Zhao Kai frowned when he heard this, and said, "You go on." (Please search, the novel is better and faster!)"

Qin Hui said: "In fact, many people know this phenomenon, every time I change the law against the land, it fails, and the minister thinks that the fundamental reason is not all the loss of the law, but the resistance of the landlords." However, the landlords are also the people, no different from the peasants, why this less than one percent of the people can oppose the court to benefit the rest of the eighty percent of the people, the reason is very simple, that is, among the landlords, the vast majority of them are ministers of the court, even if they are not, they also have a great relationship with these people, these officials have a great position in the court, and it is precisely because of their power that the failure of the reform of the law. ā€

Zhao Kai snorted and said, "You're right, I've seen it with my own eyes." ā€

Qin Hui said: "And now under the emperor's wise decision, the old bureaucrats have all surrendered to the law, and their fields have all been returned to the imperial court. ā€

The reason for this is very simple, that is, while these newly appointed officials have not yet consolidated their power, they should quickly start changing the law, and the further it is delayed, the greater the resistance to the change will be.

Qin Hui continued: "The privy envoy has said before that land can generate benefits, so it can be regarded as goods, and in the new law, what is advocated is the free purchase and sale of goods, and forcibly restraining land annexation is tantamount to hindering the circulation of goods. ā€

Zhao Kai turned his eyes to look at Li Qi.

Li Qi nodded and said: "I said so, and now I also think so, legal land sales can enhance the circulation of money, I am in no way in favor of suppressing land annexation, this is a wrong practice that violates the natural laws of the economy, and it is difficult to stop, but the premise is to be in a fair environment, not to take advantage of it." ā€

Qin Hui said: "For the opinion of the privy envoy. Weichen also deeply agreed, but the land is the foundation of the people, and the people without land seem to have no roots, which is also the main reason for the people's uprising, so the minister feels that the court still has to restrict the annexation of land, and the court can formulate a set of rules within the rules. You can buy and sell land, but outside the rules, if you want to annex the land, you have to pay a high price, leaving the final choice to the people and landlords. ā€

Zhao Kai said: "The rule you said is the Masuda tax?" ā€

Qin Hui said: "Exactly, although this tax on increasing fields has been gradually implemented in our country, because there were always opposing forces in the DPRK and the central government, the implementation was not thorough enough. Moreover, the original Masuda tax was not perfect enough, and there were still many loopholes in ZĆ i, but Weichen thought that this Masuda tax would be promising. ā€

Zhao Kai nodded. Said: "Then you can tell me in detail." ā€

"Wechen obeys."

Qin Hui said: "Regarding the tax on increasing land, to put it simply, the land tax increases exponentially with the growth of land. If, according to the previous calculation, the tax of one acre of land is ten yuan, then ten acres of land is one hundred yuan. Under this tax system, landlords will consider more carefully when merging or buying and selling land, and when the land in their hands reaches a certain amount, no matter how much land they have, it will become poison for them, because the multiplication of taxes will make them unable to make ends meet.

The imperial court can use the land tax as the main means of balancing the landlords and peasants, the more land means the more taxes, and the money still flows into the hands of the imperial court, and the imperial court can take this part of the extra money to make up for the losses of the peasants, so as to achieve a balance between the two sides.

In addition, Wei Chen Jian yƬ added two new contents to the field tax, one is that the field and the house should be separated from the planning, because if the land tax is used for the house, this will hinder the new law, in the planning of the new law, a large amount of non-arable land will be used, into an industrial area, commercial area, in this regard, the imperial court should encourage merchants to use these barren land, therefore, when the land tax should be relaxed, and if a certain landlord holds a large amount of land, but only a small part of the cultivated land, most of it is sandy land, It is not possible to generate profits, and the Masuda tax is not fair to such people.

Second, regarding the land recently recovered by the imperial court, Weichen Jian Yiyi should lease these lands to landless peasants living nearby, but for these lands owned by the imperial court, if the land increase tax is adopted, it will be unfair to both parties, because the imperial court is the landlord. Therefore, Weichen thought of a new tax system, in the past, we were taxed according to the number of acres, that is, an acre of land must pay less grain, so that if there is a natural disaster, the people will face a double blow, and the people and the country are not good, in order to avoid this, the imperial court can extract taxes according to the annual income per mu, for example, if a person's grain income this year is 100 stones, the imperial court will extract 10 stone of taxes, and next year it will be 50 stones, the court will draw 5 stone of taxes, in this case, Taxes will become more flexible and easy to regulate, and of course, the imperial court will have to set a minimum limit to encourage farmers to cultivate the land, but this limit does not need to be very high, and it can also be subsidized in times of famine. ā€

Qin Hui said, many ministers nodded one after another, it is obvious that Qin Hui's series of constructions are for the benefit of the poor, and now the ministers standing in this palace, most of them are from poor families, they not only agree with Qin Hui's opinion, but also have a lot of good feelings towards Qin Hui in their hearts, and feel that this prime minister is very far-sighted.

