Chapter 263: Prince Shou with a generous heart
Wang An felt very satisfied with Shen Hong's humble and studious attitude, took a sip of tea, but said leisurely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Pointing doesn't count, but our family thinks that everything has to be done according to the rules, if our family remembers correctly, the merchants in this list are all from other places, and their household registration has not settled in Ping'an Mansion, how can they buy land in the house! What does Governor Shen think? ”
Many people think that they can do whatever they want in ancient times, and there are even many hot-blooded teenagers who look forward to the day when God can send him back to ancient times with a thunderbolt, and then start killing all directions.
As it turns out, this can only be scum who knows nothing about history.
If a soul like Zhu Changluo wears it, it's fine, but if it crosses with a physical body, just one identity certificate is enough for you to drink a pot!
The Ming Dynasty, like later generations, had a strict yellow book system, the so-called yellow book, equivalent to the household registration book of later generations, and even if someone wants to go far away, they have to take the yellow book to the local government to issue a road guide, if it is found in the wilderness, and there is no road guide to prove the identity, it will be classified as a homeless person.
And the treatment of the homeless, hehe, being sent to repair the Great Wall is considered lucky.
In addition to proving identity, the most important role of the Yellow Book is to delineate the household registration, which is not as simple as the household registration of later generations, when Emperor Taizu ascended the throne as the emperor, he pioneered the invention of a unique household registration system, and the people under his rule were divided into different household registrations according to different occupations, which is the so-called private households, artisan households, military households, etc......
In general, the role of the Yellow Book is mainly two, one is to indicate the place of origin, that is, where your hometown is! The other is to indicate the household registration, that is, what are you doing!
But in fact, this system was very suitable in the early Ming Dynasty, but now, its drawbacks have gradually been revealed.
According to the Yellow Book system, there are no special circumstances, and the people should not leave their places of origin, and it is best to work at home honestly.
But with the social and economic recovery, the group of businessmen has gradually increased, and the status of the Yellow Book is more embarrassing.
It's because these people are no good for the country, only bad.
First of all, the common people have to pay taxes and contribute to the country if they want to serve, but the merchants are highly mobile, and once they leave their hometowns, they often do not return for decades, and the government cannot always chase them back to serve and pay taxes.
In addition, commercial taxation is not developed enough in transportation and communication, and the state lacks the necessary control ability over the transaction process, which will naturally lead to a large number of tax evasion.
Not only that, the strong mobility of businessmen has led to them becoming a powerful unstable factor in society, just imagine, if a businessman commits a small case in a certain place, and then wanders around, it is difficult to hunt down with the power of a local government, and mobilize the power of the whole country to make a big fuss, it is really a headache.
Therefore, this kind of group, which has no benefit but only harm for the country, will naturally be severely suppressed......
Of course, there are two sides to everything, for businessmen, they can certainly use the convenience of businessmen like themselves to escape the forced labor stipulated in the Yellow Book, but this thing is usually not taken seriously, but once someone gets serious, it is fatal!
Wang An's voice was not shocked, but Shen Hong instantly understood what he meant, and said.
"The prince is right, these businessmen are not local household registration, how can they buy and sell land in Ping'an Mansion, these transactions are illegal and self-nullifying!"
Seeing that Shen Hong understood so well, Wang An's face also showed a smile.
Void! Void, of course!
However, this transaction is indeed invalid, but these land deeds are now really in Shen Hong's hands, logically speaking, since the transaction is invalid, it is natural that the two parties will return the land and silver to each other, but now these land deeds are returned to those gentry families, do they dare to ask for them?
Besides, the silver taels, although these gentry can't afford to provoke the Shouwang Mansion, but do you want them to obediently spit out the silver and return it to those merchants? Hehe!
Putting down the teacup, Wang An spoke again.
"As for the tax evasion and tax evasion in the past few days, the Shen Governor's Mansion has dealt with it according to the usual practice, but our family has a bit of an immature opinion, and I want to provide Shen Governor's reference......"
These businessmen are shameless, but Zhu Changluo is shameless, so he naturally can't do anything tricky, but even if he comes according to the rules and regulations, he can play these people to death!
You must know that tax evasion is not a big crime, and the usual way to deal with it is to fine silver, but how much to be fined depends on the meaning of the local government, which Shen Hong is naturally very clear about, so he can probably guess what Wang An is going to say next.
"These businessmen on the roster are all people who have been doing business in the local area for less than half a year, but this is only half a year to dare to evade taxes like this, which shows that they usually do business and do not uphold the integrity of others. Moreover, His Royal Highness was merciful and merciful, and when he first arrived in the Ping'an Mansion, he reduced the commercial tax and allowed the tax to be discounted with silk, but this generation is not grateful, but it is more and more rampant, and the crime is increased by one degree, if they are allowed to make up the commercial tax payable, how about the fine ten times the silver? ”
Ten times?
Shen Hong secretly mourned for this group of people for a moment, I'm afraid that this fine alone will be enough for these people to go bankrupt!
But it doesn't matter, what does the life or death of these people have to do with him?
However, with His Royal Highness's temperament, this silver will not be swallowed alone, and the last time he raided the three families of Sun Liu and Wu, the silver was allocated to the county government by His Royal Highness, and now this time, it is finally the turn of the government office!
Shen Hong thought in his heart.
But these are not over yet, the corners of Wang An's mouth pulled up a mocking smile and spoke.
"Of course, the matter of household registration still has to be resolved, since their original nationality is not in Ping'an Mansion, they are limited to be repatriated to their household registration place within three days!"
After that, Wang An was going to get up and say goodbye.
However, Shen Hong was slightly stunned, he thought that he would make a big move in the end, but who would have thought that it would be such an understatement to send him back, and he couldn't help but speak.
"The prince is really kind, since this is the case, the house also has a spectrum in his heart! Please rest assured! ”
In his opinion, this group of self-conscious businessmen dared to secretly oppose the Shouwang Mansion, and it was light to break the family and destroy the business, who knew that it would be so light to let go, you know, although these measures seem to be extremely serious, but after all, they all leave a glimmer of life, but it is just a little outside the body such as silver and two lands, maybe they can still leave some things, and it is definitely enough to buy two acres of land to make a living after returning to their hometown.
Shaking his head, Shen Hong thought about it for a while and didn't figure it out, in the end, he could only attribute it to this highness It was really kind-hearted.
However, he didn't notice a hint of a playful smile on the corner of Wang An's mouth when he left.
This solution does seem to be very forgiving, but is it really so?
