Ancient immigrants were poor.

Although farmers are poor, how can the country carry out a series of things without taxes? Who will support the court minister? So many generals and soldiers are defending their country, and they have to eat and pay. There are also some public facilities to be built in various places, which also need money.

No matter how poor a country is, there are still many things to do. Money comes from the people, and the state has set up many tax items, so as long as it is related to the project, it needs to pay taxes. Farmers need to pay agricultural taxes for farming, and they are poor and have little income, so they pay less. This is a national regulation and an obligation of every citizen, which has nothing to do with the rich and the poor.

If you meet a wise king and understand the hardships of the people's lives, you will appropriately reduce taxes and let the people pay less or no taxes. There is a word called exorbitant taxes. In some dynasties, people lived so hard because they had to pay too many taxes! There are many kinds of scattered goods, and the income earned by people in farming for one month is not enough to pay taxes.

If we encounter corrupt officials again, forcibly oppress the people and increase taxes and interests, the life of the people will be even worse. In ancient times, men and women got married very early, which followed the law at that time. If a woman is too old to get married, she must pay taxes.

What is this tax? Single fee? Now we often say that being single is innocent. In the past, being single was a crime. If you are unmarried and single, you have to pay taxes and fees every year. The older you get, the more you pay. Those who are not married over the age of 20 pay more than five times the tax of ordinary people!

I can't afford this, so my old parents married off their daughter long ago. On the one hand, I am worried that I can't afford taxes and fees when I am old, which will drag down the whole family. In some dynasties, women were engaged at the age of 13 and married at the age of 15.
