After Wang Hao's words, the rest of the ministers looked at each other, and there was a look of confusion in each other's eyes, not that Wang Hao was wrong, and Wang Hao was too right, land is the foundation of the country, but for them, the princes and ministers, how could it not be, this is their fate, so for a qiē reform about land, it is a very sensitive topic.

It is precisely because of this that in order to avoid becoming the target of public criticism, at this initial stage, he really did not dare to involve too much land reform, if this is the case, he is likely to follow in the footsteps of Wang Anshi.

However, he never expected that these words would come out of Wang Huang's mouth, which is really incomprehensible.

Song Huizong sighed and said, "There is such a thing? ”

Wang Hao nodded and said: "Back to the emperor, this matter is true, Weichen has no lies, if this stubborn disease is not solved, it will be very unfavorable to the country and the people." ”

Song Huizong asked: "Then Aiqing has a solution?" ”

Wang Hao suddenly glanced at Li Qi and said: "This matter involves economic construction, and Weichen hopes to hear the views of the economic envoy first." ”

Song Huizong looked at Li Qi and said, "Li Qi." ”

"Wechen is here."

"What do you think about this?"

All eyes were on Richie.

Day. What do you want me to say about this kind of offending thing! Li Qi was slightly stunned, and said: "Back to the emperor, Weichen has not come up with a solution for the time being. ”

Song Huizong glanced at him with a little dissatisfaction, and said, "As an economic envoy, you should do your best to solve such stubborn diseases." ”

"Weichen is derelict in his duties, and he asks the emperor to forgive him." Li Qi hugged his fists.

Song Huizong snorted, and then said to Wang Huang: "Does Qing have a solution?" ”

Wang Hao smiled slightly: "Weichen has a way, so I don't know if it's feasible." ”

"Oh, then you can tell me quickly."

Wang Hao said: "It is a disease that should be cured, and the symptom of this stubborn disease lies in the agricultural tax, so Weichen thinks that to solve this stubborn disease, the agricultural tax should be reformed." ”

When everyone heard this, their faces tightened, if this was said from someone else's mouth, they would have come out to oppose it a long time ago, but you must know that the person standing in front of them is the first person in the court, and they dare not speak out!

Li Qi faintly felt that something was not good-but he couldn't tell what the specific problem was, and looked up at Qin Hui, who also happened to look over, and the two made eye contact, both of them felt bad.

"Reform the agricultural tax?"

Song Huizong frowned slightly, as an emperor, he naturally knew that the agricultural tax had always been a very sensitive topic, and now it was high enough, if it was increased again, I am afraid that the peasants would not be able to bear it, but if it was reduced, he didn't want to, and asked: "How to reform?" ”

Wang Huang Zhengse said: "Implement the tax on increasing fields. ”

I see? Li Qi's eyes widened, and as soon as he heard the name of this tax, he understood that he came to the secret way, in this way, those big landlords will suffer, and it will be very unfavorable to him Wang Huang, what is he doing this for?

But except for Li Qi, the rest of the people didn't understand, so they could only continue to watch Wang Hao's performance.

"Masuda tax?" Song Huizong asked, "What is the tax on increasing fields?" ”

The corners of Wang Huang's mouth hooked, and he said with a smile: "Back to the emperor, this tax on increasing land is very simple, in short, it is to decide the tax to be paid according to the amount of land occupied. ”

Li Bangyan suddenly said: "Wang Xiang, isn't this the case now?" It is impossible to pay the same tax on 100 acres of land as on 1 acre. ”

Please, how can it be so simple, his move is obviously aimed at you big landlords, you are going to be played by him this time. Richie's face became more and more solemn.

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "Zuo Xiang's words are wrong. Nowadays, it is taxed according to the acre, if one acre of land has to pay a tax of ten yuan, then ten acres of land has to pay a tax of one hundred yuan. However, if it is calculated according to the tax on increasing land, then one acre of land may only need to pay five cents, but if it is ten acres of land, it will have to pay the same money, or even more. In other words, the more land you own, the more tax you pay per acre, the more you pay per acre, and the other way around, it decreases, and the peasant's tax can increase or decrease according to the amount of land you own. ”

When everyone heard it, this is still worth it, don't you know if you want to rectify us, who in the temple does not have hundreds of acres of land in the house now, if this kind of addition, then who can stand it.

Li Bangyan smiled and said sarcastically: "If this is the case, then Wang Xiang may pay the most taxes." ”

Wang Hao shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's okay, since I proposed this method, I am naturally willing to set an example." Why don't you take a long-term view, if you own more land, then you will earn more, and the corresponding taxes will be nothing to you. ”

Li Bangyan snorted: "Of course, this amount of money is nothing to Wang Xiang, but for other people, it is very unfair, why do you only teach five wen per acre, and I have to pay one hundred wen or more per acre." Saying that, he arched his hand towards Song Huizong and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this move is absolutely inappropriate. ”

Wang Hao also hugged his fist towards Song Huizong and said: "Your Majesty, if this law is implemented, there are four major benefits, first of all, it can effectively prevent land annexation, because many large landlords have hundreds of acres of land at home, but many of them are deserted, which is equivalent to waste." If a tax was imposed, it would undoubtedly force them to reclaim the wasteland or give it to others. Second, it also reduces the burden of the poor people, divides part of their burden to the rich who can afford it, narrows the gap between the rich and the poor, and solves the current situation of poverty and weakness, which coincides with the economic construction of the economy; Third, for the imperial court, this will undoubtedly increase tax revenue, and now that the treasury is empty, this move can just relieve the pressure on the treasury; Finally, this can also cooperate with the economic reform, balance the agricultural business, and prevent the transfer of peasants to merchants, which will benefit the country and the people without harm.

