Chapter 3505: New Events in Xiliang

Due to brain problems in Liangzhou and Chen Xi was too lazy to receive taxes from the Qiang people who ran around everywhere, he turned to the Qiang people to fight instead of the Han Dynasty, using blood tax as a tax model, which led to the people of Liangzhou being particularly dissatisfied.

Why? Why can the Qiang people not pay taxes? I don’t want to pay taxes either.

When Chen Xi received a reply from Liangzhou officials, he laughed. I will give you Liangzhou subsidies every day. Some of you do pay taxes, but most of you eat subsidies. Moreover, after taking over by Chen Xi, Liangzhou did not grow much grain. He mainly planted some cash crops such as grapes, wolfberry, cantaloupe, and cotton. All of them are operated by the state.

At most, Chen Xi asked Liangzhou people to work and pay wages. As for the so-called head tax and verbal money, Chen Xi was not very interested because he was too open and honest.

The tax method of letting the people pay money directly is better than deducting it directly when paying money. At least the latter one is far better than the first one for people in terms of senses. As long as you pass any cash through your hands, people will have a sense of reality when given.

But the money has never fallen into his own hands. If it is just a concept, most people will be in a state of indifference. If it weren't for the fact that they still couldn't provide everyone with the opportunity to work, and then rely on the method of harvesting surplus labor instead of calculating tuition, Chen Xi wanted to cut off even the money he said, but there wasn't much anyway.

The taxes in the Han Dynasty were not heavy, and land was thirty-two taxes, but due to all kinds of messy things and non-self-cultivated farmers, the real taxes could reach 60% to 70%. Chen Xi drove the aristocratic family away, and then the government could even do terrible things like gathering villages and villages. The execution of the regime was directly delegated to the countryside, saying that 30% of the tax was collected, but 30% of the tax was charged, and all the others were killed.

So the current taxes for normal people are actually land tax and verbal money. As for local levies, Chen Xi knocked them over one by one, which was completely settled.

This is why the so-called five hundred years of saints emerged, with the sea and the rivers clear, and Chen Zichuan was the lonely moon in the sky.

After this, the people can actually live a good life. In ancient times, it is enough to call it a prosperous era. As for the remaining verbal money and tuition, there are many things for other dynasties, and for Chen Xi, it is really just a wash and sleep.

The Han Dynasty stipulated that one person would pay 120 yuan a year from the age of fifteen to fifty-six, and one person would pay 20 yuan a year from the age of seven to fourteen. This is the largest tax and fee for the Han Dynasty. When the population reaches 50 million, one person would receive 30 to 4 billion yuan in taxes.

It is a very important tax, but as long as Chen Xi can continue to create jobs for the people, according to the standards of working in the Han Dynasty county, the income of 900 yuan per month can be generated by the people of Chen Xi from about 2,000 to 3,000 yuan.

Just count it in less. If you are engaged in water conservancy, roads, bridge construction, the benefits and sustainable income will be endless.

This is also why Chen Xi is very insensitive to vocabulary and is not even very active in collecting money. Isn’t it much better to arrange jobs for the people and harvest the invisible surplus of labor than this way that affects the people’s mood?

It is only possible to reap 120 yuan for a person, but a very hard-working person gets 10,800 yuan a year, even if the factory is calculated one-to-one with extremely inefficient returns, the factory should be able to reap the same size of money. Isn’t this a win-win situation?

Work hard and create a harmonious future. How good is it? Why bother to do something about it? It is easy to be scolded by the people for being harsh.

However, what Chen Xi has no choice is that in the current society, Chen Xi cannot provide job opportunities to tens of millions of people. In fact, job opportunities have always been monopolized by a few people before the 20th century, and those who want to work are exploited back and forth.

Therefore, Chen Xi expressed his understanding of Liangzhou people's tax resistance. Anyway, it was only 120 yuan to calculate the tax. No, you want to fight, right? Okay, prepare weapons and equipment for you. As long as you pass the qualification, someone will accept it in the west, so a group of Liangzhou left happily.

After all, the status of soldiers in this era has not yet fallen to the level of Qiu Ba. Although it is far inferior to the status of "a brave man and a marquis and a marquis in the Spring and Autumn Period" in the Song and Autumn Period, and even the words of Mud Legs have been heard from the mouths of the aristocratic families, the military merit system will not be abolished for a day. Even a clan like Yuan Yang can only despise the individuals in it and cannot despise the group.

Then Chen Xi gave all the money to his soldiers. Anyway, according to the value of the market, the price of dim sum and dry goods at the end of the year is higher than that of the money. What should I collect? Just use it as a benefit. In addition, the people of Liangzhou basically do not farm at present, and even if they plant, they will grow some strange cash crops in state-owned farms.

