Jia Xu began to make initial adjustments to his new life.

After the simple interrogation and education of all the prisoners of war, those who are willing to leave will be given dry rations to leave here, and those who are willing to stay can become recruits, but they will receive some training for recruits.

And then there is, everybody has to take a shower, right. Bathe. All clothes should be changed into clean and tidy clothes.

This surprised Jia Xu, and he didn't know why he wanted to take a bath. After coming out, he learned that all this was to prevent epidemics, and at the same time, it was also an important way to control non-combat attrition on a large scale.

In addition to the outing, Jia Xu also saw the cleaning work of the battlefield, and the corpses were centrally disposed of. There is also a large amount of quicklime splashed, and the same is true for the ground, which will definitely not be finished with such a simple sweep, and the strictness of epidemic prevention far exceeds that of Jia Xu.

Jia Xu agrees with this approach, and in ancient armies, non-combat attrition far exceeded the mortality rate of an army in normal combat. It can be said that the first major opponent is not the so-called enemy, but the epidemic.

Going to the toilet is also the first big anecdote. Because in the ancient army, open defecation was a common thing, everything was for convenience, but it was absolutely not allowed here. Where the army is stationed, the location of the toilet must be planned as soon as possible. It seems that this can no longer be persuaded by the simple prevention of epidemics.

There are also strange things, for example, there is a hospital here, there is a concentration of treatment for patients, many wounded soldiers are there, they are new arrivals, and they have to undergo physical examinations, for example, headaches, fever, these symptoms to prevent the spread of epidemics from outside ships, once found, they will be isolated and treated, it is very clean, very tidy, and very relaxed.

What interests Jia Xu the most is the tax policy, he has the ability to read and the world, the rotten rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty government has almost made him completely lose confidence, this time he followed Niu Fu, in fact, he just wanted to come out and see if the world really had such an opportunity. I didn't expect it, though. An accident made him a teacher. His treatment is still very relaxed, but there are too many students. But it doesn't matter.

Because he can go around and learn a lot of things, such as tax policy.

The taxes here are extremely light, so light that Jia Xu himself suspects that this is not true, there may be a problem in the whole region, because this will not support the survival of a large army, even if it is a stable need, but it cannot reduce such a low tax, which makes Jia Xu feel worried, he feels that these red turban troops are nothing more than that.

Jia Xu was most interested in the bank, and although he did not know how the industrial and commercial banks worked, what he did know was that the Agricultural Bank was indeed a novelty. And this greatly solves the land problem.

In all localities, there is a serious phenomenon of the powerful and seriously annexing land, and this kind of thing is inevitable, and even, if you want to restore production, the only way is to re-equalize the land rights, but if you do so, it will inevitably damage the interests of the big landlords, but if you don't, how can the peasants who have lost their land solve the problem of eating. That's a big problem in itself. Jia Xu tried to solve this problem, but there was no solution. Because he's not good at it himself, but. Here, he found the answer. A program that can change the situation of the whole world, the Agricultural Bank of China.

Land annexation is not organized, but rather encouraged, which is a pioneering feat in itself. Farmers who have lost their land can get their land by providing loans. As collateral, they need to sign a contract with the bank, or the government will come forward to provide a guarantee. They only need to pay two stone of grain per mu of land every year, and after ten years, maybe longer, they have their own assets. The landlords, on the other hand, can get more land through the Agricultural Bank, but they need to pay some interest, and this interest invention guarantees the income of those who pay the land, so that the land annexation is completed. This greatly solves the problem of land production, and the surplus peasants can smoothly enter other fields, men can enter the engineering team, construction, they can build houses, dig water conservancy facilities, enter factories, join the army, or enter the land, and become an employment relationship, instead of the previous land lease relationship.

There is another important function of the bank. It was a great impact on the usury brought about by the leased land, which made the means of the powerful landlords much less. This is probably the best way to solve all the problems. Jia Xu believes that once this move is popularized, it will inevitably produce great changes. And the prosperity of industry and commerce. Seems like a good way out.

However, there are still a lot of problems. How can this nascent government solve the problem of tax revenue for the army, without which the government cannot function and will soon find itself in great trouble. This was Jia Xu's biggest concern, but the question was soon answered.

