Chapter 695 The third (1)(1/2)
Seeing this situation, the reinforcements immediately retreated. Where could they have time? Yao Xiong led the cavalry out of the battlefield and immediately chased after him. He was about to reach the city of Baozhou, Yao Xiong led his men to kill him.
Just in the southeastern river valley under the eyes of the defenders of Baozhou City, one side-by-side battle started again.
But this time, Wang Ju was mainly benevolence and righteous. Seeing that the reinforcements were scattered and fled, Yao Xiong ordered his men to shout loudly in local dialects, and surrendered with his head and refused to kill him.
In fact, there were quite a lot of troops in Baozhou. In addition to this force of nearly 10,000 rescue troops, there were nearly 10,000 guards in the city. However, seeing that the Song army was so fierce, they did not dare to go out of the city to rescue them, so they watched Yao Xiong take Yu's army to the distance.
The war on the other side is over.
However, more than 20,000 enemy soldiers fled, and in the end, more than 10,000 defeated soldiers successfully fled to Dali City and joined Yang Yizhen's army.
There is no way to do this. Although the four battles were not counted except for the Huanzhou Village, the main purpose of that battle was to force Yang Yizhen's troops into the Huazhubu River Valley. The remaining three battles were the real annihilation. These three battles were all launched in river valleys or valleys, and the battlefield could be considered relatively open.
But there are vast mountains around, with lush vegetation. As long as you can escape from the battlefield, you have a high chance of escaping from the Song army.
As for the remaining two coalition forces, they were either killed or captured, including Gao Shengtai's uncle and nephew, Yang Zhenhe, all died in the chaos.
Yan Da sent people to continue to chase and suppress the fleeing enemy soldiers, and then asked the Song army in the rear to escort the food and supplies left by Gao Yang and his family to arrive at Huazhu tribe first to resettle. Then several armies gathered and slowly arrived at the city of Baozhou.
Wang Ju was looking through a huge amount of information in Shanchan City.
When entering Shanchan City, Wang Ju lived in the Gao family, but accidentally found a large amount of valuable information in the huge study of the Gao family. These include maps, household registration, tribal distribution, property, tax revenue of Dali's prefectures and counties.
Wang Ju estimated that the information in Dali City was not as detailed as the information in the Gao family. Even Wang Ju said: "Just relying on these information, it also shows that the Gao family has the intention of being unjust."
These information are too precious. Even if Wang Juguang sent scouts, the information they inquired was less than one-tenth of that of these information.
He immediately summoned several capable managers to sort them out.
He also had to watch it himself, and at least he had to read it, so that he could have a comprehensive understanding of Dali. He also sent people to continue interrogating the powerful leaders detained in the city, and further supplementing the information with their confessions.
After reading for a few days, he felt dizzy and then Wang Ju walked out of the study and called Huang Hua for discussion, mainly to discuss the exemption of money.
In the future, the income of Yunnan Road will be one or two taxes. Because it is a light tax system of ten taxes and one or one, the income is actually not high.
The second is commercial tax. After Wang Ju defeated the local tyrants, he could basically implement the commercial tax policy. As long as it was commercial tax, the commercial tax was still considerable. Moreover, Wang Ju planned to use the advantages of the Fuliang River Waterway to communicate with Jiaozhi, at least to radiate the southeastern Dali. This item depends on whether the ancient Tea-Horse Road can be further expanded and the commercial roads will be expanded with the Tubo Plateau.
So this commercial tax will become the main source of income for Yunnan Road in the future.
King Ju of Tea firmly disagrees, but instead plans tea trade to collect it together.
The second is salt, which is not a big problem, because the output of salt has always been very high. Although it is far away, waterways can be used to further save costs. In fact, before this, some salt was sold to Dali, and Dali had salt. However, the cost of well salt mining was higher than that of the salt price after the Song Dynasty.
