Destiny Only Han

Listening to Liu Ying's 'speech nonsense', Xiao He was stunned for a moment, and the beard under his chin moved without any wind: "With such a high exchange rate, ten years of land rent, or even a lifetime of land rent is exempted? What a nonsense!"

After Xiao He finished speaking, Zhi Su Nei Shi Mang Hou Zhi (nài) Zhi, who was also called to listen, also nodded in agreement.

This person is Liu Bang's close friend when he was a ranger.

At that time, Liu Bang called himself Peigong, and under the order of King Jingju of Chu at that time, he fought with Sima Bian[niè] of the Qin army with Dongyang Ningjun. Because the Qin army had a large number of people and Dang County, a strong city, they used the method of adjusting the tiger away from the mountain. The strategy is to feign defeat first, lure the main force of the Qin army to pursue, and then concentrate its forces to storm Dang County to cut off the Qin army's food and grass.

And the position that Tu Zhi held at that time was the gate lieutenant in charge of guarding the city gate treasury.

Therefore, Liu Bang was able to capture Dang County with ease. Not only did he recruit thousands of soldiers from the Qin army, but he also obtained all the weapons, armor, food and supplies in the treasury of Dang County.

Because of this, although Tu Zhi had no ability, when Liu Bang destroyed Qin and stationed troops in Bashang to reward meritorious officials, Tu Zhi was granted the title of Wu Dingjun, and he was on an equal footing with Cao Can, who was still a Jiancheng monarch at that time!
After the world was settled, Tu Zhi was conferred the title of Marquis Mang, and served as one of the Nine Ministers to govern millet internal history.

The internal history of Zhisu is similar to the Shangshu of the household department of later generations, so Tu Zhi agrees with Xiao He's point that he thinks that Liu Ying is not in charge of the family and does not know the cost of firewood and rice. He can accept the exemption of land rent for three or five years, but absolutely not for ten years. .

After all, opening up wasteland is not an easy task, even if Liu Yingte refers to the Yinchuan Plain or other loess plateaus close to the Yellow River, which are easy to irrigate and have thick and soft soil layers.

On the other side, Lu Shizhi met Zhang Liang's inquiring gaze and shook his head vigorously to express that he had no knowledge.

Well, when the collective ownership system was transformed back then, the cattle and sheep were distributed to private individuals, but the pastures were still publicly owned, so the herdsmen expanded the number of livestock no matter what, so as to make a fortune.

The former can only come slowly, but the latter can be immediate.

Therefore, the conditions restricting the expansion of the Han people in the wilderness are actually the problems of population growth and uneven population distribution.

Just kidding, in this period when poll tax accounted for at least half of the source of tax revenue, if you want to migrate people from Guanzhong on a large scale, you will undoubtedly cut flesh from his internal history!

But in the world of family and country, state-owned is family-owned!
Liu Ying smiled all over her face, looked at Xiao He who was still doubtful, and said, "The teacher must also want to say that if the farmers pay the land rent and the herdsmen don't, it will inevitably cause the former's dissatisfaction, so I think so."

After all, "Laozi" once said that the way of heaven is like drawing a bow!Those who are high suppress it, those who are low lift it up, those who have excess damage it, and those who are deficient give it. The way of heaven damages the excess and makes up for the deficiency.Humanity is not the case, there is not enough damage, and there is more than enough to give.Who can have more than enough to serve the world?There is only Tao.

Others don't know, but Liu Ying knows that the warm and rainy climate can't last for many years now. If the Hetao grassland is converted into farmland rashly, not only will it be impossible to grow crops when the rainfall is scarce, but it will cause desertification, which will lead to soil and water pollution. The loss caused the sediment concentration of the Yellow River to increase sharply, eventually causing the Yellow River to flood downstream, and people may be fish and turtles!

After all, for those families of five with [-] acres of land, it is not difficult to pay the land rent of [-] taxes, and the head tax is the biggest burden, accounting for more than half of their family's annual income!
Well, Liu Bang has a deep understanding of this point. Before he became the King of Han, in order to avoid taxes, Liu Fei actually had no household registration and belonged to a black household who evaded taxes...

As a result, while controlling desertification, the pastures were allocated to private individuals, and the number of livestock exceeded the maximum capacity of the grasslands, which gradually disappeared.

"Although the pastures do not pay land rent, they can set up state-owned purchasing stations in pastoral areas, responsible for purchasing herdsmen's cattle and sheep, as well as derivatives such as wool and leather at market prices."

"So five thousand acres of grassland is not enough to make people rich and powerful..."

Well, although Chang'an is prosperous, Xinfeng City is a paradise on earth, but this is the case for the rich, and for ordinary people who wish to break a copper plate into two halves, what does the world of flowers have to do with them ?

"Selling wool and leather naturally collects commercial tax according to the law. The herdsmen must understand this. After all, this is a law that has been passed across the country long ago. When selling cattle and sheep, each animal needs to be registered, so stamp duty is charged, otherwise it will be It is considered illegal and punished according to the law!"

But here is the Han Dynasty, and there is no land in the world, and the valuable things in the ground obviously do not belong to the users of the land, but to the owner of the land, that is, the Han government.

So Xiao He twirled his beard and looked at Liu Ying with a smile on his face, with an expression of "getting the best talents in the world and teaching them".

