232. Confucian Temple Negotiation

Zhao Mengqi glanced at the gentry, smiled, and said nothing more. He turned around and walked towards Dacheng Palace.

This Confucian Temple was first built when Fan Zhongyan was the governor of the State. At the same time, the prefectures and schools were also built together, creating a system of integration of temples and schools. Other places have followed suit and have been used for nearly a thousand years.

At this time, the Confucian Temple covers an area of ​​nearly 200 acres and has 213 buildings, the highest in Jiangnan Academy. In later generations, it only had one-sixth of the area left, and most of the buildings were rebuilt many times.

Of course, the buildings built by Fan Zhongyan have also been destroyed by the Jin soldiers. The Dacheng Hall in front of Zhao Mengqi was rebuilt in Shaoxing in the 11th year. After more than 110 years of storms, it is still solemn and majestic.

When he walked into the hall, the hall was very wide. Zhao Mengqi slowly walked to the portrait of Confucius and looked up.

The portrait is more than ten feet tall. Confucius in the painting is tall and majestic, humble and polite, with bright eyes, illuminating China for thousands of years.

Heaven will not give birth to Zhong Ni, and it will be like the long night forever.

Above the portrait, these three gold-plated plaques are hung, and the center is in this piece, with the words "The Master of All Ages", "The Sage is Here" on the right, and "The Holy Collection" on the left.

Zhao Mengqi was wearing military uniform and armor. If Confucius had a spirit, he would not know what he should think about this situation.

It is said that Confucius' father was a powerful general of Lu. He was over nine feet tall and strong. He thought he had no prejudice against warriors.

Zhao Mengqi thought to himself, and then bowed his hands and bowed three times. No matter how the merits and demerits of Confucianism changed, Confucius himself was still worthy of respect.

After worshiping Confucius, Zhao Mengqi slowly visited the entire hall.

There are many stone carvings displayed around the walls of the hall, including the pictures of Confucius' disciples, the pictures of Confucius' holy sites, the pictures of Mencius' holy sites, and the scriptures of stone carvings, "The Analects of Confucius", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Great Learning", and "The Book of Songs". What made Zhao Mengqi's eyes lit up the most were the four stone tablets, "Heaven, Earth, People, and City".

The sky is the "Astronomy Picture", the oldest ancient carved oriental astrological map in the world. There are also texts under the picture, which summarizes the Chinese people's understanding of astronomy at this time.

The land is "Geographical Map", which should be one of the oldest stone carved national maps of China in the world, with all the mountains and rivers in China.

The man is the "Emperor Shaoyun Tu", a historical chart centered on the emperor, from the legendary Huangdi to the official Zhao Yun at this time, and the rise and fall of the rise and fall of the rule and chaos.

The authors of the three pictures are all Huang Shang. They are not Huang Shang who wrote the "Nine Yin Sutras", but the teacher of Song Ningzong when he was the crown prince.

In order to teach Zhao Kuo, he spent more than a year to create eight teaching patterns, three of which were obtained by Wang Zhiyuan.

Eight years ago, Wang Zhiyuan was appointed as the Zhejiang Xi Jinping Office, so he took out the stele to engrave it here, and added the emperor's map to this day.

The city is "Pingjiangtu", which carved the floor plan of Pingjiang City at this time, which was passed down to later generations, allowing people to appreciate the historical style of Suzhou City from this picture.

Zhao Mengqi fell into the pictures and texts, and was enjoyed by the viewing, as if he had completely forgotten his purpose.

Outside the hall, Xie Tang and others chose a remote place to gather together to discuss countermeasures urgently. Wu Qian ignored it, as if he had no interest in the content of their negotiations, and only talked about the school with the professors of the prefecture.

The gentry were all frightened by Zhao Mengqi, and their eyes drifted towards the Dacheng Palace from time to time, and their expressions were full of fear and worry.

