The court issued a new edict.

All households in the world, their assets are determined to be ninth grade, and they will be destroyed every three years.

Households are divided into ranks, which have also started since the Northern Dynasties. Households are divided into nine levels according to family assets. Many policies of the court were implemented according to this level. For example, the system of government troops started from the Western Wei Dynasty, which was only selected from the middle-class and above wealthy households.

Even if you are a member of the Yao family, it is related to the family. The court has a law that allows you to be rich and strong first and then poor, and you will be more and less.

In short, it is definitely not something to be praised for being a top-class household these days. On the contrary, top-class households mean that they have to bear more responsibilities.

The Zhang family was rated as the top household by the government, and was still the top household with the ninth grade.

Evaluation of households and so on is to calculate assets, divisions, slaves, livestock, fields, houses, vegetable gardens, cars and horses. The local governments, like checking household registration, have to update every three years, counties, prefectures and provinces must archive them, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Shangshu Province must archive them for nine years, that is, twenty-seven years.

The Zhang family is now very rich and very rich. The land alone has more than 1,300 acres, and there are also 1,200 acres of Lintang Gully slopes, several houses, and ten servants. There are more than 200 cattle and horses, which are standard wealthy families.

The county magistrate ordered the Zhang family to get a household registration the day before, and the next day he sent a list to the Zhang family.

Pay taxes, local taxes.

Two liters of grain per mu plus five stones.

Looking at this list, Zhang Chao was very sad and distressed. Why did the people of the Tang Dynasty do this? How did they choose rich people to bully them? Last time they used war taxes and fundraising, Zhang Chao was drained more than 100 chunks of blood. Now that they have to settle for a higher-up household, they will have to spend a lot of blood.

The Zhang family now has more than 1,300 mu of land, which costs two liters per mu. This is more than 26 stones. In addition, it also requires five stones, which will cost more than 31 stones.

This grain is still unavoidable. Even if my father is a soldier or an officer, he is a householder without a lecture, but this grain is not enough.

This grain is actually not considered imperial grain. It is commonly known as land tax, but it is actually officially called Yichuang Grain.

Yicang was founded during the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty. The original intention of Yicang was to be organized by the state to reserve privately for the purpose of disaster relief and self-help.

The court asked local people to pay grain according to households and other households every autumn, and handed it over to the government, and it was stored in the charity warehouse to prepare for famines. When the famine is in the time of famine, the court opened the charity warehouse to help the victims.

In essence, the original intention of establishing this charity warehouse is very good.

However, although the charity warehouse is collected by the people themselves, it is not possible to open the warehouse at will when the disaster is really the year of disaster. You have to ask the court to ask for permission before opening the warehouse. Moreover, those who pay more grain cannot share more.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Li family also began to set up Yi Cang in various places, and the constitution was similar to the Sui Dynasty.

The standard for raising grain is to take two liters per mu, and then it has to be based on households, and those high-quality households and merchants need to take more.

Zhang Chao received more than 20 stones, which was calculated as two and a half liters per mu, which was equivalent to one-twentieth of the Zhang family’s land rent income. Unlike the national tax, renting and placing the country, the charity warehouse was calculated as the land tax, and the number of exemptionees was also inevitable, and even the military officers in the government could not be exempted.

Twenty-year-old stone grain is not a big burden for Zhang Chao now. But Zhang Chao just doesn’t like this kind of random extra taxes, and it was said that the Tang Dynasty had a low tax.

The grain in this charity warehouse has to be paid every year, and it cannot be reduced every year. It is collected based on the land acres, and a household has to be added to collect it, which is a pain.

However, it is still necessary to pay it. Nowadays, whether it is a landlord in the countryside or a wealthy businessman in the city, he can't twist the thighs of the court.

Fortunately, the grain price is low now, and the Zhang family has no grain, so they just buy the grain and pay it.

Thinking about it, Zhang Chao still felt unfair. His family had just purchased more than 1,000 acres of land. The crops in the field still belonged to the former owner and would not be officially returned to him until next summer, but now he has to pay the grain on acre.

"Ma Account, what is the current price of grain?"

Zhang Chao stood outside the yard, his hands were wrapped in his fox sleeves, his neck was surrounded by a fox fur scarf, and a fox fur hat on his head. He looked like a landlord with a wealthy appearance.

"When I returned to my home, the price of grain has been stable recently. Now it is basically about 80 cents a dou of japonica rice, the price of wheat is equivalent, and the price of corn is fifty-five cents a dou of corn."

Zhang Chao nodded. This year, the grain price in Chang'an has plummeted. It has dropped from the peak of 500 rice to the current 80 rice. I don't know how many unscrupulous merchants who hoarded grain went bankrupt.

Zhang Chao himself also fell into a big flaw. The more than 500 stone corn he bought in the early stage directly lost more than 2,000 stagnant. The little money he had sold pastry before was almost filled in the hole.

After calculating, Zhang Chao lost more than 10,000 yuan to pay more than 20 stone grain this time.

Now Zhang Chao is a man who spent all his savings on his family by buying Zhao's land last time. Then these days, he bought Niu Buy Gowls and built houses and workshops, and spent money like flowing water.

I bought a ditch slope for 1,000 guan, and I bought a bull for about 3,000 guan.

The cost of repairing cellars and workshops and building shops is nearly a thousand guan.

