Chapter 83 is exempt from taxation
The two of them discussed the details of the extermination of the Liukou, and this car would mobilize all the forces of the county.
Cao Bin also knew that it was the county's mismanagement that caused the rogues to commit such a bad incident.
almost leveled the Honghou Mansion, and the court will be strictly accountable.
Only by exterminating those rogues can they make up for their mistakes.
Cao Bin sent someone to inform the county order, and he first decided to let Liu Zhang ask for help.
"Honorable Prince, wait until you destroy these rogues and what you have gained. The county government is divided equally with you, what do you think? β
"Yes, I don't want horses, cattle and other livestock for captured weapons and armor. I want half of the copper coins and grain. β
Liu Zhang's request was not too much, and Cao Bin nodded and agreed.
In this way, it can make up for the loss of the Honghou Mansion, and it also makes Liu Zhang angry.
Cao Bin got Liu Zhang's reply, and he stopped bothering.
Liu Zhang asked the guards and slaves who were not seriously injured to inform the village chiefs that he had an important matter to announce.
This time the crisis of the Red Marquis Mansion, they did their best to protect it.
Liu Zhang will not treat them badly, the Honghou Mansion and these people are in a win-win and coexisting relationship.
The village chiefs came to the Honghou Mansion Square, and Liu Zhang stood on the high platform in the center of the square.
"This time, the Honghou Mansion was besieged by the Liukou, thank you for guarding the Honghou Mansion without fear of danger. I declare once again that the people of the Red Marquis State shall be exempted from taxes and forced labor for one year. β
Then they will be given some food as a pension, and they did not pay in vain this time.
Liu Zhang also calculated, exempting more than 30,000 households from taxes for one year.
He personally had to pay 9 million dollars to the government on their behalf, and he had to pay additional expenses for the exemption from forced labor.
Then it will cost money to hire people to complete the task of conscription, and Liu Zhang will send someone to hand over this year's taxes to the county government.
He paid the taxes for the people, and within a year the people were less burdened.
"Long live the Honorable Lord! Long live the Marquis......"
When the village chiefs heard Liu Zhang's announcement that the people of the Honghou State would be exempted from taxes and forced labor for one year, they were extremely excited.
It's okay for them to shout like this, and shouting long live in the Han Dynasty represents joy and victory.
It was not the emperor's special title, and they were also honored by the decision to defend the Red Marquis Mansion at that time.
"Your Excellency, those rogues have fled. We want to exterminate them as soon as possible, and ask the prince to tell us what to do. β
"Lieutenant Cao has discussed with me, and tomorrow I will follow them to exterminate the remaining rogues."
This time, it is necessary to completely eliminate the trouble of the rogues, so that the people of the Red Marquis Kingdom can live a stable life.
Liu Zhang's decision won the support of the people, and the imperial court would not be short of taxes anyway.
The village chiefs waited for Liu Zhang's instructions, and they really wanted to tell the good news to the people of the villages as soon as possible.
They believed that the Red Marquis was a great benevolent man, and it was estimated that he was the only one who was willing to exempt the feudal people from taxes and forced labor.
Then they will be much better in the next year, and the village chiefs will be deeply concerned with Liu Zhang.
"Next, we need to prepare for the drought."
It has been sunny for many days on the side of the Red Marquis, and if it doesn't rain again.
Crops in the field will be severely affected. Make good use of the water of the five rivers.
This will require everyone to work together to fight the disaster and ensure a bumper harvest this autumn.
What everyone is most concerned about is whether there will be a bumper harvest this year, and every year it will be either floods or floods.
Grain production is reduced to varying degrees, and in the event of a large locust plague.
If the harvest is out in half a year or even a year, then they will starve again.
The grain production was not high, so they exchanged old grain for high-yield crop seeds from the Honghou Mansion.
According to the one-to-one quantity, they felt that Honghou was a little at a loss.
"I have summoned you here to exempt you from taxes and servitude for a year. Second, in order to cooperate with the government's extermination of the rogues this time, the government will give you money and food. β
The government did not have enough manpower, so it could only organize the people to participate in the extermination of the rogues.
I hope that the village chiefs will go back and talk to everyone, and I will not force everyone to participate.
"The lord takes care of us so much, and we will definitely obey the lord's command."
Although it is dangerous to deal with the rogues, if you don't exterminate them.
The next time the rogue will loot their village, and no one will be left alone.
They believed that the rogues were barbaric and murderous, in order to defend their homeland.
They had to fight back against the rogues without hesitation, and they couldn't live up to Hong Hou's care for them.
