Traveling through time with billions of supplies to become a farmer's little fortune
Chapter 205: We're all going to starve to death anyway, so we might as well fight and kill this
“Besides, it is not reasonable for the Emperor to rob the poor and help the rich. In the end, all the money will be in the hands of the rich and powerful officials.
The poorest are the people. If there is a drought or flood again, you, the emperor, will have to take money from the national treasury.
So in the end the poorest ones were the emperor and the common people. "
Su Muyao looked at the emperor obediently after she finished speaking.
The emperor then realized that although it was a tax that had been passed down from generation to generation, it was indeed the people who suffered in the end.
Those high-ranking officials will become richer and richer, while those hard-working people will become poorer and poorer.
Seeing that the emperor seemed to agree, Su Muyao continued, "Farmers have to pay one-third of the tax for farming. I heard that some places even pay half of it.
If the grain production is reduced due to slightly bad weather, the remaining grain, apart from the grain that has been handed over, will not be enough to eat until the spring, let alone any surplus grain.
Who will want to farm in the future? Most of those who do farm have no other options."
At this point, Su Muyao suddenly looked at the emperor, and after a while she asked, "May I ask how the previous dynasty fell, uncle?"
The emperor was shocked.
As early as in the previous dynasty, the people rebelled because they did not have enough food.
At that time, the people stationed in the border town of Longcheng treated the people well.
In the chaotic times when rebellions broke out one after another in various places, it was the most peaceful piece of land. Later, Major General Longcheng also joined the uprising and finally gained this vast territory.
The queen standing by was shocked. She never thought that this little girl would dare to say anything.
"Yaoyao, don't talk nonsense. There are many reasons for this previous dynasty. Let's not talk about the loss of the imperial seal, which has shaken the foundation of the country.
In addition, due to the mischief of the traitors in the past, the emperor of the previous dynasty naturally could not hold his position firmly."
Su Muyao shook her head and said: "Although there is no imperial seal, if the people are prosperous, it doesn't matter to them whether there is an imperial seal or not or who is the emperor.
The people are not well fed and are resentful. This resentment is accumulating and when someone provokes them to rebel, they start to rebel.
We're going to starve to death anyway, so why not give it a try and kill the dog... "
Su Muyao shuddered and almost blurted out the words "dog emperor".
"Why kill the dog?" The emperor asked when he saw Su Muyao stopped talking.
The Queen's face turned pale and said, "It must be the Emperor. You heard it wrong."
The emperor then realized that the atmosphere was rather subtle, and with the queen's attempt to cover up her mistake, he instantly realized that the little princess was probably talking about the dog-killing emperor.
Anyway, it's not him who is being talked about, what can I do?
At this time, I can only pretend that I heard it wrong, otherwise I can save face by saying it out loud.
Su Muyao looked at the queen standing beside her and felt that she was as beautiful as a fairy from another world, especially her profile which was so beautiful.
Suddenly I thought of Long Yuan who was far away at the border. He really looked 70% like the queen.
Although the emperor could only pretend that he had misheard, he was still angry.
"Yaoyao's words make sense, but this matter is of great importance. Those people followed our ancestors to build the country, and they just wanted to protect their descendants. If we really don't give them this favor, wouldn't it chill everyone's hearts?"
The emperor seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "Many years ago, someone proposed this idea, but all the ministers in the court opposed it at that time, and the person who proposed the idea was later impeached by many ministers.
In the end, the person who came up with this idea retired and returned to his hometown, never to set foot in the court again. "
The Queen also nodded and said, "If Yaoyao really does what she said, the Emperor will be roasted on the stove.
And that would inevitably cause unrest in the court."
Su Muyao sighed. On the surface, she felt that the emperor seemed to be controlled to some extent, but on second thought, the emperor was not strong enough.
"Yaoyao has heard of a fairyland. I wonder if Uncle Huang is interested?"
"Oh, tell me and listen"
“I have a master, and I believe Uncle Huang knows about it, but this master never shows up, and I have never seen him before.
I heard from my master that there was once such a country where the people lived in peace and contentment, the government would give them a monthly stipend when they were old, and they could see a doctor and get medicine for free when they were sick.
"Uncle Huang, I want to ask, if this is the case, will the people still rebel?"
emperor……
Is there really such a place?
The queen frowned and said in a pleasant voice, "Is there really such a place?"
Su Muyao replied: "I heard that there is as much rice there as the grass on the mountain. You can't eat it all, and the leftover rice can be used to feed a few pigs and sheep.
Everyone can eat whatever they want, unlike the people of our dynasty who can only eat two meals a day, and most of them just eat some wild vegetable porridge.
They have three meals a day, and if they get hungry at night, they can get up and go out to buy some food."
emperor……
It sounds good, but it's too outrageous. With so many people, how much money would the court need to feed them?
The queen said in a firm tone: "I am willing to be the first person to pay taxes. As Xiao Fuxing said, I and the ministers have a lot of property. The money we earn will definitely be paid faster than the taxes paid by the people."
But the queen was thinking about the money she earned, which she basically gave to the emperor.
I played the role of starting this, not to mention that it sounds good in name.
Just say that with me leading the way, even if those ministers want to make trouble, how far can they go?
Su Muyao never expected that the person who firmly supported her in the end was the Queen.
Since the Queen had said so, Su Muyao naturally had to strike while the iron was hot and immediately flattered her, "Uncle Emperor, no wonder the Queen can be the mother of the country, this kind of mind is not something that an ordinary woman can do.
Although my aunt is a woman, she is more righteous than many men, which makes me admire her."
Emperor...what's the matter? It's just that I don't understand the big picture.
A sycophant.
Queen...
Finally, after much thought, the emperor decided that he should adopt Su Muyao's suggestion.
Take Xiao Fuxing’s high-yield grain for example. Now as long as the whole country grows it, people will basically have no worries about food and clothing.
Since there were not enough grain seeds at the beginning, only the people living near the capital were allocated grain seeds.
The emperor suddenly thought of the nice words this little fox said. Just asking her to pay some taxes was like asking her life. He would take advantage of her proposal to make a fortune from her.
"Yaoyao, if that's the case, shouldn't you also take the lead?"
Su Muyao had already thought of a solution. She was unwilling to pay, but she had as much food as she wanted in her space.
The grain that had long filled the entire space could no longer be piled up, and now all the grain planting on the land in the space had stopped.
There are just too many.
"Uncle Huang, I am willing to use double the grain as tax money. What do you think?"
The emperor was stunned at first, then overjoyed. This is more cost-effective than silver.
After all, if you use silver to buy food, the price of food will rise rapidly if there is a natural disaster.
In other words, Su Muyao was actually willing to pay twice as much...
