Chapter 1081 (2/2)
”That's right. Anyone with a little family background will send their children to school. ”
”Why is that?”
”Because if you are rich and have no fame, you can only have 100 mu of land for one person just like me. For rich masters, this land is not enough. If you want to get ten taxes and one tax, you have to urge your children to read. Even if it's just a scholar's reputation, they can increase 200 mu of land with 10 taxes. ”
”It's reasonable. It's reasonable. You can't do without reading in the future
”If you don't study, you can only stick to 100 mu of land, and more than one mu will be heavily taxed.”
”In this way, we can't open up wasteland at will.”
”Didn't you see the law? The newly reclaimed land can be sold to the government, which will purchase it at a premium of 20% of the market price. The extra 20% is the labor cost. ”
”That's about it.”
”No matter how agitated those scholars may be, the new law is really beneficial to the people, and it is serious to think for the people like me.”
”That's right.”
”Ten taxes and one tax can live a lot of people.””In case of production reduction, we don't have to sell children or women to sell land.”
”Yes! The warehouse at home will be full one day. ”
”Do you have a warehouse? Rich people
”I don't want to save a lot of food by paying 10 taxes and 1 tax. In the past years, I didn't have to eat when I was in a bad month. Ten taxes and one tax. If you come across another month when you're in short supply, you'll certainly have some to eat. ”
”That's reasonable.”
”Until next spring, we will know if there will be any food left.”
”The law came into force from the beginning of August, and the court considered the autumn harvest. With the autumn harvest, everyone's burden will be reduced a lot this year. ”
”Some officials want to catch autumn grain and make a windfall before the first day of August. We must not be fooled.”
”Thanks for reminding me!”
……
Wang Xuecheng went to Yanci with his drink.
”Brother Yan has a vision. When you said you didn't want to collect the land of the villagers, I was worried about it. Now, you have to be careful. ”
He felt his head with thin hair and felt worried.
”Don't praise me, brother Wang. I'm very worried now. ”
”Why worry?”
”Although I didn't accept the land offered by the villagers, my family has bought a lot of land with money in recent years, which has exceeded the amount of ten taxes and one mu prescribed by the imperial court.”
Wang Xuecheng was stunned for a moment. ”Brother Yan has a great reputation. He can own a land of five hectares and ten taxes. He can also sprout several people. Has the land under your family's name exceeded this amount? ”
Wang Xuecheng was surprised.
”A few days ago, I went home and looked through the title deed of my family. Only then did I know that my family had successively bought about 80 hectares of land with money and land, which exceeded the standard by nearly twice.”
WOW!
Eighty hectares is 8000 mu. It costs tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy land.
”Brother Yan is really rich.”
”Don't make fun of me, brother Wang. I'm worrying about what to do with the extra land. ”
”Why worry. The law provides for a three-year delay in the sale of land in the past. In three years, your land will remain the same. ”
”Brother Wang is laughing at me. According to the law, in our case, within three years, one part of the land with ten taxes can continue to be tax-free. The excess land will be taxed at a rate of 10 to 1. By the end of three years, the excess land will have to be taxed heavily. ”
”Ten taxes and one tax, that's not a burden for brother Yan.”
”Brother Wang, these lands were tax-free before.”
Wang Xuecheng was tongue tied, came back to his mind, patted his head, ”I am confused! The autumn harvest season is approaching. What is brother Yan going to do? ”
”You can't sell land at this time.”
”Yes. When buying land at this time, someone must have taken the opportunity to lower the price. There will always be people who can eat a lot of land. ”
He shook his head, ”brother Wang still didn't see through the hall. The final result of the promulgation of this law is that the government, or Shaofu, will become the largest landlord in the world. Look, in the next few years, a lot of land will fall into the hands of the Shao Fu. ”
Wang Xuecheng is a bit muddled. He is not smart at all. He really didn't want to understand the twists and turns in this.
He asked shamelessly, ”is this good or bad?”
