"Okay, now that person is in court?"

Qu Zhutou nodded and said, "Yes." The man also had a powerful subordinate, and it was the man who injured the little one so much. He didn't realize that it was a shame for him to be like this as a catcher.

The county commander pondered for a moment and said, "Go and take a look, who is it." In case it's a big shot, you have the shroud ready. ”

"Huh? My lord. You can't say that. The little one provoked this person just because he was pumping the poll tax, but he couldn't just let the little one die. ”

"Alright. Let's see. ”

The county order and Qu Yu had just walked to the front of the hall, and when the county commander saw Yang Fan's side face, he immediately gasped and retreated. slapped Qu Zhukuai's hat off, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Bastard, you are not easy to mess with, provoke this person, it's really a death!" ”

Qu Zhu's face turned pale with fright, and he trembled: "My lord, don't be scared. This man...... Is this man so powerful? ”

"Isn't it amazing? Hehe, you'll find out soon. The county commander Tie blushed and said, "Hurry up and go to the household department and inform Han Shilang." This poll tax is levied by the Ministry of Households, and we can push it as much as we can. This official will go to stabilize this evil star first, if you want to live, you hurry! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" As soon as he took a step, he was dragged back by the county order. He said angrily: "Are you looking for death? Pull strings! ”

……

The Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing was responsible for collecting taxes and grain from Nanzhili and Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Huguang provinces. The taxes and grains paid by these four places accounted for almost half of the Ming Empire, and they were also responsible for the transportation of water and the national salt introduction.

From the beginning to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Nanjing Household Department has been responsible for this affairs, of which there are only two years when the Nanjing Household Department is not responsible for this affairs: in the third year of Zhengde, Liu Jin changed the law, and the Central Household Department was responsible for it. It is still under the Ministry of Household Affairs of Nanjing", which was approved and has remained unchanged since then.

"Lord Han, just now Yang Fan went to the Zhili Yamen, and I heard that he was going to ask about the poll tax. The arresters of the yamen came to ask for help. "Nanjing Hubu Zuo Shilang, Han Qianqiu has just changed into civilian clothes and is about to go home. Then he heard the next man come to report. He frowned, how could Yang Fan take care of the poll tax?

This tax. is the foundation of a country. The amount of tax revenue in the four regions of Jiangnan, Huguang and Guangzhou is almost half of the country's. Millions of silver, ten million stones of grain. The impact of drought and freezing on the south is not so obvious, but the gradual rise of capital and commerce has caused many areas in the south of the Yangtze River to destroy fields to grow mulberry and tea, handmade textile industry, silk and tea. Sold abroad in large quantities.

The Ming Dynasty Taizu set the ancestral system, and the eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics, but the eunuchs usurped power from time to time, and only this tax system has never changed, but it has become a mistake. Industry and commerce have developed, and the tax system of 1 out of 30 will remain unchanged. Officials and businessmen colluded with each other. But the grain tax to be paid every year has to be so much, there is less land, and there are fewer people who grow grain, what should we do? "Witty" officials have set up various tax items to increase tax revenues, such as this poll tax.

Taxes in the Ming Dynasty were very low. But to those businessmen who have made a lot of money. The agricultural tax set by the imperial court was already very low, but more taxes were added at all levels, and these all fell on the poor people. Land annexation, exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, three hundred years, seems to be a cycle that cannot be escaped by a feudal dynasty.

Han Qianqiu took a deep breath and squinted his eyes. said: "This matter, go and inform Dong Lao, if there is no one in Dong Mansion, go to Lao Shangshu Mansion, find Zhang Biqian Zhang Lao, and inform him that Yang Fan is investigating the tax items." ”

"Didn't Dong Lao return to his hometown a few months ago?"

"That's a resignation, maybe it's still in Jinling City at this time, you can go." Han Qianqiu got into the sedan chair, opened the side curtain, and handed a small piece of paper to the person who passed it. "And." Han Qianqiu pondered for a moment, "Invite the secretary of the military department as well." He realized that the stakes were very high, and if he didn't do it well, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk around. Report the incident, not to mention this Yang Fan, who has been in Jinling City for a month. The six Shangshu have long been approved, and now that the situation is unclear, don't mess with the lonely lord, so as not to be cleaned up when the time comes.

As a result, they don't mess with it, when there is no such person. They came to the door on their own.

Han Qianqiu hurried to the Zhili Yamen, glanced at the county order and Yang Fan in the hall, and felt a little headache. This poll tax is naturally a local tax. Han Qianqiu also knew about this, but to explain why he wanted to set up this tax, he could only say that he had no choice but to do so. Nanjing's household department controls half of the country's grain tax. This number is an indicator. If they pay less, it is the fault of their household. Therefore, since you can't put money into it, and you can't change the tax degree, you can only set up more tax items.

Han Qianqiu really didn't want to deal with that thorn in the main hall. When I thought of the one in the hall, even those old foxes in the Beijing division suffered a lot of losses, Du Ruhai broke the halberd, Shanxi nest case, and the governor and prefect asked for beheading after the autumn. He really didn't want to argue with this young man, not to mention that there was still a shadow of the saint behind him. I heard that it is very likely that even the crown prince is in the academy. Between Jingshi's forces and Yang Fan, it is more like a game.

Han Qianqiu coughed and said, "Yang Xiaoyou has been waiting for a long time. Although he had never met, Han Qianqiu still came politely, so as not to get too stiff when he got the time.

"This is ......"

The county commander on the side hurriedly said: "This is Han Qianqiu, the left attendant of the household department, Lord Han." He wiped his sweat, but he could be regarded as a boss, and his black cauldron could be thrown to Han Shilang.

"Dare to ask Lord Han, where does this poll tax start? In the Ming law, there doesn't seem to be such a tax item. ”

Yang said darkly. The relationship between taxation and taxation is very complicated, and you should understand this. Han Qianqiu sneered, "It's not that you say it today, and I can solve it in two words." If you really want to figure out what is going on, then if you want to question it, you can only question it in the court. ”

Yang Fan sneered: "Is it against anyone's interests?" ”

Han Qianqiu smiled and said nothing, thinking that he was knowingly asking, sitting on the main seat, and said: "Some interests, because of the long time, have become reasonable, and no one will refute him." There is still a ...... for this poll tax and Ding Tian tax None of these taxes are in the tax laws of the Ming Dynasty, but it just works. Don't talk about you, it's even ......" he paused for a moment. (To be continued.)
