Chapter 651 Pilot(2/2)
"Mr. Sir, if landless people register as customers and do not need to pay rent adjustment, I am afraid that many people with very little land will sell or abandon their land and become customers on their own initiative." Zhao Ren said, after all, rent adjustment is not required.
Next, they were taxed and served according to Ding. One Ding had two stones of millet per year, two feet of silk, and three liang of cotton. They also served twenty days of free service in a year. If they did not serve enough, they would have to break the silk and replace it with mediocrity.
No matter if you have a hundred acres of land or one acre of land, one person counts as one share.
“If we in Sanyuan County can pilot the new policy, we can give those who have land equal status after conducting a census to determine the land area of the registered population.
For example, if there are ten acres of land, it will be classified as the tenth class, twenty acres of land will be classified as the ninth class, and one hundred acres of land will be classified as one class. The number of acres of land will be classified as many classes. The original one ding, two stones of millet per year, two feet of silk, and three taels of silk will be divided into three classes.
Also classified into ten grades,
If you only have ten acres of land, you only need to pay two bushels of millet, two feet of silk, and three coins of silk for each acre.
"What if there are multiple people in one house?"
"Then the land within a household must first be divided into tenths and then divided into equal parts. For example, if there are six people in a household, the family has 20% of the land and only has thirty acres of land, then one can be divided into tenths and the other nine.

In the final analysis, this trial method is actually based on collecting taxes based on property, rather than on people, and the most important item of property is the number of fields owned.
Of course, when it comes to specific implementation, Tian must still be graded according to fatness and thinness.
Craftsmen and merchants other than farmers must have different policies.
Property owners with land are the households and property owners without land are the customers.
Customers do not need to pay rent adjustments, but the main household does. However, if the land is less than 100 acres, discounts and exemptions are available.
During the pilot period, households with more than 100 acres of land were still levied on a rent-based basis, and they would not be levied on a per-mu basis right away.
Zhao Renben sighed, "If our Sanyuan County can really win the trial implementation of this new law, then a large number of people will receive tax exemptions and reductions, and their burdens will be greatly reduced. Even many people who have fled their households will be willing to re-naturalize and become customers,"
Customers are also good citizens, but those who run away from home are not good citizens. In fact, being a good citizen still has a lot of power. At least you must be a good citizen to select government soldiers, serve as officials in the imperial examination, or even serve as officials.
"The advantage is that the burden on the people is reduced, but there is also a problem, that is, the tax revenue will be reduced a lot immediately." After all, rent reductions and exemptions are only given to people who have insufficient land, but they are not immediately given to large landowners who own a lot of land.
Taxation.
"Mr. Sir, I don't think this is a big problem. Our Sanyuan County is now prosperous in industry and commerce, and the industrial and commercial taxes can make up for it."
Sanyuan County is the heart of Guanzhong and the land of Gyeonggi Province. The problem of land annexation is very serious. Chang'an's royal relatives, relatives and ministers are all watching closely, and they will annex if there is an opportunity. More and more people are losing their land.
In other words, ordinary people have long since lost the opportunity to allocate farmland.
Without land, renting is still indispensable, so the people have no choice but to abandon their registration and flee, and run to become slaves or tenants to the powerful landlords.
