Chapter 879: Turmoil, Migration
"The government is going to raise taxes, because township schools have been established in various places, and the imperial court is ready to levy a 'township school tax'."
"Where did you get this news from? Doesn't it mean that in the future, there will only be an agricultural tax of the eleventh, and all other taxes and labor will be abolished? ”
"The grandson of my brother-in-law's second uncle and grandfather's third uncle works in the Li family in the city, and I can't be wrong when I listen to what the Li family said in private." A middle-aged man deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being discovered by others, and then said: "You don't want to think about it, why does the government say that there are so many needs for opening a township school, establishing so many books, and having a professor's gentleman, which all needs money, do you really think that the hundreds of dollars are enough to open the school?" ”
"If there is no tax, where will the money come from to do this?"
The old farmer with a hoe on his back looked a little panicked and said: "This, this, isn't this a good ten tax, why do you still say that the change will change, this year's land rent has risen to ten taxes and four, if the court raises taxes again, then, then, this day can't be lived." ”
"Reducing it to ten taxes, that's just buying people's hearts, now it's too peaceful, it's natural to raise taxes, which time is not the case, I think that, there may be some taxes in the future."
The above kind of dialogue, almost in Jizhou and even the entire Liu Bei's rule, staged everywhere, the family used them to penetrate into the most basic influence, in every township, every pavilion began to spread similar remarks, for a time, the entire Liu Bei's rule of the undercurrent surged, the people's heart seems to have become a volcano about to erupt, may erupt at any time, Liu Bei's entire power in one fell swoop.
……
Jizhou, Yecheng.
"Zaizhi, now that public opinion at the grassroots level is completely out of control, what should we do?" Lu Su looked at Wang Xuan with a serious expression, his face was ugly.
"What's going on in the city?" Wang Xuan fanned the folding fan in his hand, and did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
"The situation in the cities is relatively stable, and our intelligence department is rooted in the grassroots, and it is almost impossible for this kind of talk to be instigated." Speaking of this, Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief, if the cities are not stable, then there will be no need to live.
"It's good if the cities aren't chaotic, and if it's local, there's nothing wrong with chaos." Wang Xuan closed the folding fan and patted it gently in the palm of his hand and said: "You are not messy, I am not messy, how to clear the big trouble in the abdomen, that is also a family that is bewitched behind the back, just like pus hidden under the skin, only when they bulge out, we can start to treat it." ”
"You, aren't you going to kill the killers, they're all ordinary people!!" Lu Su was taken aback by Wang Xuan's words, and looked at Wang Xuan with a somewhat expressional expression.
"You're sick in the head, am I the kind of person who kills!" Wang Xuan almost threw the fan in his hand out in anger and stoned Lu Su to death.
"It's good if it's not, it's good if it's not." Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and asked a little puzzled, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Immigration!" Wang Xuan smiled, "Family, in the end, there are not many people, the reason why they have such a great destructive power is still to rely on the control of the local population, if there are no people, I see what means they can come up with." ”
Within a few days, information was sent from all over the country one after another, and in Jizhou alone, there were more than 30 places that were making trouble at the same time, digging up roads, blocking imports and exports, and waving the banner of anti-taxation.
At the same time, Wang Xuan's order was transmitted to the garrisons in various places, 'No matter how big or small the crime is, the army will be stationed directly, some men, women, and children will be detained and sent to the designated place, and all the original houses will be demolished. ’
As the so-called military orders fall like a mountain, under Liu Bei's command, the implementation of military orders is extremely strict, fortunately, military discipline is strict, although there are inevitably some conflicts in the process, but they are all controlled within an acceptable range, and the relocation sites are all near the various factories that have been under construction recently.
During this time, in order to develop and build these areas of Hebei, coal mines, iron mines, iron and steel plants, cement factories and so on were built, relying on these factories, a number of new industrial-dominated cities will be built, and the newly occupied land is not like Qingzhou, almost all the population is under the control of the family, rooted in the land, for this reason, the construction of factories and cities has almost come to a standstill.
He was worried about what reason to levy the population, and now these families were inciting local troubles, and it happened that Wang Xuan used this as an excuse to start a redistribution of the population.
Don't look at the population under Liu Bei's rule now, there is about 13 million, if it is still at the level of science and technology of the Han Dynasty, then the population has little room to rise, but, under the progress of various science and technology, according to Wang Xuan's experience, it is not a problem at all that the north can accommodate 50 million people.
Of course, in order to ensure that these people have enough food to feed, the newly opened land and the development of the Liaodong Plain must be put on the agenda, and this series of development requires a lot of manpower.
……
"Those soldiers are forcibly relocating the people, how is this good?"
"Seeing that the autumn harvest is approaching, but the people have been forcibly moved, what should I do with this autumn harvest?"
"The autumn harvest is easy to say, it's a big deal to hire people to do it, but there are not enough tenants to farm the land in the back!"
"You don't have enough there, there is no one in a few villages on my side, there is no one, you understand!" (Broken sound)
In a manor, a group of people gathered together to make a noise, all with a panicked look on their faces, and the fat man who sat on the throne who was smiling and now had a sinking face, looked at the scene of the commotion, and his gloomy face was dripping.
"Bang!" The fat man slapped the table hard, and the people in the courtyard were startled, and then gradually quieted down.
"What is the noise, you are one by one, who has lost more than me!"
As soon as the fat man shouted like this, everyone remembered that their area was presided over by the Liu family, the Liu family had the most land, and the population that was relocated was also the largest.
was shouted by the fat man like this, inexplicably, many people felt a lot more comfortable in their hearts...... Look, there's a fool who's losing more than me!
The most important thing is that the Liu family is the presiding officer, and they must have been targeted by Liu Bei's people, if they still had a strong hope for the dismissal of officials and small-scale troubles, Liu Bei would be forced to compromise, and in the end, they would honestly cooperate with their family and expose this matter, then now......
As a large number of people were migrated away and filled in other places, according to the information they found, these populations were still not able to fill the gap, and now that damn Wang Xuan is still constantly transferring troops to move the population everywhere, and anyone who participated in the trouble this time, no matter who it was, would be forcibly moved.
So, compromise, there is no such thing as a compromise, wait for the autumn to settle the score!
