"How can it be difficult?" Zhuangzi asked.

"I can discuss taxes with the king, and there is no problem at all. The premise of encouraging the people to have children and encouraging them to open up more wasteland for farming must be that the amount of taxes paid by various localities remains unchanged. How much tax was paid to the monarch last year, and this year, next year, and the year after, it will still be paid. I can guarantee that the people will not be taxed in many ways.

As for the question of increasing the population, the people can only feed themselves by multi-land.

What worries me? Once you implement the policy of exempting land from taxation, will your people specialize in cultivating new land instead of cultivating cooked land? You have to pay taxes for planting mature land, and you can do tax exemption for cultivating land? Isn't it? ”

On this issue, the two began to discuss.

Zhuangzi felt that such a situation did not exist. First, the yield of the new land opened up is very low. Only by cultivating the land properly will the yield increase. That's the main reason, so! As a result, not many people are willing to open up wasteland.

Second, without policy provisions, the people dare not open up wasteland for farming, and it is impossible to negotiate taxes. If the landowner is adamant, the new land will be taxed in the same way as the old land, or! If the taxes are too high, who wants to open up the wasteland?

Third, there is no such thing as people cultivating wasteland instead of cultivating it. The reason is simple, all the land is not the land owner, but the landowner. If the landowner doesn't let you open up the land casually, you will have nowhere to open it.

In the Great Zhou world at that time, the land was divided. First it was distributed to the various princes, and the princes were divided among their courtiers. The land in the world is all "famous flowers have masters". Tree such as the web address: Нёǐуапge.сОМ Guan Guan Mouth Heart Chapter

Fourth, a new tax policy will be implemented for newly reclaimed land. Instead of the previous tax policy. In the past, the tax policy was too heavy, and the people were reluctant to cultivate too much land.

The more land you cultivate, the more taxes you pay, so! No one wants to farm more. Most people only cultivate the land that sustains the family, and a little more do not cultivate. Peacetime! They will find other ways to make ends meet.

New taxes should be levied on newly reclaimed land. Such! The landowner would restrict his subordinates from cultivating the land indiscriminately. So! Nor is there a people who only cultivate new land and do not cultivate the ripe land.

With the introduction of the new policy, landowners will automatically lower their taxes and encourage their people to cultivate their land.

Fifth, after the implementation of the new policy in various localities, the landowners only had a large number of their own subordinates and cultivated more land, so they paid more taxes. So! Landowners do not want their people to live elsewhere, and they encourage their people to stay on their land.

This is to say that this policy was implemented throughout the Song Dynasty. In fact, Zhuangzi is only talking about how to actually try it out here in the lacquer garden.

Here in Qiyuan, the landowners belong to the Seven Evildoers and various other gangs. The Seven Wicked Men have the most and the best lands in their names. The other gangs only occupy a small amount of land, and the soil quality is not very good.

The lacquer garden here is different from other places, and no one knows whose fief it was before. Maybe? The family is long gone, and there is no hereditary heir. Anyway! Now it is occupied by the Seven Wicked and others.

Once he Zhuangzi came forward and negotiated with the landowners outside the valley about reclamation, those who did not have land in the lacquer garden could go out of the canyon and go outside to cultivate the land.

In fact! As long as the landowners in the lacquer garden reduce their taxes, there are still many people who are willing to cultivate the cooked land.

And also! There is also a lot of unclaimed land in the lacquer garden that can be developed. For example, there are shallow lakes and beaches, and some sandy land. Although these places have been occupied, but! It's wasteland. As long as someone comes forward to negotiate with the landowner, and is willing to pay taxes to the landowner with the new policy after the development is completed, the landowner will definitely agree. Such! You can sort it out and make it arable land.

If it is not developed, it is wasteland, and if it is developed, they can still get taxes, and the landowners will naturally agree.

Just as the two were talking, the mayor changed his outfit and came in. Zhuangzi's nose sniffed, and he didn't smell urine anymore. On the contrary, the scent of soaphorn on the mayor's clothes was also smelled.

Zhuangzi beckoned to the mayor and motioned for him to come and sit down and discuss important matters.

The mayor straightened up, boldly walked over, and sat down in his place.

Dai Daguan glanced at the mayor in disgust, and turned to look at Zhuangzi. Asked: "You said shoal development, how?" ”

"This?" Zhuangzi pretended to hesitate for a moment and said, "This! I've discussed it with the mayor, so let's let the mayor talk about it! ”

"Me?"

When the mayor heard this, he immediately got goosebumps all over his body.

He scolded in his heart: You Zhuangzi! You? Are you too uninteresting? You? Why don't you give me a little face? You? Why do you keep mentioning me?

"Let's talk about it!" Dai Daguan was a little impatient again.

"That's right! Regarding the development of the shallows, it is simple. It is to build a dam at the edge of the shoal, the higher the better, to separate the shoal from the beach. Starting from the upstream, we will build flood control dams to guide the water flowing down from the upstream into the lake......"

When the mayor heard this, he already understood what Zhuangzi meant. If you think about it, if you do that, you can reclaim a lot of fertile land. When the diversion canal is opened, it will not flood and destroy the crops. At the bottom, there are many ponds......

"Who wants to reclaim it?" Dai asked in disbelief.

"Yes! There are so many people who are willing to reclaim the wasteland! ”

Then! The mayor couldn't help but interject.

Dai Daguan looked at the mayor of the town in disbelief, he didn't know how the mayor suddenly had the courage to speak suddenly.

Zhuangzi was also very satisfied, the town elder finally spoke.

Nima Di! If you don't speak again? The credit is mine! Labor and management are pushing the credit on you! Understood?

"Why are you so scared?" Dai Daguanren asked.

"I called all the poor people around the lake, discussed with them, and everyone worked together. You build as long a levee as you can, and then I'll give you a piece of land. Who doesn't do it? When the time comes, there will be days when the head will be broken! The mayor said.

"Why did you break your head?"

"Not? No? It's all vying to develop, to build a dam! ”

Zhuangzi then took over the topic and said: "When the time comes, first hold a mobilization meeting, call everyone to discuss, and let everyone discuss a specific plan by themselves." And then! Then we will implement it concretely. When the time comes! All those who contribute will divide the reclaimed land according to the size of their merits. This one! I've already discussed it with the mayor! There should be no problem! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely no problem. Seeing Zhuangzi pushing on him again, the town chief understood why Zhuangzi kept pushing him. Originally! Zhuangzi is helping himself!

Suddenly! The mayor of the town cast a grateful look at Zhuangzi!

"Hmm!" Dai Daguan snorted, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Regarding the taxation of the newly reclaimed land and the policy of encouraging childbirth, I will truthfully report to the monarch!" I'll give you two strokes first! Not bad! Not bad! ”

With Zhuangzi's improvisation, the mayor finally participated in the team to discuss important matters. The three of them drank and talked about things while drinking, and it was very pleasant.
