101 Commencement of Immigration (Part I)

Liu Hong is now very proud, a monument unveiled, and the public sacrifice of the Martyrs' Pavilion, plus military merit medals and heavy rewards of money. This is both honor and material, and he is considered to have completely collected the hearts of all the soldiers.

After the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, Liu Hong was idle. All government affairs are handled by Prime Minister Liu Qian, and the military is in charge of the Military Aircraft Department, and he is only responsible for pleasure all day long, and he doesn't have to bother at all.

But God just didn't want Liu Hong to be so idle, he hadn't been idle for a few days, and the men and horses he sent out to explore Ryukyu, Taiwan and Jiaozhou came back.

This is a serious matter, Liu Hong did not dare to slack off, and immediately summoned everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are the results of the investigation, is it suitable for living and immigration?"

Although Liu Hong knew that these places and future generations were very prosperous, but what was going on at this time, he really didn't have a big bottom in his heart.

"Your Majesty, that place is so good, too livable, too suitable for immigration." The leader of these people, while presenting the report he had prepared to Liu Hong, said to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is so big, he has never seen such fertile land. Wechen asked the local natives, they didn't know how to farm at all, they just scattered the seeds on the ground indiscriminately, and then waited for the harvest. In this way, they can all have a good harvest. ”

Hearing this, Liu Hong was completely relieved. Liu Hong asked him to forward the report to the prime minister, asking him to speed up the preparations for immigration and wait for the drug to be developed. Immediately proceed with immigration.

Not long after the messenger left, Zhang Zhongjing, the secretary of the Ministry of Health, came. He reported to Liu Hong that through the joint efforts of him and Hua Tuo, drugs for the prevention of miasma and the treatment of water and soil discomfort had been developed.

"Today is a really good day, and the good news is one after the other. The prevention of miasma and the treatment of soil and water adaptation have been successfully developed. Add to that the fact that I get toilet water to repel mosquitoes and immigrate to these places, so it's definitely not a problem. ”

"No, I forgot about the ship. If there is no boat, unless people can swim through. Otherwise, you will never be able to reach Ryukyu and Taiwan. ”

Thinking of this question, Liu Hong hurriedly sent someone to the shipyard to ask. How are the ships he arranged?

The people sent by Liu Hong went fast and came back quickly. It didn't take long to get the letter, and the shipyard had already built a lot of ships. And it won't take much time, and a large number of ships will be completed, which will definitely not affect Liu Hong's immigration.

Things have been prepared for so long, and now that the preparations are complete, of course he has to emigrate. But while he is emigrating, he has two reforms to complete. These are the most important of all reforms, land reform, and agricultural tax reform.

These are two hard bones, and they will definitely not be easy to gnaw. For agricultural tax, Liu Hong should implement the apportionment of the land into the mu, and the officials and gentry should pay taxes as one. As for land reform, Liu Hong wanted to use extremely preferential policies to relocate the people to the southern islands and Jiaozhou. This is definitely the meat of the family's door valve, if they can accept it calmly, it will be a strange thing.

"Your Majesty, think about it. There is no turning back from the bow, and once it starts, we can't turn back. ”

"Uncle Huang, do you think I have any other choice now?"

Hearing Liu Hong's words, Liu Qian sighed. At this point, of course he knew that Liu Hong was also forced to do this helplessly.

There are so many families in the Han Dynasty, they occupy so much land, but they don't pay any taxes. And the poor people, who have no land at all, still have to pay a lot of taxes and fees, such as poll tax or something. After the common people can't survive, it's no wonder if they don't rebel. Therefore, if Liu Hong wants to keep the throne and keep the country of the Han Dynasty, this unreasonable regulation must be changed.

"Your Majesty, since you have made up your mind, Weichen will no longer persuade you. However, Weichen felt that these families would definitely not just forget it, and asked His Majesty to prepare early. ”

Liu Hong has already considered what Liu Qian said. No one wants to give up their own interests, so those families will definitely make trouble for him.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong sighed. He kept thinking that if he could be completely exempted from agricultural taxes like later generations, and even have subsidies for growing grain. In that case, there will be absolutely no resistance to his reform, and even all people will fully support him.

"But right now, I really don't have that condition. If I had really exempted the agricultural tax, the imperial court would have gone bankrupt immediately. Liu Hong kept pondering, "Although it is not possible to exempt it completely, it is feasible to exempt it a little." In this way, not only can ordinary people get benefits, but also reduce the resentment of the family to some extent. Let this reform go a little smoother. ”

Liu Hong didn't have much confidence in this idea, so he asked Liu Qian: "Uncle Huang, you said that if all the people of the Han Dynasty are exempted from a certain amount of land taxes. Those family gate valves get benefits, will they be able to stop me from causing trouble? ”

"Your Majesty, unless you are completely exempt from taxes, the effect will not be great. But in this case, you will definitely get the support of ordinary people. ”

Liu Hong also knew that this idea was a bit naΓ―ve, but he still wanted to try, so he said, "Uncle Huang, tell the world." As long as they are Han people, each person can enjoy the tax exemption of ten acres of land. Although I don't know if this regulation can reduce the resentment of the family. But I know that those people at the bottom will definitely be able to get a lot of benefits. ”

"A tax-free share of ten acres can almost get all the people at the bottom, those who own land, out of taxes. Such a provision is definitely a great kindness to them. ”

Liu Hong agrees with Liu Qian's words. But I don't know how useful this is for the great kindness of the people and for the family gate.

Ten acres of tax reduction per person, coupled with the preferential treatment of tax exemption from Shihejue, the family gate valve can also enjoy a lot of preferential treatment. But compared to the past, when they didn't pay any taxes, this little discount didn't seem to be a big deal. Therefore, Liu Hong and Liu Qi basically did not have hope that this policy would move the family gate.

In fact, these allowances add up to a lot. This is mainly due to the family gate valve, which occupies too much land, so these concessions are not put in their eyes. If ordinary people get so many discounts, they will definitely be able to supply Liu Hong.

Regardless of whether the family gate valve can understand Liu Hong's "painstaking efforts", this reform must be implemented. And in the next step, Liu Hong is to lure the people and immigrate on a large scale.

"Your Majesty, since you want to be tempted, the conditions offered must be enough for the people to be tempted. Otherwise, no one will follow suit. ”
