Chapter Twenty-Nine: Yang Mou

"The state pastor has a life, now Jingzhou is a little fixed, in order to relieve the people's suffering, rest with the people, since the 21st year of Jian'an, all Jingxiang people are exempted from oral calculation for three years. After three years, if there is a family of less than 10 people, one horse of linen cloth and one pound of cotton will be levied according to the household...... The land rent is reduced to 10 taxes! ”

Jingzhou has reduced taxes! Just two days after the end of the 'Lumen Cultural Meeting', the news of tax reduction and exemption suddenly spread like a tornado, and within a few days, it spread throughout the land of Jingxiang.

"The heavens are open! It's been so many years, and the court finally remembered the suffering of the people who waited for me......"

When the people confirmed the authenticity of this news from the government, they couldn't help but shout out to the sky.

"What kind of sky is open, when did the imperial court remember that I was waiting for the Qianshou grass people? This is all Childe's kindness! If it weren't for the blessing of my son in Jingzhou, when would such a good thing come to me......"

Hearing that someone attributed this good thing to the sky and the imperial court, it immediately aroused the disdain of many people.

"Yes, yes, look at my brain! I've lived for decades...... I only met Gongzi, the state pastor, who really thinks about us and other Qianshou grass people! ”

It is said that people's hearts are rare, but in fact, it is not so difficult to really do. The people are very simple, and as long as anyone can really bring them personal benefits, they will naturally support whom.

Therefore, with an order to reduce or reduce oral calculations and taxes, the people of Jingzhou, who were afraid that they didn't even know who the state pastor was, were eager to set up an immortal tablet for Liu Chan, the new state pastor, at this time.

No way, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, for decades, no matter who governs Jingzhou, in order to raise military expenses, food and salaries, etc., this tax has always been increased unabated, how can there ever be such a good thing?

Therefore, although the reduced land rent is not as good as the old 30 tax 1, compared with the previous land rent of nearly 40 percent, the 10 tax 1 is already better and not too much.

What's more, this is just a field rent. As a 'poll tax' that has been used since ancient times, Liu Chan not only exempted it for three years, but also changed the previous method of levying it according to the head to a household levy, and a family of less than ten people only needs to pay one piece of cloth and one pound of cotton every year. Compared to the previous capitation levy, this is more than half the light.

Of course, although Liu Chan's order is aimed at the entire Jingxiang, in fact, only half of the people of Jingzhou under his rule can really enjoy this preferential policy.

Like the Jingzhou counties occupied by Sun Quan and Cao Cao, they would definitely not follow the orders of Liu Chan, the Jingzhou pastor.

In this way, you don't have to think about it to know what kind of reaction the people of Jingzhou in these states and counties will have when they know the news.

You know, since ancient times, it has always been not a widow, only uneven! Seeing that as a Jingzhou person, everyone is enjoying such and such 'welfare', but he is going to continue to be exploited by others, who can stand this?

Therefore, just when the people of Nanjun, Lingling, and Wuling were cheering under Liu Chan's rule, the counties of Jingzhou occupied by Cao Cao and Sun Quan suddenly became undercurrent. Especially the counties of Changsha and Guiyang east of Xiangshui, which have just been occupied by Jiangdong for a long time, are even more surging with emotions.

……

"The plan of the military advisor has been successful, and now Sun Shiwan and Cao Cao have a headache! Hahahaha......"

In the Jiangling City Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, after receiving the news that had just come back from the land of Jingzhou occupied by Sun Cao, Liu Chan, who was originally leisurely burning hot pot with Pang Tong Zhao Yun and others, couldn't help but laugh heartily at this moment.

Needless to say, the current situation in the entire Jingxiang Land is from the hands of Pang Tong, the phoenix chick.

Using the money and grain earned from the previous orders for ice muscle paper and books, he gave the people under his rule the 'welfare' of tax reduction and exemption, and then took advantage of the people's psychology of 'not suffering from widowhood, but only suffering from inequality', and then caused turmoil in the Jingzhou county occupied by Sun Cao, and led the people to flee, which is the harvest other than the money and grain that Pang Tong said before.

You know, since ancient times, this territory and population have been the embodiment of strength. As long as you have territory and a sufficient population, even if this strength is not good, it will not be far behind.

At present, among the three parties of Cao, Liu and Sun, in addition to the territory, the biggest gap is reflected in this population.

Cao Cao occupied Kyushu in the north, with a population of more than four million, so even if there was a defeat at Chibi, it was still just a skin injury, and it didn't hurt his foundation at all.

And Sun Quan, who occupies Jiangdong and part of Jingzhou, also has a population base of almost two million.

Only Liu Bei's side has the smallest population, but it is only more than one million. And that's it, it's because he still occupies half of Jingzhou in his hands.

In the original history, after Guan Erye completely lost Jingzhou, Shu Han only had more than 200,000 households, less than one million people.

Of course, this number is only an official statistic with an 'account'. In addition to this, the hidden households swallowed by the various families are at least several times this number.

But in terms of hidden households, the situation faced by Cao, Liu and Sun is fair.

So in general, among the three forces, Liu Bei's side is still the one with the smallest ruling population. At the same time, it is also the side with the weakest war potential.

Therefore, in line with the principle of making up for the deficiency after the loss is surplus, how could Pang Tong let go of this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone to compete for the population of both Cao and Sun.

"Although the plan has been successful, we still cannot be careless. It is also necessary to make arrangements in advance to make all preparations for the return of the people......"

After a sip of wine, Pang Tong, who has always been good at taking risks, was a rare cautious person this time.

"Haha, don't worry, I have already explained this matter to the second uncle. I believe that with the ability of the second uncle, such a trivial matter will not go wrong. ”

Hearing Pang Tong's reminder, Liu Chan smiled confidently.

Just kidding, although Guan Erye has great flaws in his character, he is a person who fought Cao Cao almost in the original history and avoided all of them, so that Dongwu only dared to sneak attack from beginning to end, and did not dare to face it head-on, his military command ability is still quite good.

"In addition, when the time comes, Uncle Yun will also lead a group of people and horses, and then go to Xiangshui to 'inspect' a circle, and this matter is estimated to be about the same."

In the end, just in case, Liu Chan beat Zhao Yun, a thoughtful general who was always victorious, as a patch.

"The young master can rest assured, as long as the people return, the last general will definitely pick them up one by one."

Hearing that he had the opportunity to lead the army, Zhao Yun, who was 'forced' to become one of the deputy commanders of Skynet, couldn't help but be excited.
