The common people, the wealthy family, the poor family, and the family are the main social classes of the Han people.

Some say they are divided according to power, some say they are divided according to wealth, some say they are divided according to knowledge, and the description is thin and difficult to see concretely.

As for the annexation of land, most of the disasters that harm the people are and the like, well, hehe, Liu Xiu said that he hadn't killed enough.

As far as Liu Cang sees now, the most intuitive thing that distinguishes them comes from taxes.

The social system of the Eastern Han Dynasty was still relatively complex.

Family, in fact, not all of today's families are rich, just like Cai Yong, he belongs to the family, and his hometown may have land, but it probably has nothing to do with wealth.

At the same time, if he regards Liu Cang as a family member and the outside world agrees, then Liu Cang operates some industries other than farming, and with his connections and face, he can largely make the official face not implement statistical taxation.

Thinking about this, many friends should also understand that the family has tax evasion methods, which is not explicit, but an unspoken rule formed in the social environment.

Nowadays, people attach importance to fame, even to the point of stubbornness. The origin of this is not an ethereal emotional morality.

A certain group of qualities, characteristics, especially ethics, will not be created out of nothing, and are often inextricably linked to current affairs and social rules.

The poor family is a down-and-out family, accumulated by ancestors, and there are many royal rewards for arable land in the family. However, those who have lost their fame in the clan have lost their connection with the contemporary fame, farming and paying grain, doing business and paying taxes, and checking the official face from time to time, but they are very rarely able to evade it.

The tax on the fields of the Eastern Han Dynasty was originally low, and no one dared to think about it under normal circumstances, which was the foundation of the country. Not to mention that the royal family is dissatisfied, it will even fall into fame.

In addition to the land tax, the people's head tax, breeding, handicrafts, business sales, servitude, including family property, etc., these miscellaneous taxes are very scary, but they can also do some trouble.

For example, if you raise a pig for the same time, and the family raises it, the official is likely to ignore it, raise too much, it is too conspicuous, and a hundred heads are counted as ten or twenty.

And when it comes to the cold door, one head is counted as one head, and a hundred heads are raised? For the sake of our many years of relationship, I will count you ninety. Eighty, no less.

In the Han Dynasty, cultivation and reclamation were encouraged, and the field tax was historically low, but the miscellaneous tax was very exaggerated and even fatal.

As the saying goes, after the field tax, the warehouse is full, and the miscellaneous tax is implemented and the people are in exile.

If you do things according to the rules, even if the people work hard, raise and farm, sell them by hand, eat, drink, and lazar, they will not have any money left in their hands.

More of the wealth of the Han family came from the land that was rewarded by their ancestors and did not need to be taxed, but it was obviously difficult to accumulate this wealth compared to the number of people in their clan.

Well, don't underestimate those throttling taxes, it's scary. (The plot will be covered later.) ）

Therefore, under the same conditions, the family will be richer than the poor family, and at the same time, more people are willing to have a relationship with the family, or even send the name to the family.

Because the family operates normally, it can make money and accumulate normally. And others do the same thing, food and clothing, no disaster.

The family's accumulation of wealth is not the exploitation and plundering of the township as imagined, it is looking for death. In the year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the reputation was lost, the eggs were not one, and the essence of the family was to share profits with the royal family.

In a nutshell, fame comes from the countryside. Give benefits to the people, and then be further praised and gain fame.

If you have fame, you will have fellowship with the famous, and if you have a good name in the world, you will have the qualification to share profits with the royal family. Sharing profits with the royal family, the essence of the division is the royal tax capital, so as to reduce the burden of miscellaneous taxes on the people in the township, that is, to take care of the township, and some people will spread its reputation. It's 'money'.

A closed loop that is not an abstract one is definitely not as indiscriminate as later generations understood, and it does not enter the stream.

Or this should also be the opening that the royal family opened for the family when the royal family ruled the world together, or it had to be opened.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Hong's method of greedy for money at the end of the Han Dynasty was so shameful by the world.

It's not that someone deliberately targets him, but that his methods are really disgraced by people today, except for himself, no one has benefited, and he is disgraced by all strata.

Having accumulated wealth through taxes, the family will not take out money and distribute it to the peasant people, but they will take responsibility for and cover up some of the taxes of the people in their hometowns.

At the same time, it can also develop the local area and build the hometown, which is the so-called taking care of the villagers, and it is also the accumulation and improvement of one's own wealth, prestige and strength.

Whether to bear or not to bear, and how much to bear, has led to the prosperity of the people in some places, the poverty of the people in some places, and the flight of the people in some places.

In the same way, the people's respect for the family is not nonsensical and mentally retarded. . .

