Chapter 398 - Tax Reduction? never

In the face of this thriving prospect, Lu Peng maintained a limited degree of happiness, and in the face of the mountains of cases in front of him, Lu Peng maintained the pain of forbearance, and then after everyone no longer had any questions, he humbly reviewed his pride to Tian Feng, but when he said this, the corners of Lu Peng's mouth were crooked, and he couldn't hide the pride in his heart at all.

Then under Tian Feng's eyes staring at you, Lu Peng put down his proud head, sat upright, and began to solve the things in front of him one by one.

"I don't think the issue of reducing or reducing the land rent of the people under the rule raised by the Ministry of Household Affairs should be implemented."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole house was in an uproar.

The first to stand up against it is, of course, Tian Feng, this old man is now taking pleasure in educating others and being proud of being a minister. Now, standing straight in front of Lu Peng, his hand was about to point to Lu Peng's nose, and he spit Xingzi directly to wash Lu Peng's face: "You ruthless cool official, just sitting on top of the high hall so brazenly, completely ignorant of the suffering of the people under your control, you are so desperate now, how will you get it in the future?" I must resolutely resist your impending cruelty and greed. ”

Lu Peng almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood at that time, what is this, how is this the future cool official greedy, this is too high-level, so he got up and was about to speak, but Tian Feng was furious: "What's the drop, do you still want to kill me?" Well, since you don't take advice, I'll die to show you. So his eyes squinted at the pillar next to him, and he was very aware of grabbing the pillar with his head.

At that time, Lu Peng had a headache, and now Tian Feng has suffered from menopausal terminal syndrome, this temper.

At that time, Tian Chou was shocked, and he grabbed it and persuaded with a smile: "Isn't this the lord still unexplained, how can he make an assertion first?" If the lord is really a dumb and cool official, then it is not too late for us to die. ”

Tian Feng thinks about it, people haven't finished talking yet, Zhuojun is so popular, it's not very suitable, it seems that his hatred of iron is fierce. So he snorted and walked back to his place and sat down.

Mi Zhu stretched his neck and wanted to argue: "Although Youzhou is rich now, the people still need to continue to cultivate, at the same time, now our people in Youzhou are complex, most of them come from other states and counties, people's hearts are still unstable, and they still need to be collected. ”

Mi Zhu's proposal is indeed pertinent, and this kind of thinking has also been approved by all the civil and military, even Wan'er quietly poked Lu Peng behind Lu Peng, so that he agreed to everyone's proposal, after all, Wan'er is kind.

Lu Peng raised his hand and stopped him. "Your proposal is good, but I have a different idea, and everyone has to listen to me."

Everyone shut up and waited for Lu Peng to explain.

"Now that we have obtained this windfall after a war of plunder, if we use this excuse to reduce the rent of the land for three years to the people under our rule, I think this excuse is not sufficient at all, and it will cause endless trouble."

Seeing that everyone was confused, Lu Peng patiently explained: "Originally, our land rent is not high, and the people can afford it, even if we no longer take this land rent as the main income, we can't give the people a feeling of getting something for nothing, and I wish our land to pay us land rent, which is a matter of course, and we must not discount it at all." ”

"What if there is a drought or flood in the future?" Mi Zhu asked such a question.

Lu Peng said with a firm expression: "Even if there is a flood, even if there is no harvest, I will definitely not reduce or reduce the rent, please remember this." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Tian Feng suddenly stood up, but even the eldest brother and the second brother jumped out together, ready to start a war with this guy who had already gone to the path of fainting.

When Lu Peng saw this, he immediately stood up and didn't give you a chance to speak, and his voice raised an octave to explain his point of view loudly: "Although even if there is a flood, we will not reduce or reduce the rent, but my government will continue to implement the method of cash-for-work, I would rather let them earn my grain, and then use my grain to pay the rent that should be given to me, and do this kind of troublesome thing of taking off their pants and farting, and I will definitely not develop the mentality that they rely on the government and get nothing for nothing." ”

Then he looked at the civil and military ministers who were standing in front of the hall and looked at each other, and said bitterly: "Get it for nothing, once this mentality is formed, it will drive the entire social atmosphere to degenerate, this year's drought and flood disaster here, you have been relieved, and next year there will be locusts, do you still want to reduce it?" Another year, that piece is in arrears, and they also think that you should reduce him, otherwise they will be dissatisfied, and they may come out to make trouble. ”

The eldest brother seems to understand Lu Peng's good intentions: "We have achieved a light and meager endowment, and the factories around the country are always recruiting a large number of people to work, and the government also recruits workers, so that the people can always support their families without relying on farming, if the rent is reduced or exempted for any reason, and the people have no rent pressure, then they will abandon the cultivated land, so it will hit agricultural production, and the result is indeed very terrible, the land rent is our way to restrain them from still cultivating the land, so it seems that Brother, you're doing the right thing. ”

After listening to Mr. Big's analysis, everyone seems to understand the truth, yes, the tax is too heavy, and everyone wants to abandon the land and become a homeless, but there is really no tax constraint, and everyone may not go to farming, these are the two extremes.

Looking at the civil and military forces pondering below, Lu Peng continued: "Once natural and man-made disasters occur in various places, our government will not care, but it is definitely not to reduce or reduce the dispensable land rent, but our government will immediately take action and implement work for relief, which is the government's kindness for them, so I would rather be gracious than do things that cultivate a good food and lazy seat, and promote rice and fight for rice." Then solemnly said to Mi Zhu: "Please remember that no matter where there are natural disasters and man-made disasters outside, you can only propose to me what method to use to work for relief, even if there is no way, it is still the old rule, hire them to dig pits in front and fill in the back, and never allow the matter of reducing taxes and food, this is an iron law, as long as my group exists, this iron law will remain unchanged for thousands of generations." ”

Seeing Lu Peng, who had become majestic, all the civil and military officers also became respectful and cautious.
