Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 158
"Well, the former Wei also talked about this with Zu Lang, commander-in-chief of Shanyue Zong in Jing County, and Zu Lang replied in the same way. The tyranny outside the mountain is as fierce as a tiger, and the people have to go to the mountain to escape from the world."

After listening to Teng Huxiong's words, Zhu Wei naturally understood what he was thinking, but Zhu Wei still didn't say anything directly, and continued to follow Teng Huxiong's words like a gossip, as if agreeing with him words.

But soon Zhu Wei changed the subject again, "But now that Zu Lang has become a general under the guard, he also promised to let the Shanyue mountain people of Jing County go out of the mountain and live in Yuzhang at that time, and Wei promised Zu Lang, everyone The people who settle in Yuzhang will be able to share the official land for renting and farming. At that time, the government will only take four out of ten of the harvest as the rented mediocre tax. Excessive taxes! And Wei as a guarantee that the people who leave the mountains will never be swallowed up by local tyrants and wealthy households, and they will be able to live safely in the local area. If villagers reclaim new land, they can go to the government to register as private land. From the date of registration , land tax is exempted for one year, and after one year, it will be taxed at [-] per cent according to the old system. And Wei promised that under Wei's rule, only land tax will be collected, and there will be no head taxes for individuals. If you collect taxes, you can tell Yu Wei, and let Wei go and talk to him!"

Zhu Wei still didn't directly say anything about letting the mountain people come out of the mountain, but talked about the land tax system he was preparing for in the future.

Although Zhu Wei is not very familiar with the feudal tax system, the poll tax is of course not what the people of later generations value. This will only lead to the prevalence of tax avoidance with hidden population.

Therefore, in Zhu Wei's conception, the first tax system to be implemented on his own territory in the future is the land tax.

This is the main source of food for the government, and also the main source of food for Zhu Weijun in the future, so land taxes must be collected, but the basis for tax collection will only be the real land, not the headcount of the population under the rule. Come.

Taxes are collected based on the land owned by each household. In this way, the land and fields that are the subject matter of tax calculation are easy to measure and determine. After all, land and fields cannot be escaped or hidden.

This can be regarded as conceived based on the "one whip method" of the later Ming Dynasty. This whip method is the result of Zhang Juzheng's reform of the taxation system in the past dynasties. Part of the labor burden will be shared among the fields.

Anyway, the tax requirements for individual households are canceled, and the taxation target is placed on the land, which is the so-called primary form of dividing the land into acres.

And if Zhu Wei comes to do it now, he will directly prepare the stalls in the mu in one step, so as not to have to take more detours.

To be honest, Zhu Wei really doesn't care about the poll tax. How much money can be made by ordinary people, if they are not careful, they will be manipulated by the officials below. This will benefit the officials below, but it will be scolded. The government that collects the poll tax.

Not to mention that everyone pays a little money, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people are worth millions or tens of millions of dollars. If this money is really used, it will not be eye-catching at all, but it will force the people below to think about it. Taking measures to hide the population, or attaching themselves to the families of local nobles or powerful families, will only result in more losses than gains.

Therefore, Zhu Wei directly gave up the poll tax, and also encouraged births to increase the population background. In this day and age, the population is the greatest wealth, and no matter what you do, you need manpower to support it.

In addition, in Zhu Wei's conception, if he wants to make money in the future, he should use his brains on business taxes, so that the country will be rich with business.

With the abolition of the poll tax, there is no need to strictly control the local population, which is more conducive to the flow of population and the development of industry and commerce.

In this way, even if there is a situation of land annexation, it will only encourage the landless population to turn to handicrafts, or to work in factories, factories and other places. Forcibly changing careers can also promote business development.

Anyway, Zhu Wei is very confident, relying on his vision of future generations, if he really wants to make money, he can still find many ways. As for the poll tax from the common people to make money, it is too much for the traveler.

But now facing people like Teng Huxiong, it is not necessary to talk about such far-reaching things, it is enough to talk about things such as land tax and corvee that are directly related to the interests of the local people.

So Zhu Wei talked about the land tax system he will implement, mainly to ensure that the mountain people who go out of the mountains don't have to worry about exorbitant taxes, forcing them to survive, and can also use the land system to attract the mountain people in the mountains to go out and reclaim new land. field.

In addition, the errand system is still necessary, and many things in this year need to be supported by manpower.

The best source of this manpower is to transfer people through the government's service system, but Zhu Wei will not let the service personnel work in vain. If the tax can be deducted, it means working to make money. Naturally, it will be better than before when they were transferred and worked in vain. A system that is exhausting and exhausting but does no good is much more attractive.

Anyway, although Zhu Wei still didn't say anything directly to allow the mountain people to live in the mountains, it still made Teng Huxiong and other leaders in Zhongling Mountain dumbfounded.

Teng Huxiong and others looked at Zhu Wei, and they couldn't help thinking silently over there to digest the information revealed in Zhu Wei's words. They all needed a process of acceptance in their hearts.

In addition, they also need to consider whether Zhu Wei's words are credible, don't just talk in empty words, just to trick people out.

"Young master Zhu, what do you mean by this? We rough people in the mountains really don't understand!"

Maybe it felt that the atmosphere of the scene was a bit cold, Teng Huxiong deliberately put on a posture that he didn't understand what Zhu Wei said, and looked at Zhu Wei pretending to be stupid.

He also had to play dumb, otherwise he would have to make a statement, but how could he make such a decision now.

"Didn't the Lord Tengzhai say earlier that Wei's excuse in Zhongling Mountain this time is only for fear that the life of the mountain people in the mountain will be less stable in the future! Then Wei can guarantee here that as long as the people in the mountain are willing to go out to live in the mountain, Wei will be the protector of himself." It's safe! This battle has settled Yuzhang, and Wei will implement such things in Yuzhang. Master Tengzhai, since you care about the people in Zhongling Mountain, there is nothing better than making the people live in peace. Life in the mountains is hard, but Wei Ke can protect the life of the mountain people outside the mountains, so why not let the mountain people go out of the mountains!"

Zhu Wei saw that Teng Huxiong was still pretending to be stupid, so he directly clarified the words. Anyway, the foreshadowing in front is almost done, so he still has to say it after all.

If this matter was directly mentioned just now, Teng Huxiong and other people in Zhongling Mountain would naturally find various reasons to object, but what else can they say now.

Zhu Wei deliberately placed Teng Huxiong in a high position of caring for the mountain people, so that he could not refute Zhu Wei's words...
