“…… When auctioning, the exclusive right to operate and the right to use technology in each region should be set according to different regions, and a minimum price should be increased each time. After all, some areas are suitable for planting sweet potatoes and potatoes, while others are not. Later, I will write a detailed rules and regulations for the sages and princes to read. ”

After explaining the auction in a few words, Xue Lang hesitated and continued: ”in addition to the above measures, there is also a need for policy support, which is to include vermicelli into the tax! However, it is still a principle how to include taxes and how much is the proportion. It should be differentiated according to different regions, and we can't adopt one size fits all policy! ”

After Xue Lang finished speaking, there was a sound of hitting the wat board. Obviously, everyone thought that Xue Lang's proposal was good. Xue Lang humbly got up and bowed his hands to all the ministers present, and then said, ”to the sage, I'm not familiar with the local administration experience and the population situation of different places. Therefore, the proportion of the output of vermicelli in the tax is only I'd like to thank you for checking. ”

The sage nodded, turned his head and asked the other ministers below: ”do you think Xue Lang's two strategies are feasible?”

The crown prince said: ”father, Youyang, these two strategies are excellent. Combined with his previous sparring, they can be implemented first in places where autumn planting of potatoes can be carried out. It can accumulate promotion experience for next year's spring sowing, and leave room for the court to move and adjust. It's just that if you want to promote it all over the country, I'm afraid we're short of manpower! ”

The king of Qin couldn't help but say, ”the prince is worried about this. Chang'an has been planting for a year. Under the guidance of Youyang, it seems that a group of farmers who can cultivate sweet potato and potato have been cultivated. It is just the autumn planting that follows. Take these farmers down to direct autumn planting. When spring sowing comes next year, there will be more farmers who want to work, and then there will be more hands! ”

Xue Lang thought for a moment and added, ”the prince of Qin, if you are worried about the problem of manpower, you can hold a lecture on sweet potato and soil sowing technology in Chang'an city. You can select a team with eloquence to come out and give lectures all over the country for free. If you want to learn, you can listen to it. As for the cost of the tour, it can be paid out of the proceeds of the auction, which should be more than enough. ”

”Pa Pa Pa!”

Someone hit the wat board again! The king of Qin also gave a cheering smile.

Set the general direction, and then we will discuss the details. The sage directly gave Xue Lang the task of planning the auction, and let him be in charge and planning directly.

What we discussed was the proportion of vermicelli to be included in the tax. Xue Lang has no right to speak. After all, he is an outsider and is not familiar with the local situation. Therefore, he only looks around and seldom talks about the detailed policies. Even if there are suggestions, they are only suggestions for the general direction and never involve the details.

After all, if a policy goes on, it will involve tens of thousands of people. In this era, the common people, especially the vast number of farmers, have no permanent property and have little ability to resist risks. Because of poverty, because there is not enough food to survive the risk, so if there is a little natural and man-made disaster, the people will be easily displaced and the world will be prone to chaos.

The tax of Tang Dynasty, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, implemented the policy of light corvee and light tax. Compared with the former Sui Dynasty, the tax was light, but it was heavier than the later song, Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In the early Tang Dynasty, under the guarantee of the equal land system, the tax law was suitable. After the Anshi rebellion, because of the war and land annexation, the land equalization system was destroyed, and the rent and Yong system had no basis for implementation, so the tax law was reformed and the two tax laws were adopted.

Therefore, it has been proved by history that the rent Yong system and the system of equal farmland were applicable to the early Tang Dynasty. On this point, Xue Lang did not have any objection. He just hoped to add vermicelli into the tax structure and appropriately reduce the proportion of grain payment, so as to make people's life better. That's all.

Taxation is related to the foundation of the country, and it can't be discussed only once. The princes of the court still have to discuss. Xue Lang only offered suggestions on the general direction, but he didn't care about the details. Therefore, he only attended this meeting, but he didn't attend the meeting several days later.
