Here, Xun Yu found Lu Bu again and reported to Lu Bu for work.

After a month, nearly 20,000 acres of wasteland have been opened.

The military camp was also built, and several natural villages were also built.

Outside Luoyang City, most of the people in the village that Zhen Yi originally gave to Lu Bu were moved here.

The houses had been built with the help of soldiers, and each family could be divided into two acres of land, and Lu Bu promised them that the fields would be distributed directly to them.

However, they only have the right to cultivate these lands, but do not have the right to sell them.

In other words, the land ownership is in the hands of Wujun.

Even so, these villagers were so happy.

In fact, they also know in their hearts that the land cannot be sold, which seems to be unfavorable to them.

In fact, this is a kind of guarantee that Prefect Lu has guaranteed them.

How do farmers rely on to survive? Of course, they rely on the land!

If the land could be bought and sold casually, those landlords and wealthy families could always use different ways to acquire large amounts of land.

Once farmers lose their land, they will become tenants and refugees, and their survival will be out of security.

It is actually a good thing for them to not be able to buy and sell land.

...

Seeing that Xun Yu arranged this place in an orderly manner, Lu Bu couldn't help but nod.

At this moment, Xun Yu found Lu Bu again.

Xun Yu couldn't help but say to Lu Bu: "Lord, there is a large area of ​​land here, but the population is too small. When will it really develop?"

Yes, the population here is actually just the villagers migrating from Luoyang, and the Yellow Turban refugees brought by Zhang Ning.

However, these are only a few thousand people, which is like a drop in the bucket compared to the size of a large Shanghai county.

As for the remaining soldiers, it is impossible for them to stay here to cultivate.

Once a war occurs and all these soldiers are withdrawn, the huge Shanghai county will immediately become an empty city.

Lu Bu couldn't help but ask Xun Yu: "Wenruo, what if you think?"

Xun Yu said: "My lord, according to what my subordinates see, we need to recruit a large number of refugees to supplement the population. However, if you want to recruit refugees, you must give them certain benefits, otherwise no one is willing to come at all. It is because of this matter that my subordinates are ready to discuss with the lord."

I guess Xun Yu had already made a decision on this matter and had a decision in his mind.

However, this matter requires Lu Bu to make the final decision. Xun Yu probably wants to see what Lu Bu really thinks.

Lu Bu couldn't help but say to Xun Yu: "Wenruo, I think it's better than this. As long as there are refugees who are willing to come, they can register and divide the land according to the person, and each person will be given two acres of land. As for the taxes, they will be collected according to twenty taxes and will be collected once a year. There is no corvee service. What do you think this is the case?"

The agricultural tax of twenty taxes and one tax was actually a high tax in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

There are three types of taxes in the Eastern Han Dynasty: land rent, calculation and tuition tax (capital tax), and corvee (force tax).

The land tax is just thirty taxes, which can be said to be the lowest tax in the entire ancient history.

But the cap tax was quite heavy, especially in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Each household needs to pay 200 yuan of "household tax" every year, and adult men have to pay 300 yuan of additional tax every year, even disabled people are no exception.

From the fourteenth to the fourteenth, some men and women have to pay 23 yuan a year.

For some men and women aged fifteen to fifty-six, each pays 120 yuan a year.

Merchants and slaves doubled, each person 240 yuan per year.

To encourage childbirth, women who do not get married at the age of fifteen to thirty are divided into five levels, and taxes that do not increase first level will be aggravated.

The pregnant person is exempted from his husband's calculation for one year.

As for random showdowns, there are more.

If we count this way, the taxes at the end of the Han Dynasty would be very heavy. Even if it was a good harvest, it would be able to fill our stomachs.

As for the disaster year, it will be lost to the point of selling children and daughters.

As for the twenty-one taxes given by Lu Bu, all other taxes are exempted, and this preferential policy is too great, so big that it is incredibly large.

Xun Yu has come up with an extremely preferential policy, but compared with the preferential policy given by Lu Bu, the policy is still far from reaching.

However, after hearing the policy given by Lu Bu, Xun Yu finally shook his head and said, "Lord, no!"

Lu Bu asked puzzledly, "Why can't it be? The tax of twenty taxes is not too much, right?"

Xun Yu couldn't help but say, "It's not just not much. If no other tax is imposed, then this proportion will be too low!"

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Yes, don't we just use low taxes to attract people?"

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "Lord, such a low tax is not enough to support the operation of the entire county magistrate! If the taxes are increased in the future, the people under his rule will definitely complain!"

"Besides, if the taxes in Shanghai County are so low, then the taxes in the entire Wu County will still be so high. The people in other county towns will inevitably complain, which will cause turmoil in Wu County!"

"Besides, if all corvee labor is exempted, once there is a project in Shanghai County, where can we find so many people to build it? So my subordinates think this method is absolutely impossible, so I hope the lord thinks twice."

Xun Yu's statement is still very reasonable. There are many problems that Lu Bu never thought of before Xun Yu raised.

However, these problems may be an opportunity for Lu Bu.

After thinking about it, Lu Bu said to Xun Yu: "Wenruo, what you said makes sense. Let's do this. The tax will be increased to 15 taxes. All other taxes will be exempted."

After hearing Lu Bu's words, Xun Yu was stunned. Yes, your tax has been raised a little, but it still treats the symptoms but not the root cause? When Xun Yu was asking, Lu Bu reached out to stop him.

"Of course, the tax on the 15th tax is subject to conditions! First, it can be stated that all refugees who come must settle in Shanghai County to enjoy this kind of treatment. And this kind of treatment can only be enjoyed for five years! There will be changes after five years. Second, the land is paid according to the head, and the tax is collected according to the head, and only cash is collected, and no physical goods are collected!"

After hearing Lu Bu's words, Xun Yu couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully.

Lu Bu's second article, the method of distributing land according to the head and levying taxes according to the head, and only collecting cash but not physical goods, made Xun Yu's eyes illuminate.

Demographic statistics have been a big problem throughout the dynasties, and deceptions and reports are everywhere.

But if you follow this method, no one will deceive or cover up the news again.

Because now the land is distributed according to the population! Besides, the tax revenue is so low, who would be so stupid!

The method of collecting taxes based on the head is even more beneficial.

In this way, many tax problems will be solved easily.

Xun Yu couldn't help but be amazed at this method. The lord is worthy of being a lord. Such a clever method can be thought of!
