Liu Bei clearly pointed out that the former officials, officials, and powerful landlords used various connections to evade the Dutian orders since Emperor Guangwu, concealing the number of land and property and the number of slaves, so as to avoid taxes, so that the taxes of the imperial court were greatly reduced.

The imperial court could not obtain the due taxes, so it had to increase the exploitation of the common people, and resort to all kinds of off-the-counter tricks to obtain revenue, so that the heavens and the people were angry.

This situation could not continue in the Third Reich, and the exact taxation of the richest people in the entire Han Empire was a matter that the imperial court had to complete in the next period of time.

Dutian is not only to determine the land, but also to determine the tax, whoever opposes the imperial court in this regard, must be prepared to lose his head.

In addition to this provision, the most important provision of the Tsukita Act is to establish the principle of granting land after the success of the Tsutoda.

However, this regulation is not one-size-fits-all, and there are different rules in different regions.

For example, the Dutian Decree stipulates that counties with a total population of more than 100,000 can own as much land per person, counties with a total population of more than 200,000 can own as much land as each person, and counties with a population of less than 100,000 can own as much land.

The only constant is that because of the stronger labor force, the male can own twice as much land as the female child.

All in all, the main purpose of this regulation is to determine that the per capita amount of land in densely populated areas will be more restrictive, while in sparsely populated undeveloped areas, the per capita amount of land ownership can be greatly increased.

Including Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou and Jiaozhou.

For example, in the most remote areas of Jiaozhou Ninan County and Youzhou Lelang County, each young man can legally own 1,000 acres of land, and each young woman can legally own 500 acres of land.

In the same situation, in the core areas of the Central Plains such as Yingchuan County, Runan County, and Peiguo, each male can only legally own 200 mu of land, and the female can legally own 100 mu of land.

There is also an additional clause attached to this rule.

That is, among the [remote prefectures and counties] stipulated by the law, foreigners are allowed to use them as slaves for agricultural production, whether private or official, and there is no upper limit on the number.

Each foreign slave only needs to pay a quarter of the poll tax of the Han slave to the imperial court and register it, and leave the rest to the slave owner, and the imperial court does not interfere with it.

Of course, if these foreign slaves are not managed well and there is chaos, whether the court should seriously hold them accountable, or implement the concept of a slave making mistakes and holding the master accountable.

And in the entire Dutian Decree, the number of remote prefectures and counties stipulated by the imperial court is really quite a lot.

The concept of remote counties is divided into remote states and remote counties.

Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, and Yizhou all belong to remote states.

Residents of remote states can own a higher amount of land than residents of inland states, which is generally two to three times as much according to population estimates.

Among the remote states, there are also remote counties, which generally have more land than other counties in the remote states.

Dunhuang County, Jiuquan County, Zhangye County, Jincheng County, Wuwei County, Beidi County, Longxi County, Zhangye Subject State, Zhangye Juyan Subject State, these seven counties and two subject states all belong to [remote counties].

Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Yanmen County, and Shang County in the prefecture also belong to remote counties.

Youzhou's Dai County, Shanggu County, Yuyang County, Youbeiping County, Liaoxi County, Liaodong County, Xuansu County, and Lelang County also belong to remote counties.

Yongchang County, Yizhou County, Qiqi County, Yuewang County, and Qianwei of Yizhou are also remote counties.

Huiji County in Yangzhou is a remote county.

Yulin County, Jiaozhi County, Jiuzhen County, Rinan County, Hepu County, Cangwu County, Nanhai County, and Zhuyazhou in Jiaozhou are all remote counties.

These places were all designated as remote prefectures and counties by the imperial court, and the amount of land that could be held here was quite different from that of the Central Plains.

This method is not only to equalize land rights and complete the redistribution of land wealth, but also to increase the land reserve in the hands of the government, leaving room for land distribution in the possible future outbreak of the baby boom.

On the other hand, it is also to further stimulate the transfer of population to remote states and counties.

If one could not tolerate the stricter division of land in the Central Plains, they could go to the outlying areas, where a family of five would receive as much land as a medium-sized landlord in the Central Plains.

In addition, the imperial court would also give preferential treatment and support in the areas of agricultural livestock, farm tools, seeds, housing, and taxes, and promised medical support.

As long as you are willing to go, the court will go with you, the court will accompany you to reclaim, and do your best to protect your life, you just need to work hard, turn the wasteland into your own arable land, and work hard for one or two generations, and future generations will be blessed.

During this period, if the local people and savages in remote areas may cause rebellion, the imperial court will use the army to exterminate them all, and the imperial court will use military force to ensure the safety of their production and life, and will never deceive people into doing nothing.

The imperial court will contribute money and people.

This is a compensation method set up by Liu Bei for the whole world, mainly for families with a large number of land and clansmen.

After paying a large amount of taxes and giving up a large amount of land, they can choose to send their clansmen south to settle in Jiangnan to obtain a large amount of land to make up for their losses.

