Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 57
Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked over with murderous eyes.

Liu Bei: Can we not mention the battle of Yiling?

Guan Yu: If I don't die, where will the battle of Yiling come from?

Zhang Fei shrank his head, still unconvinced and forced Lai Lai in a low voice: "I'm not wrong, the elder brother loses are not easy to deal with, so Cao Cao was also attacked by Lu Bu?"

Everyone laughed for a while, and there was nothing to comment on Sun Hou's record.

No matter how outrageous, can you live in Xiaoyaojin?
"Return without restraint" at least shows that it is quite rare to bring back the entire army.

[Second Master belonged to looking north at Cao Cao while building the city, and then another key factor came: the rebellion under Cao Cao's rule.

The rebellion under Cao Cao is an old problem, incomplete statistics:
From 200 to 220, there were 51 armed rebellions under Cao Wei's command, 11 in the core area, 17 in the eastern area, and 23 in the western area. 】

"The Wei Xi Rebellion should also be among them?" Liu Bei was deeply impressed by this kind of person who almost stabbed Cao Cao's hometown.

The key point is that this person also played the banner of the Han family, which increased his favorability by one.

[This brings up an old problem, that is, Cao Wei's taxation system.

A common saying in modern times is that the taxation system of the prosperous Tang Dynasty was inherited from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the taxation system in the Wei and Jin Dynasties began with the reform of Cao Cao.

Therefore, it is concluded that Cao Wei's taxation system is not only more advanced, but also more humane. It is too bad for Qin and Han to directly collect [-]% or [-]% of taxes!

Thanks to the tax law reformer Boss Cao, he laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty! 】

The prosperous Tang Dynasty all refer to Cao Cao's tax system?so smart?
Kong Ming admired him deeply. Since he came to Liu Bei to focus on taxation, he certainly knew how difficult and complicated it was.

A prosperous age would actually learn Cao Cao's tax law, so he should listen carefully!

Liu Bei was not too convinced: "Thirty tax one... Where did the [-] to [-]% tax come from!"

Zhang Fei said, the three brothers started their business as yellow scarves: "If it is true that the tax is [-] for [-], how can the yellow scarves sweep the world."

Liu Bei is silent, the Han Dynasty is in decline, and the people are not living, how can they not live?oppressed by exorbitant taxes.

[But this statement is in conflict with the never-ending rebellion under Cao Cao's rule.

If Cao Cao really had no worries about food and clothing under the rule of Cao Cao, why would the people rebel if they had nothing to do?Do so many people have the Han Dynasty in their hearts?

First of all, Qin and Han collected [-]% tax, which can be found in Ban Gu's "Han Shu", Wang Mang's edict and Xun Yue's remonstrance, and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" made an integrated narrative:
But the wealthy people invaded the mausoleum, divided the fields and robbed the holidays.The name is one for thirty taxes, and the actual tax is five.

That is to say, the official tax is still one of the thirty taxes of the land rent system, but it is five out of ten taxes including the exorbitant miscellaneous taxes. 】

Liu Bei lowered his head even lower, shame on him!And throw it to the later generations and the later generations of the later generations!

The nobles invaded the mausoleum, divided the land and robbed the holidays. Isn't this the biggest ailment of the Han Dynasty?

Kong Ming also nodded in agreement, exorbitant miscellaneous taxes are the root of the people's suffering. How can the people live?

[Cao Cao changed to a fixed land rent system with four liters of income per mu. At the end of Han Dynasty, the yield per mu was only about a quarter of our current level, which is about 280 catties.

Four liters is about 16 catties, which is about eighteen tax one. From this point of view alone, it is like the reincarnation of a living Buddha. 】

Mi Fang noticed that the atmosphere in the hall had changed.

Everyone's mouths were wide open, as if they saw the light curtain for the first time when they came in.

The elder brother beside him also looked out of his mind.

"Impossible!" Guan Yu jumped up: "How can future generations quadruple the yield per mu!"

"Twelve stones per mu!" Kong Ming couldn't believe it: "Could it be that this younger generation made a mistake?"

