"I ate two bowls of rice at noon today. I was so full that not a single grain of rice was wasted.”
In the video, the little boy said proudly.
"What about you…"
The microphone appeared in front of another primary school student.
"Three bowls!"
"Two bowls!"
"One bowl!"
On the screen, all the primary school students were curious and proudly reported the amount of rice they had eaten for lunch that day.
"Then do you know who made you full?”
"I know!"
"Grandpa Yuan!"
"Grandpa Yuan!"
The students scrambled to answer proudly.
"Can you recite a poem about saving food?”
"Yes!"
"Hoeing the crops at noon, sweat dripping into the soil, who knew that every grain of food on the plate was hard work.”
An even louder and orderly recitation sounded.
This was a real-time picture taken by a reporter from the Heavenly Examination Hall in an ordinary rural primary school in this country.
Ding ding…
After the holidays, these primary school students did not go out to play. Instead, they ran to the fields to help their families harvest rice.
The narration sounded and the camera zoomed in.
What appeared was the scene of the primary school students scattering after school. This school was located in the middle of the terraced fields surrounded by golden rice.
Under the lead of the reporters, these primary school students who had just finished school happily recited the "Compassionate Farmer" and ran to their terraced fields to help their families harvest the rice.
Under the camera, the ears were full and the grains were visible, bending the rice seedlings.
"What a good picture of students helping farmers with the autumn harvest!”
"What a full harvest. This year, the farmers of this country should be able to have a good New Year!”
When this scene appeared, especially when the golden rice appeared, it immediately caused the emperors to exclaim in admiration, especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born into the lower class. When he saw the golden rice, he couldn't help but gulp.
"A school in the countryside…"
"So many children of the right age can go to school? You even know how to recite poems?"
Liu Bowen, Li Shan Chang, and the others frowned when they saw so many children in that school. They felt that this situation was not simple because there were girls among the students.
However, they did not ask and continued to watch.
Do you know that starting from January next year, you don't have to hand over any public grain anymore? The country has decided to completely exempt you from taxes.
Haha! Of course, he knew! It was on TV
The farmer who was smoking and stepping on the rice harvesting machine immediately revealed a simple smile.
In fact, we didn't have to turn it in last year.
The 2000 catties of rice harvested from my family's three acres of land all belong to my family…I can't even finish them all in my family's warehouse.
This year's new rice harvest was finished! I'm prepared to sell all the old rice from last year! The old rice was not delicious at all…
"Also, I don't plan to plant so much food next year. It's a waste…I'm also planning to plant some cash crops, such as peppers and cucumbers…
The interview continued, but the simple words of the farmer in the video suddenly struck the hearts of all the emperors.
"What?"
"What did the farmer say? He harvested two thousand catties of rice from three mu of land?”
"He still wants to sell rice! If we don't plant so much food, the farmers will actually complain that they have too much food…"
At this moment, the Emperor was shocked, and all the commoners in the world were shocked. Some of the civil officials with a keen sense of smell even dug out something even more interesting from this short conversation.
For example, two thousand catties of rice in three mu of land.
What kind of concept was this!
One had to know that during the feudal era, one mu of land could produce three to four hundred to five hundred catties of rice, which was already the highest.
The farmers in this country could earn 2000 catties per mu of land…It was a tenfold increase.
How much grain did they collect last year?
In reply to the minister, the country had collected more than 1.5 billion catties of grain, which was worth 1.5 billion yuan.
While everyone was still in shock, the scene quietly changed.
A tax officer appeared.
However, when this scene appeared, it shocked the emperors in the entire Heavenly Examination Hall again and they sucked in a breath of cold air.
1.5 billion catties of grain?
What kind of concept was that!
It seemed that in terms of the concept they were familiar with, a year's grain tax was 10 million dan.
"My salary seems to be eighty-seven dans per month…Then, ten million dans can support more than a million families like mine?”
Liu Bowen quickly calculated his salary and the figure he got shocked him even more.
One had to know that he was a first-grade official!
The country's annual grain tax could support a million families like them for a month. It was too exaggerated.
What about our tax collection costs?
The cost of tax collection had already reached 3 billion…The agricultural tax collected was not even enough to pay the monthly salary of the tax collectors.
Hehe…Yes, there's no need to spend too much on this.
The video was very short. It was a simple calculation video.
However, the information that was revealed made the rulers of the various dynasties feel that they had heard wrongly.
"What is it? The cost of collecting taxes was already twice as high as the cost of collecting grain…How was this possible?”
Zhangsun Wuji cried out in surprise.
There was a certain cost to collecting taxes.
The losses incurred by the tax officials in the grain collection work were counted in the entire national tax system.
The short conversation in the image revealed something shocking.
That was, if he sent someone to collect one catty of grain from the people, the tax collector would have to consume two catty of grain instead. The entire tax collection would be wasted.
If this continued, the various mechanisms would not be able to operate at all.
This station's news…has been decided based on…: Starting from January 1st next year, the entire country would completely abolish the XX tax and the agricultural tax. This meant that this traditional tax that had been followed for 2,000 years would completely end.
The farmers no longer had to pay taxes to the country…
The emergence of this move signified that…industry was feeding agriculture!
At the same time, he should thank someone! "Under his research, our rice production has increased continuously…From the previous 500 to 600 catties, it has increased to 800 to 900 catties per mu, and even 1000 catties…
At the same time, we should also apologize to this group of adorable people. You have worked hard for the past 2,000 years!
Thank you for supporting the entire country in the most difficult time.
When this ultimate scene appeared, all the emperors in the Heavenly Examination Hall exploded.
" What?!"
"This country has really put an end to this tax!”
"Impossible…Impossible! The farmers were exempted from taxes! What do people eat here? What does the army use?"
Kang Xi was shocked.
Qianlong was shocked.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gripped the dragon throne tightly and stared at the scene in the video. He could not imagine that such a situation would really happen.
"It completely ends the traditional tax system that has lasted for more than two thousand years on this land!”
The First Emperor's heart skipped a beat as he understood the meaning behind those simple words!
At the same time, everyone doesn't have to worry... The mechanized grain produced by the National Grain Corporation every year has already exceeded 800 billion catties...
The National Grain Corporation was…
Then, as if he knew what the emperors were worried about, the video continued to introduce them. Then, in the images, they saw that the farmers really did not have to pay grain anymore.
He also knew why the country could still operate normally after the farmers were exempted from taxes. It was entirely because of hybrid rice... and the National Grain Corporation.
"Humph! See? This is the reason why I set up a state-owned enterprise! The land was nationalized! Using the power of the country to produce food in a scientific manner is much better than you guys fighting on a small scale! I've long seen through it. Heh, I won't say it!”
Seeing this, the only one who was not shocked was Wang Mang. Instead, he clamored to educate the civil and military officials in the court,
"Your Majesty, you…"
All the officials of the new dynasty were stunned when they saw this.
From the collective hatred just now to the heartfelt admiration at this moment, their blockheads had completely crashed.
"Mixed rice?"
In Northern Wei, Jia Sixie looked at the rice in the fields, then looked at the old man in the video and fell into deep thought.
