Chapter 608: Nine Thousand Years Old

Just as Yang Xin was carrying out a series of reforms in the south, Qi also showed his minions.

His Majesty the Emperor is finally no longer dormant.

He can't lie dormant anymore, the era of cats indulging in love at the Academy of Sciences is over, and he really has to be responsible as an emperor.

In the past, Yang Xin made money for him, and then he had to be self-reliant, and he knew very well that if it wasn't for Yang Xin to raid his house outside these years, he would not be able to maintain the normal finances at all, and this war, including the war in Liaodong, almost exhausted the silver accumulated by nine thousand years old. In the future, there will definitely not be a windfall to refill his treasury, and since Yang Xin has a disaster, there should be no fake, he has to maintain the hundreds of thousands of troops in the north and south and face the next disaster......

No money to play a fart!

He and the nine thousand years old had to act.

First, customs.

The tax supervisor and eunuch were re-established in Guangzhou.

In Guangzhou Customs, the tax package was maintained, and the tax package amount was increased to 500,000 taels, and the Guangdong tax superintendent had additional control over all land customs in Guangdong, and the 9,000-year-old imposed a minimum limit of 700,000 taels on the Guangdong tax superintendent eunuchs.

Less than 700,000 taels of death!

Fujian also set up tax supervisors and eunuchs.

The limit is 500,000.

Less than 500,000 taels are also given death.

In short, with the tax-inclusive silver of the two major customs offices of Fuzhou and Zhangzhou, the Fujian tax supervisors and eunuchs must hand over 500,000 taels every year.

Second, the salt tax.

Emulating Yang Xin's salt system......

This is indeed a bit difficult, there are too many people involved in the salt industry, from the vassal king to the local gentry, countless people can parasitize on this biggest chain of interests.

Kai wants to reform.

After all, Yang Xin's salt industry system is directly controlled from the source, whether it is official salt or private salt, in the end it is nothing more than the flow of those salt farms, and too much manpower is required to check the transportation system, but it is much simpler to control the salt farms. By increasing taxes on wholesale prices, salt tax revenues can skyrocket in a very short period of time, and in fact, Yang Xin has calculated that the salt tax of two Huai alone is enough for the six military salaries under his quota.

In the past, the Lianghuai salt industry could also provide more than one million taels per year for the imperial court.

The salt tax is indeed very low.

But there are also various fines and confiscations for smuggling salt.

After Yang Xin took over, there was no problem in flipping through the source under strict control of the source.

If the salt farms in Changlu, Hedong, and Sichuan can control the source, it is estimated that there is no pressure to make two million a year, but the problem is that there are too many interest groups involved, so ......

So it is pestering Zheng

Third, the northern land should be re-cleared.

In particular, under the name of the vassal king, theoretically, the grange expanded by the vassal king himself was illegal, and the vassal king's land could only be given to the land, and these granges that were already illegal did not pay taxes is even more exaggerated. Therefore, it was necessary to re-clear these lands, and all the excess lands under the name of the feudal lord could be recognized, but they had to pay taxes according to ordinary people's land.

This one is very ruthless.

Everyone knows that the extra names of the vassal kings are actually the vast majority of them.

The gentry trickly sent it in the name of the vassal king to avoid taxes.

I can't play anymore.

The vassal kings would not object, because the income from these estates did not belong to him in the first place, but only to the local officials and gentry, plus the stewards of his grates.

It's none of his business.

And this time Qingzhang is not only the household department, but also includes the Jinyi guard and the ministers, which is regarded as a joint law enforcement of the three families, each province with a vassal king, set up a special Qingzhang eunuch, with the cavalry transferred from Liaodong, a province of 1,000 cavalry, and the direct iron cavalry that made trouble during the Qingzhang period. Obviously, the nine thousand years old understands Yang Xin's words very thoroughly, and no matter how much trouble he makes, he can still make trouble with an iron cavalryman wearing plate armor and carrying a musket? The eunuchs of the Wanli period just lacked protection, so they were killed in various ways, and now they directly take the cavalry over to see who dares.

Three, the one reform that was officially started in earnest, has already aroused opposition from both the government and the opposition.

And the Northern and Southern Qi are against it.

Fujian and Cantonese civil officials strongly oppose the re-establishment of permanent tax eunuchs, the past inspector-style tax supervisors have caused the people's resentment to boil, and now the evil government of Wanli has been restored, don't you want to be the holy lord Mingjun Your Majesty the Emperor?

Huguang, Jiangxi, Sichuan, and civil officials in the north, including the north, did not oppose Qingzhang.

After all, it was against the vassal king.

The vassal kings didn't come out to oppose it, and they had no reason to jump out, but they opposed the eunuch Qingzhang, especially with soldiers, what was this for? With the style of 9,000 years old, it is clear that this is premeditated, and it is estimated that the merchants of the Yang family have long known how many gentry have sent their land and property in the name of the vassal king in various places over the years. Nine thousand years old, this is clearly to lift the lid, and then increase the income, send eunuchs with cavalry to follow, that is, once there is a gentry to resist, directly learn Yang Xin's set of raids first.

