Poll tax? Tang Ping frowned. As expected, what he was worried about finally appeared.
After he first proposed the commercial tax, he then proposed the establishment of a tax supervision department to conduct random inspections and supervision of taxes in various places.
However, at that time, firstly, there were not enough officials in the court, and secondly, this kind of thing still required a certain level of professionalism, at least one had to be good at arithmetic and understand accounts.
So I really can’t be satisfied for a while.
But this head tax is not included in the tax.
"Uncle, please sit down and tell me slowly, how is this poll tax collected?"
"Hey!" Now that everything was revealed, the man didn't hide it anymore: "Some time ago, the government first announced the collection of business taxes. You also know that our place is close to Dongyue, and the Dongyue people are rich, so there are many people doing business there. .”
"The county magistrate at that time was a good man. After collecting taxes, he also helped everyone repair dilapidated houses. When plowing the land, if anyone had no cattle, he would also like the government to pay some money to help everyone rent cattle. In addition, now there is Tang Li, and there are Water wheel, with potatoes.”
"If a family has too much food to eat, the county magistrate will hold a regular market for everyone to trade with each other. If it is barter and the food is small, he will not collect our business tax, even if everyone Neighbors exchange things with each other. These days, it seems to be getting better day by day."
"But who would have known... ugh..." the man sighed and continued: "Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The county magistrate had outstanding political affairs and was promoted and moved away, and then he was replaced by the current county magistrate."
Not sure whether it was intentional or unintentional, he spat aside: "The new county magistrate not only collects business taxes, but also said that we used to go to the fair opened by the previous magistrate to trade things, and we had to pay taxes. "
"He still collects business tax at a rate of thirty cents, but for us common people, it is difficult to price the things we trade, so we charge a head tax of one hundred cents per person per year."
The man pointed at his family: "Sir, look at my family. There are eleven people in my family. They have to pay one thousand one hundred yuan a year. What do you think we have traded? We have to pay one thousand one hundred yuan? This Aren’t we forced to have no way to survive? That’s why there are so many people on this road..."
Tang Ping understood that this was a new county magistrate here, and he made a clever name and started making money.
One hundred per person

Money, including children and the elderly, is really cruel.
"Then you just leave and the county doesn't care?"
"The county...the county hasn't issued an official document yet, but people are spreading the news, saying that the tax will be collected in this way soon. If the tax cannot be collected, people will be locked up. It is said that many of the mines in Duke Ping of Chang'an are short of workers. , are all sent to mine and mine coal!”
The man who said this shook his head: "It turns out that Tang Li said that the keel waterwheel that everyone uses was invented by Ping Guogong. There was a drought in the past two months, and a drilling team came from the state capital. He said that it was also Ping Guogong. He was invented. Everyone thought he was a good guy, but they didn’t expect..."
"What nonsense are you talking about..."
"Xiao Luo!" Tang Ping stopped Xiao Luo. Knowing that this girl didn't want others to slander her, he rubbed her head and motioned for her to stop talking. He snorted angrily at the little girl, and then ran behind to ignore her. For Jing!
"I'm not talking nonsense. The county captain came to our village that day, but they heard everything he said in front of us!"
Not only members of his own family, but also the other family members nodded, indicating that they could testify.
"Okay, I understand this, but everyone, our Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful. Now that you have gone to East Vietnam, have you ever thought about it? I'm afraid it won't be easy to come back in the future."
"We also know, sir!" The man said with a bitter look on his face: "But what can we do? The county will definitely not give us a criminal record if we are like this. Should we go to other places to become refugees? Instead, they will say Dongyue has recently...recently..."
After hesitating for a moment, he said: "As long as there are Tang people in East Vietnam, their fields will be divided and they will be exempted from taxes for three years. It is better than being sent to Chang'an to mine coal!"
"In this case, everyone must be hungry too. It is fate that we meet, let's have a meal together!" Tang Ping said with a smile, and then said to Xiang Long: "Anyone who sees such people, please come over and let's eat together!"
There were many of them, and they brought a lot of food. Even if there were hundreds of people, they wouldn't be able to eat enough.
This is the only way to go to East Vietnam. Many of these people are old and young. It is impossible to get into the mountains and they can only take this road.
So after Xiao Luo reluctantly led people to prepare the meal, there was almost a group of people gathered here.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
There are hundreds of people.
At first, I was quite worried when I was stopped by these sergeants and brought here. However, when I saw that there were real people to eat here, they were from poor families. Seeing that there was meat in the food, I wasn't so afraid anymore.
Then Tang Ping chatted next to each other, and these people all said the same thing.
So the current situation is that either someone in the county really plans to make money like this, or someone in the county is spreading rumors, which will not only ruin their reputation, but also allow these people to move to East Vietnam.
Who is behind an incident can sometimes be known by looking at who is the beneficiary.
Tang Ping suspected that this matter was probably done by Dongyue. After all, Datang seemed to have a good relationship with Dongyue, but the people in power in Dongyue and himself had a deep hatred.
After all, their father-in-law was also killed by them. The Zhen family in Dongyue was afraid that they would help Wang Qingluan in revenge in the future, so it was normal for them to engage in such small tricks.
There are also several county officials involved. If it is the first case, these people are trying to make money, so it is easy to understand.
If it is the second situation, and you want to spread rumors, then most of them were bribed by the East Vietnamese.
After eating, a group of people looked at Tang Ping anxiously. Their behavior was illegal in the first place.
Although Tang Ping's identity is unknown, he can lead so many cavalry in the Tang Dynasty. How can he be an ordinary person?
In addition, he is young and is unlikely to be a high-ranking official, so he is probably a relative of the emperor.
I have to say that their guess was pretty accurate.
"How did everyone eat?" Tang Ping asked.
"My lord, we are reluctant to eat so much meat even during the Chinese New Year. Could you please tell us the names of your lords?"
Tang Ping smiled and did not answer, but just said: "This meal should be eaten at home to make it taste better. If you go to Dongyue, will you still be able to eat such delicious food?"
First, the man in the family said: "Sir, we know you are a good person, but we...we are really!"
"I know, I know, it's not easy for everyone, so you see, I don't blame you. It's just that I have a better way out here. Do you want to hear it?"
