"What did it say?"
"His Highness said that in order to benefit the people and improve their living standards, the previous head tax will be changed to household registration tax!”
" What do you mean?!"
"That's why I told you to study more, send your children to school, and hide at home to work. In the future, you'll be like you, illiterate and embarrassing!”
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Of course it's good to study, but what about taxes?" The man said angrily. Naturally, he would wait until his standard of living improved! What does it mean?"
"In the past, everyone had to pay taxes, but now, a family only has to pay taxes. It doesn't matter if you have ten children or one or two!”
"Fuck!"
" Really?!"
"Is this the household registration tax?"
"Your Highness is wise and mighty! Your Highness is incomparably benevolent!"
"I'm going back to give birth now!"
"Wait, I'm not done yet!"
Next, the minor official told him everything on the notice.
When it came to the marriage law, the expressions of the commoners changed drastically. Many families who were already engaged complained endlessly.
When it was said that a woman would need a year to give birth after confinement, no one changed much. The status of Han women was still very high.
It was only after the education law was passed that children would be required to undergo 15 years of compulsory education that this group of people completely went into an uproar!
"Then what about my family's fields?"
"15 years of compulsory education, from 6 to 21 years old. My god, my child has been farming since he was 12 years old!”
"You're such a bad father. My family only let him work when he was 15 years old.”
"Your family is rich, but my family is poor!"
"What about the taxes? Even if it's changed to household registration tax, I haven't given birth yet.! How are we going to spend the next few years?"
"Sigh, looks like I still have to send the child to school in the end. Fortunately, food and accommodation are included!”
Hearing these people complain incessantly, the minor official said in a bad mood,
"Don't f * cking cry for your parents here. After His Highness modified the Quyuan Plow, he now only needs one ox and one person to work, and the efficiency has increased by more than fifty percent compared to before.”
The commoners smiled awkwardly. That was indeed the case.
However, this year's grain production had tripled. Wasn't this greed driving them?!
"His Highness persuaded you nicely to send your children to school. No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education. No matter how hard you are, you can't make your children suffer.”
That minor official began to earnestly educate him. These words were all imparted from Liu Chen.
These commoners were extremely embarrassed. In the past, it went in one ear and out the other. But now, they couldn't. If they didn't study, they would be fined!
Liu Chen, who was in the carriage, shook his head and laughed.
However, he believed that after these decrees, the number of students in the school would increase greatly. Perhaps the future population would also suddenly explode.
"We need to get Hua Tuo and the others to recruit female students and open a gynecology department…"
Liu Chen was thinking about the next arrangements in the carriage. However, after thinking for a while, Liu Chen came back to his senses and lowered his head to look at the bumpy carriage.
" Looks like I need to consider the shock absorbing device of the carriage. I can also consider building a few cement roads in the future. This is too bumpy…"
Without absolute strength in the early stages, Liu Chen didn't want to think about these livelihood issues. Now, he had some thoughts.
This kind of daydream did not last long before Liu Chen was blocked in the middle of the market. It was noisy in front of him, and there were even small officials and constables carrying out their errands.
"What happened up ahead?”Liu Chen asked curiously.
A guard approached and said,
"Your Highness, there is a man named Guo Jia who has been eating and dash in a brothel for many days. He no longer has the money to pay for the prostitutes.”
“……”
Liu Chen was completely speechless. There were all kinds of people." Eh, wait…What did you say the man's name was?”
"Guo Jia, calling himself Young Master Guo." The guard explained.
"Guo Fengxiao wouldn't be so tasteless, right?”
Liu Chen immediately got off the carriage. When he appeared, the surrounding commoners and officials immediately woke up. They all bowed and shouted in unison,"Prince Chang Shan!"
In the center of the chaos, a man in green was detained by the constables. It was the young man that Liu Chen had seen when he was working on the case.
"It's him."
Liu Chen was a little surprised and quickly threw a scouting skill over.
Name: Guo Jia
[Attribute: Strength: 15][Commander: Intelligence: 98, Political: 85, Charm: 78
[Evaluation: Super first-rate intelligence, second-rate internal affairs]
……
"It really is Guo Jia!"
The corner of Liu Chen's mouth twitched. His impression of Guo Jia was greatly reduced. He suddenly remembered Guo Jia's historical review: No punishment.
However, a man's lustful and heroic nature was also a romantic affair. However, Liu Chen didn't know what to say since he didn't have the money to pay for the prostitutes.
"Everyone, get up. What happened?”Liu Chen waved his hand and said.
After everyone bowed, a minor official immediately went forward to explain. It was exactly as the guard had said.
Guo Jia looked at Liu Chen in surprise. His eyes darted around. His intuition told him that there seemed to be hope!
However, before Guo Jia could think of a countermeasure, Liu Chen's voice sounded first.
Liu Chen thought for a moment and said,"Help him pay the debt."”
"Yes."
The personal guard immediately stepped forward. The manager of the brothel did not dare to accept it, but in the end, he still accepted it under Liu Chen's words.
The guards escorted Guo Jia to the window of the carriage. Guo Jia bowed and said,"Thank you for your help, Your Highness. Guo Jia will never forget this kindness!”
"I don't need you to remember. I'll treat this debt as you selling yourself to me. When you pay it off, you can leave.”Liu Chen said indifferently.
"What?!" Guo Jia exclaimed in surprise. Sell yourself?"
"Send him to Magistrate Ju and let him take good care of him.”Liu Chen waved his hand and said.
"Ah? Your Highness, wait…"
Guo Jia still wanted to say something, but he was directly dragged away by the guards. He was still a little dumbfounded. Liu Chen was not playing by the rules!
To be honest, the surrounding commoners and officials did not understand why Liu Chen would save a young man who was just drinking, whoring, and gambling.
However, Liu Chen's prestige made everyone stop thinking about it.
His Highness definitely had his own profound meaning. How could they understand such great wisdom and great thoughts?!
Liu Chen had no choice!
It was not good to meet Guo Jia anywhere, but he had no money to pay for the prostitution fees. Could he continue to talk to her?!
He, the King of Chang Shan, also wanted to save face!
"I hope that Ju Shou can be properly disciplined for a period of time. When the time comes, this king will personally summon him.”
Liu Chen was somewhat satisfied. After all, the genius Guo Jia was a top strategist.
Liu Chen was not afraid that Guo Jia would run away. How could he run away if he owed him money? What a joke!
This interlude wasted 25 minutes. Liu Chen and the other soldiers set off again to the barracks to change the horseshoes and stirrels.
