Due to brain problems in Liangzhou, and because Chen Xi was really too lazy to collect taxes from the Qiang people running around, he instead used the Qiang people to fight in place of the Han Dynasty, using blood tax as the taxation model. However, the people of Liangzhou were particularly dissatisfied.
Why, why can the Qiang people not pay taxes? I don’t want to pay taxes either.
When Chen Xi received the reply from Liangzhou officials, he laughed. I give you Liangzhou subsidies every day. Some of you do pay taxes, but most of you receive subsidies, and Liangzhou never
After Chen Xi took over, he did not grow much food. He mainly grew cash crops such as grapes, wolfberry, cantaloupe and cotton, all of which were managed by the state.
At most, Chen Xi would ask people from Liangzhou to come to work and be paid for their work. As for the so-called head tax, oral money, and gifts, Chen Xi was not very interested because the fees collected were too fair and aboveboard.
This method of taxation that allows people to pay money directly is not as good as deducting it directly when distributing money. At least the latter method is far better to people's senses than the first method. Any cash can only be passed through the hand once.
When given, people will have a sense of reality.
But this money has never fallen into their hands. If it is just a concept, most people will be in a state of indifference. If there is still no way to provide everyone with labor opportunities, and then rely on harvesting surplus labor to replace the calculation of wealth
This kind of thing, Chen Xi even wanted to cut off his money and fortune, but it wasn't much anyway.
Taxes in the Han Dynasty were not heavy, and the tax on land was thirty to one. However, due to all kinds of messy things, the real tax could reach 60 to 70% for non-owner farmers. Chen Xi drove the aristocratic families away, and then the government gathered villages and merged villages.
Horrible things can be done. The executive power of the government is directly transferred to the countryside. If they say 30% tax, they will collect 30% tax, and all others will be killed.
As a result, the current taxes for ordinary people are actually land tax, oral money, and calculated taxes. As for local apportionment and the like, Chen Xi has dealt with them one by one, and it can be said that it has been completely settled.
Only then did the so-called saint of five hundred years come out, Haiyan and the river were clear, and Chen Zichuan was like a lonely moon in the sky.
After reaching this point, the people can actually live very well. Any era in ancient times is enough to be called a prosperous age. As for the remaining oral money and calculations, it is a lot for other dynasties. For Chen Xi, it is really
Washed up and went to sleep.
The Han Dynasty stipulated that a person between the ages of fifteen and fifty-six would be taxed 120 yuan a year, and a person between the ages of seven and fourteen would be taxed 20 yuan a year. This was the largest tax in the Han Dynasty. With this, when the population reached 5,000
When it is 10,000, it can receive taxes and fees of 3 to 4 billion.
It is considered a very important tax, but as long as Chen Xi can continue to create jobs for the people, according to the standard of working in the Han Dynasty, with an income of 900 yuan a month, the people can create about 2,000 to 3,000 yuan for Chen Xi.
real income.
This is still a small amount. If it is water conservancy, road, bridge construction, etc., the benefits and sustainable income will be countless.
This is also the reason why Chen Xi is very insensitive to verbal money and calculation of gifts, and is not even very active in collecting them. Isn't it better to arrange jobs for the people and harvest the invisible labor surplus than this way of affecting the people's mood?
Calculating that one person can harvest 120 yuan, but a common person who works very hard can get 10,800 yuan a year. Even if calculated on a very inefficient one-to-one basis, the factory should be able to harvest the same amount of money.
,What is this if not a win-win situation?
It's great to work hard and create a harmonious future. Why bother to work hard to calculate the wealth and be easily criticized by the people for being a harsh government?
However, Chen Xi's helplessness is that as far as the current society is concerned, Chen Xi cannot provide job opportunities to tens of millions of people. In fact, job opportunities were monopolized by a few people before the 20th century.
A state in which people who have to work are exploited back and forth.
Therefore, Chen Xi expressed his understanding of the Liangzhou people's resistance to taxes. Anyway, it is only one hundred and twenty yuan as a tax, so don't leave it. You want to fight, right? OK, I will prepare weapons and equipment for you. As long as you are qualified, there will be someone in the west to accept it, so
A group of Liangzhou people left happily.
After all, the status of soldiers in this era has not fallen to the level of Qiu Ba in the later period. Although it is far inferior to the status of "Jiu Jiu Wufu, Gonghou Qiancheng" in the Spring and Autumn Period, you have even heard the words "Nizuzi" from the mouths of aristocratic families.
, but if the military merit system is not abolished, even a wealthy family like Yuan Yang can only despise the individuals within it, but cannot despise the group.
Then Chen Xi gave the soldiers free of charge. Anyway, according to the market value of the things distributed every year, the price of snacks and dry goods given out at the end of the year is higher than that of the military gifts. What should I receive? Just treat it as welfare, and then
In addition, people in Liangzhou basically do not farm at present, and even if they do, they grow some strange cash crops on large state-owned farms.
