Abolish the counting tax and collect taxes on land...
This is just a simple sentence, but if the court really implements this method, I don’t know how many people will die because of this sentence and how much price it will cost. The Ministry of Revenue will not be able to bear the blame.
Qian Shuo stood up and cursed the two little foxes Tang Ning and King Huai in his heart. They were unwilling to cause trouble, so they threw the blame to the Ministry of Revenue. He could not afford to be guilty of either of these two people...
He took the note and walked in the hall. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and walked out of the Ministry of Revenue with great strides.
After a while, the Shangshu City
Qian Shuo handed a note to Wang Xiang and said: The Marquis of Dingguo and King Huai sent a note, and Wang Xiang needed to sign and arrest him.
Wang Xiang was looking up the memorial. Hearing this, he put down the memorial in his hand, picked up the memorial, and habitually picked up the seal. Just as he was about to put it on the memorial, he suddenly stopped, picked up the memorial, and looked at it carefully.
After a while, he took back the seal and handed it back to Qian Shuo, saying: This is the matter of the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue will make the decision on its own, and there is no need for the Secretariat to use the seal.
Qian Shuo cursed in his heart. The old fox showed a smile on his face and said: This matter..., the Ministry of Revenue is afraid it is difficult to make decisions.
Wang Xiang stood up and said: I suddenly remembered that there are still some things to deal with. Since the Ministry of Revenue cannot make a decision, it is better for Lord Qian to ask His Majesty directly...
Seeing Wang Xiang hurriedly walk out of Shangshu Dusheng, Qian Shuo sighed. The little fox and old fox didn't want to be involved in this matter, and the Ministry of Revenue did not take the blame for it. He picked up the sealed note again, walked out of Shangshu Dusheng, and walked towards the imperial study room.
Not long after, in the imperial study, Chen Huang held the fold in his hand, and a trace of intent appeared on his face.
If the tax silver is levied according to the land, the silver collected by the treasury every year will be dozens or hundreds of times as many as before, and it will probably overflow. Even he can't imagine that kind of situation.
But he knew in his heart that this was just his fantasy
If we say that the tax system is to pluck the hairs of the gentry and the subvert the tax system is to cut off the flesh on them, and pay dozens or hundreds of times more taxes every year, it is necessary for the world to be in chaos.
This is a more serious thing than the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River and the chaos in the northwest. If you are not careful, the Chen Kingdom will completely become history
He put down the memorial and said: Summon Tangning and King Huai into the palace
See the Father
See Your Majesty
Tang Ning and King Huai walked into the imperial study room and bowed to Emperor Chen at the same time
Emperor Chen shook the memorial in his hand and asked: Whose idea is this?
King Huai glanced at Tang Ning and said: It was Lord Tang’s idea.
Chen Huang looked down and asked: Whose idea is to let the Ministry of Revenue announce this?
Tang Ning looked at King Huai and said: It's His Highness King Huai
You two have a good plan. Chen Huang glanced at them and said: Are you planning to use this trick to scare them first, and then take a step back to encourage them to accept the issue of streamlining the tax system?
Your Majesty is very clear
The father's eyes are as sharp as a torch
……
The idea is a good idea. Emperor Chen looked at them and said: But you also know that this matter is very sensitive. This matter is very important. If you are not careful, it will cause a disaster.
Tang Ning clasped his fists and said: Wealth and honor are in danger. If this matter can be accomplished, the treasury will add a large amount of input every year, and taxes will be levied more than half. This is the best of both worlds.
King Huai bowed and said: If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you get a tiger’s son? The cumbersome and vague tax system has caused some people to complain. In the long run, there will be great conflicts between the people and the court. At that time, it will be impossible to streamline the tax system.
Emperor Chen did not speak again, but thought seriously about the two of them.
As an emperor, he must set a balance between the people and the gentry and the powerful. While ensuring the interests of the court, he must not make the people dissatisfied or resentful. These two are contradictory
Now that Chen State is relatively stable, the conflict between the people and the gentry is not fierce. Although the court does not have to be afraid of these gentry and wealthy families, there is no need to offend them to death. Tang Ning and King Huai’s joint proposal is a perfect compromise method.
