'Lizheng, Lizheng, is the news true? Bao Youdao faced the surrounding villagers and asked, and said helplessly, "Don't take it seriously, I haven't heard of it at all, it's all you said." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info'

'How do you spend these days?' A young man shouted, 'If you raise taxes, you won't be able to live.' ''Why, I've heard that it's going to be reinstated.'' '," said a slightly older man.

I heard that the household tax was going to rise, but I heard from Dr. Liquor Store. ''How did I hear that it was a field tax?'' A middle-aged aunt said, "I said that I heard from the hawkers in the village who walked the streets and alleys, and it should be right for people to go far and see a lot." ’

The villagers are talking about it, and the problems discussed are all the same, I have recently heard that the service will be reinstated, or that the tax will be raised, and there are different opinions, and everyone's sources are different, and what they hear are different, and even they are obviously heard by the same person, and the content is not the same.

Soon, they all digressed, and Li Zheng Bao shouted, "Folks, don't listen to rumors, the court hasn't announced anything yet, don't scare yourself." ’

He shouted twice, but it didn't work, and he was surrounded by undead villagers, "Youdao, I watched you grow up, don't lie to your aunt, do you want to raise taxes?" ’

"Yes, yes, yes, there is a way, we grew up brothers in open crotch pants, and now that you are a lizheng, if you really want to raise taxes, you can tell me first." Bao Youdao was helpless, he didn't listen to what he said, he would just listen to rumors, "Folks, if you really want to raise taxes, you should pay a lot, and it's useless for you to be nervous." Even if there is no increase in taxes and labor is increased, what should be done must be done. ’

Don't say this, I haven't received the news, and the newspaper hasn't announced it, so let's be calm for a while, the postman is here, I'll receive the letter first, don't leave first, see who got the letter, and take it away by the way, lest I have to run again." ’

Seeing the undead eyes of the villagers, Bao Youdao was helpless, but fortunately, the postman who delivered the letter came, saved him and diverted everyone's attention. He hurriedly went to receive the letter, received the letter, and called who would receive it, and if he was not there, he asked his neighbors to help him bring it back, and Bao Youdao was finally relaxed.

Recently, there have been rumors in the market that the imperial court is going to increase taxes, and the amount of tax increases is uncertain, some say that they want to increase household taxes, and all taxes must be raised by one level, some people say that they want to increase the field tax, and each acre of land will be increased by one percent, and some people say that the imperial court will abolish the military service and restore it, so every day people come to him here to ask.

Asked that his throat was calloused, and he asked them to say it many times a day, the court did not want to raise taxes, and there were so many times that he suspected that this tax was really going to rise, but he couldn't spread it like this, anyway, he represented the court.

He is a native of Bashu, enlisted in the army for four years in college, served for five years, and when he was about to retire, he happened to meet the whole army of the imperial court, and he stayed for another year, and only retired some time ago.

After retiring, the court asked him whether he wanted to return to his hometown to be a lizheng, or go to the frontier, and he would give him a field of fifty acres. Or go on to serve in the Second Class Army, or go to be a primary school teacher.

The same brigade has brothers, everyone has their own future, some become elementary school gentlemen, and some people take a family to the frontier to reclaim fields. He chose to return to his hometown to be a Lizheng, and after six years as a soldier, he was so proud that he learned thousands of words, and there was no problem in writing, writing, and arithmetic.

After becoming Lizheng, the first trouble he faced was that there were rumors that the imperial court was going to raise taxes. This made him very big, but fortunately, before he retired, he had been trained by Li Zheng, and when this kind of thing happened, he had to firmly say that it was a rumor, and he couldn't make promises for the court, otherwise he really didn't know how to answer.

It's a rumor, a rumor, and the court hasn't announced it yet. Picked up the pen and practiced calligraphy, Bao Youdao calmed down a little. When he was a soldier, he heard the story of Zeng Shen's murder, and he thought it was funny, if it was his mother, he would never believe it like this.

Why did three people tell him one after another that her son had killed someone, and that she would believe it as a mother. You are a mother, you don't believe in your son so much, you are so close to your cronies, you are really a woman.

Now that he has met it, he knows that if he hadn't convinced himself like this every day, maybe he would have believed that the imperial court would raise taxes, otherwise he would have to resume servitude.

In fact, he thinks it doesn't hurt to raise taxes. Originally, he returned to his hometown in glory and became a lizheng, not big or small, he is also an official, and there are many benefits.

