"Is this true, chief?" a young man couldn't help but ask aloud.

"Of course it's true! This is a national policy, who dares to spread rumors? Do you want to eat free rice?" Ximen Fengcheng said angrily and funny.

On the blackboard, there are two rows of large characters, on which is written "300 acres per person, regardless of men, women and children", and below is written "tax exemption below 30,000 yuan".

Ximen Fengcheng held a red-headed document and waved it in his hand, and said: "This is the red-headed document sent by the central government, this is not a joke! Wait a while, this document will be posted on the public notice board, and I will read it myself after the meeting is dismissed." ”

"Let me first tell the villagers in detail about the preferential policies this time, this time we got a lot of land resources. Malaya has 4.5 million hectares of arable land, all paddy fields or plantations. Australia has 480 million hectares, of which about 440 million hectares are pastures and 40 million hectares are farms...... Now the distribution ratio is like this, 4 hectares per person who goes to Malaya, which is 60 acres per person. To Australia and New Zealand, it is 20 hectares of pasture per person, which is 300 acres per person. The arable land, as in Malaya, is 4 hectares per person. ”

Of course, this number is the benchmark value, and the number will increase or decrease according to the fertility of the land. There will be less fertile land, and more thin land......"

"Township Chief, what is this benchmark value?"

"Oh, this benchmark is set by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and they determine the number of livestock that can be carried per hectare of pasture, or the yield of crops grown per hectare of arable land, and the number of various livestock and various crops varies. For example, beef cattle are raised according to the standard of 10 one-year-old Hanyang cattle per hectare (the current mainstream beef cattle), and those who meet this standard are the benchmark pastures. If it is rice, it is based on Indica No. 3, and the production capacity per mu is 800 kg, which is the benchmark paddy field. ”

"The standards of various livestock and crops are different, and you can go to the bulletin board to see the specific standards after the meeting, I won't explain them one by one here......" Ximen Fengcheng said with a dry throat, drank a sip of water and continued.

"All farms and farms are now evaluated by experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. During this time, experts are conducting land assessments, grading all the land to be allocated, and at the same time, they divide the land piece by piece according to the weighted average. When it comes to land selection, the lottery will be conducted according to the small family unit......"

"Then there is the problem of tax exemption, you don't have to pay taxes for the first five years, you don't have to pay a penny. From the sixth year to the tenth year, it is half a tax, and only half of the tax is paid. Moreover, there is now a preferential policy. All farmers with an annual turnover of less than 30,000 yuan do not need to pay tax even if the tax exemption period expires. This turnover is per household. ”

A few years ago, China carried out tax reforms, and the agricultural tax, which had lasted for thousands of years, was abolished. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, because of the lack of fiscal revenue, the hoarding of grain reserves, and so on, the government of the Socialist Party also continued the agricultural tax. The tax rate is 30% of agricultural output, which is known as the 30% tax.

If you look at the tax rate alone, the tax rate of the CSD is extremely high. Because since the Han Dynasty, China's field tax (agricultural tax) has been 15 to 30 taxes. During the Qing Dynasty, this tax rate was similar, about 5%. Please note that this only refers to the "positive tax".

However, the peasants did not pay more than just "positive endowments", and I never relied on "positive endowments" to eat, and there were many miscellaneous taxes, additional taxes, and apportionments. For example, the famous "consumption of envy", I rely on this to raise incorruptible silver in the Qing Dynasty. For example, the scattered silver at the time of collecting the land endowment should be cast into silver ingots, and the loss during casting is called "fire consumption"; the collected grain should be dried and put into storage, and the loss of the grain by the finches and rats is called "the consumption of finches and rats." Send money and grain into the warehouse, and the round-trip cost is called "foot consumption...... These things are called "consumption and envy", and they all have to be borne by taxpayers.

Another example is the mu donation, also known as the field donation. It is a kind of additional tax levied on the mu of the field, and the mu donation includes a wide range of types, mainly including the donation per mu, the school donation, the police donation, the national defense military donation, etc., which vary from place to place. This kind of land tax was first levied in Sichuan in the second year of Xianfeng (1852), and then successively collected in Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other provinces. Compared with the original land tax, the additional tax on land has increased by half for less and several times or even dozens of times for more.

And then there is the most important "land rent", which is much higher than the "Zhengfu" (land tax). Those who collect 40 percent of the rent are already considered good landlords, and the "375 rent reduction" carried out by the Damu Dynasty in Taiwan is to let the landlords reduce the land rent to 37.5 percent, and this proportion has been strongly opposed.

The landlord would not pay the taxes mentioned above, and all of them were apportioned to the tenant farmers. Moreover, those large local households also colluded with the officials to dump the taxes that should have been paid on other small households, so even ordinary small landlords and yeoman farmers could not escape.

