As I said before, the taxation of the Great Chu Empire is divided into two types: land rent and poll tax. The poll tax is 12 taels per year for adults, 2 taels per year for children, and 3 taels for adults who participate in corvee service that year.

As for land rent, [-]% of the grain is generally collected as rent, and [-]% of this is delivered to the landlord free of charge.

Of course, taxes during the Taihe period were more stringent than this.

People at the bottom of the food chain have no right to complain, they can only be forced to accept this system.

At this time, Li Yewu spoke of a system completely different from those of the superiors.

She said that they will live in those planned big houses, and they will also plant the planned fields, and they will be exempted from corvee and tax for the first three years, and the harvest will be purchased at the world price.

This so-called "two-sided full collection" policy is simply a pie in the sky. Anyone who hears it will say "impossible, who is fooling".

Seeing the disbelief on everyone's faces, Li Yewu smiled: "I don't need to lie to you. The houses are all built and the fields are divided. Is there any fake? Mr. Feng Shui can lie to you for ten or eight years, but I You will know the authenticity as soon as you submit the application.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if there is a pit in front of you, you can live in a spacious house for free, and you can also be exempted from corvee and tax. Even if it is a fire pit, it is worth jumping into, right?

By the way, there is another point to be emphasized. We only drove out two villages during this period, that is, 400 households. If we miss it, we can only wait for the next time.

Apply early and enjoy early, think for yourself. "

This time, the response to Li Yewu was no longer silent, and everyone started asking questions.

"Is it true that no land rent and taxes are collected?"

"No! If you are worried, I can ask Yin Cui to be a witness. If I charge you any taxes and land rent in the past three years, you can go to the Yamen to sue the king."

Xiao Jiuxi:? ? ?

The refugees thought for a while and felt that this was indeed the case.

Of course, they never admitted that it was this beautiful big house that attracted them.

A small part of the crowd has already gone to the city silently. Obviously, they are going to the government office to apply.

However, most people are still more suspicious and hesitant. They did not move and continued to ask the bottom line:
"What about in three years?"

"With so many bandits around, isn't it dangerous for us to come to the western suburbs?"

"The system after three years will be discussed in three years, but I can assure you that even collecting rent is just for fun, and it must be lower than what you have to pay now.

As for the safety issue, we have set up a bodyguard team of 5000 people, who will patrol frequently to ensure everyone's safety to the greatest extent. "

As soon as Li Yewu said this, some people silently rushed to the Yamen.

The 400 houses were quickly applied for, and many of the latecomers had no seats.

Li Yewu was not in a hurry, and asked those who wanted to join to register first, and arrangements would be made after the completion of the second and third phases.

In this way, all 400 households in the first-phase demonstration village were fully recruited, and based on the calculation of 8 people per household, the first-phase project solved the employment and livelihood of 3200 people in total.

Although these 80 people are only a very small part of the 3000 people, it doesn't matter. Someone has set a precedent, and the follow-up will be easy to advance. Li Yewu is full of confidence in the future.

However, the refugees accepted Li Yewu's offer, but the four major families couldn't sit still.

"Is the princess trying to smash our jobs?"

"She made such a policy, what shall we do in the future!"

After finally waiting for the cancellation of benefits in Prince Shang's Mansion, everyone was ready to absorb a large amount of labor. As a result, Princess Shang introduced this so-called "double-sided full collection" benefit, not only sending houses and fields, but also recycling food at market prices.

She is so curly, what should they do?
Originally, a large number of their labor force was being lost, but since the introduction of new policies by Princess Shang, many people have left their fields.

Farmers are not stupid. Working for the landlord, they have to pay [-]% of the grain as land rent every year, and they have to pay all taxes and corvees.

Going to Li Yewu's side is completely different. Not only are rent-free and tax-free, but also a house is given away, so the fool continues to stay.

Ever since, the tenants in the hands of the four major families ran away more than before.

Xiao Jiuxi's welfare only affected the number of tenants of the four major families, and now Li Yewu's "double exemption and full collection" directly shakes the foundation of the four major families' fields.

The rich man couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately interviewed Li Yewu while taking advantage of his anger.

Li Yewu, who was busy with the second phase of the project, was temporarily invited to the Sifang Restaurant, and the four big families in front of her began to bombard her before she sat down.

"Princess, what you did is not only harming your own interests, but also greatly affecting us! I also hope that you will take back your life and abolish the double exemption!"

"That's right, if you stay like this, everyone can't live a life, so why bother?"

Li Yewu looked at them calmly for a long time before slowly asking: "If I remember correctly, the heads of the families don't seem to live by farming, do they?"

The Sifang Patriarch is a wine shop tycoon, the cowardly Liu Patriarch monopolizes the fabric industry, the Mu Family deals in jewellery, and the silent Xu Patriarch handles groceries.

They took advantage of the collapse of the Taihe Kingdom to buy a lot of land. Although they were landlords, the farm was not their main source of life.

Despite the fact, who wants to earn less?At any rate, the food can be sold to Shang Wangfu at a high price.

But now King Shang's mansion just farmed the land by themselves, and took away their tenants, how can this work?
Especially when she had a showdown with Li Yewu, she still refused to admit it with an innocent face, which could kill her anger.

The feeling of being choked to death by this girl's words when the four masters went to the door to collect debts came back again.

Speaking of which, the 800 million that Shang Wang owed before was reorganized by her into 600 million. Now this girl won't make another mistake, right?

It is absolutely impossible for them to give up the farm, and they will definitely defend it to the end.

Therefore, the four of them are upright and strict.

"Princess, although we have other livelihoods, we cannot do without this field. Although my wine shop is a mediocre business, it cannot do without the supply of rice. My family's field is very important!"

"Although I don't have a restaurant business, the workers in my workshop still have to eat. If the supply of the farm is not enough, it will also have a great impact on us."

"Although we don't have a wine shop or a workshop, there are people at home. Relatives and followers must eat all year round, and even if we don't eat, the yamen will eat it? Usually most of our food is supplied to the yamen .”

"Princess, you can't just care about yourself. Originally, with you joining in the land reclamation, Taihe Prefecture should not have to worry about food this year. But you have run us all out, won't you go back to the original point? There is still not enough food. "

Li Yewu couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the words of the crowd: "I run you one by one, I make it impossible for you to survive, the more I listen to it, the more I feel wronged, when did I run you off? You are not allowed to farm?"
