Chapter 186: Use (I)
Liu Wensuo has only one daughter, and he died young, he is the real desireless, he will not be afraid of Zhao Kuangyi, nor will he be afraid of Zhao Pu, on the contrary, both Zhao Kuangyi and Zhao Pu are a little afraid of him. So Li Lizheng and the steward were found, and the case could not be judged, so they had to negotiate a settlement, and let the steward compensate for the medical expenses, no matter what, he injured someone, and wanted to see a doctor for others, and persuaded Li Lizheng not to be so dark, he came to the test, and sold an acre of land for 35 yuan. In fact, after saying it, he himself felt ridiculous, so the land price that came?
The steward said that we would compensate for the medical expenses, but he did not agree with the price. Li Lizheng said that we don't agree either, Liu Zhongcheng, don't we sell it?
Liu Wensuo said: "Okay." ”
This is not a system formulated by others, it is the system formulated by Zhao Pu, the Tang Dynasty opposed the annexation, and in fact, it was precisely because of the annexation that it led to chaos in the world. It was impossible to forcibly prohibit annexation, so the sale of land was tacitly approved. However, there were three conditions, the first was not to be forcibly bought and sold, and the second was that the tenant farmers were landless and could not afford to pay taxes on the land, which had to be borne by the subject and guest of the annexation. Thirdly, tenant farmers have the freedom to quit their tenants, as well as personal rights, that is, the policy of Qi Min, so that everyone can be equal to the greatest extent.
Most of the implementation, but there were various problems when it was implemented, such as the Bashu, the whole division of the male uprising, but the people of Bashu suffered, the people followed the uprising, and the government had to rely on the strength of the local tyrants and squires to suppress it. This price is to acquiesce in more rights of the squire, so there are few tenant farmers in Bashu who have personal rights, and they are really side households, that is, the kind with few rights to freedom, even less than the Tang Dynasty's trilogy, and slaves. As for the Kuixia area, it is even worse. Not to mention the Han slaves, the barbarian slaves also lived a dark life.
Local officials in order to forcibly collect taxes. To improve political performance, owning a cemetery also taxed tenant farmers as the main household. Or ignore the imperial decree and save the property for taxes. Tenant farmers not only paid rent, but also had to pay two taxes and bear all kinds of forced labor.
As a result, another situation was formed, that is, floating households, also called displaced households, who left their hometowns for various reasons, including wars and uprisings. Invasions, or disasters, after a long time, are not registered with the government, they will not bear any taxes, some landlords and big merchants will hire them. They may not be able to please them, because they are not registered in the household register, and many landlords give low treatment and no personal security. For this situation. It was also stipulated that floating customers can be naturalized after one year of tenantship. Regardless of whether they can collect taxes or not, they can at least protect certain rights. But it didn't work very well, and countless floaters in the Song Dynasty were not in the book. Including the two tenants of the Song Jiu family, Zhu Yang's family, even they couldn't figure out where they were from, and they didn't see any officials come to register for them.
Other powerful people have a bad mentality. Strictly speaking, the strategy that Zhao Pucai began to formulate was Qi people, and the tenant farmers had certain rights. But then the performance was overthrown, and the tenant farmer killed the owner and had to die. The landlord killed the tenant farmer, and the law was divided into five classes.
It is precisely because of various circumstances that the Song Dynasty had a lot of names for tenant farmers, such as floating guest, household guest, sub-field guest, cattle guest, small guest, side household, servant, servant, tenant, farmer, slave, slave, etc.
Some are similar in nature, and some are worlds apart. The name of a slave is not necessarily a slave, and the name of the side household seems to be a relative, which is actually the worst. Cattle customers are the best, although they are customers, but there are cattle in their hands, it is property. The tenants and servants were the closest tenants to the main household, and they collected the rent from the main household.
The barbarian area in the Kuixia area is not counted, and those barbarian slaves are too miserable to call them by shouting. In general, the Song Dynasty is progressing, and even the Ming and Qing dynasties may not be more "Qi people" than the Song Dynasty.
Li Lizheng said that he would not sell it, and Liu Wensuo could only sentence him not to sell it.
But the steward is not convinced, he is a common man, but there are more than 200 people standing behind him, so in turn to impeach Liu Yushi and punish him unfairly, it is also a simple reason, although the people must not be forced to sell land, but they must also be judged according to their circumstances, otherwise the government will requisition the land, and the people will learn from it, all of them will be difficult, and they will bid for a high price, how can the government land be expropriated?
Not to mention anything else, just like the resettlement of the victims this time, the imperial court also learned the method of Song Jiu last year, and organized these disaster victims to build roads and dig water conservancy, there are many unsatisfactory places, but it can be regarded as a solution to the wandering of the disaster victims.
These projects are not too big, but they also occupy some land for the common people, and the government has made a little compensation, which is not fair at all. If Liu Wensuo's verdict is followed, wouldn't the government have done something wrong?
The money is not too much, only more than 200 acres of land, the difference is 30 acres per mu, but only 6,000 yuan, but this case is very controversial. The public said that the principle of the public, and this principle was formulated by Zhao Pu himself, and the reason of the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law, no matter what the system, it was not in the city, or more than 20 yuan of land in the city. Li Lizheng is insatiable.
Guan Jian put aside ulterior motives, such as hostility to Zhao Pu, or scolding Zhao Pu, standing on a fair standpoint, both sides seem to be reasonable. In fact, it was Zhao Chengzong's side that gradually gained the upper hand, but Liu Wensuo suddenly became stronger.
