The two horsemen rushed into Zhuozhou City and went directly to the state capital.
After a while, there was a shout from the state capital: "Long live Your Majesty!"
” Soon a servant came out to put up a notice.
Everyone couldn't help but rush over when they saw his jubilant appearance.
Due to the tight schedule, I didn't go to make the paste.
The little clerk didn't know where to get the fresh rice, so he just posted the notice.
After posting the notice, he turned around and rubbed the rice grains on his hands, and said happily: "Your Majesty's will, this year, the grain tax in all parts of the Ming Dynasty will be reduced by one percent!"
Ichisei!
” The people who came around were originally here to go shopping, most of them dragged their children with their daughters, and some brought their daughters-in-law.
Even Fang Hongzhong took Zhuzhu to go shopping.
At this moment, their ancestors and grandchildren were standing in front, Fang Hongzhong's eyes were not very good, and he couldn't see clearly by the light.
Fang Xing likes Zhuzhu, so before leaving Zhuozhou last time, he suggested that Zhuzhu also learn to read.
Although Fang Hongzhong was old-fashioned, he also knew that Fang Xing had good intentions, so he personally enlightened his granddaughter.
After Zhuzhu was often taken to Beiping, he studied with Wuwu, not to mention literacy, and his knowledge has thrown off the daughters of those officials in the city.
Zhuzhu looked at the notice and said, "Grandfather, it is said that the grain tax in Xuande will be reduced by one percent for five years!"
Those who are disobedient must be arrested, and everyone must know about it. ” Fang Hongzhong was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "The whole Daming?
In these peaceful years, there is no famine and no disaster, which dynasty and which generation will reduce taxes?
” "Is it really one percent?"
A man asked, hugging his daughter, and the people around him looked excited, but apprehensive.
Food tax exemption is available for all generations and years, but most of the reasons are famine.
But in the past two years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and there has been a bumper harvest every year.
The emperor in the palace didn't have any great joy, why did he send down this will?
As soon as the little official's face darkened, he glared at the man who asked him, and when he saw that the little girl was frightened by himself, he put away his anger and said with a straight face: "The document that just came has only arrived in Zhuozhou now, and I want to spread it all over the north in a few days."
Yes, the levy will be reduced by one percent, and as for the sake of what you said, it is also said in this will, and there will be a bumper harvest next year......
By the way, you still have to read His Majesty's words, forget and forget, you wait!
” The people waited reverently, and all of them looked joyful.
When the official came out again, he had a piece of paper in his hand.
He walked out of the door with the paper in his hand very respectfully, stood on the stone, first cleared his throat with a dry cough according to the rules of the Great Imperial Council, and then began to read the Emperor's words.
"Emperor Wen told me back then that the people are not water, and the emperor is not a boat."
Belch!
Fang Hongzhong felt that something was wrong as soon as he heard the beginning, and the relationship between this water and the boat had long been known to women and children, so some people behind him were muttering.
"The people are the land, and the emperor and the officials are the planters."
"The sun rises and the sun sets, and the reverence of the land that gives us food, this is what emperors and officials should do."
Hearing this, the people who understood were a little shocked.
What is this parable that the people are the land, and the king and the rulers should fear the land?
This one......
Fang Hongzhong felt that if these words came out of the mouths of others, they would be refuted on the spot.
But these are the words of the emperor!
The little official was probably also a little shocked, paused here, and then looked at the people who were listening with some trepidation, and continued to recite.
"The planter must be careful not to trample on the land, not to fish with all his might, or the land rich in grain will crack into a great crevice that will melt all things in the world......
Oh!
There was a sudden commotion below.
Fang Hongzhong was a little uneasy, he felt that this proposal lifted the people too high.
"This means that we must cherish the people's strength, love the people, and not abuse the people, otherwise sooner or later we will be unlucky and suffer the consequences!"
Someone below was actually explaining, Fang Hongzhong turned around and glanced at it, and remembered in a trance that the person was studying science.

He looked at the people in a trance.
He saw faces of astonishment and joy, and the consternation was gradually dissipating.
He saw an old man grinning loudly, with only a few thin yellow teeth in his mouth, looking ugly.
But the joy seemed to pour out from all over the body, and people couldn't help but be infected and became happy.
"It's cold, it's the New Year, can they dress warmly?
Can children eat caramel candy?
Can the woman in the family go and make a new dress?
There are so many things that I can't sleep at night when I think about them. ” "This is Your Majesty worrying about us, worrying about whether we can dress warmly and whether the children can afford to eat sugar......
His Majesty thought about this, and couldn't sleep at night. ” The voice was explaining in the vernacular, and gradually more and more people were spreading the explanations.
