According to the two-tax system implemented in the Song Dynasty, the summer tax was levied in currency, and the autumn tax was levied in kind. The meaning of the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao Yu means that Hainan is not rich in products now, and physical storage should be levied for the famine year. However, Zhuang Shilin thought that currency was better, and he thought that in addition to being convenient for collecting taxes, farmers had to sell their agricultural products in exchange for currency in order to pay taxes. The government can buy the food it needs and hire manpower through money. In this way, the production and circulation of goods will be promoted, and the revenue from commercial taxes will be increased.

Zhao Yu also thinks about it, and it makes sense that the use of monetary taxation will make it necessary for the self-sufficient rural natural economy to have a direct connection with the market, expand the scope of commodity production, and thus promote social and economic prosperity. However, those people in the Shuaifu Army have a large amount of salary in their hands and cannot spend it, which will also cause deflation, which is not conducive to long-term development. At the same time, the marketing of a large amount of grain can also make it more convenient for the slang people to obtain food, thereby alleviating their food shortage, increasing the opportunities for contact between the two sides, and also benefiting from alleviating the contradictions between the two sides.

On the contrary, 'there is no panic in the stomach when there is food in the stomach', Zhao Yu still feels that he should be conservative, he is really frightened by the food shortage in Jiazi Town, thousands of people are waiting for rice to be cooked, and there is nowhere to buy food at a high price. Therefore, he thought that he should be conservative, not take too big steps, and wait for Hainan to completely achieve self-sufficiency in grain, and implement it when every household has surplus grain.

The two calculated that the Marshal's army would consume 500,000 stone of grain a year, and collect it on the basis of increasing 20%, so that he would have 600,000 stone of grain available in his hand. The peasants still had surplus grain to supply the market, and the surplus was collected in currency for the expenditure of the local government, while the commercial tax went to the military, and the surplus could only be raised by the marshal itself. However, Zhao Hao thought that it was not enough to rely only on savings and counterfeit money, and it was also necessary to develop industry, promote exports, and earn money from foreigners was the long-term solution.

On the surface, Zhao Hao seems to have suffered a loss in the matter of tax cuts, but in fact, he has not lost much. According to the tax system of the Great Song Dynasty, Tian Fu Zhongtian has an acre of summer tax money of four cents and four cents, and eight liters of autumn rice. One acre of summer tax money in the field is three cents, and the autumn rice is seven liters and four he. 1.5 million mu of land can collect about 6,000 yuan of money and 120,000 stone of grain, while the Shuai Fu and the local government need at least 4 million guan and 700,000 stone of grain to cover the expenses.

And even so, the Shuai Mansion only received 120,000 stone of grain for free, and the remaining 580,000 stone had to be bought from the people through Heguang, which probably cost millions of yuan. Although the tax rate has been raised, each mu of land only needs to bear about four buckets of grain and 500 yuan. But Zhao Yu got 600,000 stone grain and 800,000 yuan of money for free. The people can collect four stones of grain per mu of land for two seasons, except for seeds, taxes and their own daily use, and the rest can still be profitable when they enter the market for circulation.

Between one in and one out, Zhao can reduce the deficit. Instead of collecting any additional taxes and fees from the peasants, the peasants will naturally increase their enthusiasm for growing grain, be willing to increase inputs, and then strive to increase the productivity and commodity rate of the land. The important thing is that the people have surplus profits, stabilize the hearts of the people, and attract more people to come, so that Qiongzhou can gain the impetus for development, so that his plan to maintain his glory and accumulate strength can be realized......

Zhao Yu and Zhuang Shilin discussed for a long time to determine the tax amount, and felt that there was nothing wrong, but such a big matter always had to be agreed by everyone, so they convened the chief officials of each department for a court discussion in order to determine the matter.

"What do you think?" After everyone arrived, Zhuang Shilin explained the results of the discussion between the two to everyone, Zhao Yu looked at everyone and asked.

"His Royal Highness re-determined the amount of taxes and abolished miscellaneous taxes to benefit the country and the people, although there was a deficit at the beginning, the old man thought that it could be implemented." Ying Jieyan said first.

"The subordinates also think it is feasible, although the deficit is not small, but the Shuai Mansion can bear it." Jiang Xuan also nodded.

"This move is to benefit the people, stabilize people's hearts, and make the army and the people concentrate on the enemy." Gao Yingsong has no objection.

"Your Highness's move can bring a large amount of surplus grain into the market, alleviate the trend of high grain prices to a certain extent, and also make the replenishment of various warehouses insufficient to benefit the famine year." Of course, Cai Wanyi has no opinions, and now Chang Pingsi can be said to be only in and out, and the warehouse is gradually empty, and now he can have a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, the new fields reclaimed this time are all charged according to the new tax system, so can the official fields, vocational fields, and school fields still be exempted!" Chen Zeweng asked.

"Since Judge Chen asked, this king has a proposal, let's see if it's feasible?" Zhao Hao pondered for a moment and said, "This king wants to use all the newly cultivated land and all the newly developed land in the future as official land, and no unit or individual can occupy the land indiscriminately." We can distribute the arable land to the landless, who rent the land for a long time and pay the land according to the law. ”

"Your Highness does not mean to grant land according to the ding, but to grant the land according to the household, and to rent the land from them for a long time. But if people live and die, how to deal with it? Jiang Xuan asked.

"It is the king's intention to be ten to twenty years, during which time life will not increase, death will not decrease, and it will be adjusted after the expiration of time." Zhao Yu replied that his meaning was very clear, that is, to imitate the contract system in the previous life.

"Your Highness, what if the tenants don't grow food and convert the land to other uses?" Pan Fang asked.

"After the land is leased, whether he plants fruit trees or digs ponds to raise fish, we don't interfere, as long as he can pay for grain according to the law, of course, we must also guide them to plant something, otherwise we will grow food and what we wear!" Zhao Hao said with a smile.

"Your Highness, if all the fields are classified as official land, where will the state and county expenses and the needs of the school come from?" Chen Zeweng asked.

"All expenses shall be paid from the land endowment and shall be allocated to all places, and it is not allowed to collect more than one penny from the people." Zhao Hao replied.

"Well, that's a good move. As long as the people pay enough land, the rest will be their own. It can effectively stop the trend of apportions and transfers from the government at all levels to the people, thereby reducing the burden on the people, and the officials can also work with peace of mind, naturally reduce the contradictions between the two sides, and rebuild their prestige. Gao Yingsong appreciated the authenticity.

"Your Highness, if there are households whose population decreases during the period of tenancy and are unable to operate, but there are also people who have insufficient arable land due to the increase in population, but cannot adjust the period before the term, will they not either abandon their fields or have their incomes plummeting and cannot maintain them?" Ying Jieyan thought for a while and asked.

"Good question, sir. If the above situation occurs, it can be transferred for compensation, and it can be used as a mortgage to participate in the operation, and the sale of land can be partially resumed, but the term shall not exceed the lease period. If there is any further expropriation of cultivated land, in addition to obtaining approval, it is necessary to solve the livelihood of the tenants of the plot, and at the same time pay the occupation tax equivalent to the grain payable on the plot every year, so that the reduction of cultivated land can be effectively controlled and the livelihood problem can be solved. Zhao Yu replied...... (To be continued.) )
