Fire consumption goes to the public......

This can only be a proposal, and the current execution power of the Ming Dynasty does not have the possibility of turning it into a reality.

The question is complex.

It's not just a question of official corruption.

Envy has been around for a long time, and it has always existed since ancient times.

Zhang Shu, the minister of Southern Liang, watched the domestic slaves transport grain to his house, and asked with some confusion where did all this grain come from? The latter replied that this was a levy of finches and rats, and Zhang Rate smiled happily and said, "What a big mouse and bird."

After reaching a whip, it was simplified to fire consumption.

That is, the loss of the silver recasting process is taxed, because at this time the silver is of inferior quality, and there must be a certain loss in the recasting once, which is generally between one percent and two percent, but the problem is that there is no clear regulation on this thing, and the amount of the local official is all based on one mouth, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is usually twenty or thirty percent, that is, more than ten times the actual loss.

This is not the highest, the highest is at the end of the Ma Ge period.

Eight money!

One tael of taxes and silver, the magistrate dared to increase the fire consumption by 80 percent.

Therefore, the officials all miss my brother Ma, and then regard the fourth elder brother who returned to the public as an enemy.

The reason why Hai Jui was unanimously hated by the officials and gentry was because he inspected the hidden fields, forcibly implemented a whip law, and then imposed a mandatory fire consumption of 2 percent in the area under his administration, and by issuing a notice to all the people, he not only made the officials below unable to make a profit, but also embarrassed those who collected 30 percent in other places.

Of course, he himself was poor.

But the problem is that there is only one Haigang Peak, and it is impossible to expect those officials to be Haigang Peak.

Local officials will definitely not accept the return of fire consumption to the public, raising incorruptible silver is a fixed number, fire consumption is arbitrary, they are not fools, in addition to the financial system of the Ming Dynasty is also flawed, fire consumption is still an important support for local finance. The finance of the Ming Dynasty was not top-down, the court and the local government were separated, the local finance was completely dependent on retention, and the highest proportion of survival was the field endowment, the emperor only paid salaries from one to nine officials, and other local expenditures depended on retention.

Even for the clan.

This is important.

A large part of the cost of the clan is also provided locally.

In the end, there was not much left, and a large part had to be given to the clan, which led to more and more strain local finances.

Therefore, whether it is a direct collection of grain for fire consumption, some of it is also used by officials for local affairs.

Hai Rui dared to forcibly collect two percent, also because he was the governor of Yingtian.

There is no shortage of money in the local finances.

Moreover, there were no vassal kings under the rule of the Ying Heavenly Governor.

However, although the vast majority of local officials collect fire, although they mainly enrich their own pockets, they still have to use some of it to subsidize local expenditures.

In short, the fourth elder brother can return to the public with fire, first, his control is enough, and the generals stationed in various places can completely control the place for him, and secondly, the local finances do not need to raise the clan, and the vast majority of the hardcore crops are in the capital, this is raised by the imperial court, although the source is the same, and the third and most important point is that the incorruptible silver he gives is high. The amount of incorruptible silver he gave was impossible to give at this time, a county order was thousands of taels, how could the Ming Emperor give it at this time, the Ming Dynasty is currently Taicang a year that millions of dollars are not enough to support officials, a product is 10,000 taels, calculate how many current a product of the staff?

If it is not high enough, the officials still loot the people.

What's more, they didn't stop them at such a high level, and it was only when the fourth elder brother was tough and greedy that it had some effect.

Officials wanted to abolish the system when they were old dogs, and although it was eventually continued, they quickly continued to loot under other names.

At this time, it can't be implemented.

As for Yang Xin to bring it up......

He just teases these old men every day.

In addition, it is true that the fire consumption is not allowed to return to the public, but it can set the fire consumption standard for various places, that is, to set an upper limit for the collection of fire consumption, you must know that this fire consumption collection rate has been like housing prices continue to grow steadily but never falls, it is currently the highest 30%, and Gu Yanwu recorded that there was already 50% at the end of the Ming Dynasty. This is definitely not possible, you have to set an upper limit, 10% or more, but 20% is not good, this range can be set in different places according to the situation.

For example, more than 5 percent of the re-endowment official fields in Songjiang and other places are very high.

And those lightly endowed with private land can appropriately relax the standards.

That's what he really wants to do.

Although it is certainly useless, it can be somewhat useful in the short term with the tax supervision inspection.

Of course, this requires a complex set of calculations, and it takes time to implement.

"Is there any news from Huang Shu?"

Looking at the backs of the elders leaving, Yang Xin asked Xu Xianchun.

"No, his family is the same as Zheng Zheng's family, he was expelled from the family tree before this, and we and Dongchang are spreading people to arrest him, but there has been no news of him."

Xu Xianchun said.

This result is not surprising.