Then we take advantage of the opportunity to defeat the local tyrants and collect some pit mines with high output and easy mining into state-owned. In addition, we need to move some arable land to be used as military farmland for future troops.
These have been discussed long ago.
However, the money for exemption has not been discussed, and it is mainly difficult to figure out how many servants will be needed in Dali in the future and how many households will be in Dali.
However, with the official operation of Dali, the exemption of service will be settled. Without a clear and transparent tax system, people will be worried if they are ambiguous.
Also, once Dali is taken down, the court will send many migrant officials to govern.
But now there are many messy things in the new policy, such as Qingmiao Loan, Market Interpretation Law and other things. Once implemented here, and if the officials have a bad style, it will be very deceptive.
So we have to settle the tax system first and make the tax system a pre-set. The court will take into account the particularity of Dali, so we dare not change or add a messy tax system at will.
Wang Ju said: "This is the number of households in Dali, with a total of more than 400,000 households, but almost all the custodial areas are not included in the household registration, and the phenomenon of hidden households is more serious than that of our dynasty. Therefore, I estimate that the total number of households in Dali is about 800,000."
"There should be similar for the minor insurance policy, but I guess there will be a little more."
"But some really can't count, such as Tengchong Prefecture and Jingfeng, the northwest region of Shanju County, and the southwest region of Yongchang Prefecture. Even if our dynasty comes to govern, it will still be a real ban area in the future."
"Yes, it's better to manage the Southwest Yi seriously than to manage the area here."
The western part of Shanju County is the Hengduan Mountains. It is undoubtedly a very difficult task to carefully manage the Hengduan Mountains in this tragic era.
As for 90% of the Tengchong Prefecture area is northwestern Myanmar, including a small part of the future Indian territory, the famous Wild Man Mountain. Even the Wild Man Mountain is only located in the middle of Tengchong Prefecture. The real Tengchong Prefecture boundary has to go far west and reach the border of India. As for the more miserable Jingfeng area, let alone the Jingfeng area, you can manage the entire Southeast Asia...
However, these three areas are all places with vast land and sparsely populated places and are extremely backward. It doesn’t matter if they are not managed. They are not the core areas of Dali, just be detained.
Wang Ju said again: "But after evenly dividing the land, most of the hidden households can be counted, so I think the last household can have more than 500,000 households."
In fact, it is not the same, but there are some areas, such as the western part of the Moutong Prefecture, which is mostly snow-capped plateau areas, as well as other places with harsh terrain, and Jianchang Prefecture, which is close to Yazhou. There are many foreign people here, who used to maintain a close attitude towards most of the Song Dynasty, so there is no need to start. Furthermore, the Wumeng tribe area of Dongchuan Prefecture, in order to quickly pacify, many areas still used the recruitment policy, so they had to continue to be detained.
This is a real restriction, so it is impossible to count the specific number of households.
So Wang Ju estimated that there were about 500,000 households.
This is very important. Only by obtaining the specific number of households can we estimate the number of future service personnel, calculate the approximate recruitment money, and then facilitate the allocation.
Huang Hua said: "Young insurance, you shouldn't be too optimistic. Calculate it in 500,000 households."
"I plan to be around 500,000 households to 55 households. I plan to divide them into five households according to the standards of our dynasty."
Huang Hua nodded.
Don’t think that if you divide the cultivated land evenly, you will be waiting for the same household.
Even if Wang Ju takes ruthless measures, he can actually divide the land equally, probably only more than 40%. Of course, these are areas with relatively developed civilizations and dense populations. Although the area may be more than 40% of Dali, the population can be close to 70%. But as long as most of them can be included in the household registration, it can be called true governance in a sense. Just like Huanqing Prefectures, how many of the households placed on the household registration have reached?
Therefore, even if the remaining households are counted, various taxes are still a big problem because of the restrictions.
Even if the cultivated land is divided equally, there are still some poor and backward areas, they are still fifth-class households. However, the most are fourth-class households. Even in a few developed areas, some third-class households can be produced.
