Population is important to the country in any era, and after learning that some people chose to drown their babies because of the Dingkou tax, Wang Lin immediately decided to abolish the Dingkou tax.

Tax reform is very difficult because it touches the interests of the bottom managers, but if the system is not reformed, the problem will become more and more serious.

At all times, the country's taxes were crucial, and now Wang Lin was in the prime of life, with great prestige and ability, and could subdue the nobles of the kingdom. If he does not reform because of difficulties, it will be even more difficult when his son or grandson arrives.

More importantly, he doesn't know if his sons and grandchildren will be more courageous and more prestigious than him to promote tax reform. So he doesn't plan to leave it to future generations.

After hearing that the Ram Liberation had changed all taxes to grain and cloth, another minister next to him immediately stepped forward to object.

"Your Majesty, the restructuring of the Ram Shangqing is indeed very good, but there is a very important shortcoming in this, and the minister suggests that it be postponed."

"Yu Qing thinks there is a problem, you can say it bluntly!" Wang Lin said.

"Your Majesty, the Ram Shangqing said that the taxes are complicated, and it is difficult to collect all kinds of physical storage and transportation. This is a difficult problem, but it is also a last resort.

Collecting all the grain and cloth does reduce the difficulty of collecting taxes and is convenient for the people, but the collection of goods in kind is because of the needs of the state, and the country has a demand for goods such as sokgrass, salt, and horses, so it chooses to collect taxes and let the people pay. Therefore, the minister suggested that the tax reform should be postponed. ”

After Yu Qing finished speaking, he bowed to Wang Lin and retreated, and then the old god knelt beside him, and there was silence in the hall.

Wang Lin glanced at Yu Qing deeply, this Yu Qing is not simple, just a few words, and the tax reform will be abolished from the national strategic level.

What Yu Qing just said is very correct, the state collects Sokcho, salt, cattle and horses, and big wood These physical objects play an important role, although Sokcho looks inconspicuous, but it is indispensable, Sokcho can be used as cattle and horse food, and other places also need it, Damu is needed by the state to build palaces or ships, chariots, needless to say, cattle and horses, which are necessary for war, horns, and animal tendons are used to make bows and arrows.

All of these things are basically strategic storage, and they need to be stored in large quantities every year, and if you don't collect them, once the war breaks out, you won't have time to collect them.

These people wanted to use this method to block Wang Lin's reform of taxation, but unfortunately they miscalculated. Wang Lin knew that the Ram Xie had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Ram Qing, do you have a solution to the problem mentioned by Yu Qing?" Wang Lin asked.

The ram untied his body and tidied up his clothes, then came to the main hall, first saluted Wang Lin, and then said: "Your Majesty, Yu Qing's problem, the minister has already taken into account, and the collection of materials such as sokwoon, big wood, horn, and cow tendon is indispensable for the purpose of preparing for war. ”

"If it is indispensable, why does the Ram Qing want to abolish these taxes in kind?" Another nobleman next to him couldn't help but ask.

"Zhang Qing, don't talk nonsense!" Wei Ping snorted coldly.

Zhang Qing reacted immediately, and hurriedly accused Wang Lin: "The ministers are worried about the national policy, and the king is rude, I hope the king will forgive the sin!" ”

Wang Lin waved his hand and said: "Forget it, after deducting thirty of the food estate, there will be another time to win the title!" Hearing this, the minister immediately sweated like rain.

Wang Lin told them very clearly, he knows your careful thoughts, and this time it is just a warning.

"Your Majesty, the collection of these taxes in kind is for war reserves, and your subordinates think it is better to buy them directly." The ram explained.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this law must not be done!" Yu Qing stood up again and said.

"Why does Yu Qing think it can't?" Wang Lin asked.

"If the state buys these materials with money, the price will be high, which will be bad for the finances, and it will be a waste of financial resources, so it is not acceptable." Yu Qing said.

"I'm afraid it may not be!" Ram Xie said with a smile.

"What is the opinion of the Ram Shangqing?" Yu Qing looked at him angrily and said.

"It is true that the state buys these things from the people at a high cost, but it is not a waste, the people are poor, and there is not much food in their hands, if the state buys them and allows the people to get benefits, what will these people do if they have money in their hands?

In the past, the people were poor, and many goods were necessities of life, even if they wanted to buy them, they had no money, but if they had money in their hands, the people naturally wanted to buy them, which was human nature.

And when the people buy goods, the merchants naturally want to sell, the merchants sell goods from all over the country, and the workshops in various places need to make them, and the more goods they sell, the more money the workshops make, and at the same time the merchants make more money, so the taxes they pay will naturally increase.

The state seems to spend a lot of extra money on the purchase of sokwok, wood, animal tendons, horns, and other items from the people, but in fact it is supplemented by other taxes. In this way, the people can get benefits, commerce prospers, workshops prosper, and the country naturally benefits. ”

"In this way, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

Ram's explanation was straightforward, but its content was shocking to everyone, and it was the first time these ministers had heard such an analysis.

Yu Qing only felt that her brain was in a mess, and she had the intention to stop it, but she didn't know where to start.

"It's... There are only so many of the wealth and goods that are born in this heaven and earth, and if they are not among the people, they are in the officials! If the people take one point, the country will have one point less, how can it be so? Another minister said.

This fallacy also says that the growth of wealth lies in production, and is it a certainty that the people will open up the wasteland, cultivate the land over the years, mine gold and iron, and develop salt pans? I have been a country for a hundred years, and the wealth of a hundred years ago is the same as today? The ram rebuked sharply.

Several of the ministers who argued with him turned pale, and Nono did not dare to speak.

"Color!" Wang Lin said happily and loudly.

He had read the Ram Jie's book before, and he also understood the operation in it, if it could really be implemented, Huaiguo's national strength would definitely be greatly improved.

Similarly, he knows too much about whether the world's wealth is limited or growing, and it is clearly recorded in the collection of books in the office that the world's wealth is growing. And with his ingenuity, he didn't know what the minister didn't finish just now.

The wealth was not only the government and the people, but also the nobles. Do they not know that the wealth of the world is growing? Surely they just want to get more.

Wang Lin snorted coldly and didn't bother with them anymore.

Reform the tax law, and at the same time do so, there is another advantage, that is, the life of the Chinese people is much better, and it is also good for him.

......

The ram reform has a far-reaching impact in history, through the reform, the military, economic, political and other aspects have been rectified, especially to promote the development of commodity economy, enrich the government finance, improve the military strength, strengthen the centralization, so that the Huai country quickly rich and strong. ——General History of the World, History of China, Western Zhou Dynasty
