"And Jizhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou and other major northern states are also actively suppressing the gentry, and success has been reported. I believe that within three months, the northern states and counties will not exist in the gentry." Jia Xu cupped his hands, bowed, and respectfully reported. .
"Okay, the three Aiqings did a great job!"
Although Qi Zuo said only a few simple sentences, Liu Bian could hear the difficulty of the suppression process. Jia Xu must have done his best to complete this important task. Two families are easy to settle, but thousands of families are very difficult.
"Your Majesty has won the prize." All three ministers said modestly.
"By the way, have all the gentry fields been recovered?" Liu Bian asked eagerly.
"Your Majesty, all the land in the three major states and counties is already in the hands of the local governments, and it can be distributed to the common people only by your Majesty's decree." Jia Xu said.
"Okay, I have an idea about allocating the land." Liu Bian glanced at the audience with stern and sharp eyes, feeling the gazes of the ministers seeking knowledge, and then said: "The land is distributed according to the population of the common people. Soldiers who have served the country will be allocated twice as much as ordinary people, and the empire will not treat those with meritorious deeds lightly!"
"Do you think it's feasible?" After speaking his thoughts, Liu Bian asked Xiang Qunchen aloud.
"Your Majesty Shengming, this move is very appropriate!"
"The allocation of land is to make countless people happy, and they will definitely be grateful to the imperial court and His Majesty. For military families, the allocation of land is doubled. This move will not only allow soldiers to have no worries about their families, but also increase their sense of belonging, and they can make sacrifices for the country. Blood service can make our common people 023 actively join the army and serve the country. This allocation is the best policy!"
As soon as Liu Bian's voice fell, he was joined by all the ministers in the hall. Standing in this hall can prove their respective talents. Naturally, he can see Liu Bian's way of allocating fields.
"Okay, Yuan Lao Aiqing, the two Ding Lao Aiqings, I intend to leave the assignment of the land to you. Would you like to?" Liu Bian turned his attention to the three elders and ministers.
"Your Majesty has a decree, and the old minister swears to fulfill his decree." The three ministers bowed and thanked with excitement.
"Well, there are three old Aiqings doing this, I can rest assured!" Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction.
After arranging the allocation of fields, Liu Bian felt a little more at ease, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Bian thought of another major issue related to the people's livelihood.
"How much tax does the Han court levy on the people?" Liu Bian asked solemnly.
"Report to Your Majesty, since the first emperor, the taxation of the common people is ten taxes and seven!" A young official who seemed to be in charge of taxation stepped out and said respectfully.
"What? Ten taxes and seven?" Liu Bian opened his mouth in surprise when he heard such a tax rate, and almost didn't cry out in surprise.
PS: It will be the beginning of next month, brothers, when the monthly ticket is guaranteed at the end of the month, they will all come to Boundless.
Chapter [-] The Five Legions
What is the ten tax seven?
It is equivalent to you earning ten cents. As a result, if you have to pay seven cents, you will have three cents.
Another explanation, you have harvested a thousand stone of grain, but you have to take seven hundred stone from the thousand stone and turn it over.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Liu Bian stared at the young official and asked.
"Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you." The young official replied very frankly. Although his face was respectful, he was not too timid.
"How much grain is produced per mu of my Han?" Liu Bian nodded secretly to the young official's performance, and then asked again.
"Three stones per mu, or even less." The young official replied confidently, as if he knew a lot about food and taxes.
Hearing this, Liu Bian's expression became even more ugly when he heard that Shi Taxi Qi had become unsightly.
According to the weight of this era, one stone is equal to one hundred and twenty pounds, three stones are three hundred and sixty pounds, and one mu is only three hundred and sixty pounds. This kind of output is really too low, especially after ten taxes and seven , the people's own per-mu yield is only worth [-] catties. After this, how can the people not be hungry, and how can they not resist?
Forced, indeed forced by the imperial court!
"It seems that after the DPRK meeting, I have to find the system to exchange for some high-yield food crops, three stones per mu, this kind of yield is too low." Liu Bian thought, but secretly made up his mind to change the current situation of low food production. .
Of course, this can only be carried out after the land is allocated in the future. At this stage, it is still necessary to get rid of the ten taxes and seven that weighed down the Han common people. Treating the people of the world as human beings has left Liu Bian with a mess, and it will take a lot of time to settle it.
Thinking of this, Liu Bian made up his mind on this rude taxation method!
"Ten taxes and seven, my big Han's billions of people are so overwhelmed by this tax law that they can't lift their heads. If this law is to be changed, it must be changed!" Liu Bian suddenly stood up, and the majesty of the emperor suddenly appeared, scanning the hall. ministers.
"I implore Your Majesty to revise the taxation law!" All the ministers bowed their heads and said respectfully.
"The decree continues, from today on, the taxation of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty will be revised, from the original ten taxes and seven to ten taxes and five. From now on, I don't want to see my big Han being harmed by the taxation of the imperial court. The people are displaced, they don't have enough to eat and don't get warm." Liu Bian said with an unquestionable tone.
"Your Majesty Shengming!!!"
The ministers chanted at the same time, full of respect for Liu Bian.
As the saying goes, the country can be established by bravery and martial arts, and the country can be established by benevolence and culture.
What makes the ministers in awe is that in these two aspects, their emperors, the emperors they allegiance to all exist, and they are stronger than any emperors in the past.
"What's your name?" Liu Bian looked at the young official.
"Report to Your Majesty, the name of the minister, Xun You!" The young official replied with strong respect.
"So you are Wen Ruo's nephew." Liu Bian raised his brows and said with a smile.
"I don't dare to use my uncle's name to cross over." Xun You said respectfully, as if he didn't want to make Baiguan treat him differently because of Xun Yu's identity.
"Haha, okay, each of the eight dragons of the Xun family is stronger than the other. In that case, Xun You obeys the order." After Liu Bian laughed, his expression became serious, and his eyes fell on Xun You.
"I respectfully listen to the holy will." Xun You fell to his knees with a solemn expression.
"I named you the fourth-grade Dasi Nongcheng, with a salary of thirty shi, and you are mainly responsible for taxation of the people in the future, statistics and records, and no omissions are allowed. This task is arduous, Xun Aiqing, please don't let me down!" Liu Bian gave the seal with authority. road.
"My minister thanks Your Majesty for the award, and this minister will not disappoint His Majesty." In front of the civil and military officials, Xun You assured.
"Okay, then, the next step is to reintegrate our army!" Civilian affairs are nothing more than suppressing the nobility, allocating land, reducing taxes and taxes, then the affairs of military commanders are the army Liu Bian planned to arrange early in the morning. integrated.
As early as a few months ago, when Liu Bian personally led the army to pacify Liangzhou, he was not very happy with the current army plan. The distribution was too rigid, and the infantry and cavalry were mixed.