Ma Zhou dutifully reminded Zhang Chao that the Zhang family had already had a deficit.

The deficit is still a way for Zhang Chao to keep accounts by teaching Ma Zhou, using red ink to record debts.

The Zhang family has already lost 5,000 yuan to stake money.

If Zhang Chao hadn't been to the Qin family with shamelessness and borrowed some money, the Zhang family's new kilns and workshops would have been suspended.

Zhang Chao, who is in debt of more than 5,000 stag, is now very sensitive to paying accounts.

"The boss, the shenkang is also urging us to pay grain. When will we send the grain?"

Zhang Chao frowned as he heard this, what's the point?

During the Sui Dynasty, Yicang was also called the Shekang, and Yicang Shekang was the same thing. However, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a Shekang in addition to the Shekang. Yicang was managed by the government to pay grain by the people, and the Shekang was also the Shekang, but it was a reserve granary managed by the township itself for disaster relief.

Or because during the Sui Dynasty, those charity warehouses did not play a good role in disaster relief, the people were willing to collect some grain and build a warehouse, so that in the event of a disaster, they could open the warehouse immediately without having to wait as hard as the charity warehouse.

The social warehouse is basically a village and one warehouse, hosted by landlords and gentry who are highly regarded by the people in the country.

The charity warehouse is a liter of two liters per mu, while the social warehouse is a liter of one liter of per mu.

In addition, big players also need to be rich.

Zhang Chao now dislikes many systems of the Tang Dynasty, for example, the wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty seemed to be particularly discriminated against.

The Tang Dynasty court had no imperial power under the county. There were three levels of grassroots in the county, but there were townships but no township heads. Only five villages were taking turns to preside over the duty. Not only did there be no township officials, but there were not even yamen like township governments and offices. The people on duty went to the county government and listened to the task, responsible for assisting the county in handling the affairs of the township, recruiting taxes and arresting thieves and even litigation, all of which had to be involved.

But there is no public service.

Education, medical care, health, transportation, etc., don’t even think about it.

If you want to build a road, the court will not be able to withdraw money. If you want to run a school, the court will not be able to withdraw money, let alone anything else.

In the countryside, the local clans and gentry and landlords became the sky.

This day is not entirely power, it is more about obligation.

If the village wants to build a road, but if there is no money, what should we do? The people will work hard, and then the big families will pay. If you want to build a bridge, the same is true for you to find big families to raise funds.

To study a school, you still have to find a big family.

Even if the people have a dispute, they rarely go directly to the county government office, or find a wealthy person to preside over the presidency.

When villagers are in urgent need of money, they still borrow money from big investors.

Anyway, these days, the big people in the village are simply omnipotent, both judges and bankers.

If you are generous and always respond to your requests, you can gain a reputation of good deeds and kindness. If you refuse to contribute, you are not kind.

These days, it is very difficult to be a landlord.

The Yi Cang just finished producing more than twenty stones of grain, and the social warehouse had to produce another fifteen stones.

Moreover, Masato Rimazu and the landlords and villagers also unanimously requested Zhang Chao to be the new warehouse manager of the warehouse, and his former warehouse manager was sick and unable to be the director.

Zhang Chao was not interested in the location of the warehouse management of the warehouse. He had no salary and no benefits. What was the point of Bali? If the grain was moldy and damaged and stolen by rats, he had to take responsibility. If he did it well, he would not be praised.

But it was impossible to refuse. Everyone said that Zhang Sanlang was young and smart and managed the Zhang family well. If he handed over the social warehouse to Zhang Chao to manage, he would definitely be able to manage it well, and everyone would rest assured.

Ma Zhou smiled and said, "No one in Bashang knows Zhang Sanlang now. Everyone praises you for being righteous and will respond to your request."

Zhang Chao was amused and crying, "This is not a good reputation. If this reputation spreads, it will be difficult for me to be a bad person in the future, hey."

"Then will the boss accept or refuse to be the warehouse manager of this company?"

"Come on, how can I not accept it? Everyone expected it." Zhang Chao sighed. It was not cold on snowy days and the snow was cold. It was gloomy and there was no sun on this day. The air turned into frost. No matter how much I wore it, I felt cold all over.

"I've thought about it. Since everyone asks me to do this warehouse manager, I'll take it. But I'm very busy. After I think about it, you will be managed by the Ma Account Office in the future. Anyway, there is only two or three thousand stones of grain in the warehouse. There is no entry or exit in normal times, so you can take care of it. For specific care, there are also arrangements for villagers to take turns to guard it."

Since he couldn't push it away, Zhang Chao wouldn't push it anymore. But Zhang Chao was a landlord with thousands of acres of land, so how could he do everything himself? He still had his subordinates. Ma Zhou was very suitable, just let him take charge of it.

"Oh, it's so cold, I'll go back to the house and go on the kang."

Zhang Chaochang started to go back to the house, leaving Ma Zhou alone standing in the cold wind. This boss is too unreasonable and bullying honest people. I am alone in charge of all the accounts of the Zhang family, both in charge of the accounts and money, and now I have to let me manage the social warehouse, which is too unreasonable.

"Boss, I'm asking for a salary increase!"

Zhang Chao didn't reply, "You can consider this requirement. You can do it first. If it is done well, I will consider it."
