The powerful and capable people hide the population, and the tax of the population is the main tax of the imperial court, and the imperial court cannot collect taxes, and the lack of finances can only collect more taxes from the ordinary people who have no power and no power and do not avoid taxes.

In the long run, civilians will not be able to survive, so they will have to find a way to survive.

They have only one way, and that is to rebel, kill all the existing vested interests, kill the fear, and break the cover of interests, so that they can find space for survival.

Mother said, do not stand in opposition to the people of the world, the royal family is supported by the people, so we must protect the people, and we should have a complementary relationship with the people, not enemies.

Mother also said that the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and Zhao Jiajun was a group of barefoot people back then, with only one life to fight, so he was not afraid of failure.

"Never fight for the survival capital of the common people, when they lose everything, they will have nothing to fear; Never put yourself in opposition to civilians. ”

The new tax is a measure of benevolence to the people by the royal family and the imperial court.

The tax has always been linked to labor, and labor is divided into regular service and miscellaneous service, and miscellaneous labor Zhao Hanzhang has been canceled, and there are still some major items left in regular service.

Zhao Mingming said: "Today, the yield per mu of wheat has reached six stones, rice is even higher, seven and a half stones, and in the Jiangnan and Jingchu areas, the average yield per mu is eight stones. ”

"Our county is a poor county, from the previous statistics of the data, every household has iron farming tools, every year there are people from Sinong Temple to the countryside to explain the new farming methods and new cultivation methods, there are also many innovations in the countryside, the ownership of cattle has reached two-thirds, that is, now a labor force produces about three times as much food as before."

"What is the extra labor going to do?" Zhao Mingming said: "Handicrafts and commerce, only in our county, there are as many as 36 workshops established in the past three years, which is the sum of the 25 years before the founding of the People's Republic of China. ”

"And our county is still a poor county, in the fortress with more developed transportation, in the broader plains, in the place where there are a lot of mineral and other resources, the number of workshops established is only a little more, and their economy is faster and more developed." Zhao Mingming looked at Fan Lianyin and Zu Dao with blazing eyes and said: "And these are all money!" ”

Fan Lianyin and Zu Daozhong's eyes also became brighter and brighter, "The imperial court wants to collect taxes from these places?" ”

"Yes, these workshops and caravans will be more profitable, and the craftsmen and merchants will be richer, and they will naturally have to pay taxes to the state with the resources of the country and the population of the country, so in the future, the state will have to collect more from these people."

"When the state and local yamen have money, they can spend money to hire people to build bridges, build roads, dredge rivers, and repair water conservancy projects."

Zu Dao's heart trembled, he already had a guess, and asked in a trembling voice, "So?" ”

"Therefore, the imperial court wants to cancel the regular service!" Zhao Mingming's eyes were blazing and said: "Like a miscellaneous servant, completely cancel!" ”

Zu Daozhong and Fan Lianyin opened their mouths wide and asked, "Now?" ”

"Of course not now," Zhao Mingming looked at them and said seriously: "But after I take office, because the country's tax focus has not yet moved, so the regular service still has to exist." ”

"My mother's generation will work harder than us, and our generation won't have it easy, but it doesn't matter, if we suffer more now, future generations will be able to enjoy more happiness."

Fan Lianyin pondered, "So we have to find a way to make money for the people from places other than the land, and it has to be a lot of money." ”

Zu Daozhong was a little worried, "In this way, won't it delay Nongsang?" ”

Farming is a very hard thing, Zu Daozhong is willing to call it the hardest work in the world, he has participated in the spring and autumn busy, he really feels that it is much harder than his martial arts and sword training, and it is harder than him to go to the battlefield.

He is willing to take risks on the battlefield and fight rather than farm.

If you don't rely on land, you can earn a higher income from commerce and handicrafts than from farming, how many people in the world are willing to farm?

He felt that he had to make two preparations, "If the people of the world are unwilling to farm, how can the imperial court ensure food security?" ”

Zhao Mingming frowned, obviously not thinking about this.

Fan Lianyin said: "You think too much, right? If one day, everyone in the world can earn more money in handicrafts and commerce than on land, then the state will no longer need to tax the land at all, and only the tax on handicrafts and commerce will be enough for the expenses of the imperial court, and then the land rent and field tax will be exempted, and I don't believe that no one will farm the land. ”

Zu Daozhong: "You are too whimsical, how can you be exempted from land rent and field tax?" ”

Now the emperor and the empress dowager said that they would spread the human tax into the fields, and he felt that it was a fantasy to not leave the project of the ding tax.

Zu Daozhong: "The new tax reform is only the idea of His Majesty and the imperial princess, and you are already thinking about canceling the land rent and land tax." ”

"I'm just imagining it according to your assumptions, and besides, in front of Your Majesty, what is impossible in the world?" Fan Lianyin said: "Before Your Majesty appeared, could you think that the miscellaneous servants of the people could be exempted? Can you think that all children in the world can go to school, but they must go to school? Can you imagine that military service is no longer something that everyone avoids, but something that everyone wants to do? ”

Zu Daozhong has nothing to say.

He is a few years older than Fan Lianyin and Zhao Mingming, when he was born, the new dynasty had not yet been established, although he had no memory at that time, but when he was young, his father lamented the past with him.

Moreover, life as a child was far less convenient and affluent than it is now, and even if his father was an ancestor, there were some things that he didn't have.

He is a very sensitive person, otherwise his father would not have sent him to the palace to accompany the imperial concubine, let alone stand out among the many companions and become one of Zhao Mingming's best friends.

Thinking of this, Zu Dao glanced at the person who had no brains to revere Zhao Mingming, and snorted quietly in his heart, but his brain couldn't help but think about her words.

Judging from the history books, it is difficult for the new tax reform to succeed, let alone abolish the land rent tax;

From a practical point of view, 70 percent of the state's fiscal revenue now comes from the peasants, and before that, more than 90 percent of the state's fiscal revenue came from the common people's ding tax and field tax, as well as various taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Commerce and crafts were not as developed as they might have been, and taxes were more difficult to define.

It is very difficult for the income of handicrafts and commerce to exceed that of agriculture, and it is even more impossible to collect taxes from handicrafts and commerce to offset the current 70 percent of the tax and land rent, as well as various taxes and donations.

But......

If it was His Majesty, Zu Dao's heart was hot, "Maybe it's possible." ”

Although the voice was small, Fan Lianyin heard it, and she raised her head proudly, "What's the matter, you can't deny Your Majesty's great talent, right?" ”

Zu Daozhong: "But this is by no means something that Your Majesty can do alone. ”

Zhao Mingming: "So there is still me, and you guys." ”

She said with blazing eyes: "A-Niang said, this is not something that can be completed by one generation, it requires the efforts of two generations, three generations, or even more people." ”

Therefore, she not only has to do a good job herself, but she also has to cultivate her children and grandchildren and choose a suitable heir to inherit her and A-Niang's policies.

Zhao Mingming's ambition has already burned, "We will study and improve Your Majesty's policies from now on, and when I ascend the throne, I will start to implement the new policy, and then you will be the right and left hands alone!" ”

Zu Daozhong was startled, subconsciously looked left and right, and whispered: "The princess is cautious, I don't know if there is a secret investigation around here......"

Fan Lianyin's eyes were already shining, and he nodded one step ahead of him and expressed his loyalty, "The minister swears allegiance to the princess!" ”

Zu Daozhong: ......

Zhao Mingming didn't take Zu Daozhong's reminder to heart, her mother told her how to be an emperor since she was a child, she is the next emperor, so their mother and daughter never shy away from this matter.
