The whole family of villains criticized her wildly, but the princess treated her with medical treatm

Yan Yang's mind went blank, and his fiancée took the initiative to kiss him.

The fragrant breath in her mouth made half of his body tingle.

It was a pity that the kiss was too short. He lowered his head, and from this intimate angle, he could just see her slender neck and porcelain skin. The slight summer sweat, like flowers and rain, made the semi-white thin inner lining tightly Sticking it an inch below the neck, the jade mountains are looming.

The Prince Regent was overcome with emotion and felt his throat was dry.

He suddenly tore the heavy armor apart.

He turned around and poured a glass of iced milk. The lingering fragrance in his mind was her, and he swallowed it one bite at a time.

Mu Tingxue didn't realize that because of the height difference and the angle, she was already having sex. After watching her fiancé being kissed, she suddenly turned around and drank pure milk. The scene was a bit... weird.

Other commanders drank heavily in front of the soldiers, but this one was too cautious. Every time she came, she would order the drinks in the tent to be replaced with milk.

However, the alcohol content in ancient times was very low, only about ten degrees.

"Have you harvested all the potatoes?"

"Ah."

The regent's voice was a little hoarse.

"Have you done the seeding?"

"It's done." When he mentioned the divine food potato, Yan Yang's rationality gradually returned, "Ten thousand acres of potato fields, one thousand fields produce eighty stones per mu, two thousand fields produce seventy stones per mu, and four thousand fields produce sixty stones per mu, that is Even the worst barren fields can yield fifty dan!"

This output is too appalling.

For ordinary rice and wheat, the maximum yield per mu is only three shi, and less than one or two shi.

The gap of dozens of times means that the lieutenant general of the Zhenbei Army will no longer be short of food. In the second quarter, the army will cultivate one million acres of fields and plant potatoes. Excluding the tax payment, the entire army will not only be self-sufficient in food in the coming year, but also have more food. There was even enough food for the soldiers and their entire family!

You know, many people come to join the army because they can no longer survive and are too hungry to bear it, so they come to the army to work hard to make ends meet.

Which soldier's family doesn't have a few relatives who starve to death?

In recent years, there have been many natural disasters, including snowstorms, droughts, and locust plagues. "When people are hungry, people eat each other" are just six indifferent words in history books. What lies behind them is the blood and tears of hell on earth.

On this trip, Mu Tingxue not only took away three thousand mechanical repeating crossbows and one hundred thousand bows and arrows, but also took away enough 30 acres of land to plant 3600 million kilograms of seed potatoes from the military warehouse. Densely covered with budding spots.

It's the end of June.

The weather was extremely hot.

A team of soldiers, pushing a one-ton steel trolley, led by the eldest princess, transported high-quality seed potatoes to the Hubu Yamen.

The leader of the grain security soldier was a 23-year-old strong, rough man with a square and handsome face, a tiger's back, a bear's waist, and mantis legs.His name is Heizi. He was born as a slave and fought bravely. During the Regent's Northern Expedition, he killed dozens of Beiyu soldiers and successfully cut off five heads. However, due to his low status, he was unable to receive the silver reward.

On that day, it was the eldest princess who came to the army and said to the regent: "Between life and death on the battlefield, the lives of soldiers are equally precious. Why is it that when it comes time to evaluate meritorious service, it is necessary to distinguish between high and low birth? We must be fair. Follow through to the end, and you will be rewarded for your merits!"

He received his first head reward of ten taels of silver in his life, plus 120 kilograms of potatoes, which was just enough to plant an acre of military land.

When the potatoes were ripe, a plant came out of the field, with three fist-sized potatoes hanging from its roots, each weighing a pound. He lay in the field holding the potatoes and cried all night long.

If this kind of divine food had been available a few years earlier, wouldn’t my father, brother, and sister have starved to death?

The seed potatoes were delivered to the Hubu Yamen.

Mu Tingxue heard the soldier named Heizi say while unloading the goods: "Ten years ago, the Woye River changed its course and destroyed the old house. The whole family starved to death, and only my sister and I were left. He gave me a piece of black bran steamed bread, and I lived, but my sister died. For so many years, I have always hated why it was not me who died."

Mu Tingxue stood where she was, unable to calm down.

The servant sister gave her last surviving piece of corn to her youngest brother, and she starved to death.

For Heizi, that's not a cornstarch, it's his sister's life!

She looked at this mighty and strong soldier in front of her, with his head hanging down and crying like a twelve or thirteen year old child.Now his field has harvested seventy kilograms of potatoes, but he can no longer save his relatives who died of starvation.

"Don't cry."

Mu Tingxue still had some experience in how to comfort a crying child. She took out two chocolate candies and put them into Heizi's hand, "Eat something sweet."

Heizi wiped away his tears randomly, his cheeks burning red.

My whole body tensed up and I squeezed the two candies tightly.

