Chapter 746

When Baoyin was in Mengge, it was stipulated that each household would collect four taels of silver, of which two taels were levied, and two taels were levied to collect silk and other items. By the time of Kublai Khan, each household would receive four taels of silver and four taels of silver. Since the price of banknotes and silver was levied in half, it was actually reduced by half. The salary also began at this time, and each household would collect one tael of banknotes and used as the salary of officials.

The tax system in the south followed the two tax laws of the Southern Song Dynasty, and was divided into two summer and autumn collections according to land acres. The autumn tax was levied, and the summer tax was levied with kapok, cloth, silk, silk, cotton and other items. There were also traits in the south, which were divided into household bills and silver. House bills were equivalent to five households in the north. Kublai Khan stipulated that hundreds of ingots were collected from ten thousand households in the land rent. Each household was levied with two taels of silver and was charged to ten cents of Yuan bills. The total amount of taxes in the Yuan Dynasty was more than 12 million stones per year, most of which came from the south.

In addition to the above taxes, the Yuan court also had many heavy taxes. They made various names to blackmail and added them to the people from time to time, mainly horses, horses, and hiring. The so-called "horse" means to force horses from the people at no cost. The so-called "horse" means to buy private materials from the people, or send them to private projects without giving them prices, or give very little price. It is called "hebuy", but in fact it is forced to force it. "hebuy" means to hire private vehicles to engage in transportation, while the price is less than 100 yuan, which is called "hebuy", which is actually equivalent to levying corvee.

In addition, the Yuan court also had heavy labor service and service, which divided the population into private households, station households, craft households, metallurgical households, arrest households, salt households, kiln households, etc., called "all-color households" to make them work as their own service. Ordinary households had to bear the labor service such as opening rivers, building embankments, transporting, and building cities. They were confiscated from time to time and had almost no rest day. Other households had to bear a special service service and would have to bear it for generations and never be liberated. The heavy and harsh labor service and service were caused to the farmers' bankruptcy and fleeing, but they were imposed on others.

It was midnight when the drums rang out, Zhao Bing finished the conversation and ordered Zheng Huchen to place Zhou Mi for a long life first, and report to the Ministry of Personnel to restore his official title tomorrow and then apply for it. He finally got a clear idea in his heart. After studying the picture albums and notes he brought before going to bed. He thought that he had accidentally become Zhou Mi's first reader...

The next morning, Zhao Bing got up a little late. After he finished breakfast, Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie and the ministers of his escort had been waiting in the hall for a long time. After a few greetings with the ministers, he turned to the topic.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have sent officials to the recaptured states and counties to comfort the people. Please ask Your Majesty to review the official list of officials!" Lu Xiufu went out first and sent it to the list.

"Yeah, it's not bad!" Zhao Bing flipped through the list and placed it on the side.

"Your Majesty, a total of 500,000 stones of grain, more than 20,000 pieces of silk and silk were confiscated, and 200,000 hectares of land were confiscated. Please decide how to distribute it!" Yao Liangchen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also delivered a memorial to express his words.

"Your Majesty, I have been ordered to recruit Shaoxing. I have now used the granaries to make 30,000 sets of winter clothes, 20,000 sets of single clothes, and 20,000 pairs of boots and shoes. The amount is less than a month!" Ma Tingluan replied.

"The weather gets colder, and it is necessary to speed up the preparation of winter clothes. The seized silk is given priority to supply military supplies. The finished silk will be allocated to Huguang first. They have difficulty raising materials there, which is even colder than Jiangdong." Zhao Bing nodded. He was very satisfied with Ma Tingluan's ability to complete such a huge number of tasks within more than ten days, and gave instructions.

"Your Majesty, the silk and silk collected are all high-quality items. It's a pity to make military uniforms. It should be sent back to Qiongzhou for supply to the inner palace. I'll wait for the Queen Mother to use it!" Yao Liangchen said anxiously after hearing this.

"Regaining homeland, military first. All the materials raised must be used first for military purposes. The soldiers in front of us fought bloody battles. Do we still want them to starve and freeze? And I am wearing enough clothes. What's the use of these things? The Queen Mother is even more wise and will not agree!" Zhao Bing said with a calm face.

"I know my mistake!" Yao Liangchen kindly touched a soft nail and said embarrassedly.

"This battle has just begun. In addition to money and food, various materials have also been consumed. The Ministry of Revenue has a heavy responsibility and must not be ignored!" Zhao Bing said.

"I will follow the sage orders and will do my best!" Yao Liangchen said politely.

"Well, when will the prison be here?" Zhao Bing waved his hand and asked him to retreat, and asked again.

"Report to Your Majesty, you will serve as a supervisor, bringing the required equipment and supplies, and 10,000 people have loaded the ship ten days ago. The officials and some of the materials sent by the dynasty will be escorted by Zhang Zizhen's troops. It will be here in the near future!" Zhang Shijie reported in a row.

"Okay, the guards fought hard one after another, and there was not much ammunition left. If they were not replenished, it would affect the battle to conquer Lin'an!" Zhao Bing breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Left Prime Minister, what's going on with surrender?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I have sent an envoy to the city for negotiations. The enemy Daluhuachi Suobashi of Hangzhou Prefecture was not seen, and only sent Zheng You, the marching and control army of Wanhu Prefecture in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, to discuss. Although he was intentional, he refused to agree. He just said that Suobashi had to agree. He would discuss it again after reporting, but he had not seen him for several days." Lu Xiufu reported.

"Hmph, it is deliberately delaying the time, thinking of sticking to the waiting for assistance, so the negotiations are afraid that we will be unable to succeed, and we still need to be on the fight!" Zhao Bing snorted coldly after hearing this.

"I obey the order, and Your Majesty immediately ordered them to terminate the negotiations." Lu Xiufu politely said.

"Hey, don't rush to withdraw. Since they think they are snakes, they will just do it perfunctorily. Although Lin'an City has empty troops, the city is profound and has the power to fight. We still need to supplement military funds and prepare for siege equipment. Even if the surrender cannot be achieved, it's better to stabilize them, so as not to be in a hurry to destroy Lin'an City." Zhao Bing waved his hand and explained to him.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, I understand!" Lu Xiufu said. At this time, he also realized that Lin'an is the old capital, and it will still be the emperor's residence and the imperial court. If the Tartars are really forced to make them anxious, they will burn them all, and a fire will ignite Lin'an City. The prosperity of a hundred years will be destroyed, and the little emperor and the imperial court will not even have a nest.