Song Moquan suddenly stood up and said, "Although Wang Xiang's words are good, those rich people and landlords will definitely not accept it. ”

With Li Bangyan and Song Moquan taking the lead, some people began to stand up against it one after another, they are all big landlords, and Wang Hao's move is really harmful to them.

Wang Hao snorted coldly and said: "That's not up to them, this qiē is all caused by their greed and selfishness, wanton annexation of land, speculation and sale of land, concealment of land, if it continues like this, my Great Song Dynasty will be cut off in their hands, the prime minister owns more land than Er, etc., and it stands to reason that the prime minister pays much more taxes than you, and this prime minister does this not for himself, but for my Great Song Dynasty, for the people of the world." If you say this, you are not a thief. ”

These words were impassioned, righteous and righteous, where did those ministers dare to make a sound, as if if they were openly rebelling if they objected, because the incident happened suddenly, without warning, and it was brought up by Wang Huang, so everyone was reluctant in their hearts, but they couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while.

Song Huizong glanced at the ministers dissatisfied, and then smiled at Wang Hao: "I am very moved to worry about the country and the people." ”

Wang Hao bowed and said: "The emperor has won the award, this is the duty of Weichen." ”

"Okay."

Song Huizong nodded with a smile, and said to Li Qi again: "Li Qi, as an economic envoy, what do you think of this law?" ”

As soon as these words came out, a cold gaze shot at Li Qi.

Exercise! The key to this matter is not what I think, but what you think, his field tax is much more fierce than Wang Anshi's Fangtian tax, Emperor Shenzong can't stand it, can you stand it? Li Qi was on his back, and said cautiously: "Weichen also thinks that Wang Xiang's method is very feasible, but this matter is very important, and it must be considered in the long run." ”

Wang Hao raised his hand and said, "Hey." Now the peasants are already complaining, if you don't change it, I am afraid that it will be very unfavorable to your reform, and I think it should be implemented immediately. ”

You've already decided, and you're asking me what I'm doing, anyway, it's a good thing, even if those rich people are against you, they're against you, I'll just stand aside and reap the profits. Li Qi smiled: "What Wang Xiang said is true. ”

Song Huizong also felt that this method was good, firstly, it could gain the support of those ordinary people, and secondly, it could also increase the income of the imperial court, so he nodded and said: "I also think that this method is very feasible, okay, I have done it on time." Wang Aiqing, I'll leave this matter to you. ”

Wang Hao saluted and said, "Your Majesty, if this matter is handed over to Weichen to do, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate." ”

Song Huizong said: "How do you say this? ”

Wang Hao said: "If it is only the agricultural tax reform, then Weichen is naturally willing to share the worries of the emperor and dare not say anything, but it also involves the economic construction of the economic envoy, so Weichen Jian Yiì handed over this matter to the economic envoy to handle, so that he can control the overall situation and be foolproof." ”

Depend on! You're hurting people. Li Qi now understands that Wang Huang's move is to sabotage his change and give more people a strong reason to block the new law, and it is foreseeable that once this law is implemented, the number of opponents will definitely increase exponentially, and Li Qi will not be able to move an inch. Li Qi can be regarded as seeing Wang Hao's power, and he also understands why Cai Jing was defeated in his hands in the first place.

Suddenly, a person stood up and said: "Weichen also thinks that it should be so, if the economic envoy does not dare to take on this important responsibility, then why not simply hand over the Commerce Bureau to Wang Xiang." ”

This person is Cai You.

Cai and Wang also stood up to support the two.

This guy finally didn't hold me back. Wang Hao was complacent in his heart, but he said: "Hey, the British public is in love, if you talk about the economy, I might as well be an economic envoy." ”

Song Huizong said with a smile: "I have absolute confidence in Li Qi's ability, Li Qi, this matter will be handled by your Commerce Bureau, you don't want to disappoint me." ”

md。 Lao Tzu can be killed this time. Li Qi squeezed out a smile and said, "Weichen takes the order." ”

Qin Hui turned his head to look at Li Qi, his eyes were full of horror, I have to say that Wang Hao's trick to kill people with a knife is too ruthless, which undoubtedly forces Li Qi into a desperate situation and is in a dilemma.

As soon as Song Huizong's golden mouth opened, the matter fell to the ground.

Gao Yu and Bai Shizhong looked at each other, and couldn't help but shake their heads, both saying that they were not optimistic about this, because Li Qi was going to face unprecedented pressure.
