"Your Highness, let's talk about the two tax laws first." Guo Ying coughed lightly and diverted the topic.

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, what can he do, he can only follow the emperor's wishes.

Li Yu snorted, but did not mention Huo Xiaoyu's matter again, but followed Guo Ying's words and said: "There are only you and me in this car, you can talk freely." ”

"Yes." Guo Ying nodded yes, and then narrated the manuscript he had in mind.

The minister thought that the two tax laws had advantages and disadvantages, but now that the land equalization system has been broken, it is imperative to replace the rent regulation with the two tax laws, so that the tax system has changed from "land tax people" to "tax people", which can be called a holy move. ”

This is not flattery, from "tax collectors" to "tax people", this is not from one to two, but from zero to one.

Although Prime Minister Yang Yan is not famous, to be honest, when it comes to talent, he is really a talent in the world, and Guo Ying admires it tightly in his heart.

It's just that I heard that this person's personality is a bit like Fazheng......

Of course, no system can be perfect, and Guo Ying has also seen some drawbacks.

Then he said: "It's just that the implementation of the two tax laws is certainly more beneficial than disadvantageous, but if its disadvantages are not gone, I am afraid that over time, I am afraid that the disadvantages will outweigh the advantages." ”

Guo Ying's words can be regarded as heartfelt words.

It stands to reason that he really doesn't need to work hard for the rise and fall of Li Tang Sheji, but Li Yu has always been friendly with him, and he also has the intention of taking this opportunity to go further to the center of power, so he has to think a little hard.

"Please advise." Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Taxes are not determined by local products, grains and silk fabrics are not collected, and the people are not allowed to mint coins privately, so that the people must take the grains, silk fabrics, and local products produced at home into the city to exchange for coins, which will inevitably cause a chaos of heavy money and light goods, one in and one out, one increase and one decrease, and the losses of the people are incalculable." Guo Ying paused and continued.

"Moreover, under the two tax systems, land is legally bought and sold, and the trend of land annexation is bound to become more prevalent."

Li Yu nodded thoughtfully, and said slowly: "The reform of the tax law will inevitably cause resistance and backlash from the family and the powerful family, and at that time, Hachiro needs to stand up and solve problems for His Majesty." ”

"What can I do?" Guo Ying frowned and asked.

"There are more than 100 nobles of the national dynasty, and there are several generations of people who have not fallen since the (western) Wei, (northern) Zhou, and Sui, and most of these nobles are arrogant and arrogant, and they also have farmland.

And the princes and ministers, the rich and wealthy officials, compared to the Zhuang Tian, arbitrarily annexed, not afraid of the charter, the Jingshi Jiadi Chiyuan, the good land and the beautiful products, the Zhongguan occupies the sixth, the rich have tens of thousands of acres of land, and the poor have no place to live.

As for today, there is a gap between Han Cheng and mourning.

This palace and His Majesty are deeply worried! At the end, he sighed heavily.

Guo Ying also sighed.

Indeed, at this time the Tang Dynasty's land annexation had reached appalling levels.

Don't talk about others, just talk about the Guo family, isn't it also tireless to merge the poor people's fields through buying and selling, borrowing famine, and grazing?

As far as Guo Ying knows, in addition to the grange given to Guo Ziyi by the emperor in the suburbs of Beijing, the Guo family also has more than 100 miles of land in the middle of the Huangfengling Tear River Pass.

This is not a small amount, and it is second to none among the nobles.

Guo Ying didn't know if Guo Ziyi's move was to dispel the emperor's suspicion and protect the family, or whether it was purely to prevent himself from showing off in the forest, and colluding with others.

In short, Guo Ziyi is certainly not a moral model.

At this point, the atmosphere was a little awkward, and Guo Ying really didn't know what to say for a while about what the Guo family did.

Even if he has the heart to return the land to the landless poor, he still has more than enough heart and not enough strength, don't say that Guo Ziyi is still alive now, but his old man has passed away, and his eldest brother Guo Yao is in front of him!

Where is his turn to take over the affairs of the Guo family.

After a long while, Guo Yingfang came back to his senses from his contemplation and said: "What His Royal Highness said is extremely true, since the founding of this dynasty, the wind of land annexation has not stopped.

When Gaozong and the Holy Empress of Tianshun ruled over all directions, the wind of land annexation became more prevalent.

