Chapter 241: This bad old man is very bad
"Second, no more tax inspectors should be dispatched."
Han Yi said.
"Well, didn't I already tell Ye Taishan about this question before? It will no longer be like Emperor Shenzong who sent tax supervisors and mine supervisors to various places, but instead the tax supervisors who inspect local taxes by internal officials, these people will not interfere in taxes, but only inspect and supervise the tax situation of local officials. ”
Yang Xin said.
"That's what I'm talking about."
Shi Jikai said with a smile.
"Old Shi Pavilion, you are too unconfident."
Yang Xin said.
"Huh!"
Shi Jikai directly reported hehe.
Obviously, Yang Xin's careful thinking has been well understood by these old foxes, this bastard does not send tax supervisors to harm the people, but to harm officials, those tax supervisors who inspect local taxes will not cause public resentment to boil, but will cause officials to make a bad life. This little bastard is very insidious, and his actions will not only not cause the little emperor to lose his income because he has no tax supervisor, but will also ruin the alliance between the local officials and the gentry.
Those tax inspectors persecuted them in the name of their ineffective tax collection, and in the end the officials could only turn to improve the tax according to the law, and in the end it was the local government that was unlucky, but this was not the tax supervisor persecuting the gentry, but the local officials persecuting the gentry.
This is to transfer the hatred of the people.
"We already have a supervising imperial history in the Ming Dynasty, and we already have a patrol system, and those patrols around the country have the responsibility of supervising the imperial history, including inspecting taxes, and there is no need for tax supervisors to do more."
Han Yi said.
"Huh!"
Yang Xin also reciprocated.
The Bafu Patrol has a fart use, which is nothing more than a royal history to wander around for a year, collect some bribes, and then come back to pick up soft persimmons and impeach a few.
In fact, civil officials are rarely impeached, and those inspectors love to bully the vassal king, so there are often inspectors who righteously refuse the vassal king's bribe and come back to report their illegality, but to say that the inspectors report civil officials and even local wealthy families, this is actually not the focus of their work.
"Yang Yanshi can't believe in the imperial history?"
He Zongyan said.
"Elder He Ge, since we are open and honest, of course we have to speak quickly, since you can't trust the internal officials, we can't trust the imperial history, so let's just compromise a little."
Yang Xin said.
"Let's recruit from the people!"
He went on to say.
"What's the difference between that and the internal officials? Unless recruiting students. ”
Zhu Guozuo said.
"But how is that different from the Imperial History?"
Yang Xin said.
There is no difference between recruiting students and imperial history.
Of course, there is no restriction on the recruitment of origins, so it is no different from the eunuchs, and the nine thousand years old only need to recruit a bunch of cronies in the capital and release them.
"You don't worry about us, we don't worry about you, this problem is a bit difficult to do, but the tax supervisor must be dispatched, and it must be sent by the celebrant supervisor, or we can also have all parties, an internal official is the positive, a civil official is the deputy, and an officer is the deputy, after all, the tax superintendent also needs the protection of the army, and then being thrown into the Yangtze River, then it will make me very unhappy."
Yang Xin said.
A bunch of old fellows looked at each other.
They are not afraid that the tax inspector will rectify the tax revenue, but that the tax supervisor will persecute the officials, and if there is a civil servant who can supervise them.
It's not a bad thing to simply improve taxes.
Because the tax is into the Taicang treasury, the simple eunuch will definitely go into the emperor's small treasury, if you can use this way, greatly increase the income of the household, then it is not a bad thing, after all, you must first have the ability to make money, and there is no silver in the Taicang treasury to make a fart.
"Yes!"
Han Yi nodded and said.
"Third, disband the Dangkou Army."
He went on to say.
"Yes!"
Yang Xin readily agreed.
A bunch of old foxes looked at each other, obviously they didn't expect this guy to be so cheerful.
"Elders, don't misunderstand, I don't want to keep the Dangkou Army, I paid for what they ate and drank, and the Ministry of War has given me a silver tael of military salaries over the years? You think I'd love to keep them? I really have to keep these people when I need them, and I don't want to keep them when they are available, and now the river at the mouth of Dagu is about to be dug up, and as long as the Dangkou army is completed, it can be disbanded.
Of course, the Gegu coastal defense battalion is another matter.
As for those in the south, except for the Jinyi Guard, a battalion is needed to be stationed in Henglin, and the others will also be disbanded after this case is over. ”
Yang Xin said.
"What about after the disbandment?"
Zhu Guozuo said vigilantly.
"Of course, it is a proper resettlement, people have contributed to the imperial court, and they can't be abandoned when they run out, those who dig rivers in Tianjin are for the people, and those in the south who go to Fengyang to open up wasteland and farm for the people."
Yang Xin said.
A bunch of old foxes at the same time.
Of course, they have nothing to say about this.
They can't say that they must all be killed and the people are eliminated, right?
