"Everyone, under the solitary rule, we have always treated everyone equally."
"No matter who they are, as long as they surrender, they will have the same identity and status."
"The Qiang people don't get any preferential treatment, but they don't treat them any differently either. The same goes for you."
"Qin's laws are relatively strict. However, if you live a decent life, the government will never make things difficult for you!"
This explanation made the people happy and sad.
Thinking of being able to bully people from other races naturally ruined the plan.
But those who want to live a stable life will naturally be extremely happy.
In this turbulent era, it is good to be alive.
Most people do not expect to be rich and powerful.
I just hope that men farm and women weave and live their lives in peace.
Stability is their most anticipated goal.
Isn’t the Liangzhou in King Qin’s mouth exactly what they dream of?
Suddenly, most people had a decision in their hearts.
Still, there are concerns.
"King Qin, I wonder how much taxes the state of Qin has?"
Soon, someone was brave enough to ask questions.
The thing that brought down a dynasty was none other than heavy taxes.
When taxes became too high for farmers to bear, revolts followed.
If taxes are light, the people will be rich and live a prosperous and healthy life.
However, the court will be very barren.
On the contrary, after taxes were raised, the court became rich, but the people found it difficult to survive.
Therefore, whether life is stable or not, the environment is only one part, and the other part is taxes.
Of course, the people are not fooling around. At present, wars are frequent, princes in various places are divided and hegemony, and the food tax in each region is very high.
Therefore, as long as Liu Zhang's taxes are not too excessive, they are acceptable.
"Since the tax rate has been mentioned, let me briefly talk about it."
"The current tax rate in Qin is one out of every ten taxes."
As soon as these words came out, the people couldn't help but frown slightly.
A little disappointed, but only a little disappointed.
Ten taxes and one tax are already relatively benevolent in troubled times.
After all, in peacetime, the tax rate is probably one for fifteen.
"May I ask the King of Qin, do you have to pay copper coins for taxes?"
After raising the question, the people all looked at Liu Zhang nervously.
The question of tax rates has been answered, and what to pay for taxes has once again become the focus of people's attention.
The reason is also very simple. Before the Han Dynasty, there was a unified requirement that copper coins must be handed over.
People need to sell their grain and pay taxes.
This means that the price of food will be lowered by profiteers, which will invisibly increase the tax rate.
Liu Zhang smiled helplessly.
These low-level people don't know that there is a chamber of commerce in Qin State at all. When they find out about it, they don't know how surprised they will be.
There was no deliberate delay, Liu Zhang responded immediately.
"Qin's taxes can be paid at will, whether in copper coins or in kind!"
As soon as these words came out, the people were all pleasantly surprised.
Just about to jump for joy.
This decision almost locked the tax rate to a level of one out of ten.
One out of ten taxes is certainly acceptable!
At this moment, Liu Zhang spoke again.
"By the way, I may not have expressed it clearly. Ten taxes and one tax are calculated on a per-household basis, not on a head-to-head basis."
"Everyone...can you understand?"
As soon as these words came out, the people were all stunned and did not react for a while.
But a moment later, it exploded.
Wow. . . !
The discussion instantly spread all along the Yellow River.
Everyone was so shocked that their breathing stopped and they didn't dare to take a breath, for fear that this was a sweet dream and they would be woken up!
are you crazy?
Who is crazy?
The ten taxes and one tax is already quite benevolent, but I didn’t expect that it would be a ten tax and one tax per household.
And you can also pay taxes in kind!
Qin State is simply a paradise for ordinary people!
"The King of Qin is benevolent!"
"The King of Qin is unparalleled in his benevolence and righteousness..."
"The King of Qin is really... really..."
. . .
The people knelt down one after another and kept kowtowing to express gratitude.
Some people are uneducated and don't know what to say to express their gratitude, and end up holding it in until their faces turn red.
In short, it is a sincere sigh.
God, King Qin is simply the best person in the world!
That is to say, the common people today do not know Buddhism, otherwise they would burn incense and make offerings to Liu Zhang, thinking that he is a living Bodhisattva who has descended to earth!
However, what the people did not expect was that Liu Zhang's benevolence was far more than that!
After the scene gradually quieted down, Liu Zhang once again spoke of his benevolent government towards these people.
"When we arrived in Liangzhou, the Guhui ordered the governor's office to allocate farmland and distribute farm tools based on family units. In order to increase the enthusiasm for work, free cattle were distributed!"
Wow. . . !
As soon as he finished speaking, the restlessness that had just subsided was completely uncontrollable.
Cattle?
Oh my god, what is a farm cow?
This is a treasure everywhere!
Anyone who dares to eat beef will be beheaded!
When they heard that free cattle were being distributed, the people all went crazy, and some even fainted from excitement.
Previously in Wei State, Cao Cao had also provided cattle for farming, but it was just a lease.
40% of the harvested grain must be handed over every year!
Even so, the people continued to rent like crazy, and in the end the government had no cattle to rent.
After the defeat of Nanjun, Cao Cao was in short supply of supplies and changed the rental fee to 60%!
That is to say, the people have to spend 60% of their food to pay taxes.
Even so, the demand for farm cattle still exceeds supply!
But what about Qin? Not only are the cattle distributed free of charge, but the tax is only one per ten, and the tax per ten per household is one per household.
In peaceful times, this is unimaginable!
"The King of Qin is so benevolent...!"
"The King of Qin is simply an old and reborn parent...!"
"King Qin is really... really..."
There was another burst of kneeling and worship, and another continuous and endless singing of praises.
At this moment, more than 300,000 people completely gave up the idea of returning to their hometowns.
I didn’t go back to my hometown until my brain was kicked by a donkey!
As long as you work hard and don't complain, won't a good life be within your reach?
However, the people did not expect that Liu Zhang's kindness did not stop at farming cattle!
"We will also provide corresponding policies to ensure that you settle down in Liangzhou."
"In the first year, people who obey orders, obey orders, and cooperate with migration will be exempted from tax!"
"In the second year, half of the taxes will be collected!"
"In the third year, you will pay taxes as normal!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the situation became uncontrollable and threatened to explode at any time.
Liu Zhang waved his hands repeatedly to indicate silence.
At this moment, the majesty of King Qin can be seen.
The people all obeyed their orders and would rather suffocate to death without any complaints!
"Everyone, there are nearly one million Di people from Liangzhou who have surrendered to Qiang, and most of them are women."
"As long as you work hard and cultivate wasteland seriously, the government will allocate women to help you start a family in the future!"
