Yang Ysl is the leader, and he will give him a reward of 100,000 yuan. Yang is generous, I can’t add a small item, so I will add ten updates. Today I will add one chapter, and I will pay back the rest. I used to be the fourth update today, but now I will update another chapter. I used to owe thirteen, but now I still owe thirteen.

Li Chao felt that the tax rate was not high, and the fertility of the Hetao blocked Jiangnan was about 30 taxes.

Thirty taxes are very light. Those powerful people often cover an area of ​​thousands of acres. If they follow the Tang Dynasty’s rent and tax adjustment law, one can only pay two stones of grain per year, and if a large family calculates ten stones of grain per year, they only pay twenty stones of grain per year. If five stones of grain per year, they can actually only pay ten stones of grain per year. Even if other silk and hemp that needs to be collected, the tax will be quite small.

Paying grain according to the population, rather than the amount of land occupied, is the core of the renting system and the biggest disadvantage. After all, one minus two stones of millet seems to be a small amount of rent, but this must be based on the average of 100 acres of land per minus.

If it can really reach one hundred acres, then the rent for one acre of land will be only two liters. This is even less than Li Chao's one acre, one dou two, only one sixth.

But even if the Tang Dynasty really only has 15 million people, it is a very large number to equalize the land based on the number of one hundred acres. The Tang Dynasty could not really equalize the land like this. In most cases, it could not be taught in real terms, especially in the narrow towns, where there are 20 to 30 acres, or even 10 to 8 acres, and some even have no land to be taught.

Even if the land can be recycled, it will have to be collected after someone dies.

Because of this, the rent-and-member tax regulation law with the equal-land system as the core has a huge loophole. This tax system is best for landlords and powerful people. Even if they own thousands of hectares of land, they actually only pay taxes like ordinary people.

Even if there are disguised land taxes such as Yikang and Shekang, they will collect more grain from the landlords and powerful people, but they still bear very little taxes.

This is fundamentally contrary to the tax system. How can people with 1,000 acres of land pay the same tax as people with 100 acres of land? Even people with 10,000 acres of tax and people without land have the same tax. This is too unfair.

For the court, this is not a matter of fairness or not, but involves a more important issue, that is, whether taxes can be collected.

It would be difficult to collect two stones of rent from a landless farmer who had no land. But if you collect from a landlord with a thousand acres of land, it would be easier to collect twenty stones of grain.

As the governor of Shuofang, Li Chao's most important task is to consolidate Lingwu, use it as the base camp, as a base for advancement, and also as a war fortress.

There are eight prefectures beside them and there are powerful Turks in the north.

Li Chao must strengthen his defense here, repair city walls and store food and grass, and there are many things to do. And all of these require money, so where does the money come from?

Li Chao doesn't expect Li Shimin to give him much.

Li Shimin himself was still poor, and he had to pick it out of his mouth for 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

"I just chose a fat sheep. Don't leave at noon and have dinner here together." Li Chao called his proud disciple. Su Dingfang was much better than Niu Jianhu. Those guys, who had been with him for so long, could not stand alone except being able to be the head of the capital.

"Do you eat stewed lamb?"

Su Dingfang asked with a smile, the mutton stewed by Li Chao was very delicious, and those who had eaten it once would definitely think of the second time.

"I won't eat stewed lamb today."

"Why eat grilled lamb? Are whole lamb or grilled lamb kebabs? I still prefer to eat lamb kebabs, using a string of red willow branches and a large skewer, and grilled on the charcoal fire, and sprinkle some cumin. It is fragrant and crispy, and it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I won't say anything, but now I'm saliva."

The kebabs are really delicious, especially if you sprinkle some cumin and some salt. If you add some dogwood sauce carefully prepared by Li Chao, it will be fresh, spicy and spicy, it will be delicious!

Li Chao invited the general manager to eat the school twice, and it immediately became popular in Lingwu City. There are many beefs and sheep in this place, and the grass is beautiful and the sheep is fat. It is very cheap to buy a sheep. The heroic ones are directly served on the whole sheep and grill them, or they are made into mutton kebabs.

If you don’t have skills, you can also stew it directly.

"If you eat too much grilled whole lamb and grilled lamb kebabs, you will get angry. Today I will eat some lighter ones, let's eat mutton hotpot."

"How to eat mutton hotpot? Is it different from stewed mutton?"

"Of course it's different, you'll know in a while."

Li Chao originally planned to have mutton hotpot with Su Dingfang, but when the meal was coming, the nuggets came again.

After a while, Niu Jinda and Guo Xiaoke and others also came.

"Fortunately, I chose a big fat sheep today, otherwise it wouldn't be enough." Li Chao saw that everyone had come, and there was no reason to rush back, so let's eat together.

The pot has been prepared and the base of the soup inside is well cooked. It smells very fragrant from a distance.

Li Chao put a chopping board in front of each of them and threw a piece of fresh mutton to them.

"Master, we are not the Shiwulang and Shiyilang you raise at home. We don't eat raw." Li Junxian and Li Chao were also very familiar with each other, and they were joking with a smile.

"I have to cut it with a knife, and I have to do it. Use a knife to cut it into thin slices. The thinner the better. The thinner it is, the better it tastes better. It depends on your skills."

Li Chao sat at the table by himself, picked up a sharp knife and cut off a thin slice of mutton, picked it up with chopsticks, put it in the pot for a few times. The base soup in the pot had already boiled, and the thin fresh mutton changed color at once. Li Chao only rinsed it a few times before it came out of the pot.

Blow a few times and give it to your mouth, fresh, tender and refreshing!

