The taxes that the herdsmen on the grasslands have to pay are different from those of the people in the Central Plains.
In the Central Plains, ordinary people, besides the individual tax and labor duties, only have the land rent of Koufen Fields, which is forty to one, not very burdensome.
Even in places like Qili Village, where there are more mountains than cultivable land, Koufen Fields are often allocated as uncultivable mountains. But when Yongye Fields are full, paying the forty to one tax on Koufen Fields isn't that hard to accept.
Moreover, Luojiang County has always been poor, but the past three county magistrates have been quite decent, knowing that Koufen Fields are mostly mountains and do not generate income. Thus, the baseline was not set high, and forty to one isn't much. In comparison, the individual tax is somewhat higher.
