The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 195 Desire to implement the strategy of farming
Grassroots governance is a big game, and it has never been a simple game of incorporation.

Although Tian Feng and Xun Chen's method can achieve immediate results, but the upper limit is too low, it is destined not to have much effect.

After the two finished speaking, Lin Chao pondered for a moment before continuing to speak: "Everyone, before proposing a strategy, we might as well think about what the purpose of managing people's livelihood is."

"What do you mean by Zichu's words?"

Xun Chen asked puzzledly.

Isn't the purpose of governing people's livelihood just to collect more taxes and enrich the treasury?

Is there any other purpose?

Lin Chao explained: "Everyone, the grassroots governance in the eyes of a certain person can be divided into two parts, people's livelihood and people's hearts. If people's livelihood is dependent, people's hearts can be won. Those who win people's hearts can win the general trend."

"So, the first step in grassroots governance is to support the people to make a living."

The first step in the merits of all ages is to let the people under the rule survive.

Only when the days are long can there be a future, otherwise everything is vain.

Lin Chao opened his mouth and said, "Wenhe, how much tax do I pay now? How much does the common people produce per mu?"

Jia Xu stood up, cupped his hands at Lin Chaoyi and said, "Returning to the Changshi, the common people's land rent is [-] yuan, and the tax is [-] yuan. There are other calculations. Those who are merchants, slaves and maidservants pay two calculations. There are other taxes. .As for the yield per mu, one mu of good land can get three stones of corn.”

Every time Jia Xu said a name, Lin Chao sighed.

Among so many taxes, only the land rent is subject to change. No matter how much you harvest, you only charge one-fifteenth.

Other oral taxes, counting taxes, and changing taxes are all rigid regulations and must be paid. Even if you have no income, you are about to starve to death, and you cannot pay less taxes from the court.

The so-called oral Fu refers to teenagers who are seven to 14 years old, each of whom needs to pay [-] yuan to the court every year.

As for the calculation of Fu, people between the ages of 15 and 56 have to pay 120 yuan to the court every year.

Because 120 yuan counts as one calculation, it is also called calculation Fu.

In addition, the more endowments belong to corvee service. From the age of 20, adult men have to serve corvee service for at least three months every year, and it will be longer due to changes in the current situation.

In other words, every household in Dahan, regardless of whether you have suffered disasters or harvested this year, the family, men, women and children have to hand over the money to the court, or deduct it in kind.

Just imagine, a family of five, men and women work together to cultivate one hundred acres of land, and only have three hundred shi of grain for all the hard work throughout the year, which is equivalent to the catty of future generations, which is only [-] catties.

And a family of five, two adults, three children, how much food do they need to eat a year?
In the days when no meat is seen for many years, and they have to work intensively, each person must have at least two catties of corn per day to barely eat seventy percent full.

Ten catties a day, nearly four thousand catties of grain a year.

The land rent can be handed over to the imperial court for more than 100 catties, and the sum of oral Fu and Fu is [-] Yuan. In addition, the foreign money will be paid to avoid changing the Fu and it will cost several hundred Yuan.

In addition, some food has to be reserved as seeds for the coming year, and some daily clothing, salt, porcelain and ironware are added, all of which are money.

So all year round, when the weather is safe and sound, and there are no natural or man-made disasters, a family can only have a few thousand catties of grain left.

If there is a natural or man-made disaster, no grain harvest, the whole family is hungry, and the court comes to collect taxes, these farmers have only two choices.

First, directly rebel and set off a civil uprising!
There is no way out, so what are you waiting for if you don't rebel?
Waiting to starve to death or being killed by corrupt officials?
As for the whole big man, in the past few decades, there has been no peace.

Natural disasters cause some people to have nowhere to go, and these people who have nowhere to go will cause chaos, which will cause another part of the people to have nowhere to go, so they can only follow blindly.

Just like a snowball, it is getting bigger and bigger.

In the end, the court could only send troops to suppress it.

As for the second option, just throw away the field and run away.

I ran to a place where no one knew me, attached myself to powerful landlords and noble families, came to plant their land, and became tenant farmers.

These people are much more ruthless than the imperial court. They pay one-fifth of the land rent to the imperial court, but charge half or two-thirds of the land rent to the lower court.

But this is not bad, at least the desperate people can survive.

With the help of the aristocratic family, the people only pay land rent and are exempted from other taxes. Regardless of good or bad years, they can at least survive.

It's just that these aristocratic families hid a large number of people, and the imperial court reduced a large amount of taxes.

If things go on like this, the wealth of the aristocratic family will increase, the land will increase, and the farmers and the court will become poorer and poorer. This is a vicious circle.

In fact, the above two points were also the key to the decline and fall of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty.

As long as these two problems are not solved, nothing is solved.

After listening to the data reported by Jia Xu, Lin Chao did the calculations for everyone, and then sighed: "Everyone, the people have worked hard for a year, but in the end they ended up with no food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies. Like this, How to support the people to make a living?"

Hearing this, everyone was silent.

Even Tian Feng, the most determined, just sighed: "This is the case, and it cannot be changed easily. If the taxes of the people are reduced or exempted, I am afraid it will not be conducive to the operation of the state capital."

After all, this is a dead end.

The cake is only this big, if the common people eat more, the Liu Bei Group will eat less.

Where did the extra cake go?

Naturally, it was snatched away by the family.

It's just that the aristocratic family can't move yet, or it can't be fully moved.

"Therefore, a certain person wants to practice the strategy of farming and supporting the people to make a living."

The method of farming has long existed, but no one expected that Lin Chao would bring it up at this time.

Xun Chen opened his mouth and asked, "Targeting, how to farm?"

"Naturally, the people will be relocated and farmed intensively. One person from each household will join the army in rotation to protect the people in farming." Lin Chao said slowly, "Those who garrison the fields will be exempted from all taxes."

Lin Chao's approach has two advantages.

First, organize the people to farm together, and at the same time select the young and strong to form an army, so that even if they encounter bandits, they can protect themselves and their fields.

Second, the refugees absorbed themselves, which could prevent the aristocratic families from continuing to hide their population and increase their wealth.

For the aristocratic family, at this stage, we can only curb its development, but we can't kill the weeds.

After hearing Lin Chao's plan, everyone nodded again.

Compared with Tian Feng and Xun Chen's suggestion, this method is very feasible and effective.

In the event of an emergency, these young men who protect the fields can also be drawn out and put into the battlefield at any time.

Tian Feng is now in charge of people's livelihood management. After pondering for a while, he stood up and asked, "Zichu, where did the first batch of people to farm the land come from? Besides, if no tax is collected, how much should the land rent be levied?"

"Just farm the land from Donghai County, and then absorb some refugees. Let's see the results first. As for the land rent..."

Lin Chao said indifferently: "You can collect [-]% of the yield per mu."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar!

　The content of this chapter is relatively boring, with too much data, and Lao Yu wrote it for four hours.But I had to write it, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why the protagonist must target the family.
