"And that's not all!" Tang Yu arched his hand and said: "King, there is little land and many people around Huiji, so in order to get more land, the people have to divide their households, otherwise there will be no way to meet the needs of the family."

However, this is not the case in other parts of Jiangdong, where there are large areas of wasteland that can be cultivated, and if the people are given land that can meet the needs of the nine people, and then they reclaim the land privately, then the goal of not separating households can be achieved.

Therefore, in order to prevent the people from stealing the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, the minister asked the king to issue an edict to check the population and land in Jiangdong every five years, so as to prevent the people from maliciously deceiving the country.

At the same time, the minister asked the king to follow the example of the Shiwu system of the Qin State, and set up a Shiwu in Jiangdong, with five households and one army, and ten households for Shiwu, to supervise each other, and if one family's land exceeds the limit, the whole army will be punished and distributed to Dongting for reclamation, of course, the whistleblower can be exempted.

In this way, a multi-pronged approach will surely be able to put an end to tax evasion and concealment of the population by the people in Jiangdong. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

The Shiwu system of the Qin State has long made Xiong Huai covetous, but even the counties directly controlled by the Chu State are difficult to implement. The reason is not because the state of Chu does not want to implement it, but because it does not have the strength to do it, because the power of the state of Chu can only extend to the counties, not to the grassroots.

Therefore, this has brought all kinds of drawbacks to the Chu State.

For example, on the issue of private land, private land does not have to pay taxes, in fact, private fields in Chu State also have to pay taxes.

Not only do you have to pay taxes, but the taxes you have to pay are not light, only a little lighter than those on public land.

The taxes of the Chu State are varied, which can be summed up as military taxes, land taxes, land rents, customs taxes, small state tributes, household registration taxes, and so on.

Among them, the military land tax and tenant population tax are directly related to the peasant households, and the military land tax and land rent are all related to private land.

Among them, the military levy is to meet the military needs, and the tax is levied on the land nationwide, and the object of this tax is all the land in the country, as long as it is the land of the Chu State, you must pay taxes, regardless of whether you are a private land of Wang Tian, a county land or a fief, a wasteland or a swamp, as long as it is the land of the Chu State, as long as it is ownery, whether it is developed or not, you need to pay taxes according to the agreed share.

The field tax is the most important tax of the Chu State, and most of the financial sources of the Chu State come from the field tax. For the field tax, the counties bear a very heavy tax, while the feudal lord has a lighter tax. When the state of Chu began to implement the fiefdom of the feudal monarch, the ministers of the court and the central government had a fierce quarrel because of the loss of national tax revenue, and finally the feudal monarch was forced to pay a certain amount of land tax and pay a certain tribute to the king of Chu every year.

Therefore, it stands to reason that private land also has to pay taxes.

However, if someone opens up private land and does not register it with the state, and the state does not know that there is already private land in that area, then naturally there is no need to pay taxes.

This is the crux of the fact that private land does not have to pay taxes.

It's like Xiong Huai's online shopping, at the beginning, he didn't pay taxes, not that he didn't have to pay taxes, but in fact it was too small, too many and too miscellaneous, sometimes there were transactions, sometimes there were not, this kind of thing was too troublesome to investigate, so I turned a blind eye and pretended not to know, and it passed.

At the beginning, Xiong Huai naturally liked to buy those cheap tax-free goods online, which could save him a lot of money.

However, now it is the turn of the people to pay their own taxes, and if they want to evade taxes, then they can't.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai couldn't help but "hum" lightly.

At this time, Tang Mo heard the soft snort of the King of Chu, and couldn't help but bow his head deeply, he knew the dissatisfaction in the heart of the King of Chu.

The last time the Chu State conducted a comprehensive and thorough survey of the land of the Chu State was more than two hundred years ago. Therefore, how much private land does the Chu State have now, because the King of Chu cannot send someone to check the fiefdom of the feudal monarch, nor can he go deep into the counties to inspect it, so that the King of Chu himself cannot figure out how many family resources the country has.

The same problem is population, because of the age, the king of Chu himself can't figure out how many people there are in the country.

But, in any case, there is no doubt that there must be much more than that in the classics of the Chu State.

If it weren't for the fact that the king of Chu had arranged a county lieutenant for each county not long ago, and after a big war, the county lieutenant quickly gained real power, he Tang Wu would not have proposed to take stock of the population and acres in Jiangdong every few years at this time.

The meritorious Ling Yin Zhaoyang failed to investigate the population, and the talented Qu Yuan, as well as himself, also failed, so that he had to take the initiative to leave Yingdu for refuge. So it's up to him to do it alone, and the weight is not enough.

Of course, the county lieutenant is just one of the reasons why he dares to mention it, if it weren't for the fact that this is Jiangdong, the territory that the Chu State has just laid down, and the king of Chu has not sealed the feudal monarch here, he would not dare to mention it.

It's too much of a stake.

At this moment, the two monarchs and ministers had their own thoughts, but after a period of time, they reached an agreement on the matter of population and land, and Tang Wu reached an agreement the moment he spoke.

Then, after calming down in the hall for a while, Xiong Huai thought about Tang Yu's suggestion again and again, and said, "Xianqing's plan is indeed feasible, but there is still a big problem. ”

"Big question?" Tang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then bowed: "The minister is dull, please make it clear to the king." ”

Xiong Huai smiled and said: "Xianqing's problem is not a problem in other aspects, the only problem is how the people can expand their fields. Wealth is what people yearn for, and although the widow hopes that all the people can live in poverty, it is difficult to achieve. If a person has one gold, he will want two gold, which is human nature.

In the same way, when the people have 100 acres of land, and marry a wife and have children, and the family is wealthy, they will want 200 acres of land, marry a concubine, and have more children, which is also human nature.

However, if the widow stipulates that a family can only own a maximum of 100 acres of land, then isn't the widow preventing the people under his rule from obtaining more wealth?

This is undesirable for the undesirable. ”

Tang Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, because the question that King Chu said was exactly what he was going to talk about next.

Thinking about it, Tang Yu immediately bowed his hand and said: "The king is benevolent and righteous, and his wisdom is far-reaching, and the ministers are not as good as one of them." As for what the king said..."

Tang Mo said confidently: "King, this thing is also very easy to do, if you want to drive the people, you must make the people profitable, and the best way to govern the country is to benefit from one."

Therefore, the minister thought that he could follow the example of the Qin State and set up low-level titles, and if ordinary people wanted to get more land, they could only get the title, as long as the title was promoted, then they could have more land.

And the promotion of the title is to obtain military merits and make a profit, which is the solution of the minister. ”

"Make a hole?" Xiong Huai shook his head when he heard this, and then refused without hesitation: "It's not appropriate, this policy is very inappropriate." ”
