What a coincidence, Sun Quan did not expect that he and Liu Ke would become in-laws.
The relationship between the two families is very complicated, and they have been entangled since Sun Jian's generation.
Now that Sun Quan is in Yangzhou, of course he must deal with Liu Ke.
Sun Quan took the opportunity to ask Liu Ke for advice on government affairs.
At the beginning, Sun Ce handed over Jingzhou to Sun Quan to govern.
At the beginning, Sun Quan was still a fool. All the big and small things came together, and his head became big.
¡°If something goes wrong in government affairs, how can I live up to my brother¡¯s trust
But what made Sun Quan himself feel very amazing was that he actually played around with everything in Jingzhou and handled it in a very orderly manner.
Of course, the help of other people is indispensable.
Especially Ma Liang
Who is Ma Liang?
As the saying goes, "Of the five permanent members of the Ma family, white eyebrows are the best." To put it simply, the five brothers of the Ma family in Jingzhou are all talented, but among them, Ma Liang is the best.
You may not know Ma Liang, but you must know his younger brother Ma Di
With Ma Liang's help, Sun Quan felt that handling government affairs was easy.
Are there any local gangsters causing trouble? The culprit is the one to blame.
If the circumstances are serious, he may be imprisoned, exiled to the army, or executed, depending on the circumstances.
Although Sun Quan is friendly to others, he is definitely not pedantic.
We will never show mercy to these rebellious officials and traitors who disrupt public order.
Under his governance, no one in Jingzhou dared to make any mistakes.
Political clarity!
Sun Quan thought he had done a good job, but there were always flaws.
For example, the development of Jingzhou has never kept up with that of Yangzhou.
This made Sun Quan very puzzled!
If Yizhou is the target, Jingzhou will certainly win by a long shot.
But Sun Quan is also a proud and arrogant person. How can he compare with his inferiors but not his superiors?
His goal has always been Yangzhou.
To this end, Sun Quan put in a lot of effort.
For the sake of people¡¯s livelihood, Sun Quan suggested that the government should provide money and farm tools.
It even rents land to people for them to work on.
There is no need to pay taxes in the first year, some grain will be kept in the second year, and the rest will be handed over.
In other words, as long as people put in their efforts, they can live a good life and don't need to worry about other things.
Just concentrate on production!
However, Jingzhou¡¯s output has not increased.
Sun Quan emphatically introduced his decree and asked Liu Ke for advice:
"How does Marquis Dongyang think it can be improved?"
Logically speaking, Liu Ke has no obligation to answer such a question, but now he is in a critical period to win over Jingzhou.
Sun Quan¡¯s attitude is also very important!
So, Liu Ke patiently explained:
"This decree seems to have lightened the burden on the people, but it is not. It is just compared to those people who have no tools. What about the people who are better off?"
Sun Quan was a little confused.
"Those wealthy people, or aristocratic families, will hire poor people to work, and then they wait for the output This leads to the upper class people not doing any work! They just sit back and enjoy the benefits."
"Led by Yangzhou, Jingzhou has become more and more prosperous, and the grain yield per mu has increased, which has also led to fewer and fewer working people."
"Not only that, those people who are responsible for labor, day after day, year after year, their harvests have increased, but they have not fallen into their own pockets. For example, this year I planted five thousand shi of grain, leaving If you lower one thousand, turn in five thousand, and plant ten thousand stones of grain tomorrow, you still have one thousand leftthen why do I need to grow more grain?"
¡°Everyone just wants to have enough to eat, so how can productivity be improved?¡±
¡¡
Sun Quan memorized it, but he didn¡¯t understand it. He would slowly understand it later. He said shamelessly:
"How to solve this problem?"
"First, the more you work, the more you will get!"
This is easy to understand, and Sun Quan remembered it.
"Second, let wealthy people also have to work hard for production."
Sun Quan was very surprised. Everyone has no worries about food and clothing. Is it difficult to mobilize?
"Let me tell you this, ordinary people use manpower to cultivate their fields. Why not buy thousands of cattle at a high price and rent or sell them to the people to cultivate their fields?"
"The King of Dongyang'sYou mean, encourage business? "
¡°When people become rich, doing business is a must, and food and clothing can no longer satisfy some people¡¯s ambitions.¡±
This reason made Sun Quan a little helpless.
This metaphor is very appropriate, but ambition is like a flood. Once it is released, it cannot be taken back.
And Liu Ke has long wanted to complain about Jingzhou¡¯s taxes.
"It's time to change your business tax."
Sun Quan looked puzzled.
Liu Ke continued: "Abandon the previous decree of collecting tax based on headshot and change it to transaction tax."
"What if a businessman evades taxes?" Sun Quan said.
Calculated on a per capita basis, the city tax is collected. If there are many goods, a small transportation tax is collected.
This is the current situation in Jingzhou, there is no unified standard at all.
"In every city, an exchange is established for merchants to trade. If the transaction is successful, a certificate will be issued and a certain amount of tax will be paid. People will also be assigned to supervise and manage the transactions. Businesses that are not traded on the exchange are not protected."
¡°There are also various exorbitant taxes and a series of tolls, which should all be removed.¡±
Sun Quan also had some doubts about this, he said. "If we remove many taxes and only take this transaction tax, then I'm afraid Jingzhou's tax revenue will be far worse than before!"
Liu Ke thought for a while and said: "Zhong Mou, you need to take a longer view! Jingzhou is a big state. If the taxation method is changed, do you think there will be more businessmen going to Jingzhou than before?"
"Well" Sun Quan thought in surprise, it seemed that this was really the case, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
"Can Jingzhou's taxes be increased if there are more merchants?"
"Of course!" Liu Ke said confidently, "The head tax in Yangzhou has been canceled long ago, and the city entry tax is gone."
This time, Zisun Quan was really startled by Liu Ke¡¯s words and lost his voice:
"This is the most important item of taxation. How can Yangzhou get so much money and food to expand its army?"
Liu Ke did not answer this question, but said:
¡°Reducing agricultural taxes again and again is almost as good as canceling them.¡±
Sun Quan didn¡¯t know what to say.
Under Liu Ke¡¯s rule, all major agricultural states, such as Jiaozhou, Yangzhou, Xuzhou and other places, had very rich agricultural output and could feed the whole country.
The tax is about to be cancelled?
The largest income of dynasties in the past is agricultural tax!
Because the most people are farming.
But King Dongyang actually did the opposite
"King Dongyang, the commercial tax exceeds the agricultural tax, isn't it a sign of chaos?"
"Don't panic, don't panic." Liu Ke was not in a hurry at all. The previous government was relatively simple and only made money from the people.
He obviously has such great power, but he doesn't know how to use it.
"If we really want to collect a poll tax, why not start with the salt and iron project?" Liu Kedao said.
Every household must have salt, and it is easy to control.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With a population of tens of millions in the country, are you still worried about not being able to receive money?
¡° Moreover, as people¡¯s living standards improve, a few pennies are nothing.
What people are annoyed about is that they charge a little here and a little there.
It gives the impression that you have to pay taxes when you walk. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
