Three Kingdoms: It’s incredible, I can evolve infinitely at the beginning

For a long time, Liu Yu only thought that the most hidden population was the powerful family.

When he was in the merger of the state, he had already dealt with some of the families in the state, and even the families and Haoqiang in Taiyuan County, which were basically swept away by him, and it turned out that the hidden population of the families and Haoqiang in the state was as high as hundreds of thousands.

Since then, the population of the state has increased to more than one million.

Now, Jia Xu told Liu Yu that the population of Bingzhou had increased to 3.21 million.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, according to official records, there were only more than 7 million people in Jizhou.

"Wenhe, why are there so many people?" Liu Yu looked at Jia Xu and asked with a serious face.

"My lord, I also know that compared with the big families and the local heroes, the hidden population of those small and medium-sized families and businessmen is not inferior. Jia Xu said with some shame.

Before that, he had never considered that in his eyes, the inconspicuous merchants and small and medium-sized families could hide such a large number of people.

Especially for the sake of the safety of the merchants, the private guards formed by themselves are basically ninety percent of the population that has been hidden.

13 And there are those small and medium-sized families, in order to be able to pay less taxes, and to have people to breed the land, so naturally, they have to hide the population.

Therefore, after Jia Xu reformed and merged the state household registration system, all these people were found out and registered.

"It should have been noticed a long time ago. When Liu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Bingzhou is so big, how can it be hundreds of thousands of people, it is obviously impossible." "

The territory under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou is equivalent to parts of present-day Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Hebei, and Shaanxi, and it is a little unreasonable to think about such a large area with only a few hundred thousand people.

Even if it is not developed, it is impossible to have such a small number of people, and it is not the time of the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, so the most reasonable explanation is that the family and other families are hiding the population.

The proportion of the hidden population is about 60% of the local families, and the remaining 40% is divided between small and medium-sized families and merchants.

It can be said that except for the emperor and the most ordinary people, everyone is hiding the population, including the clan relatives of the old Liu family.

"According to the orders of the lord, all the families, families, merchants, and powerful people who hide their populations shall have all their property and land confiscated, nationalized, and then divided equally among the landless people. Jia Xu continued to report.

The land belongs to the state, of course, this country, the meaning can be interpreted as Liu Yu's, and then Liu Yu will distribute it to the landless poor people below.

The land could not be bought or sold, essentially preventing land annexation, because the land did not belong to individuals.

Immediately, Jia Xu reported to Liu Yu that there had been a lot of chaos in the entire state during the reform period.

There were even man-made rebellions, but they were all quelled by Jia Xu one by one.

......

After learning about the situation, Liu Yu sent someone to call Zhicai, Fu Zhu, and Zhou Cang.

"The King"

Several people saluted Liu Yu.

In private, when they are personal, they can call Liu Yu the lord and show their closeness.

But on formal occasions, and when there are others, it must be called the king or the king.

"Just now, Wen He told Gu about the situation of the state. "

Liu Yu said and continued: "In Lone's view, after the chaos is the Great Governance, Lone announced that the state will be tax-free for three years. "

"The king is benevolent, and the ministers and thousands of people prostrate to the king. Frustrated with some excitement, he got up and said.

"Get up. "

Liu Yu helped him and said, "Also, in the future, all poll taxes will be abolished in the lonely territory, and they will never be added." "

"Your Majesty, this must not be done. "

Liu Yu's voice fell, and he stood up again and said eagerly to Liu Yu.

"Why not?"

Liu Yu looked at Fu Zhu and asked.

"King, if there is no poll tax and tax, how can the current 400,000-strong army be supported by the imperial court. He said eagerly.

Although he cares about the people, he also has to think about the whole picture.

Even if it is benevolent, no endowment, and the poll tax is abolished, but there is no money to support the army.

Without an army, how can we hold the three states of You, He, and Ji.

In the end, after the three states were captured, the common people still returned to the old ways, and maybe even lived a worse life.

"Rest assured, Lone is about to announce that from now on, all the food and salary of the army will be paid by Lone's Shaofu. Liu Yu said.

The Shaofu of the Han Dynasty was really a good system.

Separate the money of the palace from the court, and let the emperor have a small treasury of his own, so that he can guard against many things.

For example, in the late Ming Dynasty, if Chongzhen had a small treasury and money, why not let the wild boar skin occupy this great river.

Moreover, letting the soldiers know that it was the emperor who paid them food, not the imperial court, was conducive to cultivating the soldiers' loyalty to the emperor.

"Dare to ask the king, how much money does Shaofu have?" asked after a moment's hesitation.

"The king, the minister shouldn't have asked too much, but the finances of the imperial court are relatively ......tight," he said, and he was a little embarrassed.

The Han Dynasty has the court of the Han Dynasty, and the Yan State has its own small court, so it is normal for the Emperor to say so.

Hearing the frustrated inquiry, everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears.

Everyone knows that the lord has money, but they don't know exactly how much money he has.

Even, they don't know where the lord's money comes from.

Could it be that Zhou Cang was a good businessman and made a lot of wealth for his lord? This is a relatively common idea.

It's just that he 370 thinks too much, Zhou Cang is not a good businessman, and he doesn't even know how to do business.

His only virtue is loyalty.

No matter what Liu Yu instructed Zhou Cang, the latter would not ask or say a word more.

"Yuanfu, after I go back, I will pay 10,000 gold in Shaofu and hand it over to Fu Shilang. Liu Yu didn't answer the frustrated question, but turned his head to look at Zhou Cang and ordered.

Now in Liu Yu's territory, the monetary system has been reformed, and all of them are settled with gold, silver, and copper coins.

One thousand copper coins is equal to one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins is equal to one gold coin.

One copper coin is equivalent to an expired copper coin, that is, one coin, and one gold coin is 100,000 coins.

10,000 gold coins is 100,000 yuan, that is, 1 billion yuan. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the annual tax was about 7 billion to 8 billion yuan.

Of course, it was in a peaceful year, and the taxes that the imperial court can collect now may be the Guanzhong and Xiliang regions.

"Whoa"

Zhou Cang nodded in response.

"Thank you, King. "

Fu Zhu hurriedly spoke.

"Shaofu will give the imperial court 10,000 gold every year, what do you think?" Liu Yu looked at the frustration and said.

"Is this true?"

When he heard this, he was overjoyed and asked.

"Of course"

Liu Yu gave an affirmative answer, and then said: "However, loneliness is also conditional. "。
