Chapter 246 Drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle

Li Ru's action is undoubtedly first-class, and after getting the iron medal of Fei Qian, he immediately implemented it......

At a time when the Son of Heaven has been a myth for hundreds of years, the credentials issued in the name of the Son of Heaven are undoubtedly sacred and have a high degree of credibility. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In particular, the patterns carved on the iron plaque are even more attractive to those illiterate farmers.

What are the common people after?

Everything is fully reflected in the pattern on the iron plate.

This coveted thing, which has been paid for for generations and cannot be obtained in a lifetime, now only needs to move to Guanzhong, which is 600 miles away, and it will become a reality!

The Han Dynasty's system of taxation and servitude that was applied to the grassroots peasants was actually very terrible. Usually, an ordinary yeoman farmer needs to pay three kinds of money and grain to the state in the Han Dynasty:

One is the tax, this is not high, the beginning of the Han Dynasty set the fifteenth tax one, after Emperor Jing set the thirty tax one, has been used to this day, that is, the land is the state, the land has to pay taxes, but this tax is really not high......

The second is the calculation of taxes, which is different from light taxes, and the calculation of taxes has been constantly increasing. All people between the ages of 15 and 56 must pay a "donation", and 120 yuan per person is a "calculation" as a "calculation" for the management of the treasury. For example, merchants and slave cards should be doubled; If a woman does not marry at the age of 15-30, five counts.

But don't think that you don't have to pay money when you're young, people start from 7 years old to 14 years old, 20 yuan per person per year......

The third is conscription, the most common is the border service, that is, three days in a year must go to the border to defend the border for free.

If for the population who live on the edge of the national border, this kind of conscription is nothing, but just imagine a peasant who is far away in Jingxiang and asks him to bring his own food and weapons, pay for his own travel expenses, and go to Bingzhou, or even Youzhou, Liangzhou to the border for three days and then come back......

So it's basically unrealistic, so there is a "passing" money on behalf of the army, 300 wen a year......

In addition, there are temporary "military adjustments" and "verbal restraints", so in fact, it is very difficult for yeoman farmers to work their own land to balance the income and expenditure of the whole family.

Chao Cuo's "On Guisu Shu": "...... Today, there are no less than two farmers in a family of five, and those who can cultivate no more than 100 acres can harvest no more than 100 stones...... Do not shelter from wind and dust in spring, avoid heat in summer, avoid rain in autumn, and avoid cold and freezing in winter...... Diligence is like this, and it is still plagued by floods and droughts...... So there are those who sell their fields and houses, and their children and grandchildren to pay their debts......"

Therefore, in fact, at the end of the Han Dynasty, a large number of land was annexed, and the most fundamental reason was that these yeoman farmers living at the bottom may have no choice but to take the initiative to become vassals of the powerful and powerful, which led to a further reduction in the taxes that could have been collected, and they had to increase the taxes again, which led to the bankruptcy of the remaining peasants, a vicious circle......

So now, in the Heluo area, there are only a few so-called yeoman farmers who can maintain their own lives, and most of them are vassals in the countryside, and the local nobles have become hidden households......

Some have even been working for generations for these rural heroes and scholars.

Therefore, it is conceivable that when this vassal peasant household, who was so impoverished that he had nothing, suddenly had such an opportunity to obtain such attractive wealth in the blink of an eye, the mixed mood of restlessness, panic and joy.

This kind of sentiment is like a spreading plague, and in the blink of an eye, it has infected the area around Luoyang, and the most affected is Hongnong County, which is located on the edge of Luoyang.

Now most of the fertile land in Hongnong County is either included in the name of Hongnong Yang, or it is attached to the hands of other warriors who are related to Yang, so when Li Ru began to implement Feiqian's ironclad strategy, the entire Yang family was like a major earthquake, and even some old guys who were originally sitting at home watching the changes were shaken out......

Yang Biao smiled bitterly and put an iron card on the table and gently pushed it in front of Yuan Kui.

"This should be cooked in five tripods!" Yuan Kui also rarely expressed his attitude clearly, perhaps because the Yang family and the Yuan family have the same interests, or because this move is really too painful, "Li Ru thief!" It's really damnable! ”

Although Fei Qian has just been awarded the Left Office Squire, most people still think that this is a move made by Dong Zhuo or Cai Yong, and Dong Zhuo has also promoted many rural scholars in recent times, such as Xun Shuang, who was also promoted from a Bai Ding to the third prince, so for the time being, there is not much attention to Fei Qian, a small official with more than four hundred stones.

Yuan Kui, Yang Biao, and other cadres, still think that the introduction of a policy is Li Ru's ghost.

Yang Biao also gritted his teeth and said: "This move is to break our foundation!" End for the poison scheme also! "This time Yang Biao deliberately came to Yuan Kui, the purpose is to seek cooperation with the Yuan family, after all, the most affected now is the Hongnong Yang family, if it is allowed to develop, even if the Hongnong Yang family can remain in the division, without farmers, what's the point?

Could it be that the pampered old lady of the Yang family could also go to the field to do farm work? Even if you go to other places to absorb the displaced people, one is that you can't have time to come up, and if you can't catch up with spring ploughing, you will be abandoned for at least a year; Second, what if these displaced people are tempted again? Isn't it another wedding dress for others?

So Yang wanted to solve the current problem at once. Now those elders of the Yang family are blocking Yang Biao's door, asking Yang Biao to solve the problem, otherwise he will ......

Yang Biao also regretted it a little, and he would have resigned so early if he had known. Originally, I thought that under his leadership, the withdrawal of most of the officials in the Heluo area would be tantamount to drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle for moving the capital, which would inevitably force Dong Zhuo and Li Ru to slow down and struggle, but I didn't expect Li Ru to come back and use this trick now, it was simply a knife to the vital point of the Yang family, and the pain was unbearable.

Now Yang Biao came to seek help from the Yuan family, who was still in the officialdom, and in order not to let Dong Zhuo find out, he even did not hesitate to enter the Yuan Mansion from the side door through the side door of Jian Qu.

Yuan Kui looked at the iron card, and now the official launch is no longer the original simple appearance, not only the edge has more complex pattern decoration, it is obviously poured and slightly modified and polished after the mold is poured, and the original blank back is engraved with the text of the description and the big seal of Henan Yin, which is equivalent to using the name of the official to protect this iron card.

And now the distribution of this iron card has completely bypassed the grassroots officials of Yuan Yang and other factions, all of them are originally Xiliang's military scribes who are registered and distributed, and they can't find a target if they want to do something......

Yuan Kui put the iron card on the table, raised his palm, cut it on the text of the iron card like a knife, and said: "The only way to do this is to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle......
