Chapter 503 The Han military tax system began to reform
"Yulin, I think you misunderstood..."
Under Liu Wu's explanation, Lu Yulin also knew that she didn't really want to fight against her father, Lu Wenlun.
To be honest, he was both a little lucky and a little regretful.
After all, the father and son fought in the battle, and the father and son faced each other on the battlefield because of their different beliefs. Such a good story can be passed down to future generations.
Of course, watching Lu Yulin leave, Liu Wu couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his temples.
Fortunately, he had already contacted Lu Wenlun, otherwise a father-son confrontation would have occurred and another beheading tactic would have been used.
This world is probably going to explode and a Nezha legend will be staged.
Lu Yulin is not as good as Lu Shu in this regard. Look at Lu Shu, how calm he was after knowing that his father had become the right minister of the Ministry of War of Daqian. He just said it lightly to instigate rebellion against the court of Daqian.
Look, how simple it is! !
Of course, after Lu Qinghou received his son's letter, he scolded him all night and didn't mention it.
.....................
Time is running like water, and all forces are beginning to move on the right track.
For example, the White Lotus Sect cannot be said to be engaged in major military reforms at this time, but it has also begun to let the learned Protector Army train new recruits, or let them train other Protector Army.
But I don't know why, the training speed is not as fast as that of the Han army, and the training process is also stumbling.
It stands to reason that King Li Tianwang has approved all the materials needed for training, but in actual operations, some people are inserting personnel, some are greedy, and some use back doors.
All these things made the Dharma Protector Army not change quickly.
Strictly speaking, this is also King Li's assessment of this guardian army. If this army can develop a strong army, then the reform of the entire army will go on the right track.
But he also didn't expect that because he didn't pay too much attention to this army, or he was still a little wary of it, the training never went on the right track, so that the training direction gradually went off track.
However, King Li Tian also made other preparations, which was to let Jiang Fenghua negotiate with the Han army and train a group of law-enforcement troops again.
However, this time the request was seriously rejected by the Han army for a simple reason.
I have no one! !
Why is there no one, you ask? ?
What do you say? ! !
So after the White Lotus Sect hit a nail that was neither hard nor soft, they just rubbed their noses and increased their investment in the Dharma Protector Army.
Just saying this, this kind of investment also accelerated the path of the Dharma Protector Army to gradually deviate.
On the other side of the Han army, in terms of military terms, the training of new recruits was completed and the first infantry brigade was reorganized. Then the third and seventh infantry brigades and the other five infantry battalions began to undergo reintroduction training.
Then, the Navy began to expand and formed a brigade and a marine battalion.
At the same time, the newly formed mountain brigade has begun to get on the right track. With the cooperation of the same ordnance, its combat strength is also undergoing huge changes every day.
As a result, the Han army now has more than 3000 soldiers and 45 registered militiamen. Among them, the number of truly combat-effective militiamen is only [-]. If the remaining militiamen want to be combat-effective, it will take at least a year to polish them.
But one year later, no, it should be said next year, all the 50 militiamen in the Han army will be available.
As for people's livelihood issues, first of all, the food in Hetu Mountain, Changsha County and Huanghe County is now in good condition, and the summer harvest is expected to be bumper.
But Yilan County is different. Spring plowing has been delayed due to continuous fighting. Although there are a variety of planting technology supports, the fertilizer technology is still insufficient, so that the current expected grain output will not be too high, but it is not Too bad.
According to the estimates of the old farmer He Fu Yuyan, if the yield of Changsha County and other places can reach two stones per mu, then Yilan County can only reach one and a half stones.
But even so, as long as the summer harvest is over, people's lives will gradually get better, at least they won't be hungry.
You must know that the war in Yilan County was relatively serious. One person in Huanghe County only had about three acres of land, while the people in Yilan County could have four acres of land per person.
Therefore, in order to ensure the summer harvest, the Han army has made preparations.
In addition, after discussion, the Han army decided to implement a new policy, that is, any area occupied by the Han army for more than three years will implement a new policy, as follows.
The first is the progressive agricultural tax, that is, each person needs five dan of grain per year, so these five dan of grain become fixed rations, and the remaining grain is used as surplus grain.
If the surplus grain is less than one stone, it will not be taxed, and if the surplus grain is more than one stone, tax will be imposed.
The collection standard is one stone of surplus grain and five liters of surplus grain;
If there are two stones of surplus grain, one bucket and five liters will be collected;
If there are three shi of surplus grain, three dou of grain will be collected;
If there are four shi of surplus grain, five dou will be levied;
The remaining grain is five stones, and seven buckets and five liters are collected;
The second is the progressive commercial tax. This commercial tax is mainly focused on reselling industries, such as tea shops, rice shops, salt shops, pig shops, etc.
These industries need to levy commission tax, that is, the tax is levied according to the daily turnover, and it is tax-free at the rate of two taels of silver.
Twenty taels of silver, 15% levied;
From two taels of silver to seven taels of silver, 20% is levied;
From seven taels of silver to ten taels of silver, 24% is levied;
From ten taels of silver to 50 taels of silver, 34% is levied;
From 50 taels to 100 taels of silver, 44% is levied;
For items exceeding 100 taels of silver, 50% will be levied.
If there is a fixed store, the business tax is levied on the monthly turnover, that is, 15 taels of silver is exempt from tax, and 20% is levied from 0.5 to 0.1 taels. After that, for every additional [-] taels of silver, the tax rate will increase by [-]%.
In addition, special taxes are set up, such as wine, salt, iron, etc., and a 30% tax is charged.
Most of the meat and other things can only be enjoyed by rich people, and you can get five out of a hundred.
Of course, in areas such as Hetu Mountain, Changsha County, Huanghe County, and Yilan County, it is not that there is no business, but that after the attack of the Han army, there is not much business.
After all, the original businesses were mostly monopolized by wealthy gentry. Now that these people's homes have been confiscated, these businesses will naturally decline.
Therefore, after the commercial tax is set, Han Jun will gradually carry out business and activate the market.
As for grain tax, to be honest, there are only two towns in the Han army that barely meet this standard, so the tax reform will start from those two towns.
As long as the policy is determined and implemented seriously, the next development of the Han army will be easier to manage.
