When the states began to publicize the list, the reaction of the people in the world was far beyond Qin Zhao's imagination.

After all, he still underestimated the importance that ordinary people attached to farm property.

In this era, for ordinary people, having a piece of land of their own is almost the same as having a real estate certificate in a previous life.

It's the foundation of the foundation.

As a result, these people have a deep aversion to land buying and selling, and they are quite sensitive to policy.

Not only the largest number of ordinary homesteaders, but also the happiest people are those who have no land.

In the past, even if you didn't have farmland, you had to work as a tenant to farm and work for others in order to pay taxes.

After all, you have to take higher risks when you do other things, and the money you earn also needs to be exchanged for food to pay taxes. It's not cost-effective to come and go like this.

Moreover, there is never a day to come out.

But now that His Majesty has promulgated a new policy and abolished the taxes of the proletarian and landless, it is tantamount to liberating them from this vicious circle, and my heart is naturally grateful.

Therefore, when someone who came to the city brought back the news, the tenants and farmers who lived together were a little incredulous.

"No land, no taxes?! How is this possible, Lao Hu, you heard it wrong! ”

"I'm not deaf." Lao Hu rolled his eyes, "Besides, after the official Zhang Bang was announced, I confirmed it with others, and it was true." ”

He didn't believe it at first.

The reason is simple, regardless of whether you are rich or poor, the tax is the same, and this is a centuries-old tradition.

Habits are terrible things, and few people find anything wrong or unreasonable about them.

As for the history going back further, they don't know.

The early life of the ancestors can only be glimpsed from the songs and stories that have been handed down for countless years.

Because the writing was not perfected in ancient times, it has long been unrecognizable since its evolution.

Even the old scholars who studied the ancient rites could not figure it all out.

Not to mention the poor peasants who couldn't read a few of these big characters.

Of course, for them, being able to eat and drink enough is already a complete life. If you have a piece of land that belongs to you, it is a beautiful scenery that can only be seen in a dream.

Sure enough, as Lao Hu confirmed the accuracy of the news, a young man immediately said excitedly: "In this way, I have every chance to get a piece of my own land." ”

Then he said to himself as if to cheer himself up, "As long as you work hard and save money, there will be this day!" ”

"Well, Xiao Meng is still young, work hard, maybe he can ask for a daughter-in-law." As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.

There is a jovial vibe in the farmhouse.

At this time, Lao Hu suddenly hesitated and said: "By the way, the taxes on the landlords have also changed, it seems to have increased a lot, and I vaguely heard someone talking about this matter." ”

Hearing this, many other people immediately applauded, "I have long seen that those people are not pleasing to the eye!" ”

"yes, yes! That's a great thing! ”

The tone was full of joy and excitement, as if it was more pleasing to raise taxes on the landlord than not to collect his taxes.

"I don't know what you're happy about." A lazy voice interjected, "The landlords have to pay too much tax, and in the end they don't want to increase the rent for us, do you think those landlords are doing good deeds?" ”

The person who spoke was lying on the bed, listening silently until now, but not participating in the discussion.

At this time, it also looked like he hadn't woken up.

"Huh?" The others were stunned when they heard this, and then they said, "Yes, in this way, I'm afraid we will have to find another livelihood." ”

His expression suddenly became worried.

"No, no, no, Lao Yu, you're wrong." Lao Hu smiled proudly, "I just forgot to tell you that Your Majesty has an order that the tenant rent cannot exceed three or five percent." ”

"Huh?" Before the others could react, an old spirit rolled over and sat up, "Wait...... Let me think about ......"

Seeing this, the others couldn't help but lower their voices, waiting for him to continue his analysis.

It can be seen that this old man has some prestige among these people.

"Your Majesty has imposed heavy taxes on landlords and restricted tenant rents, which is to restrict them from annexing land. In this way, it is a burden to have too much land, and you may be able to sell some of your land. He muttered to himself.

I don't know what "land annexation" means, but it sounds like it makes sense.

For a while, everyone echoed in unison.

"Is that so? It's true that you've read books, but you still know a lot when you're old. ”

Having said that, there is also a bit of good-natured ridicule in the tone.

After all, in this era, I was born in the court, and there is no way to become an official after studying, which is really meaningless.

In the end, I still mingled with them, rented land and farmed, and was destitute.

"Heh, what's the use of reading a book, it's better to use a thin field to be comfortable." Old than laughing at himself, he didn't take it seriously.

"Anyway, get ready, if you move quickly, you may be able to buy some land at a low price."

At this time, whether it is Lao Yu or other farmers, they still don't know, and they can't imagine that he will soon have the opportunity to compete fairly with others and embark on a career in office.

In fact, these ordinary people are not all ignorant or idle.

Many of them have been forced by the environment to get to where they are today, and what they lack is just a chance to turn around.

On the other hand, there is the discontent of the landlords.

Not far from here, there is a big family with hundreds of acres of fertile land, which can be called a wealthy gentry.

Yuan Ping, the head of the family who learned the news, slammed the tea cup on the ground, and cursed viciously in the sound of debris splashing:

"According to this algorithm, we have to pay 20% tax on the extra land, which is too ruthless. I heard that the current Hubu Shangshu was originally born as a servant, and this kind of person is really the most wolf-hearted! ”

These people knew that the imperial power was terrifying, and they did not dare to complain about Emperor Xia, so they could only vent their grievances on the household department responsible for paying taxes.

I have to say that this is the merit of forming six ministries, perfecting the civil and official group, and expanding the number of civil servants.

The lower classes of the people who received the benefits sang the praises of the great achievements of the Holy Emperor. And those whose interests have been violated are complaining that the officials do not know the severity.

This is the case with "the saints rule the officials but not the people".

However, according to the population statistics of the household department, the largest proportion of the current Daxia is the lower middle peasants. That is, a farmer who owns his own land, but has little output left after paying taxes other than to meet the needs of the family.

These people also benefited the most from the new deal.

They were followed by the rich peasants and the poor peasants, and then the common people and ordinary landlords who had no land.

So on the whole, there are still very few voices of dissatisfaction.
