Chapter 12 To the Shandong Peninsula to Fight the Tatars!
The Great Song Dynasty didn't care about the origin of those Hui Hui merchants, and neither did Liuqiu Island. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
As long as they are in the designated place, they can build their own shops or houses------ and the Great Song Dynasty generally does not charge land fees, but Liuqiu Island collects land transfer fees and issues land ownership certificates.
There is not much money, but it must be paid.
So far, I haven't heard of someone not paying the ------- Liuqiu Island, which is not limited to the number of land purchased by individuals, but there is a critical number of areas, and after that, the land tax will be charged, which is really learned from the Great Song Dynasty government.
In order to standardize management, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, except for not playing with prohibition and monopoly like the Great Song Dynasty government, other taxes and tax rates are not much different.
What's more, Liuqiu Island does not have as many miscellaneous taxes as the Great Song Dynasty before.
The Great Song Dynasty government continued to use the two-tax system created during the Tang Dynasty, that is, the land rent, household tax, and forced labor were all combined into one field rent, which was levied in summer and autumn, and no other taxes could be levied in addition to the two taxes.
In other words, the people have already paid taxes for the construction of various facilities, and the government should pay for the construction of various projects, and it should pay for the employment of the people, and it is no longer allowed to levy the people to do unpaid labor.
However, the difference between the two tax systems of the Great Song Dynasty government is that the household tax and forced labor are levied in addition to the two taxes, and the official explanation is that the two tax systems are land rents.
As a result, although the people had already paid the exemption money, they still had to serve the government, and even caused many families to go bankrupt because they could not bear the destruction of the "errand labor law".
Anyway, the common people are wronged, they have no choice, the government can fool as much as they want, although they have obviously paid the exemption money once, but now they have to pay the money again to ask for exemption, and it is already undesirable to achieve this point.
Once again, the infinite creativity of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty was expressed.
After the grain enters the official warehouse, it may be stolen and eaten by mice, and this loss has to be paid by the people, that is, the so-called "rat and finch consumption".
In addition, there are also names such as "branching" and "folding".
The so-called "branch transfer" means that after the peasants have paid the tax and grain, the government says: "This is not enough, you have to transport it to me somewhere." If you don't want to go, you can pay the money. Shipping costs are calculated based on the distance traveled. ”
There are even those designated to be transported thousands of miles away, and the "branch transfer" surcharge is even several times higher than the tax base itself.
The so-called "conversion" means that when you pay taxes, you should have paid grain and cloth, and the government wants you to pay it into money, of course, the conversion rate is the government's final say.
For example, the cloth and silk were folded into money, at first it was one horse and two times, and then it was changed to six times, and finally it was folded into ten times, and the actual tax rate of the cloth rose five times between several folds.
Sometimes the government is poor, and two taxes will be levied in advance, and the autumn tax will be collected before the autumn grain is harvested, which is called "pre-urging"; This year has already been paid, and you are asked to pay next year's in advance, this is called "pre-borrowing"------
In short, there are no such things on the island of Liuqiu, there are two taxes and commercial taxes, as well as land taxes on land exceeding the area and customs duties on imports and exports, and there are no other additions.
After those returning merchants inquired clearly, they settled down, and the tax here was lower than that of the Great Song Dynasty!
Not to mention compared to the northern continent, if it weren't for the monopoly of business given by the big bosses, where could they pay such high taxes------
When they landed on their feet, they immediately sat down on the side of Liuqiu Island, and they also began to care about the situation on the Shandong Peninsula, so as not to be defeated by the Tatars.
Fortunately, they have "Liuqiu Weekly" to read, and it is very clearly reported.
At the beginning, after Bishop Zhang Guoan Island made a few moves from Yang Youxing, he let him worry about it, and he didn't care about it.
That kid was Shen Qianqian, with the help of Shen Qianqian, who made the weekly newspaper so good that it began to be sold in Lin'an City.