But after returning to his hometown, he found that his hometown has changed a lot over the years, everyone's income has increased, and the court's agricultural judge has taught everyone a lot of planting techniques, making everyone much better. An oil mill has been built in the township, and every year they grow sesame seeds and soybeans for their own use, and sell them to nearby big cities.

There is also the canning factory, which runs all over the mountains and fields to get fat chickens, and eats dregs and grows up fat pigs, all of which have entered the canning factory, otherwise they will be beaten by the villagers and sacrificed, and the meat is no longer a rare time to eat during the New Year's holidays. Occasionally, there will be a theater troupe, and a small trader who will follow. The troupe entertained the villagers, and the small vendors sold beautiful and thick cloth and salted fish, and bought some goods.

In the capital, the folks have a much better life. He thinks that the imperial court has raised taxes, and it is nothing, and the increase in the income of the people is due to the kindness of today's saints, and the reign of the Son of Heaven, everyone has a better life, and I heard that the Son of Heaven is still frugal every day, so what is there to add some taxes.

However, it is okay to raise taxes, and it is better not to increase the number of servants. In the slack time, the villagers will look for work, depending on whether they will go to the canning factory, or go to the textile factory to work, and serve as a servant, which is too wasteful of time, and I am afraid that everyone would rather pay for it than serve the conscription.

Forget it, I don't want to do this, this kind of thing, wait for the court to issue a notice, or wait for the newspaper to get the news, you will know, it's useless to think about it now.

It looks like it's pretty much the same. Li Chen looked at Jinyi's report, "It's time to carry out the census." With that, he threw the report on the table. It's been a few months, it's really troublesome, but it's just a census, wouldn't it be good to accept it directly, and you have to do your best.

The news of the tax increase and the resumption of military service was all passed on by Li Chen, and in a few months, it finally spread all over the country, and it would be done, if nothing else, for the census.

It's so troublesome because the armor protection method didn't go well before. Initially implemented in a few prefectures that had already been reclaimed to the country, the law went smoothly, and the local party and Uighur tribes were very receptive to it, although it had to be recruited every three years.

However, they do not have to go far away, at most they are more than 100 miles away from home to serve, and they say that they can accept this. However, it is not easy to implement it in the mainland.

The people were very resistant to this armor protection law, although they were also not far from home, and the conscription interval was even longer. When a man reaches adulthood, he undergoes training for half a year, and then every four years, he re-enlists and serves for two months. This time is also similar to the rent Yong's adjustment of fifteen days of forced labor every year.

But the people just resisted, so the results were quite unsatisfactory. Many people hid their household registrations, falsely claiming that the male in the family had died of illness, but they refused to apply, which made Li Chen very annoyed.

Although it is advertised that being a soldier is glorious and there are many benefits of serving, many people just don't want to, which makes him very dumbfounded. In addition, the trial census is also very resistant, and there are all kinds of rumors, saying that this survey is the basis for the imperial court to increase taxes, saying that the imperial court will take advantage of this to draw Ding, and will change the household tax to Ding tax in the future, and there are all rumors.

Inexplicable rumors, I don't know where they came from. Let the census go ahead. The only fortunate thing is that the census has only been tried in a small number of areas, and it has not been fully rolled out and has not caused a lot of trouble.

He wondered if there was such a comprehensive census policy in history, and that the comprehensive census would still be effective.

After thinking about it for a long time, he thought of the Manchu Qing. The poll tax was completely abolished, and the tax was apportioned to the acre, and the tax was added to the fields. Let the Chinese no longer be limited by the problem of poll tax, and let the Chinese population surpass any period before the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Although partly because the import of various high-yield crops has allowed the Chinese population to have an explosive growth. However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had to divide the land into the mu, which was also a merit, so that the people no longer concealed their household registration.

At one point, he considered whether to abolish the household tax altogether. The two tax laws of the Tang Dynasty have abolished the servitude, leaving the land tax and household tax. Although it is said that the servitude has been abolished, it still exists, but after he became a politician, it has been abolished.

I knew that at the beginning, I should not abolish the servitude, and I should have directly implemented the servitude as a armor protection law, maybe it would be relatively smooth. However, this is just a matter of thinking, and I am afraid that everyone will not be willing to turn military service into military service. Besides, there are some problems with this.

