Destiny Only Han

"Open your eyes?"

Xiao He sneered, with a look of disdain on his face: "Good tone, don't be afraid that the wind will flash your tongue!"

Liu Ying stuck out her tongue, proving that her tongue was normal, and immediately continued amidst Xiao He's dumbfounding:

"Confucius said that food and sex are also sexual. Although the Confucian scholars are so pedantic, there is nothing wrong with this statement. These uncles in Liyang City have risked arrows and sprinkled blood, and finally obtained the titles and food towns they are today. If we say that they Now I don’t want to enjoy it in my heart, I’m afraid it’s impossible, right?”

"And Li Kui once said that one man with five families manages a hundred acres of land, and the annual harvest is one and a half stones per mu, which is one hundred and fifty stones of millet. Even though the yield per mu has increased a lot, it only depends on the income from the little land and food towns under his name. , how can we support Zhongming Dingshi Family?"

"Naturally, we must seek to expand the family business, such as buying more land..."

Xiao He nodded. He didn't think there was anything wrong with buying more land. Anyway, with the advancement of iron smelting technology and Li Kui's reform, land became a commodity that could be bought and sold freely. No matter what your status is, you will always want to buy more land.

Well, the landlord class also rose because of this.

"But most of the land will not generate wealth. Someone must work on it, so that the land can continuously generate income..."

"So once you have land, you will think about raising the population."

Liu Ying said here, paused for a moment and said:
"I remember my teacher once said that Qin State's [-]-level military merit system is not a simple system of conferring rewards for meritorious service. The military merit system actually involves all aspects of everyone and is the foundation of the country's operations."

"Nowadays I am a big man going to the old Dingxin. Although there have been many changes, I still use this set of military merit system. I use the county and state to control the world, and use the military merit system to mobilize everyone under the emperor. Concentrate on The outside guards against the captives, and the inside seeks no ministers!"

The corner of Xiao He's mouth raised a smile, he wanted to praise Liu Ying, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up, this brat was already very proud, if he complimented him a few more times, his tail would not stand up to the sky!

Liu Ying didn't know what Xiao He was thinking, but she just said to herself: "From the students' point of view, the military system is excellent. From the emperor to the head of Guizhou, it is a complete and smooth line, and there are no middlemen who make the difference... ..."

"People with different titles can obtain different amounts of wealth from the state, such as land and slaves. Although the property under the name of Qianshou is small, it has the endorsement of the state, and it is the state's administrative power that provides protection."

"Although the title of Qianshou is not comparable to that of a Marquis, within the framework of the law, this Marquis has no right to infringe on all the legitimate rights and interests of Qianshou, such as the right to personal freedom."

"The so-called crown prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people!"

Xiao He's brows tightened and then relaxed. At first he thought that Liu Ying had been led astray by some legal remnants, but when he heard the sentence 'the prince broke the law and the common people are the same crime', he immediately felt relieved.

This is Huang Lao's idea.

"Under the system of military meritorious service, the head of Guizhou is the head of the country, and the princes are the princes of the country, especially the former. They can only be subordinate to the country, not to anyone else."

"After all, the bulk of the current tax revenue actually comes from poll taxes such as oral taxation..."

When Liu Ying said this, she met Xiao He's sharp eyes and hurriedly said, "Teacher, don't look at me like this. I have paid every tax I should have paid. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check!"

Anyway, you can't find out if there is a problem... Liu Ying whispered in her heart, and said immediately:

"Nowadays, I am a big man who is waiting for prosperity. In order to encourage reclamation and cultivation, the land rent has been reduced from the original ten tax one to fifteen tax one. I heard that the teacher is drafting a plan to adjust the land rent to twenty tax one. Documents..."

"Although this kind of national policy is good, it is a double-edged sword in the eyes of students. The policy of low land rent will lead to a result, that is, whoever owns more land will benefit more!"

"Especially for those local tyrants who occupy a large amount of land!"

"And those self-cultivating farmers who only have a small piece of land will have to sell the land under their own name because of their poor ability to resist risks, and then go bankrupt directly..."

"After bankruptcy, although there is no longer a need to pay land rent, the population tax cannot be avoided. The main property is gone, but the main burden is still there. Bankrupt farmers either become rogues and rob them wherever they go; Slaves from other people's families get rid of taxes and corvee at the cost of losing their personal freedom."

"Over time, as more and more self-cultivated farmers go bankrupt, the country's taxes will no longer be collected, but the country's expenditures will not be reduced. With the ebb and flow, the country is not far from bankruptcy..."

Xiao He was stunned for a moment, and explained: "You are worrying unnecessarily! People can't give up eating because of choking. Even though this national policy has advantages and disadvantages, as long as the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, it must be implemented."

