Chapter 906: Two and a half

Li Shunju was confused again: "What do you mean?"

Su You wrote a line of small words and pushed it over: "How about this message?"

Li Shunju looked at it, and there were only ten words on it - "Fifteen acres per acre, two and a half cents in taxes."

"What do you mean?"

"Taking it literally, how about the Song Dynasty's promise to the people of Champa? I was too embarrassed to write about the tax exemption for the first three years, mainly because I took into account the feelings of the people in Jiaozhi County."

Li Shunju murmured: "You are... using the guise of the Transportation Department to do Wang Xiaobo's trick of balancing the rich and the poor..."

Su You quickly stopped: "Don't talk nonsense. Let the tillers have land. Isn't this the dream and ambition that every scholar-official should have? If the people of Champa can achieve this goal, I will feel very honored and proud."

Li Shunju folded the note and said: "Amitabha, this is really a great merit. If you release these ten words, you won't be able to eat the pot of pulp to welcome Master Wang?"

"Thinking too much." Su You said with a smile: "But it's better than nothing, right? If the governor has no objection, I will let the "Nanhai Times" publish an editorial article to popularize the Song Dynasty's tax system to the people of Jiaozhi County.

And, the Song Dynasty’s policy of embracing mature territories.”

Li Ruoyu smiled and said: "Are you here for the people of Jiaozhi County? Moreover, the tax system of the Song Dynasty is so complicated, can you explain it clearly in a small article?"

Su You said: "Our land system in the Song Dynasty was roughly divided into two categories: civilian land and official land. Official land paid rent, and private land paid taxes. The two-tax law was implemented. Generally speaking, the north paid one dou per mu per year, and the south paid three dou per mu per year."

"In addition, there are many local boss money, warehouse tax, agricultural equipment tax, cow leather and tendon dime, Jinji money, silkworm salt money, Quyin money, and now there are city regulations, and there are many new ways to exempt people from labor.

."

"If all these burdens are added together, it will be heavy."

"But how much of these things are actually paid by farmers? And how much can they actually collect? In the Song Dynasty, people paid taxes every three years for two years. Resistance to taxes became a 'routine', and no one in the past dynasties has done so."

Of course, these are only the burdens of the landlords. They fall on the tenants, adding another layer of exploitation.

"In this case, why not just dispense with it? The people in Cochin Champa are simple-minded, and they can't understand it even if it is said in so many details."

"So we divide the two-year rent by three, which is the standard for two Zhejiang roads, and calculate it as an average for one year, which is 2:5, which is quite a lot."

In fact, Su You has not done very well in this area, and he has never directly touched such a tough person as Hidden Hideki.

He has always adopted a roundabout strategy, first acquiring a large amount of land that he can control, and developing various industries that devour the proportion of the population.

Then the hidden households in the local area spontaneously and enthusiastically emerged. After the hidden households emerged, the population cultivating the hidden land dropped sharply, and the landlords could not make money from holding the land, and the problem had to be exposed.

Then the government mixes it into the results of land reclamation, purchases, transforms, and redistributes it, saying hello to me, hello to everyone.

As a result, the local taxable acres increased significantly, the population also exploded, and all the officials had excellent performance evaluations. Xiao Su Shaobao had an outstanding political voice, and he was ranked first among officials in the world.

Li Shunju kindly reminded: "Mingrun, you have to be careful. Back then, Li Shizhong was tax-free in Guangnan without authorization and was reported by the imperial censor. However, he was fined a salary and demoted once."

Su You said: "So these ten words are for the common people to read. When they are shown to Zhongshu and officials, they have to explain in detail, how to calculate the two points and five points, break them up and crush them

Let’s explain it to them.”

"But don't worry, Inspector. I guess even His Majesty and the Prime Minister can't understand it. Please ask the Third Division to set up a special case to verify it. Maybe they will find it too troublesome."

Compared with the local land tax alone, two and a half is already very high. However, Jiaozhi is a land of three-level familiarity, and Suyou has abolished all exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The happiness index of the people of Jiaozhi is actually directly behind that of Liangzhe Road and Shuzhong.

Folks have begun to secretly build shrines for Su You again. Su You cracks down hard as always, and then there are policies and countermeasures. This time, the god who protects the people of South China Sea has become the teacher of the third prince, the Dragon King of South China Sea.

The third prince of Nanhai, Master Long Shaobao! Wearing a purple robe and the futou of an official of the Song Dynasty! He said that he was going to the Jade Emperor in heaven, how dare he believe it?!

One acre and fifteen acres, two and a half cents on taxes!

