The next day, early in the morning, Chen Wenhui called Yujin to invite Jian Da and Wan Shuhui to come over. Chen Wenhui said what she heard from Gui Yuxia, and then drank tea to see how the two of them reacted.

Jian Da first said: "Actually, because these barbarian prisoners of war have ransomed themselves one after another, there are many barbarian students in the school. There are a lot of good seedlings in this who learn martial arts. I've already fought with the children of the Black Family a few times. Hehe, I occupied the light of the snake on the ground, and grabbed several good seedlings, which gave the black family a lot of popularity. ”

Chen Wenhui didn't know about this, and asked with great interest when she heard this: "Have you accepted an apprentice?" After accepting these apprentices of other races, aren't you afraid that they will turn against the water in the future? ”

Jian Da said: "If it was in Da Chu, I really wouldn't dare to accept it. But what are you afraid of in Luzon, they are the same as us here, and our enemies are all natives. By the way, as I told you before, some time ago, didn't it happen that the natives hurt our plantation owners? On that occasion, the natives sent forty or fifty people at once, but they were stunned to call back to the plantation owner. The plantation owner was a barbarian. There were seven or eight members of their own family, plus a dozen or so Japanese slaves, and although they had no weapons, they still repelled the natives with wooden sticks and the like. The combat power of these barbarian people is strong. ”

Chen Wenhui thought for a moment and said: "Once these people return to the grasslands in the north, they will still be a scourge to our Great Chu, but they are our residents here, and they have the same hatred as us." However, in the future, they will have money, there will be people, and the population will develop. It will be huddled together, and at that time, what will happen to the rule that threatens us in turn? ”

This Jian Da didn't think about it, and couldn't help but ponder when he heard it.

Wan Shuhui said: "It's not just the problem of these prisoners, we have other problems. Those who became rich first continued to enclose the land, constantly open up the wasteland, and all in their hands were large farms. It's the ordinary people. It's easy to save enough money. The ground around us has been opened. Many of them want to farm, but there is no land to cultivate, and they will be five years old in two years. A lot of people are afraid to make fun of residency. ”

"I also found that many people in the city are reluctant to do farm work, and many of them are willing to go to workshops or do business," Chen said. It's better than digging in the soil. But our hukou policy doesn't require them to farm the land, a lot of them. If you barely open up the wasteland, you can't farm well, which is a great waste. ”

"This is not only wasteful, but it also immobilizes a lot of people on the land, making it impossible for the workshops in the city to recruit people," Wan said. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Because of these free barbarians. There are children of mixed race who may appear in the future, or even those who have already appeared, and these do not want to farm. Or for the people who have no land to plant, our household registration system should be reformed. ”

Wan Shuhui nodded.

Chen Wenhui said: "We want to keep these barbarians. As Janda said, these people are all very good combat power. However, the hearts of those who are not of our race will be different, and we must not relax our vigilance, so we must use a reasonable system for them to promote their integration into our Great Chu. Also, why did we require all the people to have land in the first place in order to be eligible for residency? It's because we're new to the city, and there is too much wasteland around us, so we can't complete the development so quickly without this method. Now that our urban development is saturated, forcing us to use the methods of the Acropolis, this system is clearly no longer suitable. So I thought about a few points, you guys refer to them. ”

Wan Shuhui and Jian Da listened busily.

Chen Wenhui took out the piece of paper she had written yesterday and said, "First, it is to abolish the rule that you must have 100 mu of land per capita to become a resident. As long as we are the people of Qingchun City, we either don't farm, or we don't have jobs or businesses. Those who have business must take out the certificate issued by our Qingchun City, those who farm have a land deed, and those who work must have a salary slip of the workshop. It is to give them a voucher for the monthly salary. With this talent, we can be regarded as residents of Qingchun City, and we can enjoy free schooling for our children and free medical care. The same applies to newcomers. By the way, you must buy your own house. Even the cheapest house. This boosts our residential sales. ”

Wan Shuhui nodded and said: "In this way, there will definitely be more people who are willing to work, and our more workshops will naturally produce more things, so that there will be more things to trade with Da Chu." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "In addition to this, this is a temporary rule. After three years, we in Qingchun City began to collect land tax, and after the poll tax, it was necessary to add it to the resident regulations, and only those who paid the tax could be residents. This is called a taxpayer. Our schools and hospitals are built with taxpayers' money, and only taxpayers can enjoy them, and if they don't pay taxes, they can't enjoy them. Our officials in Qingchun City are different from those in Dachu. The officials of Dachu can avoid taxes, but the officials in Qingchun City are the same as the people, and the officials must also pay as much as they pay. Me too. Only taxpayers are protected by the army and can enjoy the benefits of the population. ”

