Chapter 27: Sanchuan County, you don't even collect money?
Jiang Xia was speechless, "Isn't there Xiao He to help Your Majesty?" has Xiao He assisted, but the implementation of the law is just a trivial matter. ”
It's like Yangwu's law, in fact, it was only because Yingbu, who had been protecting him all along, just stole something at that time and tattooed a word on his face.
When talking about this matter, Jiang Xia complained that this law was too strict. It's wrong to steal, but it always depends on the situation.
It's like some people can't open the pot, and they will tattoo words on their faces if they steal it once? At the very least, give him a chance, and punish him the second time he is caught.
After Xiao He heard Jiang Xia's complaints, he began to ask Jiang Xia's opinions on various laws, and then Xiao He revised it into the unique Yangwu law that it is now.
It's like Great Qin advocates military exploits, so most of the punishments in Qin's laws are based on money and armor.
Yangwu was the period of construction, so most of the punishments were mainly based on money and labor reform.
After Li You of Sanchuan County knew about it, he directly used the Yangwu Law to implement it throughout Sanchuan County, so now the Yangwu Law has evolved into the Sanchuan Law.
As for how Xiao He implemented it......
Then you have to ask Xiao He, in the process of implementation, Jiang Xia didn't ask at all.
When Xiao He heard this, he immediately bowed deeply, "Thank you, Mr. for complimenting!" ”
Qin Shi Huang also laughed twice, "What Mr. said is good! Xiao He has the qualifications of a prime minister, but he is just implementing the law, which is indeed a trivial matter! ”
"However...... "What is now in front of Qin Shi Huang is indeed a trivial matter."
He wants to rule the world now!
But the world is so big, money, food, soldiers and horses are all big problems!
If Great Qin can use the Yangwu method to cultivate, grain and grass will indeed not become a big problem.
But now there is a big question, can Daqin's soldiers and horses really take down the whole world?
"Sir, who are available to the Great Qin generals? How to fill the soldiers and horses? ”
"If you want to talk about the Great Qin generals......
To say that in this period, the most powerful general is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Jiangdong!
But Xiang Yu's family seems to have been Chu generals for generations, "Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu", and in the end, it was indeed Xiang Yu who gave the heaviest blow to the Great Qin Empire, and Great Qin was completely destroyed.
Qin Chu feud, can Brother Zheng recruit Xiang Yu?
Forget it.
Xiang Yu is so talented, what Brother Zheng can't grasp is better to keep it to himself.
"In addition to Wang Jian and Wang Ben, father and son, and Meng Tian, it is Zhang Han."
Zhang Han, when Qin II revolted in various places, he was able to defend Great Qin by leading the prisoners of Lishan, and he also forced Xiang Yu to break the cauldron and sink the boat, he was definitely a talent.
Hearing the names of Wang Jian Wang Ben and Meng Tian, Qin Shi Huang was not too surprised, but ......
Who is this chapter Han?
Jiang Xia actually gave him such a high evaluation?
Qin Shi Huang secretly wrote down Zhang Han's name and planned to send someone to investigate.
"There seems to be another one named Zhao Tuo, who is also very powerful."
Zhao Tuo?!
Qin Shi Huang glanced back at Zhao Tuo who was standing behind him, and Zhao Tuo was also shocked, clenching the hilt of his sword excitedly.
How could he get such a high evaluation from the immortals?!
Just when Zhao Tuo was excited, Jiang Xia shook his head and sighed helplessly, "Zhao Tuo, this person, who conquered Baiyue in the south, is definitely popular with the people." ”
It's a pity......
Zhao Tuo took the soldiers and horses given to him by Qin Shi Huang to subdue Nanyue, but as a result, Qin Shi Huang survived and proclaimed himself the martial king of Nanyue. He survived Liu Bang to death, survived Empress Lu, experienced the rule of Wenjing, and did not die until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
It can be said that the people of Nanyue do not know the Qin and Han dynasties, but only the martial kings of Nanyue!
