The heavens start from saving Daming

If it is said that the agricultural tax that was previously exempted from the thirty-one tax for farmers, the attraction is not as great as imagined.

After Li Yunze directly exempted the children from the oral tax, and exempted the unscrupulous households from the calculation tax, the impact was no less than a poached egg.

You must know the price level of the big man at this time, a stone of wheat millet is only two hundred yuan.

Because of decades of peace, the population of Han people has increased significantly.

It is not uncommon for a family to have more than ten members.

If everyone pays the tax, it means that every year just to calculate the tax, one or two yuan will be paid.

For peasant households, it is one or two taels of tax payment every year, which can be said to be heavy.

After all, although the income of farmers is not low, usually one mu of landed grain is about two or three stones, which is more than 200 catties if converted to modern measurement units.

Corn costs more than [-] yuan per stone, and an average family can own dozens or even hundreds of acres of land before large-scale land mergers begin.

Calculated in this way, thousands or even more than [-] catties of grain a year does not seem to be too small.

Accounts are not calculated that way.

There are a large number of people in the family, and everyone has to eat. This will consume a large part of the grain, and enough grain must be reserved.

After all, 'starve parents, don't eat grain'.

When the remaining grain is sold, even the average price is less than [-] yuan a stone when faced with profiteers.

What farmers need in life is not just food.

You can grow hemp, grow mulberry and weave cloth by yourself, but what about salt?What about farm tools?What about seeing a doctor and taking medicine when you are sick?Do you want to eat meat or drink?What about red and white?

These piles of piles are piece by piece, which one doesn't cost money?
By the way, there are corvees.

The common people have to serve corvee every year. Not only do they have to bear their own food and clothing, but they also need to have money to survive during the corvee.

Taking these expenses into account, Li Yunze's exemption from oral taxation and the calculation of taxation from black households is extremely important.

With household registration, the children of black households can go to work in an upright manner, join the army, and work in the fields without having to go in the middle of the night, fearing that they will be arrested by the yamen.

It is precisely because of this that when Li Yunze increased the conditions for investing in land, more people couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to go to the Yamen to handle the documents for investing in land.

This is not that the emperor directly snatched the people's land, but only owned it in name, in order to cut off the annexation of the land.

Because it is the land of the emperor in name, it is the property of the emperor to annex it.

Strictly speaking, it is a big rebellion!
Some people who were not reconciled spread rumors among the people, saying that the emperor wanted to take away the fields of the people, which indeed caused a lot of turmoil and trouble.

But Zhang Tang never gets used to these things, Zhidu is busy outside, and Zhang Tang is in charge of the criminal department for the time being.

People from the Ministry of Punishment arrested people everywhere, and after they were caught, they would be interrogated in the former Tingwei Yamen, and now in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and a series of people and families would be involved in the interrogation.

When it comes to killing Haoqiang, Zhang Tang's hands will definitely not be weaker than Zhidu.

Once the killing is started, even bird nests, egg yolks, earthworms, chickens and dogs will not be spared.

As for why these big households objected, it was naturally because they wanted land annexation.

As for why land mergers are required, of course it is because land is the most important means of production in the agricultural era.

Where there is land, there are tenants. With land and tenants, one can be the emperor of the land and wait for the right time.

As for the loss of the emperor and the imperial court, whether the world will be in chaos because of this, these tyrants can't wait for the world to be in chaos, so they will have a chance.

Food is never enough.

Due to the lack of meat and fat supplements, it is not uncommon for ordinary people to eat a catty of carbohydrates for a meal in this era.

As for why not go hunting.
Hehe, the mountains, rivers, lakes, and woods all over the world belong to the Son of Heaven, so naturally those animals also belong to the Son of Heaven.

Go hunting without the emperor's permission
In fact, Li Yunze is already preparing to open this restriction as a way of encouragement for the next round.

Li Yunze didn't care about other things.Only land annexation is a Pandora's box, and nothing can open it.

Once the land annexation starts, it means that the dynasty has entered the countdown to destruction.

There are many emperors who understand this in history, but they are powerless to resist the opposition of powerful interest groups. Even if the reform is successful temporarily, they will still be overthrown after death.

Only a time traveler like Li Yunze has the ability and perseverance to complete this matter to the end.

Of course, another very important reason is that Li Yunze is not afraid of being 'dissolved in water'.

The usual tactic of splashing dirty water and cursing people in the civil service group is ineffective against the thick-skinned Li Yunze.

Li Yunze is powerful and not afraid of black hands that dissolve in water or something.

Now that Li Yunze is in Dahan, basically no one can control him.

If Empress Dowager Dou is still alive, or if Jia Ji is still alive, then there is room for manipulation. After all, the great man governs the country with filial piety.

It's a pity that everyone is dead, so they can't rush into the mausoleum and lift them out to suppress Li Yunze.

After the autumn harvest, Li Yunze took people out to inspect the harvest.

When they came to the vicinity of Baling Town to check the autumn harvest, people sent by Zhang Tang caught up with Li Yunze, saying that they had something important to report.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the traitor Liu Dingguo is calling for injustice in prison."