But the emperor's words are actually no different from the big vernacular, and most of the people present can understand it.
Fang Hongzhong saw tears slipping down the old man's eyes, and then suddenly knelt down and shouted, "Long live Your Majesty!"
” The people did not hesitate, but they all knelt down.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
The little official was frightened, so he wanted to kneel, but just when his knees were bent, Shangguan's voice came from behind him: "Stand firm, finish reading." ” The little official cheered up and continued to read: "I am deeply uneasy that the people of the world will come to support me, so I always remember the suffering of the people. ” This is still the vernacular.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
The people shouted in unison.
The little official's body trembled, blinked his eyes, and read: "I have been thinking about it for a long time, and when I got up in the early hours of this morning, I suddenly felt that those thoughts were hypocritical prevarication, so I decided to Xuande for five years, and the world would reduce the grain tax by one percent!"
” He finished reading, but the people below did not move.
He gave him a blank look, then was shocked and trembled.
Those fanaticism!
Countless faces were fanatical, with tears in their eyes, and then cheers came as scheduled.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
It's not a celebration of merit, it's a cheer.
The cheers exploded from the front of the state office, and then quickly spread.
After the entire Zhuozhou City learned the news, the cheers continued to sound.
The gentry of Zhuozhou were also secretly resentful of the emperor who ordered the liquidation of the privileges of his own group, and to put it mildly, there were many people who cursed the emperor for his early death behind their backs.
But at this moment, they could only listen to these cheers in amazement, and watch those ecstasy.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
A child didn't know why he was shouting hooray, but when he saw that the adults were all shouting in fascination, he followed suit.
He ran past a group of scholars before being grabbed by a man.
"Daddy!"
The man grabbed him and said happily, "Let's go, buy meat." ” When the child heard this, he was happy and shouted, "Dad, buy candy." ” "Okay, I'll buy you candy!"
Fang Hongjian also saw this scene, Zhuzhu raised his head and asked, "Grandfather, just now I said that I only gave the benefits of farming, what are those merchants happy about?"
” Fang Hong gradually said in a complicated mood: "Farmers will spend money when they have extra money, and they are willing to buy some meat, tear a few feet of cloth, and dare to go to the restaurant a few times if they don't get it, and the businessmen will be able to make more money!"
” "Grandfather, what is the government happy about?"
"Official?
When the merchants' business is good, the government will collect more taxes, and when the time comes, they will be praised by the above, so they will definitely be happy!
” …… See Ming Pao is coming.
As a newspaper, it even released the latest news in Jinan Mansion before Di Bao.
"Ichisei?"
No one was interested in those articles, all eyes were on the emperor's speech.
"Your Majesty said it, and it was the same thing."
A science kid was screaming hoarsely.
"Emperor Wen told me back then that the people were not water ......"
The faces grew red, then rejoiced, and then raised their arms and shouted.

"Long live Your Majesty!"
The cheers echoed everywhere in this city of springs, and the cheers on the shore of Daming Lake also reached the painting boat, and the merchants and 'talents' who came to have fun and did not stop during the Chinese New Year all poked their heads out and listened carefully.
The water of Daming Lake rippled slightly, and the clean water of the lake carried several painting boats to the depths.
"It's like ......"
A merchant frowned and listened, "It seems to be saying something......
One percent?
” At this time, a shout came from another ship: "It's a waiver of 10% of the grain tax!"
” It was the painting boat of the 'geniuses', but when the merchants heard it, their eyes lit up, and some people shouted to that side: "Brother, where is it?"
But are we in Jinan Mansion?
” No one answered, and the silence gradually fell.
"Dock, dock!"
The boat in which the merchants were sitting immediately began to turn around.
Those prostitutes were about to show their skills to make these high-rollers take out their wallets willingly, but they didn't expect such a show, so their faces turned white without Fu powder.
Before he reached the shore, someone heard the news, he got up and walked to the bow of the boat, then turned around, and said in a dashing manner: "Everyone, good news!
” "Speak!"
The merchants couldn't hold back, so they scolded and let him speak.
"It's not our Jinan Mansion!"
"Hey!"
After a sigh, the merchant felt that the prank had succeeded, so he said proudly: "It's the whole Daming!"
” "What?"
There are wealthy merchants here who sell goods to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, and when they heard this, they jumped up and shouted: "Come to the shore!"
Lao Tzu is about to ask someone to buy goods, and he is going to make a fortune this year!
” "Yes, hurry!"
There were cheers here, but the two painting boats that were still in the center of the lake were quiet, like mourning.
