Chapter 681 Two Silver Law 2
The poll tax was abolished and added to the fields, and grain was no longer used as the main body of taxation, but was converted into silver money, and completely commercialized operation. 『』
Since the Great Song Dynasty, agriculture has not been an advantage in the economy, and the proportion of industry and commerce and overseas trade has been more than half. Once the two laws are implemented, the status of agriculture will be weakened even more, stimulating the explosion of industry and commerce.
Of course, the weakening is a relative weakening, and the proportion of agriculture in the entire economy is still huge, but the monetization of grain and the population is also monetized, and the amount of land occupied is used as the basis for taxation, which is relatively much fairer and much simpler to operate.
It is strictly stipulated that the current price of silver is levied at the rate of 30 taxes per mu of output, which means that it is possible to pay less or not pay at all in disaster years, and this is very preferential treatment for the peasants.
The most fundamental goal is to lay a hammer for Wang Xiu to implement the policy of the silver standard or even the gold standard, and now that he has a bank and has also issued war bonds, what is lacking is how to issue currency with gold and silver as reserves, and how to develop a regional transaction certificate such as Jiaozi into a national monetary unit, which has a long way to go
The implementation of the two laws made the eyes of some junjie shine, and also aroused the vigilance of many people, who closely watched the movements of the imperial court and began to prepare coping strategies.
Of course, those who own a lot of land are very nervous, the poll tax is added to the acre, the grain is monetized, and the more land you have, the more money you pay.
Li Gang seemed to be very excited, and said loudly: "Okay, I think it should have been implemented a long time ago, the Ding Mu Law and the Silver Mu Law are very fair to the people, and Chengdu Fulu is appropriately beneficial." ”
Wang Xiu's attitude towards Li Gang is not surprising, this guy is definitely a representative of the people's livelihood faction, as long as it is beneficial to enhance the national strength and can support the needs of the Northern Expedition, he will gladly approve of it, or it would be strange if he didn't support it.
The corners of Tang Ge's mouth twitched, his eyes flashed, he was not a fool, he immediately grasped the crux of the problem, and pouted: "I'm afraid that the Datian producers are going to be aggrieved again." ”
"No one is aggrieved, that's a strange thing, Lord Tang rest assured, as long as the two governments hold on and give Chengdu Mansion Road three years, it will definitely give the court and the world a surprise." Wang Xiu cheered for Tang Ge, but another layer of worry rose in his heart.
The implementation of the Ding Mu Law will inevitably lead to a blowout of the population, followed by a series of social problems, the most serious of which is the contradiction between population growth and grain production, and if it is not handled well, it will definitely lead to social turmoil.
Managing the South China Sea, improving crops, and promoting equality have become major issues that must be resolved, and must definitely be listed as a national policy.
It is possible to improve crops on a small scale, but if it is a project like hybrid rice, he also shakes his head. The only solution for the present is to manage the South China Sea, open up the Age of Discovery, discover the New World before the population explodes, and introduce high-yield crops and immigrants.
"It is beneficial to the country and the people, they still dare to say that they have thousands of hectares of fertile land, sit on beautiful wives and concubines, and one meal can feed and feed hundreds of people for a year, and they cry poor all day long. As soon as the imperial court does something beneficial to the people, it will obstruct it in every possible way, and it will be full of ugliness. Li Gang said indignantly, he was very disgusted with those corrupt riches.
Tang Ge's face was embarrassed, and he said weakly: "Good things are grinding, I think Chengdu Fu Road has implemented two laws, and some military states of Huainan and Jiangnan Fourth Road have implemented industrial and commercial improvements. ”
Wang Xiu raised his eyebrows, a second-class road and a fourth-class part of the military state, which is unsatisfactory, but it is always a good start.
He didn't want to talk more about internal affairs, as long as the two governments set a big tone, someone would naturally implement it, and the core person must be the person he identified, and he said: "Recently, the captives have become more and more lively, and Master Li has a coping strategy"
With the continuous transmission of information from the envoys of the Speed Division, although the imperial court could not say everything about the movements of the Jurchens, it could be regarded as knowing very well.
Li Gang's eyes lit up, obviously knowing that Wu Qimai died of illness and the power vacuum of the Jurchen chieftains, he said excitedly: "The captives are fighting in the nest, we don't have to be polite, let them be as chaotic as possible, and take the opportunity to recover Hebei and Hedong." ”
Wang Xiu affirmed Li Gang's excitement, this old guy is not confused, but it seems a little too radical to take the opportunity to recover Hedong in Hebei.
Now the historical trend has been chaotic, originally the search for mountains and seas is to sweep the two Zhejiang Road, completely take the two Beijing and Shaanxi. Now Jin Jun didn't even see Dajiang, and the status of the tart lazy will rise, and he will only be taken down if he becomes the marshal of the capital, and he is a little uncertain about participating in the infighting too early in the position of the right deputy marshal.
However, as the war continued, the Jin army suffered setbacks on the battlefield one after another, which made many generals realize the changes in shape, and with the small batch test of new equipment, they began to have a new understanding of the north-south pattern.
The army gradually had the idea of despising the Jin army, thinking that the Jin army was not enough, and the Great Song Forbidden Army was fully capable of fighting a war, and even the very cautious generals believed that with the improvement of new weapons, the Ma army gradually lost its advantage.
Does Wang Xiu agree with the theory of weapons, the development of firearms, sooner or later the cavalry will be eliminated, so that the forbidden army will have a revolutionary change. However, this development is slow, and he does not think that he can see it, and the power of the Ma army is still the same, and the idea of underestimating the enemy cannot be tolerated.
Tang Ge saw that Wang Xiu was a little stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Lord Wang, what do you think is good?" In all fairness, he also hoped that the Jurchens would have internal friction and the imperial court would regain the lost territory.
Wang Xiu shook his head, suppressed his strange thoughts, and said wittily: "Wait and see, it's good to let them mess up, and give us some time." ”
Li Gang frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but finally did not speak.
"The two adults are sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, and with our speed envoys, I think they will be even more exciting." Wang Xiu doesn't want to talk about reconquest, at least not now, what he wants is to stabilize the development environment and use a lot of resources to develop the economy.
Without strong economic support, a strong army can only be an empty word, and enriching the people is even more nonsense, not even a fart.
Upper Beijing
The lazy letter was read out by the internal officials, causing an uproar among the noble chiefs, some resolutely opposed, some ambiguous, and more people remained silent.
When he entered the main hall, he found that the Wushu did not come, and the Wushu told him that the Wushu occasionally felt a cold and was lying in bed in the mansion, which made him a little disappointed, and according to the plan of the Wushu Temple, he wanted to force the Wushu to make a statement.
However, if he didn't take a shower and die of a cold, he didn't want to ask too much, don't be caught.
If you are present, you will definitely notice that something is wrong, you will not get sick sooner or later, but you will get sick at the end of the day, and you will deceive the ghost
There were almost all the important royal families in Shangjing, including the third-generation outstanding figures of the Jurchen Wanyan clan such as Sailiben, Zhenzhu, and Xianbao, as well as the second-generation important ministers such as the powerful Zhuben and the Wumu.
The guards were not able to restrain themselves, and Sagai was holding a knife on the side, and his face was cold, which made people feel particularly depressed
