: Rich family raises troops to investigate crimes

Author: Soy Sauce Xuanzhu

As mentioned before, the taxes in the Dachu Empire were divided into two types: land rent and head tax. The head tax was 12 taels per year for adults and 2 taels per year for children. Adults who participated in corvee work that year were exempted from 3 taels.

As for land rent, 70% of the grain is generally charged as rent, and this 70% is delivered to the landlord free of charge.

Of course, during the Taihe Kingdom, taxation was more stringent than this.

The people at the bottom of the food chain have no right to complain. They can only be forced to accept this system.

At this time, Li Yewu said a completely different system from these superiors.

She said that they would live in the planned large houses and plant the planned fields. They would be exempted from corvee taxes for the first three years, and the harvest would be purchased at world prices.

This "double-sided acceptance" policy is simply pie in the sky, and everyone who hears it will say, "Impossible, who are you fooling?"

Seeing everyone's disbelief, Li Yewu smiled: "I don't need to lie to you. The houses have been built and the fields have been divided. Is there any lie? Mr. Feng Shui can lie to you for ten or eight years, but I

You will know the authenticity as soon as you submit your application.

Taking a step back, even if there is a pit ahead, you can live in a spacious house for free and be exempted from corvee taxes. Even if it is a fire pit, it is still worth jumping into, right?

By the way, one more thing needs to be emphasized. We have only driven out two villages during this period, which is 400 households. If we miss it, we will have to wait until the next time.

Apply early and enjoy early, you can think about it yourself.”

This time, Li Yewu's response was no longer silent, and everyone started asking questions.

“Is it true that we don’t collect land rent and taxes?”

"No! If you are worried, I can ask Cui Fuyin to be a witness. If I collect any taxes or land rent from you in the past three years, you can go to the Yamen to sue the king."

Xiao Jiuxi:???

The refugees thought about it for a long time and felt that it was indeed the case.

Of course, they would never admit that it was this beautiful big house that attracted them.

A small part of the crowd had already silently run to the city. It was obvious that they were going to the Yamen to write applications.

However, most people were still quite suspicious and hesitant. They did not move and continued to inquire:

"What about three years from now?"

"With so many bandits around, wouldn't it be dangerous for us to come to the western suburbs?"

"We will talk about the system after three years in three years, but I can assure you that even if the rent is collected, it is just a meaning, and it will definitely be lower than what you have to pay now.

As for security issues, we have established a bodyguard team of 5,000 people, who will patrol frequently to ensure everyone's safety to the greatest extent."

As soon as Li Yewu said this, some people silently rushed to the Yamen.

All 400 houses were applied for quickly, and many of the belated applicants no longer had seats.

Li Yewu is not in a hurry, asking those who want to join to register first, and arrangements will be made after the completion of the second and third phases.

In this way, all 400 households in the first phase of the demonstration village were filled. Based on 8 people per household, the first phase of the project provided employment and livelihood for a total of 3,200 people.

Although for the 800,000 people, these more than 3,000 people are only a very small part, but it does not matter, someone has set a precedent, and the follow-up will be advanced. Li Yewu is full of confidence in the future.

However, the refugees accepted Li Yewu's offer, but the four major families couldn't sit still.

"Is the princess trying to destroy our jobs?"

"If she introduces such a policy, what will we do in the future?"

After a long time, Prince Chang's Palace canceled the welfare, and everyone was ready to attract a large number of laborers. As a result, Princess Chang introduced this "double-sided all-inclusive" welfare, which not only gave away houses and fields, but also recycled food at market prices.

What should they do if she is so curly?

Originally, their labor force was losing a lot, but since Princess Chang introduced the new policy, many people have quit their fields.

Farmers are not stupid. To work for the landlord, they have to pay 70% of the grain as land rent every year, and they have to perform all taxes and corvees.

Going to Li Yewu's place is completely different. Not only are they free of rent and tax, but they also get a house, so the fool continues to stay.

As a result, the four major families had more tenants than before.

Xiao Jiuxi's welfare only affected the number of tenants of the four major families, but now Li Yewu's "double exemption and full income" has directly shaken the foundation of the four major families' fields.

The rich man could no longer sit still and took advantage of his anger to immediately interview Li Yewu.

Li Yewu, who was busy with the second phase of the project, was temporarily invited to Sifang Wine Restaurant. Before she could sit down, the four major families in front of her began to bombard her.

"Princess, what you did by doing this not only harmed your own interests, but also greatly affected us! I also hope that you will take back your life and abolish both exemption and full payment!"

"Yes, if you act like this, everyone's life will be difficult, so why bother?"

Li Yewu looked at them calmly for a while and then asked slowly: "If I remember correctly, you family heads don't seem to make a living by farming, right?"

The head of the Sifang family is a wine shop tycoon, the cowardly head of the Liu family monopolizes the fabric industry, the Mu family deals in jewelry, and the silent head of the Xu family sells groceries.

They took advantage of the collapse of the Taihe Kingdom to buy a lot of land. Although they were landlords, the farms were not their main source of livelihood.

Although this is the case, who is happy to have less income? After all, the food can still be sold to Prince Zhang's Mansion at a high price.

But now Prince Chang's Mansion just wants to farm their own land, and even takes away their tenants. How can this be done?

Especially in the showdown with Li Yewu, she looked innocent and refused to admit it, which could make people mad to death.

The feeling that the four masters of the family had when they came to collect debts and were choked to death by this girl's words came back again.

Speaking of which, the eight million owed by the King of Shang was turned into six million by her. Now this girl won't have a wrong idea again, right?

It is absolutely impossible for them to give up the farm, and they will definitely defend it to the end.

Therefore, the four people spoke righteously and strictly.

"Princess, although we have other livelihoods, we can't do without this field. Even though my wine shop's business is average, it still needs a supply of rice and grain. My family's fields are very important!"

"Although I don't have a wine shop business, the workers in my workshop still need to eat. If the farm can't provide enough food, it will have a great impact on us."

"Although we don't have a restaurant or a workshop, we have people at home. Our family members and entourage must eat all year round. And even if we don't eat, the Yamen will eat, right? Usually most of our food is supplied to the Yamen.

.”

"Princess, you can't just care about yourself. With you joining in the land reclamation, Taihe Prefecture shouldn't have to worry about food this year. But you've squeezed us all out, aren't you back to the starting point? There's still not enough food.
