-----First of all, I wish you good luck! The Seven Fairies and Dong Yonglai are asking you for support! Without your support, it would be difficult for our husband and wife to reunite, and a happy life would be even more out of reach. No one knows our suffering without clicking, we have to sleep on the street without collection, we are black accounts without recommendation, we are Diao people without evaluation, we can't afford breakfast without rewards, we have to be hungry without subscriptions, and we can't afford to take the bus without a monthly pass. Ask for support-----

The weight of popcorn is naturally very different from the weight of rice or rice.

If Dong Yong's father, the director of the dowry for Xiao Dong Yong, has a few loads of rice or rice, but the return gift in the little girl Zhang Na's house is a few loads of popcorn.

So, wouldn't it be strange if a few middle-aged strong men who carried the burden didn't look a lot easier?

Xiao Dong Yong's father-in-law Li Zhiyong's Li Jia Lane is too close to Zhangjia Lane, where you are located.

Even if Dong Yong's father hugged Xiao Dong Yong, as well as Xiao Dong Yong's stepfather and stepmother Li Zhiyong and Li Zhiyong's wife Li Zhang's husband and wife, and a few middle-aged strong men who carried the burden, the group slowly and leisurely, or arrived at Li Zhiyong's house after a while.

Next, it was Xiao Dongyong's father-in-law Li Zhiyong who hugged Xiao Dongyong and entered Li Zhiyong's Li family ancestral hall.

What for?

Naturally, it is to the ancestors of the Li family who are enshrined in the ancestral hall of the Li family where Xiao Dongyong's father-in-law Li Zhiyong is located, "Don't worry, the incense of the Li family will not be cut off, and the economic interests of these old people can be guaranteed, and someone will still burn paper and incense for you in the future, and your economic source will not be cut off." Of course, these are the thoughts in Li Zhiyong's heart. For those ancestors of the Li family who are enshrined in the ancestral hall of the Li family where Li Zhiyong is located, can they know what they think in their hearts...... Li Zhiyong has no bottom in his heart.

The ancestral hall of the Li family where Xiao Dongyong's stepfather Li Zhiyong is located is compared with the ancestral hall of the Zhang family where the little girl Zhang Na is located, and there is no way to compare it at all.

The ancestral hall of the Zhang family where the little girl Zhang Na is located is tall and sturdy, and there are many houses connected to the ancestral hall of the Zhang family where the little girl Zhang Na is located. However, the ancestral hall of the Li family where Xiao Dongyong's father-in-law, Li Zhiyong, is located, but there are only two small houses next to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall of the Li family where Xiao Dongyong's stepfather Li Zhiyong is located and the ancestral hall of the Zhang family where the little girl Zhang Na is located are also ancestral halls, why is there such a big difference?

Speaking of which, the ancestral hall of the Li family where Xiao Dongyong's stepfather Li Zhiyong is located and the ancestral hall of the Zhang family where the little girl Zhang Na is located are also ancestral halls, and the reason why there is such a big difference is that it has a great relationship with the "poll tax".

A poll tax is a tax that is levied on everyone at the same and fixed rate (as opposed to a percentage of income). In the 19th century, this tax was an important tax in many countries

A tax levied by the state on a person. This tax existed as early as the Roman Empire, and in China, it existed before the Qin Dynasty, and after the Qin Dynasty, taxes in the nature of poll taxes were levied. In a self-sufficient natural economy, there are two main channels through which the government obtains fiscal revenue from the peasants: one is the tax levied on the acreage of the land, i.e., the land tax, and the other is the tax levied on the basis of the capitation, i.e., the poll tax. The poll tax is efficient, but the most unfair. By high efficiency, we mean that a large amount of tax can be collected at a small tax cost. Because any country with a good household registration system makes the basis for calculating the poll tax simpler than any other tax, the cost of collecting the tax can be very low. The most unfair means that the richest and the poor, with little income, pay the same amount of taxes, which is regressive. According to the theoretical analysis of welfare economics, in the case of a poll tax, the welfare loss of the rich is negligible, while the poor may lose the most necessary benefits. Compared to other taxes, the poll tax is almost the most unfair. Because of the unfairness of the poll tax, it is almost no longer levied in modern countries.

Could it be that the government at that time returned the poll tax of the clansmen of the Li family to which Dong Yong's stepfather Li Zhiyong belonged and the poll tax of the clansmen of the Zhang family to which the little girl Zhang Na belonged to Dong Yong's stepfather Li Zhiyong and the Zhang family where the little girl Zhang Na belonged respectively, so that Dong Yong's stepfather Li Zhiyong's Li family and the little girl Zhang Na's Zhang family belonged to the Li family family used as the construction fund for their respective family ancestral halls? Dong Yong's stepfather Li Zhiyong's Li family has relatively few clansmen, so the ancestral hall construction fund returned is also relatively small, so the ancestral hall building of the Li family where Dong Yong's stepfather Li Zhiyong is located is relatively small?

O(∩_∩)O Hahaha~,Of course not。

Although it is the significance of the ancestral hall in ancient times, compared with the modern "Hope Project" in China, the ancestral hall in ancient times can also be regarded as the "Hope Project" in ancient times. Isn't it a project of hope?