He was also confused, so he went down to investigate, and a lot of problems came out.
Including the various methods used by all the managers to gain the land in the past, it is not the first time that people have been beaten, and I don't know how many times they have been beaten. There is also the problem of employing people, and the people of Lianghe are also used, and some demolition households are also resettled, and some floating customers are requisitioned. The latter is cheap, and the former Zhao Chengzong also wants to do good deeds.
But this mind is limited, and it is this mindset that leads to many problems.
There was a problem at the beginning, some of the stewards abused the workers and servants, everywhere, Zhao Chengzong said a few words lightly, and he didn't take it seriously. There is also the salary of labor, the daily salary on the Hezhou side is not high, only 50 Wen, and it is also 50 Wen here. But the mentality of the two is different, even if they hire someone, they are not as serious and diligent as Hezhou, so the steward will be scolded and even beaten. Zhao Chengzong didn't say much when he saw Song Jiu, you will win people's hearts, I can't do it, can you say it?
The contradictions accumulated, and Song Jiu finally had a large-scale attack when he hired people. Song Jiu gives a very high salary, and there are enough holidays, the two situations are different, there are people over there are picks and picks, it is mutual return, there are many rules, of course, the people's enthusiasm is also high, this is a benign interaction, although the salary is high, with these people are diligent, it is also worth it.
I also think here, but the rate of return is different, it belongs to the popular store workshop, win by volume, profits can't keep up, and salaries naturally can't keep up. Zhao Chengzong talked with Song Jiu and complained by chance, and Song Jiu explained the profit relationship. Zhao Chengzong is not easy to say, what does it have to do with him even if he is given a salary of 100 yuan?
However, this led to the slackness of the workers and servants, the tightening of the stewardship, and the imposition of various unequal contracts with them. As for flogging, abuse is a regular occurrence.
The Yushitai came down to investigate, so he sued and complained bitterly.
Song Jiu had long expected the various relationships in between, but it was difficult for people in this era to understand, and so was Liu Wensuo, anyway, he thought that Zhao Chengzong abused the workers and servants and oppressed the people, so he handed these records to Zhao Kuangyin. Not only the land, but Your Majesty, if you look at these situations again, the old minister will not say whether to pay taxes or not, so far Kaifeng County has not seen a penny of taxes. Then he handed over a bill, which was the record of Hezhou and Song Jiu's industry. The commercial tax of the Song Dynasty generally refers to formal commercial transactions, such as a piece of cloth, which Party A sells to Party B, and the transaction is generated, and the transaction is 20 wen yuan for a transaction, and 30 yuan for the re-shipment of 30 yuan. It can't be regarded as too heavy, the more Guan Jian exploits the way back, and after one county, he has to pay one county tax, and after ten counties, he has to pay ten county taxes, which leads to heavy harshness. In fact, it is only the powerless and powerless small and medium-sized businessmen who really pay taxes, so the whole country is unfair.
To be precise, no matter what transaction is generated, you have to pay business tax, even if it is a wine shop, but this is not easy to count and not easy to collect, for example, the eldest sister's restaurant, she herself doesn't know how much Lu Dao is, how to levy it?
Shundian paid it, the profit is too amazing, Song Jiu doesn't pay it, it is estimated that Zhu Yanei will also pay it, seeing its profits, Zhu Yanei is not a fool, is he really not afraid of other people's eyes? Therefore, the tax is strictly paid at 2% of the turnover. This payment is a scary tax, it has only been open for more than three months, including the Chengguo tax, as well as Song Jiu's two workshops, a total of more than 54,000 taxes have been paid.
Liu Wensuo was also shocked, he was a little unaccustomed to seeing all kinds of playgrounds, but after seeing the tax bill, he didn't say anything, play, as long as you don't kill anyone, as long as you don't get a mixed bath, play as you like.
"That's a lot." Zhao Kuangyin muttered.
"It's a lot, but everything in the store is expensive, Lao Chen heard that the highest meal, someone actually ate more than 1,300 yuan in one meal, Lao Chen didn't know what they ate?"
"Liu Zhongcheng, come with me."
"Where?"
"Come on, pass on Zhao Xianggong, Kaifeng Mansion Yin, Li Xianggong, and Chu Si envoy to come."
"What do you want?"
"I'll take you to this feast of 1,300 yuan."
"Your Majesty can't."
"Liu Qing, not only to eat, I still don't understand a lot, I want to eat this meal and ponder."
"Your Majesty, this is a waste."
"Alas, let's just treat it as if it doesn't," Zhao Kuangyin said, waving a recital. More than 50,000 yuan is enough for him to eat dozens of meals.
"Your Majesty, if you don't go to Lao Chen, I'm afraid that if you eat this meal, you won't be able to sleep for several nights."
"Liu Qing, go, I will believe that you have gained, and I want to use someone."
"Who."
"Song Jiu, you can't let him wander outside anymore."
"Yes, the old minister also thinks that it can be used, the country lacks ministers everywhere, but it is a waste to let a person wander outside."
"Liu Qing, have you thought about it, if you use it, what will you do with those techniques, what will you do with those students?"
"This, this ......"
"Liu Qing, I make a bet with you," Zhao Kuangyin looked at the bill, thought of betting, and suddenly came to the spirit, it seems that there is nothing to do, it is not bad to bet together, and said: "And Song Jiu will not want to come to the court, if I lose, you are not allowed to eat a meal and sleep for a few nights."