In addition, there are some big families who accumulate good deeds and virtues. Wang Ju let them go, some prisoners who can control the rulings and retained merchants. These people will produce some first- and second-class households.
This must also be clearly divided. Otherwise, taxes will be a big problem in the future.
Wang Ju said again: "I plan to charge 400 cents of each household for the fourth-class household to exempt the service, and the third-class household is Yishen. The second-class household is five-shen, and the first-class household is ten-shen."
In fact, this equally divided land. If Wang Ju further promoted the development of farming technology, these areas would be a paradise in the future. Because the merger of the Song Dynasty was already very serious, just like the Liangzhe Road after the statistics, the main households were about 1.4 million, and the fifth-class households were about one million households. The five counties in Suzhou have not less than 150,000 households, and from the third-class to the first-class households. This shows that the population of Liangzhe Road is now extremely dense, and it is only the main household. There are more than 30% of the customers in the Song Dynasty, which means that the Liangzhe Road has reached two million households!
Secondly, it proves the seriousness of the merger. Two million households, the number of households above the fourth grade is only 400,000. The households in the fourth grade are households with food and clothing, and the households in the third grade are considered well-off, and the remaining households are poor. In other words, the proportion of poor households has reached 80%!
Of course, if it weren't for this situation, the court wouldn't have agreed to Wang Ju to migrate so many people overseas.
However, after Wang Ju's "land reform", the number of first- and second-class households in Dali may decline in the future, but more than 50% of the households in the fourth-class or above may exceed 50%!
What is a fourth-class household? According to the Song Dynasty, it has thirteen to thirty-one acres of first-class land, or sixteen to forty-one acres of first-class land. This first-class land is rarely found in Dali. Most of it is a third-class land or land below the third-class land, and thirty-eight acres of third-class land, and 25 to 62 acres of third-class land. If it is a standard thin field, it is 66 to 166 acres of first-class land.
I planned to pay 40 mu of four- and fifth-class land to the fourth-class household, and pay 400 million yuan of exemption from service. In fact, according to the tax system in Dali in the past, 40 mu of middle-class land had to pay at least two taxes and thirty stones. Now I only pay eight stones of taxes. The price of Dali grain is a bit low, but it is impossible that 22 stones of grain is only worth 400 cents, and in fact, one stone of rice is more than 400 cents.
Besides, after paying this 400 document, you don’t have to do corvee service anymore. Think about how heavy the corvee service was in Dali in the past.
Huang Hua pondered.
This violates the Song Dynasty system. The Song Dynasty divided households and other households and the levy of exemption from labor. Each state has its own standards for each state.
Just like Suzhou, although there are many households below the fifth grade, compared with many areas of Jinghu South Road, the fifth grade household is equivalent to the third grade household on Jinghu South Road, and the income of the third grade household may be equivalent to the first grade household on there.
It is not impossible to be unified. The key is that the second-level administration of the Song Dynasty is actually the prefecture, who listens to whom? Although there are head states in all walks of life, if the prefect of the head state is not given a temporary official such as a pacification manager, he will not have the right to mobilize the military supervisors of other prefectures. Then who listens to whom?
Therefore, the exemption law caused a lot of disturbances, just like Liangzhe Road, which implemented the exemption law. The people were dense and the number of households was scary, but the area was not large. This means that the number of servants was not needed, and the income of the people was much better than that of other roads. Therefore, if you take on the recruitment money, you won’t feel struggling, and there will undoubtedly be no complaints.
However, on Zizhou Road, the place is vast and mostly in mountainous areas, which means that the number of servants is too small to be small, and the people are sparse and poor, so many people feel the difficulty of levying the exemption money, so they complain.
This is the reason why the Bashu area is the most strongly opposed to the exemption law.
