Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 1454 The Dust Settles
Everyone said a lot, nothing more than not wanting the government to collect taxes.

After all, those lands are their lifeblood.

everyone!

Guo Jia suddenly raised his voice and said, "I know your grievances, and you don't want to collect taxes, but you have to think about the government. What is the land for? It is used to grow food. What is the land around Chang'an now? Look, you all know it well."

"But we already pay the vacancy tax! Why VAT?"

Someone in the crowd asked dissatisfied.

everyone!

Guo Jia patiently explained again: "The introduction of value-added tax is to put an end to the bad habit of hoarding land and not planting it. As long as the land is planted with food, the value-added tax will stop immediately. Think about it, everyone hoards land and does not plant it. , where there will be food production in the future, we will all be hungry. After all, land is not edible or drinkable, so what is the point of hoarding land. Do you want people in Chang’an to starve and have nothing to eat in the future?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

What Guo Jia said makes sense.

If everyone hoards land and does not plant it, where will there be food output?

As a government, it is natural to consider this matter.

Seeing this, Guo Jia took the opportunity to say: "The introduction of value-added tax also took everyone's situation into consideration, so we formulated a tax exemption clause of 25 mu per capita. Only those with more than 25 mu per capita will be taxed."

When formulating this paragraph, Guo Jia went through repeated scrutiny.

The standard of 25 mu per capita will exclude at least 80.00% of the common people, and only those 80.00% who own [-]% of the land will be collected.

Because these talents are the main force of hoarding land.

"Young man, how much land does your family have?"

Guo Jia suddenly asked.

Hearing Guo Jia's question, the man said shyly, "There are five people in our family, and we only have fifty mu of land."

"Five people, fifty acres, less than 25 acres, what are you doing here?"

Guo Jia asked with a smile.

The man scratched his head and said, "We also came from Yunzhou. We sold all our belongings when we came here, and only bought [-] acres of land. Originally, we were counting on this land to support our family. I just heard people say that The government wants to collect value-added tax. They also said that if they can collect value-added tax today, they can collect poll tax tomorrow. They called on everyone to come to Sili Xiaowei’s yamen to seek justice. We were also afraid that taxes would be collected indiscriminately in the future, so we followed suit. "

Hahahaha!

Hearing this honest guy, Guo Jia couldn't help laughing.

"I see, you didn't have anything to do here originally, you were worried that the government would collect taxes again, so you followed suit, didn't you?"

The boy nodded.

The vast majority of people came here with this mentality in mind.

They were also bewitched by those with ulterior motives.

Jia Xu!

Guo Jia suddenly looked at him, and said with a smile: "It's your fault. Why didn't you explain it clearly to these people. It's all your responsibility to make trouble to this point."

Jia Xu also cupped her fists and said, "It's my subordinate's dereliction of duty."

everyone!

Guo Jia suddenly raised his voice.

"I, Guo Jia, guarantee with my life that I will never charge any more land fees in the future. The per capita exemption standard of 25 acres will remain unchanged for 20 years. And I can tell you here again that in view of the fact that the value-added tax was introduced too hastily, So much so that everyone misunderstood. The general decided to launch it after half a year, giving everyone half a year of buffer time."

The mighty general!
Whether it is ordinary people or representatives of landlords, they are all sincerely happy.

The per capita 25 mu is exempt from taxation, giving ordinary people a reassurance.

The delay of the launch for half a year has brought a lot of room for the landlords to operate, and both parties are happy.

but……

Guo Jia's complexion suddenly turned cold.

"At that time, if there are any troublemakers again, they will be accomplices in rebellion and will be killed without mercy!"

Speaking of this, it is already stern.

Everyone couldn't help shivering, their backs were soaked in cold sweat.

Only then did they realize that this great general was not a good person, and the number of rioters and nomads who died at his hands was probably no less than a million.

Other princes have always called Guo Jia "Guo Butcher".

Once the half-year deadline passed, if they dared to gather a crowd to make trouble, what awaited them would be a bloody end.

Soon, everyone dispersed, leaving only a mess.

Most of these people came here because they were bewitched, and after taking a reassurance at Guo Jia's place, they naturally went home happily.

Value-added tax or something has nothing to do with them, and they will no longer join in the fun of whoever they love.

As for those landlords, they left in a hurry after receiving the half-year buffer time promised by Guo Jia.

They have to go back and report to the master.

As long as they have time, their master can do it.

Seeing this, Guo Jia finally relaxed.

it's over!
Jia Xu on the side also nodded and said, "It's over!"

Now that Guo Jia has set a deadline, it is impossible to continue hoarding and increasing value.Those who hoard the land have to find ways to sell the land within half a year.

Anyway, with the current land price, they can still make a lot of money.

But they forget that there is a kind of psychology called buying up and not buying down.

Once Chang'an's land starts to drop in price, the bubble of land price will burst soon.

Guo Jia didn't do anything at all, and the land price would automatically drop to a reasonable level.

This is the regulating effect of the market, and there will be no big ups and downs.

Soft landing, safe transition.

This is Guo Jia's purpose.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Guo Jia cupped his fists.

"Don't dare!"

Jia Xu hastily returned a salute.

His white face sang very well.

It's just that the people in Chang'an may not be able to tolerate him in the future.

Dian Wei on the side grinned and said, "My lord, let's just act. Why are you using so much strength? A certain family's mouth is swollen."

The guy's voice has changed a bit.

Haha!

Xu Chu on the side suddenly gloated.

"Ugly ghost, don't tell me, my lord gave you this slap, it seems to make your face look better."

Although the two were from the Tiger Guard Army, they have been going their separate ways over the years and rarely get together.

If he had time to tease Dian Wei, how could Xu Chu miss this opportunity?

"Fat pig, stop arguing with a certain family, isn't it itchy?"

Dian Wei became angry from embarrassment.

It is said that the two had fought a lot before.

OK!

Suddenly Xu Chu was eager to try, and said: "A certain family happens to be free today, let's come over and see if your kung fu has deteriorated."

compare!
It has been 20 years, and the two are still hot-tempered, and they started to fight when they disagreed.

Bang Bang Bang, the two started working.

These two guys!
Guo Jia sighed helplessly, shrugged, and said to himself: "Sure enough, I still haven't grown up."
