Chapter 149: Ding Tax
By the time the people from the county yamen came to find them, Fu Mingyi and Xiao Tian had already left Xi County.
The official returned to the county office, and the magistrate touched his chin, "Are you sure it's a purple charm?" ”
The household registration system of the Great Xiao follows the previous dynasty and is basically linked to land. However, by the time of Emperor Tianhe, due to the rapid development of the commodity economy, more people gave up their fields and property, and went from the countryside to the county seat, opened shops, and gradually became business as an heirloom.
Therefore, in the later period, although the household registration of this part of the people was not connected with the land, it was also strictly registered in the county.
These people do not have a certificate that can prove their household registration with them, and if they want to go far away to other cities, they must carry a "road guide" issued by the local government to pass.
But people with status will carry talismans with them. The talismans of Da Xiao are wooden, bone, jade, etc., and the identities and functions they prove are also different. And they are not the same color, the most valuable of which is the jade talisman used by the royal family, followed by the bone talisman used by the princes and nobles, and the wooden talisman used by the ministers of the middle rank of the court.
Purple Talisman...... Even if it's wooden, it's a much bigger official than the county magistrate.
The magistrate pondered that there was something terrible about the official or the people around him who had come to Xi County recently.
The official under the hall hesitated for a moment, "I saw that it was a purple ......."
"Purple, isn't it a talisman?" The magistrate continued to ask.
The ...... couldn't find anyone now, and he wasn't sure about it.
"Like a talisman......"
"What material?"
"At that time, I only saw a corner, but I didn't see the ......"
Zhixian rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, "You will pass by and say it again." ”
The official said it again in detail.
The magistrate listened to it twice, thought about it carefully, and said, "You go and ask the people at the gate of the city, have you ever seen these two people out of the city." Also, keep an eye on the wonton stall for a few more days, just in case. ”
The official below hurriedly responded, turned around and went out on an errand.
The magistrate silently wondered if he should go to Nanhua in the north to ask.
At this time, Fu Mingyi and Xiao Tian were rushing to the place of Fengxian in Yingzhou.
In recent years, Xiao Tian has learned the art of riding and archery, although she has struggled with archery, but her riding skills are excellent.
She felt that it had something to do with the fact that she and Mr. Wu had learned the body method.
She still had a lot of questions in her heart, and she didn't know where to start for a while, and Fu Mingyi rode fast, and the cold wind poured into her ears all the way, so she didn't have time to ask anything.
Finally, when they took a break, Xiao Tian asked, "What's going on in Xixian County?" ”
Fu Mingyi was combing the horse, and when he heard her ask, he said, "It's not a big deal." ”
He tilted his face slightly, "Curious?" ”
Xiao Tian nodded, isn't this something obvious?
"Which part is curious?"
There are too many things that Xiao Tian is curious about.
Moreover, after going back, Fu Mingyi quickly decided to abandon the carriage and become a lightly armed fast horse, and left the city almost immediately.
This speed is like hiding from some kind of trouble.
Fu Mingyi would definitely not make such a decision for no reason.
"I didn't understand it from the wonton stand. You've been in a hurry before, and you won't talk about it properly, but why are we in such a hurry, will they come back to us? ”
Fu Mingyi said: "Since you asked, then I will test you, do you know which people do not need to pay Ding tax in our South School." ”
Xiao Qian thought for a while, "At least there should be an official body, and the princes and nobles above the above, as well as the royal relatives and relatives, do not need to pay Ding tax." ”
Fu Mingyi nodded, "Why don't these people pay the Ding tax?" ”
This......
"Didn't my brother teach, isn't this a continuation of the previous dynasty?"
Fu Mingyi nodded again, "It's right to follow the old system." However, if it is used to Nanxiao, does Qingran think it is reasonable? ”
Xiao Tian saw that he was asking seriously, so he shook his head and said, "Naturally, it's unreasonable." ”
"Where is it unreasonable?"
Xiao Qian thought for a while, "Some people pay and some people don't, so the national tax is equivalent to being borne twice by the person who pays, how can it be reasonable." ”
Fu Mingyi glanced at her approvingly, "But although it's unreasonable, why didn't you cancel it?" ”
Xiao listened to something meaningful.
She pondered the events of the past few days.
"Brother wants to cancel the Ding tax?"
This is not an easy thing to do.
Even if she ignores the government and politics, she knows that once she does this, it will be equivalent to moving a large part of the cake.
With her limited knowledge of history, she can imagine that even if Fu Mingyi succeeds in the end, his fate will not be too good.
Even if people recognize their achievements and ideas hundreds of years later, there are really few successful retirements and enjoy their old age.
To be honest, she didn't want to see Fu Mingyi have such a dismal result.
Fu Mingyi sorted out the horse's hair and fed another candy cube, and the horse flicked its tail happily, wanting to get closer to Fu Mingyi.
"I want to, but it's not the time yet."
"So this time I went to Yingzhou, is there a reason for this?"
"Do you know why the people from Dingzhou ran to Yingzhou?"
Xiao Tian can be understood at one point.
"Yingzhou tax is light."
Fu Mingyi nodded, "This is one thing. ”
"And what about the other aspect?"
"There are few people in Yingzhou, so the state army in Yingzhou often cultivates in their spare time and abandons their fields in wartime."
He patted the horse's head, "In the past three years, all localities have recruited troops and rectified military affairs, because the training of troops has increased on weekdays, the fields are barren and no one cultivates, so Yingzhou has introduced a tax reduction policy to attract people from all over the world." ”
Xiao Tian nodded, the benefits of tax cuts to people are directly reflected, so in this way, there must be many people who are willing to come here.
"Harurome think about it, is this good or bad?"
Xiao Tian thought about it seriously, and originally wanted to say that it should be a good thing, but after changing his mind, he understood what Fu Mingyi meant.
For Yingzhou, there are more people, the fields are also managed, the tax revenue has increased, and the economic output value has also risen, which is naturally a good thing.
But for the places where the population has moved out, they will suffer a lot under the same tax pressure.
The most immediate result is that those who stay in the state will teach more people, and then this part of the population will want to flee the place even more.
In the long run, it's a vicious circle.
Fu Mingyi knew that Xiao Tian had figured it out.
She has always learned things quickly, but she doesn't like to express her thoughts in front of him and Xiao Yan.
Once, he gave them a lecture about the southward migration of Jiangzhou's population.
He seemed to have asked how to deal with this phenomenon.
Xiao Yan talked eloquently, but she didn't say a word.
He happened to see her glance at Xiao Yan, as if he didn't quite agree. But no matter how he asked, Xiao Tian didn't express his opinion.
At this time, Xiao Tian nodded, so when he went to Yingzhou, he must not only investigate Zhao Ziyuan or Feng Zhengmin.
