Chapter 604: Zhang Liang’s Inner Change

Mencius once said in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period: "Tithes are taxed, and the king's government is governed." It can be seen that the tax amount in the Warring States Period was more than a tithe. Mencius also thought that a tithe tax was very good.

However, the tax stipulated at the beginning of the Han Dynasty was only one of fifteen taxes. And in many cases, you only need to pay half of the tax, one for thirty. One hundred shi millet, that is, as long as the tax is a little more than three shi, it is outrageously low.

But in the Eastern Han Dynasty, this tax system gradually changed, becoming one tax per ten, and it gradually increased, even reaching the highest tax on May one.

The tax system of the Han Dynasty also had a big problem. At that time, the land policy was liberal. The tiller had his land, and the ownership of the land belonged to the peasant. He could use it freely or sell it freely.

In fact, in this way, it gradually formed its own land annexation policy, and gradually made some big families gradually become a kind of land tycoon, and some relatively normal farmers also became tenants.

Landlords paid very high rents to tenants. Some are as high as almost five out of ten. In this way, many tenants actually work very hard all year round, but they can't satisfy their own needs all year round.

food.

In this way, in fact, the lives of the farmers have gradually deteriorated, but now the tax here has actually become one-thirtieth again.

"Then you people are not tenants?"

After Zhang Liang nodded, he also asked.

"What era is it now, and the lord is also very merciful. Before that, he bought the land of those landlords, and then it was already distributed to us. We don't need any tenants at all. We all grow it ourselves. Eat it yourself."

At this time, the strong man also spoke, and the smile on his face was no longer fake.

In fact, not only Qin Shuo's territory is very rich, but also the farmers in the territory are also very wealthy. In this way, the prestige of the government has increased significantly.

If Qin Shuo really wants to expropriate the current grain, he can just say it casually, and there are probably many farmers who donate on their own initiative.

But Qin Shuo didn't do this either, but for those farmers who actively bought grain, the price was of course slightly lower, but it was no different from the market price.

Of course, Qin Shuo didn't want these grains for food.

Yes, but to store it, and then use it in case of an accident in the future, so that you can use it yourself.

Even though the warehouse is full of grain now, Qin Shuo can still buy a lot of grain, and then sell it to other places.

The price of grain in Qin Shuo's hands is also very low, but it is also very low compared to other territories, so there are quite a few people who buy it.

Although this has touched the hearts of many rice merchants, they dare not look for Qin Shuo. After all, Qin Shuo also has his own gun in his hand, so they will seek Qin Shuo's cooperation instead.

As long as they could cooperate with Qin Shuo, the benefits would actually outweigh the disadvantages. In this case, why would those profit-seeking businessmen not do it?

This incident has gradually become a norm. With such a powerful force as Qin Shuo as the backing, others will never think that Qin Shuo will deceive them.

So now Qin Shuo is flourishing in business as well, and many businessmen are very envious, but they have to find Qin Shuo to cooperate.

Although there are not many entertainers working as soldiers under Qin Shuo's hands, those who work under Qin Shuo's other jobs are really

There are a large number of them, including many craftsmen.

Those craftsmen Qin Shuo would often offer higher prices to keep them. After all, the growth potential of Yiren is also higher, so it is also a good thing to offer a higher price.

In addition, such as merchants, Qin Shuo actually used a lot of strangers to assist him in his work. After all, in terms of businessmen, strangers are actually more shrewd.

Because the later generations themselves have all kinds of business classics, and those businessmen are familiar with them one by one, so in terms of digging around, Yiren is still stronger.

Qin Shuo had established various affiliated professional unions before, and now the role of these unions has been revealed. Now these affiliated professional unions have become a place that foreigners especially want to enter.

In addition to being able to obtain the permanent residency in Shuobai City, it is actually because of the high salary. Of course, the former is more tempting to those strangers.

Although Qin Shuo has already stipulated that real estate cannot be copied in Shuobai City, but many times those strangers will take advantage of loopholes and invest in Shuobai City in other ways.

There is no way to stop it.

It can only be admiration for these strangers' brains in real estate, and I can't even catch up with flattery.

After hearing those words, Zhang Liang actually found a few people, but his answers were basically the same, and he is really living a very happy life here now.

After all, life is not right now

How worried should I be? I used to worry that I would not have enough to eat, but now this kind of thing seems to have become a thing of the past.

Now Zhang Liang's heart is also quite entangled. Originally, he thought that even if Qin Shuo was not a stupid official, he would not be a good official in this troubled world, but he did not expect to see such a scene now.

In fact, Zhang Liang didn't hate Qin Shuo that much, he just wanted to use this method to slightly change the current situation, but he didn't expect that the current situation is actually very good.

If Zhang Liang hated Qin Shuo a little before, then his favorability towards Qin Shuo has greatly increased now, after all, Qin Shuo has also proved his ability to you now.

After learning about this, Zhang Liang also returned directly to the county government office, because the soldiers outside the county government office all knew him, so there was nothing to stop him.
