Chapter 1065: Politics and Harmony
However, Li Yi had not really unified the whole country, so he still adopted a certain policy of Huai Rou, so the land of the original scholar class was not included in the scope of Juntian. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info so as not to over-stimulate, these scholars all over the state and county will make trouble, and delay the process of reunification under the loss of national strength.
There is also the regulation of rents, which stipulates that all households with equal land, regardless of the amount of land in the household, are taxed according to the capitation. To put it simply, if a person has 100 acres of land, then only one person's tax will be charged. In this way, the enthusiasm of the peasants to reclaim wasteland has been greatly mobilized.
In general, Li Yi attached great importance to agriculture and reduced the taxes and labor of the peasants, so that the peasants were able to produce stably and cultivate for a while, which allowed the economy of the Great Qin State, which was based on agriculture. And Li Yi started from himself, proposing to "quit luxury and be simple", he restrained his enjoyment, hoping to be able to go up and down, and throttle as much as possible. He also eliminated the maladministration of the Eastern Han Dynasty of "fewer people and more officials" and reduced the burden of the people in the world.
When it comes to the economy, even the great agricultural countries need the power of commerce. Emphasizing agriculture over commerce has been the fundamental idea of the emperors and ministers of the Chinese dynasties of the agricultural empire since ancient times. But Li Yi came from a later generation, so he didn't discriminate against business. Not only does it not discriminate, but it also provides many convenient conditions for business development. Because Li Yi knows that people can't just eat their stomachs, only business is the foundation that ultimately makes the country rich.
Under Li Yi's advocacy, the commercial economy of the society has developed by leaps and bounds, and people want to get rich while they are well fed, and they have the policy support of the imperial court, so new chambers of commerce and cities have sprung up.
Culturally, Li Yi implements his policy of teaching at the national, state, county, and county levels, and national literacy is his goal at home. The integration of Han culture with different ethnic groups in the frontier is his cultural purpose to the outside world. The extra points of studying and learning in the hall of Beijing Normal University allow students to travel more places. In order to be motivated, the students are also doing their best to do a good job in education in the countryside.
In addition, Li Yi ordered the collection of all kinds of pictures and books across the country, and the establishment of the National Library next to the Hall of Beijing Normal University. Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan, Sima Hui and other great writers were found to be in charge of the country's library and book collection.
………………
Time is like water, fleeting, especially in the busy, time is like a winged elf, one moment is still in front of you, the next moment is gone.
Spring is gone, autumn is gone, winter solstice is gone, and in the blink of an eye, this year is almost over.
In fact, although no war was waged, northern Xinjiang has been operating at a high speed and intense for most of the past six months.
There is some confusion in government affairs.
A decree was issued today, and the problem was discovered within a few days, and then it was modified, patched, or even reversed.
This kind of act of changing the order of the day is a big taboo in governance, and it is easy for government agencies to lose credibility and make the people at a loss. However, in northern Xinjiang, where it is commonplace to go against common sense, this kind of thing is not a big deal.
Decrees, whether they are amended or overturned, are only made after they have been fully demonstrated. During the period leading up to the issuance of the decree, there will be a wide range of discussions, and everyone will be able to express their opinions, and all ideas that will make people shine will be recorded, summarized, and summarized.
Once adopted, the name of the person who submitted the opinion will be included in the file of the decree and made public.
This is an opportunity for many people to become famous, because the publicity of Northern Xinjiang is a real publicity.
Li Yi attaches great importance to transportation construction, and for more than 20 years, he has not given up his efforts in this regard, and now it is time to harvest. By water and convenient official roads, all government decrees are sent by courier to the government offices of each county as soon as possible. Subsequently, from the county to the county, from the county seat to the township, and finally to the pavilion chiefs and teachers in the villages.
After receiving the letter, the government will publicize it. The official offices of the county will post the list outside the yamen as soon as possible, and the officials who keep the list will explain it from the side. Villages and towns without such conditions will be explained by the pavilion chief on the next rest day, and if someone is anxious, they can also find the pavilion chief or teach and ask.
At first, the people didn't think much of it, thinking that these things should be done by meat eaters, and that they had nothing to do with it. But as the public announcement progressed and the new decrees were promulgated, they soon realized that if they turned a blind eye to this, they would only suffer in the end.
The most typical is the reclamation order that people love and hate.
There is no doubt that this decree is certainly good governance, but there are also many drawbacks.
For example, the dispute caused by the two families competing for the same piece of land, the reclaimed mountain field could not grow anything, but the reclaimers took advantage of the situation to occupy the mountain, giving birth to many bullies and so on. But these are not the most serious, and the biggest drawback of this decree is the sense of oppression brought about by the decree. It makes people breathless.
