Chapter 1485
Before the social productivity reaches a certain level, the taxation of agriculture is a necessary condition for the continued existence of a country.
In the time and space before Ying Yi crossing over, industry and commerce were developed, and their taxes met the needs of the government. Therefore, the proportion of agricultural taxes was gradually reduced until agricultural taxes were not collected or even subsidies were inverted.
But in the current time and space, it is difficult to do at least for a period of time.
In order to replace agricultural taxes, industry and commerce must be highly developed. The productivity of society is far from reaching the corresponding conditions.
For the time being, a tax of 50% is levied on agriculture. On the basis of the current improved varieties, heavy taxes can't be considered. A commoners is acceptable, and there is enough surplus food to subsidize the family. The grain requisitioned by the second party can also fully meet the needs of Ying Yi's regime.
For example, in the three counties of Nanyang, the total harvest is about 7.2 million shi, calculated on the basis of 12 shi per mu. Collecting half of it is three hundred and six hundred thousand shi. The main food consuming household under Ying Yi's command is the army, with only 20,000 or seven thousand people.
20,000 7,000 troops, 10,000 shi a day can be eaten freely, you can eat for a year.
What's more, 20,000 7,000 people may not eat 10,000 stones a day. In addition, there are only three counties, accounting for a very small part of the entire Henan state.
The reason is that in the provisions of the Agricultural Tax Law, each household is taxed only once a year.
This is where the real welfare of farmers lies!
The improved varieties of Dijiyi have a two-month harvest cycle. Even if you add the first plowing and the later harvesting, one month later, one plowing and harvesting every three months is inevitable. Not afraid of severe cold and scorching heat, not afraid of droughts and floods, the four seasons can be harvested in one year.
The tax is only levied for one season, and not for the other three seasons.
In this way, the abundant surplus of commoners can be imagined.
"Of course, this is an ideal state, but it is not desirable."
Ying Yi and Zheng Yunzhi walked all the way to the study, saying: "Even though the high-yield varieties are good for the soil, It is also more expensive to plant. The land is difficult to bear for planting four seasons a year. Since there are two seasons a year, each season is separated by one season, which is used to grow other crops, such as beans, which contain fertility."
Zheng Yunzhi slightly nodded: "Not bad. Apart from this, commoners should also be encouraged to fertilize more. Rotating crops and fertilizing can be foolproof."
Ying Yi said with a smile: "Not only that, all localities Water conservancy facilities will also be included in the plan. Right now there are 80,000 slave laborers, half of which are used to repair roads and half to repair water conservancy. I plan that by this time next year, the main roads between all counties in Henan must be To be completed. The main water conservancy facilities must also be built."
He added: "The 100 million mu plan will definitely enter the first harvest in the beginning of the spring. The amount of grain obtained is predictable. If 80,000 yuan If the slave labor force is not enough, you can recruit commoners. You must see results in about a year."
Zheng Yunzhi said: "As long as the food is sufficient, everything is not a problem."
Then turn He said: "The output of grain is huge, I am afraid it will affect the price of grain. After discussing with the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Commerce, the prefectural government has decided to fix the price of grain, otherwise the low grain will hurt the farmers."
Ying Yi nodded: "This is the reason that low-quality grain hurts farmers. To avoid this hidden danger, not only must the price of grain be fixed, but the government must also vigorously purchase it. The hoarding of grain is necessary for a long period of time. It must be. Several official granaries should be established just in case."
Zheng Yunzhi nodded.
"The prices of grain and salt are the basis of commercial pricing." After speaking, he arrived in the study. The two sat down and Ying Yi said: "Various fruits and vegetables, daily necessities, and production tools are closely related to this. The prices of food and salt are limited to a specific range to ensure order and stability."
The calculation of grain yield per mu at the moment, the later, the more surplus grain will be. If it is not regulated, the price of food will inevitably plummet. As soon as food prices fall, it will affect the entire economic system.
Food prices cannot rise too high, and the rise affects all walks of life. It should not fall too hard, because the fall will affect the social order.
"The State Muyamen is already planning to build a granary." Zheng Yunzhi said: "Build one each in Kaifeng, Luoyang and Nanyang. The standard is 20 million stones."
"Fear not enough Ying Yi thought for a while: "Once the 100 million mu plan is completed, five to six shi of grain will be collected per acre, and the tax revenue alone will be five to six billion shi."
Zheng Yunzhi said with a smile: "Kaifeng, Luoyang and Nanyang will build the main warehouses. The granary system can't only consist of three, and under it, all counties must also build warehouses to collect grain. If it is dispersed, 600 million shi of grain will not be a problem."
Ying Yi This is nodded in agreement.
then said: "How are the preparations for the issuance of the new currency in the Department of Commercial Affairs?"
Zheng Yunzhi said: "Within half a month."
Win Yiyi laughed: "Okay. What about the specific distribution plan?"
"From the Chamber of Commerce Association." Zheng Yunzhi said: "Shilling Chamber of Commerce to collect gold, silver and copper from major merchants The currency is exchanged for the corresponding amount of new currency. At the same time, banks are opened in the branches of the commercial affairs department in various places to open the exchange entrance to the private."
"What about the publicity?" Ying Yi said.
"It's already being done." Zheng Yunzhi said: "I have seen the new currency. Both the appearance and the security are extremely high-end. I believe commoners will not reject it."
Ying Yi nodded: "That's fine."
...
The government affairs involved in a regime encompass all aspects of society. Commoners’ eat, drink, shit and piss, the various needs of officials, the various developments of the society, the external conquest, or the internal unity of thinking, it’s not easy to become the Ruler of a country. Both the body and the spirit have extremely high requirements.
Especially at the beginning of the freshman, many rules have not yet been set, and the Leader must do it himself. Therefore Ying Yi is not easy.
Of course, it's not difficult.
Whether she is physically or mentally, Ying Yi is strong enough.
For Ying Yi, this time is a good time. Ming Ting has no spare energy to deal with him, and Tatar has not yet entered the customs. It is a good opportunity for development.
With various government orders and various measures unfolded, Henan Yizhou began to show its vigorous vitality.
In terms of agriculture, by October, the reclaiming of the 100 million mu plan is coming to an end. At the same time, the land reclaimed in the early days has entered a state of farming.
I believe that by the end of October, before November, the 100 million mu project will be perfected. From December to January, the Yimu Project entered the harvest stage. By the beginning of spring, Henan was completely free from the threat of hunger and entered a period of stable development.
However, as far as the entire Henan province is concerned, the 100 million mu plan is not all, but only a part. The 100 million mu of fertile land seems to be huge, but in fact it is only 10,000 square kilometers. Ten thousand square kilometers, only equivalent to a small area of the government.
The entire Henan Province, except for the three houses of Zhangde, Weihui, and Huaiqing on the other side of the river, Ying Yi controls Henan, Kaifeng, Ruzhou, Guide, and Nanyang. House, Ru Ning Mansion Six Houses. The total area exceeds ten 50,000 square kilometers.