The problem is that it is very easy to train for half a year, and to be used for hard labor, and as a result, some people will make a fortune from it, and they will be used to hire laborers for money, and the laborers are replaced by these serving soldiers, and the money is swallowed up.

Let's not mention this possible problem, abolish the household tax, so that they are less likely to conceal the report, so that the census is implemented? It is probably also very difficult, serving in the army, which has a history of thousands of years in China, has made it a habit for the common people, so once the Ding tax is abolished, it will be hard to live, and it will no longer be hidden.

But in military service, it's difficult. Unless the Chinese encounter troubled times, there is a saying that "good iron does not hit nails, and good men do not serve soldiers." There is no way to do it in troubled times, but as long as the world is not in flames, the people are not willing to join the army.

The most obvious is the Tang Dynasty. Joining the army in the early Tang Dynasty was an honorable and promising act. But gradually, the people were disgusted and resisted.

Even if the people would accept it, abolishing the household tax, allowing the people to accept the census and accept military service, the burden is too heavy for Datang. At present, Datang still has a lot of money to use, and it can also receive millions of yuan in household tax every year.

What's more, in Li Chende's concept, everyone has to pay personal income tax. Household tax, even if it is one. The household tax is actually very fair, the household is divided into nine classes, and the more money you have, the more you pay.

Not to mention, this household tax is still the basis of Datang commercial tax, some families do business, I don't know how much they earn, they are all calculated by household level, and if you raise a few levels, it is your business tax. If the household tax is abolished, this commercial tax will be nerve-wracking again.

Since the Manchu Qing method can't work, let's find someone who is closer to the age. He also thought about the Song Dynasty armor protection law, how was it implemented in the first place? This may be used as a reference.

But after thinking about it carefully, he found that he was really not impressed by the Song Dynasty armor protection method, and it seemed that he was recruiting peasants, taking advantage of the slack time, the grain was harvested, and he used the idle land to train and train on the spot.

Is this possible? In this way, do not gather the peasants into the cities? However, the Song Dynasty incurred a lot of additional costs for this. Moreover, he didn't know how effective the implementation of the armor protection law in the Song Dynasty was, and whether he could adapt to the training of the musket era.

His armor protection method, except for the name, the content is not quite the same as that of the Song Dynasty. He imitated the practice of compulsory service in later generations. Soldiers must be concentrated in one place so that the guns and ammunition can be controlled. Otherwise, wilt thou give every man who has served in the military a gun? Reclaim? If it spreads to the vast rural areas, it will be difficult to control.

After thinking about it, he came up with several methods. First of all, it is necessary to increase propaganda on the glory of being a soldier. In fact, the new army has a lot of preferential treatments, not to mention that after being discharged from the army, there are definitely good work arrangements. When the recruits start a family, their children are guaranteed to be able to attend school.

No matter where they are, whether they are Taoism, Buddhism, or elementary and middle schools set up by the local government, the children of soldiers are not said to be free of charge, but they are guaranteed to be enrolled. At present, primary and secondary schools are not universal, that is, enrollment is guaranteed. When it is universalized in the future, there will be an education subsidy. In addition, retired soldiers set up a medical hall in the imperial court, and there will be discounts for medical treatment.

On the one hand, it is necessary to increase publicity on the glory of being a soldier and all kinds of preferential treatment for being a soldier. On the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen propaganda, serving is the responsibility of a man, and being a soldier is a good man.

This dispels the public's antipathy to being a soldier, but it does not guarantee that the census will be successful. He also planned supporting measures, such as having a census to enroll in school, not having a census, not being able to register, not being able to enroll, not being able to enjoy many benefits, and not even having peace after death.

Death is great, and he intends to use Taoism, and Buddhism. You don't want to cheat death, then preach, you can't ascend to heaven and you can't rest without excess, just like Christianity.

He can't be blamed for doing this. In modern society, the census is very common. As soon as you are born, you have to get a hukou, and if you don't have a hukou, you won't even be allowed to do it as a part-time worker.

However, this is a double-edged blade, he is worried that it will make the religious power too great, and when the census is completed and the Tang Dynasty has become a religious country, then he is really shameless to face the ancestors of the Li family.

This method was retained, and in order to ensure that the policy was consistently implemented, he also planned this way of spreading rumors. I want to use this method to make the census possible.

Man, you don't know without comparison. It's just a census, where are there so many opinions, and life has been so good these years? In that case, let me reminisce about the days when you had to serve in the army.
