Chapter 122: Wang Tian's Proportion! Zhu Gaoxu: Lao Tzu is going to send troops to surround Shuntian! (5.6k to be ordered!) )
After tea.
"Scatter."
With Ji Boying's faint words, the holographic projection was turned off instantly.
Call~!
In the main hall of the Drunken Immortal Building, the princes of heaven on these seats all recovered their original expressions in an instant, but they all gritted their teeth, and their eyes showed extreme hatred.
In just half a cup of tea just now, they fully experienced how a low-level citizen was oppressed by a low-level official.
Only Lao Zhu looked calm, and there was a slight emotion between his eyebrows.
Fang Cai's first visual experience couldn't help but remind him of his childhood, when his parents were forced to be beaten by servants because they couldn't pay their taxes.
"I must kill these two officers!"
Old Zhu Di slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth, and shouted.
He had never felt anything like this in his life.
"Dad, it was an illusion just now, and I can't kill ......"
The Yongle big fat next to him reminded in a small voice.
Old Zhu Di's face was stunned, and then he took a deep breath.
Fang Cai's powerlessness, humiliation, unwillingness, anger, mixed emotions surged into his heart, this sense of experience was so real that he forgot where he was for a while, and almost thought that he was really that little people.
The other princes of heaven are also like this, all of them have ups and downs in their chests, and they obviously haven't eased up yet.
"You guys, got it?"
Ji Boying swept over these princes of heaven.
Just now, they substituted the situation of the servant with their first vision, and fully experienced all the feelings and emotions of the servant.
"Asan, tell me how you feel."
Ji Boying glanced at Xiao Zhu Si.
"I want to rebel!"
Xiao Zhu Si opened his mouth viciously, and in his eyes, he actually revealed hatred for the imperial court.
Ah Biao took a deep breath and stood up.
"Immortal Master, I understand."
"The service of the people is only finished when it is recognized by the government, and as long as the government does not approve it, the people have to serve all the time, endlessly, and even end up because of the exhaustion to death."
"And to get the government to approve the method of completing the conscription, I think it should be bribing money."
As soon as he said that, the other princes of heaven were silent, and they all detected the servant's mind just now.
Even the farmer's family, who can't even get the brown rice out of the pot, has the money to bribe the officials.
In this case, in addition to becoming an outcast, there is only one way to hang yourself, and it is better to live than to die.
"These dog-skin flies, we're going to pick them all up! Peel and fill the grass! ”
Lao Zhu's face was full of anger, and he slapped the armrest of the Taishi chair violently, and his eyes showed anger.
"How many people can you skin?"
Ji Boying looked at Lao Zhu.
When he said this, Lao Zhu was speechless for a while.
The oppression of the people by the people by the small officials of the people happens all the time.
Different from the corruption of the temple magnates, its coverage is the entire Ming Dynasty, and it is easy to kill the officials of the temple, but if you want to kill all the small officials of the entire Ming Dynasty, it is too difficult.
Tigers are easy to kill, but flies are hard to fight;
Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult.
This is true both in feudal dynasties and in later generations.
Ji Boying swept over the group of princes of heaven and spoke.
"It is precisely because the people cannot support themselves by farming their own fields, so it is better to dedicate the fields to the local gentry, and when the powerful gentry accepts the land from the peasant household, he needs the peasant to work for him and earn rent for him."
"And with the power of the gentry and magnates, the local officials naturally dare not be embarrassed, after all, delaying the farming of these tenants is tantamount to damaging the interests of these gentry."
"Or to be more precise, these petty officials were instructed by the gentry to oppress these peasants and force them to surrender their fields."
"In this way, the road of land annexation of the powerful gentry has become a closed loop."
"This is the core of slavery."
"It is not heavy taxes that the people have fled, but hard labor, which is fiercer than taxes."
Rumble...!
'Slavery is fiercer than taxes'!
These five words exploded in the hearts of all the princes of heaven.
There is one point that needs to be mentioned.
In many books popularizing the land annexation of the Ming Dynasty, it will be stated that the gentry in the middle and late periods were exempt from taxes, but this statement is wrong.
From the establishment of the Ming Dynasty to its demise, the imperial court has never promulgated a system of tax exemption for the gentry, and the gentry are exempt from only servitude, and there is only a certain amount of preferential exemption for taxes, and this preferential exemption amount increases with the generation of new monarchs.
For example, in the Jiajing Dynasty, the first grade of Jingguan was exempted from military service for 30 stone and 30 ding, and the following decreased, to 6 stone for 9 excellent exempt grain and 6 ding for people; halving of foreign officials; lifting, prison, and student preferential and free food two stones, two people; Seven out of 10 of this product is exempt.
