After dinner, I felt punished by the public. Chen Kangbo didn’t want dessert [they specially prepared it]. After dinner, I went straight back to my room to rest and didn’t want to do anything.

He is tired.
Yu Yunwen also refused the dessert-mung bean cake and went back to her room to rest.
Lu You accepted a mung bean cake, thanked Wang Qi and went back to his room to rest.
Back to the room, Lu You secretly took out his "Hongwu Political Theory" and read it while eating mung bean cake. Unconsciously, he turned off the lights and went to bed at night.
Lying in bed, Lu You thinks of what Wang Qi said, and that this conversation is the most informative [ordinary Chinese farmers can have three meals a day], so things can’t sleep over and over again.
He kept thinking about the situation that the country was in a state of great need, and the financial situation was so difficult that farmers could have three meals a day, while farmers in the Southern Song Dynasty …
One meal a day is enough food and clothing.
If Wang Qi’s statement is true, it proves that Su Yonglin’s own achievements in governing and governing the country are true. If such a key is reversed, everything is true, then what he said is hard to be false.
Lu You knows very well how difficult it is for ordinary farmers to make three meals a day. As the poem says, people who are covered with Luo Qi are not sericulturists, and those who are relatively fat are never farmers in charge of agricultural production.
Lu You still remembers his teenage study tour and business trip after he became an official, seeing the living conditions of civilians in the Southern Song Dynasty, remembering the scrawny old peasants in the farmland, and remembering that they were hungry until their eyes turned green and fled refugees.
He knew how difficult it was for strangers, felt sorry for them, and once recognized that life was so difficult for strangers.
Even if the imperial court tries its best, it can’t make everyone eat enough, because it really can’t be done. The land can produce so much food, and it really can’t support everyone.
But when he saw Su Yonglin and heard what Wang Qi said, he wavered.
If all this is true, if China succeeds in making farmers full, if China succeeds in making the sky free from hunger, then isn’t it a complete mistake to say that he formed cognition in the past?
Doesn’t that mean that what happened to the peasants in the Southern Song Dynasty was human rather than predestined?
Is there enough land to feed every farmer in the Southern Song Dynasty?
If it’s not predestined that farmers in idle fields around the world still starve to death, it’s not that the land in China can’t support China people, so what did farmers in the Southern Song Dynasty die of?
Is it really because of the Southern Song Dynasty system?
Is it really a man-made disaster?
Can’t we change this reality without changing the system?
Lu You was utterly confused and felt that he was not sure what was right or wrong, and he couldn’t sleep at all, so he finally gave up sleeping and chose to get up and take a walk outside in his clothes to relieve a bad mood, so maybe he could fall asleep.
So he grabbed a piece of mung bean cake and walked out of the room, out of the post hall and into the courtyard while eating clothes.
It was a good moonlight day, and Lu You looked up and saw the bright moonlight, and her thoughts gradually calmed down.
He feels that he can continue to watch the social situation in the country for the next day to confirm what is true and what is false with his own eyes, and then confirm what he should do.
"Deputy Lu?"
Wang Qi sound sounded behind Lu You. He turned his head and saw Wang Qi dressed neatly behind him.
"Master wang? Haven’t you slept? "
"Oh, there are still some things to do. I was just about to wash my face and went to bed. I have to get up early and hurry."
Wang Qi walked beside Lu You and asked, "What hasn’t the land agreement slept yet? Can’t sleep? "
Lu you hesitated for a moment and turned to look at the hall and sighed.
"I really think too much about something, thinking too complicated to get an answer, and I can’t sleep because I’m so upset."
King qi mind move some ideas about this.
"Lu agreement to what things? Can you tell me? It may not answer your doubts, but one more person knows that it is always possible to have one more answer. "
Lu you took a sip of his lips and looked around, then lowered his throat.
"Master Wang, is it true that Chinese farmers can eat three meals? I wonder why farmers in China can eat three meals a day, but farmers in the Song Dynasty can do it.
I was once ordered to go out to Lin ‘an to do business and travel around. I saw farmers who couldn’t eat in all parts of the Song Dynasty, even in some so-called land of fish and rice, but there was no such thing. "
Wang Qi also asked Lu You what to ask. It was this that immediately made his heart stop.
Lu you bu suo
"Master Wang laughs?"
"I … I mean no harm."
King qi smiled and shook his head. "I didn’t expect the land agreement to ask me this question. This … I know that farmers in the Southern Dynasties often starved to death without land. We all know this kind of thing.
I can understand your doubts about whether there is such a situation in a big country, but I must say that this is a real big country. At present, farmers in most areas can eat three meals a day except for a few remote areas. "
"Is this … really true?"
Lu You is still a little skeptical.
"Do you think it will be fake?"
Wang Qi shook his head and said, "The great emperor reduced farmers’ taxes. Except for normal agricultural taxes, all the exorbitant taxes and levies were abolished. For example, the previous dynasty imposed exorbitant taxes and levies on farm tools, cattle, fertilizer, water and firewood, but in some places, the taxes and levies on kitchen knives, scissors and so on for farmers’ daily life were also abolished.
After the abolition of these exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the burden on farmers has been greatly reduced. It is normal to pay seven buckets of food tax for ten buckets, but it is normal to pay more than seven buckets of food, but now the rest belongs to farmers themselves. "
Lu You was deeply shocked.
"North Korea taxes so light? Really? "
"A great country does not exploit and oppress the peasants. The foundation of a great country depends on the peasants. The emperor resolutely abolished exorbitant taxes and reduced excessive agricultural taxes, leaving most of the income to the peasants. This is the foundation of a great agricultural policy."
Wang Qikou said, "In order to take care of farmers, it is convenient for farmers to pay taxes, and it has even promoted the tax reform, turning the collection of physical objects into the collection of copper coins, and reducing the burden on farmers in addition to all transportation losses. How can farmers not have enough to eat?"
Chapter 97 Lu You was shocked
I was deeply surprised by everything Wang Qi said about Lu You.
It’s not just about having a full stomach, but also about paying taxes on copper coins by big farmers
This is not a simple matter, let alone where did the farmers in big countries get so much copper money?
How can you pay taxes without copper coins?
Are all big farmers that rich?
"Collection of copper? How is this done? "
Lu you hurriedly asked questions.
Wang Qi patiently explained.
"It is not difficult to say that before the tax season every year, the court will send officials to buy grain from farmers. Farmers can freely choose how much grain to sell to the court. The court will buy grain at the local grain market price and then put it into large granaries all over the country.
For one thing, these grains can be prepared by the imperial court, and for another, it can make farmers have more copper coins, which is not only convenient for paying taxes and transportation, but also convenient for farmers to buy and feed a group of vendors. This is a beautiful thing. "
"So that’s it …"
