Chapter 44 Taxation: One County Exceeds One Country

Thirty thousand!

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Hear the number.

Prime Minister Wang Juan was shocked.

Because, the new population of the entire Great Qin Empire in the previous year was only 200,000!

How can this small goose city have a full 30,000 new population?!

To think this year, because of the Zhao earthquake and the Yellow River flood.

The new population of the entire Great Qin has plummeted.

An entire Great Qin Empire.

This is in all the counties except Goose City.

The new population is just over 20,000.

And Goose City is a small border county.

The number of new people added in this year was more than that of a Great Qin Empire.

At this time.

Remember Yingzheng's instructions.

Prime Minister Wang Xuanna hurriedly suppressed the shock in his heart.

He said, "Thirty thousand!?"

"Why is there so much new population in Goose City?"

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Follow the prepared rhetoric.

Zhao Kai said slowly, "Back to the Prime Minister, the reason why there are so many new populations in Goose City is that there have been no natural or man-made disasters in Goose City in recent years, and the people of Goose City have worked hard, so the population has naturally increased; On the other hand, it is because, under the leadership of the lower officials, in accordance with the national policy of our Great Qin Empire, the people of Goose City abandoned the well fields, opened up the fields, and opened up the wasteland on a large scale, with a lot of cultivated land, sufficient food, and fertile land. ”

"It attracts a portion of the population of other counties."

"And the lower officials gave them some newly opened up land and made it their private land, and promised them that as long as they went to open up the land independently, it would always belong to them, so they had the motivation to work hard and make a living, so there were more and more people."

Hear this statement.

Wang Juan nodded.

Although it was still shocking.

But that's barely acceptable.

Because the location of Goose City is close to the Jianghan Plain.

The Jianghan Plain is fertile.

It was the granary of Chu before.

Because of this year's flood of the Yellow River, as well as the drought in the Central Plains before the flood of the Yellow River, the Jianghan Plain exposed a lot of lakes and land, which according to Zhao Kai said, he led the people of Goose City to waste the well fields and open up the land, resulting in sufficient fertile land.

Attract the population of other counties.

This is a plausible reason.

The other side.

The dental room in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

saw that Zhao Kai made up for his lies.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi were also relieved.

I'm afraid that Zhao Kai will come up with any untrue words today.

Otherwise, with the character of Yingzheng.

Deceive the king of Qin on the spot.

Even if this Zhao Kai has a monstrous talent for governance.

Today, Zhao Kai can't eat and walk around.

"But there is no deception!"

"It's just that this statement is quite new!"

"But it's also a fact."

Ying Zheng sighed.

Because Zhao Kai's statement is true.

The reason why there are so many new people in Goose City.

It lies in two points.

One is that they have land.

One is that they have a job.

And all of this is also based on the waste of well fields, the opening of Qianmo, and the large-scale construction.

So Zhao Kai didn't lie about this.

Ying Zheng is still pleased.

And this method of opening up the wasteland for Zhao Kai.

Ying Zheng also felt that it was quite subtle.

He said to Li Si on the side, "Li Si, what do you think of Zhao Kai's method of handing over the newly opened land to the private ownership of the people?" “

Before.

Although Daqin has a way to waste the well field and open up the Qianmo.

However, the waste well field is opened, which is generally done by princes and nobles.

And even if it is ordinary people who go to open Qianmo.

The land does not reach the heads of the people.

Because, the abandoned well field is open to the poor.

As long as the land belongs to the individual.

Regardless of whether this land is cleared or not?

The land belongs to the original owner forever.

Most of the original holders of these lands were officials or clans of the Qin State.

It's the uncultivated land.

It is also generally their fiefdom.

And when the people go to open up the wasteland, what they get in the end is only the right to use the land, but not the ownership.

And now Zhao Kai uses this method.

And it worked.

I can't help but feel at this moment.

After thinking about it for a while.

Li Si also spoke, "Back to the king, the minister thinks this method is feasible." “

"In this way, the newly opened land becomes private owned by the people, and the people will work hard to cultivate, which will not lead to the previous general, even if the land is cleared, eventually these lands will become rented land given to the people by the family lords, and the people will still need to pay grain to the closed masters to farm."

