Chapter 1466 Conquest Tax(1/2)

Baekje King Fuyuzhang is dead.

When he died, Baekje was not yet dead, so he was not considered the king of the country. However, the Baekje court was happy that the old man finally died, and he was still happy.

They even gave Fuyuzhang the name of a foolish king before.

Fuyuzhang died, and many people even celebrated after hearing this.

"Surrender!"

A general of Baekje told a civil servant of Baekje that all Baekje were lost, and three of the five accompanying officials were lost. The Baekje army was vulnerable to the Chinese army. He kept losing the city and lost land. If Fu Yuzhang had not run away quickly last time, they would have become prisoners.

During this period, the King of Hun took them to run around and ran away, and everyone had enough of this life.

"But can Dahua pardon you, I and others?"

Some people hesitate.

"Send someone to talk. As long as Dahua is willing to guarantee our lives, we will be willing to surrender."

"I'm afraid they may not care."

Baekje Capital.

The traces of war seem to have been cleared out, the port is still busy, and shops in the capital are still open.

However, the red Dahua dragon flag floating on the top of the city declares that the city has changed its owner.

Baekje Palace.

In addition to the red dragon flag, there is also a red nine-headed bird flag.

Prince of Dahua and Marshal Zhang Jing of the Eastern Expedition have moved here from Danluo Island.

All the people in the palace were replaced by those in the Eastern Expedition camp.

Zhang Jing was not interested in the beauties in the Baekje Palace. As soon as he entered Baekje City, he immediately ordered the treasury to be investigated, and then the palace was cleared and used as a new base camp for the Eastern Expedition.

With Zhang Jing coming together, there were many businessmen.

Many of them were Chinese merchants who had been in Baekje Royal City before, and Zhang Jing returned their original shops to them. At the same time, many shops and warehouses owned by the Baekje Royal Family and the government were confiscated.

Zhang Jing also confiscated the property of those officials and merchants who fled to Baekje. The officials and merchants who did not escape, stayed, and expressed surrender to Dahua, Zhang Jing gave a lenient pardon to them.

After levied a property tax on them, they became Shunmen in the occupied areas of Dahua.

This property tax is 20% of their real estate and movable property. In addition, all their property, houses, shops, etc. need to be exchanged for Dahua's contract, and an additional 8% of the deed tax is required.

Property tax and deed tax are not low.

But no one dared not to pay the Baekjeans. For them, either pay the heavy tax, or only all their property will be confiscated and people may become slaves.

The choice they had had, Dahua asked them to pay these two taxes, which they regarded as conquering taxes.

After paying the tax, although they were not registered in Dahua, they also became Shunmins in the occupied areas, and the Chinese army would also ensure the safety of their lives and property.

Those who open shops can continue to open after paying taxes.

The supply of various materials such as grain in Baekje City is still normal. Even the Marshal's Office of the Eastern Expedition banned those merchants from taking the opportunity to raise prices, forcibly maintaining the stability of prices.

The people in the city also implemented the Baojia system.

Baojia joint insurance, and Baojia joint insurance and other positions.

With tens of thousands of Chinese troops entering, the entire Baekje City became peaceful.

Zhang Jing was still very strict in the army. After entering the city, he repeatedly banned private action, robbery and rape, etc.

He even imposed severe punishment on several bad actions, allowing military discipline to be maintained.

The Chinese army settled in Baekje City as if they were stationed in the city of Dahua.

On the one hand, he was strict military discipline, and on the other hand, Zhang Jing also generously rewarded the Chinese army. From the confiscated special funds of the treasury, a large part was specially drawn out to reward the army.

Each soldier received a reward and some supplies.

He even quickly promoted and promoted soldiers who performed well in the battle to seize the city.

After all, the soldiers were very satisfied. No one had any complaints about not being able to rob. Even if they took turns to take vacations and now the soldiers are playing in the city, no one would say that they would rob merchants, tease women, and even eat a tycoon meal.

After trembling for a few days, the Baekje people found that the order was so good that even the hooligans and gangsters who had passed by the streets were gone. They were extremely surprised and filled with surprise.

They didn't know that those hooligans and gangsters had wanted to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation. As a result, the Chinese army entering the city quickly controlled the city and then gave priority to cracking down on these cancers.

One by one, they were thrown into the prisoner camp, and Zhang Jing had no good attitude towards these people. The fate of these people was to become slaves, contribute to Dahua's next rule to Baekje, build roads, cities, and bridges, or even mining and building villages. They would never have a good life in their next life.

