There is no need to worry about people who have lots of land at home and have not left. Therefore, there are no tenants to farm. There are refugees from outside helping to farm. After all, when the refugees come to Linlang's territory, Linlang cannot immediately treat them the same as the locals. She must first Let them work for a year and receive the same treatment, so as not to cause the locals to be unhappy. In this way, families with a lot of land at home will have someone to help farm. This way, the land will not be divided because of Linlang, and the tenants will have to farm their own crops. The land has been allocated, but no one is farming, which makes these people unhappy. In short, letting the refugees work for a year before getting the land can satisfy all parties.
Linlang was engaged in infrastructure construction and schools in Sanfu, which was in full swing. This was mostly due to the arrival of refugees and the abundance of cheap labor.
These refugees are willing to work for everyone as long as they are provided with food and accommodation and some wages. The labor cost is much lower than before in the local area, so everyone doesn't care about tenants anymore because there are plenty of people to help them farm anyway. .
In addition, Linlang slowly implemented the employment system in his Sanfu land and banned human trafficking. However, he did not forcibly abolish the previous self-sale contract. He only said that if the person who sold his body did not want to sell, he could redeem himself and pay the price for himself. , shall not be higher than three times the purchase price.
She knew that immediately outlawing the contract of prostitution would liberate everyone immediately, but she did not have the world, so she had plenty of time to implement it slowly, so there was no need to be too drastic.
Just like she actually advocated distributing land to everyone and prohibiting one person from owning a large amount of land, but she did not implement this decision. She just distributed the excess land to the people who had no land, and then prohibited the trading of these allocated fields. Well, Ensure that every common person will have land in the future, so that they will not become refugees because they have no land in the future; then, for those who own a large amount of land, the land deeds will be registered and a stepped tax rate will be implemented. The more land, the more taxes they will pay. She doesn't care whether anyone has fame and is exempt from tax. No matter who they are, they have to pay taxes. Under her rule, people with fame cannot be exempt from tax.
After all, it doesn’t make sense. Rich and powerful people don’t have to pay taxes, but the poor have to pay taxes. Taking money from the poor and giving it to the rich will not only make the people criticize the court, make it difficult for ordinary people to live, but also make the court not receive much money. Taxes, after all, how much money can be made from the poor, only money can be made from the rich and powerful.
There is no need to worry about these people dishonestly registering the land, because if she conceals the amount of her land, the land that is not in the book will be ownerless land, and she can give it to others, so no one dares to hide it.
There is no need to worry about who will rebel if you do this. Those rebels have already scared away many people in the city, and the remaining people have been robbed by the rebels. That’s it.
It is precisely because of this that Linlang dares to implement these policies. Otherwise, all those rich and powerful people are still there, and they will encounter great resistance in pursuing these policies.
In fact, these people are still noisy, but they are weak and unable to influence Linlang.
As for the people in Lijiacun and other villages, they would definitely not have any objections to Linlang's arrangements. After all, they were from the lower class. Linlang's arrangements would not affect their interests, so how could they have objections.
In fact, they were all praising Linlang. After all, when it was time to pay taxes in previous years, Linlang did not collect taxes, which saved them a lot of money. Then Linlang also set up a school so that children could go to school for free, and he also built infrastructure so that they could work. Can everyone not praise Linlang for making money?
The reason why Linlang did not collect taxes was because he was not afraid of running out of money. First, he eliminated the Xishan Prefecture rebels and made a huge profit. In addition, because Dongshan Prefecture had stabilized early, business activities had resumed, and Linlang could make a lot of money. Commercial taxes, after all, Linlang does not suppress business. Commercial activities naturally develop rapidly, which brings about an increase in commercial taxes.
In fact, Linlang also built some factories to make weapons, clothing, armor, etc. for the patrol team. This not only created some jobs and free time, but also made farm tools, ready-made clothes, etc. and sold them to make money. Linlang's income, no, shouldn't be It is said that it is Linlang's income, but it should be said that it is the continuous financial income of the three mansions.
Because the finances are rich, Linlang naturally does not need to levy the agricultural taxes that ordinary people have.
Of course, she will not collect agricultural taxes from ordinary people, but she will collect taxes from big landowners. Just like personal income tax, there is a threshold. Those below the threshold do not need to be collected, but above the threshold, she will not collect it. Above the tax point, a stepped tax rate will be implemented. The more land there is, the higher the tax will be.
Many families began to separate their families in disguised form.
In the past, many families adhered to the tradition of not dividing the family when their parents were present, but now, because of the tiered tax rate in Linlang, many families have to divide the fields into the names of everyone in the family in order to pay less tax. It is easier to avoid taxes, unlike before, where the land deed was always in the father's name before his parents passed away.
They had no choice but to put it all under their father's name. If there were too many fields, it would be easy to have to use the top tax rate, so they had no choice but to quickly transfer the land deeds to the names of everyone in the family so that they could pay the tax. Fewer.
There is no way, who told Linlang that the tax rate is not calculated equally according to the number of people in a family, but based on the land under each person's name.
If it were divided equally according to the number of people in the family, there would be no need to divide the land in advance. But now, if the tax is paid according to the land under each person's name, it would be a fool not to quickly distribute it to the sons and grandsons in the name so as to pay less tax. .
I have to say that after this division, the noisy voices of the big landowners became a little quieter. After all, not every family has a scholar. How did they pay less taxes before? It is to sell the land in your hands to those who can get tax exemption, and then rent the land from them. You only need to pay the land rental fees to those tax-free groups without paying taxes.
However, although you don't have to pay taxes, you have to pay the land rental fees to those tax-free groups, and you also have to bear the risk that the other party's bad character will directly take away each family's land.
Now that Linlang is like this, although they can't take refuge in the tax-free group and sell their fields to the tax-free group without paying taxes, at least they don't have to worry about their fields being taken away by others. Moreover, after everyone divides it, everyone's fields will become less. , the taxes paid will be reduced, and Linlang's tax rate is not particularly high. In total, it is almost the same as the money they paid to the tax-free group, so that's fine.
After all, as long as the money paid to the tax-free group is similar, and you don't have to worry about your own farmland becoming someone else's farmland in the future, then Linlang's tax collection method is naturally better.
Because after the separation, we can pay less taxes, so even the big landowners are not so noisy.
