The bookkeeper of the tavern was accustomed to watching the fight in front of him. There are a few times a month, each time the tables, chairs and benches in the entire lobby are smashed, and every time the guests have to be given free orders.

These departing customers have long been accustomed to it. Anyway, these generals are measured, they can't stand the injury, and they can watch a martial arts scene for free, and by the way, they are free of charge. They're all about to treat this as a tavern deal, and they often come to take advantage of it.

The account office also saw the thoughts of these people, but thinking of the tavern's better and better performance, he weighed it and found that it would not lose much, and his boss was not in a hurry, what else was he anxious about?

That's right, the owner of this restaurant is Zhang Liao.

In order to prevent the problem of corruption and bribery, Yuan Shu placed some industries and land for the important generals and officials under his command, and let them toss around. Anyway, they occupy the prime location of Jinling, that is, they can earn tens of thousands of dollars every month by collecting rent, and they are absolutely rich and noble.

This restaurant is one of Zhang Liao's industries. Every time Wei Yan and Gan Ning were unhappy, they came here to eat and drink for nothing, and by the way, they damaged some tables, chairs and benches to vent their anger. In fact, there is not much money, so Zhang Liao has never cared.

Gan Ning and Wei Yan fought, and they hit Zhang Liao's side. The corners of Zhang Liao's eyes twitched, and here it is again!

Sure enough, the two people who were originally in a mess instantly tacitly besieged Zhang Liao, and in the face of two generals who were basically no less than themselves, Zhang Liao could only flee in the desert under a punch and kick.

Looking at Zhang Liao's escape, Gan Ning and Wei Yanle stopped their hands and hooked their shoulders together: "Xiao Er, two more jars of the best wine, pack!" ”

In the government hall, the generals were all gone, and a group of strategists were left behind by Yuan Shu.

"Do we still have any problems and hidden dangers in Yangzhou?"

Yuan Shu handed over all political affairs to these strategists. Although the outline is definitely correct, the specific details are not clear, and the insight of these strategists is limited by the times, and there will always be problems in some places.

As usual, Tian Feng stood up and said as a cliché: "Lord, my Jiangdong is still in a state of loss every month!" ”

Listening to Tian Feng's tone, Yuan Shu knew that he was warning himself that he must not spend money indiscriminately, touched the cold sweat on his head and said, "Well, what Yuan Hao said is." Fengxiao, you must pay attention in the future, you can't spend money indiscriminately! ”

Yuan Shu decisively threw this pot to Guo Jia, who was not in shape. Guo Jia said that he was also helpless! However, seeing Yuan Shu's vicious expression, he could only take a sip of wine silently.

Then everyone took turns to report some problems encountered, and Yuan Shu gave general ideas and solutions one by one. These people are all smart people, a little bit thorough, as long as Yuan Shu gives them an idea, they can be the whole eight or nine, otherwise the development of Yangzhou will not be so fast.

Then, Yuan Shu glanced at Tian Feng cautiously: "Since the policy of reclaiming land is going well, then we will promulgate another policy next." Abolish the poll tax! ”

Yuan Shu has wanted to abolish the poll tax for a long time, which is the root cause of the emergence of black households.

The reason why I didn't do this in the past was because the poll tax accounted for too much of the tax, basically about thirty percent of Yangzhou's total tax revenue, once it was canceled, Yuan Shu himself didn't feel anything, but Tian Feng would definitely stop it.

But it doesn't matter, it's good to take small steps and small steps, and there won't be many hidden dangers and won't collapse. The apportionment of the acres was originally based on the control of land and household registration, and now it is just right.

With the rapid growth of commercial tax revenue and agricultural tax revenue, especially the bumper grain harvest in Yangzhou this year, Yangzhou's poll tax has been less than half of the total tax revenue, and Yuan Shu also launched this policy in a timely manner.

In this way, Yangzhou's population growth will be a qualitative leap. To put it mildly, the natural rate of population growth has at least doubled.

