Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 767
Liaodong.

On the west bank of the Yalu River, an undercurrent is stirring under the calm water.

Yuan Taizuo was defeated and returned to the Central Plains, and his Joseon country was set up as the two counties of Xuantu and Daifang. From the king of Joseon to the governor of Xuantu, everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.

Sun Shunde, the defense envoy of Xuantu and the governor of the county, has been full of energy during this period.

Under his half persuasion and half threat, Yuan Taizuo was forced to agree to his plan to destroy the city and go down the mountain. The ice and snow on the mountain had just melted, and the whole Xuantu County was already busy moving down the mountain.

At the same time, Changsun Shunde also assigned the officials and scholars he brought to the following counties to start measuring the fields, checking the household registration, re-measured and registered all the land, and renewed the land deeds.At the same time as the deed is exchanged, deed tax is also levied.

Those Goguryeo nobles and powerful people are now facing a problem of holding back their anger.

That is, in the face of the strong policy of Changsun Shunde, they have to report all their lands truthfully, but in this way, not only will they have to pay a deed tax of [-]% for the new land lease, but also charge the money according to the land price. A small sum.If you can't get the money, you have to pay the tax with the land.

But the taxes are not over yet. They used to be nobles and powerful, so the taxes cannot be collected from them, even if they are paid, they are not much.

But it’s different now. After entering the Great Sui Dynasty and becoming a citizen of the Han Dynasty, everyone has to pay taxes. Moreover, the tax outside the Liaodong Pass is different from the tax in the Sui Dynasty in the Central Plains. At least they are all the same, but now they are only levied on the basis of acres of land.

The land rent is levied once, which is the official tax, and the free warehouse and social warehouse are collected again, which is said to be for the common people to prepare for famine relief, but in fact this is also a land tax other than the official tax, all levied on a per-mu basis.

As for the land rent and grain communal warehouses, the rent is [-] liters per mu per year, and the rent for righteous warehouses and social warehouses is [-] liters each. In fact, one mu of land is levied for one bucket of millet a year, which is almost at the tax rate of [-]. To sign.

Sun Shunde publicized the new tax law, saying that the new tax law is simple and lighter than the past.

But the Goguryeo nobles and tycoons would not believe the dead ghost of Changsun Shunde, and their land was not allocated to them by the Sui Dynasty, it was their own ancestral property.

The result is equivalent to paying eleven taxes.

There is not even a deduction or exemption amount, and even the governor Yuan Taizuo, the land under his name is not less than one mu, and all of them are taxed.

Even the [-] mu of noble title Yongye Tian granted to him by the imperial court was the same tax per mu.

"We Goguryeo people have established our country in Liaodong for 700 years. My family is the family of the fathers who founded the country at the time. It has been 700 years and we have never paid such taxes."

"Changsun Shunde's people are clearing up the land every day, and let people claim the land. After claiming the land, they have to pay the deed tax, and in the future they have to pay rent and grain every year according to the number of acres. Accepting it as an official property, sharing the land for the common people, and even setting it up as an official village. Tell me, what the hell is this!"

"Yes."

The tax per mu is like a lot of nobles and tyrants. Which family does not have tens of thousands of acres of land, which means that they now have to pay deed taxes worth hundreds or even thousands of acres of land, and they will have to pay hundreds of thousands of shi every year in the future. rent food.

"I heard that the Sui people's tax law in the Central Plains was not like this at all. They charged rent on the basis of a dime, and a dime was only two shi millet a year. But now we have to pay hundreds of thousands of shi a year, which is too deceptive. !"

The aristocrats who were used to enjoying privileges suddenly became ordinary people, and there was no privilege at all. This kind of gap was unacceptable for a while.

"Don't forget, the grandson Shunde still needs to collect the industrial and commercial tax. Now the salt, iron, tea and wine, etc., which one doesn't need to pay the [-]th special tax?"

Many Goguryeo nobles and tycoons are not only big landlords, they also monopolize industry and commerce, workshops, shops and caravans. cut their flesh.

"That eldest grandson Papi, now even our house has to be charged, cars and boats have to be charged for vehicles and boats, and cattle and horses have to be charged for cattle and horses. Don't you think this is too much?"

According to the new order of Changsun Shunde.

That is, all the people of Xuantu can enjoy extra tax-free homesteads. For example, an ordinary family can have one acre of homestead. As long as you build a house that does not exceed this acre, it will not be affected.

But if your house exceeds one mu, then the excess area will be taxed, and this real estate tax is the house tax.

Ordinary people, of course, no one’s house will exceed one mu. After all, even if they build an extra firewood house and cowshed, it will not be counted as the taxable area if it is not the main house.

But those powerful landlords, especially nobles, which family would only have one mu of land?

Who even has only one house?

Therefore, the excess will now be taxed.

Room means one room or two rooms, referring to the number of houses.

The frame is two pillars at the front and back, and two frames are one room.

Therefore, this new frame tax is actually levied according to the quantity. Every house with two frames is one room, and specifically, it is divided into three classes according to the quality of the house.

Of course, if you have official titles, titles, honors, etc., you can properly increase the number of houses you own, but if you don’t, no matter how rich you are, if you are a family, you only have one acre of land .

You say that I have a lot of family members, but that’s not okay, because the new order issued by the eldest grandson Shunde also stipulates that after the great service has been made, it is also ordered to separate the accounts, and each is an account to prevent concealment.That is to say, if the cousins ​​of the generation get married, they must divide the family and register with a separate account, and they are not allowed to continue living together.

This is naturally done to combat the big clans and at the same time increase the control over the population.

This means that a family can have at most three generations of grandparents and grandchildren living under the same roof, and it is impossible for four generations to live together under the same roof, because once the grandchildren become adults, they will be separated from each other. Cousins ​​will not continue to live together, only brothers. Allowed to live together.

"I heard that the eldest grandson Papi, it seems that after the population of this household registration is checked, an additional household tax will be levied, and the household registration will be classified into ninth grades according to wealth and poverty, and then a household tax will be collected every year."

"This eldest grandson Papi doesn't want us to have an easy time at all!" Someone said angrily.

"What's the eldest grandson's skinning? This is what King Naluoyan meant. If it wasn't for his order, how dare the eldest grandson's skinning?"

"Then what should we do? Let's just let them slaughter us like this? Cut one knife today, and another knife tomorrow? If this continues, there may be some more ruthless methods in the future!"

In the past, they were high-ranking Goguryeo nobles and powerful landlords. Even though Yuan Tae-joo later usurped the throne and established a separate North Korea, their status was not affected in essence.

But now, it's completely different.

"Damn it, grandson Shunde also said that private armor, spears, crossbows and bows should be banned, and private soldiers should be banned. I think his next step is to move all of us to Liaodong or even Luoyang, Chang'an!" Someone shouted indignantly.

All the old Goguryeo nobles who secretly connected were silent.

a long time.

Someone stood up.

"I thought that after returning to the Han family, my life would still be the same as before. But now it seems that I will be regarded as cattle and sheep by the Han family and slaughtered at will. If I don't stand up and resist, I'm afraid I won't After three generations, they will all perish!"

A single word awakened the people in the dream, and completely ignited the anger in these people's hearts.

"It's the other way around!"

"Inverted!"
