No. 207: [Reasonable Tax Avoidance]

……

The minds of the people are the most calculating.

When they knew that there was no return to go to service, they let the strong men escape. If you run away, if you are caught, it is helpless, but if you run away, it will be your own life.

Now that there is a way to go and a way to return, they have to think about the advantageous way.

The new prefectural order has a plan that you can receive food if you are hungry, which has never been done in the previous prefectural order.

In the current world, the taxes are heavy, the water is waterlogged, I don't know if the income is guaranteed today, the food in the family is getting less and less, this year is not enough to eat the end of the year, and the family will have to go hungry sooner or later.

Sending someone to serve, and being able to go and return, and the food and clothing at home are also guaranteed, this method is obviously the best!

Everyone has a plan in their hearts.

The next day, the new county decree issued a new policy.

Only good citizens can go to the county government to receive food, and their family members who do not pay taxes and do not serve are not good citizens.

Serving families receive rations, including one portion of the serving population.

That is to say, if there are five people in the family, and one person goes to serve, and there are only four people left in the family, when they come to receive rations, they can receive the original five.

In this way, there can be a ration to keep.

This one sells and buys well.

After all the people saw this policy come out, they didn't think it was harsh, but the abacus in their hearts rang loudly, and the balance turned to Ao Wu's side.

And Lao Wang also spread the news at this time, after signing up for service, he will not be sent to the front line immediately, but will first enter the teaching, and after two months of study, he will set off to the front line when he is strong.

In this way, it is to tell the people whether it is good or not, and then decide after two months to see the effect.

If you want to escape at that time, do you still have to see the face of the new county order?

Less comes, in the face of survival, the new county order is just like that.

As a result, people came to sign up one after another.

Within a few days, hundreds of people signed up.

Lao Wang organized the manpower and asked the believers to take them to school to enter the teaching induction class to absorb the aura and cultivate.

As long as they are informed, they will not disobey Ao Wu's words and will not fail to serve.

Of course, the strength of Huangkou Yizhongtian will build a ship and die, that is too ridiculous.

So Ao Wu is still very relieved about this.

The two major matters of paying taxes and conscription have been completed, although Ao Wu has done his duty, but his heart is more towards the people, not Yang Guang's accomplice.

The tax set by Yang Guang, to be honest, is too heavy, and Ao Wu thought of tax avoidance!

In the current world, the way people choose to avoid taxes is to run away, run away from home, and become no one on the household register.

And they ran to the big families with a lot of land, farming for the big family, and paying rent for the big family.

This rent was much lighter than the imperial court's tax, and the people could afford it.

The big families have a lot of land, and when they have someone to farm for them, they accumulate a lot of wealth, and of course they are happy.

The common people survived by avoiding taxes, the big families were happy with the workers, and the household registration of the imperial court counted the population was getting smaller and smaller.

There has been a topic in history that no matter how strong the Tang Dynasty was, the population was not as large as that of the Sui Dynasty. Part of the reason for this is the problem of tax avoidance by the people.

At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Jianwen lightly paid light taxes to let the people rest and recuperate.

At this time, the tax was lighter than the rent of the big family, so a large number of people left the big family and joined the household registration, so most of the people at this time were counted in the household registration.

In the Yang Guang era, heavy taxes and wars made the people have the idea of avoiding taxes again, so they ran into the big family. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, the policy was not as good as that of the Sui Dynasty, so the people did not leave the big family, so that the number of registered people in the Tang Dynasty was always smaller than that of the Sui Dynasty.

And the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty also has the credit of such black households, who created wealth for the big family, so that they had the financial resources to promote the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

In Ao Wu's view, such a tax avoidance method is too simple.

In Ao Wu's heart, some new ways to avoid taxes have been born.

In later generations, when the law was strict, there was a saying that it was reasonable to avoid taxes, and in the ancient era of simple laws, it was not easy to avoid taxes.

He called Lao Wang and told him what he thought.

"Find me, find loopholes in the law, and then we take the people of the whole county to avoid taxes. I remember that there is a rule, the monk's field is not subject to tax, and legally it is the tax on the field, the people donated the field to the Shaolin Temple, the field does not have to pay taxes, and the monk will send relief food to the people, isn't it? ”

Lao Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said that he would immediately find the loopholes in Fajin and would definitely find them.

