Zheng Lang thinks that it is good, when people's hearts are not satisfied, so set up a floating before the first implementation, and when the implementation is dissatisfied, quarrelsome, quarrelsome, it doesn't matter, you can take a step back in this floating standard, just like buying something, making a counteroffer, and paying back a little price, and the customer will have a sense of satisfaction in his heart. If they refuse to give in to a penny, unless the brand has this qualification, but compared to these heroes, the imperial court may not be a big brand that makes them completely retreat.

Even psychology is used.

It seems that the effect is also good, and it has been implemented one after another, and it has been noisy for a while, and the errand service has been very hard in recent years, and the states and counties have gradually quieted down.

Several of the ministers who proposed it were relieved and afraid.

But the crisis arose just a few months later.

Zheng Lang was still negligent in one issue, and when Wang Anshi implemented the exemption law, he was also implementing another change, the Fangtian Equal Tax Law.

During the Zhenzong Dynasty, the highest area of cultivated land in the imperial court reached more than 5 million hectares, and the lowest in the Zhao Zhen Dynasty shrank to 2.3 million hectares. Where did the 300 million acres of arable land go? Not barren, but on the contrary, at least 50 million hectares of new arable land have been added. The reason for the reduction, all the concealment, and the reason for the concealment is to evade taxes.

This phenomenon is very bad, the Song Dynasty tax transfer, the highest tax reached 160 million guan, while the two taxes were less than 50 million, that is, the two taxes only accounted for about 30 to 40 percent of the tax ratio, unlike other dynasties, which accounted for 90 percent.

But it is also the focus of the imperial court's taxation, these taxes dare not be less, and can only be apportioned to the small and medium-sized farmers who dare not hide their fields, so Wang Anshi was forced to implement the Fangtian Average Tax Law. Now that there is no statistics from the household department, Zheng Lang estimated that there were at least more than 6 million hectares of real land in the imperial court, and at most half of the reported land.

Didn't dare to touch it.

Now that Zheng Lang is too young and the two parties are at war, it is not the time for reform.

Even how to change it, Zheng Lang didn't come up with a way.

But it is precisely because of this that it affects the exemption law.

The essence of this reform of the exemption law is very modest, and the interests of Haoqiang are taken care of to the greatest extent, including the gradual halving of taxes according to each equal portion, and the new law is simple, as long as the imperial court divides the state capital and the equal share and standard according to the previous tax situation, and then hands it over to the state and county to deal with, the space for activity is large, the degree of freedom is strong, and the law has become simple and not rigid. and wooed Han Fan and the others, these two are the leaders of the Junzi Party, even Lu Yijian retreated, and they echoed, at this time, the Junzi Party was also the most powerful, and there were many people who supported it.

It can be said that it is extremely beneficial to grasp the timing and political situation.

However, there is trouble.

The trouble is in the calculation of property, excluding the livestock of cultivated land, and the houses, fields, workshops, ships, vehicles, and so on. Among them, the cultivated land property is in the bright place, and it has become the largest head, so a part of the Haoqiang further hides the land.

Although the amount of money paid for exemption from military service is very small, the more money you have, the more money you pay, the actual proportion is very small, and the property of the wealthy above 100,000 yuan is only 0.23 percent of the property counted by the tax, which is almost close to the city tax. But the heroes are still not satisfied, and they just hide in the field, not only to avoid the service tax, but also to evade the two taxes. So the limelight in Hideta became even stronger.

However, the total amount of exempt money levied by a state government is unchanged, and even if it fluctuates, it will not be very large, so the exempt money will be apportioned to the third and fourth class households again, and even the fifth class households will also be affected. That is, if it continues to develop, the exemption law does not mention its original goal, and it also affects the country's two taxes.

"Can't they be satisfied?" Fan Zhongyan said angrily.

Taxation is very heavy, and there is another reason for tax evasion, in fact, the taxation is very light, and the implementation of the exemption law, the rich are the biggest beneficiaries.

"Brother Xiwen, people's hearts."

"People's hearts?"

