Chapter 497: Cattle Killing Order and the Theory of Enriching the People
Chapter 497 Cattle Killing Order and the Theory of Enriching the People
Since manual work such as collecting shoe soles and knitting sweaters is not technical, the wages are naturally relatively low. As a result, the General Demand Department of m.xymjc. has saved a lot of personnel expenses, and the by-products in the state and other places have been effectively transformed.
Therefore, as the supreme commander of the Han Zheng Army, Liu Hanshao has already bragged to his brothers, saying that this winter, in addition to distributing cotton jackets and cotton pants, the troops in the north will also distribute sweaters and pants, gloves and necks, so that the brothers can contribute to the country warmly!
But after all, half of the people in the world are women, even if one person knits a sweater and accepts a pair of soles, it is enough for the other half to wear. Therefore, even if the wages of manual work are low, it can be regarded as a royal grace, and many people cannot compete for it.
So, what should more big women who can't compete for work do?
Do you want to force Liangshan?
In the past, there were no female soldiers in the Han Dynasty, and the Yun Eighteen Cavalry of Yong'an Palace was not under the jurisdiction of the military government, and now the military hospitals that have been built in various places one after another, and the nursing women used are not counted among the soldiers. It is definitely too late to recruit female soldiers, but Liu Hanshao asked the General Demand Department to recruit many female workers, mainly to work in various military food processing factories. For example, making fried noodles, making milk powder, and making canned food. Women love cleanliness and can also do these jobs, especially in canning factories, which cannot be machined yet, and after the bottles of canned food are steamed, they must be capped and sealed while they are hot, which requires a lot of people and fast hands.
On the one hand, there were the royal family and the army to take the lead in demonstrating, and on the other hand, young and strong laborers and high-level craftsmen all went to large factories with better treatment, so those small and medium-sized factories and workshops that were difficult to recruit people, and all walks of life began to recruit female workers one after another, opening the door to the women of the Han Dynasty.
But the women who dare to come out to work, after all, are still a minority, either forced to make a living, or dare to try, or the so-called poor city people, who have neither cloth to weave nor land to plant. However, what about the women scattered in the countryside with a larger base
After Liu Hanshao's discussion with the Prime Minister's government, it was decided to encourage the development of family farming. The so-called encouragement, to put it bluntly, is actually less rake, less peeling. However, in order to do this, the premise is that two bans must be lifted first, one is the "cattle killing order" and the other is the "meat eating order".
The Book of Rites says: "The princes do not kill cattle for no reason, the doctors do not kill sheep for no reason, the scholars do not kill dogs and pigs for no reason, and the common people do not eat treasures for no reason." The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the Han law also had clear provisions that "no slaughter of young teeth" was allowed, and those who committed suicide could be sentenced to "abandon the market" and pay for the cattle's lives.
Cattle are the foundation of farming, and horses can be far away for the army, so these big animals must be protected, which can be regarded as the earliest "animal protection law". On the other hand, the emperor can eat cattle, and if the common people can also eat cattle, then why does it seem that the emperor is better than the common people
In order to promote four-wheeled carriages and new clothes, Liu Hanshao fooled Lao Yang and them to let go of a lot of etiquette, and now he wants to fool them to let go of these two prohibitions.
Speaking of which, everyone was busy rebelling and countering the rebellion before, and even ate human flesh, and these prohibitions were useless, but in the days to come, when they settled down day by day, what should they do if they swagger back again?
When he first heard this, Lao Yang was also worried, saying that His Majesty wanted everyone to eat meat and live a good life, we can understand this thought, but if the ban is lifted, everyone will catch the cattle and horses and eat them violently, and what will happen if they are eaten and extinct
No more ploughing
In this regard, Liu Hanshao made a fierce argument with Lao Yang and others, and asked him, if your family has 50 acres of land and raises a cow to plough, will it be eaten because of greed
On the contrary, this "cattle killing order", at first glance, seems to be protecting cattle, but in fact, it makes the economic value of cattle lower. Don't eat meat, don't sell for money, in addition to arable land, what is the use of it, accidentally raise to death, but also have to raise cattle, who dares to raise more cattle on the other hand, allowed to eat cattle, allowed to sell meat, to the forage can also be milked, the economic value of cattle has improved, everyone has the enthusiasm to raise cattle.
Things in the world are so strange, sometimes the more you want to protect, the result is the opposite, basically equivalent to what to protect and what to destroy. For example, advocating filial piety, even if it is the head of Qian, the people can eat meat casually when they are over seventy, speaking of which, this should also be regarded as protecting the elderly, but if he really hasn't eaten meat in his life, let him eat it with his mouth open when he is old, and if he accidentally holds it up, he eats it, who should he count
Although there are still a lot of doubts, Yang Biao is not Wang Yun, and he will not fight with Liu Hanshao, and under Liu Hanshao's toss over the years, many things that seem unreliable have been done by him, so he agreed to this proposal.
Now, the ordinary people of the Han Dynasty are not allowed to eat anything except human flesh, they can eat whatever they want, except for uniforms, they are not allowed to wear whatever they want, and they can wear whatever they want, which invisibly expands the consumption space for them.
Then there is the question of how to encourage the development of family farming.
