Chapter 169: Recruitment Order

Zhao Kuo thought of the Tang Dynasty's two tax laws, as well as Zhang Juzheng's "One Whip Law", and finally the Qing Dynasty's "Spread Ding into Mu."

These systems are essentially the same as the current system of Zhao State, which is to "give up people and tax land," and improve them step by step as a whole.

However, these systems were not suitable for use in the Zhao state.

For example, the ding tax will be apportioned into the mu, and the ding tax will be evenly apportioned into the field tax, and the state will set a fixed amount to collect the land and silver in a unified manner.

However, the farmland of Zhao is divided into upper field, middle field, and lower field, and the upper field can be harvested twice a year, and the lower field has to be rotated for one crop a year, and the yield per mu is several times different.

It is also impossible to divide Ueda, Nakata, and Shimoda equally among everyone.

Moreover, after a long time of apportionment into the mu, all the upper fields will be concentrated in the hands of the nobles and gentry, while the ordinary people will only have the lower fields in their hands, or even no fields.

The Manchu system was only to ensure that they could receive full taxes, and the rest was completely ignored.

Zhao Kuo couldn't do that.

And Zhao also has a specialty that the Qing Dynasty did not have: the ranger.

Originally, there were oral endowments and agricultural taxes, but these guys didn't farm, and they were chivalrous everywhere every day.

If the oral tax is canceled and apportioned to the agricultural tax, and the ranger is light, then he still has to do it? Isn't the street full of rangers like Liu Bang who have nothing to do all day?

Which monarch can stand it?

Zhao Kuo would not be like Shang Ying, who would tie the people firmly to the land and be unable to move, let alone expand the number of rangers to influence the rule of the country.

"This king suddenly thought of the tax system of my Zhao Kingdom. For a long time, the tax system of my Zhao State has been to collect taxes according to the land, but everyone knows the disadvantages of this system, and the tax system of the Qin State is obviously more advanced than the tax system of our country......" Zhao Kuo said the system of Shang Ying.

"The king is going to change the tax system?" Everyone put down their pens and looked at Zhao Kuo solemnly, this is a big deal.

Agricultural taxes are the country's main source of finance, and any change will have a huge impact on the country, whether it is a strong country or a country that is rapidly declining.

Any country will reform with prudence and prudence, and will never reform even as a last resort.

"That's why Wei Ying's tax system was changed."

Wei Qi suddenly realized that he had always felt that Shang Ying's tax system was very stupid and extremely inhumane, and it turned out that he was still far from Shang Ying.

The tax system of the Shang Dynasty was theoretically backward, but in combination with the actual situation of the Qin State, the system of the Shang Dynasty was the most advanced.

The reason why the Qin State is so powerful is due to Shang Ying's contributions.

"Since the system of Shang Yang is good, it is better for us to change to the system of Shang Marting, as for the disadvantages, it will be a matter of hundreds of years, and we will find a way in the future."

Ju Xin said that he was not averse to the reform of the law, and when he was in Yan Kingdom before, he also assisted the reform of King Yan Zhao.

"However, the system of Shang Yang is very unfavorable to the displaced people and other practitioners who have little and no land, and it is not applicable to our country." Yu Xin shook his head.

According to the Shang Dynasty system, merchants and rangers still had to pay agricultural taxes even if they did not have land.

In addition to this, merchants were subject to commercial taxes and heavier labor.

This is unreasonable, but the purpose of the Shang Dynasty is to tie everyone to the farmland, reduce the number of non-productive producers such as ranger merchants, and encourage the common people to get more land to fight the enemy.

This is also why they also live under the same roof, there are many merchants and rangers in the six eastern countries, but there are very few merchants and rangers in the Qin country, and they really can't get along in the Qin country.

However, Zhao Guo is different.

The agriculture of the Zhao State was underdeveloped, but the handicraft industry and commerce were developed, and the big merchants in the country abounded, the Zhuo family, the Guo family......

Commercial tax is also an important source of income for Zhao State, if it is as heavy on agriculture and suppressing business as Shang Ying, half of Zhao's life will be gone.

Zhao Guo can only value agriculture and business, and he can't lose any of them.

"Wait a minute, there are several other systems, everyone listen to them." Zhao Kuo clapped his palms and interrupted everyone's conversation. Then he talked about the two taxation system of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng's "One Whip Law" and the Qing Dynasty's apportionment into the mu, and then asked, "Which system do you think is suitable for our country?"

"It doesn't fit well." Lin Xiangru said with a frown.

These systems are theoretically very good, but once they are implemented, they are not the same thing, and they do not conform to the national conditions of Zhao.

"The two tax systems that the king just mentioned, one of them is to levy different taxes according to Ueda, Nakata, and Shimoda, and the amount of taxes is issued by the state, not according to the annual output as it is now, maybe we can try this." Yu Xin thought about it for a while and felt that only this system was suitable for the current Zhao State.

"How can you ensure that the officials below will not levy more or less? What if there is a disaster year?" Wei Qi asked rhetorically.

