Chapter 448: There is a shortage of taxes, hidden dangers of money and grain

"I remember that there was no problem with the tax collection of the Dian County in the last year, but I got very little. Most of the money and grain were taken from the taxes of Guanjin to the caravan, the municipal taxes, and the mutual market led by the government. It can be seen that the border trade is important to the Dian County. You said that money and grain will be affected, so should the border army hinder the mutual market?"

There are two types of land rent in the new Han Dynasty. One is simple land rent, and the other is called household adjustment. The corresponding laws are called "household adjustment style".

Among them, land rent is tax, and households are transferred to tax, which together means tax.

The land rent in the New Han Dynasty stipulates that the rent of land for 50 acres of people will be reduced by half as much as the household of a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is a man who is

Different situations were also considered, and it was stipulated that the border counties may be two-thirds, and the distance was one third. The barbarians would be one horse, and the distance was one meter.

Simply put, it is to collect land rent based on the property of the family based on the property, which is mostly physical. However, considering that many households are tenants of wealthy families, their own land is getting less and less, which is beneficial to the user's method of transferring the land. They directly collect taxes based on the heads to open up wealth.

However, this is a general rule, including many detailed rules, such as changes in different regions and different historical periods, rent reduction after natural disasters, and subdivisions of male and female students, etc.

Even in local areas, government offices at the prefecture and county levels still have certain authority to make the situation by themselves. After all, communication is not timely enough. In many cases, everything is changed and decided by the court, which may be too late.

On the other hand, after Xuanwu unified the north and south, as time passed, the local land ownership situation became more and more complicated. To this day, in order to increase fiscal revenue, the court refused all the people and gave more and more additional taxes and overlaps. The same law stipulates that it is repeatedly charged under different names, and the pressure on the people is increasing.

This situation is particularly obvious in the northern states. On the one hand, local disasters are caused, and a large amount of money and grain are needed to recover, but production is damaged, people are displaced, and the income of money and grain continues to decrease. In Youzhou, there are also troubles of the plunder of the Hu people. If you want to maintain the situation, you must increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

Trade in this border naturally became the top priority, and was valued by local governments and was taken from it.

Su Liao emphasized this now. After hearing Chen Zhi's inquiry, he immediately replied: "General Wang Quan, I'm afraid he has some thoughts about this. Under the instigation of Wu Jie, he has made some plans! You must be careful! You must not ignore it. The master is deceived to make a decision as soon as possible to avoid regretting it!"

"You can tell you what Liu Bao told you first and explain it to me first." Chen Zhi stopped Su Liao with an anxious expression and frowned and asked.

"Liu Bao didn't know the specific situation clearly, but he expressed his interests," Su Liao took out a note from his arms and handed it over. "This time, General Wang from the border army summoned the young generation of several major families in Daijun. He wanted to make three rules with them. In the end, he was half-forced and sent someone to send them back. Liu Bao sent his son over, but his son was also monitored and it was difficult to spread news, so the content was simple."

Chen Zhi nodded and took the note while saying, "Wang Quan's call was Wu Jie in the middle. Liu Bao had been angry with me before, and now he came to report it as soon as possible, indicating that he really wanted to surrender." While speaking, he looked down at the note in his hand.

Su Liao said on the side: "But as far as the subordinates know, the situation in the Liu family is relatively complicated, and Liu Bao can only represent a part of the people. Otherwise, they would not have to send people to the border army at all."

"Is it normal for a big family? Especially for the Liu family who are in the rising stage. Because there are many heroes in the clan and have some careers, they have their own voice in the clan. When they encounter things, they often have different opinions and intentions," Chen Zhi put down the note and shook his head and said, "However, Wang Quan is determined to take my seven inches this time. He wants to invest the manpower and material resources of the Dai County family into the so-called forging building, which is to absorb the blood of the entire Dai County."

Su Liao showed concern and said, "After several wars, the entire Dai County is located on the border. There are very few scattered households left, and most of them belong to the aristocratic families. If the aristocratic families are sucked by the border army, the entire Dai County is indeed sucked by the blood, which will seriously affect the prefect's plan."

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "Well, it's not bad, but this is actually what I was worried about at first. The special situation in Dai County has made the aristocratic family control the people too deeply, almost everywhere. Their words may be more useful than the government. If there is a conflict between the government and the aristocratic family in the future, and the aristocratic family unite, it can easily undermine the aristocratic family."

"I originally wanted to divide, win over, and finally disintegrate the aristocratic family. Now it seems difficult to achieve. With the so-called forging building, I can absorb the blood of the aristocratic family in a legitimate way," Su Liao glanced at Chen Zhi, "This strategy is definitely not what Wang Quan thought of. Judging from the previous situation, although General Wang did not have the intention to be close to you, at least he did not have the idea of ​​confronting you, otherwise he would not cooperate so much in the matter of the Huns."

