Under the moonlit night, the eldest grandson Wuji's face showed confusion.

"Isn't that what you say, the same is true of the law of family production?"

"No! The fixed tax burden I mentioned earlier needs to be measured on each piece of land!"

"For example, if people lease paddy fields, they need to pay taxes on paddy fields. The drylands are the taxes of the drylands."

"When the land is barren and fertile, the taxes paid should be different!"

"Otherwise, all the people of the world will go and plant paddy fields, and won't those dry lands be idle?"

It is well known that paddy fields have the highest yield efficiency and economic value.

Therefore, under the domination of the rent and the uniform field system, the paddy field is undoubtedly the most sought-after field.

Li Shimin nodded: "Brother Qin is right! Indeed, this paddy field cannot be rented in the same way as dry land."

However, the eldest grandson Wuji shook his head: "You have a loophole in this method!"

Qin Fan looked sideways: "What kind of void?"

"If a common man leases a piece of dry land and then converts it into paddy fields, will he not pay the rent of the dry land and reap the harvest of the paddy fields? The court is not at a loss!"

Qin Fan was speechless: "Where did this imperial court suffer? Dry land is dry land, don't the people need to contribute money and effort to transform it?"

"Besides, the land is not owned by the people, they are just leaseholders! What the court leased out was dry land, and what was reclaimed was paddy fields, do you think the court has lost money?"

The eldest grandson Wuji was dumbfounded, it was indeed he who took it for granted!

Li Shimin's heart that has been hanging can finally be put down.

According to Qin Fan's words, with the household contract responsibility system, every household owned land and became a capitalist.

You don't have to worry about not having enough to eat.

But Qin Fan's next sentence made his heart tighten.

"When the population grows to a certain number in 100 years, don't worry too much."

Oh, yes! How did I forget!

If the population increases dramatically, there will inevitably be people who will not have enough land to cultivate! What should I do when the time comes?

Fortunately, Qin Fan also immediately proposed a solution: "As long as the development of productive forces is always one step faster than the growth of population, the people will not go hungry!"

"Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and quyuan ploughs are all progress and development in this area!"

"Those who have surplus food at home can sell their grain to the people who have no land to grow, and the rest of the people can earn money to buy grain through other hundred ways!"

"Because the land is in the hands of the vast majority of the people, even if they are grain merchants, they cannot completely control the price of grain in the entire Tang Dynasty, no matter what, the people can eat a mouthful of food."

"And if the current situation is present, the grain merchants can unite with those big capitalists to loot the oil and water in the people's belly by controlling the price of grain!"

Li Shimin was relieved, picked up the wine glass, and drank it in a big gulp.

However, Qin Fan's words were not finished.

"When all walks of life develop to a certain stage in the future, the agricultural tax can be abolished and the people can be completely liberated!"

"Poof!" "Ahem!".

Li Shimin's eyes widened, and all the wine in his mouth spurted out, and he even choked because he was so shocked.

On the other side, the eldest grandson Wuji wiped the wine on his face with his sleeve, then stood up, slapped the table with one palm, and reprimanded angrily:

"Are you going to dig the roots of the Tang Dynasty?"

It's no wonder that the two of them look so good.

After all, in their opinion, agriculture is the foundation of the world!

Li Shimin also said coldly: "If the agricultural tax is abolished, where will the income of the imperial court come from? Where does your money come from?"

Qin Fan said indifferently: "Agriculture is not taxed, but other industries can be taxed!"

"For example, the commercial tax of my Wannian County is deducted from the original harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the rest is enough to build bridges and roads and build private schools, which is not much more than agricultural taxes?"

"And I said

In the future, the time is ripe and all industries will prosper and develop! It's not time to abolish the agricultural tax yet!"

Li Er breathed a sigh of relief, but he still did not agree with the abolition of the agricultural tax.

"Brother Qin, although your other ideas are quite insightful. But when it comes to abolishing the agricultural tax, I still think you're biased."

Qin Fan showed a deferential expression: "I want to hear it in detail."

"Lao Sun's words, although extreme, are not unreasonable. Agriculture is the root of all industries."

"If you abandon agriculture and collect taxes from other industries, isn't that a sacrifice of the basics?"

"Business, for example, can't create wealth for Datang at all! But agriculture can."

"As for handicrafts, they are nothing more than vassals of agriculture!"

Qin Fan is not surprised, this is the ideological concept of the vast majority of people in this era.

Of course, this is also closely related to the degree of development of productivity and technology.

If Li Er could see the modern scenes of high-rise buildings and rolling factory chimneys, he wouldn't say so!

Of course, Qin Fan also understood that he would never believe it if he told them with such empty words and white teeth!

If Li Er is told to them: the output value of industry will exceed that of agriculture by several times.

The other party will undoubtedly look at Qin Fan with a foolish look: You don't have a fever, why don't you let Sun Simiao take a look at it for you?

"In the future, you will understand. The agricultural tax is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket compared to business."

With that, Qin Fan turned around and walked towards his room.

"Today's talk is over, let's talk another day."

Li Er also knew that changing Qin Fan's paranoid thoughts was not something that could be done overnight.

However, tonight I got the artifact of Quyuan plow, and I have the new system of the household contract responsibility system, which is not worth the trip!

"Brother Qin, the blueprint of this Qu Yuan plough ......"

"If you can get iron, take it."

"If you can't do it, you can also present this drawing to the imperial court, but don't reveal my identity!"

After getting the drawings, Li Er was satisfied and said goodbye.

Suzaku Street.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to adopt the system that the kid said?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked.

He also knew that this system was undoubtedly an improvement compared to the Juntian system and the rent-yong system used in the Tang Dynasty today.

The problem is that if this law is to be implemented, there will inevitably be a lot of resistance.

Not to mention anything else, the five surnames and seven hopes will definitely not agree easily!

Not to mention the five surnames and seven hopes, even if it is proposed in the court, it will be opposed by the ministers.

Because Qin Fan's method undoubtedly diluted the interests of the wealthy.

And the officials who were able to attend the early court, which family did not have thousands of acres of fertile land?

Li Shimin also knows that this method must be full of resistance.

However, I remembered the countless "can'ts" that Qin Fan said tonight, and the kind of scene he described that people were struggling to survive.

His mood could not be calm.

Li Er pondered for a long time: "Use! It will be tried in Wannian County, and then promoted to the entire Datang!"

The eldest grandson Wuji was also overjoyed: "Wannian County must be easier to take care of that kid. When Wannian County develops, with this example, presumably this resistance will not be so great!"
