In fact, even now Dahua's commercial tax far exceeds the agricultural tax.

Even at present, when Dahua's agricultural tax is only a fraction of the commercial tax, and it does not matter whether there is an agricultural tax or not, the household department still believes that the agricultural tax cannot be abolished.

Hubu Shangshu couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that agricultural tax is the foundation of national taxation, and it cannot be generalized about the amount of data at one time. Although the commercial tax levied is huge, Weichen believes that it may not be able to be maintained forever. ”

"Once the commercial tax drops sharply, and then we completely stop collecting agricultural taxes, if we really encounter such a situation, I will be in danger! Stopping the collection of agricultural taxes is a matter of great importance and related to the country, please be cautious! ”

Hearing Hubu Shangshu's words, Lu Bu couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

He finally understood that even though the commercial tax far exceeded the agricultural tax now, the household department still felt that it was not safe.

You are far beyond now, but what about later?

What if business taxes are just a flash in the pan?

In the future, if business withers and taxes are not collected, and you stop collecting agricultural taxes, you will be blind at both ends.

Well, I have to say that the point of the head of the household book is good, and the consideration of the problem is comprehensive.

In the words of the time, the book of the household department is worthy of being the pillar of the country of the old Chengcheng!

However, if you look at it from the perspective of later generations, it is their historical limitations.

Because, only Lu Bu knows that as long as you follow the right path, business will only become more and more prosperous.

Business taxes are only going to get bigger.

Of course, no matter what it is, there will always be ups and downs, ebbs and flows.

In business, there will be times when there are downturns.

But Lu Bu believes that even if business goes into a trough, the commercial tax will far exceed the agricultural tax.

Therefore, it is entirely feasible to abolish the agricultural tax.

After talking to the head of the household, Lu Bu directly discussed the matter in the early dynasty.

And once this matter was raised, it immediately caused an uproar in the court.

Exemption from agricultural taxes has never been done in thousands of years!

Those emperors in the past were called a generation of saints if they were able to do light servitude!

And now?

The emperor even wants to exempt all agricultural taxes!

However, in the face of this issue, not all voices are supportive.

Because the civil and military officials present considered the problem from the overall situation.

The exemption of agricultural taxes can certainly provide more popular support.

But without this amount of silver, what will happen to the country's taxes?

How can the whole state apparatus be maintained?

Then, Lu Bu called out the Hubu Shangshu and asked him to announce the current tax components of the Great Huaguo.

It was only at this time that the Manchu civil and military forces found out, huh? It turns out that there are so many business taxes now?

It turns out that the agricultural tax accounts for only one-twentieth of the commercial tax?

If this ratio is followed, then the impact of agricultural taxes, whether they are levied or not, is really not great.

But can business taxes really be stable forever?

Soon, the Manchu civil and military forces were divided into two factions.

One faction is in favor of exemption from agricultural taxes, and the other is opposed to exemption from agricultural taxes.

The two sides are similar in number and evenly matched.

However, the opposition is almost always high-ranking officials.

In official positions, the opposition has to overpower the supporters.

Because, the bigger the official position, the more things you experience, and the more cautious you are to think about things.

The core of their thinking is two words: seeking stability. It is better not to make progress, but also to ensure stability.

Seeing that the two gangs were arguing, Lu Bu smiled slightly, and did not make a decision on the spot, but asked the ministers to continue to discuss, and wait for the next time in the early dynasty, and then discuss this matter.

After the retreat from the dynasty, this court discussion unconsciously spread in Nanjing.

And at a rapid speed, it spread to the surrounding counties.

There is no way, this matter is related to the well-being of the entire Dahua people, this is something that all the people are extremely concerned about, and the speed of circulation is simply outrageous.

As soon as this incident came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire Dahua.

Especially those people, the first reaction after getting the news is almost the same.

Almost all of them were in the direction of Nanjing City, kneeling heavily on the ground, kowtowing respectfully and thanking him!

Exemption from agricultural taxes and all forced labor is definitely a prosperous era that has never been seen since the beginning of the world!

In the past, they didn't even dare to think about it!

And now?

Their Holy Emperor Lu Bu, who pretended to be all the people in his heart, deeply understood the suffering of the people, and did not hesitate to exempt the agricultural tax in order for the people to live a good life!

Countless people, with tears in their eyes and deep affection, were deeply moved by their emperor's behavior.

At this moment, even if the emperor asks them to die, they will carry it out without hesitation!

Emperor!

Long live my emperor, long live, long live!

The emperor is dedicated to the people, and if he can do this for the people, even if the agricultural tax is not reduced or reduced in the end, the people will remember the emperor's benefits in their hearts!

However, those high-ranking officials who opposed the abolition of agricultural taxes suffered from it.

I was almost drowned by the spittle of the common people.

In some cases, the common people are actually very tolerant.

For example, when their emperor proposed to exempt the agricultural tax, they were grateful to the emperor.

Even if they fail to exempt the agricultural tax in the end, they will still be grateful to the emperor in their hearts.

But the ministers, because they opposed the exemption of agricultural taxes, although they did not do it for personal gain, they also acted from the overall interests of their country and the world.

But they were still scolded half to death by the common people!

Xun Yu, Xun You, Du Xian and even the great Confucian Cai Yong, the emperor's father-in-law were not spared.

Because, Cai Yong knows it very well.

Sooner or later, this country will be passed on to his grandson Lu Bin.

When the emperor is alive today, the emperor can always create all kinds of incredible miracles.

The emperor is alive, and there is certainly no problem with exempting agricultural taxes.

The question is, once the country is handed over to his grandson, what will happen if there is a problem with the business tax?

Will the agricultural tax be reintroduced then?

Taxes are a thing that you can reduce downwards, but once they are reduced, if you want to add them, it will be extremely difficult!

In order to prevent this from happening, Cai Yong can be said to be the backbone of the opposition.

Therefore, Cai Yong was scolded extremely miserable.

During this time, Cai Yong didn't even dare to go out.

Because as soon as you go out, you have to face countless scoldings.

If you are not careful, you will throw things such as vegetable leaves at you.

Although Cai Yong can rely on his identity as the national ruler to treat those crimes of disrupting the people, how can Cai Yong be embarrassed to do so?

I can't afford to lose that person at all!