Wan Shuhui said: "Taxpayers are really new. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "This policy will definitely not work in Dachu, but in Qingchun City, it is up to me." So there should be no problem. ”

Wan Shuhui nodded, for example, her, for example, Qiu Bi, although she is the ruler of Qingchun City, in the final analysis, she was originally Chen Wenhui's house slave, can she keep Chen Wenhui? This Qingchun City was not built at the expense of Emperor Dachu, and every grass and tree was Chen Wenhui's own. Of course, there is no resistance.

Chen Wenhui continued: "The second point is that in the future, all barbarian residents must be taxed at an additional rate. But if this barbarian family has members of Da Chu, for example, a girl who married Da Chu. In this way, the family will no longer be taxed at this percentage. If a mixed-race member is born, such a child, we will not only give those things according to the current newborn system, but also add two taels of silver as congratulations. Also, if the family of Da Chu marries a girl from the barbarian clan, then the family's taxes will be reduced by one percent. If a mixed-race newborn is born, two taels of silver will be added as a congratulation. ”

Wan Shuhui's eyes couldn't help but widen: "What do you mean, is it to promote intermarriage?" ”

"I think marriage is free. If they want to marry someone of their own tribe, we are in favor of it, but the tax is a little higher. There is nothing at all, love is more important than anything else. However, if some families choose to intermarry in order to reduce taxes, we cannot ask for it. Only in this way intermarry with each other, after a few years, or decades, hundreds of years, there will be no barbarians, only the children of the new Qingchun City. ”

Wan Shuhui couldn't help but say: "This trick is really amazing, if there is a girl with Da Chu in the family, or a child with Da Chu blood, they have to think about it, they can't be huddled together, they can't be divided." ”

Jian Da said with a smile: "I heard from a master of the Black Family's Alchemy Hall that most of these mixed-race children are more intelligent, and there is a high chance of giving birth to children with good qualifications. In the future, I will definitely be able to recruit children with unqualified qualifications as apprentices. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "This master of the black family is very right, most of the mixed-race children are not only smart, but also beautiful. ”

Wan Shuhui asked strangely: "City Lord, are you a girl from a big family?" How can you understand everything at such a young age? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled.

On the same day, this policy began to be discussed within the city lord's mansion, although many people were very unhappy about the fact that officials had to pay taxes the same, but they saw that the people in the upper echelons did not show it, so they naturally did not dare to speak up, so these policies were quickly implemented.

While the officials were busy implementing the new hukou policy, Chen Wenhui was discussing new issues with Wan Shuhui.

Chen Wenhui said: "Now the land in our Qingchun City has been almost integrated after countless sales. Now our people are like the people of Dachu, there is no land to cultivate. The land is in the hands of those who have it. ”

Wan Shuhui sighed and said, "There is no way to do this. For example, the land on the edge of the city, at the beginning, was indeed 100 acres per person or 1 or 200 acres per person. But later, many people became rich, and many merchants from Dachu came to Qingchun City, they were not short of silver, they didn't want to work hard to open up the wasteland, and they didn't want land far from the city. So they bought the land on the edge of the city at a high price. Originally, when we first sold it, it was one tael of silver and two acres of land. Someone gave out a tael of silver and an acre of land. It's doubled all at once. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "It is normal to double, people have turned wasteland into good land, how can it be twice as hard, and it should be doubled." ”

Wan Shuhui said: "Just double it." Then there were richer people, and in order to buy the land, they offered a higher price, so that the price of the land became two taels, three taels, and even five taels of silver per acre of land. Of course, this price cannot be compared with the price of land in the capital. But it is already about the same as the price of some land in the northwest or in the south of the Yangtze River. Is there still an advantage to our land in this way? Most of the people who want to come to Nanyang are greedy for the cheap land here, and now, without the price advantage, are they still willing to come? ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said: "This is the law of market prices, where there is demand, there is a market, and we are not good to intervene too much." Therefore, we can only build the Acropolis and develop more land, so that those who want to cultivate the land can also find cheap land to cultivate. (To be continued)
