Update total: The power of Ebony Cliff has taken root in Guanzhong, but what makes Qu Bucai feel aggrieved is that the Si Shi of Ebony Cliff has never found a chance to assassinate Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, and Bai Mo, and there is no chance to assassinate Liu Bang.
However, the news about the white ink change method continued to spread to Jiangdong.
##########
At the turn of spring and summer, Qu Bucai finally returned to Jiangdong.
Xiang Zhuang immediately summoned Qu Bucai in the upper study, and at the same time sent people to invite Fan Zeng, Xiang He, Xiang Tuo, Bai Lixian, Wu She, Bi Shu and other civil and military ministers.
In front of Xiang Zhuang and the ministers, Qu Bucai briefly stated the beginning and end of Baimo's reform.
When the words fell, Xiang He said in disbelief: "Bai Mo's implementation of the new law of Jun Yao service and equal calculation did not cause a rebellion from Guanzhong Haoqiang? β
Qu Bucai said: "Back to Ling Yin, Guanzhong Haoqiang resisted, and it was hundreds of Haoqiang in more than a dozen counties who resisted, but their resistance was finally suppressed by the cruel town of the Han Army, "Qihang Jian Watermark", and Zhou Guanfu, who was appointed by Liu Bang as the general of the Protector of the Law, slaughtered these hundreds of Haoqiang in one go!" β
Xiang Zhuang said awe-inspiringly: "Liu Bang, it's really ruthless!" β
Fan Zeng said suddenly: "Liu Bang Xiao'er fled for his own life, even his biological son and biological daughter can push off the carriage, what is it to kill hundreds of Guanzhong Haoqiang?" β
Wu Shi frowned and said, "Then what about the rest of the Guanzhong Haoqiang?" There are more than 70 counties in the four counties of Guanzhong, and there are thousands of powerful heroes, and Zhou Guanfu's bloody town has suppressed hundreds of heroes, and the rest of the heroes are just watching? Aren't they afraid that Liu Bang will free up his hands to slaughter them again? β
Qu Bucai sighed: "Doctor, the remaining Guanzhong Haoqiang is powerless even if they want to resist, because Jun Yao's service and Pingzhuan Fu have won the hearts of the people, and after Zhou Guanfu Town's "Set Sail without Watermark" suppressed hundreds of Haoqiang, the people of Guanzhong also knew Liu Bang's determination to change the law, so they supported the new law en masse, and no one worked for the Haoqiang family anymore!" β
The reason why Haoqiang is Haoqiang, not only because of their own status in the township, as well as their respective property, but also because of their prestige, as long as they ascend to the heights, the strong men of the four miles and eight towns will gather to respond, this is Haoqiang, but once the strong men of the four miles and eight towns no longer bird them, they will lose power.
"The king, after Jun Yao's service and flat calculation, the majority of the people of Lishu will have no worries, and they can let go of life and raising, and the population of Guanzhong and Bashu is afraid that it will grow sharply!" Bi Shu said worriedly, "This is not good news for Da Chu. β
Fan Zeng, Xiang He, and Bai Lixian nodded thoughtfully.
This is indeed the case, the people of Li Shu in the Chu State today generally only have a small amount of arable land, although Jiangdong is full of wasteland, and there are countless lands that can be cultivated, but the labor of a strong man is limited after all. β¦,
But even if it is cooked land, in addition to paying state taxes, the hard-earned grain also has to pay field rent, several heavy plates are stripped off, and the remaining grain is less than half, feeding a family of four is still very reluctant, if you give birth to seven or eight, just counting the endowment can squeeze all the harvest of the year, and then what is an old snack for a family?
Therefore, the majority of the people in Lishu do not dare to let go of life and raising.
If the calculation of endowment is abolished, then the people will not have so many scruples, because no matter how many babies are born, they don't need to pay more, although there are more babies and more mouths, but the food is not enough to eat, isn't it okay to dig wild vegetables to eat? When the baby is a little older, when they have labor, they can still help reclaim the raw land, or rent a few more acres of cooked land, isn't it enough to eat?
Xiang Zhuang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Bang can serve and calculate evenly, and we can do the same!" β
After saying this, Xiang Zhuang said to Xiang He and Baili Xian: "Ziyi, Ziliang, you go back to the accounting, calculate a quota for all kinds of miscellaneous labor and calculation, and then unify it into the field tax, and then reformulate a tax rate, starting from this year, the field tax will be levied according to the new tax rate, and all miscellaneous labor and miscellaneous taxes will be abolished together!" β
"Whoa!" Xiang He and Bai Lixian hurriedly knelt down and stood up, and bowed to Xiang Zhuang.
Xiang Zhuang paused, and said: "The left and right should be evenly serviced and evenly calculated, so it is better to simply launch the third batch of new laws together, and then complete the military system reform." β
"Whoa!" Xiang He and Bai Lixian responded again.
##########
Three days later, Xiang He and Bai Lixian entered the palace overnight and reported their accounting results to Xiang Zhuang.
With Xiang Zhuang's efforts to flip through the inventory, Xiang He said: "The king, Yao service, change of pawn and other items are mainly used to build cities, roads, borders, etc., the problems of the border can be solved through the reform of the military system, mainly to build cities, roads, bridges and other matters, when the time comes, the treasury needs to allocate money and grain to recruit labor from the people to complete." β
"Hmm." Xiang Zhuang nodded and asked, "And then?" β
"The minister and Ziliang have calculated, and at present, Jiangdong has a population of more than 2.6 million, and there are more than 800,000 registered Zhuangding."
