Ding Fu: also known as 'Ding Tax', 'Ding Qian', 'Ding Yin' or 'Ding Ding Qian'. Taxes levied by successive Chinese governments on a Dingkou basis. The object of taxation is men, and its nature is to use money in lieu of service. Such as the Han Dynasty's 'more fu', the Tang Dynasty's 'Yong Qian'. There are many levies of Ding Fu in different generations, and the difference lies in the different regulations on the age of Ding and the different tax rates. The age of Chengding was 23 to 56 years old in the Han Dynasty; In the Jin period, it was stipulated that those over the age of 16 to 60 were the adults, the ages of 13 to 15, and the ages of 61 were the second dings; At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the age of 18 was the year of adulthood; At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he was 21 years old as a chengding. When Ding Fu arrived in the Ming Dynasty, a whip law reform was collected by merging people and Tian Fu together with silver, but Ding Yin and Tian Fu were divided into two tax items.

In a whip law, the land tax, forced labor, and miscellaneous taxes were combined, converted into silver taels, and silver was levied according to the number of people and acres of land, which also caused the reason for the spread of the wind of contributions in various places.

Although it is said that according to the provisions of a whip law, the field tax and the poll tax are two separate tax items, however, there are policies and countermeasures, and soon the disadvantages of "the household registration has the silver of the household registration, the ding mouth has the silver of the ding mouth, and the land has the silver of the land", and the phenomenon of "the rich room of the field is rich, and the grain is lost, but the Ding Fu is still lost".

Since the Wanli years, the Ming Dynasty implemented the accumulation of silver per mu, generally on the field per mu of silver levied one cent, then seven centi, two cents five milli, one centim and one cent, after the three salaries were added, each mu of the field was about two cents and two cents.

That is to say, just because the land is taxed, the tiger boy's family has to pay more than one penny of silver. Counting more than ten times the fire consumption, miscellaneous expenses, rat sparrow consumption, drenching sharp kicks and so on, the original Guangdong rated field tax is about the tax standard worth four hundreds. It was brutally turned into nearly 40 percent.

For this reason, a few strong young men from the Tiger Boy family can only become black households. In order not to pay the money.

"Tiger boy, if I sue you, your family's money and grain only need to pay 5% of the harvest of the five acres and seven cents of paddy fields, and the rest of the people don't have to pay the silver, do you believe it or not?"

Hong Yilin's words were immediately thrown into the calm water like a big stone, and a buzzing discussion immediately broke out in the crowd, noisy and noisy like a toad's noisy pit.

These people have a similar burden on their heads, as a family of yeoman farmers. Being able to reduce the expenses of one stone and five buckets is a disguised increase in income. What's more, in a blink of an eye, nearly thirty and a half percent of the harvest increased.

"Brother Hong, I know you can trust it, but the official document clearly says that the tax money and grain will be increased, and it is also said that it will be collected in silver dollars. So. We farmers ...... on our heads."

A young man standing next to Tiger Boy will be skeptical. I can't believe Hong Yilin's statement. The people next to him also echoed his opinion.

"That's right! Where do we farmers go to get silver dollars? Don't you have to sell grain to have money? But does it mean that you have to pay business tax, income tax, and value-added tax when selling grain?! In this way, isn't it still pressed by a few mountains on the heads of the farmer? ”

Some people put forward the issue of turning over the land tax to the bank instead of collecting broken silver and the reform of the tax system in the commercial circulation link.

"That's it! I've heard that more than half of the tax will be charged! In this way, we have more than five acres of paddy fields. There will be three acres to pay for the grain! ”

It seems that some people not only take the tax regulations out of context, but also play a good game and turn the concept of the unified progressive tax rate into the tax standard of commercial tax. I have to say that this hand is indeed very beautiful.

"Joke!" Hong Yilin put down the teacup in his hand, his mouth was dry just now, and when everyone in the city was clamoring, he also drank a few sips of tea to moisten his throat.

