Now, according to this official, the land of Shandong is divided into military tuns, one part of official villages, then two points of private land of the noble clan, and six points of land for the common people.

The nature of the land share has completely changed, coupled with the unified purchase of grain in this and the order, Shandong's grain is basically in the hands of the government, and the people have also been transformed into productive yeoman farmers in large numbers through the equalization of land, paying two taxes for Daqin and selling grain, but also getting food and clothing.

A large number of people have property, food and clothing, and this Shandong will naturally be stable.

Although those old warriors are dissatisfied, the place is stable and the people are at ease, although they are dissatisfied, they can't attack.

Although they are fire, if the firewood of the people is covered with the emperor's rain and dew, how can it burn?

When he was in Donglai Harbor, Li Mi saw many salt ships.

"In the past, there was no industrial and commercial tax, salt mines and other private individuals, the price of salt was not high, now this salt has a salt tax, tea has a tea tax, a pound of salt can be worth a bucket of rice, this is not equivalent to a disguised levy on the people to a head tax? Will the people not murmur? ”

Li Mi sensitively saw the essence of this salt tax.

Daqin implemented a salt tax, which was based on a ticket system. Salt is allowed to be boiled and dried by merchants, and sold and traded, but the production and sale are separated, and the prepared salt needs to be registered with the imperial court, and all the salt must be sold to the government's special salt yamen, and it is not allowed to be sold privately.

If a merchant wants to sell salt, he must buy it from the salt yamen of the government, and when he buys it, he must first pay taxes and then take taxes.

Otherwise, it is the crime of trafficking in illegal salt, and the crime is extremely serious, and if you sell a bucket of illegal salt, you will be exiled to the frontier tuntian, and if you sell a stone of illegal salt, that is the end of being sold as a slave.

Although the salt tax is not high, it is a tax of 10% and 11 according to the price of salt.

But the merchants will eventually pass on this tax to the price of salt, so in the end the people bear the burden of this additional salt tax, salt is not like tea and wine, it is a dispensable consumer goods, salt is a necessity.

In this way, the salt tax is effectively equivalent to the poll tax.

At the time of the opening of the emperor, the price of salt was very low, and a better salt was only ten yuan per bucket, and at that time, the price of rice in Beijing was fifteen yuan per bucket. The price of salt is not as high as rice, and in recent years, the world has been turbulent, the production and transportation of salt have been affected, and the price of salt itself has indeed risen, but now in a stable and prosperous place like Donglai, the price of salt is a pound of salt.

How much does rice cost in Donglai Harbor? One bucket of rice and twenty wen.

This price is very amazing, after all, the price of rice in Luoyang City is sold to 80,000 yuan a stone, although this is a special case during the siege, but in other places, the price of rice is also constantly starting from a hundred wen a bucket.

The stability of grain prices in Donglai still lies in Luo Cheng's grain policy, the local stability and grain output have been guaranteed, and then the policy of unified purchase and purchase of grain, coupled with the policy of banning private purchase and outflow of grain, so that no matter how the price of grain outside falls, Anton has always been stable.

Bucket rice catty salt, twenty wen a catty of salt.

Compared with the salt in the Kaihuang period, the price is more than ten times different, but if it is compared with other counties, it seems to be cheaper. However, the price comparison of salt and rice in other counties is not so exaggerated.

"There are always pros and cons to any policy, but in general, the salt tax still has more advantages than disadvantages."

The Great Qin Salt Administration, the implementation of the private procurement official collection of merchants, merchants and sales system, now in Liaodong and Shandong, Huainan, Fanyang and other places set up ten salt supervisors, a year of salt tax, as high as more than 1 million yuan.

This is a huge amount of money, after all, this money is equivalent to the income of at least dozens of counties during the Great Cause Dynasty. After all, the tax system of the Sui Dynasty was too simple, there was no industrial and commercial tax, only rent collection, rent collection only based on land output, and rent in kind.

"More than a million?"

Li Mi's eyes widened.

The emperor is known as the prosperous era, but when the emperor opened, the local officials didn't even have money and Lu, what did their income depend on? They relied on the imperial court to collect rent from the jobs they had divided in the local area, and relied on the public party money to lend money and collect interest.

And Luo Cheng only relied on a salt tax, which actually cost more than one million yuan a year, and what is even more amazing is that Luo Cheng only occupies a few places now.

If he unifies the world, according to this law, will the salt tax not be as much as four or five million a year?

What about the tea and liquor tax?

No wonder Luo Cheng is a fierce soldier, well-armed, and so capable of fighting under his command, it turns out that this guy is still so good at making money.

I heard that the Qin army fought extremely fiercely, all because of the rich rewards, the Qin army had good military discipline, and never plundered the people, it seems that it was because Luo Cheng had money in his hands, otherwise there was no money to reward, how could the soldiers be willing to fight, how not to plunder?

Luo Cheng laid down a land, and quickly restored stability, and the land was produced, and the taxes were sufficient, enough to supply the army.

And Li Mi fought in Henan for three years, Xingyang, Luoyang and other places, and even turned into ruins and ghost domains, and a large area of fertile land became wasteland, it seems that there is indeed a reason for his failure.

However, he was still not convinced in his heart, thinking that Luo Cheng was a martial artist, and An had such a policy of securing the country and the country? It must be the credit of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and the younger brothers of those scholars and eunuchs still have the ability, and they envy Luo Cheng for having such good luck and being able to recruit so many talents for his own use.

It's a pity that he was forced to rely on a group of bandits to start his family, and he was dyed with the name of a bandit, and it was always rare for the brothers of those scholars and eunuchs to defect, and there was no one available under his command, so he was defeated today.

I, Li Mifei, are not as good as Luo Cheng, but Luo Cheng is too lucky to get so many people to help, while I, Li Mi, are too unlucky, so I can only use a group of bandits to start an incident, but in the end I was defeated by those bandits.

Damn bandits!

Boarding a huge building ship at Donglai Harbor and heading to Lushun.

On the blue waves under the blue sky, there are many ships traveling together, forming a fleet.

Li Mi stood on the deck and saw that many of the ships in his fellow ships were carrying immigrants from the Central Plains, these people were said to be victims of the war and had no choice but to flee their hometowns, and some of them accepted the persuasion of the officials of the Great Qin and decided to give up everything in the Central Plains and go to the Guanwai Juntian to grant land, where they could get higher land and more land, and they would be further away from the war and right and wrong in the Central Plains.

While passing through an island, Li Mi saw a fleet of ships coming from Liaodong.

"It was a slave ship, and this fleet carried about 5,000 Goguryeo slaves."

Every day, slave ships come from Liaodong, the rebellion of the Goguryeo people in Xuansu County has not been completely quelled, Lelang and the Goguryeo people of Obifang County have made trouble again, and the emperor has issued an order to destroy Goguryeo, to capture all Goguryeo people as slaves and transport them to the Central Plains for sale, so that there is no free Goguryeo people who can resist Daqin in the land outside the Guan.
