"Allowing the cultivator to have his land does not necessarily mean that the surname is violently enforced, but also by economic means! Redemption or economic regulation. Meng Xiang carefully considered, "Our expedition to the east and the south this time to recover the lost territory not only drove away the devils, but also captured a lot of Han annihilation. Those who committed the most heinous crimes must be dealt with, and those who committed minor crimes must also be punished, and a lot of land will be confiscated and fined.

When the devil comes, there will be a lot more ownerless land in a war, which is also part of it.

We also have a little money to spare, and it is still possible to redeem a part of the land at the market price. "The successive vanguard armies have already mastered more than 11 million acres of land.

"The second and most important one is economic regulation. It is my intention that all agricultural taxes will be exempted from all agricultural taxes for each household with less than 10 acres of land. "This ten mu is divided by Meng Xiang according to the statistical data, and the standard of farmers who account for the vast majority of the Chinese people is selected. Originally, he planned to use five acres of land to start the levy, but after calculating it, it was sometimes not easy to mix five acres of land at this time, so Meng Xiang simply increased it to ten acres of land, which could show his superiority even more.

"Huh?!" Li Shuchun couldn't help but be surprised, but he understood many of them. Don't underestimate this policy, the imperial grain and national tax for thousands of years has not involved a simple matter of money, but it will lead to major changes in the political situation.

"Land reform has a lot of interests involved. But as long as the main line is grasped, it can be peeled off. At this time, no matter which force wants to gain a foothold, it will not work if it does not give the people full benefits, and it will not last long to be controlled by the army. The development of the country and the prosperity of the nation are not empty slogans with enthusiasm. In this era, the peasants were the largest in number of all strata, and land was the most important thing they cared about. Give them benefits from the land issue, and their hearts will lean towards us. Meng Xiang explained unhurriedly.

"Good! Wonderful! Pharmacist Tang suddenly clapped his hands and praised, "This method is wonderful!" This method seems to be inexpensive, but it has greatly broken up the local clan power. The people are more greedy for profit, and naturally the large households are divided into small households, and there are fewer clan constraints, and it is more convenient to push the policy of administrative axe.

Moreover, the biggest obstacle to the reform of countless dynasties is the reform of officials. If the upper line is against the lower level, no matter how good the system is, it is useless. Now that there is no tax on land below 10 acres, there is no room for the small officials to play, which also makes the poor people less tossed.

This method is very good, but there are some areas that need to be considered.

First, the total amount of land in Shandong is insufficient, and although ten acres is small, it is difficult to meet everyone's desire to have their own land after the pieces are divided; In the two, everyone is oriented to farming, and other industries are naturally scarce, and the agricultural tax is naturally missing most of the three, and I am afraid that the financial situation will be even tighter, especially the township finance that relies on agricultural taxes to eat; Fourth, by the household, the number of people is less profitable, more people are more negative, if the number of people is limited, I am afraid that the old and the young will be difficult to support; Fifth, the issue of household registration is probably also costly.

Sixth, the weights and measures are newly changed, although the central government is not authoritative, and the regions are uneven, it may be difficult to be fair. ”

However, Meng Xiang already had a full set of answers at this time, and couldn't help laughing: "This can naturally be solved!" Say, his eyes couldn't help but look at Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai had been thinking about it for a long time, and he wanted to speak in his heart, and he frowned when he saw this: "Some of these problems are easy to solve.

In terms of financial problems, local industry and commerce have been developed at the same time, and taxes have accounted for half of the wall, and after the adjustment of the salt industry, the taxes will be more sufficient. If there is no major war readiness, there is no fear of financial problems.

As for weights and measures, the central authorities have been implementing new standards a few years ago, and it is not a big problem to be unified, with a lot of care, extensive publicity, and strict measurement.

The fabrication of household registration is troublesome, but as long as you pay more attention, you can solve it. It's just a matter of spending more manpower and financial resources.

It's just that the maintenance of the old and the young, especially the problem of labor, is a big deal. Although there are some solutions, they are not curable. Labor to consolidate the soil, although it can be lived in peace, but the industry and commerce are not prosperous! ”

Meng Xiang smiled, this is the gap between the times. No matter how smart a person is, he is limited to this era, and he can't be too surreal to act. Even if there are occasional strange ideas, they are mostly self-denial. Thanks to the golden finger, Meng Xiang can see through the fog of this era.

"If you want to manage the people, you need to know the people." Meng Xiang smiled and said, "Do what the people want, follow the reason, and what the people do, detain the law." ”

"The method I want to implement not only involves the countryside, but also the city. As long as it is all the citizens on our territory, we must take it into account. Meng Xiang turned to say, "The method I want to implement is to establish a minimum guarantee system and fundamentally solve the problem of food and clothing for all the people." ”

Meng Xiang seemed to hear the sound of inhalation in his ears, but he didn't care, and still said with high interest: "Country, what is a country." The state is also a kind of collection of people. The country is not a home, the country is not for the people, and it is a country in vain. ”

"The people don't have enough to eat and don't have enough clothes, that's the responsibility of the state."

