Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Rich Have No Land, and the Poor Have No Place to Stand!

Everything is in order......

Everyone in the world benefited from the decision of the First Emperor, and this was not because of their status, because they were human beings, and they had to pay taxes.

However, the real grit Qianshou is not better off because of the tax cut.

The distant realm of the Ancient Qi ...... Langya ......

It is not very close to Xianyang, but because the first emperor personally ordered and Li Si personally supervised it, the decree was handed out through Chidao, and the local government of Langya also posted a notice in a short period of time, announcing the summons of Great Qin to reduce taxes and levies.

Between the countryside...... On the vast fields, tenant farmers and subordinates are diligently participating in spring ploughing.

Ploughing ox carrying the plough on its back under the supervision of the subordinate under the supervision of the subordinate to work hard, if you look carefully, you will find that this plough is obviously different from the simple plough in the past, the wheel is curved, the double ox bears it, eats the soil deeply, and walks fast.

Due to the restrictions of various complicated laws and regulations in the Qin Dynasty, the exchange of news in various places was not frequent, and the Quyuan plough invented by Zhao Si in this era could not afford to buy the real Qiantou.

Just kidding, paying fifteen taxes, and dealing with complicated forced labor plus all kinds of special circumstances, it is already the limit that a family can barely support the past year, how can there be spare money to buy such a large instrument as a plow?

This is the current situation of Great Qin, the real Qiantou has been squeezed under the complicated forced labor and heavy taxes, and there is no oil and water that has been squeezed.

However, heavy cultivation and heavy war were the basic national policies of the Qin State, and Shang Ying put forward a coping strategy in order to deal with the situation that the common people had no money to spare to buy plows and livestock and raise cattle.

Down to the villages, ploughs and oxen were provided by the government for the common people during the farming season.

Because ploughs and ploughing oxen are both publicly owned, many laws have been formulated for specific purposes.

For example, if a person who raises cattle fails to serve them well, causing them to lose weight or have other problems, they will be punished accordingly.

The person in charge of keeping the plough will also be punished accordingly if there is any damage to the plough due to human factors.

The Qin state ruled by sinking down to the local villages, where the villagers were in charge of local affairs, and there were many regulatory restrictions to ensure that the local government could not leave the land wasted despite such heavy taxes and forced labor.

For land cultivation and tending, the Qin State also has a special set of rewards and punishments, and those who grow good grain can even be promoted.

If the grain production is reduced year after year, they will be punished accordingly, and if the grain harvest between the townships is insufficient due to human factors, Li Zheng and the village elders will also be held accountable.

It is worth mentioning that most of the power between the townships in the Qin Dynasty was held in the hands of Li Zheng and the township squirters and pavilion chiefs, and most of the township elders were honorary positions, unlike the Han Dynasty, where the village elders had supreme authority over their own one-third of an acre.

Generally speaking, the Qin Dynasty sought to squeeze the oil and water out of the hands of the self-employed, and at the same time to maintain that the class would not be completely unsociable.

Theoretically speaking, the Qin State did it, but it was the Qin State before it unified the world.

This system of the Qin State was the only one that took hundreds of years after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, and it turned the land of Guanzhong into a country that knew the law, understood the law and abided by the law in the true sense.

And after dominating the world, blindly implementing the world, the result is.

The farming tools and cattle that were supposed to be used by the common people during the farming season were encroached upon by the high-ranking families and local nobles.

This field is the property of the Cui family, and the new ploughs and oxen used are all owned by the Qin government.

As for the real people?

Tooth wiped the sweat from his forehead with the bone plow, and turned his head to look at the subordinates and tenant farmers who were using ploughs and oxen to plow, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

The farmland of the tooth and the Cui family's field are not very far apart, and the distance between them is only a few hundred steps, and the surrounding area is empty, and you can see the situation over there at a glance.

On the vast fields, the vassals and tenant farmers used ploughs and oxen that they had never seen before.

and fertile land that they could not reach.

Yes, good fields!

Of course, the best fertile land belongs to the Cui family, while the Ya and their group cultivate the uneven and newly cultivated lower fields, and the lower fields in the lower fields.

There was no way, most of their fields were sold to the Cui family for various reasons.

The Cui family did not use any special means, the taxes of the Qin Dynasty were so high, and the Shu people did not have ploughing oxen and plough tools in their hands, and if they did not use ploughing oxen and plough tools, the grain output would not increase.

If the grain output is too low continuously, it will violate the Qin law, and the income will not be able to make ends meet, and the more it is, the poorer it will become, and this is the current situation of the Shu people.

Not to mention that in this era, the land needs to be carefully tended, watered, and cared for...... Where something goes wrong, life is hard to go.

If you are lucky, you will work hard to support it for more than ten years, and if you are unlucky, you will go bankrupt in a year or two.

If you go bankrupt, you have to pawn the land.

If you don't have enough land to pawn it, you have to borrow money......

The Cui family has a good reputation, and after reaping their land, they were allowed to open up the wasteland, and they did not collect grain in the first three years of the land.

The most important thing is that they who have lost their fields, they don't have to be taxed, the Cui family pities them, and they will help them with taxes or something, although they don't know what the Cui family does, but they really don't have to pay taxes anymore.

You only need to open up the wasteland for the Cui family.

As for after the reclamation? Of course, he is a tenant farmer of the Cui family.

There is nothing wrong with being a tenant farmer of the Cui family, and Ya knows that many of the tenant farmers who are now cultivating on that fertile land are the tenant farmers of the Cui family.

If you are short of money, you can ask the master's family to borrow money, and if you can't go to the master's house, you generally don't press too much.

Hey! I have to thank the Cui family!

Ya felt that there was nothing wrong with being a tenant farmer for the Cui family, and he only felt extremely tired when he lifted the old man in his hand.

The Cui family is a great benevolent person!

If they become tenant farmers of the Cui family, they will have land to plant in the future.

A group of people are working hard with about the same mentality.

They were naked, their clothes were tattered, and even the things they used to shelter the cattle and horses from the cold were a little inferior.

But they got used to it......

While he was working hard, a man suddenly came out of a depression on the side, holding a big yellow dog in his hand.

"Tooth, the emperor has lowered his taxes, and he used to collect fifty percent of the tax, but he will only need to collect one percent of the tax in the future!"

Ya looked up and saw that it was the same prodigal son Cui Yu, who claimed to be an ancestor of the Cui family, had some surplus wealth in the family, and had a good relationship with Ya when he was a child.

Ya's first reaction when he heard about the tax cut was to be happy, but then he was stunned.

What's the fun?

He has no land......

Cui Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and said with a smile: "I forgot that your family's land was given to the Cui family." ”

Cui Yu smiled and came to Ya's side, sat down, patted Ya's shoulder, and said, "If you want me to say, you shouldn't sell ......."

Cui Yu sat on the ground, looking at the vast fields.

The rich have no place to stand, and the poor have no place to stand!