"When Grandpa Taizu first ascended to the throne, he once stipulated that all commercial taxes of thirty would be taken as one, and those who passed would be judged as violating the order. When the Emperor of Wanli Shenzong was alive, he revised this will in the tenth year of Wanli and revised this will in the tenth year of Wanli, and laid down three tax exemption deeds, and the purchase price was less than forty taels and the pawn price, all of which were exempt from tax. If the purchase price is more than 40 taels, the tax will be 1 cent per tael. This is the will of the fathers and fathers, who dares to come indiscriminately? ”

Hearing Hong Yilin brought out the will of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Emperor Wanli, and said that the will of the ancestors and ancestors dared to mess around, which made the chaotic and complicated mentality of the people in the city a little calm.

"Tiger Boy, what you're worried about is just a matter of tax points. Yes and no? ”

The tiger boy under the head of the city, after being explained by the person next to him who understood the concept of the so-called starting line, couldn't help but smile, "Not bad! Brother Hong, that's what I'm talking about! ”

"Then you, Brother Hong, will give you a good explanation and enlighten you elm head melon seeds! lest those who are ignorant in the future be pushed down by others to be cannon fodder for others, and do that thing for others! ”

Hong Yilin's words, insinuating that the guns and sticks were sandwiched, made the faces of several leaders of the survival hall behind the group turn blue for a while, and they shouted in their hearts that it was not good, and they wanted to turn around and escape, but the backstage boss did not speak, how could he dare to act without permission?

"Tiger boy, let me ask you, your family sells some grain, raises chickens and ducks, and your aunt and sisters weave some cloth and the like in exchange for some silver, how many dollars can you sell at a time?"

"Sell for up to two taels of silver at a time! That time I came back to buy a buffalo calf! Daddy was so ruthless that he almost sold all the seeds! ”

"Look at what it says! If the income from a single (or month) sale does not exceed fifteen silver dollars, the commercial tax is exempted! If you sell something in the market, as long as it does not exceed fifteen silver dollars in a month, and whoever wants to collect your taxes, you can report to the official and sue him for extorting you! ”

Hong Yilin's words immediately sparked a large number of heartfelt laughter in the city.

Fifteen silver dollars, for these rough farmers, is not just a number, it may mean all the expenses for the son's marriage except for the bride price and the new house, the banquet, the ceremonial music, and the sedan chair are all included.

When it comes to their own interests, not only the farmer pricked up his ears and listened carefully, constantly thinking in his heart how much money and grain his family would have to pay if he followed Hong Yilin's so-called new tax regulations. Even the residents of Chengguan Town, who were watching the excitement behind the crowd and were ready to hide in the house at any time, quietly took a few steps forward, so as not to hear some words clearly.

"According to the above standard, the grain in your field, the fish and shrimp in the pond, the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, and some game caught by your father, son and brother occasionally in the mountains, forests and rivers are taken to the market to be sold, and the scattered silver money in exchange is not subject to tax."

"Captain Hong, like me. It's not just the countryside where the hometown has land to cultivate. If you still run a grocery store in the town, how should you pay taxes? Boss Chen of the grocery store couldn't help but squeeze out of the crowd and asked loudly to Hong Yilin at the head of the city.

Hong Yilin lowered his head and discussed a few words with several members of his team who had specially trained tax regulations, and then raised his head again. shouted at the city: "Commercial tax and land tax naturally cannot be confused. The commercial tax is the commercial tax. Tian Fu is Tian Fu. Business tax is calculated according to your capital and business quota before your profits come out. Rank uncle. If in doubt, we may as well choose a few of you from among you. I have good people here who have studied tax regulations, and they will help you calculate it and see if after this tax, is everyone's money and food heavy or the burden on your body light?! ”

As soon as these words came out, I couldn't help but feel that the canonical history and county officials beside Hong Yilin, and even the clerks in the sixth room were all shaken by it, if the mud legs knew how much grain and land they should hand over to the officials, what should they do with the officials in the future? Didn't the sage say a long time ago, "The people can let it be done, but they can't know it." "To put it bluntly, you can't let the people know the truth!

