Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 1532 Good Luck and Pregnancy 38
As the "observers" feed back the news, those who are curious will be fine, and those who are curious are just discussing with friends, but those who want to fight for the country like An Ran and are ready to absorb experience, suddenly find that the experience of Ping'an Mansion, It didn't help at all.

First of all, the Ping'an Prefecture exempted all exorbitant taxes, and then lowered the taxes, and the mud-legged people only had to pay a little tax—this also led many people to come to Ping'an Prefecture to settle down.

That alone, they can't do it.

Because it's very simple, it costs a lot of money to conquer the world. Armor, weapons, food and grass, and soldiers' salaries all cost money. With low taxes, they can't survive at all.

Ask how Ping'an Mansion can survive.

A person familiar with the matter revealed: Ping'an Prefecture can receive a lot of commercial taxes, so the mud-legged people's tax is drizzle, and it's okay not to.

And this, no one else can follow suit.

Why not follow suit?
Because there are not so many merchants on their site, why there is not, it is not very simple, they are not like on the site of Enron, they have simple laws and regulations, everything is done according to the law, there has never been a case of copying merchants for no reason That's why merchants dare to come to Anran's territory to do business.

However, do merchants dare to do business on other people's land?It's impossible, they dare not go.

These troubled times, once they run out of money, they will always find an excuse to copy the homes of merchants. Anyway, in their view, merchants are not involved in production, and ordinary people will not object to copying their homes. There is nothing wrong with getting military funding.

But I never thought that after doing this at every turn, no merchant would dare to do business on their territory. In this way, without merchants, where would they go to collect taxes?If you can't get the merchant's tax, you can only get the farmer's tax.

And because their territory is generally not large, but the army they maintain is particularly large, and they need a lot of money. In this way, it is impossible to collect very low taxes from farmers like An Ran, because they collect more taxes. , is not much different from the previous imperial court. In this way, how can people believe that the imperial court they will build in the future will be better than the current imperial court?In this way, it is not like An Ran's rule that can gather people's hearts.

They envy An Ran's means of gathering people's hearts, but they can't do it. After all, in war, there is always a time when it is not convenient. If the money is spent, the peasants will not be able to squeeze out much money. Where did the money come from?

And once they continue to do so, how can any merchant be willing to come to their site to do business?Without merchants coming to do business, how can they get rich business taxes?Without abundant commercial taxes, it is naturally impossible to reduce agricultural taxes.

As a result, they quickly fell into a similar "chicken and egg" cycle and could not find a way out.

There is one more thing they can't learn.

Anran accepts refugees now, although it is not like when it was in Taiping Village at the beginning, it only accepts family members, not only young and strong, now only young and strong, Anran also accepts - but usually secretly monitors and sees them However, the spies sent by others may have committed illegal and criminal activities—but Anran still recruits soldiers with family members first, and basically does not accept bachelors—this alone makes those who want to join the Anron army It's embarrassing for the person who puts the spies here, after all, who would let someone take the whole family to be a spy, because if there is a family member bound by him, he will be afraid, how can he be a spy.

After receiving them, they called them soldiers, saying that the patrols were all fighting for their families. If they fell, the families behind them would suffer. So these people, it’s nothing more than ordinary fighting, and they can’t tell. Once they encounter a tough battle , They will often fight desperately, for fear that they will not be able to fight, the city will be broken, and the family will suffer, and the combat power will increase suddenly in an instant, making it impossible to defend against. It will disintegrate in an instant, and then there will be a rout, which is completely incomparable.

But now the heroes from all walks of life recruit mostly young and single soldiers, because generally speaking, in troubled times, such people are the easiest to sign up to join the army. The family is left unattended.

I don't know how Gu Wufu persuaded those people with families to sign up. Anyway, judging from the intelligence, the troops led by Gu Wufu are mostly good families with families.

——This is what these heroes don’t understand. The better life is, the more people want to protect such a good life for their families. If you don’t protect it, the enemy will come. Once the city is broken, the good life will be gone. Well, in this way, there are quite a few good families who are willing to join the army. On the contrary, under their rule, life is not good, and the taxes collected by the higher authorities are too high to take care of their own families. How can they be willing to work for them?It's normal to not be able to recruit a good family.

Of course, heroes from all walks of life would rather recruit bachelors into the army, because those with family backgrounds will always be timid once they fight, and they will pretend to be dead if they can. On the contrary, they are not like those bachelors. Enough.

They also don't understand why a good family who is unwilling to work hard under their rule is willing to work hard under An Ran's rule. It's really a ghost.

They naturally don't understand that people are willing to work hard for a good life, but they don't want to work hard for a bad life. Naturally, they have to protect their lives and take care of their family members who cannot survive.

In addition to the two major points of money and soldiers, there are many things they can't imitate, such as free education, asking teachers to teach people to read, no matter what background they are, they can study without charging money.

They feel that this is pure prodigal stuff, and the world hasn't played it out yet. What are you doing with these useless things? No, it's not only useless, but also a waste of money, so it's harmful. God knows what Gu Wufu is doing. These.

So after some investigation, these people found that they could not use An Ran's experience at all, and in many places, they couldn't understand why Gu Wufu did this at all.

In the end, I can only think, it seems that we still have to take down the Ping'an Mansion, and when we take down the Ping'an Mansion, don't we understand everything?If you haven't been in contact with it, you naturally don't understand the use of Gu Wufu's doing these things.

So on this day, because they didn't understand the situation of Ping'an Mansion, they decided not to figure out the Xijiang Mansion City in the west, so they dispatched troops and generals to attack Ping'an Mansion, so that when they were defeated, there would be money and a way to manage internal affairs. up.

In addition, there is also food—it is the autumn harvest season at this time. According to news, this year, the five counties under the Ping’an government plus the government have a bumper harvest of food, and the amount of food harvested is enough for Xijiang to fight for a long time. Time is running out, with so many good things, the Xijiang leader feels that if he can't let them not belong to him, then he won't be able to sleep at night.
