Not just that.They are among the previous state taxes.They are not taxed.That's all.It will leave them with a lot of expenses.and.The nobility enjoyed various privileges.such rights.Naturally make them rich.And the people are getting poorer and poorer.
In the face of such a state of Chu.The Qin people formulated a tax collection plan.The first is to tax the wealthiest nobles.And it is levied according to the most stringent tax standards.
The Qin people decided to adopt the method of accumulative tax collection.And ask the other party to declare their property in this way.According to the amount of property.Specify some stalls.After surpassing a certain gear.Taxation is then carried out according to the next gear.Thus.Nobles with more wealth will pay more taxes.This is almost squeezing out the other party's wealth.
This is nobility.For businessmen.Especially those that rely on merchant ships to sail.Qin Guo Bank thinks.They should be as lenient as possible.A tax of five points is enough for them.This can greatly stimulate them to sail.But before that.They have to register passing merchant ships.register.It's not just about paying taxes.more importantly.Also good for management.Especially to prevent the passing of pirate ships.The Qin people found out.Most of Chu's ships have no names.Thus.Double taxation is prone to occur in the payment of taxes.Registration can prevent this from happening.and.It is convenient for the management on the merchant ships of Chu State.After all, this is something within the purview of Chu's navy management.
Businessmen are a special group.And those farmers.Or a craftsman.Their abilities are also relatively weak.Repeatedly taxing heavy taxes.Seriously damaged the interests of these people.
To this.Qin people think.They should be protected.Let them recover first.Only in this way.In order to expand more room for taxation.To this.Among the tax cases formulated by the people of Qin.These people are included in the scope of not paying taxes.Thus.Their burden is much easier.In order to allow them to recover more quickly.Then increase their purchasing power.This is of great benefit to Qin's products to open up the market.
This tax bill is good for most people.And it is bad news for the nobles.They didn't have to pay taxes.There are now quite heavy taxes to pay.This is not good news.They have to pay taxes.Never before.
1480 Soldiers Approaching the City
The tax case of the Qin people is extremely enlightened.advanced.Because he guarantees most of the benefits.The hit is.Those monopolies are the main resistance that society cannot move forward.This is for the social development of Chu State.is of great positive significance.
What Xiang Yan considered was the development of Chu's navy.in such a need.The Chu State Navy implemented such a tax case.Because of this time.Only nobles have that much money.Tax the common people.Doesn't look that reliable.
"Push quickly. Push quickly." A Chu army artillery commander waved his arm.Instructing his men to push the cannon onto a high ground.At this time, they have already advanced to the heart of Qi State.Linzi.
"In front is Linzi." A general of the Chu army saw it with a telescope in his hand.
"Yes." A Chu army officer replied.
"We have finally arrived here." General Chu Jun said.
The officer didn't answer.Instead, the price is considered too high.along the way.Sporadic resistance by guerrillas.Make them feel very tired.In addition, the logistics supply is not very smooth.This makes it less enjoyable for them to move forward.
The main force of the Qi army is on the eastern front.The Qi army on the western front was unable to organize effective resistance.Whether it's from weaponry.Personnel or logistical supplies.They all lack enough strength to fight against another army of the Chu army.
And along the way.The Qi army could only organize extremely limited resistance.on frontal resistance.The main force of the Qi army could not resist the blow from the opponent's shelling.Every time the Chu army encountered resistance.A large-scale bombardment will inevitably be implemented.Under such bombardment.The Qi army could only suffer huge losses.In addition to these.The Qi army could only organize some sporadic guerrilla operations.They can only hope that such guerrilla warfare can delay the opponent's attack.Maybe that would buy enough time.
"There is only a small section of the city wall in Linzi City. I believe it will not take long. We will be able to capture and capture Linzi. Eat in Linzi City." General Chu Jun said excitedly.in his telescope.He saw such a scene.The city wall of Linzi in Qi State was erected intermittently on the periphery.And on the city wall.There are no soldiers on defense.Linzi without any city defense fortifications.In his opinion.Just one shot of artillery.Then his men launched an attack.can be won.
General Chu Jun thought excitedly.Just one attack.The Chu army will be able to occupy Linzi.Completely destroy Qi.The war is over.
Inside the city of Linzi.The news of Chu Jun's call spread quickly.
but.The people in the city seemed shocked at this moment.They did not scatter in all directions.Instead, it helped the retreating Qi army build fortifications.Do something that you can do yourself.And these people are doing it spontaneously.This is very unexpected.
"Quickly dig." The retreating Qi army was digging fortifications outside the city wall.Only dig down.In order to avoid the attack of those artillery.And the shells cannot hit their own people.
"Why didn't these people run away? Instead, they repaired fortifications for us." A second-class soldier of the Qi Army said with a shovel in his hand.
"The people of Qi are almost being killed by the people of Chu. They want to eat the flesh of the people of Chu and suck the marrow of the people of Chu dry. Do you think they should come or not?" said a veteran sergeant who kept shoveling the soil. .Those who can survive are soldiers with rich combat experience.It can be said.The combat power of the Qi army has been tested by blood.
"That's right." The Qi army's second-class soldier rubbed his red eyes and said.Then continue to shovel.Speaking up.It's all history of blood and tears.The atrocities of the Chu army made the people of Qi who had been on the sidelines quickly stand by the Qi army.Resolutely resist the attack of the Chu army.
