Chapter 402: Her Method
Regarding the matter of Jiangnan, as early as when Wang Jiqing returned to Jiangzhou, he made plans. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that Li Yuanche hadn't ascended the throne as emperor that day, and the time was not ripe enough, so it was naturally inconvenient for her to make big moves.
But at this time, seeing that the state apparatus has been operating in an orderly manner, of course Wang Jiqing doesn't have to worry too much.
Moreover, at this time, she had a child in her womb, but it provided a good opportunity for this matter.
"Prime Minister," Wang Ji leaned lightly into her husband's arms, and the indifferent smile on her face had long been replaced by happiness.
"Now that I'm pregnant, can I get my taxes reduced?" She carefully reached out and stroked her lower abdomen, with a gentle face.
Although this child came suddenly, at this time, it seemed that it was just right.
When Mr. Fuyama and the others heard this, they were stunned.
After a few breaths, several people glanced at each other, but they all nodded.
As the first child of the emperor, the imperial court can of course reduce some taxes in order to celebrate the arrival of this child.
"I wonder if Your Majesty and Niangniang want to reduce taxes for a few years?" Naturally, Yang Zhihe, the head of the household department who was in charge of the money and grain of the imperial court, came to ask.
It's just that as soon as Yang Zhihe's words fell, Li Yuanche frowned.
This is good for the sake of the children's blessings and tax reductions. It's just that I'm afraid this is not my wife's intention.
Gentle temperament, he naturally knows. But it was because he knew that Li Yuanche was even more worried.
It is already very hard for my wife to be pregnant, and if I have to worry about the affairs of the court at this time, I am afraid that I will hurt my body.
Doctor Zhang also said that a pregnant woman needs to rest well, and the most taboo thing is to consume her mind.
Besides, Hui is extremely vulnerable. Li Yuanche was really worried.
So, as soon as Yang Zhihe's words fell, Li Yuanche took the lead in looking at his wife in his arms.
"Gently, I'll discuss the matter of tax reduction with a few adults. You better go back to the apse and rest. ”
He couldn't bear to let his wife have to work so hard at this time.
Li Yuanche's thoughtfulness made Wang Ji smile and squint her eyes.
She was naturally touched by her husband's tender love; She also knows her husband's worries.
It's just that some things really don't wait for anyone. Besides, now she is only more than two months pregnant, and the months are not big, so it doesn't hurt to do something.
"Ah Che, I'm fine." Wang Ji smiled at her husband and shook her head, before turning her head to look at the several important ministers of the court.
"Lord Yang," Wang Jiqing's face was serious, "this palace does not want to reduce the taxes of ordinary people for a few years, but wants to reduce them permanently. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the rest of the temple looked up in surprise.
Permanent meeting tax? How can this be!
If the imperial court did not have the income from these taxes, how would it function? Once the treasury is empty, I am afraid that chaos will soon ensue.
After a few breaths, it was Li Yuanche who took the lead in opening his mouth.
"Gently, you want to reform taxes?" In the end, it was Wang Xiqing's pillow person, and the words of ordinary people in his wife's mouth, Li Yuanche heard them very clearly.
Since the wife deliberately proposed ordinary people, it is obvious that she wants to revise the current tax policy.
"Yes." Wang Ji nodded lightly and continued. "I would like to change the current tax to a tiered one, especially the field tax. For example, ordinary people whose land is less than a certain amount can not be collected; and he that hath more land reaps more......"
Li Yuanche looked at his wife, although she was a little pale, but she was still confident in changing her hair, and she couldn't help but feel arrogant.
This is his wife, his wife Li Yuanche!
After Wang Ji finished speaking, several adults in the court couldn't help but look at each other with complicated expressions.
Although it was the first time for several people to hear about this step-by-step tax method, they all saw the benefits and feasibility of this method.
If this reform can be successful, then the ordinary people of the world will be able to avoid some of the harsh taxes and recuperate.
And those Jiangnan wealthy families who hold a lot of land will naturally pay more taxes for the land they collect, so that the treasury will not be too empty.
What's more, in the face of such a tax method, I am afraid that those wealthy families will also want to divide the land in their hands and use it to escape the taxes of the imperial court.
In this way, those big families will inevitably split.
And as we all know, a big family, as long as it begins to separate, will inevitably decline.
After all, who would willingly return the land that has been distributed to someone else? Moreover, after a few generations, when everyone's kinship relationship becomes weaker and weaker, it will be more difficult to maintain such a large family.
And once Jiangnan loses those big families, it will be much easier for the imperial court to rectify the land in Jiangnan.
At this time, several people in the hall were smart people, so they could naturally see the cleverness of Wang Jiqing's method.
It's just that the big families in Jiangnan are probably not stupid people. What they can see, those people can naturally see.
"Queen," Mr. Fushiyama said again, with some solemnity in his excitement. "Your method is naturally good, but I'm afraid that it will be a little difficult to implement it in Jiangnan."
It is conceivable that once such a talent policy is promulgated, it will inevitably cause a rebellion from those big families in the land south of the Yangtze River.
When the time comes, won't the world, which has just been calmed down, be in chaos again?
Obviously, this is not what Mr. Fushiyama and others want to see.
Wang Jiqing naturally knew everyone's concerns, so she would mention it at this time.
"Your Excellency," she glanced down at her lower abdomen before she said calmly, "That's why this palace wants to propose this method at this time." You see......"
First, by taking advantage of the joy of the arrival of the child in her womb, the land and the people can be apportioned, which can not only win the hearts of the people, but also make the new dynasty more prestigious.
Second, at this time, when the Tang Dynasty was just established, it was the time when the soldiers were strong and strong, and with a strong force of deterrence, they could better serve the New Deal.
Third, his two brothers were originally born in the Wang family in Jiangnan, and if the two of them recognized the general soldiers of Jiangnan Province and Huguang Province, they would be able to be like fish in water.
Fourth, I have prepared some other methods that can distract the attention of those wealthy families, and I think it can also play some role.
In the end, I still have the title deed of tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land left to me by my grandmother, and if I make a breakthrough from this, I can naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
Wang Ji lightly said his plan, and seeing that everyone had not come back to his senses, he smiled again before continuing.
"Naturally, this palace just proposed a rough method, and this specific operation is indeed going to be hard for all adults."
For example, the specific division of this ladder, the specific collection of taxes, the detailed rules of how to implement it, etc., Wang Jiqing cannot be estimated.
Naturally, these things can only be done by the pillars of these countries. (To be continued.) )