"The invasion of the Huns is also related to his official position, and it is normal to perform," Chen Zhi laughed. "His current behavior is probably related to the invasion of the Huns. He wants to protect himself and make contributions. The aristocratic family was attracted by him. At first, they may not be willing to do so. Once they boarded the pirate ship, they could only work together. I just don't know if we have any possibility of stopping it. If not, or if it cannot be stopped, how can we turn the situation around as soon as possible."

Su Liao looked worried, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I know that you have your own plan, and you don't plan to rely on the aristocratic family, but you still need the necessary utilization. What's more, a large part of the wealth income of the Dai County government is obtained through border trade and trade. In this case, the aristocratic family car fleet needs to be helped. If General Wang Quan's plan comes true, the power of the aristocratic family will be concentrated. Over time, the border trade will be in his hands, and the government's income will be sharply reduced!"

"I also learned about this part. During the handover, some files were recorded," Chen Zhi nodded, recognizing Su Liao's concerns. "The fur, cattle, sheep, and even horses of the grassland tribe are traded directly with Dai County through trading. Dai County needs to provide some handicrafts, grain, and other trivial matters, and there is also a trade in salt and tea in Youzhou."

"Yes, the entire Youzhou is engaged in border trade with the grassland. Dai County accounts for a small proportion of its land because of its barren land. However, the taxes on border trade in the country account for nearly 50% of Dai County's income!" Su Liao's expression became more and more serious, "Border trades will attract merchants from the Central Plains. Their convoys will be transferred to Guanjin after passing through the government's management card."

"But if the aristocratic families pass through border troops and trade with the grassland, they can save some of the taxes they should pay in the name of military strategists," Chen Zhi understood the key points, "Once there is no money, there is nothing to do."

As the prefect, of course, he cannot take back the money back to his home, but he can be consumed directly in the local area in the name of the government to lay the foundation. Moreover, to maintain the operation of the government and to change people's livelihood, he must not lack money.

Especially the finances on this frontier are actually quite special in the New Han Dynasty. This is because the prefects on the frontier have a certain right to command troops. Due to the relationship between transportation and communication, if the prefects are not given the power to act cheaply, when the country falls, it will be too late. There are many examples in the past. Therefore, the prefects on the frontier actually have soldiers under their command.

However, the imperial court generally won’t help you raise this soldier, so where does the money come from? In addition to the funding from the higher-level prefecture yamen, local finances are required to support it.

In addition, whether it is to go to school or encourage farming, no one can leave money and no income, so let’s not raise anything.

After thinking about it, Chen Zhi said: "I have my own opinions on border trade. Maybe it will take not long to have new trade items. At that time, these aristocratic families will come to find me, and the plans of the border troops will be destroyed."

"A new thing for trade?" Su Liao was stunned, but did not ask much. After more than a year, he knew the style of the master's behavior. After the arrangement was similar, the person would announce it himself.

Sure enough, Chen Zhi said next: "It was going to be a while before this matter was sent, but the people from Xia Pi were sent, and there were two Mo people. With their help, they could start construction early. As for the thoughts of the aristocratic families, it would be better to wait and see what changes happened first. This is a good opportunity to investigate. Among the several aristocratic families, which one can support and which one should be suppressed will be a result soon."

Su Liao nodded and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, there is another problem. I am also verifying this matter, but there are already signs that in addition to part of the taxes in Dai County, there is also a large amount of expenditure, which is likely to be provided to the General's Mansion!"

"This is not an accident," Chen Zhi had already considered this aspect. "Lu District relied on Wang Jun's support and has always been regarded as Wang Jun's iron rod in Youzhou. Most of the power of Lu District comes from Wang Jun's guarantee. Of course, he has to repay it. Receiving it every year is the most direct method and the best choice. In fact, when I handed over, I found clues in some files."

Chen Zhi stretched out a finger and flicked it gently on the table, saying, "In the past three years as the prefect, Lu District has promoted many changes. Starting from suppressing the Tang family and winning over the Liu family, he has continuously helped the aristocratic families to obtain land and people and develop industries. In this process, the government has gained a lot of benefits. The most intuitive thing is the income from money and grain. A large part of this part of the money and grain he earned was worshipped to Wang Jun. These can be found in the file."

"This is exactly what my subordinates are worried about," Su Liao said seriously: "Now that the Lord has just taken office, Wang Jun has not said anything, but it is about to fall. The court will not evaluate the Lord's political achievements this year, but the taxes are still the same. This is also the right thing to do. I am afraid that Wang Jun will be in trouble. According to the rules and habits of the past, let Dai County provide most of the money and grain as a sacrifice. What should we do at that time?"