As long as the Liangzhou people joined the army, they would be liberated on the spot and there was no tax. As for the verbal money, Chen Xi was not interested in collecting candy money for children aged seven to fourteen. Since he knew that there was this tax, he had a perfunctory attitude of paying for it and not paying it.

If this tax was not tradition, Chen Xi would have abolished this tax long ago, only twenty cents, what to charge, it was laborious and troublesome, and he had to collect it one by one. With this time, if you find a suitable job to work for a few days, maybe one person would have paid out a lot of money from a child.

However, what made Chen Xi speechless was that the Qin and Han bureaucrats had excellent ability to collect money. This group of people tied their verbal money to demographic statistics. After paying the verbal money, the government office registered this child of children of appropriate age and went to study at the age. The princess of the New Year also sent the snacks according to this order.

In this way, I can get a good deal of money over the years. After all, the people are very good at tuition. They only have twenty dollars, and they wait for dim sum twice a year, not to mention that they can be kept at least a meal when they go to school. I have to hand over it.

Chen Xi's idea of ​​abolishing taxes and fees was killed by his overly strong government affairs management capabilities. In this case, unless Chen Xi directly abolished the verbal money, the people of the Central Plains would be happy to pay the twenty cents.

After all, the quality of snacks distributed during the official New Year Festival is very reliable. The leading pastry chef is definitely the best among the people in the world. The materials and materials are also the most cost-effective in various places. In addition, the ingredients are honest and the patterns are exquisite. After all, it is concentrated on the advantages of each place. The scale is large enough and the cost is diluted...

If it weren't for protecting small workshops in various places, Chen Xi could kill all the workshops that made snacks in the local area, because the materials of those people could only be adapted to local conditions and limited by logistics costs. It was impossible to do it compared to royal dim sum with master command and integrating the advantageous materials of various places.

This is also an important reason why the verbal money can always be collected with good luck. People also know how to take advantage of it. What's more, although there is no spare money all year round, every time I collect verbal money, I just sold out the food and was at the richest time. Therefore, I even paid a snack to my son who was not born.

After all, Liu Tong's dim sum is only distributed on the official New Year's Day. At other times, you can't buy it even if you want to. The money is only 20 yuan, and the dim sum is worth 100 yuan. If Chen Xi had not asked the official to crack down on this behavior, some people would even want to purchase from the official fifty yuan.

Therefore, Chen Xi was too lazy to evaluate the short-sighted behavior of Liangzhou people. Anyway, you should be happy and always express your understanding of the people's behavior.

Under this premise, those soldiers who practiced very well and were healthy in Liangzhou because Chen Xi allocated grain, vegetables and meat, and could withstand even more crazier training. Without excellent soldiers and generals, they cultivated a talent by instinct, and then snatched a horse from the north or picked up a horse. After registering, they ran to the Western Regions to pretend that they were the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.

This is why there are almost 50,000 strong Liangzhou soldiers in the Pamirs. In fact, at the beginning there were more than 100,000. Li Jue made a rough selection and finally found that he was given a specialized defense talent, so he sent the outstanding people among the group to maintain public order, and all the chickens were driven back.

I originally planned to select a group of young people, Wan Peng took training and then added to Zhang Xiu's command, but before this was done, the situation became what it is now.

When it was confirmed that Cao Cao would attack Kushan, Li Jue sent Song Guo back to recruit 20,000 people from the Pamir Mountains. Anyway, for Li Jue, whether it was the Xiliang soldiers who had not yet formed or the Qiang cavalry, they were all garbage. They just had to raise the number from the shorts and get the best fight of 20,000.

Now there are 20,000 people. More than 4,000 of them were originally elites who had filled the three fools with the three talents, but they have not yet been formed. Among the remaining 16,000 Qiang cavalry, there are 5,000 Qiang cavalry.

These five thousand Qiang cavalry are the new generation of Qiang King Guards. The old Qiang King Guards were eliminated almost half of them because of this selection. The new Qiang cavalry gathered together with another five thousand people. The remaining ten thousand were all Liangzhou warriors, and the leader was the thorns represented by Wang Shuang.

Hua Xiong likes thorns very much. Liangzhou is a place where he is trusted. Hua Xiong led thousands of smoke-filled cavalry to fight these ten thousand people first.

If we had not had to fight against Kushan next, this time we would have been training with real swords and guns instead of training weapons that were not Kaifeng. The final result was self-evident, and thousands of outstanding young and strong men were defeated by Hua Xiong and his subordinates.

Wang Shuang and others were among the group of people who had to hold on until the end, but it was meaningless. The Divine Iron Cavalry and the Three Silly Guards survived until the end, and none of them lay down.
