Chapter 120: Someone Connected

Under the canopy, more people began to put down their work and listen carefully to the canopy's explanation.

Not to mention the emperors and generals, even the knowledgeable people in the people have heard something from it.

Worry-free continued: "In fact, it was not Zhang Juzheng who proposed a whip method, but Cao Gui in the Jiajing period, but it was not until the ninth year of Wanli that Zhang Juzheng popularized it, what is the content of a whip method?" In this way, the tax system has been simplified to a great extent, and it is also convenient to collect taxes, and it has increased the difficulty of cheating by local officials, and has increased the financial revenue of the central government. ”

"Maybe everyone still doesn't know what the benefits of this whip law are, then let's talk about it carefully, first of all, the land was re-measured, at that time the land annexation was serious, there were a lot of concealments, taxes were also chaotic, many people who did not have land also had to pay a lot of taxes and silver, which made the people unable to live, so that the people revolted and unrest every year, in response to this situation, it was necessary to re-measure the land across the country, This measurement has enabled an additional 280 million mu of land across the country, uncovered a lot of land that the landlords had concealed, and greatly increased the state's tax revenue. ”

"You must know that the statistics of land in Hongwu 24 years, the data nationwide is 390 million mu, and this part of the land that was only pulled out during the Wanli period is equivalent to seven-tenths of the number of land in the Hongwu years.

"In the previous tax law, the service was separated, the service was the field tax, the service was the servitude, and there were all kinds of additional assignments and levies, which made the people miserable, and after the implementation of a whip law, the servitude was combined together, and the tax was levied according to the mu, and the forced labor was changed to employment, which made it difficult for the local officials to set up a name, and all kinds of additional assignments, and the burden on the people was also much lighter."

"Before the implementation of the new law, taxes are collected in kind, after the implementation of the new law, except for a few places in Suzhou and Hangzhou that need to be handed over in kind for the royal family to eat, other places are converted into silver, and the tax collection is no longer handled by the chief and the grain chief, but is collected by the local government, and the unified payment is put into the warehouse, and the cost of saving the escort is saved by the grain chief, and it is not collected by the chief of the grain, and it also saves the erosion of intermediate links, which is beneficial to the people and the country."

"Just this change from the people to the people to the official and the official solution will be of great benefit to the people."

"Let's put it this way, Tian Fu is collected by the lieutenant and has to be escorted to the designated place to hand it over, along the way, it costs a lot, so who bears this part of the cost? If you calculate the detailed accounts, if the road is long, the part consumed along the way may be more than the tax itself, and the governor himself can't bear it at all, so let's score and send it out, that is, many people are equal to paying twice as much tax as they should have paid. ”

"This does not stop, when you get to the place, you have to be made difficult by the officials who are levied, and if you don't give benefits, there will be all kinds of things to make it difficult for you, that is, if you don't collect your food, then you will have to stay for a long time, how to calculate the cost in between?"

"If it is changed to an official settlement, there will be no worries about this, which is equivalent to reducing a lot of burden on the people."

"It's a pity that such a tax law was abolished after Zhang Juzheng's death......

Worry-free said that he couldn't help but sigh again.

She really felt that it was very difficult for the people in ancient times to survive, not to mention living well, just surviving was a difficult thing.

Now many little girls fantasize about traveling to ancient times, earlier they wanted to meet princes and generals, and then they fantasized about going to ancient times to farm and do business.

Not to mention the poor people in ancient times, even those who were officials, when it comes to the convenience and comfort of life, they are far from modern times.

Wu Wu thought, if she really wants to go to ancient times, she will have to die in a few days.

Throughout the dynasties, emperors and officials were silent.

The tax law is good, but how to enforce it is a problem?

If you want to carry it out, you have to have great perseverance and courage, and you have to offend many people, but you are afraid that you will not die well, that is, after death, you are afraid that your reputation will be tired.

But the common people understood.

Many people burst into tears when they heard this: "This Zhang Ju is a good official, a good official......"

"Our family is just because of all kinds of miscellaneous taxes, and there is nothing left."

"When my father was the mayor, he escorted the autumn tax to pay ...... This trip not only took all the money from the family, but also owed a lot of money, so I had no choice but to sell the land. ”

"If only we could practice this whip here."

"Yes, I don't know if Your Majesty will ......"

"The fairy said that this is a good tax law, and His Majesty and the ministers of the court and the central government may implement it, right?"

The people were really not sure.

After all, those people are high, how can they really sympathize with the people?

"The tax law has been changing, the Song Dynasty and the scholars share the world, not only can not punish the scholars, but the tax has nothing to do with the scholars, which makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.

"There is another change in the future, and that time is also very strong, including the apportionment into the mu, the gentry pay the grain and the fire consumption is returned to the public, but unfortunately, the method is good, the successor does not implement it, and there is no way to abolish it."

"However, no matter how the law is changed, except for the Song Dynasty, the agricultural tax has been the main source of finance for the country in all dynasties, until more than 400 years after Zhang Juzheng changed the law, the agricultural tax was completely abolished in later generations, and since then, farmers no longer have to pay taxes for farming."

Wu Wu smiled when he said this: "Zhang Juzheng changed the law, let's talk about this first, and then talk about Emperor Wanli, well, everyone wait a minute, I have to eat something more." ”

In front of so many people, she calmly opened another package of jerky, took out a piece and took a bite.

And her last sentence is tantamount to dropping a bomb, and all the dynasties that explode are about to bloom.

"What?"

"Exemption from agricultural taxes?"

"Then what does the state rely on to pay officials? What is the basis for disaster relief? ”

And the people cried and cried, and thumped the ground.

"How can the future be so good? I want to go to the afterlife......"

They know how much the yield per mu is in the later generations, and all those who have paid attention to worry-free in the early days know that the grain yield in the later generations is extremely high, and the yield per mu is basically 1,000 catties higher.

If there are more than 1,000 catties of grain per acre of land, and no taxes are collected, how rich will the people of future generations be? Their families are afraid that they will not be able to eat all the food they produce every year......

"That's white rice, white flour steamed buns, you can eat whatever you want every day, right?"

There are many people who are thinking, and the more they think about it, the more sad they feel in their hearts.

Originally, I thought it was okay to chew the bran cake, at least it could coax my stomach, but now, I don't eat anything fragrant.

Wu Wu ate two pieces of jerky before he was going to continue, but Xiao Wan suddenly woke up at this time.

As soon as he woke up, he saw the emperor chat group established through the subsystem, and Xiao Wan was frightened at this look.

"Bad things, bad things."

But if you look closely, it doesn't seem to be bad, and it doesn't interfere with him in any way.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Xiao Wan did not cancel this chat group in the spirit of having more things than less things.

Then he checked the energy he had received in the past few days and found that the energy he had obtained had not increased much recently.

In other words, the energy has tended to be stable recently, which shows that the changes in the past dynasties are not very large.

Xiao Wan wanted to talk to Wuwu about whether to stimulate those ancients again, but he was disturbed before he could call Wuwu.

Xiao Wan almost screamed.

This is......

It seems that another different time and space has been captured, but this different time and space is only vague, and the coordinates are not very clear, so I am afraid that more energy will be needed to be able to capture it completely.

However, capturing a different time and space stimulated Xiao Wan, and he found that there was one more ability to reward.

"Host, host."

Xiao Wan was excited: "Hurry, hurry, someone is connected to give you a reward for your ability." ”
