Although the tax law is not formulated by the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Households has always had a great say in this matter, this time the imperial court suddenly attacked the squires and magnates who owned a large amount of land, without any warning, some people who do not know the situation, the first thing that comes to mind must be the Ministry of Households.

The household department went up to the Shangshu Shilang and down to the scribe Zhanggu, and it was not peaceful for these two days.

Qian Shuo had just gotten off the office, and when he returned home, there were several people in power from the wealthy families in Beijing who came to visit with gifts.

These people were all inquiring about the tax reform, but Qian Shuo just pushed it to the imperial court, saying that this matter was directly ordered by His Majesty, and the household department did not know, and he shirked the responsibility cleanly.

These wealthy families came to the Qian Mansion, firstly, to find out the truth of this matter, and secondly, to inquire which guy came up with this bad idea, he didn't want them to be happy, and they wouldn't let him have a good time.

I didn't expect to inquire about the truth, but the culprit knew.

But with their great courage, they didn't dare to make a mistake in front of His Majesty, and when they came to Qianfu, not only did they not have stability in their hearts, but they panicked even more.

Even Qian Shuo, who was the secretary of the household department, didn't know the situation, not to mention the officials under him, the squires and magnates near Gyeonggi, who didn't hear any news, and the court was even more deadly silent.

Somewhere in the house of a magnate.

Several figures gathered together, chattering.

"How could the tax system suddenly change so much, there was no warning before!"

"A few days ago, when the imperial court wanted to streamline the tax system, if we agreed, maybe there would be no today!"

"This is forcing us, they haven't thought about what the consequences will be if they push us into a hurry!"

……

The one at the front looked at him and asked, "What consequences, do you want to rebel?" 10,000 cavalry are stationed outside the Beijing Division, and there are 16 guards with a total of 100,000 troops, do you want your family to accompany you to die? ”

The man was speechless.

After a long pause, one of them asked, "So what should we do?" ”

"Wait and see." The man at the head said: "This matter is not so simple, let's look at it for the time being......"

……

Tang Ning has been in the government normally for the past few days, and he has not done anything superfluous, he has already laid a nest and laid a good net, and is waiting for the time to be ripe to catch the fish.

Jingshi has been very chaotic these days, it can be said that people are panicking, according to the land tax, is undoubtedly beneficial to the people, those farmers who own land, the difference between the tax before and after will not be too much, but they can rest assured that they can have children, do not have to worry about the tax of the court falling on their children's heads, increasing the burden on the family.

The benefits from this tax law were those tenants who did not own land, they did not have land, and they no longer had to pay taxes, and all this tax was transferred to the big tyrants and big landlords who owned the land.

Although these people have suffered a loss, they will definitely try to exploit the tenants, but even if they are stripped and stripped clean, it is still not enough to make up for the loss, and the loss of the squire and magnates will be settled this time anyway.

No one is born to like to suffer, these squires and magnates have tried all kinds of methods in the past two days, but they have not shaken the determination of the imperial court, and chaos has begun to appear in the entire Gyeonggi region.

In Tang Ning's opinion, this is not messy enough, in order to add another fire, he asked the officials of the household department to visit one by one to count the income of those squires and powerful families this year, so that at the end of the quarter, the tax will be calculated in advance.

Half of these household officials were closed, and although the other half entered the door, those people shirked in every possible way, and almost no one completed the statistical task.

The reason why Tang Ning said that it was almost because there was still an attitude of obeying the arrangements of the imperial court.

Tang Ning looked at King Huai and asked, "What is the origin of this Zhang family?" ”

King Huai explained: "The Zhang family is the family of Concubine Zhang Xian, and they are in charge of the Zuoxi Gatekeeper. ”

The Zhang family is the mother family of Concubine Zhang Xian, that is, the backer of King Kang, just like the meaning of the Tang family to King Duan, it is generally a glory and a loss, and now King Kang has become the heir king, and the Zhang family has not been implicated at all, which is also strange.

King Huai glanced at him and explained: "The Zhang family is very low-key, and they never go against the imperial court, which is normal, the Sixteen Wei generals have a special status, including families like the Xiao family and the Ling family, and they have never disobeyed the imperial court......"

This situation is very easy to understand, the two sides of the conflict, the happiest, are generally some jumping clowns, the real boss will not be so noisy, and he will not end up in person, but if they do it, it will be a different situation...... the shock, the move is fatal.

He looked at King Huai and said, "Almost, right?" ”

King Huai nodded and said, "It's almost." ”

Tangning looked at him and asked, "Why don't you ......?"

King Huai nodded and said, "Very good." ”

……

Households.

Qian Shuo looked at the letter in his hand, combined with the tax change that had been in a uproar in the past two days, and finally understood, and said angrily: "It's too much to deceive people!" ”

It was only at this moment that he realized that the last letter of abolishing the poll tax and taxing taxes according to land was simply a false shot, and their fundamental purpose was still this excerpt of streamlining the tax system......

These two little foxes are simply insidious, because of this matter, the powerful squires in the entire Gyeonggi region are already dying of sorrow, and compared with the taxation according to the land, streamlining the tax system is not a matter at all, and everyone knows how to choose whether to pluck the hair or cut the meat.

The problem is that these people will react afterwards, and whoever proposes a streamlining of the tax system will be considered the initiator of the whole thing......

Qian Shuo paced in the yamen, and after a while, he looked at a small official and said, "Please come over Fang Shilang and Wu Shilang." ”

A moment later, the little official and an official walked in, Qian Shuo looked at him and asked, "What about Fang Shilang?" ”

The little official said: "Fang Shilang said that he was unwell and went home early. ”

"Forget it...... Qian Shuo waved his hand, looked at the right attendant of the ministry who had just taken office, and said with a smile: "Wu Shilang, this official has an important matter to hand over to you......"

……

The tax reform in recent days has pushed one of the six household departments to the forefront.

Qian Shuo, the head of the household, Fang Zhe on the left, Wu Bo on the right, only Wu Bo was born in a wealthy family in Gyeonggi, and there are countless people who want to inquire about the news from him, and in the past two days, the guests of the Wu family have been in an endless stream.

Wu Bo had just returned home today, and there were several people waiting in the hall.

Wu Bo stepped into the hall, and several heads of the big clans greeted him, and couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, Lord Wu, has the imperial court decided?" ”

Wu Bodao: "This matter is a big matter, and the imperial court has not yet decided, but things have finally taken a turn for the better......

"What turnaround?"

"Lord Wu, come on!"

Several people were overjoyed when they heard this, and they spoke one after another.

Wu Bodao: "This official has contacted several colleagues, tomorrow in the morning to play to Your Majesty, asking the imperial court to streamline the tax system as soon as possible, if Your Majesty agrees, the tax reform will be temporarily delayed, and the streamlining of the tax system, if you want to implement the whole country from Gyeonggi, it will take at least five years, after five years, what will happen to the tax reform, but it is not necessarily......"

Someone looked at him and asked, "In this case, aren't we the ones who suffer?" ”

Wu Bo glanced at him and said, "You better accept it when you see it, if you anger Your Majesty, no one will end well......"

The faces of several people changed, and after weighing the pros and cons, they finally relented, gritted their teeth and said: "If Your Majesty takes back the order of tax reform and streamlines the tax system, it is not impossible to discuss......