It is simply unrealistic to expect to catch a man who is protected by those gentry these days.

Not to mention Huang Shu, it's useless for Jinyiwei to search for Zheng Zheng in the south for so long, people like this are fully capable of looking at the door, the gentry who support them in various places can provide them with protection, and the same local officials who support them, even if they know, they will ignore it, maybe at this time Huang Shu is drinking with the magistrate in the south of the gentry manor!

"It's all cunning!"

Yang Xin said with emotion.

This kind of thing has to be done by him.

Turning back to Jiangnan to continue the scourge, forcing those gentry to hand over people.

But this kind of thing can only be done by him himself, others can't play this, Huang Shu has to find out this person, just rush to the operation of his original history, and he can't let him escape the date with Ling Chi.

"Let's go, go see some good stuff!"

Yang Xin said.

"Uh, what's the good thing about Yang Dudu?"

Xu Xianchun said with a smile.

Yang Xin's good things are in a farmland outside the city.

Xu Xianchun, who followed him here, first saw Fang Tinglan, although she was still guarding filial piety, but both the officials and people in the capital had already regarded her as Mrs. Yang, and at this moment, Mrs. Yang was standing in front of Huang Ying and Yang Yanshi's only official concubine. A few house slaves were walking out with baskets of corn, while a few women outside were peeling corn around a pile of corn, and the peeled corn kernels were put directly into the bucket next to them, but these corns were not comparable to modern times.

It's more like the modern ones that have suffered.

The corn cobs are also palm-long, and the corn kernels on them are not satisfied, which is basically the appearance of those crooked melons and cracked dates in modern corn, which looks particularly shabby.

"How much is the production?"

Yang Xin got off the horse and said with great interest.

This is his corn test plot.

Fang Tinglan commanded the domestic slaves of the Fang family, and planted a total of 100 acres of corn with Yang Xinjiao's set in this experimental field, and strictly carried out scientific management.

The harvest began today.

Fang Tinglan and Xu Xianchun saluted.

"Two hundred and twenty pounds, but it hasn't dried yet."

Fang Tinglan said.

"Removing two percent of the water, in fact, it is more than 170 catties."

Yang Xin said.

These corn is actually semi-dry, 20% of the moisture is normal, so even if you use his set, the yield per mu of these corn is very pitiful, but this is artificially limited, if you change to the field or even the field, then the yield will definitely increase to more than 200 catties, or even close to 300, but such a field does not need to plant corn, is it better to plant rice? Even if you plant millet, you can harvest more than 200 catties, and this yield is after paying a lot of labor and scientific management, if you plant extensively, it is estimated that it will be 100 catties or even lower in this kind of middle field, which is basically the yield of corn per mu in the north at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

"Then it's not as good as wheat!"

Xu Xianchun said curiously.

It is indeed inferior to wheat, even inferior to millet, the yield of millet in the north has always been the highest, followed by sorghum, but sorghum is planted less, but millet is commonly planted, this thing in the watered upper field, the highest yield per mu can even reach two stones, but this number is the past ten years of the Xiaoice period. The average amount of grain produced by farmers in ancient China was the highest in the time of the old dog, which was studied by experts, but it was followed by the Wanli time, which was scolded miserably.

The two are almost identical.

But the climate has actually begun to change in the middle and late Wanli periods.

"After harvesting, we have to continue planting wheat!"

Huang Ying, who was more familiar with him, said.

"Two ripe?"

Xu Xianchun was stunned.

"Then it's different!"

He went on to say.

Indeed, the current technical conditions of corn yield is indeed not high, a hundred catties is a common situation, this yield is even lower than a season of wheat, although the low is not much, but far lower than a season of millet, but the problem is that it makes one crop into two crops, winter wheat such a year yield is one hundred, but after adding corn it becomes a steady harvest of more than two hundred catties of grain per year.

And even if a single crop is millet, such a field is less than one stone per year.

"This uses less seeds!"

Huang Ying said.

Indeed, this is a significant advantage.

In fact, through two crops a year, the original Nakata becomes Ueta, and even if the field is lowered, it will not be able to harvest three or four buckets within a year.

Of course, the yield of corn in the lower field will be lower.

But even if you collect fifty catties, it will also make Shimoda change the original output of Nakata!

And Yang Xin's seed itself is an experiment, he is more mainly to improve the seeds, so the yield will continue to increase, in short, this is to be promoted as much as possible in the future, although the yield of sweet potatoes is higher, but that thing really can't be used as food, and then those fields in Tianjin are all changed to rice and wheat rotation.

"But how do you eat this?"

Xu Xianchun said.

"Corn stubble porridge, corn flour cakes, wowotou mixed with wild vegetables, yes, the prisoners in the edict will eat this in the future."

Yang Xin said.

The melodious singing rang out in his ears...... ntent
