For the first time, Han Jiang discovered that the weak Xu Ziliang still had such a thunderous side.

"Kill, kill a rule."

Xu Ziliang threw down a stack of documents he had just written: "This is the new rule I set, according to the rules set by Wancheng, Jiaozhi, Lintao, and the nine people who made decisions, and now the prefect is in charge of governance, that is, each prefect manages his own affairs within the big rules, so the rules I prepared are all within the big rules, and there is no need to report to the top." ”

Han Jiang flipped through it very seriously.

To put it simply, the local natives are indeed savages, and some of them even eat people, which is the real reason why Xu Ziliang wants to use sticks to educate.

Relying on Huairou alone is really not enough.

The people on the other side of Jiaozhi can at least understand human speech.

Xu Ziliang continued when Han Jiang was reading the papers: "I wrote a letter to Haohuan, stating some of my thoughts, I want to give Lan Hai a military position, or let him take charge of a city. ”

Han Jiang didn't interfere in this matter, and Xu Ziliang didn't plan to let Han Jiang make a decision.

Apply upwards, and then discuss a proposal by the qualified above, this is the process, and this is also the rule created by Han Jiang based on the experience of later generations.

It is precisely because of this rule that Han Jiang can be accepted by everyone.

Of course, let Han Jiang look at his proposal, Xu Ziliang thinks it is appropriate.

Sitting down in Xu Ziliang's study, Han Jiang said: "Actually, I also have a proposal, we reduce the field tax. It is not a total reduction, but the number of acres of land owned by the family per capita can be exempted from land tax. Now, we want to build a new Central Plains, so the previous rules can be ignored. ”

This proposal is interesting, in Xu Ziliang's cognition, he has never thought of exempting land tax.

Han Jiang thought for a moment, organized the language and continued: "I've always wanted to find someone to discuss this matter, Chen Fuliang can't do it, he has always guarded the tradition, I'm not saying that the tradition is bad, but it's a little difficult for his age to accept new things." As for the father-in-law, it's too far. ”

Xu Ziliang expressed understanding.

But Xu Ziliang didn't let Han Jiang say, and ordered the others to stay away first.

Because what Han Jiang said is really incredible.

Han Jiang and Xu Ziliang also sat down and said: "The role of taxation, in my opinion, in addition to increasing wealth income for the country, there is also an important significance is to regulate the rich and poor, the end of the dynasties is a redistribution of land, then after we change the nature of the land, the contradiction becomes the difference in wealth, my Han family is rich and rivals the country, then some people are poor and don't even have clothes." ”

"Do you hate the rich?"

"Will the poor form a hostile class with the rich?"

"Definitely. Therefore, the meaning of taxation should be added, the compulsory distribution of the world's wealth, but I don't know how to do it, this is a process of gradual perfection step by step, so the first step, the apportionment into the mu is just to make ordinary people feel comfortable, and at the same time reduce their burden, the next real significance is to let the tax serve the stability of the world, not just for the government to profit wealth. ”

Han Jiang is indeed too advanced.

The evolution of taxation has taken thousands of years of history, and taxes have changed countless times in modern times.

It is harder than a dream to really want to receive 40 percent of the income tax of the rich and then exempt the agricultural tax at all.

However, Han Jiang still wanted to try.

Sure enough, after Han Jiang finished talking about his thoughts, Xu Ziliang pondered for a quarter of an hour, and then shook his head: "This, it's too difficult, Brother Jiang still went to discuss it with your father-in-law, and I will think about it seriously." It is absolutely not possible to produce results in one or two years, but it is still possible to appropriately reduce or reduce the land tax for peasant households. ”

Han Jiang saw hope.

Xu Ziliang continued: "With the current situation, it is feasible to use commercial tax to supplement agricultural tax, and we must have new rules for commercial tax, and it is also feasible to double the commercial tax on some goods. The biggest benefit of calculating the reduction and exemption on the basis of the average number of acres per capita is to increase the population. This plan is wonderful. ”

When it comes to increasing the population, Xu Ziliang has many ideas.

At that moment, Xu Ziliang wrote another official document to Qian Haohuan, the first one was written clearly, asking Qian Haohuan to return to Lin'an. At the beginning of the second article, it was written that he was ghostwriting for Han Jiang, and put forward the idea and feasibility of reducing the field tax again, as well as his own suggestions and ideas.

Xu Ziliang knew that Han Jiang was not crazy.

The height of Han Jiang's station has exceeded the top of the palace, and some thoughts may not be understood by himself, but he can think about them.

Han Jiang and Xu Ziliang chatted for most of the day.

Han Jiang also understands that he still has a long way to go, and even if Xu Ziliang can understand, it does not mean that Xu Ziliang's son or family can understand his own definition of taxation.

This is the vital interests of many big families.

Xu Ziliang was also very cautious, he told Han Jiang that there are not many people who can believe these words, so let Han Jiang not mention it to too many people for the time being, there must be a plan for this matter, and it must be done step by step.

Han Jiang agreed.

Xu Ziliang said again: "Of course, there is another set of methods, with Wancheng directly reversed, when the time is right, but there is a new problem, Wancheng does not have enough talents to face the north, if this world is the end of the Tang Dynasty when the chaos is over, there is no need to think so much." ”

Han Jiang nodded: "That's right, Da Song can't be messed up." ”

Xu Ziliang continued: "The power in this court can and must be smoothly transitioned. Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

"Yes."

Han Jiang felt that his choice was right, Xu Ziliang could make his father value him so much, and he didn't get any benefits, but he had been assisting Xu Ziliang to be promoted to the most suitable official position step by step, and he did have extraordinary vision and talent.

That night, Han Jiang boarded the ship and the fleet headed north.

Han Jiang's next stop will be a short stop in Mingzhou, and then go directly back to Lin'an City.

The reason why Han Jiang stayed in Mingzhou was to wait for relevant information about the envoy of the Jin State in Lin'an City.

At this time, let's talk about Ezhou.

Zhao'an's holy decree has been issued, and the most important thing is to get two letters of authorization from the imperial court at the request of Han Jiang.

The first one, forbidden trading.

Wancheng has all the forbidden trading rights restricted by the imperial court except for salt, grain, and iron. Salt, grain, and iron were still under the control of the imperial court.

The second part, the goods produced by Wancheng are not allowed to be inspected by anyone along the road to Lin'an, nor will they stop on the road, but go directly to Lin'an, and only accept the inspection of the forbidden army in Lin'an, and the content of the inspection is limited to salt, grain, iron, weapons, gunpowder and other materials. Then, Wancheng's goods are duty-free in Lin'an, and no one is allowed to deliberately embarrass them.

No one in the imperial court cared about the small requests after these two recruitments.

Even three million guan was given, which is not worth mentioning.