"Nanhai Times" published a commentator's article. The second anniversary of Jiaozhi Road's return to the Song Dynasty is approaching. For the sake of the people's happy life, the officials of Jiaozhi Road have been sorting out policies and ideas suitable for regional development. In order to allow Jiaozhi people to officially become registered households

The people of Qi have made great preparations.

After consultations between all parties, the most extensive collection of opinions and suggestions, and after fighting with Zhongshu, coupled with His Majesty's kindness, the Ding tax in the Jiaozhi area was finally set at two and a half cents per mu per quarter!

The paddy fields in Jiaozhi are generally harvested three times a year, but His Majesty set such a low tax rate specifically considering that people's livelihood in Jiaozhi area is still very difficult, people's income is generally low, and their savings are not abundant.

The Jiaozhi Road Transport Department, in response to His Majesty's call, also exempted the head's money, warehouse tax, agricultural equipment tax, cattle leather and tendon dimes, import money, silkworm salt money, Quyin money, market exchange money, and exemption from labor service as a whole on this basis.

Money, leftover money and other excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes!

The Jiaozhi Road Transfer Department will provide sufficient exchange currency for Jiaozhi Road. People can make profits for themselves by selling excess products. In addition to paying grain, they can also pay copper coins.

As support, the government will not levy additional taxes on the production of silk, natural glue, pepper, spices, etc., to encourage people to open up wasteland and develop industries in addition to growing food.

In view of the relatively dense population in Jiaozhi County and the insufficient local land allocation, the government encourages everyone to immigrate to Meizhou, where there is still endless land for farming!

It is hoped that the people of Jiaozhi will carry forward the style of hard work, absorb the advanced farming technology and handicraft technology of the Song Dynasty, let their children read and read, and bravely choose a better life for themselves.

Regarding the issue of stable operation of the government, please do not worry the general public. The main public expenditures and official salaries of Jiaozhi County in the future will come from commercial taxes, mining taxes, finance, dock shop leasing, city shipping company trade profit sharing, metallurgy, and shipbuilding.

, workshop production and other industrial taxes and many sources of profits.

I hope that everyone will work hard and use their own hands to create a better future for themselves and a more beautiful Jiaozhi County for their descendants.

This is the first time people in Jiaozhi County, and even people all over the world, have read such a friendly government editorial. It is no longer the cold official language, but full of encouragement, passion and expectations.

The people of Cochin were really moved. Even the most stubborn conservatives had to put down their newspapers, sigh softly, then open the door, walk onto the street, and join the happy crowd running around to tell their stories.

This tax amount has been carefully reviewed by Sitong Trading Co., Ltd. Jiaozhi is located in a remote area and lacks development, but the biggest advantage is that the boat is small and easy to turn around.

The size of the economy itself is not large. After locating the industries in seaports, shipbuilding, metallurgy, and industry and commerce, with the strong support of the financial industry, a traditional farming area was transformed into an emerging area with industry and commerce as the main body.

area.

Mining and trade alone brought tens of millions of benefits to the Song Dynasty, and the development dividends received by the region amounted to tens of millions of dollars a year.

In just two years, science and engineering have turned Jiaozhi into a treasure land. The commercial tax rate will surpass that of Shuzhong this year, and will surpass that of Zhejiang and Zhejiang two years later, becoming a treasure trove of the South China Sea.

Without the population burden of the two Zhejiang provinces in central Sichuan, but with the great benefits of the two Zhejiang provinces in central Sichuan, Jiaozhi County would become the most developed area in the Song Dynasty within three years!

This is the huge power of industry and maritime trade!

Suyou set a two-and-a-half tax on local agriculture, which was actually a bit sinister. It was mainly because it had to do this to ensure the supplies of the army.

This issue of the "Nanhai Times" shocked not only Jiaozhi, but also the people who were occupying the city amid the brutal fighting.

Under the command of Zhang Lingcong, Li Fuquan, Liu Feng, and Huang Shizhong, countless Zhan people immediately came to defect. The strength of the rebel army became stronger and stronger, and the pressure of dispatching troops to occupy the city increased sharply.

Beside the sugarcane fields, behind the bamboo groves, and in the valleys, there are "bandits" everywhere who make surprise attacks on the troops dispatched to occupy the city. Their weapons are becoming more and more sophisticated, their tactics are becoming more and more advanced, and their soldiers are becoming more and more elite.

Many generals of the dispatched troops have discovered that there are some people with armbands in the rebel army. These people have extremely high military qualities and act as military commanders. They serve as the backbone of the rebel army.