"Just ......"

Talking and talking.

Li Si wanted to speak and stopped.

This made Ying Zheng's expression sink, "You say, don't worry about anything!" “

I saw Li Si speak, "It's just that this will inevitably offend the original fiefdom master!" “

"If this policy is really implemented, it will inevitably be obstructed by the original power stratum, and I am afraid that it will not be fully promoted throughout Daqin."

After listening to Lees's words.

Ying Zheng was silent.

"Then what if the widow wants to implement it?!" Ying Zheng said angrily.

At this moment, Li Si's expression sank and said, "Then, the king needs a strong, talented and not afraid courtier, let him carry out this matter, so that it can be feased." “

Lees's words mean something.

Ying Zheng understood as soon as he heard it.

And after another silence.

Turned his attention back to Zhao Kai in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

......

Meanwhile.

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

This way.

It's the first time I've heard of Zhao Kai's governance strategy.

Wang Juan heard about it.

Savor this.

I also think that Zhao Kai's method is quite exquisite.

Perhaps it can be spread throughout the Great Qin Empire.

And if the entire Great Qin Empire implements Zhao Kai's method.

That won't be long.

The Great Qin Empire will be even more prosperous.

More affluent.

That's it.

made Wang Juan admire Zhao Kai very much.

"That's good."

"What is the total annual income of Goose City?"

"A few years ago, the king had an edict, saying that he was sympathetic to you, so he exempted you from paying taxes in Goose City for five years, so I haven't asked you too much over the years."

"This year is the first year, I want to see what development your goose city has had in the past five years?"

Wang Juan's words came out.

It instantly aroused the expectations of the ministers in the ear room.

As Meng Tian Meng Yi Lisi, who has been to Goose City.

They are bustling on the Goose City.

That's insightful.

But how much does Goose City pay in a year?

They don't know either.

I'm looking forward to it at the moment.

Looking forward to Zhao Kai's answer.

"Back to the Prime Minister!"

"The total annual income of Goose City this year is 80,000 yuan!"

However, this side.

When Zhao Kai's words came out.

Everyone was stunned.

Because of this number, it's too little.

This Zhao Kai is obviously deceiving people.

couldn't help but realize that after Zhao Kai finally started to deceive, Meng Tian and Meng Yi Li Si and the others were also nervous in their hearts, and sweated for Zhao Kai.

Because Zhao Kai is obviously hiding everything from Goose City.

This is the sin of deceit.

Whoever wants to cut off his head.

And this side.

Zhao Kai's statement made Wang Juan also discuss.

Because according to Zhao Kai, there are all kinds of goose city.

The total income of Goose City is so small.

This is clearly not true.

"This minister reminds you again, if you deceive in any way, you will be dealt with according to the laws of Great Qin, and if you deceive in this matter, you should be punished."

He deserves to be punished.

Hear this statement.

Zhao Kai is also cold behind his back.

But this time.

Zhao Kai didn't intend to deceive people.

Just quoted.

That's just a poor mess.

At this time, Zhao Kai hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, the Prime Minister misunderstood, the number just now of Xia Guan is only the total income on the chivalrous side, that is, the total income in the mouths of other colleagues and county officials, and the total number of Goose City is not like this!" ”

Talking and talking.

Zhao Kai hurriedly took out a bill.

Then he spoke: "This year, the total income of Goose City in a broad sense is one million gold!" ”

"And in addition to the previous few years, the king tolerated Goose City and exempted taxes, these add up to a total of three million gold to pay to the Prime Minister this time!"

Zhao Kai said this.

Everyone was stupid.

Because.

That's a terrifying number.

Three million gold!

Meng Tian, Meng Yi, and Li Si all suspected that something was wrong with their ears.

How could this be three million gold!

If you want to think about it, the tax revenue of the Great Qin Empire for the whole year this year is only more than two million!

And Zhao Kai took it for three million!

Other words.

In fact, Goose City is a county seat.

This is richer than the entire Great Qin Empire.

One county!

Beyond a country!

This is too scary!
