Ma County’s current income is divided into four parts.

The biggest part is the income from farming.

There are now 6,361 people in the county.

The actual effective use of land is only about 220,000 mu.

Although the rest of the land has planted hemp, fruit trees, leeks, and so on, most of them cannot be carefully estimated.

Therefore, when the above taxes are collected, the land tax is only calculated based on the harvest of 220,000 mu of land.

Crops are ripe twice a year, while field tax is collected once a year, and only one ripe tax is collected.

The second largest source of income in the county is the processing and sale of sesame seeds.

This part of the income is a transaction between the farmers' association and is not subject to the current Qin law, so it does not pay taxes.

The second is the wealth obtained by exporting iron materials to South Korea. This part of the income was not even the corresponding laws for the Qin State to regulate, so there was no possibility of tax collection.

The last part is the money earned by sending husbands to serve, and it is also tax-free.

Among the four groups of wealth sources, only one group collects taxes.

Moreover, the taxation types in Qin have not increased compared with the previous two years.

However, no matter how Li Si calculates, the wealth accumulation in the county is only a little over 30% of the results he calculates.

Sixty percent of the income disappeared out of thin air.

This is not embezzled, nor is it levied by taxes.

Because taxes are clearly placed there.

If you hand over, you will hand over; if you don’t hand over, you will not hand over.

Li Si could not find the possible flow of this part of the disappearing wealth.

Of course, there is corruption in the county.

Including Li Si himself, he likes to drink honey tea on weekdays, and this part is all in public accounts.

Although it is corruption, it only takes one person and one family needs it. Even if the public account is left, even if it is occupied by someone, it is only a little bit.

Compared to a county where the number of newborns is increasing every year, the number of husbands is almost worth mentioning!

But more than 60% of the wealth!

Numbers won't lie!

Where did this number go?

Li Si frowned.

He is the only one who knows the disappearance of wealth for the time being.

Even his knowledge was obtained by settlement.

If Li Si didn't know if he didn't count, he would have disappeared.

——When most of the wealth has disappeared, the county is thriving overall, and everyone, including Li Si, is very satisfied with this speed of wealth accumulation.

This discovery is terrifying.

"President Li." Someone shouted.

Li Si took his mind out of the calculation: "Who? What's the matter?"

"The envoy from Xianyang." The minor official walked in and bowed deeply: "The envoy from Xianyang, His Majesty the King of Qin issued a new law and edict."

"New Method?" Li Si raised his eyebrows.

There is still a new law in Qin State?

Why do we need to formulate a new law? Qin is not weak now.

Li Si was puzzled, his body had already moved, and he went out to greet him.

There are much more new laws than Li Si imagined.

The brocade box contains a full box of silk books.

A cart of bamboo slips slowly pulled on the ox cart.

At a high level, it is difficult to read the new method without ten days or half a month.

Li Si was a little surprised: "Why are there so many new methods?"

"President Li should read the edict first." The envoy said cheerfully: "Your Majesty has an order to recruit the county to have military service experience and war experience. Those under the age of 30, above 18, and those who have children in their families serve."

"Serve?" Li Si asked: "What service? Military service or working service?"

"military service!"

...

"The law is a bit strict this time..." After dinner, Li Si sat in his study.

Chen Ju sat at the low table next to him, learning to write seriously.

"Why are you strict?" Chen Ju didn't raise his head: "There are people in the Eastern Six Kingdoms saying that Qin's law is strict all day long, but I think it's okay."

"Different." Li Si took the bamboo slip: "In the past, Qin State did not divide a power to three or four officials, asking them to urge each other, and almost had a grudge against each other."

"There are still such things." Chen Ju couldn't understand.

"And the military service has been split now," Li Si said again.

Chen Ju's heart moved: "You mean, I don't need to go to war anymore?"

"It doesn't mean that." Li Si shook his head.

"That's good." Chen Ju nodded and started writing again.

"I mean, military service is separated, and the early adult service at the age of fifteen has changed the structure."

"I used to go to serve not far from home, but now I am serving at my doorstep."

"And there have been some changes in what is responsible."

"It's not good to be close to home?"

"I have never served in the military to eliminate insects, snakes, tigers and wolves."

"Now the initial service is not only responsible for protecting the safety of the people and clearing out bandits; it is also responsible for patrolling the local area and eliminating insects, snakes and beasts."

"What's the difference?" Chen Ju didn't care about this at all.

"And." Li Si sighed: "The most important thing is that the military merit system has also changed."

Chen Ju suddenly looked up: "What?"

After a while, he lowered his head again: "If it changes, it will change."

The military merit system has become increasingly attractive to people in recent years.

The structure of the peasant association and the overflow of land have made it impossible for ordinary common people to limit titles, but the amount of land that can actually be cultivated.

At this time, what people actually lack is no longer land.

Then, the "military merit system" with land as the main selling point is naturally going downhill.

So far, even those like Chen Ju who have gained benefits from it have already felt that the military merit system is a bit useless.

What should I do so much?

In the peasant association, it actually determines whether everyone can eat good food, not the title, but the population and the type of work they actually do.

Of course, serving in the military is the most profitable at present.

The second is to go to the iron factory in South Korea to cast iron.

People with five hundred acres of land in their hands eat the same meals as those who do not have land in their hands. There are three meals a day, and there is no change.

People with jue can buy more meat and teeth-beating sacrifices and more clothes in private than people with no jue.

Such a difference is obviously not enough to make people have enough motivation to fight to death.

Chen Ju had some experience, and he became less and less concerned about the "military merit system".

However, he was still a little worried about the future.

"By the way, according to the new law, you can enter the royal tomb after you die." Li Si found this point in the silk book.

This sentence suddenly attracted Chen Ju's attention: "What Wang Tomb?"

"The King of Qin Wangzheng's Tomb." Li Si looked at the lines of words, looked at the standards and treatment, and subconsciously wondered whether he could be buried in it.

"With my identity, can I also bury His Majesty the King of Qin?" Chen Ju stood up suddenly, unable to believe it.

"Yes." Li Si looked at the standards on the silk book and said, "According to this legally, this is true."