The matter of Liangfu County has been settled, Ao Wu doesn't want to be idle here, he has been listening to the news of the Qin Emperor's tomb, he decided to go to the Qin Emperor's tomb to have a look.

The county government of Liangfu County was handed over to Lao Wang to deal with, he is now the county government lord Bo, he is a person who knows personnel and does things in an orderly manner, and he was found by Ao Wula to find a legal loophole, and he studied the law all of a sudden, and became a legal person.

With him here, rest assured.

Don't worry about Taishan's affairs.

So he didn't even need to clean up, so he went to Xianyang.

Four days later, Ao Wu arrived in Xianyang, and after searching for a few days, he found the whereabouts of Qiu Dao Chang and them.

Seeing Granny Xing and Qiu Daochang's sad faces, they knew that they were in trouble.

One night two days later, Ao Wu followed them to a cave and walked inside.

Ao Wu went to the cave to take a look, and the yīn qi inside was very heavy, and it seemed a little cold.

It seems that this is the entrance to the tomb of Emperor Qin.

Ao Wu followed in.

Soon came to the front of a quaint stone gate.

However, the elders did not seem to enter the stone gate, but walked to the other side.

Ao Wu looked at the big stone gate, and then walked over there.

Not long after, I saw a small door, which opened and inside was an upward staircase.

Ao Wu followed and walked up.

When they reached a small stone room above, two terracotta figurines stood at a table, like servants.

Further inside, there was a downward staircase, and when I went down, halfway there, I saw a side hole next to the steps.

It was dug up later.

Why don't you go down the stairs and dig a hole to the side?

Ao Wu was strange, but climbed in anyway.

It's not familiar here, so let's follow them.

After climbing more than 20 meters, I entered a small flat hole.

Ao Wu took a look, this is a compartment, less than a meter high, but it is very wide, to say the least hundreds of meters.

After Ao Wu came in, he heard a voice over there.

But it was not obvious to him, and he followed.

After walking for hundreds of meters, I finally saw four or five people in the middle.

Granny Xing, Daochang Qiu, Xuanzhi, and Wanshan are all there.

"I'm afraid the dragon qi I received here is not enough!" Daoist Qiu complained.

Wan Shan snorted: "You can't enter the gate, you can't enter the next road, you can only be here." Aren't you afraid that you lost your life like that the other night? ”

As soon as he said this, Daoist Qiu closed his mouth.

Xuanzhi had been digging a hole, and when he heard the two arguing, he raised his head in disbelief and said, "If you want to quarrel, come down and dig a hole, it's true." ”

Wan Shan shut up at this time.

At this time, Qiu Daochang urged instead: "Hurry up, the time is almost here!" ”

Xuanzhi hurriedly lowered his head and continued to dig.

Ao Wu held his breath, listening to their words, it seemed that the dragon qi could only be absorbed when he was in the son.

After the time of the two pillars of incense, there was suddenly a ray of light from the place where Xuan Zhi was standing, which came from the hole dug.

This is the tomb of Qin, so the light came from the tomb.

Is there light in the tomb?

Isn't the tomb dark, how can there be light?

"Okay, there's a response, we're waiting here!" Daoist Qiu held a compass and said excitedly.

Granny Star said, "It's up to you, don't break it like the previous times!" ”

Daoist Qiu said firmly: "Don't worry, this time I am fully prepared." ”

He took a lot of things out of a blanket and laid them out in front of the hole.

Ao Wu couldn't see what it was on, but he knew that it must be used to absorb dragon qi.

When he was setting things up, Granny Xing looked around timidly, afraid of any accidents.

As the time got closer and closer, the time came, and I only felt a shock to the ground, and then the hole that was shining through the light suddenly ran out of a pale yellow gas.

The qi glowed with a faint yellow light, making it possible to see clearly in this dark place.

I saw that the yellow light suddenly crooked, and was sucked into the compass of the head of the hill.

Qiu Dao took a look at it, it was great, and it was successful.

Come to think of it, this is the dragon qi that Qiu Dao Chang said.

Time passed minute by minute, and I saw that the compass gradually emitted yellow light, and as more and more dragon qi was absorbed, the yellow light became brighter and brighter.

"It's fast, it's fast, there's still a pillar of incense time, and it's good to suck it!" I don't know how long it took, Daoist Qiu said happily.

Rumble......

