"Gou-hu-gou-hu-"
After a while.
Yan Jiaoran heard a thunderous snoring sound in her ears.
Qin Yuan, that bastard, fell asleep again.
As the snoring rose and fell, Yan Jiaoran unknowingly felt a little sleepy.
She immediately shook her head and regained some clarity.
Now is not the time to sleep!
Although Murong Yanran’s problem has been resolved, it’s not time to go to bed yet!
The opportunity to exchange is rare, so it’s time to get down to business.
Listen to the class!
Thinking of this, Yan Jiaoran reached out and pushed Qin Yuan's shoulder again.
“Hmm…”
Qin Yuan said dazedly: "Madam...what's wrong? What happened?"
Yan Jiaoran: "Lecture!"
"Teach... teach..." Qin Yuan's voice was a little unclear, "What to teach..."
Yan Jiaoran was a little annoyed and said angrily: "I didn't finish the lesson last time!"
"We've just started talking about the burden of paying taxes on the land!"
"Ah..." Qin Yuan was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. He yawned loudly: "This..."
"My dear, I am really sleepy. I will tell you tomorrow..."
"I will definitely explain it to you..."
"Tomorrow, I'm going to sleep first..."
tomorrow?
This won’t work!
First of all, she couldn't hear.
Secondly, if the two of them review the game tomorrow, won’t everything be exposed?
We can't let this bastard sleep peacefully!
Yan Jiaoran bit Qin Yuan's earlobe and said coquettishly, "Husband—just tell me about it."
Qin Yuan was unmoved and said reluctantly, "Next time, definitely, next time!"
Yan Jiaoran couldn't wait any longer, so she immediately pulled Qin Yuan's ear and said angrily, "Are you going to tell me or not?"
"If you don't tell me, I'll be angry. I'll ignore you for three days, uh no, a month!"
"You decide for yourself!"
"Tell me, tell me!" Qin Yuan was helpless and compromised, "Isn't it okay for your husband to tell you, my wife?"
"My lady, please don't be angry."
After saying that.
Qin Yuan resisted the urge to sleep, sat up, and slapped his face a few times.
Damn it, what's wrong with my wife lately?
It seems like you always like to attend classes in the middle of the night?
And there is also a certain regularity in the time intervals.
What's going on?
Qin Yuan was confused and full of doubts.
Listening to Qin Yuan's words, Yan Jiaoran was naturally overjoyed.
This bastard man really dotes on his wife.
Listen to the class!
"Where were we last time?" Qin Yuan was still a little listless and yawned continuously.
Yan Jiaoran looked at Qin Yuan, who was leaning against the headboard, and replied, "Speaking of 'sharing labor service on the land', it means designing a new land tax system to solve the problem of corvee labor."
"There are still issues of food, cattle and seeds that need to be resolved."
In order to go to bed early, Qin Yuan stopped talking too much and kept the audience in suspense, and went straight to the point.
"Then let's move on to the second point, which is the 'food issue'."
"The problem isn't the food itself, but the problem arises when collecting it."
"I imagine you're familiar with tactics like the fire dragon burning the granary, the large measuring cup in and the small measuring cup out, and the practice of pouring grain into the measuring cup and kicking it. (When paying grain, you pour the grain into the measuring cup to check its quality. The measuring cup is filled to a point, forming a cone. When the official kicks the measuring cup, the grain spilling out of the cone is considered 'loss'.)"
"In short, it can be summed up in one sentence: every policy has its own countermeasures...those who understand will understand."
"Officials have plenty of ways to embezzle some of the money for their own benefit, and at the same time, the burden on the people naturally increases."
Is there a countermeasure for every policy?
This is a very insightful statement. Yan Jiaoran couldn't help but feel more energetic after hearing it.
These problems are indeed common when collecting grain.
But how can we curb these means of enriching oneself and reduce the burden on the people?
Yan Jiaoran had no good solution and could only look at Qin Yuan expectantly, hoping to get a good answer from this bastard.
However.
Qin Yuan, as usual, did not propose a solution, but threw the problem to Yan Jiaoran.
"My dear, you have been thinking about this for many days. You are willing to give me a lecture tonight. I guess you already have the answer in your mind, right?"
"Of course!" Now that things have come to this, there has to be a solution.
Yan Jiaoran pondered for a moment and then said, "I think Emperor Taizu Gao's method is a good one."
"Civil officials were skinned and stuffed with straw, military generals were beheaded and sent to the nine frontiers, and the common people were beheaded and displayed to the public."
"The military also uses this method to establish authority, and it works quite well."
"If you don't actually use the knife, it's useless to just talk."
Yan Jiaoran spoke more and more smoothly: "If it really doesn't work, then I will punish all the nine clans."
"I just don't believe that corrupt officials can never be killed!"
"We must use severe punishment to deter them!"
The corner of Qin Yuan's mouth twitched slightly. When did his wife become so murderous?
This answer was beyond his expectation.
Qin Yuan shook his head: "No, my lady, the experience of Emperor Taizu Gao has proved that even with harsh punishments, corrupt officials cannot be eliminated."
"Even if it can deter people temporarily, once the policy is relaxed, officials will immediately resort to frantic retaliatory violations, causing great suffering to the people."
"Ma'am, do you have any other ideas?"
Yan Jiaoran was very calm and said calmly, "Since killing doesn't work."
"The only thing we can do is work harder on supervision and increase oversight to prevent officials from enriching themselves."
"We can appoint grain inspectors to patrol the country and investigate corruption."
"Once corruption is discovered, it will be punished immediately and severely to serve as a warning to others!"