"During this time, I have only been in Beijing for a short time, and I can't spare much time to understand the situation of the imperial court. After a while, I will focus on benevolence and righteousness, which is benevolence and righteousness, altruism and self-interest, and the good and evil of people's surnames. Promoting good and eliminating evil, and altruism are the needs of social groups, but as an ontology, people's hearts are mostly for themselves, and when they are involved in their own interests, it is difficult to take care of the interests of others, including the interests of the country. Therefore, the gentleman has become a rare person and a model for the gentleman of the world. ”

Fan Zhongyan didn't have the heart to joke with him, if this bad momentum expanded, the consequences would be very bad, and asked: "Xingzhi, is there a good plan?" ”

Yes, the average tax on the square land, the actual acres of land, and a very small number of Haoqiang have the deed shares of the Ping'an Prison and the Cane Sugar Workshop, which can be used to punish them, however...... However...... This is not a romance, once it arises, strife is imagined.

Shaking his head, he said, "I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I haven't come up with a good idea, so I'm here to negotiate with you today and see what a good idea is?" ”

The method Fan Zhongyan quickly thought of one, and measured the acres of land, but he was not a young man, and he immediately thought of the consequences, his eyes were blank, and he didn't know what to do.

"Or do you want to consult with Hikooki and Achi-kyi again?" Zheng Lang said hesitantly.

The exemption law is only the first step, and he will have a bigger move next, Lu Yijian is kind and persuades Zheng Lang to do more, but don't make changes, and don't get involved in the struggle between the two parties, now he is still young, to accumulate some popularity and experience, after a few years, he came back from the Khitan, and he is thirty, with qualifications, authority, age, and the emperor's favor, being the prime minister is not a dream, and that is the time to do things.

And Lu Yijian is also keenly aware that there will be chaos in the past few years, and the political situation is difficult to say, and the political situation can only be clarified after a few years.

But there is a question of timing, and it is also important to take advantage of the situation.

The heavy labor brought about by the Northwest War was the timing of the implementation of the exemption law, and the uprising between Wang Lun and Zhang Hai was the second opportunity. After this village, there is no such shop. Everyone is healed, the scar has forgotten the pain, who will support this change. Moreover, the Gentlemen Party is in power, and they like to take big steps, and when the "Lilliputians" are in power, the policy will become very conservative.

This is the second opportunity, and it should not be missed.

Until then, this drawback must be addressed.

But the gentlemen's party obviously did not come up with a good plan, the method is simple, as long as the phenomenon of hidden fields is stopped, there will be no trouble. But with only two taxes being collected, Yintian couldn't stop it, but Zheng Lang faintly felt that there was an opportunity, Guo Zheng, a thousand steps of Fangtian Law!

There was a lot of controversy, so it was handed over to the Gentlemen, and he retreated to the background to lead the way.

The time has not yet come.

came back from Fan Zhongyan's place, but received an unexpected invitation post.

Eight sages Wang Zhao Yuanyan sent, the history books record one thing about him, the northwest used soldiers, to give the public money of 500,000 to help the side, the emperor did not want to refuse, listened to half of it, and asked Yishan (Wang Fu official) Wang Lian, Yuan Haoping is not? Yes, no. And he said, "In this case, what is the prime minister?" Those who hear it are afraid of what they say. So it was rumored to be the king of the eight sages, and said that he united Kou Zhun, Yang Liulang, Fan Zhongyan and Bao Zheng, it was just nonsense, Kou Zhun would not put the eight sages in his eyes, if Yang Liulang was taken care of by the eight kings, it would not be impossible for officials to move high, Fan Zhongyan and Lu Yijian fought all their lives, what is the relationship with the eight kings, Bao Zheng's entry into Beijing was recommended by Wang Gongchen, and when the eight sages died, it was just a small imperial history.

Even these 500,000 are a big problem.

The truth is that Yuan Yan led Jingyang Erzhen, and gave 25,000 yuan a year, which is only cash, as well as silk, grain, charcoal, job fields, and others, and the actual amount given is at least three times more, and it may even be close to 100,000 yuan!