It's just that the current "Hope Project" is that the government will invest funds, and the attitude of the ancient government towards the ancient "Hope Project" - the ancestral hall is that it neither supports nor fights at it.

Of course, the ancestral hall in the aristocratic family may still be supported by the government, but the ancestral hall in the aristocratic family, although it is actually an ancestral hall, but the ancestral hall in the aristocratic family is called "family temple", and the ancestral hall in the emperor's or king's house is called "Zongmiao".

Although it is said that the ancestral hall building in ancient times may not cost much for modern people. However, if you consider the economic situation at the time, the investment in building the ancestral hall was a considerable burden.

In this way, the ancestral hall building of the common people's families needs to find their own way.

So, where did the money come from to build the family's ancestral hall?

Assessments are almost a must.

Apportionment means that it is proportionally distributed by all people or all parties ["Literature General Examination Hukou I": "The chief official is afraid of losing his household when he is in office, or he is afraid that he will be exempted from taxation, and he will reduce the amount of money, and he will only be apportioned in the current household. Ming Zhang Jingxiu and other "Wenzhong Gong Xingshi": "The wives of poor people can't lose, so they have to be apportioned." "Qing Historical Manuscript: Food and Goods Zhi I": "Apportionment and donation, up and down are difficult. ”】。

Is the apportionment method similar to the poll tax?

The difference is that the apportionment of the government is borne by the people under the jurisdiction of the government (mainly the common people), while the apportionment of the family is borne by the clansmen of the family. Not only that, but the family apportionment of things like building a family ancestral hall is actually different from the poll tax.

So, what is the difference between family apportionment and poll tax for things like building a family ancestral hall?

The poll tax is everyone's share, and the family apportionment for things like building a family ancestral hall is the male in the family [male is also known as Ding Nan, and in the old days it was called an adult male. The origin of the man. After the unification of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty (reigned 265~290), he promulgated the "Decree of Occupying Fields" in 280, stipulating that Ding men (16 to 60 years old) should pay land rent according to 50 mu, and Ding women should pay land rent according to 20 mu. If the head of the household is a second-class male (13 to 15 years old, 61 to 65 years old), the rent shall be paid at 25 acres. Everybody has a share. Of course, the family apportionment of things like building a family ancestral hall does not necessarily require payment of money and food, and labor can also be discounted.

In this way, the ancestral hall of the Li family where Xiao Dongyong's father-in-law Li Zhiyong is located and the ancestral hall of the Zhang family where the little girl is located in Zhang Na are also ancestral halls, and the reason why there is such a big difference is that it comes out.

The Zhang family where the little girl Zhang Na belongs is a relatively large family with a family population of thousands and hundreds of males, while the Li family of Xiao Dongyong's stepfather Li Zhiyong is a small family with dozens of family populations and few men, almost all of whom are passed down from generation to generation. Otherwise, even if Xiao Dongyong's stepfather Li Zhiyong wants to adopt Xiao Dongyong, the clansmen of Li Zhiyong's Li family will not agree.

For what?

There is a saying in our country that "fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders".

"Fertile water does not flow into outsiders' fields" means "benefits cannot be given to outsiders". There are also sayings such as "fertilizer water does not fall into outsiders' fields", "fertilizer water does not flow into other people's fields", "fertilizer water does not flow into other people's fields", "fertilizer water does not flow into outsiders' fields" and so on. But it is generally not said that "fertilizer and water do not leave outsiders' fields".

In the beginning, "fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders" specifically meant that the benefits of the family could not be obtained by people outside the family.

Later, people extended to the relationship between fellow villagers. The relationship between the villagers in China is very special and a very important interpersonal relationship. Since they are fellow villagers, when it comes to some kind of actual interests, "the fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders", and they can only let the insiders in the "circle" "get the moon first near the water". In other words, appropriate "care" must be given in accordance with the principle of "resource sharing". When talking about fellow villagers, we must talk about the region, and the criteria for judging the villagers are divided from the region, and a village, a township, a town, as large as a county, a city, and a province can all be called "villagers." Even when you go to a foreign country and meet people of the same nationality, you can also be called a "fellow countryman". However, the clansmen of Li Zhiyong, the stepfather of Xiao Dongyong, are all passed down for generations, and they are uncertain about whether there will be descendants to inherit their incense, where is there still spare time to care about others, whether "fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders"?

For things like building a family ancestral hall, because the Zhang family where the little girl Zhang Na belongs has a large population and a large number of men, although the money and food borne by each male in the Zhang family where the little girl Zhang Na is located, in fact, it is not as much money and food as each male in the Li family where Xiao Dongyong's stepfather Li Zhiyong is located, but the Zhang family of the little girl Zhang Na, who has a large number of men, has much more money and food in the family ancestral hall than the Li family where Zhiyong is located.

"Money and food are easy to do". Therefore, compared with the ancestral hall of the Zhang family where the little girl Zhang Na is located and the ancestral hall of the Li family where Xiao Dongyong's stepfather Li Zhiyong is located, it is naturally that the ancestral hall of the Zhang family where the little girl Zhang Na is located is tall and strong.

This can also be seen as a concrete embodiment of "more people and more power".