The corners of Zhao Kai's mouth showed a slight smile, and said, "Do you have any objections to Qin Shaozai's construction?" As he spoke, he glanced at Richie.

What do you see me doing? Li Qi slowly lowered his head.

Strange, doesn't he have any opinion at all? This is impossible, usually as long as he mentions any matters related to interests, he will talk endlessly, how can he be so honest today? A trace of doubt flashed in Zhao Kai's eyes.

However, Qin Hui was also a little confused by Li Qi's reticence.

Zheng Yi suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen very much agrees with Qin Shaozai's construction, but there is one point, the imperial court must seriously consider it, although the tax on increasing land is flexible, it has also become very complicated, such as fertile land and wasteland, cultivated land and non-arable land, how many acres of land began to increase the tax, in order to balance the interests of the peasants, landlords, and the imperial court, once there is a loophole, it will be self-defeating, this qiē needs a lot of money to support, so the Weichen construction of the imperial court should be handled carefully." ā€

"Well, what the third envoy said is very good, this must be carefully weighed, and there can be no mistakes, otherwise all efforts will be wasted."

Zhao Kai said and glanced at Li Qi again, seeing that he still didn't mean to speak, he secretly thought, this guy won't be really dumb. He added: "But the matter of land annexation is urgent, and I don't want to delay it any longer, Qin Hui." ā€

"Wechen is here."

"This matter will be entrusted to you, in addition, the Bureau of Commerce, the three divisions, and the Ministry of Industry will assist. Remember, when I see this plan, I hope you will also be able to convince me with sufficient reasons, otherwise I will see you as derelict in your duties. ā€

"Wechen obeys."

Zheng Yi and Bai Qiannuo sang one after another.

Li Qi lowered his head slightly, glanced at Qin Hui out of the corner of his eye, and thought to himself, this guy is really a talent, he actually stole so many things from me, and used my economics to consolidate power, TMD, what a beautiful job!

Qin Hui seems to be doing this for the country and the people, and the public is selfless, but in fact, it is not, but every newly appointed prime minister, they will immediately come up with a set of policies to win the hearts of the people, and Wang Huang did the same at the beginning, and also won the support of the people.

Moreover, Qin Hui is very targeted, when Li Qi changed the law before, although he said that he was benefiting the people of the world, but in fact, he mainly served the rich, because in this way he could control the country's economy more calmly, which was conducive to changing the law, and his concept was to use the rich to enrich the poor. So much so that almost all the rich people in Tokyo supported Li Qi at that time, but because of the previous movement, Li Qi's supporters also suffered heavy losses, which was one of the reasons why Li Qi was reluctant to go to court at that time.

But even so, the rich people left behind still look to Li Qima, Qin Hui knew this in his heart, and he didn't think about taking this part of the power from Li Qi, because it was too difficult, so he simply turned the target to the poor class, and the Masuda tax was his main means of gaining the hearts of the people, because no matter how perfect the Masuda tax was, it still inhibited the growth of the wealth of the rich, but it greatly reduced the pressure on the poor, and he was also able to obtain a part of the power from Li Qi, that is, about changing the law.

Even though Li Qi knew Qin Hui's purpose, he didn't show that he was very angry or depressed, but was very calm and calm, showing a slight weird smile.

Zhao Kai suddenly turned his gaze to Bai Qiannuo and said, "Economic envoy." ā€

Bai Qiannuo took a deep breath hard before standing up and said, "Weichen is here." ā€

Li Qi's eyelids raised slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, he actually expected that Bai Qiannuo would definitely make a difference today, because she was a very special single body in the court, and she was also under tremendous pressure, she had to hurry up to express herself to relieve this pressure, for herself, and also to prove for Zhao Kai that appointing her as an economic envoy was the right choice.

But because of this, Li Qi was worried that Bai Qiannuo would be quick and self-defeating, so he planned to go to Bai Qiannuo last night, but finally dispelled this idea, since Bai Qiannuo has sat in this position, he must face this qiē, and he can't protect her all the time, so Bai Qiannuo has to rely on himself to change those negative ideas about her.

Zhao Kai said with a smile: "Compared with Qin Hui's recital, your recital makes me more curious, I remember a sentence in your recital very clearly, production except redundant soldiers, election except redundant officials, the combination of the first two except redundancy, I should not be mistaken." ā€

Bai Qiannuo said: "The emperor remembers correctly. ā€

"Then let's talk about what is production and redundancy?"

Bai Qiannuo replied: "Weichen thinks that production is the foundation of the country, and it is also the great plan of the country, and the qiē, including the tax on the field mentioned by Qin Shaozai earlier, is based on production, and without production, any method is in vain." ā€
