Chapter 86
When Liu Bu entered Jimo Yingcheng, it was considered dead. Everyone was numb and insensitive. It seemed that they were also numb to the future. People lived just because they were still alive and had no plans or desires for the future. They were like a pool of stagnant water.
Liu Bu didn't stand this kind of scene, so he immediately ordered a batch of grain to be mobilized. When their grain was transported into the gate of Yingcheng, the people and the military families in Yingcheng came to watch. They were all surprised. Other officers moved the grain from Yingcheng to their homes, and this man took the initiative to move the grain from their homes. What are his intentions? What are his plans?
How big is the Liu family? When their grain trucks were pulled into the truck, a truck of grain fell over and the trucks of grain fell on the ground. Seeing that the grain fell to the ground, the old man and the children rushed up and hurriedly picked it up in their pockets. However, the Liu family's soldiers looked around and didn't say anything. They directly pushed the truck out of the grain, and even wanted the whole truck, so they pulled the grain truck away. When the people in Yingcheng saw such a scene, they were surprised. Why did they look so rich? They didn't support that kind of oil bottle when they poured it.
They knew that the new Jimo Camp garrison Qian was the eldest son of the famous Liu family in Linqing. What is the role of the eldest son of the Liu family? He was also a famous figure in Linqing. He made two poems and made famous all over the world. Moreover, the carriage he used alone was worth 20,000 taels, and there was only one in the world. Every time he went out to have a meal, there was no less than one hundred taels. It is said that he used his high-quality daughter Hong. He did not use bamboo strips to go to the toilet but silk.
Moreover, Liu Bu still did not change his nickname of the No. 1 handsome man in Fushan. When he went to his Jimo Camp to patrol, he was like in Fushan. When he saw the children, he began to order his guards to sprinkle candy. In just half a day, the children in the city immediately fell in love with this Qianhu, because they had never seen an official, and when they saw the children, they started sprinkle candy. In just half a day, Liu Bu sat firmly on the throne of the most handsome man in Jimo Camp.
Children and the elderly liked him very much, so what was the matter with the elderly? Because on that day, Liu Bu announced that the people in the camp would send 20 kilograms of rice each. As soon as the news came out, the churchyard was filled with people, and everyone was holding bags or wooden barrels, waiting to deliver rice, and everyone was happy, just like the New Year.
When it comes to rice, what should be released and what should not be released also appeared. When Mi Zhu was patrolling today, he saw that at most two thousand people came to the city, most of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled. But when he talked about rice today, he didn't know where so many people came out, and all the turtle bastards appeared. Many of them were young and strong, and everyone was happy and just waiting to get rice. But the old women were unhappy. They were squeezed into the corner by the young and strong. They were all anxious. They didn't know when they would get rice, and they didn't know if there was any rice in the end.
Liu Bu ordered Liu Kang to be responsible for distributing rice. He also had some experience in disaster relief. He ordered these people to line up and prepare food, and prepare rice.
At this time, Liu Bu came to the schoolyard. He saw so many people, and he was a little surprised. When he was going to inspect today, there were not so many people. These people appeared during the meal. They probably were scared by the war, for fear that the new Mr. Qian would summon them to join the army to fight. But now that there is rice, I can't care about so many, so I came out to get the rice first.
Liu Bu saw the old men and women crowded in the corner, all of whom were crowded together, and some children were still crying, and they were waiting anxiously.
Liu Bu ordered: "Prefer to these elderly and women, and let them wait for the young and strong ones first."
Liu Kang always carried out Liu Bu's orders unconditionally, and then ordered loudly: "First women and children, and then you will become young and strong."
Liu Bu felt very angry, as if he had been deceived by these people. He didn't say anything. Liu Kang, who knew his master's intentions, immediately started to curse: "There are not so many people when working. When eating, all kinds of turtle bastards pop up, and they just have a long mouth but not a hand."
The people were not angry about the officials' curse, and they all smiled and waited to receive the food.
They knew that the officials who came to the world now had a very poisonous mouth, but in fact they were very soft-hearted.
Overall, the effect is quite good. Liu Bu finally found out how many people there were here by handing out some rice and grain, and registered for the first time.
Moreover, Liu Bu immediately won the hearts of the people through the rice, and many people believed in the new Mr. Qian and were willing to serve him.