"It is possible to analyze whether officials have lied about the yield per acre and total output in each region in recent years, as well as the yield per acre and total output in several nearby areas. In addition, the number of acres of upper field, middle field, and lower field is recounted every five years to calculate the corresponding tax, and the places with large differences in values are thoroughly investigated. At the same time, the year is divided into good years, ordinary years and disaster years, and different taxes are charged for different years." Yu Xin said.

In this case, unless everyone goes crazy and unites against the imperial court, there will not be much of a problem.

"Then what if an official gentry goes down to the field for the upper field, and the upper field replaces the lower field?" Lin Xiangru asked.

The world is crowded for profit, don't look down on the discipline of people in this era, even Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, has evaded taxes, you can imagine what other officials are like.

There will definitely be gentry who will report their Ueda as Shimoda in order to reduce taxes. At the same time, in order to prevent being discovered from above, other people's fields will be reported as fields, the total amount will remain unchanged, and the yield per mu will not change, and the state will not be able to find it at all.

"Changing places to become officials, local officials are prohibited from being local officials, and it is forbidden to buy land in the jurisdiction under their jurisdiction. Neighboring townships and counties supervise each other." Zhao Kuo thought of the ancient system of changing places and becoming officials, and said.

"It works." Lin Xiangru nodded.

Although this method cannot completely solve the problem of tax evasion, it can greatly reduce the occurrence of such cases.

This is already very good, Lin Xiangru does not expect to solve it completely, this is unrealistic, after all, Zhao State's taxing ability is limited there.

"Then we will send people to re-measure the land of the whole country, and organize the people together." Tian Dan said.

"It is necessary to re-measure the land and organize the people together. Many people have been displaced due to the previous war, but now that the country is stable, it is necessary to recompile these people, including the previously hidden population and the recent increase in the population of Hejian County, Jixi County, Ye County, and Tao County." Zhao Kuo said.

After Taoyi was defeated, Zhao Kuo, like the historical Qin state, established Taojun there, but there were only three cities.

"I'll leave this matter to Du Pingjun and Wei Qing." Zhao Kuo said to Tian Dan and Wei Qi.

One of the two has been the Xiangguo of Qi and Zhao, and the other has been the Xiangguo of Wei, and they are no strangers to this kind of thing.

In order to better collect taxes and labor, and also to make it easier to manage, the countries of the Central Plains have long organized households and implemented the "household registration" system, that is, every five households are organized into a team and guarantee each other.

This system was first implemented in the Three Jin Dynasty, and the Qin State also implemented this system in the tenth year of Qin Xiangong, and later the Shang Dynasty was more ruthless, and in order for the people to escape, a joint sitting system was added to it, that is, "Shiwu Lian Sitting Law."

If one person is guilty, all will ascend to heaven.

"No." Tian Dan and Wei Qi arched their hands and said.

"King, my Zhao country has been in war in recent years, the country is poor and the people are hungry, and the people have vegetables, and the minister suggests that a certain amount of tax should be reduced." Lin Xiangru arched his hand and said.

"Then let's levy half a tax this year." Zhao Kuo nodded.

Yu Xin sighed, the tax on summer grain, which was already small, is now directly reduced by half, and even in some places, the tax is not enough for the loss on the road, so he can only stay in the local area and wait for the autumn grain to be sent over.

"Anything else?" Zhao Kuo looked left and right and asked casually.

"Your Majesty, it's time to issue a recruitment order." Wei Qi slowly got up, walked to the center of the hall, leaned down, and said solemnly.

As early as a few months ago, Zhao Kuo had said that he had issued a recruitment order, but was blocked by Wei Qi and thought that the time had not come.

Now that Zhao Kuo has returned with a big victory, it has come to the best time to issue a recruitment order.

"Command, the King." Yu Xin, Lin Xiangru and others stood up and said in unison.

At the beginning of May of the first year of Zhao Wangkuo, Zhao Wangkuo issued a recruitment order to the world.

Recruit talents, regardless of background, only talent.

Since Qin Xiaogong and King Yan Zhao, the third volume of the recruitment order has come out!

Zhao Kuo directly sent Zhao Feiqi to post notices, within the scope of Zhao State, all places should be posted, outside the scope of Zhao State, ten pieces should be posted in each big city, and three sheets should be posted in each small city.

In just half a month, the recruitment order was spread to all corners of the world.

Along with the recruitment order, it was the paper used to write the recruitment order.

All people of insight can see that paper is a more advanced and more suitable text carrier than bamboo slips, which is convenient to write and easy to carry.

Whether they were interested in the recruitment order or interested in paper, they packed their bags and rushed to Zhao State.

Zhao Kuo also set up recruitment halls all over the country, as long as they were literate, they could ask the officials in the hall to send them to Handan, and all the expenses along the way were borne by Zhao Guo.

It doesn't matter if you can't read, as long as you prove that you have a skill, you can also enjoy this treatment.

……

In the Wei Kingdom, in the east of Daliang City, three thatched houses stood in the field, and an old farmer worked hard in the field, sweat sliding down his cheeks.

"The plough invented by Zhao Guo is really easy to use, and the speed of plowing the land is much faster than before." The old farmer glanced back at the renovated land, and could barely see the end.

