Here, Xun Yu found Lu Bu again and reported to Lu Bu.

After a month, nearly 20,000 acres of wasteland have been opened up.

Barracks were also built, and several natural villages were also built.

Outside Luoyang City, most of the people on the Zhuangzi that Zhen Yi originally gave to Lu Bu moved over.

Houses had already been built with the help of soldiers, and each family was given two acres of land, and Lu Bu had promised them that the fields would be given directly to them.

However, they only have the right to cultivate these lands, not to sell them.

In other words, the ownership of the land is in the hands of Wu County.

Rao is like this, and these villagers are also happy.

In fact, they also know in their hearts that the land cannot be sold, and it seems to be unfavorable to them.

In fact, this is a kind of guarantee for them by Lu Taishou.

What do farmers rely on to survive? Land, of course!

If the land can be bought and sold at will, the wealthy landlords will always be able to buy a large amount of land in a different way.

Once the peasants lose their land, they will become tenants and displaced people, and their survival will be insecure.

Not being able to buy or sell land is actually a good thing for them.

……

Seeing that this side was arranged by Xun Yu in an orderly manner, Lu Bu couldn't help but nodded.

At this moment, Xun Yu found Lu Bu again.

Xun Yu couldn't help but say to Lu Bu: "Lord, there is a large area of land here, but the population is too small, when will it really develop?" ”

Yes, the population here is actually just villagers who migrated from Luoyang, and there are also Yellow Turban refugees brought by Zhang Ning.

However, these are only a few thousand people, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the area of a huge Shanghai county.

As for the remaining soldiers, it is impossible to stay here and cultivate all the time.

In the event of a war, if all these soldiers are withdrawn, the huge Shanghai County will immediately become an empty city.

Lu Bu couldn't help but ask Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, what about your opinion?" ”

Xun Yu said: "My lord, according to what my subordinates have seen, we need to recruit a large number of displaced people to replenish the population. But if you want to recruit displaced people, you have to give them certain benefits, otherwise, no one will want to come at all. It was because of this incident that the subordinates were ready to discuss it with the lord. ”

In this matter, it is estimated that Xun Yu has already made a plan, and he has made a decision in his heart.

However, this matter needs Lu Bu to make a final decision, and Xun Yu probably also wants to see what Lu Bu thinks.

Lu Bu couldn't help but say to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, I don't think it's as good as this, as long as there are displaced people who are willing to come, they can register and make a register, divide the land according to the person, and give each person two acres of land." As for the tax, it is levied at the rate of twenty taxes a year, and there is no forced labor. ”

The agricultural tax of 20 taxes and 1 was actually a high tax in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

There were three types of taxes in the Eastern Han Dynasty: land rent, calculation and mouth tax (poll tax), and conscription (force tax).

The land tax is only thirty taxes and one, which can be said to be the lowest tax in the entire ancient history.

But the poll tax is quite heavy, especially in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Each household needs to pay 200 yuan per year, and adult men have to pay 300 yuan a year, even the disabled are no exception.

Children from one to fourteen, some men and women, have to pay an annual contribution of 23 yuan.

Men and women between the ages of 15 and 56 pay 120 yuan per person per year.

Merchants and slaves were doubled, 240 yuan per person per year.

In order to encourage childbearing, women between the ages of 15 and 30 who do not marry are divided into five classes, and the taxes will be increased if they are not promoted to the first class.

If you are pregnant, your husband is exempt from the calculation for one year.

As for the indiscriminate showdown, that's even more.

If it is calculated in this way, then the taxes at the end of the Han Dynasty are very heavy, even if it is a good year, that is, it can barely fill the stomach.

As for the year of calamity, it will be for the sake of selling sons and daughters.

As for the twenty taxes and one given by Lu Bu, and the other taxes are all exempted, this preferential policy is too big, to the point of being unbelievably big.

Xun Yu has come up with an extremely preferential policy, but compared with the preferential degree of the policy given by Lu Bu, it is still far from reaching.

However, after hearing the policy given by Lu Bu, Xun Yu finally shook his head and said, "Lord, no!" ”

Lu Bu asked in wonder, "Why not?" Twenty taxes and one is not too much, right? ”

Xun Yu couldn't help but say: "It's not much, if any other taxes are not levied, then this proportion is too low and too low!" ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Yes, aren't we just going to use low taxes to attract people?" ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Lord, such a low tax is not enough to support the operation of the entire county guard!" If the tax is raised in the future, the people under the rule will definitely complain! ”

"Besides, if the taxes in Shanghai County are so low, then the taxes in the entire Wu County are still so high, and the people in other counties will inevitably complain, which will cause turmoil in Wu County!"

"Besides, if all forced labor is exempted, once there is a project in Shanghai County, where can we find so many people to carry out the construction? Therefore, the subordinates think that this method is absolutely impossible, and they hope that the lord will think twice. ”

Xun Yu's statement is still very reasonable, many questions, before Xun Yu raised it, Lu Bu didn't think of it at all.

However, these problems may be an opportunity for Lu Bu.

After thinking about it, Lu Bu said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, what you said is very reasonable, so let's do it, what about the tax, it will be raised to fifteen taxes and one." All other taxes are exempt. ”

Listening to Lu Bu's words, Xun Yu couldn't help but be stunned. Yes, your tax has increased a bit, but it's still a symptom rather than a cure? When Xun Yu was asking, he was stopped by Lu Bu stretching out his hand.

"Of course, the fifteen tax is conditional! First, it can be stated that all the displaced people who come must settle in Shanghai County in order to enjoy this treatment. And this treatment can only be enjoyed for five years! There will be changes after five years. Second, the land is distributed according to the capitation, the tax is collected according to the capitation, and only cash is collected, not in kind! ”

After listening to Lu Bu's words, Xun Yu couldn't help but nod thoughtfully.

And Lu Bu's second article, the distribution of land according to the head and the collection of taxes according to the head, and only collect cash and not in kind, couldn't help but make Xun Yu's eyes brighten.

Population statistics have been a big problem since all dynasties, and deception and concealment abound.

But if this method is followed, then no one will deceive and conceal the report.

Because now the land is distributed according to the population! Besides, the taxes are so low, who would be so stupid!

The method of collecting taxes according to the head and collecting only cash is even more beneficial.

In this way, many tax problems will be solved.

For this method, Xun Yu couldn't help but be amazed by it, the lord deserves to be the lord, such an ingenious method can be thought of!