"We can't fight hard to deal with the rogues, we just need to cooperate with the government. You have to convey what I mean, and this time you don't force it. β
Liu Zhang felt that some young and middle-aged people would participate this time, and the government would give some money and food as rewards.
"I don't have anything else to order, you go back and inform everyone."
The village chiefs heard that Liu Zhang had no other orders, and they left one after another.
In the evening, the people of the villages listened to the chief announce the good news.
They cheered with joy, and they shouted "Long live the Lord."
This was the happiest thing they had ever encountered this year, and they knew that it was not a tax exemption from the imperial court.
Liu Zhang had to pay their taxes for a year, and they were very grateful to him.
They thought that they had not repaid their kindness to Liu Zhang, and they owed him another favor.
The second news announced by the village chiefs is that each village has organized young and middle-aged people to participate in the eradication of the rogues.
This operation is not mandatory, and all participants will be rewarded with official uniforms.
As soon as the news was announced, many young and middle-aged people enthusiastically signed up.
They did this not for the reward of the official uniform, but to repay Liu Zhang.
The people sang and danced happily, they slaughtered chickens and ducks, and then put on fine wine to celebrate.
When night fell, Liu Zhang went to visit Chen Yun.
Chen Yun was lying on the bed, when he saw Liu Zhang walking up to him.
He is really happy, he misses Lang Jun every day.
"You lie still and you're doing a good job during this time. Next, take care of your injuries and don't put yourself in danger in the future. β
Liu Zhang didn't blame her in the slightest, she used her actions to prove that she wanted to live and die with the Honghou Mansion.
"What requirements do you want? Anyway, I'll do my best to be satisfied. β
"Lang Jun, this is what I should do. I'm your fiancΓ©e and I just want to do better. β
Chen Yun has been working hard, and the injury this time is not light.
Let him worry about himself, she would feel pain in the wound if she moved a little now.
"The wound is still a little painful, you have to rest for a few days. What do you want to eat? That said, I wish you a speedy recovery. β
Liu Zhang stroked her hair, she had several injuries on her body.
I almost lost such a good wife, she is smart, brave, studious, and knows right from wrong.
She usually doesn't make noise or noise, and keeps the house in order.
As for her shortcomings, they are not so obvious.
If I have to say it, she is a little selfish.
She did this to consolidate her position and win the favor of Lang Jun.
In this way, she has a strong support, and she also knows how to calculate.
She generally does not harm the interests of others, let alone hurt others.
"It's getting hotter and hotter, Lang Jun promised me before. Make me ice cream, I wonder if I can eat it now? β
"You're injured now, and you'll be almost healed. I'll make you ice cream to eat, and you'll be able to eat all kinds of fruits later. β
There are various fruit and ice cream toppings in the subspace watch, and the life of the people of the Honghou Mansion is definitely much better than that of other nobles.
"Today I announce that the people of the Red Marquis Kingdom will be exempted from taxes and forced labor for one year."
The annual tax of 10,000 households in the Honghou State is more than 4 million yuan. As long as you pay a tenth of the contribution fee to the imperial court.
The remaining nine-tenths are Honghou's own, and there are more than 20,000 other households in Honghou's country.
The 20,000 households were not under his name, and they also participated in the defense of the Honghou Mansion this time.
He also decided to help them waive taxes for one year, which was an astronomical amount for the Honghou Mansion.
"More than 30,000 households in the Honghou Kingdom are exempt from taxes for one year, except for the income that Lang Jun deserves. Lang Jun had to pay nearly 10 million yuan for them, and Lang Jun made this decision a little impulsively. β
Chen Yun quickly calculated in his heart, and his calculation was not much worse.
Nearly 10 million yuan is not a small amount, although Honghou Mansion has a lot of money.
Now that he's announced, it's time to make good on his promise.
I hope that such a decision will not be announced in the future, and the Red Marquis may not be able to afford it.
"I've also thought about it, and there will be gains if there are losses. You have to trust me, I will gain more than I will lose when the time comes. β
Liu Zhang will not do anything that suffers, and he can win the hearts of the people.
He can also obtain more benefits for himself, and nearly 10 million yuan will be handed over to the local government.
He was indeed a little reluctant, but he couldn't let the people who helped the Honghou Mansion work in vain.
It is also in their best interest to give them such a return.
"I will personally record this expenditure in the accounts, and you will have to recuperate during this time."
Liu Zhang is very confident that he will inevitably get several times the return in the future.
Chen Yun did believe in him and supported his decision.
The people of the Red Marquis Kingdom will be grateful to him, but I don't know if the court will be unhappy because of this?
