Talking to the villagers about midnight and mastering the basic level of agriculture in this era, Lu Peng also benefited a lot, entertained them to eat, and then sent them out respectfully, and Lu Peng called his subordinates to meet again overnight.

"Now I have decided that for the sake of future development, but also to promote the cultivation of yam and break the big pot of rice, I will change the original policy implemented by Wu Tao."

This is the result of Lu Peng's careful consideration.

"Now, I have decided to change the land policy that we used to have." There is no need to ask Wu Tao's opinion, and I don't want to ask for his opinion, this is not to say that Lu Peng ignored Wu Tao's original achievements, this is mainly out of his own idea of establishing his own authority.

In this group, you have to say your word on big things. This base area is its own, and how to develop it must be decided by oneself, and in this way, a kind of rule is formed in front of my subordinates, and this piece of heaven and earth is under my control.

That's the point. Whoever you are. Fundamentally all peasants. Land is where everyone's fundamental interests lie. The Savage Valley is a vast area. There is a lot of land that can be cultivated. Quite a few people have begun to salivate over the uncultivated fertile fields. Be a landlord. This has been the dream of all people in China for thousands of years. Even in Lu Peng's time. The land complex is also lingering.

"The land thing is the heaviest thing. Dynasties at all levels initially distributed the land directly to the peasants. But there seems to be a drawback here. That was a massive land annexation to the later dynasties. The first is the farmers themselves. Sell land for a variety of reasons in an emergency. The second is that those big officials use their power or money. Or high-priced inducements or rhetoric to take advantage of it. It's like the big man now. Eventually, a large number of peasants lost the land on which they depended for their livelihood and became displaced people. Just like you do now. I had no choice but to rise up. I don't want that to happen, but I don't have the power to change it. So I wanted to experiment with it with us first. Let's see if I can do it."

Everyone's hearts were shocked. This is Lu Peng is going to use this as an experimental field. If it can be successful, it will be promoted elsewhere. So what's the way to promote it elsewhere? It goes without saying. So everybody started to cheer up.

"What is the Lord's way? Speak up. I can't wait." Xu Jie urged.

"It's actually quite simple. It is to make our group the largest landlord. That is, the land is publicly owned. Then we contracted the land we had in our hands to the villagers on a per capita basis. The villagers do not own the land. But it is possible to lease our land indefinitely. We stipulate a reasonable percentage of ground rent. They can only pay us ground rent. There are also no other burdens attached to the land. and not to be exploited by the landlords and rich on the land. They were like that when they were alive. But when they die, they must return their land. Then we will give the land to the newborn. So that no matter how hard they may be. There will be a mouthful of food and a handful of firewood."

Everyone was silent for a while. Slowly digesting Lu Peng's method. It was a long time before Wu Tao asked first; "My lord, this law is really a good law that has never been seen before or since. Great goodness. This is the cultivator in disguise who has his field. And there are no drawbacks in the future. Great goodness." Wu Tao applauded happily and shouted.

Others applauded.

Since his own method was approved, Lu Peng asked Wu Tao: "Manager Wu, how much land does a man need to survive and live a stable life?" ”

Wu Tao replied without hesitation: "An adult needs three stones of grain to live every year. There is also the oil and salt of dressing. General medical treatment or something. Three stones are also needed for expenses. In a normal year, one acre of land can beat wheat for one and a half to two stones. So one needs four acres of land. If there are five men and women in a family. It will take twenty acres of land. There can be a little left over in the next year. But how much rent do we have to collect?"

This is the key, land leased to individuals, must be taxed, otherwise the whole organization will not be able to operate with funds, and it is also the main source of wealth for this large agricultural country.

Therefore, Wu Tao is very concerned about the amount of land rent collected. Collect more. I'm afraid that the folks can't afford it. Collect less. I am afraid that I will not be able to feed the upper organization and the army.

The land endowment is the amount of land rent. That's a big question.

"How about halving the regular tax according to the imperial court's example." Lv Peng proposed a standard for levy. This criterion is developed in cottages. On the premise of going around with money. Gritted his teeth and said it.

Xu Jie did object: "The lord can't, such a low land rent, if we don't add other additional conscription, etc., we can hardly use it to run our government, let alone raise soldiers." ”

Wu Tao also stood up and said: "If, as the lord promised, there are no more conditions attached to it except for the land rent, not only can we not reduce it according to the rules of the imperial court, but we need to double it, so that we can develop in two phases." ”

"And the people are willing to accept it?"

Wu Tao and Xu Jie nodded together: "Double, or even half of the production, as long as you can fulfill your promise, the people will definitely be grateful to you." ”

This shows Lu Peng's historical idiocy.

So Xu Jie, Xu Jie, who was familiar with the operation policy of the imperial court, began to make up for Lu Peng's knowledge of the Han tax rate.

In fact, Dahan's agricultural tax is very low. How much is the tax on agriculture? The Qin and Han dynasties competed, the world was poor and weak, Emperor Wen began to implement recuperation, and positioned the tax as one of ten taxes, and when Emperor Jing, it was positioned as one of thirty taxes, that is, the average agricultural tax rate was one-thirtieth. Such a tax rate cannot but be said to be low to the limit. That is to say, according to the calculation of 300 catties per mu of anointed land, only 10 catties of land tax is paid per mu, so that for the people, the less is simply negligible. Of course, this is when the world is peaceful, and the country can still be operated, when is it now? Now it is necessary to support the army to fight, and if such a low tax is not able to support the operation of the entire machine at all.

Seeing that his lord really doesn't understand. Wu Tao stood up and said. In fact, now the people of the world are suffering, donate" and then began to break his fingers to Lu Peng to list the donations, Wu Tao, born from the grassroots, is familiar with this.

"Daming Inspector" is a good official fighting article, please correct the brothers, hehe
