Ma Qiang slowly opened his eyes, looked at the green orange in his arms, and couldn't help but pet it hard, feeling the elasticity seriously.

"Huh? Brother Pony, are you awake? Qingcheng was a little shy, and looked at Ma Qiang's face a little happily, "I'll serve you, get up." ”

"No, you can sleep for a while, I'll get up by myself, and don't go to the institute and the academy today." Ma Qiang let Qingcheng continue to sleep, and he got out of bed and washed.

Anyway, Ma Qiang doesn't have any elders, and Qingcheng doesn't need to get up to say hello or anything.

"What's the breakfast in the house today?" Ma Qiang asked the attendant on the side while washing.

"In addition to the three old things such as steamed buns, steamed buns, and porridge, today there are also egg scones and pancake fruits."

"Give me an egg scramble, add a tenderloin and tofu skin, send it directly to my study, and then a bowl of hot soy milk, and then prepare the same for Madame... Forget it, two copies. ”

Ma Qiang still knows the amount of food for those who practice martial arts.

When he came to the study, after Ma Qiang sat down, someone told Ma Qiang to start working.

After a while, the phone rang.

Ma Qiang always feels that he is now the same as the girl in a certain hospital, and he is listing to do business....

"Hey, I'm Ma Qiang."

"Ming Gong, humble Huajing, the matter of Dutian has ended, can it be convenient to report."

"Okay, it's empty now, come here!"

As soon as Ma Qiang hung up the phone, the phone rang again.

"Ming Gong, Luoyang telegram!"

It was Duan Ying's voice.

"Let Jia Xu come to the staff together, Hua Jing just happened to talk about Dutian, you can listen to it together."

After a while, the three of them arrived in turn, and Ma Qiang asked Hua Jing to talk about Dutian first.

"Ming Gong, now that the fields in various places have been basically completed, this is a summary of the fish scale book."

Ma Qiang took the fish scale book, which was also not available in the Han Dynasty.

The so-called fish scale book, is the land registration book, which not only writes the name, location, and belonging of all the houses, mountains, ponds, and fields, but also corresponds to the charts, according to history, this thing should only appear in the Song Dynasty, and the real large-scale use will be in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

The appearance of the fish scale register not only represents the government's high degree of control over the grassroots land, but also represents the guarantee of taxation.

In history, Emperor Hongwu was hacked so badly, this small booklet can account for at least one-third of the credit.

Of course, the so-called you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, even in the era of developed information in later generations, there is no way to put an end to the phenomenon of embezzlement, but at present, this new land registration system still has a lot of deterrent effect.

"Okay, I'll look at the details later, can you briefly tell me, how much has the increase in arable land?"

"It has increased by about 40 percent, and after this field increase, there are now about 8.7 million mu of cultivated land in the whole plain..."

Forty percent... That is to say, about 2.5 million acres of land were not recorded in the accounts, and naturally no one would pay taxes.

This is still because of the prosperity of Ding Xing, a native of the Plains, and the fact that Ma Qiang reclaimed the wasteland before, otherwise this proportion may have to be more than fifty percent.

That's it, it's already in the last years of the dynasties, it's a good result.

You must know that the time when the tax collection field of the Ming Dynasty was halved was during the Hongzhi period, that is, the era of Zhang Juzheng, so it seems that if the Eastern Han Dynasty encounters a Ming lord and the Three Kingdoms Heroes who are about to play, it will not be a problem to hold on for another hundred years.

If you think about it carefully, if Liu Bei's Shu Han is counted, he has indeed lived for more than seventy years.

"This additional field should have no landlord, right?" Ma Qiang flipped to Gaotang County, looked at the fields of the Hua family, put them on the table and said, "At least, there should be no names of these landlords in our yamen, right?" ”

Hua Jing swallowed his saliva, what he was most afraid of was that Ma Qiang would ask about it.

"Ming Gong, although this is the case, but these fields are actually ripe fields, each has a landlord to cultivate, if you recognize these fields as official fields, I am afraid that there will be a big chaos, please Ming Gong think twice."

Hua Jing said this, on the one hand, he has his own selfishness, after all, Hua's fields are also a lot, but more of them are out of public intentions, these fields involve almost all the big clans, if all of them are confiscated as official land, these big clans will inevitably fight with the government.

Taxation and confiscation are two different concepts entirely.

Ma Qiang was also a little hesitant in his heart.

In this era, wouldn't it be too radical to directly fight local tyrants and divide the land?

Ma Qiang looked at Duan Ying and Jia Xu, hoping that the two of them could say something.

Duan Ying arched his hand and said, "Duke Ming, since someone wants to claim these encroached fields, as long as he makes up the taxes that should be paid before, I think it is okay." ”

Make up your taxes?

Jia Xu stroked his beard and praised, "My country is in need of money and food, if we can really make up for the previous arrears of taxes, it is also a good thing!" ”

Ma Qiang nodded, he was about to compete with each other, and it was true that no amount of money and food was enough.

Moreover, the population of the Eastern Han Dynasty, as long as the government is willing, can always find fields for them to cultivate, and when the time comes, the fields will even become a burden in a short period of time.

"In this case, if someone wants to claim the land found out by Dutian, within one month, pay ten years of taxes, you can get the land deed, in addition, this tax is set up to an upper limit, set at half of the public price of the field, the public price of the same grade in the previous three months shall prevail, as for the person who buys, the person who is cultivating is the first priority, that is, who is planting, who is preferential."

Ma Qiang thought for a while, and then said, "Also, allow Qian Zhuang to lend money to Qianshou who wants to buy land, remember, it can only be Qianshou!" ”

"Ming Gong, this method is still too urgent, let's slow it down."

"Don't delay any longer!" Ma Qiang waved his hand and said, "Come out and mix, you always have to pay it back!" If you think it's expensive, you don't want to claim it! I didn't force them! ”

Hua Jing saw that Ma Qiang had made the final decision, so he could only retreat.

After Ma Qiang waited for Hua Jing to retreat, he picked up the phone and said, "Pick me up Huang Zhong!" ”

"Hansheng, I have just told Hua Jing about the follow-up measures for Dutian, I'm afraid that some people will be unhappy, the garrisons around the country should strengthen vigilance, don't be afraid of accidents, well, that's it."

Ma Qiang hung up the phone and sighed to Duan Ying and the others, "Let Huang Hansheng do such a thing, I feel more and more overkill, I am going to set up a new department dedicated to low-intensity internal suppression and counterinsurgency, what do you think?" ”

"I don't know what the name of this department is?" Duan Ying has no objection to Ma Qiang's decision, the plain country has been sorted out by Ma Qiang several times, and in the face of the upcoming war, it is indeed inappropriate to let Huang Zhong spend his mind on such a thing.

"Let's call it Jinyiwei."

Ma Qiang originally wanted to name it the armed police or something, but he was worried about a certain divine beast in the underworld, so he finally decided to move out the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty.

"Jinyiwei... Looks like the department is being treated well. Jia Xu said with a smile.

"You can't just work without food, okay, let's talk about the situation in Luoyang." Ma Qiang looked at Duan Ying.