Therefore, the civilians in the Great Song Dynasty also knew what the Liuqiu Guards had done on the Shandong Peninsula.
"Go to the Shandong Peninsula to fight the Tatars!"
Yang Youxing often wrote some such sensational slogans in the "Liuqiu Weekly", in order to encourage some hot-blooded young people to throw themselves into the Shandong Theater------- in fact, their fighting style on the Shandong Peninsula was very simple, but Yang Youxing wrote a bloody dogfight-style fight, almost written as a heavenly immortal fighting.
However, his agitation has little effect, and in this time and space, most of the Great Song people have ideas in their minds about how to earn money.
On the contrary, the number of people who came to the island increased.
Because Yang Youxing often advocates how good the economy of Liuqiu Island is and how stable the society is, it seems that anyone who comes here can make a fortune casually; The Shandong Peninsula and the northern part of Liuqiu seem to be full of gold, and he picked up a piece of gold very casually------ about the hardships of the gold diggers, but he didn't mention a word.
Therefore, more and more people come here and go to the Shandong Peninsula, most of them want to make a fortune and want to pan for gold.
One reason why "Liuqiu Weekly" was so popular with the common people of the Great Song Dynasty was that many people were fascinated by the serialization of the novels above.
Previously, Wang Defa told them the story of "Journey to the West", and he also brought the information.
The level of fiction in this time and space is too poor.
The literary novels of the Tang Dynasty once shined with a number of well-composed masterpieces, leaving the Song Dynasty with a peak that was difficult to climb.
The literary novels of the Song Dynasty include two parts: Zhiwei and Legend.
When commenting on the development of Chinese novels, Mr. Lu Xun once said: The literati of the Song Dynasty were strangers, both plain and lacking in literary color; Its legend, and more to rely on the past and avoid recent news, imitation of the ancient and far from grasping, let alone originality at all.
Therefore, the overall achievements of literary novels in the Song Dynasty are not high.
Song legends are mostly based on history, and the themes can be divided into two categories: one is the imperial life from Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty to Huizong of the Song Dynasty. The other type is a love story, which is obviously not as delicate as the Tang legend, and the text is sometimes inferior.
Therefore, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, directly took out the full version of "Journey to the West", and quietly asked Shen Qianqian to copy a chapter every day, and then gave it to Yang Youxing.
Shen Qianqian proudly conveyed quiet words and said, "Let you learn how to write other people, such as characters and stories." ”
Well, Yang Youxing could only copy it again at that time.
Yang Youxing was a talented young man of the Great Song Dynasty, he had a strong comprehension ability, and he did learn a lot in this kind of copying.
The key is that Zhang Guoan and Jingjing are both teachers, and they will still guide his creation.
"Journey to the West" was serialized in "Liuqiu Weekly", not to mention shocking the common people of the Great Song Dynasty, I heard that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty must see it every week!
The owner of Zhang Guoan also made him belong to Wu Chengen's name, which can be regarded as making a name for him in advance, of course, the world will change a lot, without "Journey to the West", if Wu Chengen in later generations is really talented, he can also write other books.
Even with the news on Liuqiu Island, "Liuqiu Weekly" quickly circulated in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and this dissemination efficiency was far higher than that of books such as "Primary School Arithmetic", "Primary School Geometry", "Primary School Physics", "Primary School Chemistry" and "Primary School Logic".
The team members who are preparing for war on the Shandong Peninsula have said that any military funds can be delayed by two days, and this "Liuqiu Weekly" must not be late------ Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, has also chased the book, and he promised that as long as you fight the war well and do not be impulsive, you should not worry about all logistics.
Fight well and not be impulsive, this is the instruction given to them by the owner of Zhang Guoan, and they also understand and recognize this instruction.
Therefore, those half-sized people also grasped this very well when they held military meetings.
Captain Mu Mu's plan to play was basically denied by all the members. (To be continued.) )