"Whose fault is it that he has worked hard all his life and has no food and clothing? Under the same aggregate, the inequality between the rich and the poor is the root cause of this phenomenon. ”

"Wealth and poverty are equal, not simply average. It is not only the pressure from the profiteers from all sides, but also the flow of surnames when there is injustice, so that it is possible to flow without corruption and ensure the competition of good surnames in society. Some unevenness is also normal. But the biggest imbalance in China is the huge gap between what there is and what it doesn't. The common people of China are the most patient, but as long as there is a way to live, they will be managed in the same way as sheep. Give food to eat, and it will be worshiped to the heavens. ”

"The minimum guarantee is to provide the minimum guarantee of survival and eliminate the huge gap between what is there and what is not!"

"This hole is too big, and the finances of Shandong can't bear it!" Li Shuchun couldn't help but say, he knew the finances of Lao Han, even in the best time, such consumption could not be afforded.

"Finance? What does the political axe do, is to carry out the redistribution method. Whether it is to rob the rich and help the poor, or rob the poor to help the rich, it depends on which way the door of this political axe is opened. According to the total amount, it is enough for all the people to starve to death, and even eat enough. That's what we do! Meng Xiang waved his hand and said, "This minimum guarantee can be divided into two situations, one is the agricultural population, farming. This subsistence allowance is carried out in accordance with the method of not paying taxes under 10 acres. A household owning less than 10 acres of land does not need to levy any taxes, as long as there are people who come to collect taxes, they can be driven out. In Huaxia, households with less than 10 acres of land account for the majority, and these people have been exempted from the imperial grain tax for thousands of years, and will definitely become our biggest supporters! Meng Xiang's words to the whole of China have revealed his ambition, making the other people look at each other a few times.

The exemption mentioned by Meng Xiang is the exemption of the imperial grain and national tax, which is the exemption of all taxes and miscellaneous expenses. In the future, only the taxes prescribed by the state can be collected, and the others will not be recognized. This also avoids the phenomenon that only those that are exempted by the state are not collected, and others are levied as they want.

"Even the head of a household with more than 10 acres of land is subject to only one kind of tax - the combined agricultural tax, but different taxes are levied according to the number of acres and the land. Land can also be divided into upper, middle and lower divisions to adjust the level of taxation.

In order to allow the majority of people to be allocated land, we will promote the implementation of the security system. According to the number of acres, 10 mu to 100 mu is a grade, and the medium tax burden is levied; 100 acres to 1,000 acres is a grade, and higher taxes are levied; More than 1,000 acres of land is another grade, which definitely makes those big landowners remember deeply. ”

Where can ordinary people distinguish what taxes are reasonable and legal? As long as the government comes to collect money and food, can you still twist your arms and thighs?

The first tax system eliminates the mess of other taxes. It also ensures the stability of tax collection and eliminates some of them. As for how to distribute the tax collected by the certificate, it depends on internal checks and balances to distribute it. Naturally, the internal power struggle will not have such a one-sided absolute advantage over the government.

"The minimum number of people in this account is three people, and there is no limit to the number of households. These people account for nearly half of the rural population. Some large households are divided into small households, and we account for the vast majority of such users. The rural problem can basically be stabilized. ”

The land issue is only to solve the basic needs of food and clothing, and it cannot be used to enrich the people and strengthen the country. Maintaining social stability is the greatest contribution of this land policy.

"According to the nearly 50 million mu of land in the Special Economic Zone, excluding those who have a lot of land, even if there are many four-person households, five-person households, or even more people. At most, it will only supply 15 million people. Zhou Bai calculated.

At this time, Shandong can produce 100 million mu of land, with a population of more than 30 million people, less than 40 million. If you follow this algorithm, it's almost enough! Meng Xiang said with a smile, his goal at this time had already pointed to the entire territory of Shandong.

"Moreover, this minimum guarantee is not limited to the agricultural population. With the exception of those who have landed households in the hukou book, all landless people have access to a minimum food security system.

"As for non-agricultural workers, if they have a large mobile surname, they will not be managed by households, but by individuals, so that it is convenient.

According to some people's scientific calculations, a person who has 200 catties of grain a year will not starve to death, and with 300 catties of grain, he can move freely. According to this standard, we also have to divide the grades. For the time being, it's divided into five levels.

At the first level, the minimum guarantee amount is 120 catties of grain per year, and wheat is temporarily used as the standard, which is the standard with a penalty surname. However, if 120 catties of wheat are directly converted into miscellaneous grains, no one will starve to death.

The second level is 150 catties of grain. This one has a disciplinary surname. This applies to those who do not have a job. As for wanting to eat more and eat better, then go and work and earn it yourself, and the political axe will not starve to death.

The third level, raised to 200 catties, this is popular. If you have a job, you are contributing to society, and you use this article.