"Cang Magistrate, how should we deal with it? King Yan doesn't seem to be compromising." Lu Wencai said uneasy.

Xie Tang glanced at him, "What are you afraid of? No one will touch your Lu family when King Yan moves. Besides, do you think he really dares to do things randomly? I think he is just intimidating us. If you really have this idea, why bother to say it? He is like this now, obviously he still wants to talk to us."

Xu Xueqian echoed with a stern face, "Cangmao is right. If he dares to commit a forced robbery, the scholars and people in the world will not tolerate him. He will definitely hold up the righteous flag and fight against him together!"

An old gentry hesitated and said, "The King of Yan is the crown prince after all, and he is young and energetic. According to my opinion, we should not force too much later. It is not a big deal to make concessions. All things are important."

After saying this, many gentry nodded in agreement and said that they could have a good talk with the King of Yan and give up some interests appropriately, so as not to force the King of Yan to become anxious.

With many different opinions, Xie Tang's face changed, and finally he could only sigh, "Okay, since everyone is what they mean, then do it like this..."

After continuing to discuss some details, Xie Tang led everyone into the Dacheng Hall.

Zhao Mengqi was studying Pingjiang map. He turned around when he heard footsteps and looked at Xie Tang and others, "Have you thought about it?"

Xie Tang bowed, "Your Highness, there are no idle people here, so I open the skylight and say something bright."

Zhao Mengqi glanced at the portrait of Confucius and said meaningfully, "There is really no idle people. Tell me, how can you release the food affordable?"

"I have not sought much, but I just asked Your Highness to stop the sutra and maintain the status quo. For this reason, I am willing to pay a fixed tax every year. For example, Pingjiang Prefecture has two million guan a year and Jiaxing Prefecture has 1.6 million guan a year. This tax has nothing to do with policy taxes, but is collected by the gentry of the two governments and paid uniformly."

This means that the court just wants money, so don’t worry about how much land we have. We just pay a sum of money every year. As for how to share it, we don’t have to worry about the court. Generally speaking, it’s a bit like the Mongolian tax system.

Zhao Mengqi said lightly, "What else?"

"I will open up selling grain to ensure that the price of grain is absolutely not higher than Sanguan."

In the eyes of Xie Tang and others, this is definitely a big concession. After all, they spent more than 50 million yuan to buy grain, and they don’t expect to make money now, but at least they have to pay a balance sheet, and the price of grain has only doubled compared to usual, which is normal during famine seasons.

"Three Guan?" Zhao Mengqi raised his eyelids, as if he was dissatisfied.

Xie Tang thought for a while, "If Your Highness needs food, I will sell it to Your Highness for two and a half chunks, so that Your Highness can make up for the vacancy."

This is to imply that King Yan and others know where the food he sold comes from. Now he is willing to sell it back to him at half price, just to help him plug the leak. As for the difference made by King Yan, it is regarded as the filial piety of people like him.

Zhao Mengqi smiled, serious, as if he was happy.

The gentry all secretly breathed a sigh of relief and finally passed this level.

Although it hurts them all by giving up so much benefits, it is worth it to be able to give up the small and protect the big ones.

But King Yan smiled, but his expression became strange. He slowly glanced at the gentry and ridiculed, "I have some sincerity, but not much."

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Xie Tang's heart sank, his tone was a little stiff. "I understand the difficulties of the court and have made great sacrifices. Please understand me, and I would like to understand me, and I would like to do it."

Zhao Mengqi raised his eyebrows and straightened his back, "When you talk about your own demands, you will give you another chance to talk about your request."

Xie Tang had a vaginal face, "Please say that, Your Highness."

"There is no change in the affairs of the scriptures, and there is no bargaining! Gu suggests that you should take the initiative to report hidden land consciously. Gu may also give you some corresponding compensation."

