Chapter 175: The minister really doesn't want to
Yan Chengjin came to the inn, and Emperor Hongzhi opened his mouth and said coldly: "The prince is also in Liangxiang?" ”
"Yes!"
"Call the prince too!"
After a while, Mu Bin walked back: "Listen to the report of my subordinates, as soon as the minister went out on the front foot, the prince returned to the palace on the back foot." ”
"......" Yan Chengjin.
Zhu Houzhao, you are a real chicken thief......
Counting his acquaintance, I went back to the palace to settle accounts with him, and Emperor Hongzhi's brows soothed: "Tell me what is going on with the spread of the acres into the mu." ”
Yan Chengjin said honestly: "It is to abolish all kinds of taxes that were previously added to the households, especially the taxes collected according to the per capita household, the displaced people get less land, but the population is quite large, if according to the old system, the displaced people have to pay a lot of taxes, if it is calculated according to the apportionment into the mu, no matter how large the number of people in a household, the taxes collected will not change, and the displaced people will really have surplus grain to save." ”
The Qing Dynasty vigorously promoted the tax law, which led to a significant increase in the population.
The amount of land in the family is the amount of tax paid, and it has nothing to do with the population of the family.
The Ming Dynasty implemented the Lijia system, which could make the vague demographic clear.
"Population and taxes are directly linked, and families with a large number of people can't afford to pay taxes, so they can only drag their families and abandon their fields and flee, which is the status quo of today's Ming Dynasty." Yan Chengjin secretly deduced.
The tax supervisor asked him to be withdrawn, and now it is completely supervised by Zhang Xian, as long as Zhang Xian is an upright person and does not be greedy for ink tax silver, it is feasible to spread the land into the mu in the good township.
There are also flaws in this law, that is, the concealment of land can avoid taxes, but there is no such problem in Liangxiang County, and the land is measured before it is distributed to the displaced people.
Before the implementation, Emperor Hongzhi asked if it was a good thing, saving him the officials he had impeached a few times before, and he grabbed to make a fuss.
Emperor Hongzhi fell into contemplation, and the reason is not difficult to understand, reducing the taxes of the displaced people, there will be more food, and the displaced people are willing to take root in the good country.
After thinking about it, Liu Jian asked: "If the tax is apportioned according to the per mu, can't it be easy to avoid taxes by concealing the report?" ”
Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang looked at Yan Chengjin.
Yan Chengjin said: "What Liu Gong said is very true, but the yamen knows the number of acres of land well, and the good township is a small land, which is simple to measure, and the law is strict. ”
This puts an end to most of the opportunistic behavior.
There are always ways to test the law, and this cannot be avoided no matter what.
Yan Chengjin glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, he had finished what he had to say, just waiting for him to nod.
In a land like Liangxiang, I don't expect to be able to collect the money.
Especially after seeing those displaced people, Emperor Hongzhi was moved by compassion and wanted to be lenient with them, and Emperor Hongzhi subconsciously asked: "How sure are you?" ”
Forehead?
"Your Majesty means?"
"Enforce this law to the whole world."
Li Dongyang, Liu Jian and the others trembled in shock, and Xiao Jing and Mu Bin raised their heads slightly.
Yan Chengjin was also quite surprised.
Emperor Hongzhi stared at him with straight eyes: "Don't tell me, you don't have this plan, what do you mean, my heart is like a mirror." ”
Your Majesty is really not as stupid as it is written in the historical materials......
I could see his mind at a glance.
Liangxiang's new law, he plans to implement the world, Yan Chengjin is light: "No, the minister doesn't want to implement the world at all." ”
Opening his eyes and talking nonsense, Emperor Hongzhi was furious: "Bold, you dare to bully the king!" ”
Yan Chengjin thought about turning around.
There are many prerequisites for spreading the acre.
The land obtained by the displaced people for nothing, this law is good for the people, and the court will say whatever it is, and it will not resist.
And there are few acres of land in Liangxiang, and it is convenient to check it.
To promote the world, the Ming Dynasty must shake the mountains and shake the earth.
