Before social productivity reaches a certain level, taxation on agriculture is a necessary condition for a country to continue its existence.

Before Ying Yi traveled through time and space, industry and commerce were developed, and his taxes met the needs of the regime, so he gradually reduced the proportion of agricultural tax until he did not collect agricultural taxes or even subsidies were subsidized.

But in this current time and space, it is difficult to do it for at least a period of time.

To replace taxes in agriculture, industry and commerce must be highly developed. The productivity of society is far from meeting the corresponding conditions.

For the time being, 50% of the tax on agriculture is not considered a heavy tax based on the current improved seeds. First, the people can accept it and have enough surplus grain to subsidize household income. Second, the levy can fully meet the needs of the Yingyi regime.

For example, in the three counties of Nanyang, based on the yield per mu, the total harvest is about 7.2 million stones. Half of the harvest is 3.6 million stones. The main grain-consuming household under Ying Yi was the army, which was only 27,000.

The army of 27,000 can be eaten for 10,000 s are allowed to eat for a year.

What's more, 27,000 people may not be able to finish ten thousand stones a day. Besides, there are only three counties, accounting for a very small part of the entire Henan prefecture.

Therefore, in the provisions of the Agricultural Tax Law, each household is only taxed once a year.

This is the real welfare for farmers!

The good seeds improved by Dijiyi have a two-month harvest cycle. Even if the first farming is added, the later farming is harvested, and then one month or three months, it is inevitable to harvest it. Neither fear the severe cold and heat, nor drought and flood, you can harvest all seasons in one year.

Taxation is only one season, but not the other three seasons.

In this way, the richness of the people's surplus food can be imagined.

"Of course, this is an ideal state, but it is not advisable."

Ying Yi and Zheng Yunzhi walked side by side and walked towards the study, saying, "Although good varieties are highly productive, they consume more land. Planting four seasons a year is difficult to bear. Therefore, two seasons a year, one season apart from each season, are used to plant other crops, such as beans, and nourishing ground power."

Zheng Yunzhi nodded slightly: "Not bad. In addition, people should be encouraged to apply more fertilization. Only by combining rotational crops with fertilization can everything be foolproof."

Ying Yi smiled and said, "Not only that, the water conservancy facilities in various places are also going to be in the plan. At present, there are 80,000 slave workers, half of which are used to build roads and half are used to build water conservancy. I plan to do this by this time next year, the main roads between counties in Henan and counties must be completed. The main water conservancy facilities must also be built."

He also said: "The first harvest of 100 million mu of plans will surely enter the spring of the year. The huge amount of food obtained is foreseeable. If the labor force of 80,000 slaves is insufficient, the people can be recruited. Results must be seen in the whole year."

Zheng Yunzhi said: "As long as the food is sufficient, nothing is a problem."

Then he said, "The grain output is huge, and I am afraid it will affect the price of grain. After discussing with the Agricultural Department and the Commercial Department, the provincial and ministerial yamen will decide the price of dead grain, otherwise the grain will be low and the farmers will be injured."

Ying Yi nodded: "This is the reason why the low grains hurt farmers. To avoid this hidden danger, not only should we set the price of dead grain, but the official should also vigorously purchase it. Hoarding grain is necessary for a long time. Several official large granaries must be established just in case."

Zheng Yunzhi nodded continuously.

"The price of grain and salt is the basis of commercial pricing." As he spoke, he had arrived at the study. The two of them sat down and Ying Yi said: "All kinds of fruits, daily necessities, and production tools are closely related to this. The price of grain and salt is limited to a specific range to ensure order and stability."

According to the current grain yield per mu, the more food it will be. If it is not regulated, the price of grain will definitely plummet. Once the grain price falls, it will affect the entire economic system.

Grain prices cannot rise too high, as it will affect all industries. And it will not fall too hard, as it will affect social order.

"The prefecture-government yamen is already planning to build a granary." Zheng Yunzhi said: "Build one in Kaifeng, Luoyang and Nanyang. The standard is 20 million stones."

"I'm afraid there is no use." Ying Yi thought for a moment: "Once the 100 million mu plan is completed, five to six stones of grain will be collected per mu, and the tax alone will be 500 million and six hundred million stones."

Zheng Yunzhi smiled and said, "Kaifeng, Luoyang and Nanyang have built main warehouses. There cannot be only three granary systems. Under them, each county must also build warehouses and store grain. If it is dispersed, 600 million stones of grain will not be a problem."

Ying Yi nodded in agreement.

Then he said: "How are you preparing for the issuance of new currency in the Commercial Bureau?"

Zheng Yunzhi said: "Within half a month."

Ying Yi laughed: "Okay. Where is the specific issuance plan?"

"Start with the Chamber of Commerce General Association." Zheng Yunzhi said: "The Shilling Chamber of Commerce collects old gold, silver and copper coins from major merchants, exchanges them for the corresponding amount of new coins, and at the same time opens money shops in the branches of local commercial departments to open exchange entrances to the public."

"Where is the publicity?" Ying Yi said.

"It's already done." Zheng Yunzhi said: "I have seen the new currency. Whether it looks or is safe, it is extremely high-end. I believe the people will not reject it."

Ying Yi nodded: "It's good."

...

The government affairs involved in a regime include all aspects of society. The people's food, drink, defecation, and urination, various needs of officials, various developments of society, whether they fight outside or unify their thinking within, it is not easy to become the master of a country. Both the body and the spirit have extremely high requirements.

Especially at the beginning of his new life, many rules have not yet been set and those in power must do it themselves. Therefore, Ying Yi was not relaxed.

Of course, it's not difficult.

Ying Yi is strong enough both physically and mentally.

For Ying Yi, this period was a good time. The Ming court had no spare time to deal with him, and the Tartars had not yet entered the pass. It was a good opportunity to develop in a dull way.

With the issuance of various government orders and various measures launched, a prefecture in Henan began to show vigorous vitality.

In terms of agriculture, by October, the reclamation of the 100 million mu of planned came to an end. At the same time, the land that was reclaimed in the early stage had entered a farming state.

I believe that by the end of October and before November, the plan of 100 mu will be successfully completed. By December to January, the plan of 100 mu will enter the harvesting stage. By the beginning of spring, Henan will be completely free from the threat of hunger and enter a period of stable development.

However, for the entire Henan prefecture, the plan for 100 million mu is not all, it is just a part. 100 million mu of fertile land seems to be huge, but in fact it is only 10,000 square kilometers. 10,000 square kilometers is only equivalent to the area of ​​a small area of ​​the Fuzhu.
