It is not known when the collection of state taxes originated. Probably since the advent of class division, it has been used as an important means of converging wealth.

Guan Zhong of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period once used a lot of space in his exposition to record the relationship between social taxation and national development. It can be said that he is the earliest authoritative expert on this field.

In the world of life, whether you are reluctant or not, there will always be some people who claim to be "herding on behalf of the sky" to act as managers. Up and down for thousands of years, generation after generation, it cannot be broken. These people, called "Sons of Heaven and Emperors" or "Leaders and Saviors", lead a huge interest group centered on them, exploiting the wealth created little by little by trillions of people with hard work and sweat...... The so-called exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are as numerous as cattle hairs, and they are all like that.

Needless to say, those times when the beacon war was chaotic and the heroes competed for hegemony. In troubled times, life is not as good as a dog, and there is no need to have the luxury of owning your own wealth and the ability and system to protect your wealth. Even in the so-called prosperous times, as ordinary people, it is difficult to control their own destiny in many cases. In the history books, the specific reference to the word "ant people" very vividly illustrates a helpless survival situation in the general situation.

Yuan Zhao has an ideal country in his heart. But he knew that the road in this direction was difficult and long. Beyond thousands of years, even if he has the ability to penetrate the world, he is not sure that the Han Dynasty will be turned upside down.

Still, he was eager to give it a try. Even if you can't achieve what you want to be, then there will always be some changes, right? Even if only a grain of fire is buried, there will always be successors with outstanding insight to inherit it, carry it forward, and the spark will eventually become a prairie fire...... That's what he was all about.

Yuan Zhao received a report from Sang Hongyang later the next day. At that time, he was seriously teaching a seemingly simple but actually complicated subject with a very serious expression. There were no idle people in the quiet courtyard, and a large number of attendants were waiting outside. Yuan Hou was personally teaching his little lord the unfathomable Book of Heaven, and they all had a look of awe on their faces, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

As Yuan Zhao's right-hand man, Sang Hongyang, who served as the captain of Sooli in the imperial court, could come to see him at any time. And because of Yuan Zhao's easy-goingness, the people around them don't have to be too restricted. However, when he came to this inconspicuous courtyard in Chang'an City, he still couldn't help but relax his steps and waited quietly on the steps at the door, not daring to be the slightest presumptuous.

Although so far, there is no clear statement. But many people in the world clearly know how valuable this little prince who came from outside the East China Sea and followed Liu Shu, the lord of Huainan Wang, into Chang'an!

The six-year-old boy named Liu Yuanshuo will be the successor of the Qianshan Islands in the East China Sea in the future. This ordinary courtyard that was set aside for him to study has been interpreted in detail among countless Chang'an people. Although no one will openly talk about Yuan Zhao's relationship in this, everyone knows how important this courtyard is in his attention!

Sang Hongyang is also a rare young talent in the world. I think that at the beginning, he was recognized by Yuan Zhaohui as a young official of the Shaofu, and then he was arranged to be enrolled in Chang'an College for cultivation by name. He didn't know that

Why did the young marquis, who is famous in the world, choose himself alone, and his heart is naturally grateful. In the past few years, after several experiences, he has finally been specially promoted by Yuan Zhao to the status of Jiuqing's important minister. He knew very well in his heart how much Yuan Zhao relied on him. So no matter how big or small, we strive to do our best.

However, when Sang Hongyang listened to the sound in the room, even though he was known for his arithmetic agility and clear management of accounts, he had already frowned with doubts on his face before he could hear a few words at this moment, looking puzzled.

After a while, Sang Hongyang, who was contemplating hard, couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, leaned over half of his body, and quietly looked inside. I saw that the little boy who was kneeling behind a few cases showed a suddenly enlightened look on his face under Yuan Zhao's detailed analysis. It should be a big gain to look at.

Yuan Zhao had already seen Sang Hongyang looking at him, so he stopped teaching today. Then he leaned down, patted Liu Yuanshuo on the shoulder, and gently exhorted him. This little boy has mastered new knowledge, and he is naturally excited. However, he didn't dare to show it in front of Yuan Zhao, and after bowing respectfully, he stepped aside to study by himself.

"What Yuanhou taught, Hongyang has never heard of! Still, it sounds useful...... Yes! ”

Yuan Zhao smiled faintly and waved him to sit down. But I saw that the little boy who was practicing on the side had no distractions, sat upright and studied, and did not watch with curiosity.

"This is the science of arithmetic from the extreme western world west of the Western Regions. Of course it's very useful. When I have the opportunity, I might as well teach you some briefly, so that I can easily and conveniently deal with the economic affairs of the Quartet...... Hehe! ”

Sang Hongyang was simply overjoyed, and hurriedly avoided the table and worshipped, with gratitude in his mouth. Yuan Zhao knew in his chest, and he took out a little bit casually, which was a big means enough to economic the world. Being able to get his guidance can be regarded as a blessing for three lives.