He had barely finished his sentence when suddenly the ground shook again, and then continued to shake.

Everyone was shocked, what's the matter, can the earthquake happen?

At this time, Ao Wu heard the sound of Weng Weng vibrating, and a voice came from the ground: "Who disturbed my awakening?" ”

His eyes widened suddenly, wouldn't it, there is still Qin Shi Huang who can't do it, and Qin Shi Huang who can speak?

"Let's go!" Granny Star felt ominous and offered to leave.

"No, it'll be done in a while!" Qiu Daochang said insistently.

Both Xuanzhi and Wanshan carefully observed the surrounding terrain, only to see that the earthquake was getting worse and worse, and they were afraid that it would not be good.

"Okay, no, it's better to run!"

"A little more, a little more...... Yes!!! Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly let out an exclamation.

I heard a bang, and the place where they were standing suddenly collapsed.

The group fell together.

Ao Wu was stunned, isn't it, such a thick place, it actually collapsed, there must be a ghost down here!

To go, or not to go?

Since they're all here, there's no reason why you shouldn't go in and have a look.

Ao Wu walked towards the hole that appeared in the middle, and looked down, and under this hole, there was a honeycomb-shaped cave, ten meters from the top of the cave, there were five small holes.

At this time, there was no one below, judging from the shadow of the small hole, it should be Granny Xing who fell into the hole.

Ao Wu jumped down.

As soon as I entered the small cave, I felt a breath blowing from below.

The soil that had just collapsed was blown up by this gas.

This makes it impossible for the collapsed soil to enter the tomb and not destroy the contents inside.

It's just that where does this qi come from?

Ao Wu followed the cave and slid down, and there were faint yellow rays of light floating around him, which looked a bit like a fairyland.

But Ao Wu felt yīn cold and dead from the yellow light.

But there is also a heroic righteousness, which is a kind of emperor qi!

It seems that this is the anger of the emperor!

After sliding for more than thirty meters, Ao Wu finally came out of the hole and landed in a stone chamber. There was a pile of dirt here, and as the air blew, the soil was slowly blown into the hole and back to the top.

Judging from the footprints, Granny Star and the others also fell here, but they have already left.

Ao Wu followed and walked over.

Entering the first stone chamber, a faint white light emitted from the top, and Ao Wu looked up and saw that it was a night pearl, the size of a fist.

Judging from the location, there should be two night pearls in this room, which are symmetrically arranged on the roof of the room, but now there is only one, and the position of the other has become a hole. Someone stole it.

This one was supposed to be difficult to dig, so it wasn't dug up.

Ao Wu took out a sword, jumped on it, brushed it twice, and a night pearl was in his hand. When the portable is electrified.

Only then did he have a chance to take a look at the room, where there were two two-meter-tall giant figurines, with strange appearances, dancing with their hands, as if they were dancing.

Not interested in looking at them, Ao Wu continued to walk down, this stone room is a female xìng clay figurine, there is no night pearl on it, I looked for it, it was not dug up, but there was no one.

But there is a faint yellow light, so the line of sight is not affected.

There were two doors here, and Ao Wu couldn't see where anyone was walking, so he just found one and walked there.

There are more than ten stone rooms in a row, all of which are terracotta figurines of maids and actors.

This is the service department and entertainment department in the tomb of the Qin Emperor, right?

Soon after walking, Ao Wu saw a gate, which was larger than the previous one.

There is no way, so naturally I have to go in and have a look.

Reaching out to dig down the night pearl at the top of the door, Ao Wu pushed the door open.

A domineering aura blew out from inside.

Ao Wu stood at the door, his hair and clothes blowing up.

He took a breath of cold air, what is this?

From this momentum, he felt the division of a million wolves and tigers!

The thick stone gate rattled, opened completely, and then stopped.

It was dark inside, but Ao Wu felt as if there were tens of thousands of lions watching him inside.

Call!!!

With a sudden sound, a fire lit up.

Then the whirring sound sounded rhythmically, and the fire lit up one by one.

At this time, Ao Wu saw the scene inside clearly, and there were four figurines standing in a row, full of figurines and soldiers.

In this large stone room, there are hundreds of corridors, and each corridor is lit with torches, and the soldiers inside all move.

Sure enough, there are thousands of troops, and the momentum is like a mountain!

Ao Wu smacked his lips, this is a trouble!
