One thousand one hundred and seventy-nine Is the emperor a bandit!
Guo was a poor dagger, and none of the high-ranking officials present were counted as one, and none of them were not shocked by this.
A few people were so surprised that they even exclaimed.
"Your Majesty......"
"No matter who you are, you naturally include you, you or yourself, or your family, own a lot of land, but you can not pay or pay less taxes, the past, it is over, I have no time to take care of it, now, it is indispensable."
Guo Peng stood up again and looked at the ministers with a very oppressive gaze: "Land annexation is a stubborn disease of the past dynasties, and the calculation of the mouth endowment is the evil government imposed on it, I want to abolish it, since it is abolished, I must pay agricultural taxes according to the acres of land, and no one can run away." ”
So they all understood.
Why did Guo Peng think about abolishing the two major tax items, the calculation of the tax and the oral tax.
feelings, he wants to cut the flesh of the official Haoqiang family to fill this shortfall!
All the manor land left over from the former Han Dynasty was cleared, and after the clearing, everyone paid taxes as one, regardless of each other.
The officials themselves, or their families, or the estates left over from the local tycoons, etc., will all be liquidated, and if none of them are left, the chaotic tax situation of the past will be completely rectified.
Those who did not pay taxes, or paid less taxes, or used various names to avoid taxes, are now required to pay taxes according to the same standard.
Finally, the emperor is about to make a move on the land.
They waited and waited and waited until the day came.
Those large estates that can easily hide thousands of households, estates that do not have to pay taxes or just symbolically hand over a few cows and horses, etc., cannot escape.
The Emperor's broadsword is about to be cut off.
The point is that such people are actually everywhere.
Whether it is a central official, a local official, or even some senior generals of the army, as well as the manor heroes left over from the troubled period of the former Han Dynasty.
They thought that it would be over after the emperor suppressed the scholars, but they didn't expect that the emperor would have a follow-up move.
After using them to beat the scholars to death, the emperor actually unloaded the mill and killed the donkey again, crossed the river and demolished the bridge.
He is going to take action against the poor families who are going to help him fight against the scholars and establish the imperial examination system, and he is going to attack the richest group of people in the whole Wei State at the moment.
Among this group of people are officials and their powerful families, as well as simple landlords and local powerful people who are not officials.
In the previous dispute between the imperial examination and the imperial examination, they firmly stood on the emperor's side, launched a fierce struggle with scholars and officials, and finally helped the emperor establish the imperial examination system and defeat the inspection system.
The imperial examination was established, and they could finally stand on the same starting line as the scholars and compete, regardless of their origins.
They felt that the emperor was their holy monarch, giving them hope for progress in reading, so that they would not always be trampled on the head by scholars, and they would never be inferior to scholars again.
But now, it seems, that has changed.
The emperor is going to harm their interests.
The emperor was to ask them to collect taxes, and to ask them to take money to make up for the financial deficit after the abolition of the reckoning and oral taxes.
Isn't this a typical robbery of the rich to help the poor?
Is the emperor a bandit!
Some people have already begun to roar inside.
But in front of the emperor, they didn't dare to say a word of opposition, who knows what will happen after they say it?
His Majesty the Emperor's power has further expanded, and he is already a complete single husband, and his heart is becoming more and more arrogant, and he does not need to share power with anyone and follow the advice of others.
The emperor can be arbitrary, and there is no need to pretend to listen to the opinions of his courtiers as before.
As long as he wanted to, and he felt that he could afford to pay the price, he could dictate and give orders directly, even bypassing these high-ranking officials.
Just like he can bypass the staff station and the military department and directly order the army to wage war against the Western Regions.
Naturally, there will be people who will carry out the emperor's will to the end in order to echo the emperor, and naturally there will be people who will automatically become the emperor's minions and set off a bloody storm in the local area, just to collect taxes.
The Emperor is a complete lone man, and the reason why he is saying this now is just to remind everyone that he is going to do this, and he does not have any idea of negotiating.
Next, it's time to choose.
On the side of the emperor, hand over economic benefits in exchange for political benefits.
Or they are distressed about their economic interests, resolutely do not hand them over, and choose to be tough with the emperor to the end.
The choice seems to be a no-brainer.
Cao Cao secretly looked at Guo Jia and found that Guo Jia was also looking at him, and the two seemed to have reached some kind of consensus when their eyes exchanged.
Then Guo Jia stepped forward first.
"Your Majesty's move is beneficial to the country and the people, since ancient times, land annexation is a stubborn disease, whenever it happens, it can always cause displaced people everywhere, starvation for thousands of miles, such a tragic situation, it is really heartbreaking.
Now that Your Majesty has cleared the land and abolished the calculation and endowment, it will reduce the burden on the peasant households, which is really good governance, so that the peasant households dare to have more children and raise more children, and the population of our Wei will inevitably increase on a large scale.
In this way, Jiangnan, Liaodong, Lingnan, Mobei, Western Regions and other places lacking population can be filled with population, and Your Majesty does not have to worry about the population every day. ”
Guo Jia published a tirade and then expressed his support.
"Your Majesty's abolishment of calculation and oral endowment, benevolent heart, all the people in the world can feel it, and I will definitely be grateful to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's kindness is spread all over the world, and I will be eternal! The minister is willing to clear the land at home and pay taxes to supplement the country! ”
Guo Jia stood up as an important minister of the royal family and the right servant of the staff station.
He took the lead in expressing support for His Majesty's new policy, and also expressed his willingness to pay taxes to His Majesty the Emperor on all the land belonging to his name.
He was willing to pay, willing to give up his small family for everyone, and contribute his own taxes to the prosperity of the Wei Empire.
Cao Cao secretly screamed badly.
It's been preempted again!
This guy always reacts faster than himself! Damn it!
So Cao Cao immediately stood up and knelt down in front of Guo Peng.
"The minister thought that what Guo Fushu said was very true, Your Majesty is virtuous, the people benefit, the people do not count the burden of endowment and oral endowment, and they are definitely willing to have more children, and the population will inevitably grow.
Population growth, then the population dilemma of our Wei will no longer be a dilemma, it will be solved, Your Majesty's mercy, surrender! The minister is willing to clear the land at home and pay taxes! ”
Cao Cao, a major minister of the family and the first assistant of the cabinet, also stood up and expressed his support for the emperor's new policy, and was willing to hand over the land at home to the emperor Qingzhang to support the emperor's measures.
He was also willing to pay taxes that he didn't have to pay at all, and give this part of the money to the emperor so that the emperor could do great things.
In just a short moment, two of Guo Peng's closest confidants stood up to express their opinions.
A lot of people haven't reacted yet.
But it is Guo Jia and Cao Cao's statements that have made Guo Peng feel that his power has really increased and expanded.
In the past, there were not many people who did not say that they supported it, and they did not even explicitly express their opposition, but now there are those who directly support it, even if it harms their interests, but they do not dare to oppose it directly, but remain silent.
It seems that some people have woken up and know that as long as this policy is proposed, it will definitely be implemented, and no matter how much they argue, the result will not change.
In this case, instead of arguing with the emperor and losing his wife and soldiers, it is better to lie down and enjoy.
The emperor's usual method is to pull a batch and fight a batch, and it has been tried and tested.
Many smart people have also summed up some lessons and realized that they can still get the favor of the emperor by preemptively expressing their positions, and they will suffer economic losses, but they will inevitably be compensated politically.
The other high-ranking officials were shocked when they saw Guo Jia and Cao Cao preemptively express their positions, and then fell into extreme entanglement.