Liu Bu won the hearts of the people. Seeing that everyone was happy, Liu Bu also began to be happy. This was what he wanted. As the lord of a city, he would lead the people to live a good life, and everyone would have enough food and clothes to wear.
After sending the rice, the prestige of this Qiang General was established, and he promoted his majestic plan to everyone.
Liu Bu said that from today on, he would not distribute rice and grain, but would set up many workshops and recruit people to do a lot of things. As long as he does things for him, he can get work and money and grain.
Liu Bu knew that it was better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. He also saw that so many people did not farm, and they hid if they didn’t farm, and they would hide. They would usually hide, bask in the sun at home or play hunting and odd jobs in a place without people. All these manpower had to be reused.
Liu Bu also understood why these people didn't work and farm. It was not that these people were lazy and did not work. But now even if you farm, the tax collected is very expensive. It can be said that when you rent landlords' fields to plow and farm, you will have to pay in the end. Not only will you not get any harvest, you also have to pay in the over. Such a tax policy has greatly damaged the enthusiasm of these people. There are fewer and fewer people farming, and many people would rather go out to flee famine or beg for food than go farming.
Mi Zhu saw that most of the land outside Jimo City was deserted, and the landlords could not recruit people to farm, and no one could farm, so he made a plan and ordered these people to start tomorrow and organize people to start manually to open up land and farm.
Others have to pay a lot of taxes to farm. The government's layers of prosecution and exploitation will turn their farming into a negative income behavior, but Liu Bu is different. Now they are called the Liu family to plow the fields, and they do not need to pay taxes. Just not paying taxes can give them a great advantage, and these people can farm with confidence. Now Liu Bu decided to hire these people in the name of their Liu family to plow the fields and farm for them, and then after some output, a healthy development has entered here.
The first thing Liu Bu did after he took over Jimo Camp was to make use of the people here. Even if they could not fight for the Liu family, they had to join their logistics system. They could build barracks and houses, wash clothes and cook, and do some things for them to do. But he just couldn't accept it. It was impossible for him to lie down and let him provide for him.
If some elderly, weak, sick and disabled people are unable to do work, Liu Bu still established a People-friendly Bureau, which will provide these people with the lowest living security, just like the policy of the minimum living security and the five-guarantee households in later generations.
After Liu Bu came here for a few days, he started to do it and completely made the basin of water here come alive. Everyone has seen it. The Liu family in Linqing was rich in the world and it was indeed well-known. People have money, so it would be a matter of one word to do it.
After Liu Bu started the things here, he made it very popular. Those who raise chickens and those who raise fish, all of which are quickly started, and everyone must have work to do.
Their place is only ten miles away from Jimo County. After he rejected Zhou Wentong that day, the other party did not dare to come. Since he came here, the Taiping Army of the Liu family was also fierce. Even the taxpayers in the city did not dare to come here because they all heard the news that the Liu family was domineering and unreasonable. Li Wu, in the Fushan Institute, collected taxes for Zhou Wentong. Where is he now?
Li Wu is now in the labor camp of the Liu family. What does the labor camp do? He is dedicated to working for them for free. These people are whipped and worked while working during the day. At night, they are tied with ropes and placed in the prison cell. This is even worse than going to jail. So after the Taiping Army of the Liu family took over here, the tax soldiers who often came to collect taxes nearby did not dare to come here.
You should know that the Ming Dynasty's tax collection is the most powerful and the most deadly. The above layer of taxation was levied. In the past, there were only a single land tax, but now there are two more items, such as the Lixiang and Liaoxiang. After several tax collections, it can be said that it has increased the burden on the people several times.
In the past, only the burden on the people was so heavy, but now that there are so many more, the burden on the people is even heavier.
Anyway, it’s just a little bit. No matter how hard you are, no matter how hard you are, you can’t be suffering. If you want to suffer, you will suffer those mud legs.
As soon as this policy was released, a large number of free farmers and some people with land in their homes went bankrupt one after another. They had no choice but to sell the land and then flee the famine.
Therefore, the current tax policy of the Ming Dynasty is simply to absorb taxes by fishing out the waters and sucking bones and marrow. However, their policies are only aimed at these ordinary people, and they dare not collect taxes for officials, so it becomes a problem, that is, the poorer the poorer the richer the richer. Like some ordinary people, they originally had land and land, but they were forced to sell land and land, and sell children and daughters to pay taxes.
