Fu Bi's head was not stupid, he thought about it, turned his head, and looked at Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang lowered his eyes, as if he hadn't seen it, wandering out of the world.

Fu Bi is not verbose, what else do others say, Yan Shu's few small orders have not been done yet, there are too many national affairs, those who can work hard, Fan Zhongyan wants to work, hand it over to Fan Zhongyan. It seems that the luck is really good, there is Lu Yiyi who is capable of working hard, and then there are Fan Zhongyan and Zheng Lang, this prime minister is doing comfortably.

Zhang Dexiang saw it very clearly, Fan Zhongyan's change this time was very broad and would not succeed, but he had nothing to do with himself, hung high, and protected himself, but asked for no fault, let you jump away. Du Yan I's fame, but unfortunately because he trusted Fan Zhongyan too much, he plunged into the fog this time. But he is also a stable person, why should he offend Lu Yijian. Jia Changchao almost burst into tears, come back, come back, wandering wanderer, Zhongshu is your cloud, Lu Yijian. Strictly speaking, Fan Zhongyan went to the northwest to receive some small favors from Lu Yijian, and he would not be silent.

What else can Fu Bi say?

If Ouyang Xiu took a group of little brothers, this time Lu Yijian would not want to speak, and he would be able to raise his fists and start a battle.

Zhao Zhen asked suspiciously: "I'm afraid there is a controversy." ”

"Your Majesty, the new policy you initiated, which one is not controversial, at this time the country is terminally ill, how to treat it without the medicine of the tiger and wolf?"

Fu Bi is going to pounce again, is this the conservative Lu Yijian?

It's wrong to think like this, including experts in later generations who played the piano indiscriminately, saying that Lu Yijian was a conservative, and that the Qingli New Deal was ruined by Lu Yijian, and it was nonsense. He is not conservative, but let the tea law frighten, in the second year of Tiansheng, with Li Jian and Liu Yun, he used the sticking method, that is, the trade law to replace the old tea law, it should be said that the tea law in the national income is only a small head, and the turmoil is not big, as a result, all the heroes and strong resentments swarmed, not only Haoqiang, but also Zhao Zhen's teacher Sun Shuang came forward for these heroes. Even in order to settle the dispute, the imperial court had to exile some of Yan Si's subordinates to Shimen Island. Lu Yijian was still unwilling, and resumed the sticking method with Li Jian again in the third year of Jingyu, and the heroes wanted to oppose it, but at that time Lu Yijian's status had been consolidated, so he had an idea, and replaced the original three statements with four sayings, and expressed concessions to the imperial court. As a result, under their step-by-step attack, the tea method was declared a second failure. These two failures made him remember it vividly, and since then, like Zhang Shuo and Yao Chong, they can only carry out reforms in broken steps, that is, the fine-tuning in Zheng Lang's mouth.

It wasn't until Zheng Lang came to the door to talk to Lu Yijian for the sake of the exemption law, and Lu Yijian suddenly opened up.

The failure of Lu Yijian's tea method, as well as the failure of the Qingli New Deal immediately, and the failure of Wang Anshi's Xining reform, are the mean, which is the meanness that Zheng Lang talked about with Zhao Zhen in the palace. To say that is to call it Confucian righteousness. To put it bluntly, once the law is changed, the interests of some powerful and powerful people will be harmed, it is best not to touch their interests, it is really unavoidable, give them some new interests to compensate, appease their emotions, no way, as written in Zheng Lang's Mean, the so-called world is the world of these elites, as for the common people, to hell, it is impossible for the common people to be the masters of the house for 10,000 years.

There is really no way to compensate, to win over a group of new magnates and let them benefit, the magnates are opposing, but the magnates are supporting each other, and the law will be implemented, as long as it is implemented for a few years, or more than ten years into a habit, there will be no more quarrels.

But Zheng Lang has a good burial name, Ren.

This alone is not enough, benevolence is grace, and it also needs to be threatened, and it is necessary to use laws and regulations to sanction and shock.

Where did you see these two new policies for Qingli?

Add to a group of messy, unincomprehensible little brothers jumping up and down, can you fail or not?

