Chapter 781: Black Cauldron
The tax reform matter continued to ferment for several days, and Wu Bo, the right attendant of the household department, together with more than a dozen officials, put forward a proposal at today's morning court.
They suggested that the imperial court should take it step by step, and that it might as well streamline the cumbersome tax system first, and then talk about tax reform.
Chen is a country with dozens or hundreds of state capitals, and it is impossible for any decree issued by the imperial court to be achieved overnight, and it will take at least five or six years for the tax system to be popularized to all state capitals.
At that time, Emperor Chen still doesn't know if he is still in power, who still remembers this decree?
This right attendant of the household department only took over Han Ming's vacant position not long ago, he was born in Gyeonggi, and his family is also a well-known wealthy family in Gyeonggi, so naturally he does not want the imperial court to cut meat from these wealthy families.
After this motion was put forward, many officials of the DPRK and China echoed it.
The poor can stand out from the imperial examination and rank in the court, there are too few and too few, and the officials of the court and the central government are either from powerful and wealthy families, or they are from poor families, but even if they are from poor families, there is also a "door" character, which must be local large landowners who own countless fields, and are related to the interests of this proposal.
In fact, this is also an important reason why it is impossible for the imperial court to abolish the poll tax and levy taxes according to the fields, all the decisions of the imperial court are for the sake of the ruling class, and the officials who make up the imperial court are themselves the rulers.
How could they be willing to cut meat from themselves to subsidize the common people?
There were too many officials seconded this proposal, and even Emperor Chen could not insist on going his own way, and after the next dynasty, he convened important ministers in the court to discuss it, and formally approved Wu Bo's proposal to streamline the tax system.
Half a month ago, the squires and magnates, who were still opposed to the streamlining of the tax system, seemed to be very cooperative this time, and there was not a single discordant voice before and after.
After all, the imperial court has already given in, and if they still don't know what to do, it will not benefit anyone if they cause His Majesty to repent.
When many people heard the news, they all sighed, thinking that the imperial court would completely stand on their side this time, but they didn't expect to finally give in to the power.
However, disappointment is disappointment, and they are relatively satisfied with the final result.
Even if the poll tax cannot be abolished, there is a lot less exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and for some people, it is more than half as easy as before.
The squire magnates, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and gradually realized that something seemed to be wrong.
The imperial court wanted to implement a streamlined tax system half a year ago, but it was opposed by their joint efforts, and it was repeated several times since then, but it was also dismissed.
But who would have thought that in the past six months, after going around in a big circle, this matter has still been implemented.
In a certain mansion of a powerful person, one person showed a sudden look on his face and muttered: "Shouldn't this be the original purpose of the imperial court?" ”
"What a plan...... "In a wealthy family's house, another person had a calm face and said, "What a Wu Bo, are we stupid?" ”
After the dust settled, everyone who calmed down gradually realized that if the original purpose of the imperial court was never to reform taxes, but to streamline the tax system, then all of them fell for the tricks of the imperial court and His Majesty.
First put forward an unacceptable condition for them, and then greatly reduce the requirements, in contrast to the two, normal people will choose the second option.
But in fact, even the second request is something they are unwilling to accept, and it is only because of the comparison that it gives them the illusion of taking advantage of everything.
In fact, they still suffered.
Thinking about it this way, Wu Bo, the right attendant of the household department, was not thinking about them at all, this was originally a ploy of the imperial court, he dug a pit and let them jump in, and they actually had to be grateful to him......
"What a treacherous man!"
"The surname is Wu, I remember this account!"
……
Wu family, after the dust of the tax reform settled, the rumors of the outside world suddenly changed, Wu Bo listened to the report of the people in the house, his face sank like water, and he said angrily: "The surname is Qian, you old fox, are you still human!" ”
It wasn't until this moment that he understood why Tobe Shangshu didn't propose it himself, but gave him this "good opportunity".
He must have known at that time that this was a black pot, and Qian Shuo didn't want to carry this pot, so he asked Wu Bo to carry it......
When Wu Bo was drenching Qian Shuo's scolded dog blood at home, Qian Shuo sat firmly in Shangshuya, sipping tea leisurely and comfortably, and secretly made up his mind that he must stay away from the two cunning foxes of Tang Ning and King Huai in the future.
In the imperial study, Emperor Chen was smiling, and he was obviously in a good mood.
Once this decree is implemented, it can reduce the burden of the people and be conducive to the long-term peace and stability of the country, and the second is that the tax items are unified and simple, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources, and third, it can also add an amount of input to the treasury, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
What's more, the court has not paid any price for these three gains, and it is the most smoothly implemented regulation in the past few years.
This decree was implemented by King Huai for half a year, and there was no progress, and when Tang Ning took over, he was also at a loss, but under the combination of the two swords, they actually did things so beautifully in such a short period of time, which won his satisfaction.
Thinking of some possibility, he casually opened a fold, and when he saw what was written on it, his face sank.
"The missing spy who went to Qiandi to investigate......"
Although Qiandi does not belong to Chen Guo, it has a special location, and it can easily threaten Jiangnan, and everything in Qiandi must be in his sight, so that he can feel at ease.
He clenched his fists, looked at Wei Jian, and said, "Send more people to Qiandi to investigate......"
……
Tang Ning sat in the courtyard, Fang Xinyue sat opposite him boredly, flipping a flower rope in his hand, flipping and flipping, then threw it aside, and asked, "Brother Tang Ning, when will the little lady come back?" ”
Tang Ning shook his head and said, "I don't know either. ”
The old beggar often travels with a small one, but usually it is a month or two, and the longest is only three months, but this time he has been out for more than half a year and has not returned.
There are old beggars here, Tang Ning is not worried about the safety of Xiao, but they have not sent a letter back these days, which makes him feel a little uncertain.
The little one is as pure as a little white flower, if he taught him to become a female devil------ Tang Ning didn't dare to imagine this picture.
After all, when the old beggar was young, he had the experience of traveling all over the world and fighting all over the world.
I didn't receive a small letter, but I received another letter from Su Mei yesterday.
The affairs of Qiandi were more troublesome than she expected, and judging from the current situation, she would have to stay there for a long time.
Fang Xinyue held her chin, sighed lightly, and said, "Where the hell is she......"
……
A state in the state of Chu.
In a well-known sect, several figures limped out of the mountain gate, and one of the leaders bowed down and said, "Seniors go slowly." ”
A scruffy old man waved his hand and left with a tall girl,
Watching the two walk away, the door master breathed a sigh of relief and was relieved.
On the mountain road, the girl looked up at the old man and said, "Master, I want to go home......"
"It's only been more than half a year...... the old man looked at her, thought for a while, and said, "Ten more fights, and we'll go back to ......"