Because everybody wants more land, and if they want it, they have to cultivate it, so everybody is working so hard that they can't do it. And in the original mode. Those with big businesses are undoubtedly more advantageous, they have more people and more tools. The reclamation efficiency is naturally higher than that of others.
Before the amendment appeared, although some people were aware of it, few people said anything bad about this law, and everything was hidden in the tide of pioneering and enterprising. As soon as the amendments came out, these drawbacks became apparent.
The amended decree has not changed much, mainly in terms of tax rates.
Originally, no matter how much land was cultivated, the tax rate was the same, but now there is a distinction.
For example, if a family of five only reclaimed 10 acres of land, it only needs to pay the decreasing land tax in accordance with the regulations at the beginning of the tuntian, and when the prescribed period is over, the 10 acres of land will become tax-free self-reserved land. If fifty acres are cultivated, then the other forty acres will always have to be taxed.
As long as you are willing to endure the full tax of sixty percent, it is not impossible to have thousands of hectares of fertile land with the strength of a family, but the rate of return is far less than the previous Haoqiang.
With just a simple adjustment, the original drawbacks will be solved, and the hidden worries will be eliminated.
Because the new decree also made a distinction between the nature of the fields, for example, the tax rate for paddy fields was higher, and the mountain fields did not produce much, but they needed to pay a fixed high tax rate, so that a series of thorny problems that had previously arisen or emerged were solved. And the enthusiasm of the people of Qingzhou for development has not been curtailed in the slightest.
The name of the person who made this suggestion was written in a position second only to Li Yi and Guoyuan - the name Zhuge Kongming, which was famous in the Han Dynasty.
After two years of training in Yangzhou, Zhuge Liang's ability has been fully exerted. Figuratively speaking, this person is a central computer in the shape of a human being. Although he is still young and his power is not big enough, his ability has been shown very clearly.
In the latest series of decrees, almost all of his big names are listed on it, except for Li Yi, he is the most photogenic, and even Sima Yi is much worse than him.
All in all, with the improvement of the publicity system and the fame of many future stars, the New Deal has moved on the right track in the chaos, becoming more and more vigorous, and more and more widely accepted by the military and the people.
Today, the Chamber of Commerce has been established for many years and has achieved remarkable results. Peasant associations and trade unions were put on the agenda, and these societies did not hold any power, and their main duty was to discuss politics and make proposals.
In a few decades, these organizations may play the role of the East India Company in the Age of Discovery, but for now, they are just a model.
The entire Northern Xinjiang Group, and even the direction of the progress of Chinese civilization, were firmly grasped by Li Yi.
In fact, just giving advice has made businessmen and craftsmen overjoyed. has been suppressed for more than a thousand years, and they will not turn over coldly, even if they are given power, they will not use it well, Li Yi is not an idealist, of course he will not let go of power easily.
With the help of the Chamber of Commerce, the commercial system in northern Xinjiang has also entered a stage of benign development.
Under the expectation and urging of countless people, the commercial tax system was grandly introduced. This system is the result of the efforts of countless people, and at least for the time being, it is a law that takes care of all aspects.
This is also the first real commercial law born in the history of China - the part about commerce in the previous Shang Dynasty Reform Law, and the commercial laws such as the edict of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, are simple and crude, not to promote commerce, but to restrict the development of commerce, so they cannot be regarded as commercial laws.
Naming this decree, Li Yi is naturally expected.
Frankly speaking, this is a big problem for Li Yi, he doesn't have much experience in business, and he doesn't know anything about the history of business development, so he can't plagiarize if he wants to.
After thinking about it again and again, in the end he simply came up with a very vulgar name - the Commercial Code.
This name has been widely respected and embraced, and the businessmen originally didn't care about the name or anything, and the most important thing for them was that it was a decree established by Li Yi himself, with the highest credibility and execution, so that they could relax and work hard to make money.
And Li Yi used the code to name it, which was even more unexpected for the businessmen, these two words are not fancy, but solemn enough, with such a guarantee, everyone is completely relieved.
Of course, Li Yi is also very happy, this decree is very perfect, even Zhuge Liang, an expert in finding faults, did not find any major faults, only pointed out a few inconsequential details, put a few patches, and added a few detailed rules.
With this code, the commerce of Northern Xinjiang will flourish in an orderly manner, and what the Tang Dynasty will get from it is the wealth that will roll in, which will continue to be stable. This wealth will eventually become sharp weapons in the hands of the warriors, strong armor, and sufficient food and clothing, which in turn will bring the momentum and motivation of the rainbow!
Industry is also not lagging behind.
At present, the most urgent need of the industry is not new technology, but a new production concept and order. Process subdivision, assembly lines, new apprenticeship systems, and the imminent patent bill are all carried out in an orderly manner, even if Li Yi has successively introduced a number of new technologies, including printing, they have not disrupted the rhythm of industrial development.