"Or is this the power of that technology again?!"

"Kong Ming!" Liu Bei also farmed, and his mind was spinning fast at the moment:
"Since Zuobo paper can be made with Caihou paper, can you also make more than ten stones per mu with "Heavenly Craftsmanship"?"

Kong Ming opened his mouth, but finally shut up and shook his head, my lord, you think too much.

According to Kong Ming's own estimate, this year's rice yield in Jingzhou is three stones and three per mu, which is already very good.

[But in fact, only family landlords can enjoy this tax system.

What Cao Cao sacrificed to ordinary people was the method of garrisoning fields. According to the book of Feng Yu's remonstrance recorded in Jin Shu:

If private households use official cattle to plow the fields, they will be taxed six out of ten; if they use private cattle, they will be taxed five out of ten. 】

"Kong Ming, how much do we tax now?" Liu Bei asked.

Shaking the feather fan, Kong Ming said in a low voice: "Total of all taxes, about three out of ten taxes to four out of ten taxes."

Liu Bei nodded. Thirty tax one is an extravagant hope in troubled times, but at least lower than Cao Cao's will make me feel better.

[Where did the people in Tuntian come from?forced levy.

The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms has always recorded that Cao Cao kept recruiting people from other places to the vicinity of Yecheng in Xuchang.

For example, after the pacification of Jizhou in 205, households in Jizhou were forcibly relocated, and Huainan was forced to relocate in 209, causing [-] people to flee to Jiangdong.

And how to deal with the people who do not agree to be expropriated to farm or flee?

He Kui's biography records that "those who do not follow the teachings have to be punished". 】

Liu Bei shook his head. He understood Cao Cao's cruelty, and so did the common people.

Hearing the arrival of Cao Bing was like hearing the arrival of evil spirits, so he dragged his family and ran away with Liu Bei.

It was because of the poor running across the river with the people that Cao Cao overtook him, which led to the defeat of Changbanpo and the death of Mrs. Mi.

But if there is no regret, Liu Bei only regrets that he does not have many soldiers in his hand and cannot defeat Cao thief head-on.

[But it is undeniable that Cao Cao's taxation reform is a kind of institutional progress, and of course it is far from the household contract responsibility system after the founding of our country.

The Tang Dynasty did refer to this system and pushed the Tang Dynasty to a prosperous age known to the world.

But who would have thought that Cao Cao's initial reforms were just to make peace with the aristocratic family?
It is because the aristocratic families pay less taxes, the people in the fields are oppressed even more. 】

For a while, everyone was thinking about it, Liu Bei and Kong Ming exchanged a look, and everything was said without saying anything.

Kong Ming saw another new word, and kept it firmly in his mind, wondering whether this system of founding the country in later generations is the key to their twelve stone per mu?
It's just a pity that you can't guess too much from the name.

Liu Bei thought a little more deeply in his heart. Aristocratic families and big clans have always been a chronic disease that is difficult to solve. I don't know how future generations will solve it?
[In addition to taxes, the people will also be conscripted into corvée. If they dare to refuse or run away, the end will of course be death.

Under such circumstances, the oppressed people's grievances became more and more boiling, and in 219 the whole world was gradually pushed to the point of being on the verge of breaking out.

In the first month of the 23rd year of Jian'an, Ling Jiben, the imperial physician of the Han Dynasty, rebelled against Shaofu Geng Ji, Si Zhi Wei Huang, etc., attacked Xu, and burned the prime minister, Chang Shi Wang Biying.

In the 23rd year of Jian'an, Zhang Gu, the head of Lu Hun, was transferred to Dingfu by Shun, and he was assigned to Hanzhong.The common people are afraid of long-distance service and harbor harassment.Minsun Lang and others killed the county head book because of their troops, as a rebellion.

In the winter month and October of the 23rd year of Jian'an, Hou Yin, the general guard of Wan, and others rebelled, took charge of the prefect of Nanyang, robbed the officials and the people, and Baowan. 】
