Shi Bufan thought that the governing methods of these ancient officials were too crude, too simple and crude. This point is obviously too simple and crude from the various policies www.biquge.info of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it is contrary to the basic economic laws. By prohibiting intermarriage between the scholars, Li Shimin hoped to curb the buying and selling of marriages among the scholars. However, this will not only not have a corresponding effect, but will cause those people to be more proud, ask for more so-called "companion money", and be proud of it.

This simple and crude method, although it seems to work very well, is completely contrary to his basic economic laws. Even if it is the "companion money" of the noble family's marriage daughter, it can actually be adjusted by means of some economic laws. Why do many "nouveau riche" want to increase their worth by marrying the daughters of the nobles, and they do not hesitate to give a lot of money to accompany them. This is actually a kind of "value", and he believes that the money spent can match the value.

In this case, if it is directly banned, there will be an illusion that "rare things are expensive", and it will be even more proud. On the contrary, instead of this, it is better to simply let him rise, and directly let the daughters of the Shi clan be more valuable than the princess one by one, so that the bubble of the price of their daughters will begin to rise sharply, and sooner or later the bubble will burst. At that time, this will make the price of the daughter of this scholar clan plummet. Because the "value" of this scholar's daughter is too high, and even her "worth" is actually not worth this price at all.

According to the basic law of value, once it rises to a certain extent, he will also be shattered, and finally return to normal value.

"You say how to curb excessive and meaningless land annexation without violence. Remember, I'm talking about meaningless mergers, which are not meaningless, but very meaningful if they are used to build factories and create jobs for an infinite number of people. Shi Bufan said.

Li Yifu grabbed his head, obviously not knowing what to do? Even many people have never been officials and do not know how to deal with it. You must know that under this kind of authoritarian government in ancient times, the means of disposal were usually through violence and other means as a means of rule.

This can also be seen from many costume dramas, even including many so-called Ming Jun Renjun and even many Qing officials, in fact, many times they also use authoritarian means as "countering violence with violence".

There are even many emperors who want to crack down on extravagance and directly order severe punishment for those who use luxury, but it turns out that it is useless, because if you ask those extravagant officials to carry out this set of orders, will they carry it out? There were even some princes who pretended to wear a patched dress, but in the end they found that the cost of each patch was fifty taels of silver.

Directly enforcing it through violent means will only mess up the entire basic economic order, and it will inevitably rebound in the end. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was almost hit, but many later emperors did so. This is the inevitable result of authoritarian rule in ancient times, and the use of authoritarian rule will inevitably involve various means of direct violence.

Shi Bufan didn't know how to answer when he saw them, and said directly: "Actually, why do many people want to annex land, it is because annexing land is profitable. If there is no interest, why would they go to annex the land? Because they have benefits in the land of the Grace Warriors, they can get a lot of benefits from it. Then we just need to find a way to make them useless through various means without direct violence, and then won't that be the solution? The so-called head-killing business is done, and the loss-making business is not done. We are not violating the most basic rules, and make appropriate adjustments, so that they become 'losing money', and everything can be benefited. ”

Li Yifu suddenly said: "Since this is the case, then we simply collect heavy taxes on those who own more land, and the more land they have, the heavier the taxes will be, and that can be solved." ”

Shi Bufan replied: "Your method is a method, but it is a symptom but not a root cause." Because on the surface, your method can indeed redistribute the land to the common people, but it also faces the same problem, that is, the people will continue to be trapped in the land, unable to get out of the land and engage in other industries. ”

The method mentioned by Li Yifu is actually often used by many traversers, who use the method of collecting heavy taxes on people with a lot of land, hoping to achieve the practice of separating the land again. However, this method seems to curb the annexation of land, but it is also suspected of killing a group of people with a stick.

Because many traversers do not know that there is a difference between benign and malignant land annexation. If there is no distinction, this method of focusing on the month of collecting taxes on more land will certainly disperse the land into the hands of ordinary people. However, once it is dispersed into the hands of ordinary people, the common people will eventually become a small-scale peasant economy that continues to cultivate intensively, and will not be able to move towards industrialization more easily.

Therefore, this method is still too crude, almost ignoring the benign and malignant distinction between land annexation, and will also discourage the benign land annexation of industrial development demand. The land annexed by industrial development is not only not malignant, but benign, because a piece of industrial land of the same area and agricultural land of the same area can create countless times more wealth and jobs than agriculture. Therefore, this direct crude one-size-fits-all use and impose heavy taxes on people with a lot of land, this is also not advisable.

Princess Runan said directly: "I don't agree, because ...... Because the royal family also has a lot of land, do you want the royal family to pay taxes? ”

Princess Runan objected at first, and immediately made Li Yifu realize a problem, as long as there is a so-called "tax-free class" in this world, then such a merger of land soldiers and wealth is inevitable. Princess Runan directly took out a lot of land owned by the royal family, so it directly blocked Li Yifu's mouth. Because he made the royal family pay taxes, did he dare to say this? He didn't dare!

Shi Bufan also smiled, obviously he knew that this simple collection of heavy taxes on those who owned a lot of land was actually a palliative but not a cure. Because he ignores the most basic laws of economics, that is, the truth of "someone does the business that kills the head, and no one does the business that loses money".

In this Datang, there are still tax-free classes, and these tax-free classes can easily harvest other territories through tax-free privileges. It can also be seen from the "contribution" of the Ming Dynasty that many landowners can harvest a large amount of land by dedicating their land to those who are exempt from tax, and those who charge a rent lower than the state, and finally lose the state.

