17 Lightweight tax

Thousands of miles of green seedlings, clear water is as stained.

The previous plan ordered Chen Yiyan to say: "If you don't have any accidents, you will get 400 million stones of Xingu, and you will get a 1,250,000 stone of land. Among them, 10 million mu of official fields can get 60,000 stones of Xingu. The two items will be added together and will be included in the warehouse: 71,250,000 stones."

All the civil and military officials in the court were happy and expressed their feelings.

Liu Bei asked: "There are so many new additions this season."

The emperor replied: "There are nine million people in the country, and because the lord has ordered them to separate households and not separate the property, all households have dropped to eight. There are more than one hundred and twenty thousand households. The new fields opened last year were all divided into new households at the beginning of the year. The old grain of the whole grain is particularly high."

Liu Bei asked again: "How much tax is collected?"

The above-mentioned account orders are as follows: "House tax (200 coins), tuition tax (23 coins), calculation tax (120 coins, calculation tax (240 coins), women over fifteen to thirty years old but not married (600 coins), increase tax (300 coins), labor tax (craftsman tax, 1%), municipal rent (based on transaction volume, 2%), tariff (10%, tax exemption for goods from Western Regions and foreign regions)

, , the tax on the bribe (feed, 55 cents/hectare), sausage (the property tax on merchants is levied for 20 cents per 2,000 yuan, and the tax rate is 1%. This is the basic tax rate, and there are differences in industries. The tax rate for handicraftsmen is 0.5%, while for carts and merchants are 2%, and the rest are 1%), etc., are not counted. The salt tax collected for a single 1.5 million mu of salt fields is enough for 400 million thistle coins.”

As soon as this sentence came out, the whole hall exclaimed.

In the Bohai Sandflat, no grass grows. In this barren land, the lord turns into harms and profits, with 400 million yuan in the source!

Liu Ye, the commander of the Great Xia Dynasty, made an indelible contribution. King Ji happily gave him a jade to his side, which attracted the envy of all officials.

Wang Fu Huang Zhong asked with a smile: "If you increase taxes, how much money will you get?"

The above plan was prepared: "The household tax was more than 225 million (the direct tax was directly transferred to the lord and lord, and it belonged to the royal family's finances, which were not included in the national fiscal revenue. However, since the title of title, King Ji has been confiscated for public use, and no slightest amount was taken); the tax was more than 756 million; the tax was 6210 million; the tax was even 1.89 billion; the tax was employed, the tax was employed, the customs tax, and the tax was not yet fully prepared."

The household tax, calculation tax, tuition tax, and the four items are worth nearly 2 billion yuan in annual income.

The finances of Ji State are not just good. All officials celebrate with each other.

The three most huge expenditures in Ji State: 100,000 soldiers and 700 million military funds; more than 300 officials of all sizes in the city had a salary of 700 million; nine million people had a contribution of 567 million, which was just the same as household taxes, calculating taxes, vocational taxes, and vocational taxes, and the four taxes were equal.

So, the salt tax of 400 million thistle coins, external processing tax (121 million), municipal rent (125 million), customs tax (312.5 million), straw taxes are fiscal surpluses. It is roughly estimated that more than 1 billion thistle coins.

It should be noted that this is still "light taxes and taxes". It is conceivable how rich the people are. The business of Ji is prosperous. The proportion of business people is as high as 10% (10%). The money is enough to collect 1.25 billion. In other words, the average assets of merchants are as high as one million.

The Wang family’s industry does not count. Of course, King Ji doesn’t have to pay taxes. The Ji country’s fiscal surplus this year is enough for 2.2 billion.

King Ji hid wealth among the people and soldiers among the people. This is exactly the same sentence as later generations, "Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become king."

A surplus of 2.2 billion yuan is enough to recruit another 300,000 troops.

It is absolutely not advisable to be a military force. It is not advisable...

The Western Regions Protectorate, Longyou Laidaiying, and overseas ports have not yet been counted.