It's a bit hardcore, but it's at least a way to compensate.

Whether there is or not, and whether it is hard or not, those are two different things.

This can not only divide and soften the antagonism of a group of large families who are not very willing to oppose the imperial court, but also further screen out the real diehards, and at the same time, further obtain a group of people who are willing to go to remote areas to open up.

Although Liu Bei also had plans to expand the southward with a large number of migrants later, it was obviously very good to be able to transfer a group of people to these remote prefectures and counties through the Dutian Decree.

Of course, this requires Liu Bei to equip these remote prefectures and counties with a relatively complete government and living system, and must control the local administration and military in a certain sense, otherwise it is not enough to create a relatively peaceful and stable production environment.

In this regard, Liu Bei has made some gestures that can be used as symbolic meanings.

For example, in order to collect the income of Ilnan County and Xianglin County, he sent an army to Rinnan County to quell the rebellion.

This was unimaginable to the government and the opposition before.

Is it also worth the emperor to send a battalion of troops to quell the rebellion?

Liu Bei did this, not only to quell the rebellion and regain the lost territory, but also to express his attitude to the whole world - you don't have to worry about anyone hurting you when you go to remote places, if so, the Han army will be your solid backing.

The army of the Han is everywhere, even if it is Rinan County at the end of the world, the army of the Han will gallop in, and the enemy who will attack will be defeated fiercely, leaving no one behind.

The safety of your land and life will be protected by the Han army.

This statement is of great significance and will have a significant impact on the entire process of resettlement development.

However, the impact of the Dutian Decree on the world is obviously not so simple and direct.

In the first stage, Liu Bei announced that the Dutian Decree would be fully implemented in the area north of the Yangtze River, and the governors of all prefectures and counties in the north of the Yangtze River immediately began to check all the land and population under their jurisdiction and carry out a comprehensive land measurement operation.

All work should be put aside for the time being, and in addition to the necessary work, all officials and officials should fully devote themselves to the land measurement and population inventory action, and the households throughout the country should also fully cooperate with the government's land measurement and population inventory action, and there should be no confrontation.

The 160,000 officials and officials of the Han Dynasty should set an example by supporting the imperial court's decree on Dutian, taking the initiative to accept Dutian, accepting the examination of family property by relevant departments, and registering tax-paying land.

Start with yourself, and then ask others.

For this reason, Liu Bei, as the emperor, was the first to explain the land wealth he owned and the population and land scale of the Liu family in Zhuo County, as an example for the world.

And at this time, Liu Bei also made a decision that surprised the world and can be called against his ancestors.

He decided to let the royal family obtain the land according to the latest land grant rules, and sell all the land that originally belonged to Liu Bei to the government at the market price.

He didn't want it.

Because Zhuo County does not belong to the category of remote counties, but belongs to remote prefectures, and then calculated according to the size of Zhuo County's population of 700,000, Zhuo County's non-official civilian young men can have 130 acres of land, and civilian non-official young and strong women can have 65 acres of land.

Liu Bei's family itself has a male master Liu Bei and a female hostess Han Ning, as well as the remaining eight concubines, that is, a young and strong man and nine young and strong women, and the rest of the children are all under the age of fourteen, not Dingkou.

The emperor and empress have no official rank, so they are regarded as being on the same list as the commoners, so the amount of land that Liu Bei's family can hold in the ancestral land of Youzhou is currently 715 mu.

The amount of land and property owned by Liu Bei in Youzhou was 36,376 mu.

So he announced that all but the 715 acres of land he had kept would be sold to the government for later distribution, and then he asked the government to register the amount of land to be taxed for himself in the coming year.

As the emperor, he had to take the lead in raising taxes, abiding by the laws and regulations of the imperial court, and leading by example.

At the same time, Liu Bei also demanded that the vast majority of the 260,000 mu of land owned by the Liu family in Zhuo County, Zhuo County, also be sold to the government, and the clansmen should complete the sale within a time limit for public use, waiting for further land grant and tax registration.

To be honest, when Liu Bei was an official, he never purchased land for himself in the local area.

But what he didn't know was that in his hometown of Zhuo County, Zhuo County, although the clansmen no longer do business, they bought a lot of land, not just their own land, and Liu Bo, his uncle Liu Bo, who helped Liu Bei take care of his ancestral property, also continued to help Liu Bei buy land and enrich his wealth over the years.

When Liu Bei left Youzhou, his family's land was only two or three thousand mu, and after these years, the number of fields directly increased by more than ten times, reaching a more terrifying number, and at the same time, the land quota of the Liu family in Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Zhuo County, also exceeded 260,000 mu.

The last time Liu Bei returned to his hometown, he asked the clansmen to cultivate and read heirlooms, not to engage in business and other things, and wanted them to be honest, plough the fields, study and be a man, and save him snacks, but he didn't expect that these people could also make flowers if they were engaged in farming and reading heirlooms.

