The end result of this thing is to kill some people.
Everyone involved in this incident was ordered to be executed, and no one was left alive.
The people of Liangzhou under Liu Bei were satisfied with the result. They praised Liu Bei's decisiveness and requested that it be spread to all directions so that all Xiaoxiao with evil intentions could see clearly the consequences of going against Liu Bei.
It seems that the people of Liangzhou are really cruel when faced with the disobedient Liu Bei.
When this kind of existence appeared, they were very eager to destroy all this kind of existence, trying to prove that the people of Liangzhou would never disobey Liu Bei.
There was no way, they needed Liu Bei too much, and they couldn't lose Liu Bei's favor.
Similarly, Liu Bei cannot lose the support of Liangzhou people at present.
Therefore, Liu Bei appreciates this kind of ruthlessness. The more ruthless they are, the more they prove that their foundation in Liangzhou has been solid, which is a good thing.
As for the mere Cheng Gongying and the five unlucky families, no one cares, they will die as soon as they die.
After their deaths, all the properties of these six families were taken over by the state, and four new collective farms were planned based on their properties.
After solving this small matter, Liu Bei is going to do big things.
Liu Bei took stock of the wealth currently accumulated in Liangzhou Prefecture, and felt that it was almost time, so he announced his intention to promote Liangzhou-wide policies to encourage childbirth.
Because the population of Liangzhou was too small, it was obviously not conducive to the government's control of Liangzhou's territory and the long-term development of Liangzhou. In order to encourage fertility, Liu Bei referred to the methods of some countries during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and formulated many strategies to encourage fertility in Liangzhou.
That is, if a family is willing to have a child, it will be reported to the Liangzhou government after the birth of one child. The government will immediately give a gift of 1,000 yuan and a sheep.
For every additional child, there are two thousand more coins and two more sheep.
Families with two children are exempted from corvee for two years from the birth of their second child, and families with three or more children are exempted from corvee for three years from the birth of their third child.
Families with three children report to the government, and the government can pay for you to hire a nanny to help take care of the daily life at home, and help raise the children for free until they are seven years old.
Each county will establish a nursery hospital dedicated to pregnant women. The state government will hire experienced doctors, stable mothers, etc. to sit in the hospital. Pregnant women can receive free treatment in this nursery hospital for any diseases they have during pregnancy.
Not only that, when pregnant women give birth to a baby, they can also go directly to a nursery hospital to wait for delivery, where professionals will help give birth to increase the survival rate of the baby and mother.
If pregnant women find it difficult to work and are unable to help their families increase their income, the government will provide subsidies. From the third month of pregnancy until the time of childbirth, the government will give a month's rations to families with pregnant women every month to ensure that pregnant women Won't go hungry.
Finally, in order to completely eliminate people's doubts about childbirth, Liu Bei, as the shepherd of Liangzhou, announced that the children born to families registered in the household registration records of the Liangzhou government would have to pay all the oral taxes during their growth period by the Liangzhou government. Pay.
Families with many children do not need to worry about financial issues.
You just have to have children, and I will pay someone for this money.
This policy is also valid for existing households with multiple children and will take effect immediately.
Although no one in the government dared to publicly oppose the policy Liu Bei planned to implement, there were actually many people who questioned it at internal meetings.
The core question is actually the question of Liu Bei's tenure as pastor of Liangzhou.
Liu Bei can naturally promote this policy when he is here, but how long can he be the pastor of Liangzhou?
The core policy to encourage childbearing is the oral tax payment policy, which is the core of promoting childbirth in Liangzhou.
However, this policy does not take effect immediately after the child is born, but will take effect after the child is seven years old. The court will also wait until the child is seven years old before collecting oral taxes. If you give birth to a child now, after seven years, Liu Bei will definitely not be in Liangzhou. The pastor was appointed.
Will the next Liangzhou governor accept this policy?
Aren’t you just leaving for tea?
At that time, the people in Liangzhou who responded to this policy were dumbfounded. After they gave birth to a child, what about the oral tax that the government promised to pay on their behalf?
They live in poverty. Even if their three or four children can afford food, how can they afford the money?
From seven to twenty years old, thirteen years of oral education, how could an ordinary peasant family afford it?
If you can't afford it, you have to throw it away. Isn't that a sin?
Gai Xun understands all this, and although he does not want to oppose this obviously conscientious policy, if conscience is used in the wrong place, or if conscience does not last long enough, it will no longer be conscience, and it will kill many, many people.
So he advised Liu Bei.
"This policy is being promoted now. In the short term, it will definitely encourage a group of people who want to get money, sheep, and grain donated by the government to have children. They will definitely have children. They cannot see the hidden dangers after seven years. This is for them Too cruel.
Nowadays, there are indeed families who need help from the government to raise children, but there are more families who can afford to raise many children. This does not mean much to them. Of course, I also hope that Junhou can serve in Liangzhou for a long time, but... it's out of the question. "
Gai Xun mustered up a lot of courage before he dared to speak to Liu Bei.
After saying that, he took off his official hat, saluted and apologized to Liu Bei, saying that he was at his disposal.
Liu Bei walked up to him in front of everyone, put his official hat back on him, and held his hand.
"After seven years, I will definitely no longer be the pastor of Liangzhou. It is not even certain whether I will have the official position of pastor in Liangzhou. But I can guarantee that as long as I am still alive, this policy will still be in place in Liangzhou seven years later." If this continues, in the future, the oral tax, this extremely unreasonable and cruel tax, will disappear forever, and the burden on the government and the people will disappear."
The officials present were all shocked when they heard this.
Gai Xun also looked at Liu Bei in shock.
They have always believed that Liu Bei was a very conscientious officer. It was outrageous that such an officer appeared in this world and was even a bit conscientious.
But they didn't expect that Liu Bei's conscience was a little bigger than they imagined.
For the high-ranking Luoyang gentlemen, raising taxes will become an addiction, while reducing taxes will cause a withdrawal reaction.
This obvious evil policy of oral taxation is something that everyone can understand. It is too inhumane to tax children.
But who can completely eliminate this tax?
Abolition of this tax is equivalent to taking away a small piece of cake from the bureaucracy. Although the amount is not large, it is not enough to affect the overall situation, and it will not even affect the gentlemen to drink and eat meat. But even if there is only one peanut missing, gentlemen It is also intolerable.
So if Liu Bei really does this, for the bureaucrats who are counting on this small piece of cake to live a luxurious life, it will be no less than killing his parents.
To force this reform and eliminate this tax, we must be prepared to go to war with Luoyang's bureaucracy.
Is Liu Bei planning to go to war with the Luoyang court?
Can he succeed?
The officials of Liangzhou Prefecture instinctively wanted to be suspicious, but this was partly offset by the absolute authority established by Liu Bei.
They didn't know whether what Liu Bei said was true, or whether what Liu Bei wanted to accomplish could succeed.
There is no way, Liu Bei's prestige is too high.
Even if he has no more long-term ideas and just wants to gain political achievements and increase the population of Liangzhou, he will not care about anything after he leaves, and his subordinate officials will not be able to stop Liu Bei.
Finally, the policy was successfully promulgated.