Zhang Jing asked someone to preach the Dahua Law in the city every day, telling these Baekje people that Dahua preaches the law and governs the country according to the law.

The temporary county magistrate and governor were successively appointed, and after these local officials took office, they all began to implement military control.

Procuratorate, court, police station.

These three yamen were the first to be established.

Then Zhang Jing established a parliament and brought in Baekje's political and business circles, together with the surrendered people from the local tyrants, to use them to help maintain order in the occupied areas.

These people had no desire to resist Dahua, but were very active in assisting the Chinese army in managing the Baekje people. They reported to the Chinese army in various local situations, so that Zhang Jing could help the governance of the occupied areas after the war.

Zhang Jing announced Dahua’s tax laws in the Baekje occupied area.

These surrendered Baekje merchants in the future paid the same tax rate as those in the Central Plains.

A tax of fifteen cents per acre of land is paid, and a businessman will pay 20% of the income tax.

There is no additional tax on all other aspects.

This made Baekje unable to believe it after hearing this.

Why did their tax revenues have been much less than before after being occupied by Dahua?

Especially for ordinary people, their taxes were on the surface of twenty taxes, but in fact there were various taxes and fire consumption, etc., so their taxes were extremely heavy. Not to mention farming, this was heavier than taxes.

And now, tax cuts are actually being reduced!

Acre of land is only 15 cents of tax.

If the land is planted by a tenant, they don’t even have to pay taxes, because this tax is levied on the property of the land.

Dahua is announcing the implementation of new tax rates and has announced new standards for lending interest and land rent.

Reduce interest rates and rent reductions, and even cancellations of interest that exceeds the principal tax will not be recognized.

This move was a blow to the nobles and powerful people in Baekje, because they had many privileges in the past, but they paid less taxes, especially in business, with very little business taxes.

Now, the same tax law as the Central Plains is implemented, and regular taxes are imposed on property, and their taxes have increased significantly, not to mention that they cannot evade taxes after doing business.

Reducing rent and interest rates is also a major blow to those who lend and rent.

However, Zhang Jing didn't care about the thoughts of those people.

For Dahua, the upper class of Baekje will definitely be destroyed. Now, the surrendered Baekje upper class does not mean that they must support them.

What Dahua needs is not to defeat Baekje, but to occupy and conquer it, so that these Baekje people will become people under Dahua's rule from then on, pay taxes and farm for Dahua.

Reducing taxes and interest rates to the people is also a way to make Dahua rule here easier.

"Your Highness, as soon as the order to reduce rent and interest rates was issued, many of the Baekje upper classes who had already surrendered were ready to move again, and some even secretly connected with each other. These people were ill-behaved."

After hearing Niu Jinda's report, Zhang Jing just smiled slightly.

He stood in front of a Baekje sand table and looked at the offensive situation chart marked by the staff.

"We don't have to care about these people. Whoever dares to violate the laws we issued should be caught, copied, and killed!"

"I will not indulge these people!"

Although Dahua has adopted a gentle attitude towards these people and even lets them enter parliament at all levels, it does not mean that Dahua will indulge these people.

If you honestly surrender and obey, then Dahua will also make promises.

But if you dare to do something randomly, you will cut off whoever you reach out.

Zhang Jing is just missing the name of a teacher.

"Let the Jinyiwei find out the evidence clearly, arrest the person directly when there is evidence, and then the court will conduct a public trial. It will be severely handled!" Zhang Jing confessed.

Niu Jinda was very satisfied with the prince's decisiveness.

Although he sometimes thought that the prince was too young, since the Eastern Expedition, the prince was still very able to listen to advice and accept advice. Looking at the orders he issued, they were very generous.

Dahua's offensive in Baekje is like a tide and has a strong momentum.

The Dahua Army maintained excellent military discipline in Baekje, and the Dahua Army also maintained high combat effectiveness, and no one complained.

Dahua's rule over the occupied areas was very successful.

Everything made Lao Niu highly appreciate the prince.

It turns out that a tiger father has no dog son.

For Baekje, if Lao Niu was the leader himself, he thought that the countermeasure would be much simpler and more crude. He directly started killing the officials and nobles of Baekje to a group, and then sent the rest to the Central Plains, and their property and land were confiscated.

After the upper class was washed away, the people of Baekje were comforted and new tax laws were promulgated. With the help of both kindness and power, Dahua's occupation of Baekje will definitely be solid.

But now, looking at the prince's behavior, it is different.
