Chapter 278: New Cognition

The land annexation of the Han Dynasty is serious, which is the fate of the last days of the dynasty, which cannot be changed by manpower, and it is almost an ending that cannot be cracked. At this time, there will be a great turmoil, and it is precisely this kind of war that the land that has lost its owner will be nationalized and then distributed among the people. Leaving the people without the right to buy and sell is just to prevent the re-annexation of land in the future. Although it is cruel to use this method to equalize land rights, it is also suitable for the current environment.

"But if you don't supervise the farming, you will break the fundamentals, and you will make a big mistake." Wang Zhe knocked on the table with some heartache and criticized the policy left by Lu Peng.

As a result, Pan Feng smiled slightly, his face full of disapproval. Seeing Wang Zhe, who was about to go berserk, he was busy and restrained his expression, and replied solemnly: "According to the arrangement of my lord, since the land has been handed over to the farmers, as long as he pays enough rent at the end of the year, we don't care whether he grows wheat or beans, even if the people raise rabbits in the wilderness, it may mean that the output of rabbits is more expensive than grain, as long as the farmers have income, they can either eat the grain they cultivate, or raise rabbits to make money to buy the food they need, we don't underestimate the wisdom of the people." ”

"You-" Wang Zhe pointed at Pan Feng's nose angrily, but he couldn't speak for a while.

Pan Feng spread his hands: "My lord said that when all the people abandon the land to make money, when they take the money they earn to buy grain, only to find that the price of grain has risen, and the profits they make from doing business are not as much as they make from cultivating the land, they will be driven by profits and return to cultivate the land, which is a kind of willing thing, and it is more active than we force them to cultivate the land." ”

Looking at the thoughtful Wang Zhexianzun, Pan Feng said lightly: "What my lord means is that the people will naturally live their own lives, and there is no need for our government to dictate at all, we have to participate in how the people live, in fact, it is often counterproductive, and we do wrong things with good intentions." ”

At this time, Wang Zhe pointed to Pan Feng's nose, but he really had nothing to say, thinking about it, isn't this the truth of the inaction of Lao Tzu that he respects?

I really didn't expect that the Lu Peng Group, which was a group of pickled military men in his eyes, had unknowingly practiced the truth of the sage.

"Then why do you tax the merchants?"

Pan Feng spread his hands again: "The state is difficult, especially the state does not allocate any military salaries and food to us, we don't want to increase the burden of the people, but also to implement the policy of resting with the people, we can only collect taxes from these merchants in order to raise soldiers, of course, we only collect four cents of taxes from merchants, no longer collect any harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and only collect once, within the control of our Lu family's army, no more additional, this small quarter of the tax, compared with other places, one step one card, one hundred steps and one donation, What else did the merchants complain about? No, not only did they not complain, but I saw that the merchants were rejoicing. ”

"Is it really only a one-time four-cent tax? Is it true that there will be no more imposing on others? ”

"Really."

Wang Zhe was shocked again, if it was really according to what Pan Feng said, within the control of the entire Lu Jiajun, all the merchants only paid the four cents of the tax, in fact, it was reduced countless times as usual when the tax was not collected, which should indeed make the merchants feel happy.

"It's not easy to collect taxes, so why should you take out the money to hire a group of old and weak people to sweep the streets, it's a waste." At this time, Wang Zhe's tone softened, and he unconsciously stood in Lu Peng's position and considered things.

As a result, Pan Feng once again refuted Wang Zhe's kindness: "The boss is wrong again." ”

"How could I be wrong again?" Wang Zhe felt that his head was short-circuited today, and he really couldn't keep up with Lu Peng's train of thought, so he lost his original arrogance of asking for guilt and began to seek advice cautiously.

Pan Feng explained with a smile: "Your Excellency, you also know that we have just quelled the war in Pinggu, and there are countless displaced people, according to our conscientious practices in the past, we need to take out a large amount of money and food to help them." ”

Wang Zhe nodded: "This is the duty of the government, this is a matter of course." ”

Pan Fang raised his head and said, "But my lord doesn't think so." ”

Wang Zhe's face was black at that time, and he let the exiles not go to help, could it be that he, Lu Peng, like other cool officials, let the people die and live? So, Wang Zhe gave Lu Peng an evaluation again, this is a ruthless person, how can this make me feel at ease to hand over Pinggu to him.

As a result, Pan Feng said a new truth, which made Wang Zhe dumbfounded: "My family has a concept, that is, under his rule, all people should do their part to build this land A responsibility and strength, there is no free lunch in this world, unconditional relief, that is to cultivate the laziness and dependence of the people." ”

Pan Feng looked fascinated: "I think that when countless homeless people poured in in Lu County, my father-in-law implemented the method of cash-for-work. Even the elderly, infirm, women and children try their best to find them jobs, let them rely on their own abilities as much as possible, earn wages to support themselves, and then let them use these wages to buy the necessities they need from merchants. And we collect four cents of the tax in their dealings, and by this means we transfer a part of the money we send back to us, and then send it out again. I remember that our steward, Wu Tao, once told me that because there were so many displaced people at that time, the work of building bridges and digging ditches was almost saturated, and at this time my lord had made a vicious decision to hire a group of idle people to go out of the city to dig pits in the wilderness. ”

"Dig a pit? What are you digging a pit for? "Wang Zhe is simply inexplicable.

Pan Feng replied with a smile: "Then my lord hired a group of people to go to the field to fill in these pits, the purpose is to pay them wages, not to let these idle people get money and food for disaster relief for nothing." Then he looked at the county gentleman very playfully: "I hired those old and weak to sweep the streets, in fact, that's what it means." ”

This is simply an unbelievable method, Wang Zhe just sat there in a daze, his brain really couldn't turn around, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and finally stood up, silently put his hands behind his back, and bowed his head and walked home.

Pan Feng looked at the lonely Wang Zhe's back in the distance, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart: "Lord, a capable minister will once again be attached to your command." ”
