In the land of Jizhou, rumors that the general wanted to advance to the emperor were soon spread, and everyone knew it.

However, he was slow to see any action. Without waiting for Yuan Shao to do anything big, the land of Hebei was completely stirred up by an imperial edict from the court.

The imperial edict is actually very simple. After removing the complicated wording and nonsense, it is actually just one: I, the Han Dynasty, abolish the calculation and tuition, and the tuition.

As soon as this order was issued, it was like a heavy hammer that hit the hearts of everyone in Hebei and even the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. From ministers and nobles to civilians in Guizhou, everyone who knew about this could not sleep all night.

It turned out that the emperor was in Nanyang and Xuzhou, killing so many people and dividing so many lands, but they were all just a small test.

The four hundred years old man really will change from now on.

After Yuan Shao learned the news, he immediately ordered every county magistrate in his territory to keep the news. As long as this news reaches our level, he will not let the poor people at the bottom of the Guizhou level know it.

The so-called calculation, oral fu, and more fu, is actually a term that modern people can better understand, which can be called: capita tax.

That is, the main tax collection object is population, and the corresponding one is naturally land tax.

In fact, this was also the most important feudal social tax until the middle and late Tang Dynasty. The core principle was to "save land and tax people".

A very cold knowledge that few people in later generations know about it, but in fact it is particularly important: There was indeed a tax policy of thirty taxes in the early Western Han Dynasty, but this is not necessarily a good policy.

Because the main tax administration of the Han Dynasty was the head tax, and the land tax was lighter, and when money was needed, the head tax would naturally be heavy. A more vivid metaphor is that the tax you paid was exactly the same as Ma Yun.

The earliest pioneer of this gameplay was actually Shang Yang. His starting point was to encourage people to reclaim wasteland more and spread the taxes calculated on the people in the land to reduce their burdens in disguise. The so-called family of five and a hundred acres of land does not necessarily refer to the wealth of the people.

To be more cruel, does it mean that a family of five must own 100 acres of land in order to be able to pay taxes, or at least not affect life?

Because there are too many names for the counties and counties in various places have their own head taxes with different names, which can no longer be verified.

The reason why the emperor's order was shocking was because everyone understood that this must be just a prelude. After all, the imperial court's expenses were placed there, not to mention that the emperor had to fight and use money and food everywhere.

Since the money and grain do not come from people, they can only come from the land. If the whole world collects the land like Xuzhou, and receives ten taxes and three, even ten taxes and four taxes and five taxes, it will offend all the powerful people in the world.

This is what Liu Xie gained after thinking in Tancheng for more than two months. The so-called power actually means two things to say about the bottom logic of the sky: tax affairs, military affairs, that's it.

This is the first step Liu Xie took for reform.

Once this policy is made, it will be successful, and all his families will be born in Buddhas, which can be considered as a useful thing for countless poor people in the world.

The good news is that because the land tax is not heavy on the surface, the vast number of hidden populations in various places is very small, but the hidden land is very small.

When he was defeated, he would just leave the bed and leave, and he was defeated. When he faced the millions of people in the world, he would be worthy of his gratitude.

This is certainly not an easy task, and even Liu Xie thought that this is likely to be impossible.

If this is done, it will definitely be unprecedented, and it may even be a future without a future. You must know that taxes for rich people are the most difficult to collect even in modern society.

Before he traveled through time, he checked the national tax structure, and the proportion of property tax was so low, but he was shocked.

Anyway, the three words "property tax" were discussed when he was in high school. Now he has traveled through time, and he doesn't know if he has collected it.

Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Sili and Nanyang can ignore the current situation of the imperial controlled areas, but in Hebei, the emperor's edict gave him the opportunity he had always dreamed of.

"The order to pass on the orphans is not limited to the number of slaves north of the river, and it is calculated as one. The land supervisor and tenants are legal, and the three mutual law will be abolished."

This is purely a fight with the emperor.

As soon as this said, Tian Feng immediately stood up and said, "Lord, I am afraid that the tyrants of the scholars will become increasingly merged and the poor will be more and more severe, and will shake the foundation of the country!"

When Yuan Shao saw that it was Tian Feng, he waved his hand and said, "Come on, please lock him up."

Anyway, it's not my own line, so I'm just killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

What are the consequences of these policies? Tian Feng said that Yuan Shao himself knew what kind of evil will be? Is this counselor in the palace not clear?

You are smart, you are straightforward and dare to advise?

Isn’t this all about becoming emperor?

If you don’t become emperor, and if you don’t kill the little emperor when he is not yet full of strength, your whole family will have to be buried with him, so how can you care about the foundation of the country?

Although the slave system in the Han Dynasty was legal, the number of slaves in each household was strictly limited. Even the family of the marquis could not exceed 200. The slaves were also counted as population to collect the capitol tax, and it was doubled. This was a layer of shackles put on the slave system.

What Yuan Shao did was to remove this shackle from the legal system.

Furthermore, the Han Dynasty did not allow landlords to rent out land to farmers. In other words, although tenants were everywhere in the Han Dynasty, they were legally illegal. Precisely because of legally illegal, these tenants became illegal households, and life and death were naturally also in the hands of the master's family. It can be said that although they did not have the name of slaves, they had the reality of slaves, and they were not as good as those of later generations who lived legally.

If there are too many tenants, the master will definitely not be able to manage it, and he will set up a land supervisor on each land. This is the target of severe crackdown by the imperial court. Since the Han Dynasty, all prefects in various places have taken the political achievements of attacking powerful people. The so-called attack on powerful people is to attack the field supervisor. This behavior has a special term, called servitude to the poor.

Liu Xie believes that, to the point, the reason why the Eastern Han Dynasty fell to this point was because the more land prisons were fighting, the fewer and fewer self-cultivated farmers were fighting, and the people who were unwilling to become slaves or tenants gradually became refugees, which led to the less and less tax the court could collect?

Jiang Ziya can’t impose taxes on refugees even if she is reborn!

As for abolishing the three mutual laws, it is nothing. It is just allowing local powerful and powerful gentry to become officials in their hometowns. It's nothing, it's really nothing.

Anyway, as soon as Yuan Shao's order was issued, everyone praised the general's kindness and cruelty, and Yuan Shao's prestige in Hebei suddenly rose.