After a while, he looked at the two of them and said: I agree to this matter. You two cooperate with each other, pay attention to the standards, go ahead.
Retreat
The son's resignation
……
Seeing Tang Ning and King Huai go out, Emperor Chen has a strange face and said: They will certainly not disappoint me...
As a young generation in the court, Tang Ning and King Huai have always been indifferent to their work. Tang Ning often goes out of Beijing to carry out secret missions. During his absence, some things he is not at ease to hand over to others were handed over to King Huai, and neither King Huai nor Tang Ning have ever disappointed him
The cooperation between the two is even more perfect. This matter is very important. If you are not careful, you will cause a big mess. Only when they combine the two swords can he feel completely at ease.
……
One day in October, the early people accidentally discovered a notice posted in front of the palace gate.
Generally speaking, things posted on the wall of the palace must be a major event, such as King Kang was deposed, the prince ascended the throne, or the court promulgated a law related to national economy and people's livelihood? I don't know what was written in today's notice.
Someone came closer to watch the fun, but didn't know what was written on it. He hurriedly pulled a passing Confucian scholar to ask. After asking, he realized that the court was collecting opinions on tax laws. The people could write their opinions and suggestions on this law on paper and throw them into the big box under the city wall. It doesn't matter if they can't write. Under the city wall, there are more than ten minor officials who can write on their behalf.
After learning about the content of the tax law, many people were shocked and speechless.
According to the rule of tax collection for heads, it has not changed from ancient times to the present. Many people are tenants and have to pay taxes without land. However, the gentry and powerful people who have a lot of land do not have to pay much. In addition to paying rent, the people will have a good harvest. Once there is a disaster, they will inevitably be unable to make ends meet and their lives will be difficult to survive.
If this tax law can be implemented, the burden on the people will be reduced by at least half. Correspondingly, the gentry and tycoons who own a large amount of land will have to bear the unprecedented pain of cutting their flesh.
For a moment, some people in Beijing were happy and some were worried, and in a very short time, they were completely boiling.
In the western city of the capital, Tang Qi looked at the notice posted on the street and couldn't believe it: Is the imperial court crazy? Do you want to be enemies with the gentry and tyrants all over the world?
Tang Zhao shook his head and said: Your Majesty is not stupid. He adds taxes to those people for no reason. If you think about it a little, you will know that his purpose is not here.
Tang Qi said suspiciously: If you are not here, where is that?
Tang Zhao said: Didn’t the imperial court clamor for streamlining the tax laws and removing excess taxes a few days ago? There was no movement these days. Your Majesty’s purpose might be here.
Tang Qi frowned and said: Make it clear
Tang Zhao looked at him, shook his head helplessly and said: For example, for example, the apples on the street are sold for ten cents per pound. If you want to buy them for five cents, you can bid for one penny first. The vendor selling apples will definitely not agree, but it may reduce the price to nine pennies. If you increase the price by two pennies, he will reduce it to eight pennies. In this way, you may buy apples at five pennies per pound in the end. Although you bid for one pennies for the first time, you have never thought that you would pay at this price.
Tang Qi looked at him and said: What you mean is that Your Majesty knows that these people will not agree, he just wants to take a step back and let them agree to streamline the tax law...
That's about that. Tang Zhao nodded, looked at the vendor selling apples and asked: How to sell this apple?
The vendor said: Ten cents per pound
Tang Zhao asked: Should I sell a piece of paper?
The vendor glanced at him and said: Get out!
This is just a simple sentence, but if the court really implements this method, I don’t know how many people will die because of this sentence and how much price it will cost. The Ministry of Revenue will not be able to bear the blame.
Qian Shuo stood up and cursed the two little foxes Tang Ning and King Huai in his heart. They were unwilling to cause trouble, so they threw the blame to the Ministry of Revenue. He could not afford to be guilty of either of these two people...