"Each strong man needs to serve Yao service for one month every year, and each strong man consumes at least one stone of rations per month, so Yao service is converted into 800,000 stone for Chengtian!"
"More than 1.8 million mouths, and the mouth endowment is 900,000 stones!"
"There are more than 800,000 dings, and the diner is 800,000 stones!"
"Coupled with the original Tian Fu of 900,000, the final Tian Fu quota is 3.4 million stones!"
"Three million and four thousand stones?!" Xiang Zhuang was secretly shocked when he heard this, and said, "Jiangdong has more than 12 million mu of cultivated land, that is to say, the average per mu of cultivated land needs to be paid 34 catties?" Assuming that the output of one mu of cultivated land is one stone, that is, one hundred and twenty catties, then the final tax rate of land is not more than four taxes and one? β
Four taxes and one, this is already an unimaginable tax burden!
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Zhuang suddenly remembered another thing and asked, "By the way, you said that Jiangdong should collect the mouth and calculate the food, which is equivalent to 1.7 million stones?" But why didn't you see this batch of grain in the warehouse last year? β
Bai Lixian was stunned and said, "You forgot, king? When the law of compiling households and the people was implemented, you had already issued an edict that the entire Great Chu would not be given or counted within ten years! β
Xiang Zhuang slapped his forehead and said, "Look at the widow's memory." β
When the law of arranging households was first implemented, Xiang Zhuang issued an edict to reduce and reduce the oral endowment and calculation for ten years in order to get the support of the majority of Li Shu people, because at that time, the Jiangdong clan and the scholar clan hid a large number of Dingkou, and the actual collection of oral endowment and calculation was extremely limited, so Xiang Zhuang did not care much, and he was exempted for ten years with a stroke of the pen.
..., Xiang Zhuang said: "Since this is the case, the quota of oral endowment and calculation will be exempted." β
Xiang said: "If the oral tax is reduced or exempted, and the fixed amount is calculated, the final tax rate of the field tax should be seven taxes and one. β
Xiang Zhuang said: "If it is reduced again, the final tax rate of land will be set at ten taxes!" This is also the psychological bottom line of Xiang Zhuang, tithes are almost the highest tax burden of the Chinese feudal dynasty, of course, at the end of the dynasties, crazy tax hikes and even the abnormal situation of pre-levying decades of land taxes is not comparable.
"Ten taxes one?" Xiang He frowned and said, "King, will this cause the treasury to be tight?" β
Bai Lixian was also a little worried, and said: "Yes, the king, after the abolition of Yao service, miscellaneous service, change of pawn, mouth endowment, and calculation endowment, this field endowment has become the only source of tax for the treasury. β
Bai Lixian is telling the truth, now there are about 300 civil officials and more than 300 military attaches in the entire Chu State, and the average salary of these civil and military officials is 500 stones, that is, 300,000 stones; to feed 50,000 standing garrisons, 600,000 stone per year; In addition, there is also a distribution of Lu rice from Shiqing's relatives, how many can be left in the end?
What can be done with these two jujubes?
At that time, not to mention building the city and repairing the road, even if it is to repair the palace for Xiangzhuang, it will have to be borrowed.
Moreover, there are not too many relatives who have obtained knighthoods now, and the pressure is not great, but in the future, as more and more relatives receive knighthoods, the pressure on the treasury is bound to increase.
Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said indifferently: "The shortage is temporary, with the increase of population, the total area of cultivated land in Jiangdong will definitely increase, so that the treasury revenue will also increase, and the situation will gradually improve, not to mention, although the Yao service, oral endowment, and calculation endowment have been abolished, but the field endowment is not the only income of the treasury." β
Xiang He said: "What kind of goods tax is the king talking about? But how much income can this have? β
The so-called goods tax refers to the tax paid according to the total value of the goods when the goods pass through the wharf and checkpoint.
However, the commercial trade in the pre-Qin period was small in scale, and most of them were retail sales, such as Tao Zhugong such a giant merchant can be described as rare, the contribution of tax revenue is naturally limited, now Chu state-owned public transport paper, books, shochu and other goods continue to sell to the Central Plains, commercial trade has been a lot more prosperous than before, but the tax revenue is not much.
According to the price of 30 yuan and one stone, it is converted into rice grain, and it is also 350,000 stone tax.
Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said: "At present, there are still very few merchants in Jiangdong, and there is not much circulation of goods, so there is very little tax on goods, but after the implementation of the third batch of new laws, merchants can also obtain knighthoods by trafficking goods and paying taxes on goods. β
In ancient China, commerce did not begin to flourish until the Song Dynasty, but as a crosser, Xiang Zhuang knew that factors such as population and productivity were not the main factors restricting the development of commerce.
The wisdom of the Chinese people is not inferior to any nation in the world, so as long as the government "sets sail without watermarks" to relax the policy of suppressing business, the commerce of Chu will develop rapidly, and with the continuous expansion of the scale of commerce, the contribution of tax revenue will also be more and more, and over time, commercial tax revenue will definitely surpass Tianfu to become the main source of treasury revenue! οΌ
