Chapter 604 (1/2)

In the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, Mencius once said that ”Shiyi tax is the government of the king”. It can be seen that the tax amount of the Warring States period is more than one, and Mencius thinks that the tax of Shiyi is very good.

However, at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the tax was only 15 taxes and 1 tax. And most of the time, we only have to pay half of the tax, 30 taxes and 1. A hundred stone millet, that is, as long as you pay a little more than three stones, that is, it is very low.

But by the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, such a tax system was also gradually changed, into ten taxes one, and also gradually increased up, even the highest is up to May Day tax.

There was also a big problem with the tax system of the Han Dynasty. At that time, the land policy was liberal. The tiller had his own land, and the ownership of the land belonged to the farmer. He could use it freely or sell it freely.

In fact, in this way, it has gradually formed its own land annexation policy, and gradually made some large families become a kind of land power, and some relatively normal farmers have also become tenants.

The landowner's rent to his tenants was very high. Some of them are as high as five tenths. In this way, many tenants are very hard-working all the year round, but they can't satisfy their food all year round.

In this way, in fact, the life of the farmers is also slowly getting worse, but now the tax here is actually a new one-third.

”Are you tenants, then

After Zhang Liang nodded, he also asked.

”In what era is it now? The Lord is merciful. Before that, he bought the land of those landlords, and then it has been distributed to us. We don't need any tenants at all. We grow and eat by ourselves.”

It's not like a fake smile when you say it.

In fact, it is not only qinshuo's territory that is very rich now, but also the farmers in the territory are also very rich. In this way, the prestige of the government will be greatly increased.

If Qin Shuo really wants to collect the present grain, he can just say it casually. It is estimated that there are many farmers who actively donate.

However, Qin Shuo did not have such a thing. Instead, he actively bought grain for those farmers. Of course, the price was slightly lower, but it was no different from the market price.

Of course, Qin Shuo didn't want these grains to eat, but to store them. They could be used in case of accidents.

Even though the grain in the warehouse is full now, Qin Shuo can still buy a lot of foodstuff and sell it to other places.

The price of grain in Qin Shuo's hands is also very low, but it is also relatively low compared with those in other territories, so there are a lot of people to buy.
