Chapter 207: [Reasonable Tax Avoidance](1/2)

...

The people's minds are the most calculating.

When they knew that going to serve had a trip but no return, they asked the men to escape. If they were caught, they would be helpless, but if they ran away, they would be their own life.

Now that they have a way to go and go back, they have to consider a favorable solution.

The new county magistrate offered a plan to receive food when he was hungry, which was something that the previous county magistrate had never before.

In the current world, there are heavy taxes and floods. I don’t know if the food is guaranteed or not. The food in this family is getting less and less. This year, it will not be the end of the year. Sooner or later, the family will go hungry.

Send individuals to serve, and you can go and go back, and you can also ensure your food and clothing at home. This method is obviously the best!

Everyone has a concern in their hearts.

The next day, the new county magistrate introduced a new policy.

Only good people can go to the county government to collect food. Family members who do not pay taxes and do not serve are not good people.

The rations received by the serving families, including a serving population.

That is to say, there are five people in the family who go to serve alone, and there are only four people left in the family. When they come to get the rations, they can receive the original five people.

In this way, you can keep a portion of food rations for storage.

This is a good seller.

After seeing this policy come out, all the people did not feel that it was harsh. Instead, their calculations were loud and the balance turned towards Ao Wu.

At this time, Lao Wang also sent a message that after registering for service, he would not be sent to the front line immediately, but would be admitted to the front line first. After two months of study, he would be strong and he would set off to the front line.

In this way, I tell the people whether it is good or not, and then decide whether it depends on the results in two months.

If you want to escape, will it depend on the face of the new county magistrate?

It’s rare, and in the face of survival, the new county magistrate is just like that.

So, some people came to sign up one after another.

In a few days, hundreds of people came to sign up.

Lao Wang organized good men and asked believers to take them to school to teach induction classes and absorb spiritual energy to practice.

As long as they enter the sect, they will not disobey Ao Wu's words and will not fail to serve.

Of course, the strength of Huangkou Yitian can die by building a ship, which is ridiculous.

So Ao Wu is still very relieved about this.

Both the major issues of tax payment and military conscription have been settled. Although Ao Wu fulfilled his duties, he was more concerned about the people and was not Yang Guang's accomplice.

To be honest, the tax set by Yang Guang is too heavy, Ao Wu thought of avoiding taxes!

In the current world, the way people choose to avoid taxes is to escape, run away from home, and become that there is no one on their household registration.

And they ran to a large family with many lands, farmed for the large family, and paid rent for the large family.

This rent is much lighter than the taxes of the court and can be accepted by the people.

The big family has a lot of land, and when people have farming for them, their wealth will accumulate, and of course they are happy.

The people survived by avoiding taxes, the large family was happy with workers, and the imperial court's household registration counted was getting fewer and fewer.

There has been a topic in history that no matter how powerful the Tang Dynasty is, it is not as large as the Sui Dynasty. Part of the reason is that the people avoid taxes.

In the early Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Jianwen paid less taxes and allowed the people to rest and rest.

At this time, the tax was lighter than the rent of the big family, so a large number of people left the big family and joined the household registration, so most of the people were counted in the household registration.

In the Yang Guang era, the heavy taxes and wars caused the people to have the idea of ​​avoiding taxes, so they ran into the big family again. By the Tang Dynasty, the policies were not as good as those of the Sui Dynasty, so the people inertia did not leave the big family, which made the number of people who counted the population of the Tang Dynasty always smaller than those of the Sui Dynasty.

The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty also had the credit of such black households. They created wealth for the large family and gave them financial resources to promote the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

In Ao Wu's opinion, this tax avoidance method is too simple.

Some new ways to avoid taxes have emerged in Ao Wu's mind.

When the laws were rigorous in later generations, there were arguments about tax avoidance. In ancient times, when the laws were simple, it was not easy to avoid taxes?

He called Lao Wang and told him his thoughts.