Before she could say thank you, she saw that the eldest princess had already raised the mechanical repeating crossbow, aimed at the noisy and noisy household attendant, pulled the hanging knife, and fired a dozen arrows in a row.

"Li Gong, out of thirty acres of potato fields, you monopolize 20 acres and only allocate [-] acres to the Li family? Although my old Li family has declined, the founder of the country, Queen Xiaowen, is also a member of my old Li family!"

"Sir Li, don't make excuses. Nangongjie is not easy to fool. You have 20 and I have [-]. What's the point?"

"If you don't give me some strength, I can't stop Lijia's domineering and greedy trend! When I tried to win over everyone, I said we should never forget each other as long as we are rich, but now that we have this magical potato food, we have become rich and powerful again and you are all dogs!"

……

These officials, who spend their days struggling in the eyes of money, come from aristocratic families, and Jing Yugong divorced because of "unequal sharing of the spoils". Conflicts arose. They gathered in the office of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and had been fighting for an hour. Spit flew everywhere and three tea sets were smashed.

Until, more than a dozen arrows were shot from outside the door.

The archer's accuracy was obviously poor, the arrows flew randomly, and every arrow was so unexpected.

An arrow pierced Nangong Da Situ's official hat diagonally, almost scaring him to the point of pissing him. He rolled his eyes and looked above his head: "It's murder!"

An arrow knocked over the inkstone on the table, and vermilion ink splashed all over Mr. Li's face. He wiped it with his hand in pain, as if his face was bleeding.

Mr. Gao was good at martial arts. He raised his hand smoothly to block the arrow. Mr. Su beside him was unfortunately affected. The blocked arrow hit his buttocks. He clutched his bleeding buttocks and screamed in pain. : "I want to write a piece of paper to impeach you for attacking an official of the imperial court!"

Mu Tingxue held up a mechanical repeating crossbow with a kind smile on her face, and walked into the duty room of the Ministry of Household Affairs: "I just came back from Zhenbei Military Camp and transported 30 acres of potato seeds. Can you guys discuss it?"

The heads of these aristocratic families were about to have a fit, but when they heard about potatoes, they immediately turned off the flames.

Li Fan took a step forward: "We have discussed it. This is the distribution list drawn up by the old minister. Please take a look at it."

Mu Tingxue glanced at it and found that it was exactly what she had expected. Lijia was in disgrace and had two-thirds of it. The remaining [-] acres were given to the Nangong family at [-], the Su family at [-], and the other families all had zero A few thousand or even a few hundred. As for the Qin family, Cui family, and Mu family that belonged to the Yan Party, there was not a single potato.

It can be seen from this that her purpose of driving a wedge between the aristocratic family and the powerful group has been achieved.

She raised her hand, and the soldiers took the order and immediately brought in dozens of sacks of potatoes, opened the sacks, and showed them to these old guys.

"My lords, my highest potato yield per acre is 84 shi."

There were sounds of air conditioning coming and going in the duty room.

84 stones?It is 28 times that of three stones!

Their eyes became the shape of silver and gold ingots.

"However, I heard that some of you, when paying the land tax, played tricks on me and ruined my princess' reputation." Mu Tingxue's voice suddenly became stern. She had already received Xiao Xiao. Wangzhi's reply contained a detailed account of the fleeing tenant farmers in Yongzhou.

"Your Highness, I don't dare to do this. All land taxes must be paid, and I don't dare to violate any of them."

"We are law-abiding and our 20 acres of land have been surveyed and included in the "Fish Scale Atlas". Every national policy implemented by His Highness is supported by our ministers. How can we dare to tarnish your reputation? The Li family has been a famous family for generations. It is not as good as leaving." You are like those people who live like flies and dogs."

The ministers expressed their sincerity that this was absolutely not the case.

Mu Tingxue didn't like to hear these nice words, so she pointed it out directly and said: "Some people added a land tax of three cents per acre to the tenant farmers, making them pay an additional tax in addition to [-]% of the rent. If the tenant farmers become refugees, what will they think of this princess? They will feel that their inability to survive is the result of my tyranny!"

As soon as these words came out, more than a third of the people present felt guilty and their expressions changed.

Annoying.

Who stabbed him out?

This was a bad idea of ​​tax evasion that a dozen or so aristocratic families came up with after having a drink together.They felt that although the eldest princess was ruthless and thoughtful, she was in a high position and could not cover everything. When tax collection was actually implemented at the lower levels, there were still loopholes to exploit. As long as the land tax was paid and the government's targets were met, It doesn't matter where the tax money comes from.

It’s just forcing some tenant farmers to death, what’s the big deal? Anyway, they have a lot of fields, and if you don’t plant it, someone else will.

"Your land is all registered. The "Fish Scale Atlas" records in detail who the land deed belongs to and who the tenants are. All tenant files are well-documented. Those who force tenants to pay taxes on behalf of the landlord will Never grow potatoes!"

This is the power of big data.
