Chapter 22 Exemption from Poll Tax

On behalf of the county government, the seat of the temporary court of Yingfusu, in the court, Yingfusu and hundreds of civil and military officials discussed the decision to exempt the poll tax.

After all, people have a strong ability to adapt, although there are many officials and generals at the beginning, they don't understand and don't adapt, but after looking at the detailed grades and detailed functions and powers, they can only be tough to adapt.

Ying Fu Su sat on the throne mightily, looking at the hundreds of civil and military officials, the leader of the hundred civil and military officials, Captain Meng Tian was the first on the left, Prime Minister Meng Yi was the first in the middle, Qin Zhan Yushi was the first on the right, and the officials and generals of all grades behind the three of them were in the back row according to the rank of officialdom...

All the civil and military officials knelt in the main hall, looked at Ying Fusu seriously, and waited for Ying Fusu to speak.

Ying Fusu looked at Meng Yi mightily, "Prime Minister Meng Yi, half a year ago, I promised the people of Qin to exempt the poll tax, but my time and energy were all spent on stabilizing the court and stabilizing the officials of the counties, and now I have a little time, I feel that the agenda of exempting the poll tax is about to be launched now, and the people of the fourteen counties are looking at the policies of the imperial court!"

Meng Yi stood up respectfully and bowed, "Your Majesty, the new policy of exempting the poll tax, Weichen has already done the paperwork, and there are steps to implement it, after all, there are many people in the fourteen counties, and it will take a little time to implement the new policy to the village."

Qin Wen, the imperial envoy, came to Prime Minister Meng Yi and stretched out his hands, Meng Yi hurriedly took out the document from his arms and respectfully handed it to Qin Wen, Qin Wen took the paperwork, turned around and came to Ying Fusu, and respectfully raised the document above his head.

After Ying Fusu took the paperwork, Qin Wen stepped aside.

Ying Fusu flipped through the bamboo book and read it carefully, not to mention, the above measures are very reasonable.

Ying Fusu handed the document to Qin Wen and asked Qin Wen to show it to the civil and military officials, Qin Wen took the document and began to look at the civil and military officials, and an hour later, the civil and military generals and generals, mainly the civil ministers, have already passed the eyes, and there are many military generals who are illiterate...

Ying Fusu sat up straight and looked at the civil and military officials, "All the civil and military officials have also seen the implementation of the steps to exempt the poll tax, Meng Yi's method is good, the first step is to thoroughly calculate the fourteen counties in the north, how many people, how many households, the second step, start to register and record, let the court know whether the local officials have implemented it to each household, and the third step, the central court will send people to the counties and towns, and even the counties and villages for verification."

Ying Fusu breathed a sigh of relief, "Let the local officials go to the bottom to check first, and then the central court will send someone to review, although it will take some time, but the number of inspections is relatively clear, what do the ministers and generals think?"

The civil and military officials discussed, and finally after discussing for half an hour, it was finally decided.

Win Fusu smiled with satisfaction, after the exemption of the poll tax, the people have a chance to breathe, and then distribute the land later, if the tax is reduced, the people can really recuperate, Win Fusu understands very well that the current Qin Dynasty is very dangerous, the main thing is that the people have no food to eat, the vast majority of the land of the Qin State is occupied by the landlord's old wealth, as well as the nobles, the people work for the landlord's old wealth, and the nobles work, not to mention that there is surplus food after a year, it is already good not to be starved to death.

Ying Fusu knows that the first task is to exempt the poll tax, change it to a household tax, reduce the burden of the people, and then recycle the land to the court and distribute it to the people.

For the landlords and nobles, Ying Fusu hated them very much, and he could only be ruthless with these moths, and he would not dare to resist until he dared to resist! Anyway, the court that won the Fusu is no different from the newly built court, if it is completely stabilized in the future, it will be difficult to reform again, there are too many obstacles, and there are too many interest groups!

Ying Fusu pressed Meng Yi's hand, and after Meng Yi bowed slightly, he walked back to his position and sat down on his knees.

Ying Fusu looked at Minister of Agriculture Xiying, "Minister Xiying, in the past six months since the establishment of the imperial court, the lower-level officials of all ministries have basically been in place, and now we have to see the combat effectiveness of the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, and whether they have the confidence to complete the task"?

Minister Xi Ying, Minister of Agriculture, hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Weichen promises to complete the task, please rest assured, Your Majesty, the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture are all in place, waiting for the task of the imperial court, full of enthusiasm."

Ying Fusu laughed, "Okay, I like to hear this, but if I can say it beautifully, if I can do it beautifully, then my subordinates will see the real chapter, I will wait and see"! Ying Fusu asked Xiying to return to his position and sit down on his knees.

Ying Fusu came to be interested, "The generals and ministers, the poll tax is changed to a household tax, this matter does reduce the burden of the people, but it is not enough, far from enough, I plan to let the landlords and nobles have land fiefs, take back the imperial court, and then distribute it to the people, the imperial court collects a part of the harvest tax, and most of the harvest is given to the people."

"Generals and ministers, I think everyone also knows that the people fought from the Six Kingdoms to the unification of the Qin State, and my father sent 600,000 troops to conquer the Lingnan aliens, conquer the northern Xiongnu, build the Great Wall, build the equator, build the river, and conscript millions of criminals and slaves of the people, causing the people to be angry, causing the people to be miserable, and causing the rebel army to oppose the imperial court."

The more Ying Fusu spoke, the more excited he became, and he felt a little unstoppable, so he quickly stopped and calmed down, "So generals and ministers, the imperial court must let the people eat and drink enough, only when the people support the imperial court, can the Qin State become stronger and stronger"!

The ministers and generals in the main hall were infected by Ying Fusu's words, and they all felt that what they said was quite right, of course, this is related to the fact that the imperial court has just been formed, these ministers have no protégés, and they don't have too many interests, plus Ying Fusu is very strong!

Meng Yi stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty is so right, the current Qin State can't stand the toss, and the people urgently need to recuperate, Your Majesty Shengming"!

All the civil and military officials hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming, Your Majesty Shengming"!

Ying Fusu waved his hand, "All the generals and ministers, whether the court can be strong or not depends on all the generals and ministers, only if the court works together, I think anything can be done"!

The generals and ministers are slightly warm in their hearts.

Qin Zhan, the imperial historian, said respectfully, "Your Majesty, if you are a landlord and nobleman, you are unwilling to hand over the land"...

Before Qin Zhan finished speaking, Ying Fusu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Those who oppose the imperial court, those who oppress the people, kill"!

The generals and ministers were shocked in their hearts, and the generals and ministers felt that they were more and more afraid of winning Fusu, and winning Fusu was becoming more and more imperial!

The emperor was angry, the blood flowed into the river, and the corpses were mountainous.
