    This winter has been colder than anyone expected. The entire northern country is covered with thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, the snow is blowing in the wind, and the glue is broken and fingers are broken, which directly makes the potential threat of war disappear without a trace.

    Not to mention that the Goguryeo and Mohe people did not dare to move, even Huang Mingyuan's original plan to conduct an unconventional armed reconnaissance in the Limo River area in the north was ruined because of this extremely cold winter.

    But it¡¯s not Huang Mingyuan¡¯s habit not to bother.

    If external affairs fail, then internal affairs will be carried out.

    As the population of Liaodong increases, a very important thing is to improve the social order of the entire Liaodong. Huang Mingyuan does not need to worry about the administrative system and legal system. Officials from Fengzhou have strong immigration experience, and various construction projects  Just copy Fengzhou directly.

    But what Huang Mingyuan faces is the tax system that Huang Mingyuan has never dared to touch in Fengzhou.

    Taxation is the lifeblood of a country, affecting the fate and interests of countless people. If you are not careful, it may lead to disaster, so Huang Mingyuan does not dare to try to change it easily.

    And now Huang Mingyuan leads hundreds of thousands of troops in Liaodong, and has thousands of available officials and the three banks of People's Livelihood, National Defense, and Agriculture, as well as the business system of the Four Seas Business Group all over Liaodong. In addition, he has a lofty prestige and the emperor Yuan of Liaodong Tiangao.  Due to special circumstances, Huang Mingyuan finally dared to take action on the tax system.

    Sometimes Huang Mingyuan also admires those reformers, such as Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi and other historical figures. How can they have the confidence to reform if they do not have absolute rights and absolute strength.

    This time, when Huang Mingyuan reformed the tax system in Liaodong, he planned to take advantage of the current environment in which all parties in Liaodong were not strong in power to preemptively create the established facts and achieve it in one step.

    In Chinese history, the tax system was generally linked to the land system.  The land system of the Sui Dynasty was the land equalization system, and the taxation system was the rent adjustment system developed from the rent adjustment system in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, that is, "if there is land, there will be rent, if there is a household, there will be rent, and if there is a body, there will be rent." Rent is land rent, and it is required every year  The salary is two stones of millet; Yong means hard labor and works for the government for twenty days every year; Tiao means household transfer, and men are paid according to what the land produces.  The tax is fixed on the land and household registration through land collection.  Those who have not been granted land by the state do not need to pay land rent. Those who fall within the stipulation of "having a noble title and a filial son and a righteous husband and a chaste wife" do not have to pay taxes and are also exempted from forced labor.

    It has to be said that Zuyong modulation ensured social development, fully developed productivity, and made people more actively involved in production, including its predecessor, Zuyong modulation, which destroyed the Northern Qi in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Southern Chen Dynasty in the Sui Dynasty, and even the Tang Dynasty in history  They have played an important role in unifying the world.  In fact, it was not until the Anshi Rebellion of Tang Xuanzong that the world was in chaos. The country lost the ability to effectively control the household registration and land registration accounts, and the land receiving system was completely destroyed, and the rent-to-yong regulation had to be abolished.

    Originally, Huang Mingyuan could have followed Cao Sui in Liaodong Xiaogui. After all, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, during the founding period, it had strong development power and could fully guarantee internal stability and national tax revenue.

    But the problem is that Huang Mingyuan does not own any land in Liaodong, so there is no basis for implementing rent-to-yong modulation.

    Of course, Huang Mingyuan can also carry out land harvesting. This is the fastest and safest way to gain the support of the people.  This strategy was often practiced in ancient China, and it was also done in the era of Taizu and Taizong in later generations.  However, there was little land in Liaodong and there was not enough land to grant; and receiving land could not prevent land annexation. Huang Mingyuan did not want the country to go back to the old path.

    Therefore, a new tax system that adapts to Liaodong must be found.

    After all, Liaodong has just begun to develop, and the taxation and labor under it have begun to be chaotic. If the taxation cannot be straightened out, Liaodong, which has just settled down, may soon be in turmoil.

    The land in Liaodong is mainly official land, and part of it is newly developed land by immigrants. This area is increasing year by year, but it is still not as large as the number of official land.

    Part of the official land is the confiscated land of the old nobles of Goguryeo in various places, and the unclaimed land has been confiscated; the other part is the land reclaimed by the government-run farms.

    The land owned by the Liaodong government was actually used as a field for two purposes.

    Liaodong does not receive land, but those who receive land are soldiers.  It was carried out in accordance with the military orders of Toyosu.

    According to Fengzhou¡¯s military order for receiving land, each officer and soldier was granted twenty-four acres of land from the time of service, with a period of twelve years. Upon expiration of the period, the military field would be owned by the individual.  Those who have made military exploits will be awarded merit fields in exchange for rewards based on the magnitude of their military exploits, which will also be owned by individuals.  These two types of land are uniformly managed by the Liaozhou General Manager's Office and are allowed to be inherited, but only sold to the General Manager's Office.

    There are also pension fields. Those who are discharged due to injury or killed in battle will be granted 20 to 200 acres of land respectively according to the level of disability and the situation of death in battle.  It is also managed by the General Administration of Liaozhou, and inheritance is not allowed. If I die,All conditions, such as the death of parents, the child reaching twenty years old, the death of the wife or remarriage, etc., shall be taken back by the general administration.

    These three pillars support the land pattern of Fengzhou and Liaodong.

    This is also the reason why Huang Mingyuan is not in Liaodong. If he can get land, who will be a soldier?  If it is not obtained through hard work, they will not cherish it, and they will not even love the people in Shoutian, such as Gao Yang and Yu Wenhu.

    Huang Mingyuan ordered that only soldiers can receive land, which fully protected the interests of soldiers in the army and at the same time enhanced the attractiveness of the status of soldiers. This is the core reason why he has full control of the army.

    But the main job of soldiers is to fight, and they cannot farm at home on weekdays, so we cannot really give them land.

    ¡°And besides some state-owned farms, it is impossible for all the government¡¯s large official land to be used for farming.  Therefore, the second use of land is to lease the fields that belong to soldiers and officials to the common people.  Part of the food produced by the land every year is paid to national taxes and management fees; part of it is given to the land owners, soldiers or government rents, and then the country distributes it to each soldier through an independent national defense bank; only a small part of the output is returned to the government.  Common people.

    The focus of tax reform is not here.

    Huang Mingyuan is very clear that if he wants to reform the tax system, two things are very important. One is to protect the rights and interests of the soldiers, which is his foundation; the other is to suppress land annexation, which is the foundation of a political power.

    Because of their status, many soldiers are exempt from tax except ordinary soldiers at the lowest level.  Even ordinary soldiers' taxes are very low, not as high as the government's management fees, so the taxes are very small.

    If the government wants to collect taxes, it can only target the common people.

    The people who come to Liaodong, in addition to part of their own cultivated land and leased military land, also have some leased pure public land. These people are the largest land tax collectors in Liaodong.

    In order to successfully complete the reform of the tax system, Huang Mingyuan first moved on the tax method, which is also the easiest thing to implement. These can be learned by future generations.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
