The land of Hebei is flat and the population is prosperous. Since the Jin Kingdom became strong, due to environmental and other factors, the degree of development here is much higher than that of the south. Especially after the imperial court improved agricultural technology, Hebei, Guanzhong, Central Plains, and Huainan became the most populous areas.

This time, there was a great drought in Guanzhong, Hebei, and the imperial court just took the opportunity of the drought to migrate the population, and at the same time, the imperial court used work for relief and built water conservancy reservoirs to cope with the drought.

The imperial court has always attached great importance to the development of agriculture, and no matter what time of year it is, people always have to eat. Therefore, agriculture is the foundation of a country, and without agriculture, it cannot be a normal country, let alone a strong country. Agriculture is the foundation of a stable country.

The imperial court's long-standing agricultural policy was to encourage the common people to reclaim wasteland, promote cattle farming, and promote manure to encourage the cultivation of legume crops.

Even though the imperial court has been vigorously promoting iron farming tools, there are still many places in Daqian that use stone and wooden agricultural tools, and the main reason for this is the lack of iron production. Even some remote areas are still out of the slash-and-burn era.

In this era, the speed of information transmission is slow, just like the policies that have been implemented since the time of the First Emperor, such as the unification of currency, the same balance of systems, and the same kind of ethics, there are still remote areas that have not been fully implemented.

At least until now, there have been occasional currencies from various countries circulating in the Qianqian market. There is no way to do this, even if you are the emperor, after an order is issued, you can't let the whole world complete the implementation overnight.

In real history, Qin Shi Huang's implementation of policies such as system and balance was not completed until the fall of the Qin Dynasty, and it was not largely completed until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The imperial court encourages farming, but not everyone knows how to farm technology, and the imperial court has always relied on experienced old farmers to learn and then let the old farmers go back to various places to teach and promote, or send agricultural bachelors to teach in various places.

The imperial court needed to consume a large amount of iron every year to arm the army, and the number of iron farming tools was naturally insufficient. Because of the problem of iron-smelting technology, whether it is agricultural tools or weapons, the annual wear and tear is very large.

Most of the time, Daqian still uses iron-clad farm tools.

500,000 people migrated from Hebei, some of them to southern Fujian and Lingnan, and others to the Korean Peninsula and Liaodong.

In remote areas, the cadres introduced two tax systems, one was a normal state tax model for the territory under actual control, and the other was a similar tax package system for the vassal territories within their sphere of influence.

The actual control of the territory needs to be taken seriously and properly disposed of, so it is taxed according to the regular standard, and the land tax is five taxes or ten taxes. The imperial court integrated all the excesses and miscellaneous taxes such as the Dingkou tax and included them in the field tax. In this way, taxation is convenient, and the officials at the bottom are not easy to embezzle.

It is easy for the imperial court to be corrupt, and the people know how much tax they need to pay.

It is not like in the real time, where the people do not know how much tax they have to pay, it is all up to the officials. Although the five taxes seem to be several times heavier than the thirty taxes of the Han Dynasty, in real comparison, the taxes that the people of the Han Dynasty have to pay are much higher than those of Daqianke.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it was fifteen taxes and one one, and in the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty advocated agriculture-oriented, reduced taxes and servitude, and reduced the field tax to thirty taxes and one tax.

The Han Dynasty charged 23 yuan per person per year for the underage population, 120 yuan per person per year for adults, and 2,000 yuan per month for conscription and military service. Even if the officials did not carry out repeated taxation and did not collect other firewood taxes, mulberry taxes, etc., the taxes of the Han Dynasty were actually five or four out of ten.

Every household has to go to labor every year, or go up to the mountain to cut wood, or work for the court for free, so to speak, there is no rest all year round. In the event of floods, droughts, locust plagues, and additional payments are required. Even if it is the rule of Wenjing, it sounds like the people are living a good life, but in fact, it is not a difficult life.

Therefore, in order to pay less taxes, the people of the Han Dynasty often drowned babies, or sold their children and grandchildren, or even sold themselves directly and became slaves of wealthy families.

Because officials and nobles also had to pay taxes, and because they attached importance to commerce and trade, they collected commercial taxes and seigniorage, so their finances were relatively well-off. At the same time, the royal family has been patching the tax system for a long time, such as seigniorage, mining tax, salt and iron tax, etc., to prevent the imperial court from overtaxing and the people cannot afford it.

For those that are not actually controlled by the imperial court, but are under the control of the imperial court, the great cadres implement another tax model.

The land and population here are not controlled by the imperial court, so you can do it your own way. If you don't listen to me, you don't want to hand over the land and population, and you want to get the protection of the big cadres, and then you need to pay protection money if you continue to be the owner of the cave and the village.

If something happens, the court will help you out, and if you don't pay the protection fee, then you will be beaten, robbed, and killed, but you think you are unlucky.

Of course, Daqian is not unreasonable, but a great good man who protects everyone, and how much tax you collect on your territory, then give me half of it.

If you feel that it is too expensive, you can't afford it, or you don't want to give it, then you can accept the rule of the big cadres, measure the land, and organize the households and the people, so that you can pay taxes according to the normal taxes of the big cadres.

Daqian will not make any domestic people collect heavy taxes, but not only does not collect taxes for the prefecture, but gives you all kinds of benefits every year. If they do this, those barbarians will be willing to join Zhuxia after their brains are pumped.

At that time, the original benefits of joining Zhuxia were not reaped, but a large amount of taxes had to be paid. They can't think about it to join it.

So, you have to be attractive to the barbarians, and the barbarians will be willing to join in. In the same way, this can also enhance the sense of belonging of the common people.

This is also another force that has been open up to the outside world all along.

If the imperial court is strong enough, that piece of wild land is almost developed, after the influence of the Daqian culture, these people will admire the Daqian culture, take the initiative to attach, the imperial court will also give them the title of reward for these people who take the initiative to attach, and then move to Luoyang or other five capitals to live, become an honorary cadre.

There is the best education and the best life experience, which is much better than being a mountain king in a wild land. If those people are unwilling, then they will be 'persuaded by reason'.