"This is a bond issued by our new government. The denomination is represented by grain, and the new government, borrowing grain from you. Shang Wu said with the freshly printed, cut bond in his hand. It looks a little rough, but the paper art and printing process are extremely rare.

"As we said before, the new government's low tax policy will not add any burden to the people of the new government for the time being. However, the new government needs to keep the army running. Fiscal revenue is needed. Shang Wu stood in the small square of Lijiazhuang to promote the bonds. And Jia Xu listened slowly on the side.

"Oh. It's Wen He. Hu Zhao came over at this time, he knew that Jia Wenhe was a new teacher, but he felt that Jia Wenhe was not here.

"Oh. Mr. Hu. Jia Wenhe said. That's a greeting. Then the two men continued to listen to the policy propaganda of the martial arts.

"The army needs food, weapons need taxes to make them, and soldiers need to be paid." Shang Wu said.

"However, the new government has already established a low tax policy, and it will not change. This policy will not change much in at least 10 years. Perhaps we will also abolish agricultural taxes if we need to in the future. Shang Wu said. This remark shocked everyone at once. The agricultural tax was abolished. So how does the new government work. The same is true for Jia Wenhe. He was shocked by Shang Wu's remarks.

"That's for later. In the future, the government will still rely on commercial taxes, which is a trend and will not change. Shang Wu said.

"But how to solve the current dilemma, is this, bonds. I know that low taxes have just made your life better, and many people who couldn't drink porridge before can now eat two dry meals. Shang Wu said.

"But if the new government is not there, these are difficult to guarantee, if the Red Turban Army is not there, these are all empty talk, the denomination is not very large, there is one stone, two stones, and five stones, and ten stones of grain. You can all subscribe to these, and the government encourages you to buy bonds. Of course, these are all voluntary. Shang Wu said.

"Since it is a bond, the government is borrowing your grain, and this bond is equivalent to a debt contract, and since it is a contract, the spirit of our new government is the spirit of the contract, and it needs to be fulfilled. The interest is, for each stone of grain, the annual interest is one bucket and two liters. But, however, there are no less. After all, the government still has a lot to do. Shang Wu said.

"Support the Red Turban Army, I bought this bond first." An old man was the first to stand up and speak. He picked a big one. It's going to be bought.

"Uncle, we can understand your feelings, but you must do it according to your ability, I suggest that you buy a five-stone grain piece. There is no need. Shang Wu persuaded. But others don't see it that way.

"Sir. Your Red Turban Army is for the villagers, and the villagers know that you fought the thief army and ran away the official army, not for us, we all understand this. We are all people who know how to repay our kindness. Don't say that again. Li Laohan said. Then he resolutely bought a bond of ten stone grain. Seeing that Li Laohan was like this, others also bought one after another, and most of them bought ten stone grains. And it's only more, no less. Many people are enthusiastic about buying. Among the people, the effect of promotion is far better than Shang Wu thought.

"That's what the people want." Jia Xu saw such a scene and said. At the same time, he also found the answer he needed, that is, the purpose of the low tax policy is to make the people rich, and after the people are rich, the country will make the country strong by borrowing. Buying bonds to get the country through the crisis is a much more advantageous and decisive tool than taxation. This method is unprecedented, which has greatly changed Jia Xu's understanding.

The Eastern Han government's solution to the financial crisis could only be to raise taxes, although not much, but when it really came to the bottom, taxes were already very terrible. Coupled with the so-called conscription and military service, this makes it even more difficult for the people to live. The burden of taxation is not the most terrible, but the terrible thing is the forced labor.

The Red Turban Army's method is to socialize the division of labor and split into a special engineering team, so that it will be more professional and technical. Conscription was abolished as a result. This is a big innovation. This initiative is very conducive to the new government's efforts to gather people and solve many economic problems. This fundamentally shows that the firepower of the new government has surpassed that of the Eastern Han government, and in time, it will inevitably surpass and solve all problems.

This kind of vitality is something Jia Xu has never seen before. This made Jia Xu even more firm in his belief and stayed here.

Just when Jia Xu was firm in his belief, Shangwu was having a headache, and it was a good thing for people to buy bonds, but this could not solve the bigger problem at all. Because it is not them who are the main force of purchase.