"As for food, in fact, whether you sell it or not, I don't care much about it, and I don't need to buy grain from you to make up for any loopholes. However, from today, Pingjiang and Jiaxing governments will pilot new tax laws and regulations. Simply put, if the price of rice does not exceed 20% and 10% will be taxable. If it exceeds 20% and 10% will be taxable. If it exceeds 20% and 10% will be taxable. If it exceeds 20% and 10% will be taxable. If it is sold, 30% will be taxable. There is no cap on the top. Everyone is welcome to sell grain at a high price." bΙQμGètν.còM

After hearing this, the gentry were all stunned.

Where did this King of Yan get the confidence to make such a request!?

Things in the scriptures are the same as before, but there is an inexplicable corresponding compensation, which does not sound reliable.

What can be supplemented? Are there some valuable ranks of officials?

The so-called Changping Tax is even more outrageous. I have never seen such a tax rate set since ancient times.

Then, Zhao Mengqi said, "Of course, you should make the decision on your own food. If you think it is not cost-effective, you can not sell it and keep it for your own family to eat. The court will not control it, but don't think about doing it for other purposes. For example, making wine and feeding pigs and paying wages, all of these must be converted into transaction volume, and more than two cents of taxes will be paid!"

My mother is so happy. I collect hundreds of thousands of stones of grain a year. How could I not sell it for money? I can’t finish it even after eating it for tens of thousands of years!

In other words, compared with agricultural tax, it is much easier to collect commercial tax. After all, you don’t have to go to the countryside to collect debts. The shops are all in towns and transportation has to pass through the pass.

What's even more dangerous is that the move of King Yan shows that he is likely to attack the commercial tax, and the losses caused to the gentry are not comparable to the harvest in the fields.

"Your Highness King Yan, are you not planning to give us a way out??" Xie Tang gritted his teeth.

Zhao Mengqi said in surprise, "Where did you start? Why didn't I give you a way out? I heard that you have 15 million stones of food in your hands. Even if you eat thirty meals a day, it's enough for you to eat until you're old. What's wrong, can you all live longer than a turtle?"

Xie Tang tried his best to suppress his anger, "Your Highness, I negotiated with you with sincerity, but you regarded this as a joke. Since you think it doesn't matter whether you sell or not, then you will just be rotten in the warehouse and poured into the river. Anyway, I will not be short of food and clothing. However, the people of these two palaces will not be able to survive for two months. Then the starvation will be everywhere. I don't know if you can afford it. The King of Yan is still unable to eat enough. The war is everywhere. I wonder how you can solve it. Lin'an Prefecture lacks millions of stones of grain and famine. Will the government and the court spare you!?"

After an endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed.

He breathed fresh air in his mouth, and his chest trembled.

Confused and puzzled, all kinds of emotions surged into my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously observed the surroundings and became even more confused.

A single dormitory?

Even if he successfully received rescue, he should be in the ward now.

And his own body...how could he be injured at all?

With doubt, Shi Yu's gaze swept through the room quickly, and finally his eyes stopped on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror shows his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looks very handsome.

But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Xingxing Reading app and read the latest chapter content for free without ads

Before, I was a handsome young man in his twenties who was extraordinary and handsome. I have been working for a while.

Now, no matter how you look at this, you are just the age of a high school student...

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation is successful...

My body and appearance have changed. This is not a problem of not having surgery or not, but a magic trick.

He has become another person completely!

Could it be... that I have traveled through time by myself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed with obvious feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to him.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it. The title of the book instantly made him silent.

"Beast Breeding Manual for Being a Newbie Breeder"

"Pet postpartum care"

"A Guide to Evaluation of the Different Race Beast Ear Girl"

Shi Yu:???

The names of the first two books are normal, what happened to you in the last book?

"cough."

Shi Yu's eyes sterned and he stretched out his hand, but his arms quickly froze.

Just as he wanted to open the third book and see what it was, his brain suddenly stinged, and a large number of memories emerged like a tide.

Iceland City.

Pet animal feeding base.
