"Yes, my lord." Huang Shi walked out of the ranks, he had worked in the imperial court, and he seemed to give people a very reliable feeling.

"Just now, Cao Lao reported on the employment of the residents of the territory, and there are a total of 1.4 million farmers in the entire territory, of which after one more trial, there are 840,000 junior farmers and 560,000 intermediate farmers. The standard work efficiency of a junior farmer is that each person can cultivate two acres of land per month, 300 units of grain per mu of land, and after the addition of talent and subordinate political value, the cultivated area is doubled, then a junior farmer can produce 1,200 units of grain per month, and the cultivated area of an intermediate farmer is twice that of a junior farmer, that is, 2,400 units a month. ”

"After the rules of heaven and earth have changed, from one yield per month to one yield every three months, there is a month of fallow time after the period, in fact, you can only cultivate three times a year, but there are four months of grain production after three months of cultivation, so it is calculated that a junior farmer can harvest 4,800 units of grain in one cultivation, 9,600 units of intermediate farmers, counting the 5% of Shennong's token and my 17% bonus, the entire territory has 11.5 billion units of grain harvested at one time. The tax rate that I discussed with Cao Lao and the officials is 30 percent and a half, of which half is used for the Yicang Yiji in the township and the expenses of soldiers and officials, and the actual storage is 30 percent, which is 3.4 billion units of grain ......."

"Stop, stop."

Lu Shuang interrupted Huang Shi's words, he was very puzzled why he was taxed, wasn't all this grain his? Then he asked: "Cao Lao, Huang Shi, isn't the grain produced by this peasant enough to be collectively owned?" Why tax? ”

Cao Lao and Huang Shi glanced at each other, as human spirits, they immediately knew that there was a misunderstanding in the middle, Cao Lao smiled: "The lord doesn't know, and from this year, things in the territory are divided into individuals, and we can only tax the grain produced by farmers, not all of them." The same is true for others, and many residents now have the money to buy the place where he works as their own private building. And for those who work for us in our territory, we also have to pay a monthly salary to ask them to work, so we can only pay taxes to keep the territory running. ”

Lu Shuang heard Cao Lao's explanation, coupled with the content of the game update, and immediately came up with the key, it turned out that this is the so-called game world into a private ownership society. All of these NPCs will almost always follow the rules of a private society, and no longer work for the lord for free, but as a ruler they can collect a certain amount of taxes. In this way, Lu Shuang wants them to work and produce products, and there are only two options, one is to recruit them to work for them with a salary, and give them a fixed salary every month or according to performance, and the other is that they set up their own handicraft workshops and sell the products they produce to others or Lu Shuang to buy. In short, it can be understood that they are in the society of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but there is a lack of hierarchy.

"Huang Shi, you go on, but the thirty and a half percent of the tax, is it only so much, and the rest is not levied again?" Lu Shuang asked.

"Yes, my lord, don't look at other places that only charge ten taxes and one one, but they count the poll tax, military service and all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and only half of them are really paid, and if we only collect a grain tax, they have a lot of surplus in addition to feeding their families, and they can even have money to save." Huang Shi explained.

Seeing Lu Shuang nodded, Huang Shi continued: "There are 3.4 billion units of grain in storage, except for the 500,000 troops and miners and lumberjacks who need us to cover food and lodging, a total of less than 400 million units of grain have been spent in four months, so we still have 3 billion units of grain that can be used to pay four months' salary and buy materials." In the territory, the unit price of grain is forty percent lower than that outside, only 6 copper coins per unit, while the unit price of grain in the outside reaches 10 copper coins, even if the unit price in the territory is calculated, the average monthly grain tax is 450,000 gold, which is only agricultural tax. Of course, not all food will be sold, we will only sell a part of it. ”

"As for other professions, such as fishermen, butchers or salesmen, we don't need to pay a salary for them, on the contrary, we can collect business taxes from them. Due to the efficiency of work and the abundance of products, coupled with the low price of food, the inhabitants of the territory are very willing to consume, which greatly promotes the development of commerce, and the residents engaged in commercial activities have almost no goods that cannot be sold. His subordinates and other officials discussed the establishment of a department to supervise and manage the market, crack down on illegal activities, and maintain market order. In this case, the commercial tax we levy is 40% of the profit, and this tax rate will be adjusted up and down according to the future situation. Ordinary traders can make a profit of several gold per month, and the tax is as high as 200,000 gold a month, and the total agricultural and commercial tax is 650,000 gold. ”

"In the territory, there are about 800,000 people in the territory, such as miners and lumberjacks, as well as high-level and above life occupations and the army, who need our monthly salary. According to the price, we have formulated the relevant salary standards, 30 silver per month for junior talents, 50 silver for intermediate talents, 1 silver for senior talents, 1 gold and 50 silver for special talents, 5 gold for king-level talents, 15 gold for emperor-level talents, and civil officials and military generals are also calculated according to this salary standard; 20 silver for fifth-order soldiers, 30 silver for sixth-order soldiers, 50 silver for seventh-order soldiers, 1 gold for eighth-order soldiers, 2 gold for ninth-order soldiers, and cavalry and sappers are counted separately. These people need to pay a total of about 480,000 gold a month, and after removing some military expenses, as well as the possible reduction in production caused by the 'fierce year' encountered in agricultural production, Feitian City can save 100,000 gold a month. ”

When Lu Shuang listened to Huang Shi's report, her heart kept beating up and down, for fear that the financial expenditure of the territory would be too large, and there would be a financial deficit, and then cause dissatisfaction among the residents of the territory. Lu Shuang also knew that all the inhabitants of the territory could comprehend the primary skills, which meant that they must have produced a lot of products, but the salaries they paid could not be in line with the outside world. For example, a large surplus of grain will cause oversupply, so the price will be relatively low, when the price of grain is reduced, other residents can spend more income on other consumption, which promotes the development of commerce. And because the peasants have a lot of surplus grain, they will keep some of the grain for their own use, and as long as the price of the grain sold is not too low, they will make a profit.

It's just that when Lu Shuang listened to Huang Shi's report, he was also frightened by this income and expenditure, the income in the territory alone was as high as 650,000 gold, and the expenditure was close to 500,000 gold, and there was a lot of equipment piled up in the warehouse and not sold in time, otherwise this income would be even more.

"And when the main god changed the rules of heaven and earth, considering that many territories may not be able to adapt for a while, some blacksmiths such as butchers or junior and intermediate blacksmiths will fund the rental or purchase of corresponding buildings, and only high-level buildings are still owned by us, which also gives us a sum of money. As for the change in farming, the grain yield will be reduced a lot in the winter, but this time we have made an exception, under the compensation of the Lord God, we have obtained a great harvest, but it will not be in the future, the harvest of cultivation depends on the sky, and we can only do our best. Huang Shi added.

Lu Shuang has a certain understanding of the general financial revenue and expenditure of the territory, at present, the operation of the territory is mainly based on agricultural taxes and commercial taxes, and there is a surplus of 15%, if it is placed in a real company, 8% of the profit is enough to make the capital crazy, but Lu Shuang has 15% in the game, and the number is still a lot, and the concept is a profit of 1 billion RMB a month. Of course, this money is not Lu Shuang's private money, in order for the territory to maintain this speed of development, he will continue to invest this money.

Lu Shuang often hears the news of the fiscal deficit in the news, or in the government work report, sometimes the government will invest a lot in the construction of infrastructure and other people's livelihood, which seems to be a huge amount, but in fact it has a great impact on the economy. 2k reading web
