I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 387, the power of taxation to households
In the end, Xu Wei agreed with them to use the new iron-clad wooden track to increase the transport capacity of the track. At the same time, he also agreed with Old Man Wang's proposal to expand Tianjin Port and Sanggan River!Xu Wei even proposed to Old Man Wang to build more ports in Youzhou to share the pressure of Tianjin Port!
But this is not the end. In the next few days, the high-level executives of Daqian kept looking for Xu Wei, wanting Xu Wei to support their plans, and each plan is extremely huge, either costing billions of money, or spending hundreds of dollars in a few years. [-] million dollars!It looks like he wants to bankrupt Xu Wei.

Xu Wei asked puzzledly: "You didn't have so many plans to spend money before, why does everyone have it now!"

Niu Guidao: "You helped Zhang Baiqi build a glass factory, so that Zhang Baiqi could have money to build infrastructure in Jizhou. We also want merit, so naturally we came to you to find a solution!"

Xu Wei smiled wryly. It turned out to be the reason. Everyone really regarded themselves as the God of Wealth, and wanted to create another profitable industry like Liulichang, but Xu Wei didn't have many such industries in his mind, otherwise he would have already Take it out, it is necessary to hide it!

Xu Wei simply summoned the entire high-level executives and asked them to put forward all the projects to be done and how much they would cost at the meeting.

As a result, these high-level executives each have their own projects that they want to build. Each of them is very important, but all of these projects will cost more than three times the financial expenditure of Dagan's fiscal revenue. If all these projects are all Daqian can only go bankrupt completely.

Xu Wei simply asked them to formulate a financial budget by themselves, and let them decide which plans can be kept and which are unrealistic to be cut off, but each of these high-level executives wants to keep their own proposals and cut off other people's proposals , and the one among them who can make a judgment is Xu Wei, and this question has been pushed in front of Xu Wei again.

This disturbed Xu Wei so much that he didn't even have time to build a glass greenhouse!

Later, Xu Wei suddenly thought: "Isn't the old men in Hope Country just doing these things? It would be great if I handed over the review of these bills to Xiang Kai and the others, and they can just suggest the effect of the Four People's Council!"

So Xu Wei summoned Niu Gui and other high-level executives and said: "In the future, I will hand over the voting rights of Dagan's financial budget to the Four People's Council. As long as more than half of them agree, your plan can be implemented, but if there is no half of them Agree, then I can only cut it off!"

Niu Gui worried: "Most of them are ordinary people who can understand these complicated proposals!"

Wang Ge also worried: "Besides, if we spread our financial situation like this, the princes of the big Han will definitely know our information. Is it okay to do this?"

Wang Ge knew that his proposal was the most likely to be rejected. After all, the army is the most expensive in the entire Dagan system, and other people's proposals are to improve the infrastructure of Dagan. They want to practice, expand waterways, and build canals. Improve everyone's life, but relatively speaking, increasing the number of soldiers is difficult to significantly improve the lives of ordinary people, and his proposal is the most difficult to pass!

Xu Wei smiled and said: "With our strength, we don't have to worry about the princes of the Han Dynasty. They were not our opponents when they united, let alone now they are torn apart. As long as we don't make mistakes, the princes of the Han Dynasty will be defeated." It is impossible to be our opponent! Submitting your bill to the councilors for review will reduce the probability of making mistakes. After all, it is easy for one person to make mistakes, but it is difficult for hundreds of people to make mistakes!"

For parliament!Xu Wei will gradually expand their rights, and of course the election will gradually become regular!

After Xu Wei made up his mind, Niu Gui and the others could only obey!
One by one, they introduced their proposals to Xiangkai at the meeting, and asked them to approve them at the same time!

Xiangkai and the others were pleasantly surprised to find that they could still decide on such a billion-dollar project, and they immediately became excited. Although they didn't understand many of them, they still asked carefully about every proposal!
Now it's Niu Gui's turn to be unbearably disturbed, and they have to cheer up to deal with and explain to hundreds of people.

