This policy is completed and promulgated by the state government.
The ten counties and two tributary states of Liangzhou need to comply with the regulations and must not violate them. All expenses should be paid by the wealthy Liangzhou Prefecture, benefiting the entire Liangzhou registered population.
If people who are not on the household registration want to enjoy this preferential policy, it is not impossible, but they need to register their household registration with the local government within three months and report the family members and address. After the government sends someone to verify it, they will be eligible to enjoy the relevant benefits. corresponding benefits.
All in all, everything is linked to household registration, and everything is linked to population. The Liangzhou government can pay for benefits, but you must be registered with the Liangzhou government, and you must have a clear population, address, and industry. It is a formal tax-paying household registration.
It’s not a tax account. Sorry, I don’t have any benefits for you.
Some people have seen that Liu Bei's policy is not only to leverage the future population, but also to leverage the current population.
Liu Bei determined that there were still a large number of people in Liangzhou who were not included in official statistics. If they wanted to obtain the visible real money, they had to appear on the household registration, and gave them three months to register.
This will inevitably lead to a group of people who are not on the household registration records to re-enter the household registration records, allowing the Liangzhou government to control more registered people and obtain more tax bases.
In the long run, the benefits are greater.
However, it is not completely without problems. Whether these household registrations that are not in the household registration records are free status or non-free status, whether they are their own wishes or whether they are smoke bombs released by landlords and other powerful people who hide their household registrations to defraud the government. Easy to say.
Therefore, Liu Bei also made some corresponding preparation measures. Once a powerful family intends to use the household registration controlled by his family to defraud government benefits, it is equivalent to giving Liu Bei an opportunity to exploit the situation.
Of course, with the credibility that the Liangzhou government had in the past, it is very difficult to roll out this policy. It is difficult for people to believe that the government will really give money to encourage childbirth, so the government must take the initiative and show its sincerity. .
Liu Bei ordered the first synchronized action to be carried out in the administrative offices of the ten counties and two subordinate countries, and sent commissioners from the state pastoral offices to supervise. He asked the officials in the administrative offices of the ten counties and two subordinate countries to take the initiative to visit people to understand the fertility situation of the people, and took the lead in launching a round of active subsidies, and will The government's new policy was widely publicized.
Give rice, give money, give sheep, and strive to let Liangzhou people know in a short time that the government's policy of encouraging childbirth has been fully implemented, and fully understand it, and be willing to take the initiative to have children.
Families with children over seven years old who are paying the oral tax are registered and sent to the state, and the state government helps pay the oral tax. From now on, they do not need to bear the oral tax. This fee is paid by the state with special funds. Help pay.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in order to survive and compete for hegemony, those countries actually made concessions to benefit the people. Many policies were implemented relatively well. There is no reason why what could be done back then cannot be done now.
It's just that the Luoyang court and the former Liangzhou government didn't want to do it and couldn't bear the money.
But Liu Bei was willing and willing to spend money, and he had money to spend.
Liangzhou does not have great agricultural potential, but it can not only support a population of 500,000 people, nor is Liangzhou just a piece of land that can be occupied by 500,000 Han people.
If the Han people do not occupy this place where civilizations meet, other ethnic groups will naturally occupy it, thrive here, and claim sovereignty over it.
Liu Bei, who had consolidated his status and power after returning from victory, launched a second round of reform and governance in Liangzhou. He adopted a deeply involved attitude in all aspects of Liangzhou and actively and effectively governed Liangzhou. In just over a year, he gave Liangzhou has brought about real and huge changes.
Officials in the state capital can know exactly what Liu Bei has done by doing a little counting.
Collective farms, salt production industry, iron smelting industry, coal mining industry, animal husbandry industry, rose peach planting industry, elimination of the last ones, reform of official administration, sending troops to attack the Qiang people, sending troops to attack the Xianbei people, encouraging childbirth...
One by one, a lot of work has been done on Liangzhou's agriculture, industry and commerce, officialdom, military, and even civil affairs.
Some things have just been rolled out and the results are yet to be seen.
The results of some things have already occurred and are very significant.
It is conceivable that in the near future, Liangzhou will undergo tremendous changes at a speed visible to the naked eye. Liangzhou is moving from a state of decline to prosperity.
More and more farmers are returning to the land and starting to cultivate the land for agricultural production.
More and more merchants brought their own goods to trade with the Qiang tribe.
More and more craftsmen are working hard in various workshops, producing large amounts of salt and iron.
Officials had to change their past behavior due to the implementation of tough policies. Corruption and laziness became very risky things. Liu Bei hit them with a whip, forcing them to move forward, move forward, and move forward again.
Until they form the habit of moving forward.
No matter how long it lasts, at least in front of Liu Bei, they have to move forward and are not allowed to stop.
Everyone is moving forward under Liu Bei's urging and urging. No one has time to look around, no one has time to be distracted and do other things. Everyone is moving forward, step by step. This wave has already It swept across the officials of the ten counties and two vassal states of Liangzhou.
They also experienced firsthand the tangible changes this new situation had brought to their own lives.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about salt, they have experienced huge changes firsthand.
It is said that the new product of Liangzhou fine salt is the result of a brand-new technology developed by Liu Bei himself.
He improved the salt-making technology and now produces salt on a large scale in Jincheng County.
Liu Bei's officials and subordinates never expected that they, a fierce man who could fight and read, would have the leisure to engage in technological innovation!
It’s also very awesome!
The salt produced based on his technological innovation has been put into the Liangzhou market a few months ago following the government decree. The government-controlled salt shops are fully selling the new Liangzhou fine salt, which is cheaper than the original salt. No bitter taste.
Then it quickly took over the entire salt market in Liangzhou, and the sales were very hot.
After the reform, all official operating agencies in Liangzhou were brought under the control of the Financial Affairs Department by Liu Bei, and his confidant Zhen Yan was the main person in charge.
Under Zhen Yan's leadership, in just three months, the income from selling salt has become an important part of the state government's fiscal revenue.
The reason why Liu Bei promoted the policy of encouraging childbirth at this time was because the income from selling salt in Liangzhou was very considerable, and this money was of great help to the Liangzhou capital.
The powerful private sector households in Liangzhou who originally made their fortune by selling salt no longer have a market. No one will buy their salt anymore, and they have no way to survive after being squeezed out.
These fat and muscular guys were originally local snakes that even the governor of the state would be afraid of, but in front of Liu Bei, they were just ants that could be crushed to death with just a few hands.
They did not dare to resist Liu Bei, who had a large army and was famous. They were even more worried that Liu Bei would check their accounts and taxes, so they begged Liu Bei collectively for mercy and a way to survive.
They collected a large amount of money and donated it to Liangzhou Prefecture in the name of donation.
It is said that it was an amount that even the eunuchs in Luoyang would be excited about.
Liu Bei, who returned from victory, accepted the money and used part of the money to buy out all the salt production lines controlled by each family, including the craftsmen, unifying the salt manufacturing market in Liangzhou.
Then Liu Bei made an agreement with them that they could continue to sell salt, but they could not sell salt in Liangzhou. Liangzhou was the private land of the government, and the government needed the money to do big things.
They can spend money to buy fine salt from the government, and the government will give them preferential prices and official certificates.
Then, go to the Western Regions.
Go to places where Liu Bei has not yet spared the energy to explore, take risks, explore, bravely leave your comfort zone, and challenge your weaknesses.
Liu Bei just needs their comfort zone to stay.
