Chapter 174 Valuing Commerce and Benefiting Agriculture
"Cough, everyone be quiet, and let everyone think about it and discuss it after the words are finished." Yun Ji interrupted everyone's discussion, "As for the tax on farmland, Ben Hou decided to collect one-tenth of the tax on the basis of 10 mu per person, and all other forced labor will be exempted, so as to ensure that civilians have time to do other things, so that they can feed their whole family, and will not become homeless people, wandering everywhere, and harming public security." ”
"What do you think?"
"Master Hou's method is good!"
"However, this candidate decided to exceed but not more than 10 acres per person, more than 30% of the exceeding, more than 20 acres per person, more than 50% of the tax, that is to say, 10 acres of only one-tenth, the extra tax, and it is also a heavy tax, more than 20 acres per capita, the number of acres in excess of 50% tax, this is also no way to do it, please understand."
"Master Hou, this is too much! If it exceeds, excluding the cost, it will hardly make money or even lose money. ”
Then there was another discussion, the delegates' eyelids jumped, I didn't expect Yun Ji to be so ruthless, if this knife went down, their worth would be almost cut by half, and there would not even be much left!
"Master Hou, can you charge less tax, it's too much, we can't afford it."
"It's okay, Benhou won't make it difficult for you, how can Benhou forget your kindness?" Yun Ji smiled, seeing that the delegates were frightened, like a demon waving his teeth and claws at everyone, "Actually, the method is very simple, isn't this, everyone has to pay taxes every month?" When the time comes, each family will keep the tax due, calculate how many acres of land this part of the tax can be worth, and then hand over the land, isn't it? ”
"Of course, I also know that you don't want to give away the land, but it's okay, you can give the land to the retainers, the servants, and put it in their names, isn't it great? But it cannot exceed 10 acres per capita. ”
"At the same time, you can also work hard to do business, you see, even if it is a tax of 1 gold coin a year, how many acres of land do you have to have this harvest! Even if we have 200 units per acre of land, this is considered fertile land, how much is this, 30 silver coins, this will cost 340,000 acres of fertile land, but is this possible? Excluding taxes and all kinds of miscellaneous labor, it is estimated that the land is almost gone! In other words, 1 tax rebate may require more than 600,000 acres of land income, do you have so much land? ”
"At the same time, you have to expand your business, operate more, then there will be more tax refunds!"
The representatives also felt reasonable after listening to Yun Ji's words, but if they wanted to take the initiative to give up the land, it was almost impossible, in the eyes of the ancient people, the land was their lifeblood, if the land was taken away, then it would simply cost them their lives!
At this time, a person from a business background stood up: "Xiaomin Lu Zhenghui, Xiaomin is willing to take out the land, I don't know how much land Hou Ye wants?" How much do you leave us? ”
"Except for the ten acres of your ancestral land, the others should be done per capita! The excess can be handed over or not, but it will be subject to heavy taxes. Especially in the past two years, the year has not been good, and everyone may have to put money into the land by themselves. ”
The representatives are also talking about it, although they are excited, but they don't want to hand over the land!
"Moreover, we are a border county here, I don't know when, the alien race will come over, can you still take those lands?"
Next, most people said that they could try to do business, compared with farming, since the goal has been achieved, Yunji has no need to care about others, but for those who make mistakes in the Shi family, Yunji said that they will give them the opportunity to let them study in Yunji Town under the rule of the family for three months, help them cultivate, basically they will be released back after three months, of course, except for those who are unqualified to continue studying.
After receiving Yunji's assurance, everyone went back, and each went back to his house to find someone to discuss the matter of land.
In fact, although Yun Ji did this thing with a handle, but this matter was incompatible with the scholar class at that time, and if he was not careful, he might be beaten to hell by the scholar class at any time, and he would have to step on a few more feet. This is also why Yunji can only carry out reforms on his own land, but does not dare to carry out reforms in the whole county.
Next, Yun Ji Zhong took 20 Great Qin Tiger Riders and 5,000 Divine Dragon Guards to Jiangyang County, and it can be said that the county town is already surging.
