In the land rent collection order, the most important approach is still the idea of equalizing the tax burden!

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the annexation of land by this powerful clan has intensified, and the reason for this is because the burden of taxation is uneven! It's like saying that this counts as money, why is there more and more this time? During the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was still counted as seven or eight a year, and it was until the end of the Han Dynasty and the period of the Second Emperor Ling, but it was only a few decades, and it rose from seven or eight to more than ten a year!

Naturally, those powerful families hid their household registration fields to avoid taxes, and those officials did not dare to collect taxes from those officials, but the taxes of the imperial court could not be less, so they could only distribute the taxes to the people who had land, so this counted more and more money, and it also led to more and more people selling their fields and becoming slaves.

Faced with such a situation, Lu Bu naturally would not sit idly by! In the land rent order, it is clearly pointed out that there is no shortage but unevenness! Why do the poor and weak people want to pay such heavy taxes, but the rich and powerful have so much money and do not need to pay taxes? And why should the taxes of those rich and powerful families be distributed among those poor and weak people? How unreasonable is this!

Therefore, Lu Bu will not continue to connive at those powerful clans who are still doing evil in the local area, avoiding taxes and evading taxes! How much tax should be collected, how much tax Lu Bu will collect! Before this, Lu Bu carried out many things such as compiling household registration, Dutian, etc., wasn't it just to prepare for today?

As for the consequences of doing so, whether it will lead to the hatred of those powerful clans, that is almost inevitable!

This inexplicably has to pay a lot more taxes every year, and if you are one of those powerful families, will you be happy?

There is good and bad in everything.

If Lu Bu wants to make those poor and weak people happy, he will definitely make those powerful people unhappy. But between the two, Lu Bu will definitely choose those poor people. Not for the sake of those people, but also for oneself! If you want to gain a foothold in troubled times, you must have soldiers and horses, and if you want to have soldiers and horses, you must have money, and if you want to be rich, if you don't collect taxes from those powerful families, what do you use to feed those soldiers and horses?

The implementation of the land rent collection order will be an important means for Lu Bu to suppress the powerful clan. And not long after the land rent order was issued, Lu Bu received another good message.

New paper, about to be completed!

Paper has always been an indispensable thing in the development of human civilization. The Chinese paper appeared as far as the Western Han Dynasty, and Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty improved the papermaking technique, using bark, hemp and cloth, fishing nets and other raw materials, through frustration, pounding, frying, drying and other processes to make paper, but also the origin of paper in later generations.

It's just that after Cai Lun improved papermaking, the popularity of paper is still not high. During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Zuo Bo, a calligrapher and papermaker, improved it on the basis of Cai Lun and made the famous "Zuo Bo Paper." "It's the best paper available today.

Zuobo paper is bright and neat, suitable for writing, and is very popular with literati. And Zuo Bo paper and Zhang Yibi, Wei Duanmo called it the "three famous products" of the study! Cai Yong, a historian who is proficient in calligraphy, is very fond of it, and every time he writes a book, he does not write on paper. However, even if Zuo Bo paper appears, it still cannot be popularized in the world. There are many reasons for this, the most important is the concept of the times, which makes paper unable to replace bamboo slips and silk silk for a while, and there is the reason for this price. The price of this Zuobo paper is not much cheaper than silk. The children of this poor family can't afford it, and those who can afford it prefer to write on silk silk.

However, Lu Bu understands that this expensive silk will eventually be replaced by paper. The new paper he developed is a step further in the process, and it will definitely replace Zuo Bo paper and become popular in the world.

With impatience, Lu Bu rushed to the paper mill.

Since Cai Lun improved papermaking, a more stereotyped papermaking process has been formed. The process is nothing more than four aspects, first soaking or steaming the raw materials of papermaking, and then cutting and pounding them into pulp, which is pulping.

Subsequently, the pulp is soaked into a slurry and the pulp is scooped with a mat to make the pulp interwoven into a thin sheet of wet paper on the mat. The final step is to dry or dry the wet paper in the sun, and then remove it to become the paper on which people write.

The new paper is about to be completed, and many people are also going to watch this moment that will go down in history. For this reason, Lu Bu did not stop it, these people just looked at the last step of this paper forming, and it was impossible to know what the process of this papermaking technique was. Most of these crafts are in the hands of those big families, and they can't easily leak them, this is their guy who makes money and eats.

The market is a monopoly! This has been the case since ancient times! The secret art of making paper is hidden in the hands of those people, and it is impossible to take them out. It is precisely for this reason that when Lu Bu proposed papermaking, many people were surprised! They don't know where Lu Bu learned about the papermaking process, but now this new paper is about to be completed, which means that Lu Bu is not bragging, he really made new paper! Under the fame, it will attract many people to see what the new paper made by Lu Bu is like.

When Lu Bu arrived at the paper mill, there was also a lot of traffic outside the paper mill, and many armor soldiers were maintaining order.

After knowing that Lu Bu was coming, Jia Xu immediately came to greet him, and then acted as a guide and brought Lu Bu to the courtyard of the paper workshop.

That's right, the vast courtyard of the workshop at this time was full of dense bamboo mats! And on the bamboo strip mat, it is the white paper that is as smooth as snow! At this glance, the whole world is pure white.

More than a dozen craftsmen were carefully removing the papers from the mats, lest they destroy the treasures. In addition to those craftsmen, there are also a lot of "miscellaneous people" in this courtyard, for example, after receiving the message, Cai Yong Cai Zhonglang, who has not yet been cleaned up with this makeup, wears a scarf on his head at this time, and then walks in the middle of these papers, touches them on the left, and looks at them on the right, this face is surprised and happy, and when he looks at these papers, he is very excited, as if in his eyes, the papers he sees are not papers, but his wife and children.

In addition to Cai Yong, there are also Su Shuang and Zhang Yi who have settled down in Jinyang, celebrities such as Yang Jun, etc., as well as Xun You, Guo Jia, Xu Shu These staff, and the little Fufeng genius boy Ma Jun are all here to observe.

Of course, it is impossible for Ma Jun to appear in this courtyard, but Lu Bu has high hopes for this genius boy, and makes an exception for him to observe here!

In fact, how many people have attracted to the appearance of this new paper? Not to mention that this is standing in this courtyard, but the corridors on all four sides are full of people! Most of the people with status and status in Jinyang came to take a look, but most of them couldn't stand in this courtyard to take a closer look, and most of them were amazed to see those craftsmen slowly peeling off the white paper as white as snow on this corridor.