After the poor family, there are the so-called wealthy families and big families. A group of social groups that have been transformed by Liu Xiu.

The biggest difference between them and the Hanmen is the availability of private land, and the difference between them and the common people is that there are large-scale business and sales activities in the family, that is, the financial route outside farming.

They are good at management, and they have laid out their own business networks to varying degrees, but all kinds of taxes should be paid, and the poll tax must be doubled if they buy a slave at home, recruit a tenant, etc.

Officials at the national and local levels like them. If you encounter some masters who are not in the third place, cut a layer of fat from them in minutes.

The social atmosphere of the Eastern Han Dynasty never deliberately advocated business, but people who did business were never scarce. The land is dead, the business is alive, and the business is more profitable than farming.

But they are very weak in the face of the upper echelons, so most of them are also very obsessed with their own reputation among the people.

Because of the lessons of blood, they found that except for the villagers, there was no one who could give them real support, and if they wanted to complete the class leap, they could not do without the reputation and prestige of the people.

Businessmen are not inferior, and there is a reason for it.

When I arrived at the common people, there was nothing to say, there was a Han household registration, and there was my own one-acre and three-point land, based on the village and centered on the family.

It is expected that there will be people who cross classes among the younger generations, but it is more likely that they will live in a group, and when there is a person who is good at management in the clan, everyone will become a big clan around him.

In addition to these classes, there is also a relatively high-end existence. That is a family that has a large-scale operating caravan, or has gathered a large number of wealthy families.

Wealthy families, all kinds of rich, extremely attached importance to fame, dying for fame, dying for fame, all kinds of thick waists, not explained.

From the lines into a ring, interlocking, and finally forming a plump and three-dimensional social form, from the common people to the emperor, each has its own position of belonging to the 'people'.

Perhaps some of them must be filthy, but the Eastern Han Dynasty has never been thin and simple.

There is dross, and there is essence.

As for the Han royal family at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there is nothing to say, take its dross, go to its essence, there is no limit, play out the people are not happy, the world is in chaos, and it is basically unavoidable.

Now Liu Cang wants to feed livestock in Dongshan, if he says that he saves money, it is really not his turn to come out of the village.

With Cai Yong standing behind, as long as he bears hardships and stands hard work, he will naturally have savings.

And it is also because of Cai Yong, if Liu Cang abides by the rules of the village and distributes profits to the village, it is no longer mutually beneficial and interdependent with the village.

The village should remember his good name, pass on his good name, and help him increase his fame.

The patriarch's face was a little dark, and he felt a little aggrieved, this baby, the wings are going to be hard...

"Okay, if you want to toss, you can toss and see, whoever dares to cause trouble for you in the village, the old man will be severely punished. If you need manpower, let the old man know, and the old man will find some good ones for you. The old man of the Dongcun clan thought for a moment and said to Liu Cang.

Aggrieved is aggrieved, but no matter how you say it, it is also a baby in our township, not to mention that he is related to his own family, and it is not a loss to pass on his name. The mentality of the clan elders gradually calmed down.

"Haha, I don't have any money left to find a helper now." Seeing that the matter was decided, Liu Cangle said.

"As long as you are willing to work hard, you will have money to spare sooner or later. If you are in a hurry, just open your mouth, and the old man will remember it for you. The patriarch said in a deep voice, and the atmosphere between the two was harmonious at this time.

"The old Xie clan is concerned, so let's toss it first. Lou Sang Xiangyong can't always let them circle around my small courtyard. Liu Cang said with a smile, and the patriarch's face changed again.

'Damn, forget about this stubble. No, all good things can't be taken up by Lou Sang, and they need to be considered in the long run. ’

"Okay, since the embroidery girl has entered your Liu family, how can I not let the baby leave home in the East Village, let's also clean up, tonight the East Village will set up a banquet, and the villagers will be lively, and the old man will no longer bully people, right?"

After talking about the matter, the clan elder got up and wanted to leave, he didn't want to get along with Liu Cang, this baby would not coax people.

"Clan Elder, isn't this okay? There are many injuries and illnesses in the village today, why not be operated by someone another day? Getting up to send the clan elder out, Liu Cang said casually.

I don't want to talk to this old guy a lot, talk and do things, and tie my hands and feet, which is troublesome.

"Hehe, my Higashimura son, a little injury, can you delay drinking?" The patriarch's tone was flat, but the corners of his mouth were a weird smile.

Liu Cang wanted to say something more, so he hurriedly sent the old man away, and then got tired of the embroidery girl for a while.

As a result, I saw the old man's smile sideways, and I suddenly felt that my scalp was numb.

'Not good! This old guy still has to do something! ’