Yun Ji first went to meet his teacher Zhu Wen, and now Zhu Wen was promoted because of Yun Ji's arrival, and got a Yizhou farewell, and he waited until now before Yun Ji came to visit him.
However, Zhu Wen was very happy, after all, he had a lot of students, only Yun Ji was promoted to the position of Taishou, and he also got a Pingnan Hou, which made Zhu Wen a little envious, although Zhu Wen was not a small official, but his reputation was much worse than Yun Ji.
"Come, Yun Zhong, let me introduce you, these are also my students, you have to help each other in the future and make progress together!"
"I don't need to introduce this much, everyone should know that it is the newly appointed Pingnan Hou and Jiangyang Taishou."
Then Zhu Wen pointed to the first introduction: "This is Wang Ming, and now I am the master here." ”
Wang Ming: Yizhou is a native of Brazil, and his words are high
Occupation: Civil servant
……
He pointed to the second person and said, "This is Zhang Wei, now a county in Jiang'an County." ”
Zhang Wei, Bajun Nanchongguo (now Nanchong, Sichuan......
Occupation: Military general, intermediate scholar
……
He pointed to the third person and said, "This is Gong Jian, who is still learning from me." ”
Gong Jian: A native of Jiangyang, Yizhou
Occupation: Senior Scholar
……
He pointed to the fourth person and said: "This is my most uncompetitive student, called Qin Mi, now he is idle at home, he is flamboyant, he has nothing to do, and he blames me for not giving him a chance, you see him like this." ”
At this time, Zhu Wen hated the appearance of iron not being copper!
Qin Mi, a native of Mianzhu, Yizhou (now Mianzhu, Sichuan).
Occupation: Civil servant strategist, discerning talents
……
Yun Ji found that Qin Mi was wearing a flower crown hat and a purple coat, and his whole body exuded the breath of a son. I guess I was spoiled by my family at home.
He pointed to the fifth person and said, "This is Bai Fan, he sits at home all day to study, ignores external affairs, and is a fool." Hum! ”
Bai Fan: A native of Jiang'an County, Yizhou
Profession: Master Scholar
……
Zhu Wen hated iron a little, and he had some opinions about the latter two disciples, so he was also a little disliked.
"In the future, everyone will be brothers in the same school, and I will ask you to help me in the future."
"Well said, well said! In the future, I will ask the grandfather to take care of one or two! ”
After this introduction, Yun Ji found that the students of the teacher Zhu Wen are really good, three very famous people in history! There are famous scholars, and there is also a first-class historical military general, Zhang Wei.
Jiangyang County includes Jiangyang County, Mianshui County, Jiang'an County and Pingnan County, four counties, a county office, ancient literati, generally pay more attention to reputation, therefore, Yunji decided to let Wang Ping go to Jiangyang County as a county commander, Zhang Wei to be a county magistrate in Mianshui County, to Jiang'an County, then to inspect the remaining three counties to make character, if you can use it, if not, pull out another one.
As a result, after a survey, the conduct of the three people is very good, one of them is named Zhang Song, who is a professional county magistrate, and he is also very relaxed. In order to give better play to his talent, Yunji directly arranged for him to be promoted to Jiangyang County.
One of them was named Wan Jiang, who was transferred to Jiang'an County as a county commander, and the remaining one named Cui Zhengting was also promoted to the county as a long history.
As for Qin Mi, he was arranged by Yunji to go to Yunji Town for training for three months before coming to the county to work, and the two scholars were also directly arranged by Yunji to Yunji to do learning, teaching and educating people.
Of course, Yun Ji would not forget the people who came with him, and each of them was also promoted to a level.
In the end, it was a good thing for the court and the central government, and the matter decided today was decided the next day, and the next day the holy decree was announced, announcing the appointment of several people.
In this regard, Yun Ji thought that the affairs in the county might come to an end, but Yun Ji had more troubles waiting for him in the future.
