"I heard that when the official was checking the household tax in Yizhou, Ji Yan also presided over the household tax inventory in Luoyang?"

"I'm ashamed, there was such a thing in the past, but compared with Da Sima's household tax, Yizhou's household registration increased by two or three percent. The inventory presided over by Xiu had little effect. In the past two years, the growth of the household registration has been less than 150. ”

"Well, in the past, the great cause of the Jin country was great, and the household registration base was naturally large, so of course it was impossible to increase by 20 or 30 percent, but it was not even 5 percent, which was too little. What does Ji Yan think is the problem? ”

"There are many reasons, and the show is an example. When Sima Anshi issued an order to check the household tax, he specifically asked the Hongnong Yang family to take the lead in responding. Yang Wenchang also wrote a letter to the principal in Hongnong's hometown to ask for cooperation. However, the officials sent by Xiu to check the household registration went down in three batches with a total of more than 20 people, and all of them disappeared. For this matter, Xiu also asked Jia Gonglu to send Jin Cao to investigate, but Jin Cao went down to ten people, and all of them disappeared. In the end, only Shangshutai directly issued a strict order to the Hongnong Taishou Mansion, requiring that the household registration of Hongnong County must increase by 10%, and then the Hongnong Taishou Mansion quickly completed this requirement. But what Xiu saw in Shangshutai later was that Hongnong County's population had increased by 10%, all of whom were over 60 years old, and most of these people were reported to have died of illness in the second year, and disappeared from the national register. ”

The family of Kanto is so arrogant? Speaking of which, the family in Yizhou is simply a cute thing that is harmless to humans and animals, and the Yongliang family is an occasional rebellious, but generally obedient baby.

However, this Jin State is also nonsense: you are going to cut the flesh of the family! How many people did you send down? Do you really think that when an order goes down, people will obey it? When Ji Han checked the household tax, didn't he see that the general personally led the troops to count the heads on the spot? Should there be a little more bureaucracy? Ah, too, people like that Pei's family is not a super family, how can there be a reason to let the super family do its own thing?

"Well, everyone, Yi did this in the Han Dynasty to check the household tax......."

"Da Sima is so courageous. But that wasn't the case with the show back then. Because of the Jin Kingdom in the past, on the surface, the domestic family did not openly have a large number of troops and private soldiers like the family of Eastern Wu, but in fact they were fully capable of organizing a considerable force. Moreover, in the past Jin Dynasty, in addition to the family, there were many clan kingdoms, and the royal guards in the hands of these people were also quite considerable. If you really send an army, you can't say it, the prince himself led the royal guard to fight against the imperial army. Which general with troops would dare to really attack? ”

"Well, so, in the end, the Jin Kingdom's household tax was just a matter of everyone looking at the emperor's face, how much they released some old, weak, sick and disabled, so that they could be seen on the books?"

"Well, it is not excluded that there are individual serious officials and individual families who understand the righteousness. But what Da Sima said is basically the truth of things. ”

"Hey, this official really has some sympathy for Sima Anshi......" Guan Yi smiled slightly and said to Pei Xiu and the others: "This year, the eight states in Kanto will cancel the autumn tax and continue to maintain the nine-grade Zhongzheng system. What do you think will happen? ”

After this question was raised, Pei Xiu, Ren Kai, and He Qiao wanted to speak again, but Zhang Hua got up and said: "Da Sima, if this is the case, it is estimated that ordinary people will have a much better life, and the speed of the family's expansion will slow down rapidly." However, I am sure that among the people reported by the eight states of Kanto this year, there must be a lot of people who are in high school. ”

"Hahahaha, Mao Xian is a sincere person!"

As a farmer of the N generation, Guan Yi knows too well what the so-called agricultural tax is.

After the founding of the Celestial Empire, the agricultural tax was only from the soil due to the withering of all industries at the beginning of the founding of the country, so the tax ratio was about a quarter of the harvest of the year. This ratio, compared with the behavior of pre-levying during the Republic of China and decades later, is benevolent government.

In the sixties, the industrial layout was initially completed. The proportion of agricultural taxes has been reduced to about one-tenth.

In the 80s, the tax in kind was changed to a monetary tax, and the tax rate was gradually reduced to 5%.

But is life better for the peasants? It's getting better, but it's not good enough compared to city dwellers. The gap between the rich and the poor between urban and rural areas is widening.

There are many reasons for this. However, one of the most important points is that as long as the agricultural tax exists, local governments at all levels can attach various "fees" to the agricultural tax. What management fees, instruction fees, breeding fees, etc., etc. In short, the state receives 10 yuan through agricultural taxes, and the "fees" that local governments at all levels may increase on this basis are about 20 to 30 yuan.

There was no way, at that time, the tertiary industry was extremely underdeveloped, after the market was opened, most of the factories at all levels were in a state of loss, and the land finance did not start again. Governments at all levels can only find enough money to support the staff of administrative undertakings, and the only way to do so is to make decisions from the peasants.

How do farmers know what the agricultural tax is levied by the state and what are the various fees added by the local government without authorization? So, only to pay honestly.

Does the state know about this situation? Nonsense, of course I know. But what about knowing? The government has no money!

In the 21st century, the country's secondary and tertiary industries have gradually flourished. A national order: the complete abolition of agricultural taxes. As a result, the various fees attached to the agricultural tax also disappeared. The peasants' lives quickly improved.

Back in this era, Guan Yi said that the eight states of Kanto will not be taxed at all this year, so the local officials in these eight states cannot arbitrarily increase various expenses on the basis of national taxes. Then, the burden on the farmer is not a matter of reducing the state tax a little, but by reducing it too much. The life of this yeoman farmer is better, so naturally he will not consider selling his land to the family to become a serf. The family must be very unhappy.

After suffering a "loss" financially, the families will naturally find a way to make up for it politically.

Ah, you said that you will continue to implement the Jiupin Zhongzheng system this year, isn't it just that you just took this land this year, and you are afraid that we will make trouble to appease us? And what about next year? It must be changing to that damn probation system, right? Good! This year, we must push the young children of each family up at one time, so that they can obtain the qualification to be officials!

Nine pins, from top to bottom, generally speaking, the top refers to being as flawless as a saint. Therefore, since the beginning of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, no young scholar has been able to obtain the upper grade. The highest is the upper middle.

This is a big deal, once you get this grade, under normal circumstances, the starting point is what the lower county is too shou or what the upper county is engaged in. If you are in the central government, you are often a middle-level official in a certain department. Therefore, generally speaking, the upper and middle grades are very rare in normal times. It's not the eldest son of each family or something, don't even think about it.

But this year is different, this year is the final carnival when everyone is very unhappy - we have no expectations for the public enemy of the family like Guan Zifeng. Therefore, this year, in addition to the son-in-law, the side branch concubines will also be all involved. It's not good-looking to get too much in the middle and up, but it's okay to go up and down.

As for you, the Han government questioning the results of our evaluation? Hi! In the past, when the Jin Kingdom was there, the talent was not obvious. After your big man came, there was a blowout of talents! What does this mean? It shows that the Han obeys the mandate of heaven! If you brush off all these people during the final review, your emperor won't be able to get by, right?

Therefore, Zhang Huacai said that this year's evaluation will definitely produce a lot of middle and middle school ......

"Hehe, it's okay, Maoxian. Since we said that the eight states in Kanto will implement the nine-product Zhongzheng system this year, we must recognize it. Moreover, I have written to the new assassins and taishou of the five states of Hebei, so that they can respect the customs of various places and not immediately intervene in the tasting of the big states and states. ”