However, considering its particularity, Wang Ju had already written to a letter to establish regular strategic envoys, promotion envoys, transshipment envoys, criminal envoys, farming envoys and general managers of military and horses, which are actually equivalent to using the route as a secondary administrative organization, and the prefectures as a third-level administrative organization, so adjustments can be made.
For example, in some poor areas, there are many fifth-class households, and the recruitment money cannot pay the salary of the servants, so the excess recruitment money can be transferred from other wealthy states and prefectures. As long as the overall recruitment money is maintained, the salary of the servants can be paid on the salary of the servants along the way is enough. It is also equivalent to reducing the burden on the people in poor areas.
But this basis is the fundraising money collected, which can afford to pay the salary of the entire Yunnan Road in the future.
He thought for a long time and said, "Young Guarantee. Too much is not enough."
“Why?”
"Shaobao, I understand your intention. If you want to reduce taxes and pay less, then the people here can quickly settle down. However, in order to raise funds for the raising money and surplus, other regions even pay levies to the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade households. But here, the fifth grade households will not pay levies, so how can officials in the inland states think? And it is too relaxed, and in the future, officials who like to study will increase taxes to seek political achievements."
"This is indeed the case..."
"Also, the vastness of Yunnan Road in the future is unimaginable. Although there are many big rivers, they are all the upper sources of big rivers. The water flow is turbulent and not suitable for navigation. Instead, it has not become a convenience for transportation. Instead, it cuts the flat plateau and becomes a traffic hazard. This means that many servants must be recruited in the future so that officials can manage this area smoothly. Although this does not require paying as much salary as the Zhongyuan, I estimate that the money raising service at this tax rate will still be seriously insufficient."
"Yes, I'm too idealized." Wang Ju said. The area of Dali is too large at present, including part of western Sichuan, nearly one-third of the Black Burmese area later, and nearly one-fifth of the Laos area. Wang Ju suspected that the area may reach more than 700,000 square kilometers, which can almost be equivalent to the area of six or seven Fujian roads, which is even larger than the combined area of Guangdong and Guangxi. Even the core area is at least more than three times the area of Fujian roads.
If you want to manage this area, you have to consider it.
"Shaobao, in my opinion, it is best to divide the nine levels according to the scale of our dynasty." Huang Hua said again.
Don’t ask if you have even divided the fields, there are still nine levels. Even if you give them sufficient arable land, it will only be equivalent to the income of most of the households in the Song Dynasty.
It can only be said that it is different from history. Now that Jiaozhi is officially taken back, Fuliangjiang can barely communicate. If Jiaozhi develops, it will bring many conditions for promotion to Dali.
Huang Hua continued: "* households need to provide moderate subsidies according to the situation. No taxes below the seventh grade are levied, including two taxes, and it is best to exempt them. No taxes below the sixth grade are levied, including the recruitment money. The sixth grade households need to pay the most basic two taxes, and each household needs to pay 300 million yuan of exemption money for each household, and the fourth grade household pays 500 million yuan of exemption money for the service. Then these two problems will be solved together."
Wang Ju thought seriously.
At present, his plan is that the future government will have these incomes and taxes, but not only, over time, various levies and taxes are inevitable. Also, will the number of responsibilities and taxes be reduced? Will the number of responsibilities be reduced? Will the number of quotas be reduced?
So it is just empty talk to never add fu, and it is just a matter of nothingness.
As the population increases, officials' work will inevitably increase, the country is stable, prices will rise, and wages will increase. So is it impossible for us to never increase the tax?
However, if my starting point is too high and I cannot recruit enough workers at that time, how can I deal with it? So what is the purpose of starting point again?
Thinking of this, he said, "That's it."
Then he sighed again: "In fact, it is really not easy to govern a country."
This is just taxation. In a region, especially in Dali, if you want to be stable, it is not just taxation, military, farmland water conservancy, education, ethnic policy, poverty alleviation, economy and commerce, planting and breeding, administration... I don’t know how many things there are.
Can Zhang Yu really control it?
To be continued...
