During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the problem of land annexation was very serious, because under the system at that time, the Gaomen clan had a lot of means to legally obtain a large amount of land. Moreover, many of these lands are basically tax-free. For example, an official of the Eastern Jin Dynasty court, in addition to his own wealth, was a large landowner himself, and according to the law, the amount of land he could legally own was a huge amount.

In addition, his family may have hundreds or even thousands of servants, and this is not counting the people such as the tribes and tenants. Every official was entitled to a certain amount of land as a result of these people, and there was also a certain amount of tax exemption.

If a high-ranking official can get 500 acres of land for his own family, and each slave can get 50 acres, then a high-ranking official with fifty slaves in his family can imagine how much land he will have in his family.

Counting the people who donated their fields to the families of the great officials in order to avoid the taxes of the imperial court, this is even more.

In the past, Guanzhong, as the capital of the Qin, Han and Jin dynasties, was the place where the world's great surnames lived, and it was the most serious for the land annexation here. In the past, looking around from Chang'an City, as far as the eye could see, it was basically either the land of the royal family or the land of high-ranking officials and wealthy people.

Among them, the land that really belongs to the common people to pay taxes is very small, at least on the surface. If Li Xin was facing such a situation now, I am afraid that he would already be in a hurry.

Fortunately, after so many years of war, today's Guanzhong is no longer the same situation as it was at the beginning. Those famous families and surnames are basically dead and escaped, and among them, there are especially many who fled to Jiangzuo.

For example, families such as the surname Wang and the surname Xie are now first-class families in Jiangzuo. Although it is said that they ran away, if there is a real chance, I am afraid that they will not be willing to give up those ancestral properties, even if these fields are not very glorious in the first place.

If Li Xin's new policy of acres of land is officially announced to the world, once those people send someone back with the land deed, I am afraid that most of the land in the entire Guanzhong will now become theirs.

Although it is said that because most of the part has been allocated in the past few years, the impact may not be so great if it is not retroactive. But the impact on the future should never be underestimated. From this point of view, Xu Fuzi's concern is definitely legitimate.

"Well, that's a problem. We have implemented the policy of distributing land so that more people can have something to eat, be able to feed their families, and develop our economy and strength. If this method defeats the original intention, then it doesn't make much sense! Think about it, is there a way to solve this problem! After Li Xin listened, he pondered for a moment and asked everyone.

Everyone used their brains to think of a way.

"According to the opinion of the lower officials, we might as well be like this! At the same time as the implementation of the new land policy, it was stipulated that half of the land that was abandoned for one year should be recovered. If you haven't cultivated it for two years, you will take it all back! Moreover, the fields that have been recovered will not be returned to them! In this way, no matter whether the other party is a big family or not, whether it is just a registration or not, the field must be planted! After a while, Liang Ping, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said first.

This method made everyone's eyes shine, after all, the purpose of distributing fields is to harvest grain in the final analysis! As long as this final result is achieved, then, no matter how the other party does it, it will not be able to get around it after all!

"Okay, that's a great idea! Write it down first! Li Xin said happily.

"If that's the case, we might as well change something else!" Wang Meng said thoughtfully.

"Oh, what does Jingluo think? Tell me about it! Li Xin said curiously.

"If all the fields are used, our taxes will naturally be no problem! But if you only rely on the acres of land, this tax will not come up after all. Even if it is combined with other commercial taxes, it is the same result! On the one hand, we must try to increase the total amount of tax revenue, so that we have the strength to do a lot of things. On the other hand, it is necessary to find ways to attract displaced people and increase the population. I think these two things can be combined! Wang Meng glanced at everyone and said slowly.

Everyone didn't speak, and listened attentively to his words, especially Xu Fuzi, who had already begun to record at this time.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Wang Meng continued: "First of all, we should thoroughly check the acres of land, so that we can also have a bottom of the situation under our rule!" Second, we should be taxed according to household registration! For the people under our rule, the collection of taxes should be less and as simple as possible! For those merchants who come from outside, it is enough to collect taxes according to normal measures! In this way, those businessmen saw that the taxes of the people of the Huashan army were lower and easier, so they naturally wanted to move to the rule of the Huashan army! Thus, it can also achieve the purpose of attracting the population, especially a part of the wealthy! ”

What Wang Meng said is actually a policy that has different internal and external policies, and of course his own people should be better to them. And for outsiders, just do it at a normal level!