The atmosphere in the clean and spacious study room is easy-going. However, this atmosphere was immediately broken. Because, Sang Hongyang told Yuan Zhao about an unexpected incident.

The old man who had eaten a bowl of wontons on the streets of Chang'an last night was arrested in a unified inventory of the government tax collectors because he refused to pay the taxes collected by the government government, along with several other people who made the same snacks.

Yuan Zhao listened briefly, and his face was a little solemn. Standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands, he saw that the north wind was whistling outside and the remnants of the leaves were drifting, the sky and the earth were cold, and the winter in the north was extremely cold.

"Is there a legal basis for such arrests?"

"Yes. In this matter, the government tax collector did not abuse his power, and there are clear provisions in the laws of the Han Dynasty, and all kinds of handymen and other people are ...... As long as there are engaged people, no matter who they are, they need to pay a certain tax rate. ”

"Isn't it inevitable to have a small business like last night's uncle?"

"Yes, Yuanhou, where the law is, no one dares to show favoritism."

Sang Hongyang looked at Yuan Zhao's back with a calm face, he had worked hard in this regard, and he remembered all the laws and regulations of the Han Dynasty clearly.

Yuan Zhao was silent. After a long time, when he turned around again, Sang Hongyang was shocked, and he realized that a sharp edge was passing from the corners of those sharp eyes. It seems that there is a big decision, and it is decided right now!

That one is down

At noon and throughout the night, Yuan Zhao did nothing. He personally led Sang Hongyang and the little boy in brocade clothes to walk all over the four cities, eight alleys, corners and corners of Chang'an City. See with your own eyes, hear with your own ears. He wanted to know as much as possible what was really going on with the various groups that were part of the country.

The reality is really bad. These craftsmen who live at the bottom and all kinds of people who have to get up early and work hard late to support their families, after bearing the burden of various taxes, have barely survived with their surplus income. Get a glimpse of the whole leopard! Such a state is far from the strong cohesion brought about by the prosperity of the people under the expected prosperity of a great country!

A few days later, Nie Yi, the richest man in Jiangbei who was summoned by Yuan Zhao and rushed to Chang'an as quickly as possible, told everything he knew and heard about the trade routes in all directions over the years. This enabled Yuan Zhao to have a more comprehensive understanding of the general situation of local taxes in all the Han Dynasty from a higher level, which provided the greatest convenience for him to formulate a relatively clear goal of eliminating some miscellaneous taxes.

Yuan Zhao's choice of reform taxation as the breakthrough point of his overall strategy was deliberate. The so-called "the world is bustling, all for profit." The world is crowded, all for profit. "When the word is sharp, it can turn decay into magic, and cowardice into bravery. As long as the relationship between this aspect is properly handled, the interests are equally shared, and the people are rich, the cohesion of a nation and a country will become stronger than anything else.

Of course, it's an uphill battle! If you go to war with a huge vested interest group and win, you will open up the situation and roll out all kinds of changes in an all-round way. If you lose, your previous achievements will be wasted, and your name and body will be destroyed!

"Brother Yuan! Knowing that you've decided, I won't say anything more...... The Nie family has risen with me, and it will be up to me to decide its future! No matter what happens, my family and I will follow us to the death, and we will not back down even a single step. Although all the family wealth in the sea is dominant, this half of the country is originally prosperous with you! ”

To this day, there are very few people who can still call him "Brother Yuan". Yuan Zhao patted the broad back of this pampered person who had been pampered for many years and still took care of each other, and there was no need to say anything.

And then more than a dozen giants such as the Shuzhong Zhuo family and the Hedong Xu family, who were also famous on one side, also expressed their firmest support for Yuan Zhao. These far-sighted people can see very clearly, although this matter that Yuan Zhao wants to promote, although it may have a certain impact on their family industry in the short term, and even suffer some losses. But in the long run, once the tax reform is successful, it will be of great significance to maintain the stability of the century-old family. Therefore, whether it is public or private, they all raise their hands in favor.

Yuan Zhao used his identity to send someone to the Chang'an Mansion to pick up the old man, and returned the wonton stall on which he depended. When his subordinates brought back the infinite gratitude and gratitude of the little old man who looked at the dust and worshipped, Yuan Zhao sighed softly. He hoped that this would be the last time, and that the civilians who survived with their own hands would be grateful to the powerful who held his destiny in their hands for the sake of their innocent suffering!

On the Hanyuan Palace, Prime Minister Changle waited for Yuan Zhao to stand up, and officially launched the ...... of "The Great Han Tax Reform System", which will be famous through the ages.
