There is no agricultural tax in Qingguo today.
No agricultural tax?
Who would dare to imagine?
Not to mention that the Great Song Dynasty followed the example of Qingguo to cancel the agricultural tax, even if it was less than one percent, it would also cause huge turmoil in the Great Song Dynasty.
The land of the Great Song Dynasty is too big, there are too many people who need to be developed, and there are too many people who need to be supported.
The Great Song Dynasty did not have as many ways to make money as Qingguo.
can only rely on some government-run business and tax development, naturally not as good as Qingguo.
Moreover, the population of the Great Song Dynasty has more than doubled in 15 years, and now it has reached 160 million.
The territory of the Great Song Dynasty has not expanded, and the places that can be divided have been almost divided.
Now that there is any rebellion of the naturalized tribe, almost none of the officials in the Great Song Dynasty have asked for appeasement, and they have asked to send troops to exterminate the clan.
The reason why the officials in the Great Song Dynasty became so cruel was to be able to kill people and vacate the land for distribution to the people.
In other words, there are tens of millions of more people to support in the Great Song Dynasty, and the cost of the Great Song Dynasty is also rising in a straight line.
There are naturally not many people who can devote themselves to development.
The population of several other fiefdoms has also skyrocketed in fifteen years.
Only the population of Qingguo, after it skyrocketed to one million, stopped moving.
The population of Qingguo has been maintained at 1 million.
Qingguo's current land production is just enough to meet the needs of one million people.
The people of Qingguo went back to work in other workshops in their spare time, and the income from the fields and the income in the workshops added up to a very rich amount.
Some families with a large number of men will also assign one or two men in the family to work full-time in the workshop.
Naturally, the income is more lucrative.
After all, now Qingguo is responsible for all the ships of the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Kingdom, Wei Kingdom, Jin Kingdom, East Tianzhu, West Tianzhu, and Beihai Kingdom.
Some emerging things that have appeared in the past fifteen years are also taken over by Qingguo.
A large business naturally earns more, and the money distributed to the people who work naturally increases.
The income of the people is naturally high.
As Zhang Zhong said on the boat before, now in Qingguo, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, you can live a good life.
The lazy man has no way to live in Qingguo.
If you don't become diligent yourself, the Qingguo court will help you be diligent.
The Qingguo court will not only give you an official wife, but also throw you to the Northern Wilderness to open up the wasteland after your wife is pregnant.
Eighty percent of the income from the reclamation will be sent to your wife, children and mother by the imperial court.
The term is five years.
After five years, if you become more industrious, you can return to Qingguo to live with your wife, children and mother.
Five years later, if you are still a lazy man, Qingguo will send your wife, children and mother to the Northern Wilderness and live with you in the Northern Wilderness.
After they arrived in the Northern Wilderness, they would not live a hard life.
After all, after the lazy people arrive in the Northern Wilderness, they will become big landlords.
After they arrived in the Northern Wilderness, they would live a very prosperous life.
However, from the rich nest in Qingguo to the Northern Wilderness, which is still in the initial stage of development, ordinary people can't stand it, and the neighborhood will poke you in the back.
Of course, there are also some lazy people who don't change.
After arriving in the Northern Wilderness, they are not only lazy, but also ruined, and they will soon lose all the land allocated to them by the Linhai Governor's Mansion.
Once the lazy men have lost all their land, the Linhai Governor's Mansion will take back their slaves and make them the Northern Wilderness.
If you fall into the Northern Wilderness, you must serve in the mine for three years.
All preferential treatment for the Song people will also be canceled.
Those who are unwilling to serve in the mines can go to the Death Army, drive the savages to fight, and after obtaining military exploits, they can return to their hometowns.
It was by virtue of this means that Qingguo constantly transferred the surplus people in Qingguo to the Northern Wilderness.
It is precisely because of such a decree that the number of people in Qingguo has been maintained at one million.
In short, the wealth of Qingguo can't be learned by others, and there is no way to learn it.
Kou Qing looked at Zhao Qi and rolled his eyes, and changed the topic with a wry smile, "Chen Wengweng, my grandfather doesn't know about my coming here, right?" ”
Chen Datou smiled and said, "What do you think?" ”
Kou Qinggan smiled and said, "My grandfather shouldn't know ......"
Chen Datou pretended to say: "That's not accurate. ”
Kou Qing said embarrassedly: "Chen Wengweng, don't scare me." ”
Chen Datou laughed.
Kou Qing saw Chen Datou smile and breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that my grandfather really doesn't know, otherwise Chen Weng Weng wouldn't have laughed so much."
What does Chen Weng Weng Weng plan to do with our brother? ”
Chen Datou hugged the old gun in his arms and said with a smile: "Since I bumped into it, I naturally have to follow the rules." ”
Kou Qing hurriedly said: "Can't Chen Wengweng treat him as if he didn't see the kid and let the kid go?" ”
Chen Datou's smile became even brighter, "Your father said the same thing when he was bumped into by me five years ago. ”
Kou Qing looked at Chen Datou in astonishment.
Chen Datou smiled: "Don't look at me like that. Fifteen years ago, your father tried to run away from home, but was stopped by your great-grandfather. After your great-grandfather died, your father tried to run away again, but was stopped by your grandfather.
Five years ago, your father wrote a letter of state, preparing to pass on the throne to you, and then ran away, but I bumped into him.
Your father begged and promised me a lot of money......"
Chen Datou said this, and did not continue.
Kou Qing's face became very sad.
He understood what Chen Datou said.
Chen Datou told him that his father lured him to profit, but he couldn't successfully escape from Chen Datou's hands, and he wanted to let Chen Datou let him go, which was impossible.
"Chen Weng Weng ......"
Zhao Qi shouted softly on the side, looking at Chen Datou with a pleading expression.
Chen Datou immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't, we're not a family." ”
Zhao Qi said righteously: "My name is Kou Qi now!" ”
Chen Datou was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "In order to have a relationship with me, you don't even want your ancestors?" ”
Zhao Qi said righteously: "My mother's surname is Kou." ”
Chen Datou slapped his forehead and sighed: "I suddenly remembered what the old emperor once said, 'If you don't do it, you won't die'." ”
Zhao Qi looked at Chen Datou in amazement and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Chen Datou smacked his lips and said, "Didn't you two never think that I, an expeditionary general with a heavy responsibility, would appear at the dock at this time and happen to bump into the two of you?" ”
Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment.
Kou Qing reacted immediately, "Someone followed him and passed the news to you through some secret channels?" ”
Chen Datou nodded with a smile and said, "What you kid said is good." However, I must remind you that since the old emperor left Bianjing City, he has not been treated very well with the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and he will not meet the officials of the Great Song Dynasty in private.
There are only four people who are qualified to deliver news to us. ”
Kou Qing said in astonishment: "Won't it?!" ”
Zhao Qi's face turned white in an instant.
Before Zhao Qi could react, an old hand appeared on his shoulder, and a gloomy voice sounded.
"The eldest son of the royal concubine doesn't want the royal surname, it's really the first strange news in the world. Could it be that this slave of our family is unqualified and did not teach the rules of the eldest son of the royal concubine? ”