"Look for me, find the loopholes in the law, and then we took the people of the whole county to avoid taxes. I remember one thing: monks do not need to pay taxes, but in law it is equal land tax. The people donated the land to Shaolin Temple, so there is no need to pay taxes. The monks will send the food for relief to the people, isn't that enough?"

Old Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said that he would find the loopholes in Fajin immediately and would definitely find them.

The matter in Liangfu County has been settled. Ao Wu didn't want to be idle here. He kept listening to the news about Qinhuang's tomb, so he decided to go to Qinhuang's tomb to take a look.

The county government of Liangfu County was handed over to Lao Wang for handling. He is now the county government chief, and he is proficient in personnel affairs and works in an orderly manner. Ao Wu pulled him to find loopholes in his law. He suddenly studied the law and became a legal expert.

Don't worry if he is here.

There is no need to worry about Taishan.

So he didn't even need to clean up and headed towards Xianyang.

Four days later, Ao Wu arrived in Xianyang. After searching for a few days, he found the whereabouts of Taoist Qiu and the others.

When they saw Grandma Xing and Taoist Qiu and the others frowning, they knew that they were in trouble.

One night two days later, Ao Wu followed them to a cave and walked in.

Ao Wu went to the cave to take a look. The yin energy inside was very heavy and it seemed a little cold.

It seems that this is the entrance to the Qin Emperor's tomb.

Ao Wu followed in.

Soon we arrived at the front of a quaint stone gate.

However, Taoist Master Qiu and his team did not seem to have entered the stone gate, but walked towards the other side.

Ao Wu looked at the big stone gate and then walked over there.

Not long after, I saw a small door. The door was open and there was an upward stair inside.

Ao Wu followed up.

When we arrived at a small stone chamber above, two clay figurines stood next to a table, like attendants.

Walking further inside, there is a downward stairs, walking downwards. Halfway through, I saw a hole next to the stairs.

It was dug up by a man later.

Why not walk under the steps, but dig a hole to the side?

Ao Wu was very strange, but he still crawled in.

I am not familiar with it here, so I will follow them.

After climbing for more than twenty meters, I entered a small flat hole.

Ao Wu looked at it. It was a partition, which was less than one meter in height, but it was very wide, at least several hundred meters.

After Ao Wu came in, he heard someone there.

But it didn't look obvious, so he followed him.

After walking for hundreds of meters, I finally saw four or five people in the middle.

Grandma Xing, Taoist Master Qiu, Xuan Zhi, and Wanshan are all there.

"I'm afraid the dragon energy I received here is not enough!" Master Qiu complained.

Wan Shan snorted, "You can't enter the gate, you can't enter the lower road, you can only be here. Aren't you afraid of losing your life like that a few nights ago?"

As soon as he said this, Master Qiu closed his mouth.

Xuan Zhi kept digging holes. When he heard the two of them quarreling, he raised his head in dissatisfaction and said, "You guys are going to quarrel. They all come down to dig holes, it's true."

Wanshan shut up now.

Taoist Master Qiu urged: "Hurry up, the midnight is coming soon!"

Xuan Zhi quickly lowered his head and continued to dig.

Ao Wu held his breath and listened to them. It seemed that the dragon energy could only be absorbed at the end of the year.

After two incense sticks, a trace of light suddenly appeared at the place where Xuanzhi stood, which was transmitted from the hole dug.

This is Qin's tomb, so it is just uploaded from the tomb.

Is there light in the tomb?

Isn’t the tomb dark? Why does it have light instead?

"Okay, there's a reaction, we're waiting here!" Master Qiu said excitedly with a compass.

Grandma Xing said, "Look at you, don't break it like you did in the previous few times!"

Master Qiu said firmly: "Don't worry, I'm ready this time."

He took out a lot of things from a bag and put them in front of the hole.

Ao Wu couldn't see what he was posing, but he knew it must be used to absorb dragon energy.
To be continued...
