Chapter 27 Tax Holidays in the Badlands
Plants cannot live without water, and if their roots cannot absorb water, they will die.

She has read about the treatment methods of saline-alkali land, but she has never tried it.

"Grandpa Zhang, do I need to pay taxes if I open up wasteland?"

"There is a tax holiday, and the state encourages land reclamation, so there is a three-year tax holiday for wasteland. If you contract a lot of land, you can be tax-free for five to ten years, but how many years of tax-free, you have to pay enough taxes for many years before you can give up this. The right to use a piece of wasteland has to be paid regardless of whether the wasteland has income or not. After the tax holiday, the yearly tax for one mu of wasteland land only needs to pay five bowls of grain, which is one-tenth of the tax for good land, and there are no other additional taxes. What? Xiaoxi, you want to open up wasteland?"

Xiaoxi nodded after listening.

Yes, she wants to open up wasteland. One-tenth of the tax on ordinary land is exciting to think about. The main thing is that there are no other messy additional charges. Although she doesn't know what the messy taxes are, just think about it She is very excited to strive for a ten-year tax holiday, not to mention the tax policy in the later period is really amazing.

"Many people want to take advantage of such a big advantage, but it is not easy to take advantage of it. When the policy of reclaiming wasteland was implemented at the beginning, there were indeed many people who wanted to reclaim wasteland. All of them were full of enthusiasm, but why didn't they all come out?" You can't grow anything in the wasteland, you'll just waste good seeds." Uncle Zhang kindly reminded him, trying to dispel Xiao Xi's thoughts.

Opening up wasteland is not an easy task. Many people followed suit to open up wasteland and cultivate land under the policy, but in the end, how many people lost their wives and lost their soldiers.

The tax exemption period is three years, and after three years, the wasteland tax must be paid for three years before the wasteland use right can be given up. Those with a tax exemption period of ten years are even worse.

"Xi'er is just a child, and she is curious about everything." Liu Shi hugged her daughter and smiled to smooth things over. In fact, when Uncle Zhang said that the land next to him was unowned and had a tax holiday, she was also moved, but he was caught by Uncle Zhang again. After saying that, she gave up. Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world.

But Xiaoxi did not give up on this idea.

When she was watching a documentary in her previous life, she had seen an introduction about saline-alkali land. Out of curiosity, she checked the specific distribution and area of ​​saline-alkali land. What surprised her was that saline-alkali land actually accounted for 1/3 of the cultivated land. In the case of a large amount of governance, and in this world, no one governs, so farmers stay away from saline-alkali land. Presumably, the ratio of saline-alkali land to cultivated land may be higher, the ratio is likely to be 1/1, and it may even account for 2/3 of the cultivated land.

She has read about the treatment methods of saline-alkali land, and only remembers two, salt washing and deep plowing.

Salt washing: Irrigate clear water on the saline-alkali land, let the water dissolve the soluble salt on the soil surface and bring it to the deep soil.

But think about the productivity and labor force of people in this era. There are no mechanized machines, and everything depends on people's shoulders and two feet.

Thinking about the distance between her own land and the river here, it is about two miles, which is the shortest distance, because she doesn't know where her own land is. If calculated by the distance from her home to the nearest field, the farthest is four miles. Five miles, a trip back and forth is ten miles, and ordinary people don’t have horse-drawn carts and flat wooden carts, so they can only carry water on their shoulders. One can go back and forth for ten miles, and they can carry two buckets of water at a time. big project.

In ordinary people's homes, they need to wash, cook, carry water, weed and manage their own fields and so on.

Here, there is no washing machine for laundry, no induction cooker for cooking, no tap water for drinking, and even poop has to be dug out and piled up in the cesspit by yourself. It is said that it is sold by the catty, and how many catties can be exchanged for as many coppers.

After careful calculation, after removing these hours, there is basically no extra time.
