The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

"Can Governor Qin give an example?"

Qin Haoming's words were substantial, which made Yang Tingshu overjoyed and pleaded. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When everyone heard this, they immediately nodded solemnly: "Where the righteousness is, my generation must follow the adult!" It's a good idea to go to the soup! ”

Qin Haoming saw that they were so serious, but he laughed and said: "It's too exaggerated to go to the soup and go to the fire, don't you have any confidence to follow this governor to do things?" ”

Everyone immediately chuckled, and they all felt that Qin Haoming's words were funny, and it was even more rare that he did not have the slightest official authority, which was quite cordial.

One of the scholars said, "If what the adults said just now were applied to other people, the students would never believe it." But since it was said by Lord Qin Du, whether it can be understood or not, the students believe it! ”

Everyone nodded in agreement!

Although this remark is suspected of slapping horses, it undoubtedly shows that Qin Haoming has gradually begun to have his own fans in Daming.

Thinking about it, I understand, not to mention his military exploits and literary talents, just the advantage of age made many scholars present envious.

Just at the age of weak crowns, it is a teenager who has made so many achievements. And the sergeants in the field are basically older than him, how can they not be admired?

Qin Haoming said with a smile: "Then the governor will give an example, please be elegant." ”

Everyone didn't even dare to say anything, of course, they also understood that Qin Du was just modest!

"Needless to say, rice, wheat, grain and other things are one of the root causes of all disasters for the Ming Dynasty.

Have you ever noticed that in recent decades, droughts, floods, and locust plagues have continued, and the people of Daming have been in great distress. In this case, what did the Ming court need to do first? ”

Qin Haoming put his hands behind his back and looked at everyone and asked his own questions.

"Disaster relief!"

"Build water conservancy."

"Open up the land and expand the land and increase the cultivated area."

"Tax Reduction!"

……

A group of scholars put forward their opinions one after another.

"Yes, what you have put forward is the most correct opinion, and it is also the best way to solve the problem. But do you see that the imperial court has done this?

Why is it that even everyone knows what to do, but our court princes don't? Their choice is the opposite of everyone else, are they pigs? ”

Everyone looked pensive, and many were even more thoughtful.

Qin Haoming shook his head and continued with a heavy face: "They are not pigs, and they also understand that what they do is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire to the people.

But they are like that, what is it? ”

In everyone's contemplation, Qin Haoming was stunned and shouted loudly: "Without it, only interests!"

They are no longer what Fan Zhongyan said back then, the readers who are worried about the world first, and happy after the world, they are a group of shameless politicians.

Their moral conscience has long been lost, and it is the golden rule that they believe in not dying and not dying in poverty.

Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations.

This is the noblest mission in the hearts of our generation of readers, and in their eyes it is a joke. Their conscience is not as good as that of the prostitutes by the Qinhuai River.

At the same time, this is the reason why they did not let the imperial court collect commercial taxes on the wealthy merchants of Jiangnan?

Competing with the people for profit, this is their concept of stealing!

Their people do not refer to the people of the Ming Dynasty in the whole world. Rather, it is a group with special interests, which is composed of families, scholars, nobles, civil servants and military generals.

Competing with the people? Bullshit! These filthy politicians! ”

The scholars looked at each other, not understanding why the gentle and elegant Qin Governor was so out of shape? I don't understand why he digressed and scolded the ministers of the court?

Only Zhang Pu and Yang Tingshu smiled miserably, and their hearts were mixed.

Competing with the people? Didn't they talk about it all day long?

"I'm sorry, this governor can't help himself, and he has lost his temper, please understand! Here are some examples of the role of taxation. ”

Qin Haoming calmed down a little, made amends to the scholars present, and closed his eyes and said calmly when they did not dare to return the salute:

"Imagine if it were possible, if it were possible for the common people who cultivated less than ten acres to not be taxed, but agricultural and commercial taxes would be levied on large households and merchants?"

"How is that possible?"

Zhang Pu first retorted that for thousands of years, agricultural taxes have been the main taxes of all dynasties, and there is only overcharging, where is there any reason to cancel it?

"Of course, Brother Qiandu has a point, it's not realistic at this stage, just imagine it."

Qin Haoming opened his eyes and didn't argue, just smiled at him.

Some things, under the condition that they are not reached, it is useless to talk too much, and they will only be regarded as foolish dreams, so ambitious.

"If ordinary people survive, there will definitely be no traitors!"

Yang Tingshu thought about it seriously before he said slowly.

"Yes! In a word, the current tax of the Ming Dynasty is not to be paid, and it is fatal to pay if you can't afford it, do you think it is reasonable? ”

Qin Haoming showed a hint of sarcasm on his lips and asked everyone.

There was silence at the scene, this is the most real Ming tax situation, and everyone naturally knows.

"Food is the survival of the people, let alone for the time being.

Splendid silk, inns and restaurants, handmade items, some are high-priced and high-profit, and some are low-profit and high-turned.

But I only use 30 taxes in the Ming Dynasty, such a ridiculous and rigid tax has not changed until now, how ridiculous!

With a slight change, taxation that competes with the people will become a good government for the benefit of all people. ”

Qin Haoming said loudly to the puzzled crowd.

"Splendid silks, inns and restaurants, and handmade items have always been used by high-ranking officials and wealthy families. If the tax rate is raised, it will not hurt the people.

Jiangnan rice is eaten by the people every day. If we raise the tax rate, it will naturally matter to the big families, but it will be much more difficult for the small people to survive every day.

If different taxes are levied on different items, such as raising the tax rate of Suzhou embroidery, the increase in tax revenue can be achieved without harming the people and shaking the people's livelihood.

At the same time, the tax rate on grain products will be reduced, so that the people can get benefits.

As long as the burden on the people is lightened, there will naturally not be so many rebellions!

In addition, the collection of commercial taxes can allow the imperial court to build water conservancy, national defense construction, and disaster relief in disaster years from here.

Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty be able to make the country peaceful and peaceful. ”

What Qin Haoming is saying now is the most basic truth, and the scholars present naturally understand it.

"We think that the collection and expansion of taxes is the work of wicked people, and we always feel that we are a little unworthy of the teachings of the saints. Listening to what the adults said today, it was really suddenly enlightened and opened. ”

One of the gentlemen stood up and said ashamedly.

"Exactly!"

The other scholars exchanged their heads and spoke out in agreement.