Of course, it is also possible to implement the official gentry of the Yongzheng Emperor as an errand and pay for food, but it is simply crazy to put forward this policy in this era.

Therefore, it is not a desirable way to impose heavy taxes on people with a lot of land. Because he fired a map cannon and directly attacked all land annexations, ignoring those benign land annexations. Even this policy is continuing to encourage the small-scale peasant economy, continuing to force the people to adopt the small-scale peasant economy of the past, and extremely dampening the demand for industrial land.

There are even more side effects of the small-scale peasant economy, such as the inability to develop agricultural technology and the inability to grow food on a large scale, resulting in an increase in population, but the inability of agricultural technology to progress rapidly. Even the consequences of the small-scale peasant economy will be highlighted, such as the lack of a unified organization for the repair of water conservancy facilities. Because the people alone cannot afford to pay for the repair of water conservancy facilities, and even if they can afford it, they do not want others to take advantage of the small peasant mentality. Moreover, many families cut off the drainage without authorization in order to monopolize water conservancy, and so on.

"Hehe, this strategy of collecting more taxes on land, I'm afraid that the rest travelers are copying it according to the tiered electricity and water prices in many cities, as well as the tiered taxes on real estate, right? It's really a stupid bunch, and they haven't even figured out the nature of these things, so they just copy it randomly, and it's strange if they don't make problems! Shi Bufan complained.

For this kind of land-rich people to collect more taxes, most of them are reminded of the way that some governments have proposed ladder water prices, electricity prices, and property taxes in later generations. But they obviously didn't understand that water, electricity, and houses are actually a kind of "consumables". Hydropower is a consumable and claims to be a non-renewable resource. Non-renewable resource conservation is how it should be, so this method is adopted. And the same is true for houses, which are curbed by high taxes in order to curb excessive speculation.

However, many people do not understand the difference in the nature of these things, and many people confuse real estate and land. The house itself does not provide all kinds of additional value, the value of the house is only for living and various human habitation, and the house of living is not able to generate additional value.

However, agricultural land is different, and agricultural land is a "means of production" that can create value. In fact, hydropower itself also has to be divided into nature, if it is residential hydropower, it is naturally impossible to create additional value, and if it is impossible to create additional more value, then Cai Yong's ladder method of restriction is naturally not wrong. The use of ladders for industrial hydropower is to encourage enterprises to create more value with less hydropower, and to encourage enterprises to develop technologies that save hydropower and create more value with less hydropower.

As for the use of high taxes on real estate, it is actually because the housing itself does not generate more value, so in order to avoid wasting value, it is understandable to use this method.

But land is different, and agricultural land itself can create value. A merger that can create more value and greater value is a benign merger. Mergers that do not create more value but reduce value are malignant mergers.

Therefore, many traversers don't understand the difference between them, and directly pat their heads and copy those policies, as if they have found a panacea. This certainly curbs vicious mergers, but on the contrary, even benign mergers that can create more value have also dealt a blow to the map cannon.

This will hit the demand for industrial land, the creation of more value, the process of industrialization, and the creation of more jobs by industrialization, but also the people more strongly bound to agriculture.

"This kind of thinking that treats headaches and pains really doubts how those traversers get to the top. This kind of person who has a headache and a pain in his feet, not to mention whether he can go to the top of the country, even if he barely makes it to the top of the country, he won't survive for two episodes! In order to curb vicious land annexation, even benign land annexation has been cracked down. Using this method to curb annexation is definitely the best panacea for the continuation of feudal society. Because he effectively curbed land annexation, he also curbed industrial land and hit industrial development. And it absolutely maintains the small-scale peasant economic system, and does not allow the development of productive forces, which will not bring about social transformation. Finally, wait for an industrialized country to invade and wipe out en masse! Using this method to maintain feudal society is much more reliable than using sweet potatoes. These guys, they really don't think about any policy and analyze its own nature, and just copy it! Shi Bufan said sarcastically in his heart to those senior traversers.

"Okay, think about it for yourselves, we already have an idea, that is, to make the people who annex the land unprofitable, and this is the way to really curb the annexation. However, in the same way, we can't just stop it with violence, because we also have to think through all aspects, and we can't treat headaches and pains. For example, if part of this is tax-free, then it is certainly not possible to directly use the method of over-taxing land. Moreover, this method of collecting heavy taxes is not conducive to benign land annexation. Nor is it conducive to benign land annexation to create more value, create more jobs, and give more people a way to make a living. ”

"Also, you should think according to local conditions, instead of directly copying a good policy in the field. You have to think about whether this policy is suitable for you here, or even for your time, and if not, don't force it. You should all know the truth of the south orange and the north orange. So don't copy it easily, analyze all aspects clearly, and then figure out the nature of this before deciding. Otherwise, Wang Mang's example is also a lesson for you. ”

Wang Mang's too many policies, that is, they seem to be too ungrounded, completely ignoring the causes and consequences, and directly implementing them. As for whether Wang Mang is a traverser, this time is not clear, and there is no interest in figuring it out, in short, Wang Mang is also a lesson from the past, even if he plagiarizes the policies of later generations, he must consider the essence of the policy clearly, and then he can't blindly copy blindly. In particular, it is necessary to make it clear that the real estate in the city, and the land used for agricultural and industrial production, are not of the same nature and cannot be blindly copied.

As for rent, it is not an additional value, but a kind of "depreciation" compensation for losses, and does not generate any additional value. (To be continued.) )
