Chapter 118 Occupying Penglai 12
"These landowners are really stubborn. Have you properly publicized it to them? Even if the farmland is left uncultivated, you still have to pay taxes, and if it is left uncultivated for two consecutive years, it will be confiscated?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"The publicity has been in place. Those whose land exceeds [-] acres have been given leaflets, and those whose land exceeds [-] acres have been given copies of the "Xinghan League Land Law." Some officials said that those landowners would rather farm their own land for a year If it is empty for a year, they are not willing to rent it to tenants cheaply, and the annual tax is only [-]%, which they can afford," Luo Cheng replied.

"These landlords have not joined the Xinghan League, can't we impose heavy taxes on them?" Luo Gao couldn't help asking after hearing this: "This will make them submit."

Luo Gao has been studying government affairs with Luo Cheng recently, but he still looks immature.

"That's okay, but it's a bad idea. If you do this, it's basically the same as confiscating their land. It's not time to use this method yet." Liu Xinqi replied, and then asked Luo Cheng : "How has the investigation of the unclaimed wasteland been in the past month or so? How many acres are available?"

"Dengzhou currently has 170 million acres of registered cultivated land. According to a preliminary survey this month, there are 200 million acres of unowned land that is suitable for land reclamation. There is plenty of wasteland." Luo Cheng replied: "However, the harvest will be very large in the first few years of land reclamation. Low, it’s possible to make ends meet.”

"No problem, supporting landless farmers to open up wasteland is a way to open up money. In the long run, the benefits to the government will be huge. According to the previous policy, whoever opens up wasteland belongs to them. It is tax-free for the first three years, and the government can provide up to five Two special interest-free loans for land reclamation, this loan will be interest-free for the first five years, and from the sixth year onwards, the annual interest will be [-]%." Liu Xinqi arranged.

"Okay, we will announce the news tomorrow." Luo Cheng responded.

"Are there any casualties caused by the conflict today?" Liu Xinqi asked again.

"No, because you have explained that everything is voluntary and the landlord is not forced to sign a land lease agreement, so there is basically no conflict." Luo Cheng replied, and then asked: "How will the summer grain be collected this year? According to the previous tax, or Just charge [-]% of the new one?"

"Everyone is treated equally, and only [-]% of the tax revenue will be collected. When the news of land reclamation is announced tomorrow, it will be announced simultaneously that all farmers who have sworn to join the Xinghan League, regardless of whether they have renewed the land lease agreement with the landlord, their summer grain planting on the land they cultivate this year will be in accordance with the signed According to the agreement, landlords can only collect up to [-]% of the land rent. As for the future, it will be up to each individual to see if they can recruit tenants who are willing to pay the highland rent." Liu Xinqi replied: "This summer grain, the landlord cannot collect it before the grain is harvested. The land belonging to the tenants of the Xinghan League, and the interests of the farmers who join the Xinghan League are protected by our Xinghan League."

……

June [-]nd.

After first announcing the land reclamation policy and the tax policy for this year’s summer grain, they continued to renew the land lease agreement.

The remaining [-] acres of public land from the government were rented out within an hour, and then registration of wasteland and the issuance of special loans for wasteland reclamation began.

Boxes of silver were loaned out like running water.

There were a few people who looked like rich peasants gathered together beside the city wall.

"The Dengzhou Prefecture is planning to cut down the wages so that we have no tenant farmers to use and the farmland will remain empty. Then they can take it as public property without capital." Someone said while looking at the lively situation at the scene.

"Let's take a look. It's really not possible to sell it to the government next year. Anyway, the Land Law stipulates that the government must take back the land according to the three-year harvest price." A young man answered.

"What the hell are you talking about? The family property accumulated by ancestors for hundreds of years has been easily sold to the government. You are not afraid that your ancestors will crawl out of the grave to arrest you for questioning?" The man who spoke was older and had been scolded. The young man didn't dare to stand up, but he still retorted:

"If the Xinghan League continues, farming will be unprofitable. The land rent is 15% a year, and it will take [-] years to recover the land price. With this money, it is better to lend it out and collect interest than farming."

"Hey, this is forcing someone to die." The older man could not refute this statement.

"I don't know if it forced people to death, but those mud-legged people have been very happy these past two days, happier than during the Chinese New Year."

...June [-]th
The plan was a success!
Liu Xinqi felt happy while looking at the records of power changes.

Data is rising as if it has wings and is flying.

"Aren't you afraid that those gentry and landlords will organize an uprising to resist you?" Luo Gao looked at Liu Xinqi's proud smile that hadn't stopped all morning and couldn't help but retorted.

"Hahahaha, it's possible that Announcement No. [-] has just been released. Where are they organizing manpower now? If this trend continues, they probably won't even be able to recruit people to farm their own land." Liu Xinqi replied.

"You are so ruthless." Luo Gao admired, and then asked: "Then if they really sell all the land to you, do you have that much money to buy it?"

"I don't have one, but I know how to write IOUs. I don't owe them in vain, and the annual interest is [-]%. Calculated, it's almost the same as their income from recruiting people to farm." Liu Xinqi replied: "I have printed the IOU templates, a big pile. Enough."

Hearing Liu Xinqi's approach, Luo Gao was speechless.

"System prompt: Obtained the approval of more than 50.00% of the population of Penglai County in Dengzhou. The system recognizes that Penglai County belongs to the Xinghan League's sphere of influence, increasing the population by 730."

"I'll go!" Liu Xinqi was frightened by the system prompt and quickly opened the main page.

Domestic affairs
Power: 110836
Fame: 101105
Martial arts: 548
Before the plan started, the power was 9771. After the plan was implemented, the power increased by 101065. The 49732 just now should be within this number. This shows that Penglai County has a population of more than [-].

According to the calculation of Zhao State's population of 240 million, there are 10 prefectures and [-] states. There are four counties in Dengzhou, and each county has a population of [-]. It is correct.

This system prompt explains that as long as more than 50.00% of the people in a state (county) recognize the Xinghan League, Liu Xinqi can obtain the power value of everyone in the state (county).

"Get rich overnight!!!" Liu Xinqi couldn't help shouting.

"What sudden wealth? Do you have another way to make money?" Luo Gao asked from the side.

Liu Xinqi stepped forward and hugged Luo Gao tightly, and then said: "Our Xinghan League is stable, now no one will be afraid."

After saying that, he rushed out of the door.

Luo Gao was left alone in the room, confused: "These people who know magic are different, they are crazy..."

Liu Xinqi replied that he was in the bedroom of the Dengzhou government office, closed the door, and then opened the system to start recruiting, muttering in his mouth: "One thousand cards at a time, there should be surprises."

As of today, Liu Xinqi has recruited a total of 140 five general cards, used 140 four cards, and the remaining one is a one-star card.

Among them, there are five three-star cards, and the probability of winning three-star cards is about [-] to one, and they have not drawn cards with higher stars.