Nowadays, under the rule of the Huashan Army, business travel is increasing year by year, because it is relatively stable and has a good environment for doing business. Moreover, there are many business opportunities, so it attracts a lot of businessmen.

Merchants seek profits, if they find that being a common man of the Huashan Army can reduce their costs, they are afraid that they will all drill under the rule of the Huashan Army. Moreover, at this time, although the world was divided into several parts, it did not become a foreign country, and there was no such thing as passport nationality.

Therefore, whether the businessmen immigrated to Bingzhou or Yuzhou, they were actually just moving within the country, and there was no such burden as whether they were patriotic or not. Speaking of which, this is not the same as those rich immigrants in later generations!

This is a question of the gold content of household registration, judging from the situation today, the territory of the Huashan Army is not the largest, but the politics are definitely the clearest and most efficient. Even if the foreign merchants were taxed more than the local merchants, it was still much less than that of the rest of the world.

For this point, those businessmen who go south and north, they are afraid that they are all numbered.

In this way, compared with each other, they will find that moving to various places under the rule of the Huashan Army and becoming the people of the Huashan Army is actually a very worthwhile thing. Of course, if you don't want to do this, you can still do business in various parts of the Huashan Army, as long as you obey the law.

However, you'll have to pay more taxes than the local merchants! This number is uncertain, it may be 10%, it may be 20%, in short, it depends on the situation of your business.

Combining Li Xin's new land policy with Wang Meng's proposal would be a good way to increase both the number and quality of the population under the rule of the Huashan Army.

Over time, after gradually becoming a trend, the people under the Huashan Army will naturally give birth to a kind of glory, a feeling of glory as the people of the Huashan Army.

It's like when it was the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang people felt proud of being Tang people. That kind of arrogance comes from the bones, even if it is just a flat-headed common people, when they see the foreign Yi from afar, there is a sense of pride in their bones.

When the time comes, everyone wants to become the people of the Huashan Army, and everyone in the world is looking towards the Huashan Army. In this way, it is the so-called people's desire and everyone's expectation! If this point is really reached, it can be said that Li Xin occupies the commanding heights in morality.

Of course, the process can be lengthy, and the results may not necessarily be that way. But at least, it's definitely very good to follow this path.

"What Wang Shangshu said is quite reasonable! But the stakes are too great, so I'll leave this matter to you to discuss together! After deciding on the specific measures, I will report to me in detail! Li Xin thought about it for a while, and finally said.

"Yes! The lower officials obey the order! The crowd hurriedly answered.

"In addition, in the past, when we collected taxes, we calculated them according to the fields. In this way, if a person has little land but a lot of assets, he can only receive a part of the tax! Therefore, the lower officials suggested that taxes should be collected according to the total assets of each family! Except for the part of the assets that are not taxable by law, the rest will be converted into market value, and then taxed proportionately! In this way, the tax of each family is different, which is more fair and rigorous! Wang Meng continued.

In fact, according to the practice of taxing family property, it was already implemented in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it was called calculation at that time! In other words, all the assets owned by each family are converted into a specific amount, and then a percentage of them is taxed.

This practice made the financial deficit caused by the successive wars and large-scale construction of the Han Dynasty during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty suddenly enriched. Moreover, it cracked down on the super-rich merchants, inhibited land annexation, and so on.

In terms of practice, there are great benefits. However, this approach will cause problems that inhibit business development to a certain extent, especially for those large businessmen, which is very disadvantageous.

Therefore, when it was executed at that time, many big businessmen worth hundreds of millions were very opposed to this matter. For this reason, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made another accusation. In other words, if someone reports to the court that a person has not truthfully reported his personal assets to the court, the person who reported it will receive half of the defendant's property.

Li Xin has read the historical records, so he naturally knows this. It is not surprising that Wang Meng has such an idea, after all, the idea of valuing agriculture and suppressing business is not strange to the literati of this era.
