"So how to change the land system of the Ming Dynasty, and then control the proportion of the landlord class, and stabilize the tax base of the Ming Dynasty?"

Li Jinglong's soul question blurted out, and he has obviously entered the role.

Jiang Xinghuo smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Just now you said that the land system of the Ming Dynasty is a two-field system in which official fields and private fields are parallel, so what about the tax and conscription system of the Ming Dynasty?" It must be known that the land system, the tax system, and the forced labor system are inseparable. ”

Li Jinglong paused for a moment, and then said confidently: "The tax system is naturally a two-tax system, which is paid in summer and autumn. Summer is only August, autumn is not February of the following year, basically summer wheat, autumn rice. ”

"In terms of tax rate, Emperor Taizu Gao stipulated: the tax per mu of official land is five liters and three he, the civil land is three liters and three he, the heavy lease field is eight liters and five teaspoons, and there is no official land one bucket and two liters...... Of course, there are differences in actual operation, for example, the land tax in the Jiangnan area is generally heavier, on the one hand, it is to suppress the power of the landlord class in the south of the Yangtze River, and on the other hand, the south of the Yangtze River is indeed rich and is the bulk of the tax. ”

"As for conscription, it is divided into two types: lijia and miscellaneous labor."

"Lijia is a unit of conscription undertaken by Lijia, and the method is 'one person in the annual service', that is, the chief of the lijia leads one of the ten households to serve for a period of one year, and the main responsibilities are to manage the property of the people in the township, assist the yamen in maintaining local law and order, and go to the yamen at all levels to listen to the dispatch."

"Miscellaneous service, according to the service object can be divided into Beijing service, government service, county service, royal service, according to the nature of the service can be divided into the official service, tax and grain service, warehouse service, post service, prison service, civil engineering service, and so on."

Jiang Xinghuo waited quietly for him to finish, and after he finished speaking, Jiang Xinghuo asked another question.

"The formulation of public management policies is by no means a decision made by the head, and we might as well think about it from a different perspective now."

"Then what do you think if you are an ordinary yeoman farmer, what problems are you unwilling to face in completing the tax payment to the imperial court every year?"

Several people inside and outside the walls fell into thought.

And Zhu Gaochi in the secret room, his eyes were full of brilliance.

"Think about it from a different perspective...... Jiang Xinghuo's method is really an interesting suggestion, father, what do you think you are unwilling to face if you are a yeoman farmer and pay taxes to the imperial court? ”

"Naturally, it is forced labor, and the tax is not too high."

Zhu Di's answer was crisp and neat, Zhu Di has traveled south and north for most of his life, he is not ignorant of the people's suffering, nor is he unaware that the low-level officials use the power in their hands to unlimitedly drive yeoman farmers to serve as forced servants to torture people, so as to obtain benefits.

But there is no way, it has been the case since ancient times, it is impossible for the imperial court to hire a large number of formal personnel for the county-level yamen, and the imperial court does not have this money at all.

Also, many things are not needed all year round, and only need human hands to do at certain times.

For example, in the summer and autumn seasons of the tax and grain needs to be relieved of households, households, patrols, and clerks, this is only routinely needed during the summer and autumn tax collection, and it is impossible to support so many people in ordinary times.

For example, the people and firewood men needed in winter, the sluicemen, dam men, and shallow men needed when the rivers thaw in the spring, and a small number of manpower needed in specific seasons, and sometimes even not needed in specific seasons, such as in winter when there is plenty of warm firewood, or in spring when there is too little snowmelt, and the embankment does not need additional manpower to guard.

Based on all of the above, white prostitution and self-farming is actually the best solution for the current imperial court's policy.

Zhu Gaochi added: "In addition to forced labor, there is also the grain paid as a tax, there are too many doorways in this, big buckets in and small buckets out, big scales in and small scales out, are the most basic...... In addition, there were such dirty methods as granary fires and substandard grain quality, which often caused the yeoman peasants to bear much more actual taxes than expected, and these differences were divided between the local corrupt officials and landlords. ”

Zhu Gao looked at Zhu Di's face and added: "The imperial court can't control it at all, and it can't be solved by killing people." ”

And as Zhu Gaochi in the secret room came to a conclusion, Li Jinglong outside the wall also came to an answer that was almost the same.