"For the head of Guizhou, when the land rent has dropped, they will have the motivation to reclaim wasteland. Only by gaining more income through the newly added land can they reduce their burden and pay the poll tax levied by the imperial court."

"As for the local tyrants you mentioned who occupy a large number of land and population because of this, they can pass the law of population migration in a few years and let them spit out everything they eat!"

Liu Ying tilted her head, and a joke flashed across her face: "Teacher, you copied my plan!"

Xiao He raised his hand and gave him a headache, and laughed and cursed: "The subordinate's credit goes to the superior, and the student's plan naturally belongs to the teacher!"

Liu Ying put her hands on her hips: "Teacher, why are you acting like my father now?"

Xiao He's face was filled with joy: "Naturally, people flock together... Well, this law might as well be called Qian Hao Ling!"

Liu Ying shook her head and didn't say much. He has seen a lot of things that are full of ideals and very skinny in reality. In this human society, the order of Qianhao will definitely not last for too long.

And the hardest bones are those people who have blood relationship with the ministers!
The second generation of power is the most difficult...

The second generation of a certain power, who considers himself a member of the proletarian vanguard, raised his head: "So what I have been doing is to divert everyone's attention from farming!"

"A hundred mu of land supports a family, but if a hundred mu of land is built into a workshop, the income is more than a hundred times that of farming!"

"In this way, when everyone starts to pursue more efficient ways to make money, they will naturally not invest their limited money in merging land!"

"Well, at this time, it will be easier to fight against those tycoons who annexed the land!"

Liu Ying didn't explain why it was easier, but Xiao He understood it instantly, so she twirled her beard and laughed lightly.

He is now the Prime Minister of the Great Han Empire, ranking above the left and right prime ministers, truly one person under ten thousand people, so what he thinks about is how to spend his life smoothly and keep the family inheritance, not go further.

The most important thing is that his eldest son Xiao Lu, as Liu Ying's prince's family order, will not be said to become the prime minister of the Han Empire like him in the future if he does not make mistakes, but at least the position of Jiuqing is no problem.

And his second son, Xiao Tong, is already an official member of Shangxiantang. While helping Liu Ying and the court officials to make money, he also made a lot of money. At least he can let the entire Xiao family rest and eat. Two lifetimes!

After having no desires and no desires, Xiao He's position was on the side of Liu Ying and Liu Bang.

..............................

Qi country.

The summer harvest has begun, and Qidi, like Guanzhong, has enjoyed a bumper harvest this year.

But some are happy and some are sad.

Since the government announced the order to relocate the Tian family's noble family, a large number of officers and soldiers in battle armor and armed with strong crossbows, led by the grassroots cowards and pavilion chiefs, broke into the Tian family's manor and forcibly registered the population, cattle and sheep. And other livestock and poultry.

So during that time, the markets in more than [-] counties in Qidi suddenly became crowded and crowded.

The one that attracted the most attention was the slave trade.

But beyond everyone's expectations, from the very beginning, the slave trade has frequently suffered cold weather, buying less and seeing more, and the entire market has experienced abnormal cold weather.

Most importantly, almost every day, the transaction price of slaves will be reduced by hundreds of dollars.

Nowadays, those vassals who are physically forced and have skills have been reduced from the original seven or eight thousand yuan to more than 3000 yuan...

And the ones with the most severe price cuts are those concubines with enchanting bodies who, in addition to working, also need to warm the master's bed on weekdays.

Two thousand dollars, buy a daughter and give away a mother!

Just as upset as the slave market, there was also the cattle and horse market, as well as the land transactions that almost no one cared about.

Under Cao Shen's interpretation of the court's laws and regulations, when calculating family assets, properties such as farmland, houses, and slaves and livestock must be counted, while copper coins, gold and silver are not included.

Therefore, many members of the Tian family who were registered and ordered to migrate to Guanzhong are trying to turn their property into money. normal thing now.

But unlike the others who were watching, Zhao Yao, who was backed by the mint that urgently minted copper coins, wished he could turn into tens of millions, so that he could appear in more than [-] counties under the jurisdiction of Qi State at the same time...

However, after so many days, the copper coins and gold bricks he brought did not consume too much. What consumed the most were actually some beautifully shaped booklets.

room book.

These house books correspond to the planned houses in the new city.

After all, the arms can't twist the thighs. In order to let the whole family have a tile to cover their heads in Guanzhong, even if the premium is very high, they can only accept it!
It's a pity that Liu Ying is too busy now, and the sales department has not been completed yet...

At this moment, Zhao Yao was riding on a horse and hurried back to the branch of Shangxiantang in Linzi City. Suddenly, his eyes blurred, and a clothes-hanging pole fell in front of him.

He raised his head, and saw a face of happiness and anger in the window of the small building facing the street.

However, Mr. Zhao did not stay too long, but continued to leap away with his whip.