Tian Feng is not an ignorant person, and the problem of urging Yuan Shu to spend money on weekdays is just that he is afraid that Yuan Shu will spend money indiscriminately. The pros and cons of abolishing the poll tax Tian Feng is very clear, compared with the lost tax, the population is very important for the vast and sparsely populated Yangzhou.

A little bit of geographical knowledge shows that Yangzhou is about three times the size of most states and counties in the north. Although there are only four states in the south, it occupies nearly half of the territory of the Han Dynasty, but the population is less than a quarter of the total population.

The goal of Yuan Shu's first stage was to unify the south, so the population was crucial. According to Yangzhou's current development rate, as long as the population can keep up, within ten years, Tianfeng will be able to ensure that one Yangzhou is worth three northern states. The land of fish and rice is not blown!

Tian Feng didn't object, so the others naturally had no reason to object.

Lu Su looked at Yuan Shu with admiration and said: "Lord Rende, this move will definitely attract more people to come to my Yangzhou, so that the people's hearts will be attached." ”

Zhang Zhao frowned: "Then my lord, there is still an important issue now, household registration." ”

"There were a lot of loopholes in my household registration in Yangzhou in the past, so I might as well take this opportunity to improve my household registration."

Zhang Hong nodded: "There is also the issue of land taxation. The issue of the government's cost of renting land and concessions and the resettlement of new displaced people. ”

Fu Zhu added: "The merger of the villages proposed by the lord can also be carried out by the way. ”

Gu Yong took this opportunity to say, "The issue of slaves and Shanyue still needs to be considered. ”

Xun You opened his eyes silently, and Mu Ne seemed to say to himself: "Those black households of the family also have to find a way to solve it!" ”

Fa Zheng, who had just been promoted because of his merits, also joined in the fun: "Isn't it okay to do the grading and certification of craftsmen and doctors?" ”

Seeing the strategists asking a lot of questions, Yuan Shu felt that his head hurt. It's so troublesome to run a state, and it doesn't have to be exhausting to run a country? It is no wonder that the average lifespan of emperors in the Han Dynasty was less than forty. But what needs to be done has to be done.

"Since the household registration was proposed by Zibu, you are responsible for reformulating it. Be sure to be thorough and precise. ”

"On the issue of land taxation, land that does not belong to the government is levied as 20% as tax, and 1/20% of government land is levied as tax. In this case, it is estimated that within a few years, most of the land in the hands of the people will be recovered, and then the land will basically be completely controlled by the government. Zhang Hong, you go and deal with this matter. ”

"On the issue of merging villages, there have been quite a few small towns that can accommodate thousands of people. The government will not employ the people of small villages with a population of less than 500 in Yangzhou, and the taxes will be increased by half on the original basis. However, it should be noted that if there are some special circumstances, you can deal with them as appropriate. Civilians in villages of less than 200 people were to be forcibly moved into towns and towns, and local troops were allowed to cooperate. I'll take care of this. ”

"All slaves, as long as they are willing to get rid of the status of slaves, let them all go to labor reform, and after a year they will be given the status of commoners. The Shanyue people should pay attention to scattering them among the people as much as possible, and slowly wear off their wildness. Gu Yong, you are responsible."

"The black family of the family, Xun You, you come forward to discuss with them, the government uses money to buy, and the price is the same as that of ordinary slaves. These people will run away sooner or later anyway, and if they hide it, it is risky, and they don't make much money. These families must also understand that they are just unwilling, and it is up to us to compensate them and be the wronged leader. ”

"Finally, the question of ratings such as craftsmen and physicians. Find a number of recognized grandmasters or masters in various fields, and they will be responsible for formulating the assessment questions. Filial piety, I will leave it to you to practice. ”

After talking a lot, Yuan Shu felt that his mouth was dry, and after drinking a large sip of tea, he asked, "Is there any more problem?" ”