Zheng Lang said his thoughts, Lu Yijian was gloomy, and then held Zheng Lang's moderation every day as a quotation. He also talked about the differences between judging things by facts and judging things by people, such a profound philosophical topic. …,

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "Accurate." ”

Lu Yijian said again: "Your Majesty, but down there, it's not the whole field, the big field is more than ten acres, the small field is only a few points, each is not connected, and some of the main fields are scattered in dozens or hundreds, and it is not easy to measure." Therefore, the minister thought that there would be a next edict, and the head of the elderly household in each place measured the acres of land under his jurisdiction, and planted trees as the boundary, marked the land owner, soil color, the size of the field, and the good sores, and then handed it over to the county for the record. When officials go down to measure the acres of land, they measure them according to the 10 volumes of the county government, and those who are not within the scope of the 10 volumes, or who are not true to the acres within the scope of the 10 volumes, are all confiscated. If the head of the elderly household does not carry it out, he will be punished without the head of the senior household. Otherwise, even if an official goes down to count, his eyes are blank. Your Majesty, please think again. ”

Fu Bi was dumbfounded again.

But Lu Yijian and Zheng Lang's intention is not here.

The history of the field and the hidden field is very complicated, the Tang Dynasty first paid taxes with Ding, how much grain and cloth was paid by a Ding, and how much forced labor was borne. As a result, some officials prevented the movement of ordinary people, blocked the roads leading to the outside world in prefectures and counties, and even closed off the businesses of prosperous commercial cities such as Yangzhou and Kaifeng, allowing citizens to return to the countryside to farm. This must be wrong, and later there was Yang Yan's two-tax law. The execution was also not very good, and it caused a lot of controversy. But it benefited the Song Dynasty, and the people of the Song Dynasty were familiar with it, so they continued to use the two-tax law.

The people used the grain, silk, gold and iron and mulberry hemp produced to pay in summer and autumn, and the tax amount was to take their people's land according to the upper, middle and lower three classes of taxes, if the middle field took one-tenth of the stone produced in one season, that is, one bucket to pay taxes to the imperial court.

In fact, it is more than that, otherwise Zheng Lang would not have collected three-tenths of it in Taiping Prefecture, and the people were still smiling. Because in addition to this tax, there are also expenditures, from the transfer fee to the starting point money, the money for hiring boats, etc., there are many names, and the convenience of the people has become a change of harsh people, and the most powerful officials can make a bucket of grain increase to four buckets, and touch the surface, this has been opened since the Tang Dynasty, and the officials kicked it up, and the one who kicked it down was their own, and the most powerful two and a half buckets could kick out only one bucket left.

This is the real dispersion

The income from the conversion of various materials from the two taxes is generally between 30 million and 40 million, and only the two taxes are higher than all the taxes of the Tang Dynasty, but the people are not as burdened by the people of the Tang Dynasty. Because there were a large number of exempt households in the Tang Dynasty, including the once huge five surnames and seven families, the scope of the levy was very small, although it was not as much as that of the Song Dynasty, but the real burden of the taxed households was far heavier than that of the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, in addition to the vocational field, as long as it was a private land, it was necessary to pay two taxes.

The starting point is good, but the disadvantages of the Song Dynasty are also a history of human desire, the poor people have no choice, the big households and the strong have a way, and the merger has little to do with the field, the Song Dynasty has never banned the merger, even if you have 100,000 acres of land, as long as you pay taxes.

How can you escape from this tax, so you hide the field, including the hidden ding who evades the oral service. Most of the hidden fields are made by poor people, but most of them are made by the powerful and powerful.

This certainly bodes badly.

In order to make money, Fan Zhongyan did not let Zhao Zhen reduce the department allocation, did not let Zhao Zhen relax on tea, salt and wine alum, and wanted to sell his official position to make money, how could he sit back and watch so many big families hide their fields and evade the two taxes?

The practice is the same as the Qingli New Deal, only know to check, find out that you must pay taxes, check a county and then check the next county, check a state and then check the next state, there is no specific punitive measures, and I want to target the whole country. As a result, more than 2 million acres of hidden land were found in Shangcai County, which was shocking, but it had to be suspended.

But it caused a worse consequence, seeing that the court was soft when he saw a trouble, so the hidden field was more serious, and finally forced to be helpless, Cai Ting and both Liaocheng and Gao Tangtian, seemed to be successful, and was overthrown again, and then to Bao Zheng, he couldn't take it seriously, he was very smart, he didn't start to check, he was scared back directly, and I couldn't check. …,

Overturned again and again, on the contrary, the phenomenon of hidden fields became more serious, and nearly 700 million mu of cultivated land in the entire Song Dynasty was hidden into 220 million mu, a decrease of 70 percent!

