Hearing these four conditions, the fourteen family heads couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount for their fourteen families.

However, you can still take out one or two. And this carriage workshop is a golden rooster that can lay golden eggs!

A one-time investment will have at least ten years or even decades of benefits.

As for the year-end dividends, not being able to meddle in the management and operation of the carriage workshop, etc., these are not problems.

In other words, that is, they have no problem with these four conditions.

Thinking of this, the head of the Wang family couldn't help but ask: "The four conditions proposed by the adults, I have no problem waiting. ”

"As for the number of acres of land, how dare we deceive the adults? It's just that now that I'm implementing a new law in Ping'an County, I don't know how much tax I need to pay for an acre of land? ”

After the head of the Wang family, other family heads also echoed it, and they all agreed to the four conditions put forward by Jia Huan, and they were all willing to pay taxes.

Well, they don't really have a lot of options.

As the so-called gods fight, the little ghosts suffer.

They're the little ghosts caught in the middle.

The two sides of the fight are ruthless characters, and they will raid their homes and destroy their doors at every turn, and they will be beheaded all over the house.

But this county magistrate is undoubtedly more than them.

If they don't obey, it is estimated that disaster will soon befall them.

After all, yesterday, the Cao, Song, and Bai families had just been raided, and the descendants of the Cao family and the Song family were directly beheaded in public.

How to choose, in fact, it is not difficult to choose.

And Jia Huan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard their words! It's done!

Jia Huan couldn't help but say: "The new law is that the gentry pay grain in one piece, and it is still a tax law, and the land is divided into acres." All the taxes from now on will be spread into the acres. Therefore, one acre of land only needs to pay a tax of one tael of silver. ”

Hearing this number, the fourteen family heads couldn't help but gasp in unison.

The head of the Wang family couldn't help but say: "Lord County Order, this tax is inevitably too high!" ”

Jia Huan couldn't help but ask, "Is this tax high?" ”

The head of the Wang family said in a trembling heart: "Lord County Commander, for our family, this tax is not unpayable, and even if we lose money in the fields, we can earn it in the carriage workshop. ”

"It's just that for those ordinary people, this tax seems to be a little higher!"

Hearing the words of the Wang family master, Jia Huan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He had never farmed, and he had not even experienced it in the countryside.

He also has no specific data reference for the income of the people in this era.

Perhaps, what the head of the Wang family said is really reasonable, and it is not known.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but ask the head of the Wang family: "Master Wang, I don't know how much silver this ordinary person can earn when he plants an acre of land?" ”

Seeing that the county magistrate was humbly asking for advice, he was not ashamed to ask.

The head of the Wang family was flattered, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Qiqi, this acre of land can harvest about five or six hundred catties of grain in a year. ”

"And the price of the grain sold by those people is only about two cents per catty, so their income per mu of land is only more than one tael of silver."

"Thus ......"

Hiss!

Hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but gasp.

The income of the people per acre of land is only more than one or two silver, and they actually want to take it all away at once?

If you really collect it like this, it is really more corrupt than corrupt officials!

But faintly, Jia Huan felt that something was wrong.

He suddenly remembered the record of the Qing Dynasty's "Complete Book of Taxation" that he had read in his previous life.

The standards of land levy in all provinces of the country are different, and the heaviest burdens are the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River and Shaanxi.

The standard of Tianfu in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces is 7 yuan and 3 cents of silver per mu, plus 2 yuan and 1 cent of silver per ding, a total of 9 yuan and 4 cents of silver per mu. In this way, 10 acres of land will have to pay a tax of 9 taels and 4 yuan to the government.

And the government never collects taxes in accordance with regulations, and usually rises by two or three percent.

In fact, ten acres of land in the south of the Yangtze River had to pay about eleven taels of taxes to the government, which was higher than his tax of one tael of silver per acre of land.

If the people of an acre of land only have an income of one tael of silver, wouldn't those people in the south of the Yangtze River all starve to death?

Well, although that is the information of the Qing Dynasty, and now it is the Great Xia Dynasty, it should not be so different.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help asking: "Master Wang, isn't this right, how did I hear that the tax in Jiangnan is as high as one tael of silver per acre?" ”

"If the people can only earn one or two taels of silver per acre of land, then won't the people in Jiangnan starve to death?"

Hearing Jia Huan's questioning, the head of the Wang family hurriedly said: "My lord doesn't know, the Jiangnan area is really twice a year. And they cultivate more delicately, and the income per mu is more than in the north. ”

And they not only grow rice, but also grow mulberry and hemp and other crops, so they can earn two or three taels of silver a year per acre of land. It's not like we're in the Northland. ”

"Now I have a year in the north, and I can earn about one tael of silver a year from one acre of land. If you don't believe me, just ask, and if I have half a lie, I'll be left to your disposal. ”

Is the Northland still ripe every year?

Jia Huan remembers that it seems that in the late Ming Dynasty, with the promotion of summer-sown soybeans, North China began to cultivate three crops in two years.

It seems that the cultivation method of two years and three crops in the Great Summer has not been popularized.

It seems that the income per mu of the people of Ping'an County is only about one or two pieces of silver.

If it weren't for the fact that the head of the royal family had mentioned something, he would have almost caused a catastrophe.

It can be seen that although the official positions of the parents of a county are small, they are also related to the livelihood of tens of thousands of people.

One negligence on your part may lead to tens of thousands of people starving and colding.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but stand up and said deeply to the head of the Wang family: "Thank you for reminding the head of the Wang family, this official almost made a big mistake." ”

The head of the Wang family hurriedly got up and saluted back, and he didn't dare to say anything, and he was terrified.

Jia Huan kindly asked the head of the Wang family to sit down and speak.

After pondering for a while, Jia Huan couldn't help asking, "Ladies and gentlemen, how about this official is going to set the tax of one mu at 200 yuan?" ”

One acre of land, two hundred yuan, is ten taxes and two, and this commission is actually very high.

In many dynasties, the agricultural tax was 1 out of 10 taxes, and in the Han Dynasty, there was even a ratio of 30 taxes to 1.

Most dynasties had more than ten taxes of one.

It seems that Jia Huan's proposed ten taxes are extremely heavy taxes, but don't forget that the past dynasties collected more than just agricultural taxes.

They also charge a lot of other exorbitant taxes.

In the new law of Great Xia, all taxes are integrated into the agricultural tax.

Therefore, the ratio of ten taxes and two is actually not high, and it can even be said to be a very low ratio.

After hearing this ratio, the other heads of the family nodded again and again, and praised Jia Huan for loving the people like a son.