In this way, as long as Liangzhou people join the army, they will be liberated on the spot, and there will be no taxes. As for oral money, Chen Xi has no interest in accepting money from children aged seven to fourteen to buy candy. He has been since he learned about this tax.
If you want to have sex with me, I will do it, and if you don't, I'll push you away.
If this tax hadn't been a tradition, Chen Xi would have abolished it long ago. It's only twenty cents. It's laborious and troublesome to collect. You have to collect it one by one. If you have this time, find a suitable job and work for a few days.
Maybe one person has paid out the money of many little losers.
However, what left Chen Xi speechless was that the Qin and Han bureaucracies were very good at collecting money. This group of people tied the oral money to the population statistics. After paying the oral money, the government office registered that the family had school-age children, and when they reached the age, they were sent to school.
The eldest princess also distributes snacks according to this list during the Chinese New Year.
In this way, the money can be collected at a decent rate over the years. After all, the people are very smart. The money is only 20 yuan. It is more than enough to wait for snacks twice a year, not to mention that you have to take care of meals when you go to school.
Handed over.
Chen Xi's idea of abolishing taxes and fees was killed by his overly strong ability to handle government affairs. Under the current situation, unless Chen Xi directly abolished the money, the people of the Central Plains would really be happy to pay the twenty cents.
After all, the quality of the official snacks distributed during the New Year is very reliable. The level of the leading pastry chef is definitely the best among the people in the world. The materials and materials used are also the most cost-effective in various places. In addition, the materials used are honest.
, the patterns are exquisite, after all, they are made by concentrating the advantages of various places, the scale is large enough, and the cost is diluted...
If it weren't for the purpose of protecting small workshops in various places, Chen Xi could kill all the local dim sum workshops with this method, because those people can only use the materials according to local conditions and are limited by logistics costs. It is impossible to do it without the command of a master.
Compared to the royal dim sum that combines the best ingredients from all over the world.
This is also an important reason why the money from the mouth can always be collected without any loss. The common people also know how to take advantage. What's more, although there is no spare money all year round, every time the money from the mouth is collected to calculate the tax, the grain has just been sold and the people are at their peak.
When I was rich, I even gave my unborn son some snack money.
After all, Liu Tong's snacks are only given out on official New Year's Days. You can't buy them at other times if you want. The snacks are only worth 20 yuan, but the snacks are worth a hundred yuan. If Chen Xi hadn't asked the officials to crack down on this kind of behavior, some people would even want to buy it from
Official fifty currency purchase.
Therefore, Chen Xi did not bother to comment on the short-sighted behavior of Liangzhou people. Anyway, just be happy and always understand the people's behavior.
Under this premise, those soldiers in Liangzhou who have trained very well and are strong because Chen Xi allocates food, vegetables and meat, eat enough and drink enough to withstand more crazy training, rely on instinct in the absence of excellent training generals.
After developing a talent, grab a horse from the north, or pick up a horse, register it, and then go to the Western Regions and pretend to be a Xiliang cavalry.
This is why there are almost 50,000 strong Liangzhou soldiers in Congling now. In fact, there were more than 100,000 at the beginning. Li Jue made a rough selection and finally found that they all had a special defense talent, so he divided these people into
The outstanding ones were sent to maintain law and order, while the noobs were all driven back.
It was originally planned to select a group of young people, train them with Wan Peng, and then join Zhang Xiu's command. However, before this was done, the situation became what it is now.
When it was determined that Cao Cao was going to attack Guishuang, Li Jue sent Song Guo back to recruit 20,000 people from Congling. Anyway, to Li Jue, both the unformed Xiliang soldiers and the formed Qiang cavalry were rubbish.
, pick out the tall ones among the dwarfs, just pick the twenty thousand ones who can fight best.
Now there are 20,000 people here. More than 4,000 of them were originally the elites that the three fools filled into the three talents, but they have not yet formed. Among the remaining 16,000, there are 5,000 Qiang cavalry.
These five thousand Qiang cavalry are the new generation of Qiang King's guard. Because of this selection, almost half of the old Qiang King's guard was eliminated. The new Qiang cavalry made up another five thousand people, and the remaining ten thousand
They are all Liangzhou warriors, and the leader is the stab head represented by Wang Shuang.
Hua Xiong liked to stab his head very much, and Liangzhou believed in fists. Hua Xiong led thousands of smoking cavalry to engage in a melee with these 10,000 people.
If it weren’t for the upcoming battle against Kushan, this time it would definitely be training with real swords and real guns instead of using unopened training weapons. The final result is self-evident. Tens of thousands of outstanding young men were defeated by Hua Xiong.
All his subordinates were killed.
Wang Shuang and others were the ones who managed to survive until the end, but it was meaningless. The Divine Iron Cavalry and the Sansha Guards managed to survive until the end, and none of them fell down.
In the end, thousands of people gathered around to watch the last few hundred people. Hua Xiong said that these hundreds of people were all qualified and could be directly incorporated into the thousands of them to carry out intensive assaults.
After being beaten so far, as long as he can still flutter, he is not weak at all.