Not only did he buy the land himself, but also the initiative of some people who wanted to please Liu Bei, and the family land assets were like a snowball.

And during the implementation of the slave restriction order, because of the royal family, although Liu Bei did not give any clansmen a marquis and an official, he still received special treatment.

Liu Bei was very angry, and ordered the family to liquidate the family property very early, without the slightest concealment, otherwise even if it was his own family, he would never let it go, for this reason, he also sent Liu Hui back and asked him to lead troops to supervise the liquidation of assets in the clan, and then came up with accurate data.

There were quite a few complaints about this in the clan, but they did not dare to protest, for fear of angering Liu Bei and causing disaster, so they all cried bitterly in front of Liu Hui, trying to cry miserably, in exchange for Liu Hui's sympathy.

But Liu Hui didn't have any intention of hiding it for the family, and he didn't feel sympathy at all.

Just kidding, when he was a child, he was bullied by the evil boys in the clan, if it wasn't for Liu Bei to help him, he didn't know how gloomy his childhood would be, and he has always been haunted by the things of the year in his heart, and he has never let go.

Now that he has this opportunity that is close to revenge, he can't be happier when he looks at the few people who have bullied him and lowers his eyebrows in front of him.

These people have never had a good relationship with him and Liu Bei, and Liu Bei did not contribute a penny of funding during the entrepreneurial stage, but he got so much land by relying on Liu Bei's prestige, if you want to say that it is shameless, it is shameless enough.

In this case, Liu Hui wants these people to spit out all the things that don't belong to them.

Like Liu Bei, Liu Hui didn't have much family concept because he was bullied since he was a child, and although his father Liu Bo had some ideas and persuaded him, it was useless.

And if you really want to talk about it, Dutian's decree wants to open the knife to the people of the world, which is a very hateful thing, but if you cut yourself first, to show that you are no different from normal people and abide by the rules, then at least nominally it will sound much better and it will be tenable.

At least no one will say that they have double standards, at most they will only say that they don't recognize their six relatives and are cold-blooded and ruthless.

By the way, Liu Bei announced that he had dismissed the county guard of Zhuo County, and replaced a young man with very little qualifications but a good reputation to serve as the county guard of Zhuo County, and asked him to first take the Liu family to open the knife, so as to correct the public and spread the world.

Lao Tzu is really!

Just ask you if you're afraid!

As Liu Bei's public declaration spread throughout the imperial court, people in the core decision-making circle also stood up one after another, made public the results that had been achieved long ago, and announced that they would always follow in Liu Bei's footsteps, strictly abide by the requirements of the Dutian Order, and accept the Dutian of the imperial court.

They will pay taxes in strict accordance with the regulations, never evade taxes, and never hold Liu Bei back.

Han Rong, Cao Cao, Zhen Yan, Yan Wen, Yan Zhong, Gai Xun, Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Guo Yuan, Ruan Yu, Xun You, Gao Shun, Liu Yong, Pang De, Dong Huang......

And so on, a series of political and military bigwigs, one by one familiar names, they all put on the table, saying that they will strictly abide by the Dutian order, resolutely obey the requirements of the Dutian order, pay taxes, and never be embarrassed by the imperial court.

Even some families who own too much land have announced that they will sell part of their land to the government to solve the problem of paying too much tax, just like the Liu family in Zhuo County.

For example, Cao Cao made the above table public, disclosing the sale of more than 100,000 mu of land by the Cao family to the government, so as to reduce the amount of tax paid.

The Zhen family and the Xiahou family also went to the table one after another, disclosing their family's movements, and the three families were tied together to sell a total of more than 200,000 mu of land to the imperial court.

As they issued declarations one after another, selling land to the government, the government and the opposition collectively shook, and the entire city of Luoyang also shook.

Some petty officials who didn't know much about this matter were shocked, and they thought that the high-ranking officials and dignitaries had taken the wrong medicine, and they became saints in an instant.

Why did you obey the Dutian order so much?

Why does the upper echelons of the imperial court seem to have reached an unanimous concept like never before?

However, those who have heard a little about this matter and know some inside information, such as some officials in the cabinet who have a lot to do with the decision-making power at the top, have a different view on this matter.

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao followed closely outside the top power circle, and told Liu Bei that they would also follow Liu Bei's footsteps, must abide by the requirements of the Dutian Order, and would also sell part of the family land to the government to reduce the amount of taxes paid, which was better than many cabinet officials.

However, in private, these two people also have a lot of slander against the core power circle.

On a day off after the above table, the two got together to drink and chat, and chatted about the matter of the Dutian Decree, and they talked about the family's arrangements and preparations, as well as some interesting rumors recently.

"Different degrees, I heard that Liu Jingsheng brought his second son with him when he went to Jiaozhou to take office, and planned to leave the eldest son in the ancestral industry, and the second son went to Jiaozhou to develop new industries.