Farming is really fatal. Once you have achieved great success, it is unmatched. It is like a wild ball box: from level 1 to level 9, it is neither good nor useful; once you practice level 10, you will "nothing is difficult in the world, I'm afraid it will be wild ball box!"

If King Ji was ruthless, Ji State could recruit 400,000 troops. In addition, the high-rise ches, Xianbei, Wuhuan, Qianghu, Southern Xiongnu, Fuyu, Woju, Xiematai, and the Western Regions coalition forces could easily form a million troops. The food and grass accumulated was enough for ten years.

Stay stable.

What? Such a strong country, there are only a thousand people in the harem, and there are less than four hundred concubines?

It’s really a wise ruler!

It is important to know that Shule usurped the throne, King Hede, was the lord of a small country in the Western Regions, and there were also three thousand beauties in the harem.

He is the most powerful lord in the world, and his harem is less than 400. He is serious and inappropriate.

Whenever the king of the Western Regions mentioned this, King Ji smiled and said: I have three hundred descendants.

So, there is nothing!

Three thousand beauties have only a handful of children. Many productivity is vacant. How wasteful the natural resources are. It is not a wise man.

Let’s look at the productivity of King Ji’s harem and its operation is at full capacity.

In a nutshell, production relations must adapt to productivity.

Dazhenguancheng, Longyou Embassy.

Priestess of the Holy Fire, Achiriya, finally met her close friend, Rome Queen Ruchira in the distant East.

Three days ago, Rome Queen Ruqira arrived safely at Dazhen Pass under the escort of the Western Region Protectorate Convoy. Attending the welcome dinner held by Concubine Zhong Cunhui, she met with the priestess of the Holy Fire. Only then did Ruqira learn that the reason why the owner of the distant oasis, the Protector, rescued her was entrusted by Aqira.

The night banquet was unique in Roman style, and was organized by Achiriya, which moved Rukira very much.

During the meal, Huifei asked with a smile: "I don't know what the queen is going to do?"

Luqira replied sadly: "I wish to live in the East and live this life."

Achiliya said, "Why not borrow 100,000 troops from Lord Protector to help you regain the throne."

Ruqira remained silent: "Rome and the Han Dynasty were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. How could a hundred thousand horses travel through Kushan, Anxi and other powerful countries along the way and arrive in Rome?"

Achiliya said again: "The Protector and Kushan, Anxi and other countries have a harmonious relationship. Why not form a Western Expedition Alliance?"

Rukira was unmoved: "This matter will be discussed later."

Concubine Hui understood: "The great cause of restoring the country needs to be discussed in a long-term way."

The conversation between the dinner three days ago is still fresh in my memory.

Three days have passed. Seeing that Ruqira had washed away her fatigue, Achiriya couldn't help but ask: "Concubine Hui is the hostess of this city. Why did she miss such a good opportunity?"

Without outsiders present, Ruqira then expressed her thoughts: "Achiriya, you arrived in Seris earlier than me. Tell me, what is the difference between Rome and Han countries, compared to the Han Dynasty."

Achilia blurted out: "There are no slaves."

"Yes, there are no slaves." Rukira's eyes were full of fear: "Can you imagine what would Rome be like without slaves?"

Achillia blurted out: "Slaves are the cornerstone of everything in Rome. If slaves are lost, the free people will lose supply, the army will lose logistics, the city hall will lose taxes, and the Senate will lose power. The whole Rome will be destroyed."

"The Protector bought a large number of slaves from Wusun, Kushan, Anxi and other countries several times and released them all as free peoples. What would happen if this army arrived in Rome?"

"You mean, recruiting troops from the 'slave free people' who live in the oasis?" Achillia asked.

"Looking at Cyris, do you know Rome better than these free people?" Rukira asked back.

"Oh my God..." After a little contemplation, Achillia finally realized: "That will be a 'Spartacus' that destroyed Rome!"

Spartacus (Σπ?ρτακο?), an ancient Roman Thracian gladiator, slave and military strategist, led the Spartacus uprising against Roman rule with Cres, Enomay and Ganyx in the first year of Emperor Xuan's Benshi (73 BC).