Li Jinglong replied: "The first thing is conscription, which is a torturous man, and it is easy to delay agricultural work; The second is that the paid grain is also easy to be manipulated, and the yeoman farmers are incapable of avenging their grievances, so they can only knock out their teeth and swallow blood; Finally, there are cattle and seeds, which cannot be purchased at home, and when they are not green or unlucky, they have to borrow from the landlord. ”

"You're right."

Jiang Xinghuo affirmed, and immediately said: "There is a principle in the formulation of public management policies called 'anxious about what the people are anxious about, think about what the people think', and solve the land system of the Ming Dynasty, from the root point, lies in the three points you said. ”

"It was the three points of conscription, grain, cattle, and seeds that prevented yeoman farmers from paying taxes to the imperial court."

"It is precisely these three points that have become the main means of land annexation by the landlord class, if you think about it carefully, yes or no?"

Li Jinglong suddenly realized.

For a moment, he felt as if he had been enlightened, really enlightened.

Li Jinglong vigorously said: "Therefore, as long as we start from these three points, we can reasonably design a new land and tax system, and then curb the proportion of the landlord class, so as to achieve the purpose of stabilizing the tax base of the dynasty and extending the life of the dynasty." ”

Saying these words, Li Jinglong himself was stunned for a moment.

Li Jinglong seemed to understand how Zhu Gaoxu suddenly became smarter.

Jiang Xinghuo, who is really naturally suitable for teaching!

Before you know it, you're directing yourself to the right answer.

Moreover, it seems that he came up with it independently under his own guidance, not Jiang Xinghuo forced it into him.

In the Chamber of Secrets.

Zhu Gaochi slapped the armrest fiercely, and his chubby palm instantly turned the color of pork liver and became a little purple.

But Zhu Gaochi didn't feel it at all, it seemed that it was not enough to vent the excitement in his heart.

Zhu Gaochi slapped his other hand again, and the severe pain made him calm down a little from the excitement.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't sit still anymore, and Ji Gang quickly helped him up.

"Father, the sons originally thought that Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi were the top ministers in the world, and further up, they were saint-seeking existences like Master Daoyan...... But after listening to Mr. Jiang's words today, Fang felt that there were people outside the world, and there was a sky outside the sky, and it was Erchen who sat in the well and watched the sky before! Zhu Gaochi turned to Zhu Di and said very solemnly.

When Zhu Di heard this, he heard Zhu Gaochi change his name to Jiang Xinghuo, and asked with a smile.

"So, you believe it? I believe that I said before that Jiang Xinghuo will definitely have a better countermeasure? ”

"Believe!"

Zhu Gaochi bowed his head in shame and said: "Mr. Jiang has summarized the law that land determines taxation, proportion determines tax base, and tax base determines life span from the evolution of the land system in previous dynasties. Based on this law, according to the problems faced by the Ming yeoman farmers in paying taxes and land annexation, Li Jinglong was guided to summarize the three points of forced labor, grain, ploughing cattle and seeds. ”

"In the end, in view of the three points of forced labor, grain, and cattle seeds, the most reasonable solutions can naturally be proposed."

"And after such a clear deduction of logic, even a mediocre talent like Erchen can dare to conceive a few, let alone a peerless talent like Mr. Jiang?"

"Erchen is really looking forward to how Mr. Jiang will formulate a new land policy for the Ming Dynasty and alleviate the contradiction between the landlord class and the yeoman farmers for the three points of forced labor, grain, cattle and seeds!"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head to the ground and said in a loud voice.

"Congratulations to my father! If I can get Mr. Jiang's guidance, I will definitely extend the country! ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he also crossed his waist and laughed, laughing until he was happy, and then pointed to the wall and said.

"In that case, then wait for Mr. Jiang's magic strategy!"