The two court officials began to think about their own little calculations, should they take down the representatives after the people in the city elected them, report them as the leaders of the chaotic people who attacked the city, and then pay out of their own pockets to block the mouth of the Hong stick mallet in front of them?

And the household secretary standing behind the county Cheng began to beat a drum in his heart, if the people in the city knew how much land tax they should pay, he was afraid that his death time would come, and his eyes had begun to look at the surrounding roads, ready to flee from the city at any time.

However, the people in the city were also shocked by Hong Yilin's words. Based on the experience summed up over the years and generations, they instinctively decided that this was the official family looking for the first bird or to distinguish who the leader was, and was ready to carry out the post-autumn settling activities. All the people lowered their heads, lest the people above them see them, but they kept peeking around, and all they could see were the leaders of the survival hall standing at the back of the line.

"Damn it! Looking back at what?! Afraid that Lao Tzu will not die fast enough?! One of the leaders cursed in his heart, but he still had to force his composure on his face.

Like the spotlight on the area, everyone knows that these people are the leaders or masterminds of the tens of thousands of peasants in this storm. "Nail those guys for me!" Hong Yilin handed his monoculars to the guard sentinel, signaling that he was optimistic about the target.

"Uncles, brothers, you can consult with each other according to the townships, towns, and villages, and see who is in a more typical situation, and if you can take it out as a benchmark for everyone, you can recommend him to be a representative, and I will send someone down here to calculate it for you."

In this way, the peasants in the city became much more relaxed, and began to follow Hong Yilin's words, gathering together in villages or baojia units, discussing, discussing and even arguing with each other about who should be elected as the representative of the village, and let everyone know how to pay taxes according to his situation. Some people vaguely feel that once this representative is elected, then at least his land tax and poll tax or something, the official family will not dare to overcharge.

Finally, after half a day of quarrels, elections, and discussions, the people finally elected the representatives they thought were suitable, a total of 15 people, representing the 15 townships and towns in Dongguan. People looked at these fifteen people, hoping to roughly calculate the taxes they should pay from them, but they had already lost the purpose of their trip to the Pearl River.

Finally diverting everyone's attention to his own interests, Hong Yilin couldn't help but let out a long breath, in the November weather, his underwear was soaked with his own sweat! It was uncomfortable with a burst of clammy cold. He is not Zhuge Liang who can live in peace and quiet, he can fool Sima Yi's ability to flicker away without being able to play the piano quietly on the city tower, and he can insist on talking and laughing with everyone without changing his face, and control everyone's feelings, which is already a challenge to his ability, if he does not have this instinctive physiological reaction. That's too strong to be difficult.

He nodded and called several members of his team who had systematically trained this tax charter, "Boys, the lord has cultivated us, and now the time has come to use us!" Several of you have studied taxation, this matter is good, those people in the city are the lord's diehards, if you don't do it well, someone will provoke it again, I'm afraid that we will throw our lives here and not say anything, and our families and children can't raise their heads. It's even more of a big thing that spoils the lord! ”

A few team members who had learned the method of fiscal and tax collection were put under the city with hanging baskets. As soon as the hanging basket landed, dozens of farmers who were making a fuss about handing over the farmers rushed up and helped the team members out of the hanging basket. Like the stars holding the moon, these team members gathered around the team to a wide and flat place, and someone had already brought tables, chairs, tea, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and other things.

A member of the team picked up the copper horn in his hand. put it in his mouth and shouted loudly: "Folks." Uncle and uncle. In order to make it clear to all, my brothers will sing them all when calculating the taxes payable to the elected representatives. So that you can be clear. However, please be considerate and try to be as quiet as possible. ”

There was a sudden silence in the crowd, except for the heavy gasps of thousands of people accompanied by a cold wind, but the sound was dwarfed by the loud sound coming from the brass horns.