The use of troops in the northwest, the officials have been slightly reduced, and the Yuan Yan year should be half of the money, but the Yuan Yan has no moderation, and even borrowed a few years of materials, Yishan Wang Lian advised that there are border troubles, and it is advisable to help the court to use the degree, Yuan Yan said a sentence: "Worry about killing." ”

I don't have enough money every year, how can I live this halving? This made Zheng Lang very confused, a little less, Yuan Yan took about 70,000 yuan of money and silk grain from the imperial court a year, this 70,000 yuan is not a piece, but a wisp, the purchasing power is equivalent to nearly 40 million yuan in later generations, and there is no need to buy a mansion, the imperial court gave him a luxurious house, how to use it!

Wang Jian admonished again, Yuan Yan had no choice but to obey, and squeezed out 500,000 yuan, which was 500 yuan, compared to his huge expenditure, it was a drizzle. Soon after, Zhao Zhen thought that Yuan Yan was his uncle, and he didn't want to cut the damage, so he gave it all to him. It is estimated that Zhao Zhen also has a headache, I squeezed around, I want you to be an uncle and bring a good head, but you don't bring it, you only squeeze out 500 yuan, but let me take on a name, it is better not to want you to have 500 yuan.

This is the truth of the Eight Wise Kings.

But many ministers are very jealous of him, including Zhang Dexiang and Du Yan, who are all rising stars, except for Lu Yijian, who retired from illness, and none of them have such deep qualifications to dare to compete with the emperor's only uncle, so they are more jealous.

Zheng Lang brought a sentence over: "The clan and the ministers are the Milky Way in the world, the two are separated, the way of heaven is also, the way of heaven is broken, and the country will not be a country." ”

Won't go to your house.

Whether you have good intentions or other intentions, I will be my prime minister innocently, you are good or cheap, and it has nothing to do with me. But I handed over a layer of meaning, the two of us are not related, I will not be afraid that you will come to me for trouble, and you don't have to worry about my trouble with your son after he dies of old age.

But Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi had just come to the court, and they were very quiet before everything was clarified.

This is the moment before dawn, and the quieter it is, the more vigorous it will be...... At this time, it rained in Kaifeng.

Late at night in May, most people had fallen asleep, and suddenly there were a few thunders in the sky, Zhao Zhen hurriedly got up from the bed, didn't even have time to tie his clothes, stood outside the hall and looked at the sky and muttered prayers. After a while, the rain fell, Zhao Zhen's clothes were all wet, and the eunuch pulled him in without pulling, first dancing, then looking at the sky and thanking him again and again, until the rain stopped for a while, and then entered the dormitory.

The next day, the auxiliary ministers congratulated, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "It doesn't rain for a long time, I burn incense and pray in the sky, last night I suddenly heard a slight thunder in the dormitory, hurriedly put on a crown belt, and Lu Li, after a while the rain came, the clothes were wet, until the rain came, and then I thanked him, before I dared to ascend, and since then I still hope that the seedlings can be saved." ”

Zhang Dexiang said: "If it is not for Your Majesty's sincerity, how can it be like this? ”

Zhao Zhen said: "It turns out that I want to make an edict against myself, and I am afraid that I am close to worshipping a false name, so it is better to pray carefully all night." ”

Listening carefully to this sentence, it makes people feel more and more sad.

I have made an edict to blame me alone, but what does an edict say? Is it taking responsibility or passing the buck? Humility so!

At least at this moment, Zheng Lang felt that Zhao Zhen was very sad. If it rains in the future, it will not fall, not only this year, but there will be a few years, drought and flood disasters, the Yellow River repeatedly burst the embankment, and several sons have died one after another, confusing Zhao Zhen's life. So much so that Zhao Zhen didn't know what the problem was, and his nerves were a little confused in the first few years before he died.

He suddenly bowed down, gave a deep bow to several prime ministers, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to ask for. ”

He has been hesitant in his heart, there are too many troubles, and the improvement of the exemption law has brought serious negative factors, which can't help but make Zheng Lang hesitate all the time and don't want to change. It was only then that he made up his mind to at least do something.

Zhang Dexiang and the others immediately said: "Xingzhi, please say what you want to say, you don't need to give this big gift." ”

It's all Zaifu, and I can't stand it.

"For the sake of Your Majesty, for the sake of this country, and the people of Limin, I have some ideas in my heart, but if I implement it, there will be disputes, please help me."
