Medieval Era(2/2)
According to the Eastern Han Dynasty, 700,000-800,000 households served as food towns.
According to Cao Wei, there were more than one million households living in the city.
According to the Western Jin Dynasty, sorry, the data overflowed—
Do you have an idea?
Add a paragraph at the end: Some people believe that the central government raises taxes and then distributes money according to the number of households in the city. That is wrong!
Not so.
This era is closely related to fiefdom. Although it is a virtual fief, it will give you a map to tell you where the people are your fief. You cannot manage it, but you can enjoy the income. This is called "virtual fief". Not necessarily.
Be accurate to your specific number of food fiefs, because land may be large or small,
For example, Xun's fiefdom in the Western Jin Dynasty was five miles smaller than the actual radius, because Jichuan Ruins happened to be that big.
If you participate in management, it will be a state closure.
Therefore, the heroes often compete endlessly over whose land is better and whose land is worse.
For example, if Wang Yan is granted the title of Duke of Pingyuan County, Pingyuan County will have to give him 1,500 households' rent income. This is why the heroes granted by the protagonist are basically not within the scope of direct taxation.
Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, Sima Yan, did a census before his death. The number of households in the country was 16 million. Scholars generally believe that it was at least 35 million. I think doubling it is not a problem when a large number of aristocratic families occupy the population.
Among the 35 million, there were 5-10 million in the south and 25-30 million in the north. In the late Yuan Dynasty, there were 50 million in the south and 10 million in the north. It was not without reason that Zhu Yuanzhang was able to dominate the north with the south.
