Liang Jia's plan is that in the future, all agricultural taxes in various places will be abolished, except for the land and mu tax, and all other taxes related to agriculture will be abolished, and all government governments will not be allowed to collect land and mu taxes. The tax per acre is collected independently by Jinyi Wei in various places. The local government has no money, so it collects its own commercial taxes.

Of course, it is impossible for them to collect indiscriminately, Liang Jia has also set the tax rate range of commercial tax, and at the same time, according to the situation in various places, different shares of commercial tax interception will be given.

This share of the commercial tax withheld by various localities will be handed over to the administrative office, and it must be determined before the spring tax is collected next year.

The seven ministers of the Administration Department are really bitter and can't be said.

They did not agree to the tax reform, but in the end the resistance failed, and they had to appease the disgruntled ministers.

After the reform was carried out, in the face of the strong enthusiasm of the people across the country, they had no chance to delay it, so they had no choice but to pinch their noses and help the emperor implement it.

Of course, they only dare to delay, dare to obstruct and oppose, think about the more than 50 officials who have been investigated, which one is not a real corruption and bribery. What's more, none of the seven of them are clean, and they can't stand up to scrutiny at all.

Since it has become an established fact, let's do it, although they will also lose a little, but compared to the benefits gained by being the minister of the administrative department, that little acre of land is really not a big deal.

However, the emperor immediately collected the taxing power of the local government, although it was given to the commercial tax as a supplement, but how could this commercial tax be so easy to collect. Which of these officials in the capital, as well as those in various places, has no family members to run various businesses, and which one of them has not secretly accepted a large number of shares and dividends.

However, the first plan to levy taxes on acres of land was approved, and it was too late to oppose it.

Moreover, the emperor's move is very ruthless.

In order to maintain the expenses of the yamen, the local government will definitely take the lead in collecting taxes on commerce, because if you don't collect it, there must be someone else who collects it. Don't fail to resist the past when the time comes, and end up with a dead body and the lights go out.

What Liang Jia and the Administration Office didn't know was that although the tax collection according to the acres of land was carried out vigorously, there were not a lot of turmoil in the secret.

Even if Jinyiwei has been spread all over the country now, it is impossible to supervise every detail. Among them, there are many wealthy gentry who own a lot of land, and they are quite dissatisfied. However, because no one took the lead, the local people were bewitched by the imperial court again, and they wanted to resist for a while, but there was no good way.

In Jinling City, the capital city of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, the big grain merchant Lei Junyu's house ushered in two guests with serious expressions.

Lei Junyu is a well-known wealthy merchant in Jinling City, and it is said that his family's grain stock is enough for the people of Jinling City to eat for half a year. Not only did he buy grain everywhere, but he also owned tens of thousands of acres of land, and he was a proper big landlord and businessman.

The status of businessmen is low, so Lei Jun recruited wives and concubines and gave birth to a bunch of sons, hoping that one of these sons could produce a scholar, so that he could really form a fixed interest relationship with those officials, but unfortunately there were more than 20 sons, none of them were successful, all of them were not reading materials, and they were all scholars who could not be on the stage.

Lei Junyu has such a large family property, so he naturally wants to have a very stable guarantee, if his son can't do it, then his daughter.

But he is a merchant family, and the real officials are unwilling to marry his daughter as a wife, and few of his daughters are really good-looking, even if someone marries, it is only for the sake of his wealth.

Lei Junyu naturally knows this, so for these in-laws who are officials, it is a deliberate friendship, and a large amount of money is given every year.

The tax reform of the imperial court this time suddenly pierced Lei Junyu's heart, his family's tens of thousands of acres of land, and the annual tax revenue was tens of thousands of taels, which made him feel painful and distressed. That's not all, the imperial court still has to levy commercial taxes, which is simply his life.

Lei Junyu was so worried that he began to visit the local officials in Jinling.

These officials took the benefits, plus they went to other people's daughters as concubines, and they all swore to Lei Junyu that the emperor's reform plan this time would definitely not be implemented, because too many people opposed it, and it would definitely not be implemented in the end.

Even if it is executed, they will take care of Lei Jun.

But what he never expected was that when Jinyiwei measured their land, those officials who had vowed to help one or two avoided it one by one, and in the end, they measured all 50,000 acres of land, and not a single acre of land was hidden.

This is not counting, it didn't take long for the imperial court to issue an edict on the change of taxing power again, and the local government will face no money after it has no power to tax, what should I do if I don't have money? The emperor said that the commercial tax would be levied. My God, he, the biggest grain merchant in Jinling, must be the first to bear the brunt.

Thinking that he would lose tens of thousands of taels of land every year, and then pay business taxes, and he didn't know how much the tax rate was, and he might get tens of thousands of taels, it was like digging his ancestral grave, which made him extremely painful, unable to eat, and unable to sleep.

He again brought silver tickets, antiques, calligraphy and paintings and other things to the officials.

But this time, he didn't even see anyone.

Lei Junyu was extremely angry and scolded these unscrupulous officials. On weekdays, he holds his filial piety, but he can't count on it at critical moments.

He vented all his anger on his son, more than 20 sons, and 20 or 30 daughters-in-law all knelt in the courtyard, and the scene was very spectacular.

Just when he was anxious and sick, his ten sons told him that someone could help him.

Lei Junyu was like a drowning man grasping a straw, and he didn't ask about the situation, so he asked this old man to invite him.

Three days later, the people invited by Lao Shi arrived home, but as soon as they met, Lei Junyu felt that something was wrong. These two people are obviously not officials, and they are from the rivers and lakes at first glance.

"In the Lower White Lotus Sect, the hall master of the Jinling branch, Yu Jun, this is the deputy hall master Le Zhongming."

"Ah...... You are white ......" Lei Junyu hurriedly swallowed the last two words, turned his head to look at the living room, and immediately closed the door after finding that there was no one.

"Master Lei can shout out, we are not afraid, anyway, when we get here, it is impossible for Master Lei to clear up the relationship. What's more, your son has already entered my holy religion. The hall master Yu Jun said with a sneer.

Lei Junyu's face turned pale instantly. He just doesn't want to pay taxes, he doesn't want to rebel.

What the White Lotus Sect is doing, Lei Junwu is very clear.

Looking at the two people with grim faces in front of him, Lei Junyu's regretful liver hurt. Although he is not smart, he has always been honest and responsible, how did he hook up with the people of the White Lotus Sect.
