Life master in the last days

Chapter 494 Natural disasters and wars disrupt the world 42

These people are also some of the people that Ling Xue pays more attention to, because they have already thought about settling down, and now it depends on whether the conditions provided by Ling Xue are good or not.

Ling Xue is also considering this issue. The conditions she plans to offer are not too generous, that is, all the land opened up will be given to them. However, in the first three years, Ling Xue will have to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes. After three years, Ling Xue will No matter what they planted.

But they still have to pay the land tax that is due three years later.

Regarding taxes, Ling Xue's conditions are still very relaxed. She only collects land tax and does not collect other taxes.

Even Ling Xue, who was required by the government to collect corvees every year, did not intend to let the people out. It was not that there were no more corvees, but that Ling Xue planned to pay them to come out to work.

As long as they are willing to pay, the people are eager to come out to do corvee service.

Ling Xue told Shen Zhen her idea and asked him to implement it, but Shen Zhen was very angry. If you cancel all taxes, how can you keep the government running?

Ling Xue stunned him with just one sentence: "Yunyang Mansion is not ours now. We are just in charge of it, so I will do it according to my own wishes. Do you still have to work hard to plunder the people and then give it to them?" Isn’t that emperor in the capital successful?”

Shen Zhen: When did I say that I would take away the people’s things and give them to the emperor?

In the end, Shen Zhen still couldn't defeat Ling Xue, so he had to promulgate this matter as a new policy.

There are still three things to do before the new official takes office. Everyone in Yunyang City is watching Ling Xue's actions with open eyes.

Nowadays, rebels or anti-kings everywhere have implemented new policies. In order to collect military expenses for war, they use various clever pretexts to take away the little things from the hands of the people. There are really complaints!

When we arrived at Lingxue's place, not only did we not charge more, but we also canceled a lot. Everyone thought that there was something wrong with Mr. Shen's brain?

Although the Shen family is very rich, they can't exempt all the taxes that need to be levied on the people, right?

Not to mention those wealthy families who don't believe it, even the common people don't believe it either.

Ling Xue doesn't care so much, just speak the truth whether you believe it or not.

Half a month later, all the fields were planted with sweet potatoes and potatoes, and even the wasteland opened by the refugees was basically planted.

Ling Xue could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Now it's time to see how the harvest will be in three months. Although Ling Xue is very confident about the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes, she still doesn't dare to set up flags until the results come out.

Regarding land, Ling Xue was still very serious. After all, this was a feudal society, and land was the most important thing to the people. Therefore, Ling Xue decided to count all the land in Yunyang Mansion.

Whether it was in the name of that juren to avoid taxes, or whether it was the local tyrant and evil gentry who hid a large number of their fields, all of them must be registered.

All taxes that need to be paid must be paid, and nothing can be hidden. Anyone who conceals the truth will have their land taken back to the Yunyang Mansion.

If you don't report the land honestly, then I'm sorry, but you won't be able to take it.

As soon as Ling Xue announced this policy, everyone was shocked, especially those from wealthy families. Every household has these hidden fields and tax-sheltered fields, and Ling Xue has harmed their interests.

These families sent people to find Shen Zhen one after another. In fact, Shen Zhen was the one who implemented these policies. But Shen Zhen was more cunning, so he said to these people:
