Quick Wear: After Binding the Boss

The policy of equalizing the land tax was also thoroughly implemented. From then on, people no longer had to pay various taxes such as head tax and corvée, but only had to pay the land tax every year. The more land they owned, the more they had to pay.

It has very effectively curbed the problem of land annexation. Without land annexation, ordinary people can own their own land. In addition, the current tax rate is very low, only one in thirty. As long as there are no consecutive years of disasters, ordinary people are fully capable of supporting themselves.

When business develops in the future, even the land tax can be abolished, and the court can even allocate subsidies.

Naturally, the landlords and officials would not accept this now, but they did want to make trouble. Unfortunately, they were all suppressed by the army. The common people benefited, so they naturally became more supportive of the court and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are easy to grow, have high yields, and are not very picky about the soil, so they are loved by all people.

When people have surplus food in their homes, there will be fewer bandits who rob houses. After all, many bandits only become bandits because they can't make a living. Now they can make a living by farming, so why should they hang a knife over their heads just to hear others call them heroes?

By the time everyone had enough food to eat, there had been great progress in politics, economy, and culture.

Various industries were born and factories were built, and there were also many geniuses who had nothing to do and liked to think about things.

In order to recruit talents from all over the world, Xingzhou pays out of his own pocket every year to gather them together. In the short term, nothing may be seen, but over time, various experience summaries and theorem discoveries will emerge unknowingly.

Another eleven years passed.

Emperor Cheng'an abdicated and the crown prince succeeded to the throne, with the title Emperor Jingren.

Of course, our His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is still His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, but he has been given more honors and privileges. His status is comparable to that of the emperor, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, and his word is final.

After Emperor Cheng'an had been obsessed with his political achievements for several years, he finally thought of letting the crown prince have a taste of the sweetness.

Emperor Jingren, who had been the crown prince for decades, suddenly found that he didn't really want to be an official. After all, being an emperor would inevitably affect his practice of martial arts. However, if he didn't become an emperor, no one else would be.

The former Prince of Yan and Princess of Yan were locked up after being interrogated by Emperor Cheng'an. They were not tortured, they were just kept in prison.

At first, Wei Xingran wanted to make a fuss, but Emperor Cheng An ignored him. After a long time, he knew that Emperor Cheng An would not let him go, and he started to curse.

She cursed the emperor, her mother, the prince, and Shi Jingjing. Of course, the one she cursed the longest and most harshly was Xing Zhou.

After all, it was all because of Xingzhou that he ended up in his current situation.

However, every time Wei Xingran cursed, he would miss a meal. After two days, Wei Xingran knew what was good for him and he dared not curse anymore. He looked at the guards and they behaved well, completely losing their former arrogance.

Before Emperor Cheng'an abdicated, he softened his heart and ordered his men to release Wei Xingran and Shi Jingjing. He also built a small courtyard for them to live in.

Of course, there were originally two small courtyards, but the two of them insisted on living together. Since it was given up, Emperor Cheng An naturally agreed to their wish.

The two men, who had been in prison for several years, got along well for a few days after meeting each other.

But when Wei Xingran found out that Shi Jingjing's golden finger was missing, he could no longer bear it after a few days.

It would have been fine if he had just started to mock Shi Jingjing, but whenever he wasn't happy, Wei Xingran would start beating her. At first, Shi Jingjing just cried and endured it, thinking that Wei Xingran couldn't stand the gap and that as long as she treated him well, he would return to his old self.

However, patience only leads to worsening of the situation.

Within half a month, Shi Jingjing could no longer bear it and began to rebel.

Both of them had their martial arts skills crippled. To be honest, Wei Xingran suffered even greater damage. Shi Jingjing did not resist before, but now that she resisted, Shi Jingjing found that Wei Xingran was nothing special.

After that, the two of them often fought chickens and dogs and swore in the streets. The neighbors were fed up with the joke.

Some kind-hearted people even secretly asked Shi Jingjing if she was being coerced. If so, she could file a complaint with the authorities.

I don't know what was wrong with Shi Jingjing, but she started scolding the other person. The other person was so kind-hearted that he couldn't stand being scolded.

The matter was then spread widely, and after that, the neighbors no longer cared about Shi Jingjing and her partner, and would only occasionally listen in and watch them make fun of themselves.

The current situation changes every year. Just live your own life well and don’t worry about others.

Another forty years passed.

The scene at this time had completely changed. The water was boiling, electricity was available, and even the telephone was in use.

With the advent of telephones, the central government’s control and supervision over local governments has increased significantly.

It was said in the past that policies were not implemented in rural areas, not only because people in the same place were of the same ethnic group, but also because of the control of the "local tyrants". Now with the telephone, the court can know the local situation at will, and the cost for those officials to conceal it has increased a lot.

In addition, there were major reforms in the imperial examination system.

The current education is divided into enlightenment, primary school, secondary school and university.

In addition to the traditional liberal arts courses of the Four Books and Five Classics, the subjects studied also include mathematics, martial arts, and science courses that combine physics, chemistry, and biology.

If we want science and technology to develop well, mathematics is the foundation of the foundation.

Dajing had originally done research in mathematics and other fields, but his research was much less than that in the Jinshi and Mingjing examinations. After all, although the Jinshi examination was difficult, the results were great.

No matter how well one does in the Mingsuan exam, the best one can do is become a sixth-rank official like the Director of the Ministry of Revenue, while most of the time one can only become a minor official of the eighth or ninth rank.

If you want to be promoted to the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, it all depends on luck, and as for the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, basically forget it.

Of course, another point is that Dajing does not have Arabic numerals, so it is not easy to learn mathematics.

In order to solve this problem, Xingzhou made a special trip to Sindhu.

After discovering that the Arabic numerals had already taken shape, Xingzhou first helped the other party improve the numbers, and then took these numbers back to Dajing.

Of course, they can’t be called Arabic numerals now. The officials of Dajing felt that it was thanks to King Jin that they were able to bring back such simple and clear numbers, so they called the Arabic numerals invented by the Sindhu people Jin numbers.

Since boiling the water, Dajing's development has reached a new level.

When Shi Jingjing saw clothes such as pullovers and short-sleeved shirts that are only available in modern society, she could no longer hold back her tears.

Wei Xingran died a few years ago. They had been fighting for so many years, but she had never been pregnant because after that, she would not let Wei Xingran touch her.

But she also didn't want to go out to work because she felt that others would laugh at her.

Anyway, the emperor sent people to deliver them three meals a day, so they would not starve to death even if they didn't work.

Shi Jingjing shed tears before her death. She knew she was wrong. If she had not been obsessed with helping Wei Xingran, but had used her golden finger to help the prince, she should be as honored as Prince Jin now.

If there is an afterlife, she will never give her heart to anyone in a TV show or novel again.
