The road to immortality for a hundred generations

Chapter 32 Everyone has it
"What day is it today? Why are there so many government officials on the road?"

In the early morning, the government officials hurrying up and down the road attracted the attention of many residents.

"Didn't you hear it? The screams last night were so frightening that I couldn't sleep well all night."

"Really? Why don't I feel it?"

"I heard it too! The sound of crying for father and mother gives me goosebumps."

"Could it be that there was some serious case of annihilation of the family?"

"Whatever, it has nothing to do with us anyway."

Although ordinary civilians were surprised, they didn't take it seriously.

But those wealthy people were frightened.

They have many more ways to get the news than civilians. What happened last night can be clearly understood by asking a little bit now.

Overnight, more than a dozen forces, large and small, were uprooted in Qingshan County, including the two giants Black Tiger Gang and Goshawk Martial Arts School.

If this matter falls on me, what's the point?
Just when the small aristocratic families in Qingshan County were panicking and preparing to evacuate Qingshan County at any time, an announcement was posted by two officials.

It turns out that what happened last night was not a tragedy, but the government brought in helpers to capture those criminals and bring them to justice.

As for why so many people died, it's because all the bad guys refused to be brought to justice and should be punished!

The official announcement has finally concluded this matter.

Some small aristocratic families who put their lives first decided to evacuate Qingshan County.

For them, although money is good, it is far less important than life.

But more of them are brave and decide to take the risk and stay in Qingshan County to see the situation.

No matter where you are, you will be taxed by the government and protected by local forces.

And now all the large and small forces in Qingshan County have been uprooted, which means that no force will charge them protection fees.

You must know that this protection fee is paid monthly and yearly. It adds up to a large amount of money.

For some small traders whose business is not doing well, the protection fees they pay can even account for half of their monthly profits!
The most important thing is that their family assets are here. It is not easy to move out and start over.

Not everyone can make such an important decision so easily.

As time went by, the wealthy businessmen and landowners who still stayed in Qingshan County found that the public security in the county was visibly getting better.

Not only are there no local hooligans looking for trouble, there are even fewer beatings and scoldings that were common in the past.

This discovery made their uneasy hearts a little calmer.

"How's it going? How's the asset statistics?"

In the county government office, Magistrate Liang asked.

"According to comparative statistics in the past month, a total of more than [-] acres of cultivated land have been received this time, including more than [-] acres of paddy fields and more than [-] acres of dry land."

"In addition to farmland, we also received 23 brothels, [-] drug stores, five grain stores, and three cloth shops."

The county magistrate looked at the statistics that had just been compiled and read them out one by one.

"More than 23 acres of cultivated land? [-] brothels and [-] drug stores???"

Magistrate Liang clenched his fists subconsciously and narrowed his eyes, "These leeches are really scary!"

He knew that these gangs, large and small, sucked a lot of blood, but he didn't expect it to be so much.

According to current statistics, these assets account for one-third of the county's total.

The other two-thirds are held by the government, various wealthy businessmen, and retail investors.

Just when County Magistrate Liang was about to say something more, he suddenly noticed the shadow in the corner, so he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, go down and leave me alone for a while." Although the county magistrate is the second or third in command in the county , seems to be the same thing, but in fact, the county magistrate is the highest administrative officer in the county, appointed by the emperor or local officials, and the county magistrate is mostly promoted or recommended by the county magistrate.

Although there is only one step between them, their identities are much different.

"The subordinate retire."

The county magistrate closed the slip, stood up and left.

After a while, a figure appeared in the open space in the high hall. This person was Wang Feng.

"What are your plans for these collected assets?"

Wang Feng asked.

What else can be done?All of it will be paid to the government.

This thought flashed through Magistrate Liang's mind, but he did not say it out loud: "Although I already have some plans in mind, I still hope you can give me some advice."

Although in terms of status, as the lord of a county, he is only higher than the other party.

But innate warriors are still guests even in the county, and no one will show off their identity without revealing their identity.

Therefore, Magistrate Liang gave him full respect.

"As far as I know, there are more than [-] households in Qingshan County, and this time a total of more than [-] acres of cultivated land have been confiscated,"

Wang Feng said calmly, "In my opinion, each family is allocated nine acres of cultivated land, and the remaining two thousand acres of cultivated land can be attributed to the government. What do you think?"

"what?"

Magistrate Liang's eyes widened and his mouth grew bigger unconsciously, "You, you mean, you want to give these lands to the common people? Everyone has it?"

He had thought about giving the land to other farmers for cultivation, but what he thought was that the cultivated land belonged to the government, and the farmers had to pay rent and taxes.

At present, the cultivated land tax in Qingshan County is [-]%, and the rent is also [-]%.

In other words, farmers can get [-]% of their land from farming.

This is already a very high return for farmers without land.

But according to the innate warrior in front of me, if the cultivated land is directly distributed to everyone, wouldn't it mean that only [-]% of the tax can be collected, but no rent can be collected?

“Everyone has it.”

Wang Feng's voice was still calm.

"Including those wealthy families?"

After hesitating for a moment, County Magistrate Liang couldn't help but ask.

"include."

Wang Feng still answered in the affirmative.

He has also thought about the question asked by the other party, but what is the boundary between poverty and wealth?A family with ten taels is considered rich, and a family with nine taels is considered poor?But after the latter has distributed nine acres of cultivated land, it will obviously far exceed the former.

In order to avoid trouble, Wang Feng simply decided that everyone should have it.

After all, this is calculated based on the number of households, not the number of people.

For those wealthy businessmen, nine acres of land is not much for their entire family, but for those poor families with only a few people in the family, nine acres of cultivated land can already satisfy them. There is even a balance.

Wang Feng wanted to say that taxes should be reduced or exempted for some things such as natural and man-made disasters, but he felt that saying too much at once would be troublesome to implement. It would be more appropriate to wait until the incident happened before solving it.

"Then, do the profits from those brothels, drug stores, rice shops, cloth shops, etc. need to be handed over to you?"

Magistrate Liang asked tentatively.

As the saying goes, if there is no benefit, you can't afford it. As a congenital person, it's impossible for the other party to want nothing, right?