The fourth level is 300 catties of grain, which is the standard of encouragement, and those in various industries abide by professional ethics and do their jobs well. should be appropriately encouraged. This level can also be applied to soldiers' families and retired soldiers. In addition, this is also a solution to the problem of the old and the young. Anyone over the age of 60 can receive it, and it is not easy to live to be 60 years old in this era! For young children, children under the age of six are also entitled to this level of minimum coverage. ”

"No!" A few people had already heard it a little straight, and when they heard this, Tang Yaoshi said in a low voice, "The matter of young children, as soon as this case is opened, I am afraid that the family will have children, and those who cannot have children will inevitably use all kinds of methods to seek children everywhere and disturb the family ancestral hall." ”

"This, of course, also has restrictions, there is this guarantee within two children, and they raise their own children outside the two children, and adopted children are not counted." Meng Xiang hadn't thought about this, but he added this method temporarily.

"What if, as soon as a child is born, it is taken away and falls into someone else's name? The officials below, playing some small tricks, changed the record. Tang Yaoshi's rare words were so contradictory to Meng Xiang, and then he sighed and said, "I think back then, my young son was also abducted, and he has no trace of him. Every time I think of it, I regret it! ”

Thinking about the lax law enforcement in later generations, which led to the abduction of those lone seedlings and the impunity of human traffickers, Meng Xiang was also gloomy in his heart, and comforted him in a harmonious voice: "We will strictly enforce the law in the future and increase the punishment of human traffickers, but if there is a human trafficker, kill!" Breaking people's families is equivalent to the crime of murder, and to kill as a warning, see how many people dare to be human traffickers again! ”

"It's a bit of a gaffe, please continue to speak!" Pharmacist Tang said happily when he heard this.

"This law is going to be carefully planned!" Meng Xiang thought.

"Young children and mothers after childbirth need nutrition that is conducive to the development of young children, and this needs to be carefully considered." Meng Xiang said.

"This article is benevolent, in fact, as long as the pregnant woman registers the record first, it is enough to protect the postpartum." Li Shuchun said with a smile.

"Most of the births in various places are at home, the conditions are insufficient, and the danger is very great. The preferential policy of free delivery examination for the first two children is implemented, and it is concentrated in the hospital, so that the record is more convenient. "Almost all babies in later generations were born in hospitals, so Meng Xiang said directly, anyway, just build a few more hospitals, and it is not difficult to have a base in hand.

"Yes, although financially unaffordable. However, people's livelihood is blessed. Zhou Bai also sighed. For Meng Xiang, although he is young, he is full of courage. He was already very satisfied with the matter of compulsory education, and this time the minimum guarantee system solved the problem of food and clothing for the people at once, which was very much in line with him.

"There is also the fifth level, this is the reward level, there are 400 catties of food, which is enough to ensure people's food problems. This article is aimed at the category of people who have contributed to us, including the families of martyrs who have given their lives for their country. Of course, the family of the martyr is limited to the immediate family members of the martyr's parents, wife and children, and grandparents. Together with the martyrs' bereavement allowances, this is enough to reassure the fighters. ”

Meng Xiang has heard a lot of bloody and tearful things, death cannot be measured by money, and he can't be appeased with a steamed bun just because a steamed bun can be exchanged for a life at this time. This difference in the price of the same fate is a great mockery of the surname.

It is believed that with the implementation of the minimum guarantee system for a lifetime, the soldiers will have no worries about the future, and their mental outlook will definitely not be worse than that of the soldiers armed with politics. Didn't the soldiers work hard to make their families have a good life?

"Good! The soldiers were encouraged by this, and they should fight bravely to kill the enemy. The soldiers are attentive, the people are willing, and it is difficult for outsiders to intervene in it. It's just that the financial pressure is too great, and it's hard for others to follow suit. "Even those who have never been concerned with politics are amazed by the financial pressure.

"I have to say that if you don't consider the financial problem, such a method will cause great changes in Huaxia from head to toe!" Pharmacist Tang praised.

The temptation of tax exemption for 10 acres of land can directly lead to the collapse of the current rural feudal family power. The policy of basic security for nothing has kicked down the solid clan power.

Large households were divided into smaller households in order to evade taxes. Small households will automatically reduce the agricultural population in a household to the lowest three people, and the rest of the population will directly become cheap labor. There is no need for land enclosures, no need for commune public property, and the value created by a large number of cheap labor is enough to make a earth-shaking change in China.

The remaining population was allocated a surplus of land according to the minimum size of three people per household, which was sufficient to ensure food stability.

During this period, by adjusting the standard of basic security and the tax burden of many landholders, the direction of the political axe policy can be guided. As the core of feudal ideology of the largest conservative force in the country, the family system is about to collapse.

The basic security system has also alleviated the land crisis. The landless people eat the basic rice, the tax exemption with less land can be slowly sharpened with the people with more land. Although the struggle between the forces is full of compromises, there will be no helplessness in the struggle between individuals and forces.

"There is no need to worry about financial problems, there is already a special fund to take care of this matter!" The reason why Meng Xiang said so confidently is all because there is a base behind him.

The cheap weapons and equipment produced by the base solve the problem of excessive military spending, and can concentrate money and energy to carry out reforms; Not to mention, the arms trade and the drug trade provide a lot of foreign income, and even foreigners make money. The 50 million given by the Germans made Meng Xiang stand tall.

The cost of 120 catties of grain is only 10 yuan, plus those who do not need to pay for the cultivators, and the rolling arms trade is enough to support it.