As for the season of the opening of the Yuan Dynasty, since Tianbao, the laws and regulations have been relaxed, and the disadvantages of mergers are better than before.

Now the fields in the suburbs of the two capitals belong to the princes and hundreds of officials, where there is a place for the poor to stand.

It's just that land annexation has existed in all dynasties, and how easy is it to suppress or even eliminate it?

Han Wu used "fake public land", Han Ai used "limited people's famous fields, in order to be insufficient", Wang Mang "rebuilt well fields", Sui "sent envoys out of all directions, all to the fields of the world", this dynasty issued many edicts restricting annexation, but the wind of land annexation has intensified, and it is very noisy.

Therefore, the minister believes that in order to curb this trend, it is not enough to implement the two tax laws alone, and in addition, it is necessary to ......"

Speaking of this, Guo Ying paused for a moment, glanced at Li Yu on his side out of the corner of his eye, and saw the other party smiling and nodding, before he continued: "Use the heavy code to kill people's heads." ”

Li Yu smiled and said nothing, if the imperial court really had the prestige to kill whoever it wanted, how could there be such a predicament now?

It's just that Guo Ying's words also aroused his curiosity, and he also wanted to know who Guo Ying was going to use to kill chickens and monkeys to set an example?

Guo Ying noticed Li Chen's gaze, but he pretended to be stupid, raised his eyes to look at Li Xu, and asked tentatively: "What does Your Highness think?" ”

"Where is the pawn, Haoqiang, the family, or the feudal town?" Li Yu asked with interest.

These three are not simple.

strong and arbitrary country songs, with deep roots; The family is a succession of ministers, and they are inextricably linked with each other; As for the feudal towns, it is even more difficult, they have heavy troops in their hands, and they control the military and political power of the Tang Prefecture, even the emperor, they dare not touch their beards.

"Neither!" Guo Ying shook his head and replied solemnly.

"That's ......"

"There is a place, the palace has been made, the poor and extravagant are extremely strong, the painting is exhausted, the jewels are decorated, the ring material is exhausted in the wheel, the ointment is beautiful, and the number is not small, there are hundreds of thousands, which can be begged." Guo Ying said categorically.

When Li Yu heard this, his face changed sharply, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

He squinted his eyes and muttered for a long time before he slowly spit out the words, "You mean...... Buddhist temple. ”

"Exactly!" Guo Ying's head responded: "The ancients said that if they don't plow, they may be hungry; A woman does not weave, or suffers from the cold.

Today, the monks do not plough and eat, do not weave and clothe, widely make alarmist words, in order to confuse the foolish, a monk's food and clothing, about 30,000 years old, five ding, can not cause this.

As for today, there are 20,000 or 30,000 Buddhist temples in the world, and tens of millions of hectares of land have been occupied by the state.

The imperial court can also get tens of thousands of taels of tax households, tens of millions of hectares of land, and can also take the bronze statue of the Buddha, smelt it into coins, and reward the three armies.

In the future, the use of troops will reduce the burden on the treasury a lot. ”

Although the people took refuge in the monasteries due to social turmoil, mediocre government affairs, unclear governance, and heavy taxes, Guo Ying has never had a good impression of Buddhism.

Li Yu didn't rush to answer, he just sat on the carriage and fell into silence.

Although Guo Ying's statement is tempting, the reality is extremely cruel.

In the middle of the year, Jiannan Dongchuan observed Li Shuming to say, "Buddhism and Taoism are not beneficial to the time, please be rough and clear", Li Shi moved, but the princes and ministers of the court and the central government all spoke to obstruct it on the grounds that "the two religions have been practiced for a long time, and the saints should worship them, and it is not appropriate to disturb them", and finally the matter could only be stopped.

Li Yu is not a stupid person, and he can guess that the reason for the obstruction of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government is nothing more than the transfer of interests between those silverfish and the Buddhist monks of the Buddhist temple, after all, Buddhism is not a pure place, and there are many commercial businesses.

The method proposed by Guo Ying is certainly feasible, but there is a huge resistance in it, and if there is a slight difference, I am afraid that the entire court will be shaken.

Therefore, after being silent for a while, Li Yu coughed lightly and said, "This matter still needs to be carefully considered, you must not say this outside, so as not to cause trouble." ”

"Yes," Guo Ying said.