Later generations attributed to the power of the mighty, this is the main reason, but ignoring another reason, the method is inappropriate!

What Lu Yijian said was the result of his consultation with Zheng Lang, which was born out of the Fangtian Average Tax Law, but no, and he didn't even want to investigate the hidden fields in the whole country, just for a deterrent, and the edict was issued, as a basis for further eliminating this malpractice in the future, and the main goal was to hinder the expansion of the scale of hidden fields.

Divide the priorities, measure the national hidden fields in a daze, and look at Wang Anshi, but restore the country's acres of land from 2.2 million hectares to 2.8 million hectares. This is also a theory said in the mean, the adjustment also requires strength, just like kneading dough, kneading more than a dozen catties of noodles with great power, and a few catties of noodles with small ones, but whether you can knead hundreds of catties of noodles is a pure waste of expression, which is similar to what gentlemen are doing now. In layman's terms, it is to do what you can.

This kind of calm, sober, and old-blooded young man definitely doesn't like it, but as Lu Yijian, he likes it very much.

To do big things, you have to do this, not to fight on the battlefield, let's fight, kill one is enough, kill two to earn one, every move in the book, or even write a word casually, at least hundreds of interests will be affected. Can you play like Ouyang Xiu?

Why did you have to say it through Lu Yijian's mouth, because the Gentlemen's Party changed the law and offended many powerful people, and all regarded Lu Yijian as a representative of the conservatives. But God knows if Lu Yijian will be conservative? As soon as he comes forward, he will pull some opposing ministers to express their support.

Both sides are investigating this hidden field, and there will be less resistance to braiding.

And not only that, Lu Yijian said again: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that among the four states, Ru Cai is the closest to the capital, and he has suffered from soldiers and thieves, so he should be pacified at this time and cannot be harassed." There is a Grand Canal in Bozhou, and if you want to relieve the disaster in the north, the Grand Canal is the center of gravity, and the minister thinks that it cannot be harassed. The number of registered fields in the country has dropped from more than 5 million hectares in the time of the first emperor to more than 3 million hectares, and the newly cultivated fields, polder mountains, and mountain fields in various places do not know how many, and the old ministers have lost it. ”

"Lu Qing doesn't have to blame himself......", Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Yijian and rubbed his tears, and said emotionally.

Sure enough, it was the old prime minister, and he immediately said the severity of the matter.

Lu Yijian said slowly: "Your Majesty, it can be seen how many Yintian will have, and where this one pokes it will be a hornet's nest." Therefore, this year, an edict will be issued to establish the laws and standards, and then the envoys will be sent to clear the hidden fields in Shouzhou, learn from the successes and losses, and discuss them after the autumn of next year to see how the country's harvest is, how the finances are, and what the development trend of the hidden fields is, and then make a decision. First, it will be more secure, second, there is a precedent to borrow, and third, it can be deterred first, allowing the hidden farmers a buffer time to reform and reduce disputes, which is a policy to save the country. ”

How good it is, Zhao Zhen said: "Lu Qing, quasi-play." ”

"The minister will say goodbye to His Majesty ......", he couldn't stay any longer, maybe the outside of the palace would be surrounded by Yan Chen, and he hurriedly let Lu Gong push the wheelchair out.

Zhao Zhen looked at his back and said to Fan Zhongyan: "Lu Qing is old, Zhu Qing doesn't have to pursue Lu Qing in the future." ”

But how could it be, Ouyang Xiu and the others went crazy when they heard about it, and countless impeachments were issued to the palace the next day.

Your Majesty, what are you going to do here? It's not that it is good to let Lu Yi Jian Zhishi, from now on, this treacherous evil no longer cares about government affairs, how can he ask about measuring the acres of land, and let him actually enter the palace. This is a very bad sign and must be suppressed immediately.

As for Lu Yijian's action this time, it was actually their cooperation in measuring the acres of land, and Ouyang Xiu didn't care at all.

Looking at the countless vicious words, Zheng Lang felt sorry for Lu Yijian in his heart. Zheng Lang thought of a sentence in his heart, if he wanted a person to perish, let this person go crazy first. After Ouyang Xiu let himself talk about it, just a few days after being honest, he was hysterical again.

As a result, the status of this literary master in Zheng Lang's heart became lighter and lighter. In fact, this time Lu Yijian and his own shot were quite appropriate, especially the choice of Shouzhou, which was very useful! It's strange that no one came up with it.

I can't think of this, and it's a layer!

The scales tip again.
