Da Qin: Old Zhao, I am really not a fairy

hiss!Zhao Sheng couldn't help taking a deep breath, the tax was too high to be scary.

"It includes land rent, oral Fu, miscellaneous Fu!"

Among them, the land rent is collected according to the number of fields.

The oral tax is taxed according to the population, and about one person has to pay 120 yuan a year.

For a family of five, that would be six hundred dollars a year.

Among them, there are even more corvee workers, almost a million people.

It is not easy for Zhao Sheng to abolish corvee and reduce taxes.

The Shaofu is the duty to manage this tax.

Zhao Gao's eyes turned, and this Xiao He can be the position of the young mansion, and the young mansion should be a suitable job for Xiao He, so he murmured to Xiao He, "Change this tax and write a copy of it. Show me the revised taxes!"

Xiao He couldn't help being taken aback, and asked in a deep voice, "Your Highness, how do you change the tax?"

Seeing that, Zhao Sheng murmured, "Two-thirds is too heavy for the common people, it should be changed to one out of ten!"

In fact, Zhao Sheng still felt that the one out of ten was too high, so he asked again, "Do you need to lower it a bit?"

Xiao He couldn't help but be fooled by the question. In terms of one out of ten, it can be said to be quite low. Xiao He has never heard of such a low tax. When he heard that Zhao Sheng wanted to lower this tax again, he hurriedly He waved his hand and said, "His Royal Highness, you can't surrender anymore!"

The one-time reduction of taxes is too low, and Daqin is very likely to be unable to bear it.

There are nearly 80 soldiers in Jiuyuan County, Longxi County, and Baiyue. To support these soldiers and horses, they rely on such heavy taxes.

If Zhao Sheng changed the tax, what would happen to the 80 soldiers?

Daqin might not even be able to pay his salary!

"Then it will be one out of ten!" Zhao Sheng ordered to Xiao He.

Xiao He nodded, and started to work on this matter.

For Xiao He, another advantage is that he works diligently and acts like a courtier.

He would not do what Liu Bang didn't ask him to do. If Liu Bang entrusted Xiao He with something, Xiao He would definitely make a careful plan before handing it over to Liu Bang.

Zhao Sheng handed over the matter of revising taxes to Xiao He, and he was also very relieved.

Then Zhao Sheng murmured to Zhang Cang, "Zhang Cang, you are proficient in arithmetic, even though Xiao He worked out the revised tax together!"

After Zhang Cang heard the task that Zhao Sheng explained, he quickly bowed and said, "No!"

As for the abolition of corvee, it seems that I still have to discuss it with Brother Zheng.

On the other side, Zhao Sheng also asked Chen Ping, "Chen Ping, what do you think if Daqin's corvee is abolished?"

"His Royal Highness, have you ever thought about how to deal with this group of millionaires?" Chen Ping asked after a little thought.

From Chen Ping's point of view, dealing with this million-dollar corvee is not an easy task!

Zhao Sheng also immediately thought, "If the corvee can be cancelled, the returned corvee can be given a settling allowance and a Quyuan plow, and the fertile land reclaimed by the corvette will belong to them!"

There is still a lot of land that Daqin can reclaim.

The plowing tool Quyuanli can also be put to great use, and the extra land that cannot be planted after plowing can be returned to the state-owned land of Daqin.

After hearing this, Chen Ping nodded approvingly.

This method may work.

Seeing that Chen Ping didn't think there was any big problem, Zhao Sheng felt relieved for a while.

However, Zhao Sheng also thought that if the tax was low, he should naturally think about how to increase the extra income of the Qin State treasury.

When the Great Qin Dynasty was reformed by Shang Yang, the status of merchants was not high. The main reason was that they could not get used to the fact that merchants could get rich by sitting back and enjoying their profits.

However, suppressing business is not a good policy. Instead, businessmen can drive the economic development of Daqin.

For merchants, illegal price hikes and monopolies should be suppressed.

As for the higher the income of a merchant, the higher the tax to be charged.

Zhao Sheng also thought about using businessmen to drive Daqin's economic development.

The previous distilled wine and soap can be put into sale, and there is a huge profit in it.

Zhao Sheng even had a candidate for cooperation in his mind, and that was Ba Qing, also known as Widow Qing, who was in charge of the sales of cinnabar in the Bashu area.

She is also the wealthiest businesswoman in Daqin.

Ba Qing donated a lot of cinnabar and mercury to Daqin, and was also treated with courtesy by Brother Zheng, who also built Huaiqing Terrace for him.

As a female businessman, Ba Qing was able to achieve this step, which shows the great financial resources and power behind it.

In the Bashu area, there are even a group of private armed forces. The reason is that the industry is too large, and this is still under the permission of Brother Zheng.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng also had the idea of ​​wanting to get acquainted with Ba Qing.

Because of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, merchants and nobles in many areas were forced to relocate, and now Baqing has also been relocated to Xianyang, Guanzhong.

"Gao Zhan, do you know Ba Qing from Xianyang?" Zhao Sheng asked Gao Zhan in a deep voice.

Ba Qing's name should be very famous, and it should not be difficult to find Ba Qing.

After Gao Zhan heard this, he also thought about this person in his mind, and asked Zhao Sheng after a pause, "But that Baqing from the Bashu area?"

Zhao Sheng nodded and said in a deep voice, "It's this person!"

"I don't know His Royal Highness, why are you looking for her?" Gao Zhan asked somewhat incomprehensibly.

"I have cooperation with her to discuss, do you know where I can meet Ba Qing?"

After Gao Zhan pondered for a while, he immediately said, "If His Royal Highness wants to find Ba Qing, you can find out after searching in Xianyang!"

Gao Zhan immediately retreated and looked for Zhao Sheng's residence in Baqing.

Zhao Sheng also began to think about how to drive the economic development of the people.

To encourage the common people to start a business and develop, now that there is Quyuanli, it saves a lot of manpower, and farmers can also be used as labor force.

Relief with work.

You can buy more soap factories and wineries to drive development!
