, but no one disliked it at this time.

The doll squatted on Tianlong: "Mother, when will my sister be back?"

The woman was taken aback, Tongzhou recruited, saying it was recruiting, but in fact it was arresting Ding. Her father-in-law was arrested, her husband was arrested, the eldest son and the second son were also arrested, and even the uncles were arrested. The family was originally a small landlord, but now he has sold his servants, sold valuables, and failed to pay taxes.

She can't support her daughter. If her daughter is so young, she will be called a mother if she can talk. She looks very beautiful, a little girl like a flower.

But the family can't raise it!

Children who are too young are not even willing to buy human teeth.

She took her daughter to the city and threw her daughter under the corner of a large family.

These days, she has been telling herself that if the big family is kind, her daughter will definitely survive.

In the beginning, it was just a seller's wealth. After the family's wealth was gone, the mother-in-law took the old people and locked herself in the house. They didn't want to eat anything except drinking water. The old people died.

But the old people died, and their lives were not getting better. The tax was getting heavier and heavier, and they soon reached the point of selling girls.

Several older daughters were sold.

Later it was the older son.

Later, their children were too young to sell, so they had to throw them away.

Some poor people gave birth to children, and both men and women drowned directly.

The doll asked the woman: "Mother, I heard that there is a South Bodhisattva in Gaoyou, where anyone can find a living and eat their stomachs. Mother, why don't we go to Gaoyou?"

The woman gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Today, Tongzhou is closed, and only people are allowed to come in, and no one is allowed to go out. If you leave the city without a paperwork, you will be killed on the spot as an intermediary.

The people dare not escape.

Besides, she was born in Tongzhou since she was a child. Her world is only one acre of land in front of her eyes. She has never been outside, and she doesn't know what it looks like outside.

She didn't know if her husband and father-in-law were still alive, and whether they would come back.

In the past, when days were peaceful, she was also the wife of the little landlord's family, and she was in intrigue with the concubines.

Nowadays, the days are sad, but the concubines are twisted into a rope.

The sun went down.

The woman glanced at the red clouds on the horizon, took the child's hand, crouched and said, "Back."

She gave birth to four sons and three daughters. In the end, she only kept this little son. None of the wives’ sons were kept, so the younger son is the only root. As long as the younger son is there, the family will be there. , Married a wife, had a few more children, and the family got up again.

The original brick house was also sold. The woman's family is now living in a straw shed. She first fetches water, prepares to boil a pot of wild vegetables, and then puts some beans. Together with water, she can also mix her belly.

The concubines came back one after another. They were originally girls from the landlord's family, but they were still the wives of the landlord's family after they were married, but now they are all peasant women and want to go to the land.

They dare not sell the land. They are all ancestral properties. If they are sold, they are sinners. No one wants to be sinners of a family. They would rather starve to death than sell land.

The concubines were tired for a day, but did not eat anything, they all looked at the woman eagerly.

The woman smiled at them: "It will be well soon."

No one was talking at the dinner table, the atmosphere was very depressing, and the doll dared not talk. Every day at this time, the family was like this. He was too young to remember what it was like when he was younger. There are a lot of people. Once he asked his mother, what about the older brothers and sisters around him?

As a result, his mother held him and cried, and since then he dare not ask.

But tonight, the woman’s second sister-in-law whispered after dinner: "I heard that in Gaoyou, women can also set up households..."

After a moment of silence, the sister-in-law said: "Don't think about it, you can't get out."

The second sister-in-law lowered her head, tears falling into the bowl: "I think, when I go to Gaoyou, we can all go to make clothes and make up. I heard that Gaoyou can work and live a good life. I can eat enough. There is a baby, I don’t want to drown him when he is born."

She only found out that she was pregnant after her husband left, but the pregnant woman is not expensive at this time, so she still goes to the ground, but the concubines will take more care of her.

The second sister-in-law whispered: "I can't live this way forever, who knows it will be gone someday."

Her voice was hoarse: "I don't want to die yet."

The choice between life and death is so easy.

Since the men in the family are gone, the master has become the sister-in-law. When the family married a daughter-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law was the most strenuous choice because the family business was passed on to the eldest son, so the eldest daughter-in-law had to be able to manage the house and handle the affairs. The old lady had chosen for several years before she decided on her sister-in-law.

She didn't disappoint her elders either. She took over the accounts of her husband's family after she got married, and took care of her house, even if she had no children, her position was very stable.

The men were gone, she was the one who supported this family.

Sister-in-law drank the last sip of wild vegetable soup. She looked around the women and found that everyone was bowing their heads and asked: "You all want to go to Gaoyou?"