After further deliberation, it was finally decided that each family should take the large livestock, cattle, horses, and camels raised by each family within five of them, and no tax should be paid; Medium-sized livestock, pigs, sheep, and dogs, within 20 years, do not need to pay tax; Small poultry, livestock, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, within hundreds, do not need to pay taxes.
At the same time, two new prohibitions were set up, which must be observed: first, urban households, which are not included; Second, it can only be kept in captivity, not free-range.
If the living environment is stable, there are no disasters and wars, and there are no exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the speed of development of the peasant family is still very fast. But when that time comes, if every family drives five cows and twenty sheep up the mountain to graze, a mountain is enough to gnaw for a few days, so although the number of livestock allowed to be "tax-free storage" is quite large, whether they can really be raised depends on whether the people are industrious enough to cut back so much forage.
For this proposal, at first Lao Yang did not agree with it, we Han people are more than tens of millions, if every family raises so many livestock and does not pay taxes, then how much money does the country have to make less Your Majesty, have you forgotten, I, the prime minister, am in debt, and I haven't paid off the bank loan until now!
Liu Hanshao shouted: "Lao Yang, your account is wrong!" "ξ¬x33 ε°θͺ¬ζζΊθ©η«―:tts:γ½γ
If the people raise their own livestock, kill themselves and eat themselves, are we embarrassed to go to their pot to grab a piece of meat, but if they sell livestock, kill and sell meat, do they have to pay taxes, if there are businessmen who sell cattle and sheep from the state to Luoyang, do they also have to pay taxes, if the cattle and sheep are processed into bacon, sausages and canned food, and then sell them, do they have to pay taxes?
This is called "value-added production", the intermediate links make money layer by layer, we collect taxes layer by layer, not only can we feed more people, but also receive more taxes, how can it be less
Lao Yang covered his face and pondered for a long time, and finally asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, according to this, is it true that whoever eats meat in the end will be responsible for paying taxes?"
Liu Hanshao said confidently: "That's right! He has money to eat meat, so he should not take some shredded meat from between his teeth and pay taxes
Why?"
So Lao Yang covered his face again and wondered if he had eaten too much meat recently, and His Majesty had an opinion
However, Liu Hanshao put his arm around Lao Yang's shoulders and said earnestly: "Lao Yang, the people take food as the sky, and agriculture is the foundation of the country, this is right."
Insert a sentence, the source change artifact A is really good, it's worth pretending, after all, there are many sources, all the origins,!
Well, that's right.
"Therefore, if our farmers in Dahan are stable, Dahan is basically stable, and this is not wrong."
That's right, you continue to fool.
But why are the peasants often unable to be stable, is it because they are not strong enough, floods, droughts, locust plagues, just like that, may be lost in a year's harvest? War, disease, exploitation, just come and a home may be ruined. said that it is the foundation, but in fact, they are the lowest and most difficult group of people, and they are also the group of people who have the most inability to protect themselves. But it's just a group of them, if they are really forced to live and can't survive, they all jump up and rebel as yellow scarves, then can our big men still be stable, can we people still be stablex
Do you think my brother can make them rich, unless the grain can be sold at the same price as the carriage and the pendulum clock. Brother just wants them not to be so poor! If we can give them a chance to be fed and clothed, give them a little surplus of family resources, and give them a little more ability to fight against diseases and disasters, they will always be the most reliable cornerstone of our Han.
Believe it or not, even if you want to give him cattle and land, even if you want to give him cattle and land, he is not willing to do that job, because that job is hard!
Lao Yang, I believe that brother, the people are rich, and the country can be strong, if the country is too rich, the people will only be strong!
Two old bans were lifted and two new bans were added, and the people said they didn't feel anything. Because those who can't afford to eat meat still can't afford to eat for the time being, where can they go to kill cattle and there are no cattle at home, so naturally they don't have to worry about exceeding the tax exemption.
Of course, the article was polished and processed by Chen Lin, and he did not dare to say that the people are always poor, but hyped up the view of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty that "only when the people are rich can the country be strong"!
So, in the minds of the people of the Han Dynasty, regardless of whether we are rich or not, Your Majesty can have this desire to make us rich, and that is our benefactor.
As a result, Liu Hanshao's prestige among the people has once again been greatly improved.
After all, Xu Yu of the People's Bank is a proud son in the industry, after learning that His Majesty wants to vigorously support family farming, he saw the business opportunity, and immediately took a wave of small gifts, and specially launched a new business of low-interest breeding loans.
Of course, spending money should not be too casual, and if you want to borrow money from the bank, you must first have a farmer with land to plant, so that you can have a guarantee of loan repayment. Even if we can't take his land, we can still take the grain from his land. In addition, there is a cap on loans, and at most you can lend money to one cow.
But even so, it not only catered to the decree of the above, but also encouraged ordinary farmers, so that Xu You was well received and praised by Liu Hanshao.
The people's minds were finally agitated and lively, who doesn't want to live a good life, those who originally had some foundation can raise a few more, and those who have no foundation but have the courage can take out loans to buy livestock. The increase in demand has led to the price of cattle and horses rising all the way, and it seems that Liangji Erzhou can have a fat year this year, and then the camel also took this opportunity to quietly go to the front of more Han people. x
Buy me, I'm cheap. It can be used for ploughing land during the day and at night! div
The Great Han Emperor flickered
Wonderful!