"Lin Huzai, a family of six men, five acres and seven points of paddy fields, double cropping rice can harvest twelve stone rice. According to the rules of the tax reform, the tax rate of 5 per 100 should be paid 6 buckets of land in kind. ”

The members of the work team lined up the delegates one by one, and copied in their hands the information that the delegates themselves said about the harvest of the fields and forests at home, and the big loudspeaker over there read out a sentence so that everyone listened to and checked, and only after everyone nodded their heads and said yes, the draft copied by the team members was stamped with a triangle, indicating that the figure was detailed and reliable.

Then, according to the population of these fields, some people calculated the amount of taxes, money and grain that these representatives should pay, and this simple mathematical calculation naturally made it difficult for these people who had studied in Nanzhong for several years.

Just read the amount of money and grain payable by a tiger boy's family, the crowd immediately made waves, and even the tiger boy himself standing in front of the long table did not believe it, he asked the team member sitting behind the desk who had just come out of fluff on his lips with suspicion, "Sir, did you miscalculate?" This may not be the amount of money and grain of my family, and my family has to pay at least about four stones of imperial grain and national tax in previous years! ”

"Your imperial grain tax includes Ding Yin, additional distribution and other main items, all of which are levied on a per mu, but there are still some floating income, sprinkling, fire consumption, rat and bird consumption and other miscellaneous items, so your family has to pay so much silver and grain after calculating the summer grain and autumn tax for two seasons a year."

"Sir, then, I dare to ask, if my family pays money and food according to this amount in the future, how will those additional distributions be calculated?"

Tiger Boy's words were like pouring a scoop of cold water on a hot oil pot, which immediately quieted the buzz of the discussion. Oh, yes! Uncle Xiang can call the shots, those three salaries and factions, this is also what the emperor wants! The collection of one or two dollars per mu of land is only in cash, but now the grain prices in Liangguang have not been able to rise even if they have been killed. If it weren't for the people in these teams in front of us to teach everyone that double-cropping rice can be interplanted with rice and rapeseed, and everyone harvests some rapeseed to extract oil, and oil residue or something can also be fed to pigs to fertilize the field, it is estimated that this day will not be able to sustain it.

"Extra Pai? Uncle's tax rules don't say it, but even if it is collected, it is charged according to the number of acres, you pay silver dollars, and those fire consumption or anything is gone, so naturally there is less burden, right? ”

"Sir, you really eat a lamp grass and say it lightly! Where do the farmer go to find so many silver dollars? Someone could hear the conversation between the team members and the tiger cub, and couldn't help but make a dissatisfied voice in the crowd.

"Aren't you allowed to sell grain?" The team members looked dazed, "There is so much food at home, in addition to the family to eat, how can the rest of the food have to be sold?" Wouldn't there be money when you sell food? ”

Several old and serious people stopped the impulse of seven or eight stunned youths, and walked to the long table, "This sir, you have also traveled in various villages and towns, and you should know the current price of grain. If it weren't for the fact that grain prices in various localities could not go up, and the officials were busy collecting money and grain taxes, Guangdong would not have been in the chaos that broke out a few years ago. If it weren't for the uncle's suppression, I'm afraid that this autumn, everyone wouldn't know where to flee! ”

"I remember that I sent the notice at the beginning of spring! It should be posted everywhere! One of the team members muttered to himself.

"That's right, uncle's virtue and politics, in the future, the grain in Liangguang is like this, and the same as in all parts of Nanzhong, what is the price of the grain merchant in the market, the uncle will collect it at three times the price of the grain merchant. However, half of the grain payment was offset by the industrial vouchers issued by the uncle. With these industrial coupons, you can go to shops everywhere to buy all kinds of goods from Nanzhong, what hardware tools, cloth to eat, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar can be used to settle the bill! ”

"That's right! If you use this settlement, it's cheaper! It's much more cost-effective than using silver! (To be continued......)