It's certainly not a school

The next 9,000 years old will definitely not stop at the vassal king, and it is just an introduction to the domain king's field Qingzhang, and the real purpose must be the comprehensive Qingzhang of the northern field.

Yang Xin had already told him the results of the comprehensive clearance.

When Zhenjiang Prefecture was originally militiaized, all the fields were cleared, and the final result was that there was a quarter more land, and the emperor had long known the proportion of private hidden fields, and this time Yang Xin had similar results during the militiaization of various places.

The emperor made it clear that he was going to deal with this problem.

Check the vassal king's first.

In the end, a large area of land must have been deceitfully consigned and surrendered.

The vassal king himself can't seize the people's land, either to give the land, or not enough to eat, to find the emperor to reward some of the land, but in essence it is still to give land, and the rest is to sacrifice and send, both of which are illegal, if the vassal king is like this, then the emperor will be angry and check the gentry by the way, and it will all be revealed at once.

Absolutely not

This is in the interests of all the gentry.

In particular, the northern gentry were overwhelmingly landed gentry.

Therefore, the eunuch led the troops to disturb the people, it can't be like this, and this is not the job of the eunuch, this is the work of the household department, or the household department is responsible for the school

But nine thousand years old is not stupid, Tobe Qingzhang can clear a fart!

In the end, he casually added hundreds of thousands of acres to fool him.

No, the eunuchs have to be together......

"So far, there has been no result."

Lady Huang finally arrived in Nanjing.

"But our uncle is iron-hearted this time, no matter what, we must do this thing, giving official positions and fame tax exemptions is to take care of scholars, but long live Lord take care of them, and they can't get an inch. Originally, there were a lot of tax-free fields, enough for them to have fine clothes and food, and it was too much to engage in hidden fields, Taizu could still collect more than 30 million stone of land a year, but now the population is several times larger, and there are countless more fields, but there are only 25 million stones left in a year.

Who was there in Beizhili during the time of Taizu?

In the 26th year of Hongwu, there were only 1.9 million people in the whole Beizhili, and now there are more than 1 million people in the capital alone, and in the 26th year of Hongwu, there are nearly 60 million mu of land in Beizhili, and now there are less than 50 million left, and the population is several times more, and the fields are actually less than 10 million mu.

In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Beizhili could still collect 1.2 million stones, and now there are 590,000 left.

This is simply ridiculous! ”

Huang Ying continued.

"Our uncle is going to be strong!"

Yang Xindao.

"He can't help it, you cut off Jiang and Zhejiang, although the tax is not less for him, but those officials, eunuchs, and nobles who ran back from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, these have to be raised by the imperial court, and the long live Lord still has to build a water division, although the war outside the border is almost over, but those troops still have to be raised, plus those newly titled titles, these are all looking for him for money and food.

Your Majesty still has to engage in science.

In the end, in the past, he relied on you to raid his house outside, and now there is no windfall you bring back every year, so he can only think of another way, all he can think of is those few tricks, or increase the endowment, but now the north has been full of disasters, and the people will really have to rebel. He and Banzai Ye don't want to do this, then the only thing left is to check these hidden fields, in the end, 590,000 stone a year in Beizhili is indeed too low, and the entire Beizhili is less than 50 million mu of land, which is obviously much less than the actual one.

What's more, even if it is 50 million, an average acre of land will only pay one liter of outcropping.

Even if the average yield per mu is five buckets, it is only one-fortieth of the payment, but in fact, the common people complain about the heavy tax, in the end, there is too much land that does not pay the tax, and the rest is pressed on the head of the tax, so naturally they complain about the heavy tax, but the court receives little and pitiful.

Our uncle calculated, first in the north of Zhili gradually clear the zhang, after the completion of the gentry, simply the gentry one grain, not only the gentry, all the fields even the Huangzhuang, the vassal king Grange, in short, except for the guard, the others are all according to the people's land to pay grain, an acre of land is nothing more than a few liters, but also save all the loopholes. In addition, when the time comes, let you take the lead here, and increase the annual payment by 20%, which can be regarded as helping him, so that you can stop the mouths of those gentry. ”

Huang Yingdao.

"Yes, if he really does this, I will increase this two percent for him a year."

Yang Xindao.

The 9,000-year-old must be supported.

It's not worth mentioning to him anymore, in the end, what he is currently paying is according to the standards of the past, but the land of the guard house in the past is not taxed, he directly abolished the guard, this part is also in accordance with the militia system, it is estimated that Qi also found that he missed this, and it is not good to let him make up for it directly, just in this way euphemistically.

"But I'm afraid that those gentry won't do it, and in the end our uncle is also afraid, he has already transferred Man Gui to Jizhen, and transferred back Cao Wenzhao's younger brother Cao Wenyao from Liaodong, so that he can lead 3,000 cavalry to garrison the outer city with the deputy general of the Beijing camp, and also get Cao Wenzhao's nephew Cao Bianjiao to his side as his own guard, he is also afraid that someone will jump over the wall and attack him directly."

Huang Yingdao.

"I want to see, who else dares to oppose at this time, you ask your father to tell our uncle, our Yang family's Zhuang in the new city, he can call at any time, whoever dares to oppose will be killed, this kind of thing is more effective than anything else."

Yang Xin sneered.