They also knew that the Apocalypse would not give up these useful thugs, especially the group of troops in the south, which ran hundreds of miles on foot from time to time, which could be said to be at the elite level, but since it was disbanded for the people, then there would always be a way to deal with it, and it was already surprising that Yang Xin could readily agree to this matter, and there was no need to continue to dwell too much on this issue.
"Fourth, Wuxi landless property is classified as Guantian."
Liu Yixian said.
"You guys are bullying Yang, do you think Yang doesn't understand what is here?"
Yang Xin said with a smile.
This bad old man is very bad.
In fact, Su Songchang and even Jiahu and Hangzhou have a very large number of official fields, among which the highest proportion of Songjiang Mansion is even as high as 80% of official fields, so the question is, since Songjiang is 80% of the official fields, how did Xu Jie, a super landlord with hundreds of thousands of acres of land come about?
Very simple.
Guantian and Mintian are only taxed differently.
But Guantian is not owned by the government.
This problem has to start with Jia Rudao, his public land law is mainly implemented in Susong, resulting in a large amount of land nationalized, the landlord needs to bear the special official land rent, and then the landlord rents to the tenants, and finally becomes the second landlord, after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongols do not care about these messy things, resulting in a lot of chaos in this area, but the nature of the official land of these lands remains unchanged.
Then the Ming Dynasty was established, and Zhu Yuanzhang found that this was a good way to restrain Haoqiang.
He read according to the book, and asked the owners of these lands to pay the heavy endowment with official fields, and the Ming Dynasty's private land endowment was actually very low, but this kind of official land was up to seven buckets, and seven buckets of one acre of land were even as high as one stone, of course, the number of more than one stone was very small, and a county was one hundred and ten acres, and Zhu Yuanzhang also carried it forward.
But......
The landlord is actually still the original owner.
It's just that these lands need to be repaid to become official land in the government registration.
But the land can be bought and sold and rented, but it can't be taxed according to the land.
In the end, 80 percent of the farmland in Songjiang and 60 percent in Suzhou are actually all official land, and they need to pay a tax of up to seven buckets and an average of three buckets.
But this has not affected these places.
Because of the high yield of farmland in this area, the yield of seven buckets of fields starts with three stones, and there is also the supplement of winter wheat and rape, even the highest seven buckets account for only a quarter, and the landlord rents seventy percent to the tenants, and the rest of his own is still more than the northern landlord per mu.
It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of this to weaken his financial resources to the greatest extent, and at the same time used the heavy endowment of official land here to offset the tax gap caused by the low endowment in other places where the yield per mu was not even a stone, and finally Suzhou alone undertook nearly one-tenth of the country's land endowment, even more than the vast majority of provinces.
Later, a rumor was formed that Zhu Yuanzhang had a small belly and chicken intestines, because this area was Zhang Shicheng's territory and deliberately did so.
But in fact, the government of Suzhou paid very little tax on the land.
The highest is two buckets, the average is five liters, with this local output is basically 2.5 percent, Jiajing years clearly recorded, Suzhou Prefecture annual land endowment as high as 2.8 million stones, of which only 150,000 stone is handed over by private land, that is to say, Suzhou Prefecture accounts for nearly 40 percent of the number of farmland private land to bear only these.
The reassignment is just an official field.
But this heavy endowment is not worth mentioning compared to the landlord's rent, because the ground rent is actually two stones away from the highest starting point of eight buckets.
That's why the militia is so happy.
Their forty percent rent used to cost two stones.
In fact, even in the real sense of the word, that is, the school land that the government collects rent, usually has to pay about one stone and a half in rent.
But this system is only Zhu Yuanzhang has enough control.
At that time, an official and the household department partnered to try to fool Zhu Yuanzhang, and collected taxes on the official land and the people's land, and there were a bunch of big truths in Balabala, but Zhu Yuanzhang directly sent someone to check his family's land, and then found that the vast majority of his family's land was official land.
But as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang died, he was gradually played bad.
These official fields can be traded freely, the official fields are sold as private fields, and the emperor is far away from bullying, the court officials are all their own people, and the local officials are all in a group, and the official fields are traded as private fields, and the official government will be recorded as civilian fields after they are in their hands, as for where did the original official fields go......
The landlord fled.
We don't know exactly where we've gone.
In short, after playing for more than 100 years, by the time of Jiajing, all the land of the landlords in this area had become private land, on the contrary, the land of the yeoman farmers was official land, the rich enjoyed low to pitiful taxes and high yields, and the yeoman farmers bore the heavy burden, and finally the yeoman farmers began to flee.
The essence is no different from Mintian.
Liu Yixiao wanted Wuxi to return the land to the official land, that is, to destroy those militiamen, they still paid the taxes of the imperial court, but the time to set the standard must be the highest, so let them pay seven buckets, and then add fire consumption, plus Liao salary and poll tax, plus all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and they have nothing to do to go out to serve a conscription, and in less than two years, they will be able to play the militia to the same extent as the military households.
"No, that's Huangtian, the emperor's own."
Yang Xin said very simply.