This way of eating made several people feel very fresh and they all follow suit.

"Oh, hot!"

"Who made you so anxious?"

Guo Xiaoke laughed at Niu Jin for a few words, and then brought the mutton slices that he had blown a few times into his mouth.

"Yeah, delicious."

"I didn't expect it to be so delicious. It's not bad at all than stewed lamb, it's fresher and tenderer!"

Li Chao had already washed the second chopsticks at this time, but he didn't put them into his mouth immediately. Instead, he picked up the sesame sauce he prepared and dipped it for a few times before eating. The mutton flask with sesame sauce made the taste even better.

Niu Jinda was unwilling to suffer losses, and did not dislike Li Chao dipping it. He directly dipped it in with the skewers he had prepared.

"Well, it tastes better with this. Dashun, you can't be so selfish, give us a little too."

"Why do I think the sheep is so delicious today? It's not just that mutton is more delicious, right?" Guo Xiaoke asked Li Chao while busy mutton hotpot.

"Old Guo, you are also a foodie, and you are aware of this. This sheep is indeed not an ordinary sheep. The sheep I eat today is not a sheep from Lingzhou, but a sheep that came from Yanzhou. It is a tribute specially for Liang Shidu. This sheep is called Yanzhoutan sheep."

"San Sheep? What's the difference?"

"This sheep is delicate, has no mutton smell, and tastes delicious. The fat distribution of sheep is evenly distributed. It can be said to be the best among lamb. Moreover, the fur of this sheep is white in color and shiny and pleasing to the eye. It is also the best among fur. The fat sheep we eat is several ordinary sheep." Li Chao explained.

"Do you know what these four major local products in Shuofang are?"

"What?"

"Lingzhou rice, wolfberry, Yanzhoutan sheep and green salt are four major local products and are very famous."

Guo Xiaoke smiled and said, "I don't know how other things are good, but this Yanzhoutan sheep is really good and delicious."

“Not only tastes delicious, but also has the best fur.”

Li Chao put down his chopsticks, picked up a cup of wolfberry water and started drinking slowly.

"Lingwu not only stands in the south of the Yangtze River, but also has a very developed animal husbandry. There are many pastures here, with excellent war horses, and other cattle, horses and mules. I plan to integrate the pastures here and strengthen the control of animal husbandry here."

“Is it necessary?”

"Semi-official and semi-private. I plan to invest in partnership with these local ranchers to run the ranch here together. I wonder if you are interested in joining us?"

Xue Wanche asked, "We are all appointed officials of the imperial court, isn't that good?"

"I plan to impose taxes on the pastures in Shuofang. First, the pasture tax is taxed according to the size of the pasture. In addition, the livestock tax is also imposed. The specific tax rate will be imposed as much as the cattle, sheep, horses, camels and mules. The specific tax rate will be determined at that time. We will spend some money to invest in shares and work with local big and powerful people to strengthen the livestock industry. The more tax the court will collect. Why not do this for the benefit of the country and the people?"

"I am also planning to establish downstream processing workshops, milk powder workshops, cheese workshops, slaughterhouses, leather workshops, wool mills, jerky workshops, etc. Here, make full use of the good pastures here to make the livestock industry bigger. If you enter these processed products into Guanzhong and Henan, you don't have to worry about sales, and you don't have to worry about profits. How about it, are you interested in joining together?"

Several managers were still a little hesitant.

But Li Chao also made it clear that everyone can put things on the surface.

Li Chao will also impose industrial and commercial taxes on these workshops.

"We invest money to build these processing workshops, which can greatly enhance the sales and profits of the ranch. At the same time, we can also make a profit by processing these things to Guanzhong, Zhongyuan and other places. The government can also impose an extra tax, which is equivalent to a win-win and mutual benefit. The ranchers and herders' income increases, processors also make money, and the court has more taxes. Isn't this a good thing for you, I, and everyone?"

As for other things, there is no need to do it yourself. Each company sends people here, and its own managers come forward to take care of these things.

"How to collect this tax?"

"Tax collection is very particular. In short, you can collect a tax at every link. The ranch has to pay taxes, the processing workshop has to pay taxes, and even the caravans have to pay taxes."

"Are all this tax paid to the court?"

Li Chao shook his head. How could he pay the taxes he had worked hard to pay for the imperial court? He did this, but the most important thing was that he wanted to have money to use it. He hoped that the Jiedu Mansion would have more funds.

"If I think about it this way, one-third of the tax collected by the state yamen, one-third of the Jiedushi yamen, and one-third of the remaining one-third are handed over to the court. In this way, the upper and lower parts will be more abundant, and it will not be so hard to do things."

Niu Jinda is the chief marching officer and also the governor of a state in Shuofang Town. Therefore, he is quite supportive of Li Chao's tax plan. Everyone knows that it is easier to do things with money. If you are a governor, if you have more money, it is easier to be a governor.

"Master, you are going to re-establish a complete set of tax methods in Shuofang. Will this be too big?"

From the two taxes on the land to the current industrial and commercial tax, they are different from the tax system of the court. Although Shuofang is a war zone and Li Chao, the governor, has the right to act cheaply, this has also changed a lot.

"Well, before the specific implementation, I will report to Your Majesty. I believe Your Majesty can also see the benefits here and will allow us to try it out in Shuofang first."

"Master, there is another question. These new tax systems are very rude to these powerful people in Shuofang. Can they agree?"

"It is best for them to agree, but it is better not to agree. We have a legitimate reason to directly fight the local tyrants and divide the land?" Li Chao said with a smile.

"Well!"