Sporadic guerrilla warfare.The logistics of the Chu army.And exhausted the Chu army in the marching state.And the exhausted Chu army was in order to get food.Or in revenge.They dared to commit violence against all Qi people.They desperately robbed all the Qi people of food.If resist.Just shoot and kill them.In the cold winter.They also set fire to every village they could see.areas along the way.All turned into a piece of scorched earth.There are dead bodies everywhere.They killed everyone in Qi.Think that's the only way.Only people in the state of Qi knew how powerful the Chu army was.So tragedies continued to happen.Survivors dictated what they had seen and heard.And some Qi people continue to suffer from such disasters.Update as soon as possible. Some Qi people began to flee.And more Qi people decided to fight to the death with Chu.The determination of revenge is more firm.
"Chu people are calling." A noble and junior officer rushed in to report in a panic.
"What?" a doorman exclaimed in surprise.
"People from the state of Chu. People from the state of Chu are calling. They have already arrived at the city of Linzi." The noble officer said in a panic.
"This. How to do this." A nobleman said while looking at the officer with stiff hands.
There is no city defense in Linzi at all.In their view.Only the city walls of Linzi could make them feel a little bit safer.And this time.Linzi in Qi State has no city walls at all.The first time to update that is.Linzi does not have any fortifications.And there are not many people.The entire city of Linzi was in ruins.How to resist.It has become a problem that the nobles worry about.
"What should I do?" The officials and nobles present discussed one after another.In their view.The Chu people can easily take Linzi.And some nobles dragged silently.Said there was no way.
"I still have something to do. I'll take my leave first." A nobleman heard the news.quickly left.
"Ah. I'm leaving too." An official was also leaving at this time.
"Farewell. Farewell." More and more nobles and officials left at this time.Everyone understands it very well.What is their reason for leaving.They are going back to gather their wealth.Then quickly fled Linzi.Because obviously.The Chu army came in.their property.Wives and concubines are not guaranteed.This time is the best time to grab time to defend their wealth.
"Aim." The Artillery of the Upper Chu Army on the high ground has completed the artillery arrangement.The number of artillery pieces is not too much.There are only about twenty doors.Because of the road.The artillery of the Chu army followed up relatively late.There are also a large number of artillery following behind.This is only the artillery unit of the vanguard.
"Let go." A gunner shouted loudly.
"Boom." There was a loud noise.The shells were fired quickly.
"Boom. Boom. Boom." Then several artillery pieces next to them fired continuously.Update as soon as possible
"Whoosh." The shells roared.
"Chu's artillery attack. Hide. Hide." After the soldiers of the Qi army heard the sound of the rumbling artillery.Quickly dodged.Some veterans dragged in the civilians working on the fortifications.Pressed into the fortification.
"Everyone hide. Hide." The veteran shouted anxiously.
"Boom." There was the sound of a cannonball exploding.The shell hit the corner of the city wall.Several civilians were killed.
"Hurry up." The veteran had no time to think about this.You can only grab one by one and push the opponent into the trench.
"Whoosh." The shells whizzed at this time.Keep shooting.Let more unprepared civilians be hurt.The Qi army could only drag as many of them into the trenches as possible to avoid.
"Boom. Boom." The sound of rumbling cannons continued.The entire city of Linzi fell into a roar.
In the mansion of the nobleman.
"Hurry up. Hurry up. The Chu people are coming in." A nobleman shouted anxiously.
"I don't want this one. Hurry up and get something valuable. Hurry up." The nobleman shouted anxiously at this time.Then he quickly threw the bronze vessel in the hands of a servant on the ground.Let that servant get the valuables.Bronze is too heavy.There is simply no way to take it away.And it takes up a lot of space.
"Boom." When the sound of the cannon came.The nobles became even more anxious.Because this shows that the Chu people are launching an attack.
"Hurry up." The noble didn't evade at all and asked his own people to pack up their property.
At this time, Linzi City had not yet been encircled.Only the vanguard of the Chu army arrived.After they arrived at the city of Linzi.Eager to attack.think.People from Linzi in Qi State only need to come here for a while.can be won.then.They attack no matter what.Because Linzi will be easily won.along the way.The resistance of the Qi army was very weak.
The arrival of the vanguard of the Chu army.It is simply unable to surround such a large city of Linzi.so.The hope of nobles escaping from Linzi City is still there.The follow-up troops of the Chu army did not arrive.Wait until the follow-up troops arrive.Encirclement is only a matter of time.
Zhao State Handan.
"In this way, my country of Zhao is in danger." Young Master Zhao Jia said anxiously.
"Young master." A doorman said worriedly.
"At this moment, only the nobles of the state of Zhao take the initiative to pay taxes. This crisis can be resolved." The disciples took the initiative to put forward their own views.
"Nobles pay taxes." Young Master Zhao Jia asked at this time.
"Yes. The nobles pay taxes. The people have lost their balance. The only way to restore the balance is this." The doorman said at this time.
"This." Young Master Zhao Jia hesitated and frowned.Obviously.If the nobles pay taxes.It is their own interests that are harmed.And this practice of harming one's own interests.Obviously something is not advisable.After all, son Zhao Jia is also a nobleman.
