Farm Tax! Li Yi took the harvest weight of crops as the standard, and divided the tax money into several grades, if the harvest did not reach the lowest level, there was no need to pay taxes, and if it was reached, the tax was paid according to the weight reached, and the money could be offset with goods. With the promulgation of the agricultural tax, Li Yi also promulgated various laws and regulations, allowing poor peasant households who meet the conditions to borrow farm tools and ploughing cattle from the government for free.

Business Tax! Wandering vendors are taxed at the price of a day's sale, while resident vendors are allowed to pay once a month. As with the agricultural tax, Li Yi gave a criterion for dividing it according to the total amount of money earned. With the promulgation of the commercial tax, Li Yi set aside market areas in various counties and townships, and required those wandering traders to only do business here in order to better supervise them.

As for the final human tax, Li Yi directly canceled the free coolies for one month a year, but required all the people of the same age to conduct a total of two months of military training every year during the agricultural slack. In addition, in order to encourage childbirth, Li Yi also promulgated a series of reward and punishment rules.

As for other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, they were all canceled by Li Yi. At the same time, Li Yi revised some laws and regulations, such as the abolition of tariffs, but if he wanted to enter and leave the city, he was more strict. Especially if you bring goods into and out of the city, you need to register and check.

At the same time, once someone is found to have evaded taxes, no matter how much, the family will be raided, and the owner of the family will be reduced to slavery. Those who fail to report the same punishment will be punished, and there will be a reward for reporting.

Of course, these are just generalizations, and there are many detailed rules researched by Li Yi, Sima Hui and others that will not be listed one by one.

And when the new tax law was officially promulgated, it caused an uproar throughout the state in an instant. However, as Sima Hui and others thought, Li Yi was completely lifted to the sky by the people. Because the reform of this tax law is too beneficial to the common people, it can even be said that it completely liberated the people, and threw the taxes that were originally pressed on the heads of the people to the heads of those families, landlords, and merchants.

Yes, this is the most widely known iron rule of tax law in later generations, social balance! The more you earn, the more you pay, which is a well-known thing in later generations, but in this era, it is an earth-shattering event. After all, in this era, in addition to the lowest-ranking merchants, the big tax payers are the poorest ordinary people. And those landlords and families, because of various reasons, they don't need to pay much tax.

As time passed, the landlords of the counties petitioned the local governors for orders, hoping that Li Yi would change the tax reform back to its original appearance. Even, quite a few people rushed to Wushuang City in person.

However, the Wang family and the Guo family, the only two remaining families in Bingzhou, directly held high the banner and stood on Li Yi's side. If Wang Ling was an official under Li Yi, and Wang Yun, the head of the Wang family, was trapped in Chang'an and had to support it, then Guo Yi, the head of the Guo family, unswervingly supported the new tax law, and everyone had to look sideways.

After all, Guo Yi is not only one of the largest families in Bingzhou, but he is also the county guard of Yanmen County today. Whether it is strength or influence, he can be regarded as the second person under Li Yi.

It's just that although all the landlords are very puzzled by Guo Yi's behavior, even if Guo Yi doesn't come out, they have to act on their own. Because the tax law changed by Li Yi is simply planning to kill them!

"Hehe, there are thirty-six local heads of counties and townships, it's really a concerted effort~" Li Yi said with a chuckle, his tone full of mockery.

"If they don't come, when the tax law is officially implemented, they will have to cut the meat~" Xia Houlan shook her head and smiled.

"Cutting meat? At most, it's just plucking some hair," Li Yi sneered when he heard this.

He Li Yi was the landlord of Wuyuan County before he became an official, and he also served as the head of the family and was busy with various things for a lot of time, which made him very aware of how rich a landlord was. And the Li family is just the landlords of Jiuyuan County, and they can't compare with the landlords of Taiyuan, Shangdang, Yanmen and other counties.

"Then, let's go and meet these family masters, after all, it's not easy to go all the way~" Li Yi said with a chuckle.

A moment later.

"The grass people meet the prince!" In the hall, thirty-six heads of families from all over the world bowed down in front of Li Yi and made a big salute.

"Sit down and talk~" Li Yi glanced at everyone and said lightly.

It's just that after sitting down, the thirty-six people just lowered their heads and didn't speak, and seeing this situation, a hint of mockery flashed in Li Yi's eyes, "Everyone, you don't just want to see Ben Hou when you come from afar, right?" ”

Hearing this, one of them hurriedly said, "The princes, grass people, etc., are here, but they are here for the new tax law!" As soon as this remark came out, others echoed it.

"The prince loves the people like a son, and the grass people naturally dare not stop it, but the new tax law is not too ...... for the grass people?"

"Junhou, although there are more than 100 acres of land in the grass people's homes, they have spent a lot of money to buy them, and this has not yet returned to their original ......"

"Junhou, the grass people think, is the business tax too much...... And why do other people collect so little......"

The crowd kept talking, and although there was trepidation in their tones, they still said everything that should be said. And these words can be summed up in one meaning, the new tax law is too cruel to them, and I hope Li Yi can take back his life.

"Everyone......" Li Yi glanced around at everyone, "I don't think you don't know about the old tax law, although it seems fair, but a family that can only earn 1,000 yuan a year, and a family that can earn tens of thousands of yuan a year, also pay hundreds of dollars in taxes, do you think it's fair?" ”

"Prince, although it sounds very unfair, the grass people and others have also earned this hard-earned money...... "Everyone pleaded again when they heard this.

"Well, the new tax law has been set, and it is impossible to change it." Li Yi looked at everyone and said lightly, with a hint of unquestionable tone. If he had just come to this era, he would still be in the mood to explain it to them, but now, ...... He didn't bother to talk nonsense with these people.

"Don't say anything about cutting meat and not being able to pay it, because the new tax law will only be collected after you earn it! Moreover, Benhou also abolished a series of harsh taxes such as tariffs. If you still have opinions in this case......" Li Yi glanced at these landlords, and suddenly chuckled, "Then why don't you make so much, you should know that the new tax law, regardless of your status, only depends on how much you earn......

The landlords left in disgrace, and as for whether they accepted it or not, Li Yi didn't care, because he knew that no one could resist him in Bingzhou now.

"But if they resist, it will be even better~" Li Yi muttered with a sneer, which suddenly made Guo Jia, Xu Shu and others on the side couldn't help but pout.