I don't know how much the interests of the gentry and the ministers of the court and China will be hurt.
There may be ministers in the court who are bribed by King Ning, and they turn against each other, and if King Ning rebels, he will definitely respond to every call.
When the news is released, in terms of interests, he will be hostile to all the ministers of the DPRK and China, and I don't know how much firepower he will have to bear.
…… To be cautious, Yan Chengjin's acting skills are online again: "What Your Majesty says is what it is, and the minister does not dare to defend it." ”
I suddenly found that when I was cautious and nonsense, it was for the people of the world.
The atmosphere became silent.
"To be honest, this place is not a court."
"I really don't want to."
Emperor Hongzhi stood up, "Then let's try it in Liangxiang." ”
Transformation is an extremely difficult thing, and no one has been able to do it throughout the ages.
Li Dongyang's faces gradually softened, if His Majesty really insisted on moving the tax system, I don't know how many people would be impeached.
Some ministers have tens of thousands of hectares of land, and if they are divided evenly among the acres, they do not know how much silver they will have to pay.
Yan Chengjin and Zhang Xian hurriedly bowed: "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”
Shuntianfu sent scribes and officials to Liangxiang, although there were many people, statistics, measurement, painting fish scale atlas and other work, not a month can not be settled.
The homeless people still can't believe that there is such a good thing in the world.
and it will be allotted to the field.
And most importantly......
The allotted fields are still full of grain, waiting for their harvest.
They were glad that they did not flee to Jingxiang at that time, but came to Liangxiang.
"Before the winter, take the displaced people to build a new river and reclaim those abandoned fields, and His Majesty agrees to spread the land into acres and implement it in Liangxiang, which is the blessing of Liangxiang." Yan Chengjin was afraid that he would miss the season.
There are also barren fields in Liangxiang, which are uncultivated.
It's not high-class fertile land, and the scholars and doctors don't bother to occupy it.
These lands may not be considered high-quality fertile land, but as much as a good township can cultivate, it will earn as much as it can be cultivated.
"There is still surplus manpower in Liangxiang, the strong men have entered the workshop, and there are tens of thousands, old men, women and children like the Liangzhong family, the fields are distributed to them, and they are willing to work hard for themselves."
In the Ming Dynasty, men and women weave only in fairy tales, and women also have to work in the fields.
Zhang Xian knelt on the ground: "Xiaguan is for the people of Liangxiang, thank you!" ”
"The silver taels for the purchase of iron tools can be borrowed from the treasury of the Yamen, the ploughing cattle can be borrowed from the Shuntian Mansion, and the waterwheel can be built by craftsmen and Song Jing, these are not problems."
Checkpoints were set up on the official road from Liangxiang to the county, and caravans coming and going were required to pay silver taels according to the new law of Liangxiang.
The workshop in Liangxiang is almost Yan Chengjin, and he is a good law-abiding citizen, and he gives silver every time he crosses the checkpoint.
Zhang Xian immediately ordered someone to do it, and distributed the farm tools to the displaced people, and then deducted them from the field endowment, and strived to dredge all the canals in Liangxiang before the opening next year.
On the way back to Liangxiang,
Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have something to say, and Li Dongyang and Liu Jian followed behind.
"What do the three Qing families think about the implementation of the apportionment into the mu?" Emperor Hongzhi asked intentionally or unintentionally.
Liu Jianzi straightened and shook his head: "I don't want to." ”
Xie Qian hesitated for a moment and said bluntly: "The minister doesn't want to." ”
Li Dongyang did not speak.
"Why?"
Liu Jian said: "The minister has a lot of land at home, if according to the old system, there is no need to pay too much tax, if according to the new system, the tax may increase to several times." ”
He and Xie Qian's family had a lot of land, and His Majesty asked not about them, but about the gentry of the world.
Emperor Hongzhi seemed to turn a deaf ear and looked at the passing carriage and horse caravans: "Let Shuntianfu add a sub-patrol road on the official road, don't let the bandits take advantage of the loopholes." ”
