Chapter 335: [All the People Rejoice]
Ma Zhong, who was by Tai Shici's side, also benefited a lot, and his archery skills also improved greatly.
This competition is also of great significance to Xu Huang, and when it comes to a realm like Xu Huang, it is difficult to improve one step further, but Xu Huang has seen Wei Yan's continuous improvement and progress in the past few months, Xu Huang thought to himself that even a top military general like the lord can go further, why can't I.
Wei Yan's pursuit of excellence and determination to improve his skills is a great spiritual inspiration for all soldiers.
The individual skills of the Wei soldiers continued to improve in the days that followed, and they became more active and diligent in their training, because they had a glorious and great example to learn from, and they were always inspired to go further.
Out of the school, Wei Yan went straight back to his general's mansion and returned to the inner house, where he was busy for a day, and it was nearly two watches.
Wei Yan's wives and concubines had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Wei Yan coming home, they all gathered around, some were busy taking off the golden crown for him, some were busy taking off their armor for him, and some were busy taking off their boots for him.
From the moment Wei Yan stepped into the house, seeing the charming smiles of his wife and concubines, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, his cold face eased, he was happy from the bottom of his heart, and it felt so good to go home.
It was a hot summer, and a lot of old ice had been placed in the general's mansion to escape the heat, and the eldest wife Huang Yueying had already asked the maid to put a large basin of cold spring water for Wei Yan, which was the next spring water from the mountain.
While taking a bath, Wei Yan hummed a brisk song: "It feels so good to go home, don't care about the worldly distractions, soak the mask all day, busy and tired brains into the water, and let every cell forget about troubles!" My home is my castle, every brick and tile is created with love, the smile of the family is my treasure, and I don't know how important I am when I go home! Your hands can be rough for your family, what a glory, so proud, you cook for me, I clean for you, it feels really good to go home! ”
He is on the battlefield, facing the most direct enemy, in the officialdom, facing the indirect enemy, he is either fully vigilant and murderous, or nervous to avoid being fooled, every time he is very nervous and tired, only when he returns home to completely relax, because there is no enemy at home that he is always on guard.
Because he regards his home as a warm harbor, Wei Yancai is particularly disgusted with things like the mansion gate palace fight, although he knows that those jealousy and intrigues will appear in any polygamous family, but he just hates that kind of family atmosphere, whoever starts such a discordant atmosphere first will be treated coldly by Wei Yan.
Huang Yueying has always believed that she does not compete for favor and only thinks about her husband by doing her own thing, her husband is not a stupid man, he can feel how much sincerity he has, and the result is the same, Wei Yan's favorite is Huang Yueying, who never fights for favor and does things wholeheartedly, not only because Huang Yueying is his first woman, the most in line with his aesthetics, the smartest, but also because Huang Yueying's character is the most gentle as water, a masculine man like Wei Yan likes the most gentle woman, overcoming rigidity with softness, as expected.
Wei Yan hummed a song while taking a bath, enjoying a rare leisure time.
I am afraid that this kind of leisure and comfort is becoming less and less, even if Wei Yan wants to be a drunken and beautiful monarch, the tide of history will still push him to be more and more busy waking up to the power of the world.
The scorching heat is coming, the weather is hot, and there are many plagues, Wei Yan asked the troops guarding the county towns and towns to do a good job of cleaning and sanitation to prevent the plague, and the medical students of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing went to various places to guide the epidemic prevention work.
Wei Yan followed the time of the day, and ceased fighting in the three months of the sixth, seventh, and eighth months of the lunar calendar, and rested with the soldiers.
In addition to cultivating grain on the tuntian fields to which they belong, in addition to helping their families cultivate grain, soldiers and tuntian soldiers also participated in the construction of water conservancy to avoid flooding in summer.
The rest of the time, except for getting together for training once every five days, is to have enough rest and recharge energy.
In these three months, Wei Yan has done a great thing that everyone praises, he announced the exemption of arithmetic, that is, the exemption of poll tax, this policy of benefiting the people undoubtedly makes the people get great benefits, and all the people are jubilant for a while, Wei Yan almost became a Buddha of all people.
The reason why Wei Yan was exempted from the calculation of the tax, in addition to reducing the pressure on the people and allowing the people to recuperate from the war, was also because of the calculation of more than 100 yuan per person for each of the seven million people in the eight counties of Yiyang, the total amount was only 700 million yuan.
Moreover, Wei Yan's exemption from taxation is conditional, only those who are naturalized in the government can be exempted from calculation, and naturalized people can pass freely within the eight counties of Yiyang, and those who are not registered can not only not get a share of the land, but also have to pay ten times the calculation, even if they are the servants of the powerful and wealthy families, they must be naturalized, otherwise they will be severely punished for the powerful and wealthy families after they are found.
Wei Yan did not make such a move, not like some bullshit temporary residence permit or anything like that in later generations, but wanted to verify how many people there were in the entire eight counties of Yiyang, and wanted to force the hidden population of those big families to be revealed.
Seeing that Wei Yan swept away Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Biao and the rebels of the family, the families in various places did not dare to disobey Wei Yan's will anymore and began to pay land taxes and commercial taxes.
Of course, Wei Yan's current policy is to lightly give the people rest, so the land tax is not very high, which is a drop in the bucket for the big families, and they don't need to fight against Wei Yan's 100,000 horses for such a little money, and they will only end up in ashes like the original rebel families, so they compromised.
These families paid the land tax on the land, and the tax was only linked to the income from the acres, shops, minerals, etc., not to the population, so they continued to hide the population without the slightest benefit, and there was no incentive to continue to hide the population, and under the pressure of heavy fines, they drove all the slaves and tenant farmers who had been hidden before to the local county and township pavilion to register and make a register.
The time given by Wei Yan is three months, and the population statistics of the eight counties of Yiyang should be completed within three months.
The regular army, garrison army, and tuntian soldiers stationed in various places helped the local government to urge the people in various places to go to the government to register and obtain household registration certificates, including every displaced person who entered the eight counties of Yiyang was also resettled and registered.