The concubines hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Sister-in-law asked again: "Even if I die on the road, I still have to go?"

The woman hugged the doll and said to her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, I'm six years old, and after eight years old he will be the age of conscription..."

Can an eight-year-old doll go to the battlefield?Can't hold the tip of the gun securely?Going to the battlefield is just to die.

In the eyes of the adult above, this doll is just a Ding who has been used once and never again. In her eyes, this is her lifeblood.

She didn't save the other children, and she wouldn't be able to save the last one.

She thought she was the only one who wanted to escape to Gaoyou, but she never dared to mention it. Now that she knows that other women have thought about it, she finally mustered up the courage.

The sister-in-law was silent, and the concubines were afraid to speak.

They said they were waiting for the men to come back, but they knew in their hearts that if there was no news for so long, they would definitely not be able to come back.

The dead are dead, they still have to live!

Sister-in-law puts down the bowl: "I'll leave tonight. No luggage or dry food. There is a dog hole at the root of the city wall. Let's go when there is no one."

"Sister-in-law... how do you know there is a dog hole there?"

My sister-in-law coughed slightly: "Just have you thought about escaping to Gaoyou?"

A family of women took a small doll and left Tongzhou in the middle of the night. They lived on the edge of the city. They dared to run when the soldiers of the night watch changed their defenses. The doll didn't dare to make a sound. He pulled his mother's clothes tightly and used it. Run with the greatest strength in this life.

run!

There is a way to survive!

The concubines gritted their teeth, arched and ran forward.

If you have the opportunity to be a man, who wants to be a pig?

——

"The people of Tongzhou are starting to flee?" Lin Yuan didn't expect the people of Tongzhou to be so tolerant. They did not run until now. At the end of the 13th year, Tongzhou drove out the refugees. The people fled.

Some of the people fled to Gaoyou, some fled to Taizhou, and some fell the grass.

Lin Yuan is not afraid of too many people, just too few people.

Of course, the number of this person must be within his tolerance.

Robben said: "Tongzhou's tax is too high."

Tongzhou has not implemented the taxes set by the court for a long time. They levied the army aggressively, expropriated the strong labor of the family, left the old, weak, sick and disabled. , Various taxes have been equal to commercial taxes.

But do people have the financial resources of businessmen?

The people from the bottom ran away first. Later, the small families were also dragged down and began to flee.

In the past three months, the number of people under Lin Yuan's rule has increased by 50,000, and the number is still increasing.

Lin Yuan borrowed from the taxation experience before crossing, he set a limit, and people below this income limit are not taxed.

As for how much people earn, this is the responsibility of the officials and officials. There is a special tax bureau.

There is also help for poor households-without subsidies, Lin Yuan is also poor.

Those who earn less do not have to pay taxes.

Those who earn a fair amount don't pay much tax.

Those who earn more will pay more taxes.

And now the work is usually in large factories, and it is easy to investigate and manage, and the income reported to the tax bureau is basically the same as the actual income.

However, Lin Yuan understands that tax evasion is common, so different industries have different tax deduction standards.

After the tax bureau had set the rules and given them to him for review, Lin Yuan himself had a big view, and it took a few days and nights to find out the irregularities and let them continue to correct them.

The agricultural tax in the Yuan Dynasty was very low. Lin Yuan always felt that Genghis Khan was really good. From the perspective of a ruler, he beat the country and worked hard to support the people. The Yuan Dynasty relied on commercial taxes, not agricultural taxes. According to historical records, some Local agricultural taxes are as low as there is no such thing.

But Genghis Khan was fine when he was alive, and when he died, the decree began to be discounted.

For example, Tongzhou dared to collect taxes.

Moreover, the tax collection in Tongzhou is very strange. Tongzhou looks at the land. For example, Tongzhou said that if one mu of land can produce 30 shi of rice, the people in this city will pay 10 shi of the tax this year.

But what if the land is not abundant?

What if there is a flood or drought?

In addition, there is also a poll tax. The poll tax is not paid by farmers, but by ordinary people in the city without land. How many people in the family, how much tax does each person pay in a year, and what?A little baby waiting to be fed?That's also an individual and has to pay taxes.

So the people in Tongzhou dared not have children, and they would drown if they were born.

Last year, the tax was only paid once a year, but this year, it was paid twice, once every six months.

That's why so many people fled.

Lin Yuan said softly, "Tongzhou... it's time to move."

After collecting so many taxes and not actually going to war, the granary must be full?

Lin Yuan smiled at Robben: "Do you dare to fight?"

Robben solemnly bowed: "But let's fight!"

The author has something to say: Lin Domineering President Yuan: "It's cold, let Tongzhou go bankrupt."