In the past, it took two people to plough so much land in one day, but now he can plough it in half a day, and he ploughs it even deeper.

"Father, father."

At this moment, a young man shouted and rushed towards Tanaka. I don't know what to hold in my hand, one foot is wearing straw sandals, and the other is barefoot.

"What kind of system is panic? Have you forgotten all the etiquette you were taught?" When the old farmer saw his son's current appearance, he immediately became angry, raised the whip in his hand and was about to hit his son on the back.

"Father, don't hit me, look at what I've got in my hand." The young man held back the whip and shoved his things into the old peasant's hands.

"Recruiting Order!"

When the old farmer opened it, he was taken aback, his hands trembled, and he pulled his beard off without feeling any pain, and muttered, "After a long time, has anyone finally done this again?"

"Father, King Wei doesn't reuse you, let's go to Zhao Kingdom." The young man said excitedly.

"No more. Go home and pack your things and go to Zhao Kingdom." The old peasant threw the bullwhip on the ground and walked towards the thatched hut with a curse.

Why did he live in seclusion next to Daliang, didn't he hope that one day King Wei would change his mind and reuse him.

If you really didn't want to be an official, you would have hid in the mountains and old forests a long time ago.

Now King Wei didn't wait, but he waited for a more virtuous and younger King Zhao!

"It's a good thing, it's better for writing than bamboo slips. If Zhao Guo can use it to post notices, it will definitely be ready for mass production, and after arriving in Zhao Kingdom, he must ask the king more." The old farmer stroked the paper and muttered to himself.

The young man watched speechlessly as his unreliable father walked away, sighed, bent down to pick up the plow, and led the oxen towards home.

……

Yan country, Gangcheng city.

"Master, get out of the car and take a look." The coachman stopped suddenly.

"Bumped into someone again? I've asked you to drive slower a long time ago, it's the third time this month, how much money Lao Tzu has is not enough for you to compensate, and next time, Lao Tzu will sell you."

A hoarse voice came from the car, and then an extremely ugly man slowly stepped out of it.

"No, master, look at the wall." The coachman hurriedly pointed to the notice on the wall.

The ugly man squinted at the notice on the wall, and then his eyes opened wider and wider, and the whole person looked even uglier.

"Recruitment Order! Defeat Zhao Kuo of my Yan Kingdom!" The ugly man said in shock.

In the entire Yan Kingdom, some people don't know the name of the monarch, but no one doesn't know Zhao Kuo's name, because so far, there are still 200,000 strong men left in the Yan Kingdom in the Zhao Kingdom.

Among these people are their sons, their husbands, their relatives and friends.

"Sir is Cai Ze." At this moment, an old man with a white beard stepped forward and paused.

"It's Cai Ze below, I don't know who the old gentleman is?" Cai Ze looked at the old man in front of him, and couldn't remember when he met the other party.

"Old man Tang Ju." The old man stroked his beard and said.

"Xiangshi Tang Ju!" Cai Ze exclaimed.

"Yes, of course." The old man nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with Cai Ze's reaction.

"I've heard that Mr. once met with Li Dui, saying that he "can control the power of the country within 100 days", is there such a thing?" Cai Ze hurriedly asked.

"Yes." Tang Ju nodded.

"What will happen to people like me?" Cai Ze gave a salute, stroked his ugly cheek, and asked confidently.

"Your nose is upturned, your shoulders are high, your forehead is protruding, the bridge of your nose is sunken, and your legs are looped legs. I've heard that saints don't lie in appearance, so that's probably what I'm talking about you!" Tang Ju looked at Cai Ze seriously and said with a smile.

The meaning is that although Cai Ze is ugly, he has the qualifications of a saint.

Cai Ze understood that Tang Ju was joking with him, so he didn't get angry, and asked, "I already have wealth, what I don't know is my lifespan, can you tell me?"

"You've got forty-three days to live." Tang Ju said.

"To be able to carry a gold seal and purple ribbon, to be courteous to the monarch, and to be rich for forty-three years is enough!" Cai Ze said with satisfaction.

Tang Ju smiled silently.

"Where do you think the old gentleman should wait for me to go later?" Cai Ze leaned over and asked solemnly.

"South."

"Okay, then I'll listen to the old gentleman." Cai Ze boarded the carriage and said loudly.

"Go all the way south, when the horse dies of exhaustion, when it stops."

……

Chu State, Shang Cai.

Li Si looked at the rats in the granary and ate the corn hoarded in the granary with dignity, even if people came, he would not hide from it.

I also think that the rats in the toilet eat unclean things, and whenever someone or a dog approaches, they will be frightened and run away.

I couldn't help but sigh and said, "Whether a person has talent or not, just like these mice, is determined by the environment in which he lives!"

After speaking, Li Si took off his official robe, threw it on the eucalyptus platform, and turned his head to walk outside.

"Lis, what are you doing here? Do you want to do it anymore?" The boss hurriedly stopped him and scolded.

Nima complains all day long that Huaicai doesn't meet, and now he dares to make a face with himself, if it weren't for your father's face, Lao Tzu would have kicked you out.

"Just a little official, don't do it."
