"Miss, are we really not leaving Jizhou?"

Zhongshan, in the Wuji Zhen Mansion, the housekeeper looked at Zhen Jiang and asked with some concern.

Wuji Zhen, the head of the family is Zhen Yi, but Zhen Yi died too early, and Zhen Yi's eldest son Zhen Yu died early.

The second son, Zhen Yan, once raised filial piety and integrity, and was appointed as the chief of Qu Liang.

But his body has always been bad, and now he is bedridden and completely unable to handle the affairs of the Zhen family.

The third son, Zhen Yao, is young, not yet ten years old, and has no way to deal with family affairs.

Zhen Yi's wife, Changshan Zhang, was dead long before Zhen Yi died.

In the end, the huge Zhen family can only be managed by Zhen Jiang, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, who comes out to throw her head and take charge of the family's affairs.

"Don't go. "

Zhen Jiang shook his head and said with a serious face: "The Zhen family's "four five zeros" have been developing in Jizhou for so many years, once they leave Jizhou, my Zhen family will inevitably be reduced to a third-rate businessman's home. "

The Zhen family, as a family of merchants, is not as good as those big families.

What's more, even those big families, once they leave their county and go to other places to develop, they will become second-class families.

Even, if a bad one is not good, it may be directly knocked into the dust, and the wealthy family will become a poor family.

"But Miss, now under the command of Liu Yu, the king of Yan, and Youzhou in Youzhou, are waging a war to reform the household registration system, and it will be Jizhou's turn next.

Many Jizhou clans have left Jizhou. The housekeeper still wanted to persuade Zhen Jiang.

The butler is telling the truth.

The current situation in Jizhou is much more depressed than the previous prosperity.

Many families, as well as local heroes, left Jizhou with their families and prepared to go south to Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou for development.

There is no way, Jizhou will not only implement the household registration reform system next, but Liu Yu will also nationalize all the land, isn't this going to kill them?

In addition to this, Liu Yu also has to collect business taxes.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when the commercial tax was the highest, only 26% of the commercial tax was collected.

As for Liu Yu, the starting point of commercial tax is calculated according to 25%, and the highest can reach 50% commercial tax.

Don't think that the family will not be in business, where will the money come from if you don't do business?

If you don't have money, why should you have fine clothes and food.

According to Liu Yu's taxation, most of their profits have to be paid, why?

The department that collects taxes is not under the control of the imperial court, but under the tax department of the Shaofu, which specializes in collecting commercial taxes.

This pile by piece led to the fact that the families and landlords in Jizhou had no choice but to sell their land and go south with the money.

After all, you can't take the land with you.

Seeing that the big families of the family, as well as the families of various merchants, were all going south, the clansmen on the Zhen family's side also panicked.

But Zhen Jiang just didn't agree to leave Jizhou.

"They are them, my Zhen family is the Zhen family, they want to go at will, my Zhen family will not stop them, but my Zhen family will never leave Jizhou. Zhen Jiang shook his head and said with a serious face.

"Miss, if you don't agree again, the clan elders will come forward. The housekeeper was also embarrassed.

Zhen Jiang is just in charge of the Zhen family.

In fact, the Zhen family is not the only one in the Zhen family.

"Then let them come, as long as I, Zhen Jiang, is the master of the Zhen family for a day, I will definitely not agree to the Zhen family leaving. Zhen Jiang said without fear.

"Big Sister"

At this time, Zhen Jiang's four younger sisters, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, Zhen Rong, Zhen Mi, and Zhen Yi's third son, Zhen Yao, came to Zhen Jiang.

"Eldest sister, the clan elder is here. "

Zhen Yao jumped in front of Zhen Jiang and said in a childish voice.

As he spoke, he saw three old men on crutches walking into the lobby.

"Zhen Jiang, I've seen all the clan elders. "

These three people are Zhen Yi, that is, Zhen Jiang's father's uncle, Zhen Xun, Zhen Song, and Zhen Guan.

In the family, the authority of the patriarch is no less than that of the patriarch.

"I heard from the people below, Jiang'er, do you not agree with Zhen's southward movement?" After Zhen Xun, Zhen Juan, and Zhen Guan sat down, Zhen Xun looked at Zhen Jiang and asked.

"Yes, clan elder. Zhen Jiang nodded.

Since she asked for it, she wouldn't deny it. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Why?"

Zhen Xun looked at Zhen Jiang and asked seriously.

"Dare to ask the three clan elders, what do you think of today?" Zhen Jiang looked at Zhen Xun, Zhen Juan, and Zhen Guan, and asked with a serious expression.

"Today is a troubled time.........."

Zhen Xun and the three of them glanced at each other, and after that, Zhen Xun said: "Jizhou, it is even more of a chaos in chaos, the princes south of the Yellow River will inevitably go north to attack Yan in the future, and at that time, Jizhou will bear the brunt among them."

Therefore, the three of us decided to let Zhen go south, and we have already negotiated with Xuzhou Mi to allow my Zhen to enter Xuzhou as long as Zhen pays one-third of the family property. "

Zhen's three-percent family assets, that is a huge asset, calculated in the currency of the three states at this time, all of Zhen's belongings can add up to about 500,000 gold coins.

One-third, that's the asset of 160,000 gold coins.

There are so many of them, of course, they are not reluctant, but there is no way, if they want to go to each other's territory and beg for food, they must donate part of their family resources.

"Dare to ask the clan elder, from Jizhou to Xuzhou will pass through Qingzhou, if Qingzhou Yuan Shao stops me, how should my Zhen clan deal with itself?" Zhen Jiang asked with a serious face.

"At this point, Jiang Er, you don't have to worry, I have already negotiated with Xin Bi under Yuan Shao, and I only need to pay 20% of the family assets to pass through Qingzhou. Zhen on the side spoke.

"Qingzhou Yuan's family has two percent of family assets, and Xuzhou Mi's family has three percent of family assets, just these two items, my Zhen family's family assets have shrunk by half, so why don't my Zhen family stay in Jizhou to continue to develop?" Zhen Jiang looked at the three clan elders and continued to ask.

"Jiang'er, you don't know. "

Zhen Guan shook his head and said: "Staying in Jizhou, you can save this fifty percent of the family assets, but Yanwang Liu 0.6 Yu is a person whose eyes can't tolerate sand."

According to the business operated by the Zhen family, the average tax paid is almost at the rate of % of the commercial tax. "

"Since then, my Zhen family has to pay 35,000 gold coins in commercial taxes when they receive 100,000 gold coins a year, and in the end, the net profit is less than 30,000 gold coins. Zhen Guan looked helpless.

Who would want to leave their homeland if they could, but isn't there no way?

"The three clan elders, who do you think this Han world will end up in the hands of? Is it the Qingzhou Yuan clan, the Yanzhou Cao clan, or the Jiangdong Sun clan, or the Yan King Liu Yu?" Zhen Jiang stared at the three clan elders with his eyes and asked word by word.

"This ......"

Zhen Xun, Zhen Juan, and Zhen Guan glanced at each other, but there was no answer.