But there is one thing that is different from what they think. The people's eyes are also discerning. They also know what is good for them and what is bad for them. Wang Ge's military expansion proposal was the first one to be killed!
The people of Dagan are full of confidence in their country. After all, in the past few years, Dagan has been victorious in all battles. They have wiped out hundreds of thousands of Han troops. They have a psychological advantage over the Han army. They think that Dagan's 20 standing army is enough to deal with the Han army. The princes, after all, an extra 40 standing army will cost an extra [-] billion in military expenditures, which is too high!
However, most of the proposals to build water canals, roads, and expand rivers have been passed. Everyone knows that the construction of these infrastructures is a good thing for them. The construction of these projects can increase their field production and make it easier for their goods to pass. Quartet!It's easy to handle if you don't have enough money. Everyone will reduce the amount in equal proportions, and it will take a few more years!Why do things that have been done for several years in one year!
After a month!The second session of the Four People's Congress successfully concluded!Except for the military, everyone is the winner of this meeting!
At the same time, in order to promote glass, Xu Wei distributed a crystal glass cup to each congressman, because Zhang Baiqi's glass beads began to be sold in Dahan Shizhou. The glass products that can be manufactured are all transported to Dahan and sold at the same time. In less than half a month, 7 million yuan was obtained, but the cost of these glass products is not even [-] yuan. It can be said that Zhang Baiqi I made a lot of money!It is because Zhang Baiqi's deception is over that Xu Wei's glass products can appear!
And this gift can be said to surprise these congressmen. In their three views, such a crystal glass can be called a treasure, and one meeting can get a treasure, which is too cost-effective!

At the same time, Xu Wei's glass greenhouse was also built in the suburbs of Jixian County, which shocked the entire group of people. Xu Wei said that it was a glass greenhouse, but to people in this world, this is completely a crystal palace, a former city. This unprecedented spectacle, in everyone's eyes, is like someone building a house with gold, which is simply extravagant. The Crystal Palace has also become the first spectacle in Daqian, and people will go to the suburbs of Ji County to watch it every day.

But the members of the big cadres know that when the ruling building such a crystal palace is only for growing vegetables, everyone's three views are shattered, and there is no such thing as buying pearls or not!

The beginning of the first year of Xingping in the Han Dynasty (194 AD)
Qingzhou, Beihai County!

Cao Cao took Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others to inspect the Sima mansions one by one, and inspect the situation of Qingzhou military households!The situation is still relatively good. Although the military household system has only been implemented for half a year, 15 households have become military households. He relied on Qingzhou to raise 15 troops with their own dry food!And this is not the limit, Cao Cao has already begun to imagine what he would look like when he had 30 troops.

For the people in Qingzhou, each household can be allocated 100 mu of land, and it is still high-quality irrigated land. This is like a pie as big as a house falling on their own heads. I didn't care too much about it. Most of the people are willing to pay a son to get 100 acres of land. Not to mention that they are only soldiers now, and they don't want their sons to die. In such a troubled world, there is nothing wrong with being a soldier. not good!

So at this time, Cao Cao's reputation in Qingzhou has increased sharply, and he has become Cao Qingtian among the people of Qingzhou!

After inspecting a Sima Mansion, Cao Cao said with a smile: "Next year, our army of [-] soldiers will be formed. If we train these soldiers for a year, the combat effectiveness of our Qingzhou Army will not be much worse than that of the Dagan Army!"

But Xun Yu said: "20 military households should be the limit of Qingzhou. Now there are only 40 households in Qingzhou. It is impossible for everyone to become military households. In addition to raising soldiers, we also need to maintain the operation of Qingzhou Prefecture. Find ways to build cities, build weapons and armor, all of which need money, and it is difficult for the people without taxation to maintain!"

Speaking of money, Cao Cao sighed and said: "Lei Gong is also very good at making money. He only occupies the land of the three states in Hebei, and he can actually receive 383 billion yuan in taxes a year, which is more than 10 times that of the former emperor's time." The imperial court paid taxes, but the first emperor controlled the entire thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, while Lei Gong only occupied three prefectures. Among them, Bingzhou and Youzhou still need the support of Jizhou to maintain their living. It is also the imperial court, why is there such a big gap? I really can't imagine, if Lei Gong really takes over the big man, how much will the Dagan court's financial revenue be?"

