Every family has to buy a cold weapon.

It is usually a short sword. A stick can be inserted into the handle and turned into long weapons such as beryllium and thorns. The wooden handle is flat and can have a sense of direction and is used for chopping and killing.

The hook of the sword thigh is a handguard, or a hook can be used to pull the cavalry off the horse.

Usually, they are put in scabbards and hung around their waists. They carry horse sticks for self-defense during production and labor. After all, there are many wild animals and many wild wolves here.

If it is a mountainous area, buy a mountain chopping knife for opening the road and ordinary firewood. You can also insert a horse stick and make a slab knife.

Horse sticks are good things to beat wolves. When encountering an emergency, combine the dagger and horse sticks and transform them into long weapons.

The head of the family must have a suit of armor and a set of leather armor. You can buy second-hand goods, which are very cheap. They are all seized in the war. These ragged troops are not favored by the militia, and they are sold to these farmers.

Of course, if you are willing to spend more money, you can buy chain mail. The Yang Mansion does not restrict the people from purchasing iron armor. Only aluminum alloy armor can be equipped by the army.

Stainless steel plate armor is relatively loose, but it must be registered and must not be lost. It is even more strictly forbidden to resell it.

The head of the family must have a crossbow, a spear, a waist knife and a musket. These are all second-hand goods eliminated by the troops and are cheap. Of course, you can buy a new one.

Those with money can buy flintlock guns, and those without money can prepare the cheapest three-eyed guns. But there must be a firearm.

Cuihua and her parents, fourteen-year-old brother, felt like dreaming when they looked at the bungalow and wooden house assembled by the workers and various daily necessities.

My younger brother was holding his dagger and playing with excitement.

Except for the entire big family, they were scattered to more than a dozen towns around Gaochang, and they felt helpless, they were so happy that they were almost crazy.

The cotton planting here is officially purchased and there is no need to worry about selling it. The grain is eaten by yourself. The straw is fed to cattle, sheep and livestock.

The seven or eight acres of land in front of and behind the house are vegetable fields, and autumn vegetables can be grown. In the future, you can grow some flue-cured tobacco. I heard that rapeseed can also be grown, so that you can squeeze oil by yourself.

There are many oil pressing workshops in the town. They only need to send the rapeseed to them and press the oil for free, but the rapeseed meal left over the oil press belongs to the oil press.

The same is true for soybeans. Just leave the soybean meal to the oil mill.

One hundred kilograms of beans can be exchanged for twelve kilograms of soybean oil. This way, there is also cooking oil.

The current village chief is a young man, sent by the Yang family. After all the rules were sorted out, he was transferred away and went to another newly established village to serve as the village chief.

In the future, the grassroots institutions at the villages, towns and town levels, as well as urban communities will all be handed over to residents' autonomy.

According to the rules, towns, towns and villages are directly elected. At that time, new village-level autonomous institutions will be produced through the annual end-of-year election.

The Yang family doesn't care about them. They elect their own management and manage themselves. They don't need to pay taxes to the Yang family.

The administrative agencies are completely left to them to manage. Only police, procuratorial, judicial and militia organizations, hospitals, and schools are managed by people sent by the Yang family. Judicial and militia organizations are generally responsible for disabled veterans in the war.

If these people’s jobs are not satisfied with voters, they can be selected by the end of the year and replaced with new personnel. They can also complain to the supervisory authority at any time.

There is one advantage of this, that is, the conflict between local administrative agencies and the people has nothing to do with the Yang family. After all, it is your own election and you are responsible for your own actions.

Yang Fan thinks it is more appropriate to maintain centralization at or above the county level.

The places where ordinary people have vital interests are basically in the neighborhoods below the county and city. As long as this is done, the people can be guaranteed to have a happy life.

The key is that Yang Fan does not collect taxes or collects corvee labor. He means he does not give lower-level officials the opportunity to have relationships with the people. The less officials in charge, the better the government is.

All autonomy can be governed by autonomy. The officials' exploitation of lower-class people is all under the above government orders.

If the government is idle and does not harass the people, officials will not have the opportunity to take the opportunity to blackmail.

The tax rate of the Ming Dynasty was actually very low. However, if the imperial court collected a penny of tax, the local government could actually charge ten times more fire consumption. However, the imperial court still bears the bad reputation.

Yang Fan simply refused to collect a penny, and anyone who dared to collect taxes would be punished.

Now he issues paper money, which can generate a fiscal deficit and make the currency loose, and monopolize the trade of many commodities. There are many ways to collect money, so there is no need for lower-level officials to take the opportunity to exploit the people.

If local supervisory agencies want to be promoted, they must handle the case.

As long as you find that the local area is collecting money, you will be impeached immediately.

In order not to cause burden to the people, Yang Fan simply did not collect a penny and all corvee labor was abolished, completely cutting off the possibility of corrupt officials and corruption.

The judiciary also intends to go out independently. It establishes an independent court, which is not affiliated with the government.

There are two main sources of embezzlement among local officials, one is money and grain, which comes from the treasury and tax collection. The other is criminal name, that is, litigation.

The court is independent and supervised by the supervisory agency. It basically blocks all channels for officials to embezzle.

The township level is re-elected once every two years, and the township mayor is elected from the village chief, while the township mayor is re-elected once every three years, and the township mayor is directly elected from the township mayor. The county-level agency was sent by the Yang Mansion.

In this era, the imperial power did not go to the countryside. The countryside was maintained by gentry.

The same is true for the Yang Mansion, but there are no gentry here. The land is also from the Yang Mansion. Farmers only have the right to use it. Resale, renting, or transfer are strictly prohibited. Land annexation is fundamentally avoided.

Land and homesteads belong to real estate. The Yang family stipulates that only the eldest son can inherit it. The daughter will marry someone else's family and will not bring land with her. After the other sons get married, the Yang family will move to another place and redistribute a household of 50 acres of land.

If there is no son, the land will be finally reclaimed and redistributed.

Yang Fan has organized personnel at the Law School of Xinghe Academy to study the Civil Code. In the future, he will be used to adjust the personal and property relationships of the people under the Yang family's rule.

Yang Fan believes that the Civil Law and the Marriage Law are the two laws that should be legislated first.

Yang Fan plans to make the future military expenditures come from tobacco monopoly. Administrative institutions' expenditures come from the revenue of wine, sugar, tea and salt. If these parts are done, the profits will be astronomical. There is no need to collect taxes from farmers at all.

However, agriculture (only refers to planting) can be tax-free, but aquaculture, fishery, industry and commerce, service industries, etc. cannot be tax-free. Land in cities also needs to be taxed, and real estate and property taxes must be imposed.

If the per capita living area exceeds 20 square meters, taxes must be imposed. According to the increase in area, the tax rate will be increased step by step. The annual land tax for luxury houses will be a considerable expense.

Real estate for ordinary people can be tax-free, but commercial real estate must be taxed.

These will be reflected in the compiled "Tax Law". Yang Fan's territory will have to be levied in the future. Yang's own enterprises must also pay taxes according to the rules. No enterprise has the privilege of tax exemption.

While adjusting housing prices and land prices, these are used as local taxes and used for local government expenditures.

Only by appropriately levied local taxes can ensure that local governments can manage the local economic environment well. Because if you do not serve the people well, they will migrate to other neighborhoods with better environments. In that case, local taxes will be reduced.