These messy things are added together, and the peasants' output has to be handed over at least six or seven percent, which is not bad, but when they meet some black-hearted people, it is not enough to pay all their annual income, and they have to borrow money. Therefore, during the period from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Damu Dynasty, the Chinese revolution was so easy to launch. That's because most people can't live happily, if they can live, who is willing to make a revolution?

After the establishment of the CSD power, all the messy and exorbitant taxes were abolished, and the most important thing was that the land was divided among the people, and there was no longer the biggest burden of rent. Farmers only have to pay one tax, an agricultural tax of 30 per cent, and all food and oil crops are taxed in kind, and only cash crops are converted into currency. In this way, the burden on the peasants will be greatly reduced, and the families of military and martyrs will also have preferential tax reductions and exemptions. Coupled with the government-organized construction of water conservancy projects and infrastructure, the promotion of pesticides, fertilizers and high-yielding crops, and the "distorted supply mechanism" of daily necessities, the living standards of farmers have greatly improved.

In 1919, after the end of the Second Five-Year Plan, China at this time took advantage of the east wind of the First World War to do business with the warring parties at the same time, making a lot of money, counting the money and cramping in hand. Moreover, in the past ten years, high-yield crops have been popularized in China, and the problem of grain reserves has been completely solved. As a result, the first agricultural tax reform was carried out, and the agricultural tax rate was directly reduced by half, to 15%.

In 1929, after the end of the Fourth Five-Year Plan, the agricultural tax rate was again drastically reduced to 5%.

The year before last, in 1939, after the end of the Sixth Five-Year Plan, the agricultural tax was completely abolished. When this policy came out, the whole country and even the world were boiling, and China became the first country on the planet to be exempted from agricultural taxes.

In other words, even if you plant more crops in the future, as long as you don't sell them, you don't have to pay a penny of tax. Of course, there has always been a transaction tax, and if it is a takeaway, the government will collect it according to the transaction amount. Since then, the main source of grain and oil in the national strategic reserve warehouse is no longer the tax in kind on agriculture, but the direct storage department takes money to the production area to purchase.

Now the Australian, New Zealand and Malaysian immigration policies are even more favorable, as long as a family's turnover is less than 30,000 yuan, even the business tax is exempted, and no penny of tax has to be paid.

Moreover, this time the land division is not limited to adults who have reached the age of 18, even newborn babies are counted, anyway, the government divides the land according to the number of people. If you want to engage in animal husbandry, according to the calculation of a family of five, you can be divided into 100 hectares, that is, 1,500 acres of pasture. Of course, as in China, the right to use these lands is immigrated, but the specific operation is still carried out in the form of cooperatives.

Generally speaking, a dozen to hundreds of households form a cooperative, and the land is joined as shares, sharing consumption, and carrying out intensive and mechanized operations. Intensive management is much more efficient than small-scale peasant economy, of course, whether or not to join the cooperative is voluntary, and you have to fill in the application for land, and if you don't want to join the cooperative, you have to wait for the immigrants to participate in the cooperative to choose before the land can be divided by lot.

China's agricultural and animal husbandry cooperative system has been in place for more than 30 years, and the various management and distribution systems, as well as the obligations and rights of members, are also very meticulous and perfect, and the relevant laws and regulations are also quite mature, and they have been taken into account. Only a very small number of people will run out and go it alone.

As soon as these preferential conditions came out, the crowd in the audience was excited.

Who said that they are mainly agriculture, but they are no strangers to animal husbandry, every household in the village has raised pigs, cattle and sheep, even if it is not the same as a professional herdsman, but now China's agricultural science institute is equipped to the township, agricultural technicians are assigned to the village, there is no technical problem at all.

When you think of 300 acres of pasture or 60 acres of fields, many people can't sit still. The Chinese people have always attached the most importance to land, and it is the wish of most people to have a piece of land of their own. However, there is little agricultural land in Guangxi, and everyone knows the topography of Guangxi, which is "seven mountains, two rivers and one field", plus China, which is the same plane, does not allow destructive reclamation, and is extremely strict on things like terraces. As a result, there are fewer fields here than during the Tatu Dynasty, and with the seven districts of Haiphong from Vietnam, there are less than 4 million hectares (60 million mu). Each person's target can only be divided into 3 to 4 acres of land, and the newly grown young people in Guangxi in recent years, if they want to divide the land, they have to go to other provinces. for all the land of the province has been divided.

3 acres of land and 300 acres of land, a fool knows which one to choose. Some middle-aged and elderly people are still a little hesitant, but many young people, especially the second son and daughter in the family, and those who have no land to divide, can't help it.
