864. Chapter 864 The Two Silver Law was successfully tried
It must be said that Wang Xiu let Ouyang Che take charge alone, and he was indeed discerning, even Zhong Lirui did not know the big town, and he had the opportunity to become a minister, and he was only released for one term, and before the term of office expired, he was transferred back to fight the fire. 『』【大學包novel网手机版m.dashubao】
You must know that in just eight years, Ouyang Che has not even had experience in a big county, and has been serving as a literary courtier in the imperial court, so he went directly out of Chengdu Mansion, and also served as the Lu Cao Division of Chengdu Mansion, which caused great criticism, and Bole definitely can't do it if he doesn't have a little courage.
Ouyang Che did not live up to Wang Xiu's hopes, he fully showed his talent, established his authority as soon as he took office, starting with the villagers and a certain bully, a dazzling means, both grace and power, and followed the vine to touch the melon, and hit a group of stubborn forces, but he stopped it appropriately and well, did not cause a big backlash, and initially opened the way.
Then, he was not in a hurry to implement it on a large scale, but started with the land of the small people in the countryside, so that the small people could taste the sweetness, after all, the body money was canceled, so that people had a large amount of money left, and they didn't have to waste money when they had children and daughters.
Don't underestimate the little money every year, everyone is messy together, and there are 300 Wen a year, and it is definitely a lot of money for a family to have a few people.
After a period of time, he suddenly broke out and openly announced the cancellation of the Chengdu Fulu branch. This is a big deal, which is equivalent to giving everyone great benefits, don't be surprised by ordinary people, even big families are happy.
It's very simple to do the transfer, that is, the taxes paid every year, the government has the final say, and you will be assigned to pay money and goods to a certain place.
For example, if the farmer grows crops, he can only pay for grain, and the government has to ask you to pay the money, and you have to exchange the grain for money to pay.
Even if you are a businessman, you are not afraid of money, so good. If you are a grain merchant, I will ask you to pay silk, and it is better if you are the owner of the workshop, then pay japonica rice, anyway, there are many names, which is dazzling.
What's more, let you send the taxes you pay to the designated treasury, some of which need to be paid to the state, and the counties in the north have to be sent to the counties in the south, and the cost of the cars and boats on the road is by no means a small amount.
Even if you want to hire someone to hire a car to carry the food, it is a bit unlikely, and the public along the way can pick the bones in the eggs, so you can't go by yourself.
Since you can't go, it's easy to do, the government does it for you, as long as you pay the cost of foot power, carriage and horses, etc., you don't need to bother, and the government will politely serve you.
If you pay taxes worth the same amount of money, you will have to pay one or two official silver, and the cost of transportation on the road will cost a few hundred dollars, so you will have to give some extra money for tea. Oh, look at the money is always equal to the same two official silver, there are more cats in it, the common currency of the Great Song Dynasty is not silver, you have to convert it into copper coins or jiaozi, silver is expensive and cheap, you will be slashed with a layer of oil.
It can be said that the branch is outside the positive tax, the biggest exploitation name, more unpopular than those miscellaneous taxes, the people have repeatedly protested, but they are still acquiesced in by the imperial court to retain, because it allows the imperial court to earn three more layers of money, this is a great income, even if you rack your brains to fight, the most important thing for the Song Dynasty court is the elite with financial acumen, and the general people pay a certain price.
Therefore, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the officials who can open source have been promoted the fastest, that is, while shouting that Confucianism does not speak of profit, while holding an abacus to compete with the people for profit.
The reason why Ouyang Che dared to cancel the transfer was also supported by Wang Xiu, otherwise, he would not be able to open the situation with his great ability, this matter is equivalent to winning the hearts of the people in various states and counties, but he was hated to the bone by the local officials with vested interests.
The step-by-step method is equivalent to the countryside surrounding the city, and finally uniting all strata to deal a heavy blow to the bureaucratic and bureaucratic classes, and finally after impeaching and dismissing two governors and one county, and beheading more than 20 officials, the two silver laws were implemented all the way.
The introduction of the two silver laws, in addition to the preservation of the main goods purchase and sale taxes, there are also property inheritance taxes, and miscellaneous taxes such as rice consumption, science distribution, big buckets, and advances are all abolished, which does not touch the interests of many classes too much, but only makes the bureaucratic and official class, and some people who hide their land and property unhappy, but on the whole it is not excessive.
Of course, without Wang Xiu's resolute support and the social and economic development of the Great Song Dynasty, it would have been impossible to implement the Two Silver Laws, and it would have been impossible to even cancel those miscellaneous taxes.
Just because of the invasion of the Jurchens, it was too difficult to use the dynasty, and the era of Chengping in the world would not be reduced, not to mention the financial difficulties in the first few years of the southward migration.
Nowadays, the Great Song Dynasty passed guò ten years of recuperation, Sichuan, Jinghu, Jiangyou once again formed a troika, whether it is the improvement of the salt tea system, or the development of industry and mining, including the rapid development of maritime business, have given the imperial court sufficient wealth, Taifu, Hubu Treasury has increased significantly every year.
In other words, the Great Song Dynasty had enough money and solved most of the problems, and the era of raising military and development funds through guò and miscellaneous taxes was coming to an end, and the financial situation of the imperial court would be better, and there was no need for a development method that exhausted the fish.
If the economy of the Great Song Dynasty gradually recovered, but did not reach the level that Wang Xiu wanted, it was no longer necessary to exploit the people, but to transfer the object of exploitation from the country to Siyi.
It is worth mentioning that the ministers of the imperial court did not oppose Wang Xiu's plan.
It is also easy to understand that the vast majority of ministers are clamoring not to compete with the people, and they are happy to stop those exorbitant taxes when the financial situation is improving, which is something that can win a good reputation, why not support it
Chengdu Fuluzhou County officials, there are few people who disagree, according to common sense, they have received the greatest loss, not to mention those exorbitant taxes and exploitation, just one transfer, so that they have losses on both public and private sides, but there is no large-scale boycott, there are many reasons.
In fact, Wang Xiu sent a letter to Ouyang Che, saying very clearly, it was not the officials who benefited the most from excesses and miscellaneous taxes and exploitation, but the officials of those states and counties. A considerable amount of money goes into their pockets, or passes through them to the upper echelons, which is an invisible vested interest.
To deal with such a class, Wang Xiu has long been prepared, and the improvement of the economic situation in the Great Song Dynasty is the basis for solving the problem.