Liu Dingguo was escorted to Chang'an City in advance, and once he arrived here, Li Yunze decreed that his title of King of Yan should be abolished first.

The current Liu Dingguo is just the traitor Liu Dingguo, not the King of Yan Liu Dingguo anymore.

"Calling for injustice?" Li Yunze on the horse was a little puzzled, "What is wrong with him?"

Zhang Tang's envoy hurriedly responded, "Your Majesty, the traitor Liu Dingguo said that he did wrong things because he was bewitched by Liu An's daughter Liu Ling. He said it was all Liu Ling's fault, and he was just bewitched."

"Ah."

Li Yunze didn't bother to say anything anymore, and waved his hand directly, "Tell Zhang Tang, deal with it according to the law."

If it is dealt with according to the law, Liu Dingguo's treasonous behavior in collusion with the Huns should be punished by being torn apart.

Of course, Li Yunze was merciful and abolished torture, only beheading was enough.

In fact, according to Liu Dingguo's status as King of Yan, Bai Ling's poisoned wine could have left a whole body, but Li Yunze was unwilling to give him this dignity.

This time the Xiongnu invaded and harmed the country of Yan, countless people died tragically, and tens of thousands were plundered out of the fortress.

Just beheading him is already saving him a lot of face.

After sending away the envoys, Li Yunze simply got off his horse and led a group of officials and palace guards into the nearby village on foot.

The village is not too big, just a hundred or so families.

At this time, the autumn harvest is over, and the yards of every household are full of grain packed in sacks.

Seeing such a bountiful harvest, Li Yunze also smiled.

In fact, the grain output of Dahan is not low in this era.

First of all, the mu of the big man is different from that of the later generations. It is only about 70.00% of that of the later generations, which belongs to the small mu.

And he also knows how to use retting fertilizer, coupled with intensive cultivation, he can basically maintain the average yield per mu at more than 200 catties.

You must know that in the Roman Empire at this time, except for the fertile Italy, the grain production in other places was not even a hundred catties per mu.

It's just that things like food will never be enough to eat in the face of a rapidly growing population.

"The three agricultural fertilizers, retting fertilizer can only be regarded as a weakened version of nitrogen fertilizer, and the other two fertilizers are still lacking."

"Plant ash can be used as a weakened version of potassium fertilizer, but what about phosphate fertilizer?"

Li Yunze knew about phosphate fertilizers, and the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, known as the land of fish and rice, had more production than those in the north. One of the important reasons was that there were more fish and shrimp in the paddy fields.

Fish and shrimp are typical organic phosphate fertilizers.

It is precisely because there are many fish and shrimps in the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River that there is a high yield of the local fields.

But where do the bones and meat of so many fish and shrimp animals come from in the north?

Unless it is possible to find natural phosphate rock.
Li Yunze frowned and pondered, thinking of a solution for Dahan's agriculture, when he was awakened by the sound of quarreling from the threshing ground in the village.

Didn't say anything, just went to see what happened.

"One stone of corn is 180 and five qian, not more than a qian."

On the threshing ground, merchants surrounded by many villagers stood on carts and shouted loudly, "If you are willing to sell, bring grain, and if you are unwilling, don't ask for words."

"How can it be so cheap?" Some villagers shouted angrily, "Last year it was 210 yuan a stone."

"Last year was last year." The grain merchant who led the team responded casually, "This year is this year. This year's grain harvest is bumper, and there are grains to be sold everywhere. Naturally, the price is low. The emperor will not charge your land tax. It is everywhere. If you want to sell grain, where can you get it?

If you want to sell grain, it will rot at home. "

There are also villagers shouting, "Others collect more than [-] yuan for grain."

"Then you go find someone else to sell grain." The grain merchant looked impatient, "I'm leaving?"

The villagers were angry, but there was nothing they could do.

There are many places where people need to spend money when they are alive. After gradually saying goodbye to the era of barter, the value of currency is more and more reflected.

In this case, the villagers can only use their main harvest to exchange for currency, and then to buy other commodities.

And the price difference between selling and buying has become a good opportunity for many merchants to make a fortune.

The phrase 'cheap grain hurts the peasants, expensive rice hurts the people' refers to this situation.

Grain merchants who have mastered the purchase channels can suppress prices without any scruples, thereby earning more profits.

Merchants, in order to make money, they can really abandon everything, and naturally there will be no such thing as conscience.

Looking at the villagers with aggrieved faces, the grain merchant standing on the cart was very proud.

'The Son of Heaven does not collect land tax, which is cheaper for me. '

Li Yunze did not collect grain tax, but the Shaofu had a large area of ​​Huangzhuang, and the grain produced by these Huangzhuang was enough to supply the salaries of the officials and the grain needs of the army.

Moreover, Li Yunze is also reforming government affairs. In the future, the salaries of officials will gradually change from food and other materials to money distribution, reducing the demand for food.

The output of Huangzhuang will mainly be used by the army in the future and used to feed those big animals.

It's just that they didn't expect that the grain merchants seized the opportunity to lower the price despite their good intentions.

"You can't go."

Li Yunze's cold voice came, carrying a cold killing intent.