However, Liu Bang thought about it for a while, and felt that what Liu Ying said was a bit messy.

If it was in the past, the productivity was underdeveloped, it would be in vain, but now iron tools are very common. A plow pulled by two oxen plows at least five mu of land a day, and if horses are used, it will be increased by at least [-]%!

After all, under the law of the Han Dynasty, even the lowest-ranking officials were granted a hundred acres of land. If they moved to the north, they could get a thousand acres of land. From an ordinary farmer to a farmer!
Then, whether it is because the income is high enough to support them, or because their fields need someone to take care of them, farmers will inevitably have more children, from five per capita to ten per capita...

"In this way, the farmers will definitely not have any objections... Anyway, taxation is taken from the people and used by the people, and the herdsmen who are overtaxed will not have any objections... After all, when the country builds roads for them You never asked for their money, did you?"

After all, people are money!

I?It seems that this old man supports me... Liu Ying looked at Liu Bang tacitly, and said seriously: "Returning to Your Majesty, it is natural that father and son inherit each other. As long as the use of the grassland is not changed, and the grassland is turned into farmland privately, then the grassland will be transformed into farmland." No land rent."

After all, the inland economy has taken off, and the demand for beef and mutton is increasing day by day, and the grassland is publicly owned, and the public's advantages are not taken for nothing, which has caused a large area of ​​grassland to degenerate, and the billowing dust is almost killing the big city in the north. buried...

Of course, if there are mines below, that's another story.

Of course, there is no shortage of impressions after reading those [-] articles. This involves the dignity of teachers...

Over the past few years, the manors in Guanzhong have proved with practical actions that breeding is more profitable than planting. If you earn more, you will naturally have to pay more taxes.

For ordinary people, instead of struggling in their hometown, it is better to go to the north. It is not only a change of life, but also an opportunity to overtake in curves.

Therefore, for those lands that are not in irrigated areas, it is better to treat them as pastoral areas.

Naturally, there will be more poll tax, and more familiar land, and there will be a cornerstone for tax reform... Liu Bang thought for a while, cleared his throat, and asked Liu Ying, who was watching the old god:
"I can understand the tax exemption of agricultural land for ten years. Why should it be exempted from tax for life when it is replaced by pastures? What is life? Is it inherited from father to son, or for life for one generation?"

Hearing this, Xiao He nodded lightly, feeling that the 'reclamation order' proposed by Liu Ying was not the result of a slap on the head.

For example, those low-income people who migrated from the overcrowded Guanzhong went to the north to open up wasteland and cultivate.

Ten years is enough to solidify the class.

This is mainly because he and Liu Ying discussed the issue of taxation, that is, the land taxpayer. The policy of ignoring land rent and emphasizing poll tax will undoubtedly curb population growth.

So he said with a cold face: "According to this, after the decree is promulgated, the people will definitely return the fields enthusiastically and exchange them for pastures in the north. After all, it is [-] to [-] mu of land and [-] mu of grassland!"

The difference between a full meal and a full meal is very clear even to herdsmen who are not very literate.

Well, it's normal for those guys to graze and make money for other people's family in the end... Liu Ying's mouth raised inexplicably, and she continued to say as she looked at Xiao He who was full of confusion:
"The rent of farmland is mainly in kind. Wheat, rice, and millet are harvested, and drafts (straw) are also harvested. What do you harvest in the pasture? Grass seeds or weeds? Well, weeds can be harvested, but there is only a few dollars, and it seems haggling. Petty..."

Therefore, before the tax reform, giving some benefits to these small people will increase the growth rate of the population to a certain extent. After all, if there are more fields, the family income will also increase, and they will be able to support more children.

Liu Ying shook her head and said with a smile: "The teacher doesn't know something. The harvest of one acre of farmland can barely support one person, but one acre of grassland can only support one sheep, and it takes almost [-] yuan to feed a herdsman's family of five." Three hundred sheep, and other livestock such as cattle and horses."

Of course, some herdsmen who received compensation for land expropriation ate, drank, prostituted and gambled. While Hohhot’s economy took off, it also became the largest luxury car trading market in the north.

Liu Bang has seen it both to the north and to the south, and his memory of the vast land and sparsely populated, desolate scene is still fresh.

Therefore, Liu Ying's statement is very in line with the way of heaven, and it is also in line with the Huang-Lao theory that Xiao He has always admired.

Zhou Ke looked left and right, especially when he saw Liu Bang's happy expression, so he didn't say a word. Anyway, the reclamation order does not force the people to return their fields...

Xiao He clenched his fists, planning to give Liu Ying [-] more post-reading essays until the next holiday, to let him know what the dignity of a teacher is!

Well, the main reason is not to force them, who own a large amount of land, to withdraw their fields, so when those poor people leave their fields, the vacant fields cannot be left idle...

After all, the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system. Since Qin Shihuang ordered "make the head of Guizhou from real land", the government has no longer restricted land mergers in essence. As long as you have a title, you can legally occupy the land stipulated by the title.

These nobles, there are not a few or dozens of relatives who have nobles but do not occupy a lot of land under their names.

Therefore, this is also an opportunity for them!

Liu Ying looked at Zhou Ke who was silently calculating and also smiled. The son of heaven is a herdsman on behalf of the sky. How can the people be killed if they are not fat?
