Luo Zhaoyun put forward the proposal of appeasing the refugees, resuming production, and lightening the tax in various places, and the Tongping chapter affairs of the political affairs hall and the governor's participation in the political affairs department, etc., all nodded in agreement, and the general direction is correct, and the specific implementation needs to be implemented by the administrative departments of the political affairs hall, the household department, and the administrative departments of various counties, prefectures, and counties.

"The sage of the world, no more than Your Majesty, these opinions, the minister agrees." Wen Boyan was the first to speak.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others also felt that His Majesty's words were very reasonable, and they could see farther than them.

Even Wei Zheng, who has always been resolute and will not flatter, nodded frequently on the side, and very much agreed with His Majesty's statement of 'lightly repaying the meager endowment' and 'reettling the homeless'.

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, it is by no means like the previous dynasty, it is too hasty and too violent, Your Majesty can realize this, it is the luck of this dynasty and the blessing of the people!" Wei Zheng's words were more fair, and the others were nodding when they heard it.

Luo Zhaoyun listened to these praises and didn't take it to heart, because he listened to the compliments of his courtiers every day, and he had some immunity, whether it was from the heart or perfunctory, what he wanted to solve now was the problem of taxation.

"The immediate priority is to collect more taxes from the gatekeepers, gentry, and wealthy families. I also know that some of the gate valves have existed for a hundred years, and some have been for decades, and over the generations, the clans have branched out, and the power is intricate, or they have become officials in the imperial court, or they have occupied one side of the land and become a hero, and for many years because of this and that, they have not paid taxes, and they have collected more tenants' fields and sheltered a large number of people, which are all obstacles to prevent the imperial court from being taxed. ”

"In addition, some merchants and wealthy people should also raise some taxes, according to the scale of family property, business scale, tax collection at different levels, business of different sizes, taxes are naturally high and low, clearly stipulated, so as not to be added or reduced at will when the local implementation is carried out."

Luo Zhaoyun is considerate, he is familiar with history, and naturally knows that it is very unfair to collect taxes according to capitation, because the poor people, although the family population is large, but the arable land is less, plus all kinds of family business, for the marriage of his son, etc., it takes a lot of money, and there is not much money and rations to save.

On the contrary, those squires and powerful people, through various shortcuts, occupied large tracts of land and property, and did not pay taxes, and finally made the wealth and taxes of the people not enter the imperial court, but were filtered and absorbed by the power of the local gentry, and in the long run, the social problems of a dynasty will become more and more serious, and finally lead to disintegration.

The method of comparison is to implement the practice of 'apportioning the land into the mu', not to levy the poll tax, but to rely on the land as the standard, whoever cultivates more land will pay more, and that's it. In this way, the surplus labor force of the people who have little cultivated land can not be released, and they do not have to rely too much on tenants to cultivate the land, but become handicraft laborers, thus promoting the development of commerce and handicrafts.

After hearing this, the rest of the people looked somewhat unnatural, although they had already guessed that His Majesty would be dissatisfied with the gate valve, but they didn't expect that His Majesty was going to open the door valve at the beginning of the country.

Wei Zheng is not a gate valve background, just from the previous dynasty ordinary small official family, the family road has declined, has been reduced to a cold family, people to middle age, these years are used to see the smell of Zhumen wine and meat, the road has frozen bones, the door valve is powerful, quite hateful, said "This time and that time, since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Northern Zhou Eight Pillars, as well as large and small ministers and wealthy families, do have an impact on the court laws, policies, etc., not to be deployed. ”

"But after the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the impact of the righteous army, the destruction of the war, most of the ancient gate valves have withered, and the power is not as good as before, some of the older generation figures, into the loess, only some middle-level officials left over from the Sui Dynasty are now enabled, but they cannot be as influential as before, as long as Your Majesty opens the door widely, increases the number of places in the imperial examination, and establishes schools, recruits students, and then selects and awards officials to fill vacancies, the trouble of the gate valve can be gradually removed, and at that time the tax collection should be very small."

The implication is that the immediate taxation of the gate valve may cause fluctuations in the imperial court and be detrimental to stability. But in the long run, the gate valve will be weakened gradually.

Luo Zhaoyun nodded, and also knew that the gate valve power had indeed reached the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and after the chaos in the world, it had been reduced a lot, which also created conditions for the peaceful and prosperous era in the early Tang Dynasty, but some unfavorable factors were not completely eradicated, and it was also the beginning of the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the local division was severe, and the system had big problems but did not introspect, and finally the turmoil intensified and completely perished.

"Wei Qing's words are reasonable, the matter of the gate valve, is not in a hurry to achieve a momentary success, but I promote the idea of collecting taxes according to the number of acres, rather than the number of people, but it will not change, I have given this policy a name, called 'apportionment into the mu', you have to discuss it when you go back, and retrieve the population of the people, measure the cultivated land in each county, and the specific ones are in the hands of the gentry, you have to find out, and then it is easy to implement. Once this matter works well, if the previous mode of tax collection by the imperial court is changed, the merit is in the present generation, the benefit is in the future, and it will be of great benefit to the country and the people. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Zhu Suiliang and others were still thinking about the feeling of 'spreading the ding into the mu' in their minds, and suddenly heard the words of His Majesty behind him, and they couldn't help but bend over and arch their hands and said: "The ministers have done their best, and they have no slackness!" ”

"That's good!" Luo Zhaoyun glanced at a few people, and said seriously: "Among you, most of the young people are only thirty years old, although their experience and experience are limited, but they can be trusted with their talents and abilities. But Zhu Qing can't be complacent, let alone be arrogant to other officials because of this, thinking that if you get the king's attention, you will be rude to hundreds of officials, and I will not allow such an incident to happen. ”

"Your Ministers understand." Everyone nodded yes.

Luo Zhaoyun thought for a while, and said: "You go back and study, the current shortage of the treasury, what I mean, start from Huainan first, control the salt fields in Huainan and Huaibei, and make fine salt according to the method of salt refining in the northwest according to the method of refining salt in Huainan and Qilu, so that you can earn a lot of extra money, in addition, the mulberry, tea, textiles, etc., there must be restored as soon as possible, and large-scale production to meet the needs of various places, and the excess can also trade with Fanbang, exchange gold and silver currency and scarce things in the Central Plains." ......”

Luo Zhaoyun has said all kinds of ideas, and how to implement and operate it needs to be studied and discussed by the officials of these political halls, combined with the current situation in the Central Plains, as well as the acceptance of the people, formulate a plan and speed up the implementation.