After living for more than 100 years, many South Vietnamese people have been under the rule of Zhao Tuo all their lives, can they be unpopular with the people?
Wenzhi martial arts, Zhao Tuo did a very good job.
But this man has one of the biggest problems.
Is he loyal to Great Qin?
It is said that when Qin Shi Huang sent Zhao Tuo south, he once told him that even if there was an accident in the court, he should not withdraw his troops and must stabilize South Vietnam.
However, as soon as Qin Shi Huang died, he closed the road between Great Qin and South Vietnam and established himself as king, and the degree of loyalty is indeed very debatable.
Zhao Tuo may have won the trust of Brother Zheng, but ......
Brother Zheng is about to die!
Is it appropriate to give Zhao Tuo so many soldiers and horses?
Seeing Jiang Xia's hesitation, Qin Shi Huang asked suspiciously, "Could it be that Zhao Tuo is the person, what's the problem?" ”
The southern expedition to South Vietnam can win the hearts of the people, so why shake your head and sigh?
Jiang Xia shook his head and didn't comment too much on Zhao Tuo, "If Your Majesty wants Great Qin to have enough soldiers and horses, you need to reform the tax system!" ”
"Huh?" Qin Shi Huang glanced at Zhao Tuo meaningfully.
He also groped out some of Jiang Xia's performances, once Jiang Xia talked about him left and right, and didn't want to mention it too much, it must be ......
Zhao Tuo has any other questions!
But since Zhao Tuo can conquer South Vietnam and subdue the hearts of the South Vietnamese people, what problems will there be?
Qin Shi Huang temporarily suppressed his doubts about Zhao Tuo, and then asked, "I don't know what Mr. thinks there is wrong with the tax system?" ”
"Now Daqin collects money, calculates taxes, and taxes the population. There are also land rents and drafts, and taxes are levied on land. So, has Your Majesty ever thought about what would happen if there were many people in a family and few people? ”
Most families, if they want to pay taxes from the imperial court, can only rely on their own family's one-third of an acre.
But the problem is that the fields are taxed, and the population is taxed.
If there are many people and there is little land......
You can only sell your sons and daughters!
It is difficult to increase the land, and if you want to pay the taxes of the imperial court, you can only do it by reducing the population of the family.
But if Qin Shi Huang wants to conquer the world, what he needs is a prosperous population!
"Sir, mean, reduce the money and the calculation?"
Mouth money, which is aimed at the population who have not reached military age, is levied on each person per year.
The calculation of the levy is aimed at the population who have reached the age of service, and both the conscription and taxation are observed.
Jiang Xia nodded, in his opinion, the population is taxed once, and the land is taxed again, which is already regarded as a double tax.
What's more, if a person who has reached military age has served conscription, why should he be taxed again?
"Yangwu has now raised taxes on land and trade, but abolished the export tax. As for the calculation, it is a choice of two options, and you can choose to serve in conscription or pay money. ”
Xiao He added, "Although the mouth tax has been abolished and the calculation of taxes has been reduced, Yangwu has received more taxes every year than before, and the population has also increased a lot in just one year." ”
Of course, this is not just due to the change in the tax system.
"Yangwu actually canceled the mouth tax, and even the calculation of the tax has been reduced?!" Qin Shi Huang looked at Jiang Xia in disbelief.
Soon, Qin Shi Huang realized that Li You, the commander of Sanchuan County, must have known about this, or even more than just knowing about it!
I'm afraid that the entire Sanchuan County is executed like this!
"Could it be that the entire Sanchuan County has abolished the mouth tax?"
Jiang Xia nodded, affirming Qin Shi Huang's guess.
The corners of Qin Shi Huang's mouth twitched fiercely, and Li Si ......
What a good son!
"Then why hasn't the taxes paid by Sanchuan County decreased in the past two years, not to mention the number of people who have served as conscripts?"