Guo Jia sneered and said: "It's hard to calculate how much it can be. Hebei has more than 5 million mu of land. Although Lei Gong reclaimed half of it, there are also a lot of wasteland in the remaining ten states of the Han Dynasty. Lei Gong should have reclaimed 10 billion mu of land. , that is to say, the whole Dahan can own 15 billion mu of land, and these lands average one shi, which is 15 billion shi of land a year. According to the calculation of 450% of the land tax, Lei Gong can receive 2250 million shi of grain. The price of dry grain is 100 billion yuan in land tax. According to the price of our big man, the wealth of [-] billion yuan is not much, that is, it is [-] times more than when the first emperor died of illness!

"100 times" Cao Cao was so shocked by this number that he almost lost his footing!

"But the lord knows that my big man can only receive 20-30 billion in taxes. The difference is the wealth swallowed up by the powerful clans of the big Han. Lei Gong killed all the powerful clans, divided the land among the common people, and collected the taxes directly from the common people. , Even if the common people in Dagan collect 7% of the tax, these common people don’t feel that the burden is heavy, because in the Han court and the elite families, 8-[-]% of the tax will be taken away from them.”

"But now all of these are gone. Lei Gong robbed all the interests of the powerful clans, and even divided the interests of the powerful clans with the people of Dagan. Even if he took 20%, the common people can still get [-]% of the wealth of the powerful clans. In this way, the people of Dagan naturally support him. It is precisely because of such a high tax that Lei Gong can form a standing army of [-], and at the same time, he is building a large-scale construction in Hebei, and the people will not feel tired!"

Cao Cao looked envious, he also wanted to lead the army to snatch all the money from the nobles in Qingzhou and kill them all, so that he would never have to share profits with the nobles in the future!Only through Lei Gong did he know how great the potential of the Han court was.

Cao Cao's father used to be the Da Si Nong of the Han Dynasty, who was in charge of the money and food of the entire Han Dynasty. He told Cao Cao that the registered land of the Han Dynasty exceeded 800 million hectares. There are 1000 million hectares of land. If these lands are taxed according to Lei Gong's method, even if the output is based on one mu per stone, the imperial court can receive 3 million shi of grain a year, and even if the grain is at the lowest price of 100 yuan per shi, the court will Every year, the land tax alone can receive 300 billion yuan.

If there were so much money in the period of the first emperor, the treasury would not be so empty that he could not even support a 10 army, and he would have to find ways to buy and sell officials to maintain the court!In fact, the imperial court rarely received even 30 billion yuan.At that time, Cao Cao didn't think there was anything wrong.

But when Lei Gong appeared, there were no powerful families in the three prefectures of Hebei, and the Daqian court collected taxes from households for the first time, and there were no middlemen who were greedy for ink. Cao Cao discovered for the first time that the original land tax could actually receive tens of billions or thousands of dollars. [-] million!It's just a shattered view!
The nobles of the big Han are too greedy, this is what Cao Cao thought in his mind when he knew that he was spending a lot of money.Lei Gong knew that he would share [-]-[-]% with the common people, and he only wanted [-]% of the share, while the nobles of the big man had [-]% share with the court.

For the first time, Cao Cao felt that the nobles of the big man were too greedy, and directly ate up the big man, so a troubled hero like Lei Gong appeared!
But Xun Yu said calmly: "Lei Gong's decree is not suitable for us in Qingzhou, not to mention that Qingzhou's elites have contributed 3000 million mu of land. We are inseparable from Qingzhou's elites!"

Although Cao Cao has a way to get 30 soldiers, the officers at the lower level of these soldiers are all members of the noble family, and the senior officers are also members of the noble family. Even Cao Cao himself is a nobleman. He and the nobleman are inseparable. It may be easy to cut off the connection and cut others, but it is very difficult to cut yourself, at least Cao Cao is difficult to do!

Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao and said with relief, "Rather than envy Lei Gong's strength, let's find a way to improve our own strength!"

"Judging from the news from Xiangyang, Liu Bei's attack on Yizhou is very fast. The officials in Yizhou can almost be said to have surrendered to Liu Bei's army. Liu Bei's 5 troops in the middle of Shu have not been reduced. , but increased to 8, I am afraid that Liu Zhang will not be able to survive this winter! The south of the big man is about to be pacified by Liu Bei, and there is not much time left for us!"
