Therefore, at the Yunnan executive meeting, in view of the above drawbacks, Li Yi put forward the principles and directions for the revision of Yunnan's laws and regulations. That is to say, in the future, the regulations formulated in Yunnan must first face the interests of all the people and officials in Yunnan, ensure the interests of the vast majority of the people, and ensure that everyone is equal before the laws and regulations, so that there are laws to follow, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strict, and violators must be prosecuted.

Second, under the current circumstances, it is simply impossible and unnecessary to formulate various aspects of the law with wide coverage, categorization and clear provisions. The detailed provisions of the law can only be refined and improved step by step in the future. eye

What we need to do now is to put things in order and unify our thinking. With the aim of abolishing unreasonable policy provisions, and with the principle of promoting the improvement of people's livelihood and ensuring economic development, practical and feasible principled laws and regulations are formulated.

Thirdly, although the laws and regulations of the Five Dynasties were harsh and the law was ruthless, this was all caused by the troubled times, the thieves were numerous, and the officials were not sympathetic to the people.

Therefore, in formulating and enforcing laws and regulations, it is still necessary to follow the legal principle of blending leniency with severity and giving priority to strictness, and it is still necessary to severely crack down on criminal acts such as those who assemble a crowd to commit crimes, endanger political power, commit murder, set fires, rob, rape, bully and dominate the market, embezzlement, corruption, abuse of power for personal gain, and exploitation in the township.

In addition, the formulation of civil laws and regulations should be aimed at increasing the population, promoting economic development, and improving the people's livelihood, and should formulate legal principles in line with the direction of development based on the principles of leniency, reduction, and relaxation, promote the popularization of new technologies in high-yield agriculture, commercial circulation, and handicraft industry, encourage agricultural mulberry planting, support the reclamation of wasteland, develop courtyard and tidal flat aquaculture, expand the types and scope of commodity circulation, and increase the income of the people.

Finally, in order to effectively promote the popularization and development of folk education and to get rid of the old ideas and backward appearances, it is necessary to inculcate and edify them from children, comprehensively cover all the people and officials in Yunnan, popularize moral education, and use the culture of respect, kinship, filial piety, and honesty as the carrier to improve the healthy and progressive marriage and family system, vigorously promote traditional virtues, resist the erosion of decadent and declining culture, and improve people's ability to distinguish between right and wrong.

This is also the breeding ground for curbing illegal acts at the source, and its role and impact are undoubtedly very extensive and huge.

In accordance with the direction pointed out by Li Yi's five principles, Lin Yi and others organized some open-minded, clear-minded, and pioneering local scholars and government deacons, and in accordance with the actual situation reflected by the people and the actual needs of Yunnan, under my personal guidance, and after working overtime to revise and improve, finally formulated 23 principled policies and regulations for Yunnan in the middle of the month, which were printed in large quantities by the Yunnan Printing Company, posted in all neighborhoods and townships, and immediately began to be promulgated and implemented.

The provisions of Yunnan's 23 measures are as follows.

1. In order to ensure that officials at all levels in Yunnan abide by the law, are honest and self-disciplined, and serve the people wholeheartedly, a system of examination for officials has been established. From the civil and military officials above the ninth grade, a small examination a year, a major examination every three years, by the Yunnan Xuanfu Embassy to record the military and join the military and Si Gong to preside over the examination. Through the four aspects of integrity, ability, diligence and performance, and properly listen to the opinions of the local people, the assessment level is divided into excellent, good and qualified

Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes for a long time. Net Recommendation:

, unqualified fourth-class, excellent those with vacancies are promoted, and those without vacancies will be added for six months; Those who are good will be promoted as appropriate and given an additional three months; Those who pass the test will remain in their original positions and will be given an additional month; Those who are not qualified are generally dismissed, and those who are retained under special circumstances may be fined for six months and retained for one year to observe the after-effects.

2. Officials at all levels in Yunnan who refuse to carry out Yunnan's various laws and decrees, refuse to obey the orders and arrangements of their superiors, twist the law for personal gain, prevaricate, deceive and insult their superiors, beat their colleagues and subordinates without reason, and refuse to accept the people's appeals, are to be fined for six months or removed from their posts, and detained for trial on the charge of dereliction of duty.

3. School-age children, male or female, must be arranged to attend school when they reach the age of seven, and from the ninth year onwards, the enrollment rate must reach more than 90 percent, and if they do not meet the local county order, they will be fined three months in the first year, six months in the second year, and removed from their posts in the third year. The prefectural teacher in charge of education shall be fined for six months in the first year, removed from office in the second year, and shall not be admitted to the office for three years.

4. The original tax was levied on the basis of capitation, and the poll tax must be paid at the age of 16, and the harvest tax on the land was levied on the mu according to the number of acres, and it was collected in full regardless of whether it was a good year or a bad harvest year. As a result, due to the lack of harvest in the bad year, the people even had problems eating, which made the peasants want to cry without tears, and seriously damaged the peasants' interests. The current tax policy stipulates that the poll tax will be abolished throughout Yunnan, and the harvest tax will be subject to a flexible collection system, setting a maximum limit, which shall not be exceeded in good years, and less than 60% of the maximum limit in bad years. Farmers who have failed to harvest grains due to a bad year can also receive rations and seeds provided by the government, which can not only meet the needs of food, but also ensure the cultivation of grain in the coming year and maintain continuous grain production.

5. Abolish the 26 tax-collection checkpoints originally set up in Yunnan. According to the regional and road conditions, the whole Yunnan has set up five commodity circulation tax checkpoints, one is set up on the traffic artery from Dongchuan County to Shuguo, one is set up on the traffic artery from Huize County to the Zhenxiong Jiedu Envoy Territory, one is set up on the main road from Fuyuan County to the capital, one is set up on the main road from Pingyang Pass to Dayi Ningguo, and the last one is set up on the traffic artery from Luliang County to Tonghai. As long as the local merchants in Yunnan hold the customs clearance certificate issued by the local government, no matter how many goods they transport and sell, they will be levied on a symbolic tariff basis, and will no longer be levied according to the quantity and category of goods, which greatly reduces the customs clearance fee. In order to encourage foreign merchants to strengthen commodity trade with Yunnan, tariffs will be reduced by half according to the previous standard.

6. Abolish the 38 types of unreasonable taxes such as wedding and funeral tax, seedling tax, drainage and irrigation tax, mule and horse tax, and cattle tax, and only retain the shop and commodity transaction tax, and the shop tax is levied on a monthly basis according to the size of the shop, and the tax amount is only about one-third of the previous one, and the commodity transaction tax is levied only once according to the actual transaction amount.

7. Although the number of tax items has dropped sharply compared with before, if the number of merchants entering and leaving Yunnan increases and the volume of circulating trade increases, the amount of tax revenue will not only not decrease, but will also increase substantially through incremental tax reduction. Therefore, since Yunnan has set such a preferential tax rate, it must strictly enforce it, severely crack down on tax evasion, and those who deliberately evade taxes will be punished with rods, imprisonment, and confiscation of a certain amount of family property according to the amount of tax evaded. The amount of tax evasion is huge, and the maximum penalty for tax evasion is the death penalty.
