Chapter 198: Lack of Money (Four Changes)
"Hehe......" Tao Qini smiled when she heard this, "Landlord? How do you feel when you listen to Mr. Yao talk about history these days? ”
"Thoughts?" Tao Liuyi's eyes wandered and thought for a while, "I feel that it is repeating, the founding of the country, the prosperity of the world, the rise of the middle, and the decline of the decline." ”
Tao Qini raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said with a smile, "Day after day farming, rent collection, rent-free, studying, exams, fame, land annexation and bankruptcy of farmers, population growth, famine and uprising, and then enter the next cycle." ”
Yao Changsheng, who came back to his senses, looked at her and suddenly said, "How to avoid it?" ”
This word avoidance is familiar, and I told Tao Liuyi two days ago, but I didn't go deeper.
Vigil, idle and idle, "This is unavoidable, to put it bluntly, future generations cannot understand the suffering of the founding king, and cannot empathize." The First Emperor thinks about the generations! How it only passed to Qin II. Aren't those great emperors smarter than us, they can't see it, but they are still powerless. Tao Qini looked at them calmly and said, "The ancestors have too many capable people who have thought about this issue, and they have almost said all the ideas that can be thought of and cannot be imagined. But the result is still a cycle. ”
"What about the change?" Yao Changsheng looked at her and said suddenly.
"Change, do you check which change in history was not accompanied by blood, like an uprising, and blood flowed like a river. It's not just words, but the person who proposed the change, Shang Ying was torn apart. Tao Qini looked at her coldly and said, "How did it change?" You first have to figure out why it's so repetitive. ”
"It's too big a topic." Yao Changsheng closed his eyes and looked at her and said.
"In fact, this country is the same as a family, Uncle Zheng said that when you open up the wasteland, you have to struggle for five generations to have the appearance of a home." Tao Qini's clear eyes looked at them and said, "What about these five generations!" The ability to be in charge of the house, this day is thriving, cultivating and reading heirlooms, in those who have taken the examination to gain fame, and if they have an official body, they will change their courts. If you are in charge of the house, you eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, do not learn and have no skills, and God does not open your eyes, there will be natural disasters, droughts, floods...... Get! The catastrophe was devastating, and the family was ruined. ”
"When you think about it, it's exactly the same!" Tao Liuyi looked at her with sparkling eyes and said, "It's like the Western Han Dynasty that Nier just mentioned, it took five generations to beat the Huns." ”
"That's right! Han Gaozu, the Huns are stronger than us! Wait for Lao Tzu to slow down and beat you to death!
Lv Hou, the child's father is right!
Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, I will first repair Chang'an City and restore the people's strength.
Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty continued to recuperate.
Emperor Jing of Han, wait until I clean up the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.
When I arrived at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, grandpa, grandma, grandpa, grandfather, father, I went to beat the Huns! And then it slowly started to go downhill. Tao Qini looked at them with sparkling eyes and said.
"Hehe......" Yao Changsheng shook his head and said with a smile when he heard this, "People have worked hard for five generations, and these are just a few words in your mouth." ”
"Am I wrong? The words are concise and to the point, but the language is not gorgeous, and there is no such thing! Tao Qini raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said.
"Nope." Yao Changsheng looked at her and shook his head slightly.
"I understand!" Tao Fifteen hurriedly nodded.
"Huh...... Dad, you're so cute. Tao Qini said with a smile when she heard this.
"Go!" Tao Fifteen's face turned red and said, "Dare to make fun of your father." ”
"For thousands of years, every dynasty has not been able to get around a big hole." Tao Qini looked at them calmly and said.
"What pit?" Tao Liuyi asked curiously.
"Lack of money!" Tao Qini's red lips opened lightly and spit out two words.
"That's right! This tax is paid to the grandchildren. Shen nodded when he heard this.
"But why! It is said that this emperor sits on the world, so why not. Tao fifteen looked at her puzzled and said.
"This day has been defeated, and the problems left by the previous dynasty will be solved more or less, such as cleaning up the old magnates and redistributing the land, cracking down on the heroes and landlords to prevent them from becoming big, and so on." Tao Qini looked at them and talked eloquently, "And in order to make the country stable for a long time, the founding monarchs and ministers often don't toss much, and basically focus on recuperation. The emperor and the heroes are from the bottom again, this hard and simple is a tradition, reluctant to eat, reluctant to wear, porridge and side dishes. After a pause, he said, "This will cost less." In addition to the salaries given to officials and the rewards and goods given to meritorious officials with knighthoods, the imperial court had nothing to spend. Most of the taxes collected each year go into the treasury and then take out when the money is needed. In the war to establish the dynasty, let the peasants get rid of the constraints of the landlords, and they could be peasants with their own land with their daughters-in-law and children. These people pay taxes, and the court will have money. ”
Yao Changsheng understood as soon as he heard it, they were all ordinary peasants, not tenant farmers, and the tax collection of the imperial court was smooth.
If the number of people who pay taxes in Yan Court is only about 30%, then the population of people who pay taxes in the new dynasty can reach more than 70%, isn't this the tax doubled!
There's money!
After some rectification, the new dynasty got rid of the shortcomings of the previous country and went into battle lightly.
A newly established imperial court, as long as it does not toss around, can reach prosperity in two generations.
"This life is stable, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I have children, which is like a litter of rabbits. There is still so much grain, even if it encourages land reclamation, it can't keep up with the increase in the number of people, which is not enough to eat. And this man was not born to carry a hoe to farm, it takes time for him to grow. In addition, it is impossible for the weather to be smooth every year, so build water conservancy. It takes money. Where there is a famine, disaster relief, money is needed. The surroundings are not honest, and when they fight, they need more money. Tao Qini sighed lightly and said, "All of them are monsters who only eat and don't vomit and swallow money." ”
"Speaking of war, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty enjoyed fighting, but he lost the accumulation of several generations of his fathers." Tao Qini looked at Yao Changsheng and said, "Mr. Yao's family history should know how much money is burned in wars. ”
"Hmmm! Swords, guns, swords, halberds are all made of copper and iron, and death is expensive, death is expensive. Each expedition had to prepare food for hundreds of thousands of people, and the granaries in various places could be emptied. Yao Changsheng looked at them and said.
"There are always sacrifices in war, and the pension is a lot of money. Those soldiers who have made meritorious contributions must also be added to the ranks. Once the number of officials and knights increases, it means that the expansion of the ranks of court officials may reach several times that of the early years of the founding of the country. Money again. Tao Qini looked at them and said.