In the Wanli Dynasty, the gentry preferential exemption quota was further increased, and the current Jiake Jingguan was exempted from 10,000 mu of land for the first grade, and the following decreased, and the eighth grade was exempted from 2,700 mu; halving of foreign officials; Six-tenths of this product is exempt; The maximum amount of land can reach 3,350 acres, and the field of 1,200 acres can be 1,200 acres; Eighty acres of students and prisoners.
The people of the grass mustard donated land to the gentry and magnates, more in order to rely on the power of the gentry to avoid the endless oppression of conscription.
As for the reduction of taxes at the imperial court.
This is also very understandable.
After these gentry and magnates used up their preferential quotas, the remaining fields were fine as long as they were not on the fish scale book.
After all, this preferential exemption amount is too low, Jingguan has 10,000 mu of land, that is, 100 hectares of land, and Xu Jie, Xu Ge Lao had more than 20,000 hectares under his name, which is not a fraction.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when the fish scale book was made, there were about 8 million hectares of arable land registered in the country.
By the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, even if some barren fields opened up in the past hundred years were added, the number of registered fields was less than half, only more than 4 million hectares.
In this land of hot and yellow blood, it is an eternal tradition for officials to protect each other and collude interests.
"Brother, what should we do so that the people can farm independently, no longer oppressed by the powerful, and no longer annexed by the powerful."
Lao Zhu's brows were furrowed very tightly.
He was clothed on the right side of the cloth and came out of the micro end.
After Lao Zhu ascended the throne, one of the goals of governance was to ensure that the people of the world had fields and could afford to eat well, and he was even more strict with officials, that is, he did not want to have the tragedy of officials oppressing the people in the Ming Dynasty that he founded himself.
Therefore, in the Hongwu Dynasty, the hundred officials were eager for the emperor to send it as soon as possible, but the people were very supportive of the Son of Heaven.
But Lao Zhu didn't expect it.
The Ming Dynasty under his rule, after just over a hundred years, will evolve into the appearance he hates the most, this endless hard labor, what is the difference between the former yuan that will be taxed fifty years later?!
Lao Zhu's sharp gaze swept over these emperors in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
The incumbent emperors in the middle of the Ming Dynasty all dodged their eyes and did not dare to look directly at Lao Zhu.
"You still remember, I took you to see the illusion of the Fa test."
The voice fell.
Ah Biao's eyes lit up suddenly, he remembered the content on the rice paper that day, and he had even memorized a few important ones that day, which was Xueba's memory.
"A whip!"
"It is wonderful to merge all the conscription and all kinds of taxes into the spring and autumn taxes, and pay them all in silver, so that the people can avoid being oppressed by the petty officials!"
The princes of the first issue of the Son of Heaven all had stunned expressions, and they all recalled the content of the tax reform written on the rice paper that day.
As Ah Biao said in this passage, the core point of a whipping law is to unify a series of miscellaneous taxes and forced labor into taxes paid with silver.
But a whip law also has its limitations, when Zhang Juzheng formulated this whip law, because he needed to compromise with the powerful, so that a whip law has many loopholes, so that these powerful people can continue to exploit loopholes to make money.
The students of the second phase were confused, they didn't know what this 'whip method' meant.
'The immortal master is indeed an immortal master, and every word and deed has a deep meaning. ’
Just as everyone was sighing in their hearts about the mystery of the immortal master, Ji Boying's voice sounded.
"What I'm going to teach you today is not a whip."
"Or maybe it's not just a whip."
Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi and others, especially the incumbent emperor, all frowned.
And not just a whip?
What could that be?
Ji Boying swept over the group of princes of heaven present and saw the doubts in their eyes.
"Before we can solve this problem, we need to get to the heart of the problem."
"One, how to stop land annexation."
"Second, how to cut off the oppression of the people by grassroots officials."
When the words fell, Ji Boying paused slightly.
The entire main hall of the Drunken Immortal Building was silent, and even the sound of everyone's breathing could reach their ears, waiting for the immortal master to speak with bated breath.
They all knew that what the immortal master was going to say next was the way to solve the problem.
Ji Boying's gaze, especially at Hong Xi and Zhu Zhanji.
Hong Xi Xiaozhu stiffened his waist.
"Immortal Master, don't worry, I will definitely take it back without missing a word! And urge my father to learn! ”
"Hmm."
Ji Boying nodded, and then spoke.
"First, implement the proportion system of Wang Tian."
'Wang Tian's proportion? ’
These four words fell into the ears of all the princes of heaven, and they were all confused, they had never heard of this thing.
Wang Tian system has heard, what is Wang Tian proportion system?
"Keep listening."
Ji Boying naturally could see the doubts in the eyes of these people.
In fact, he also thought about it at first, whether he could use the paving into the mu, but considering that the Ming Dynasty will use overseas productive forces to promote its own social development in the future, a large amount of cultivated land productivity will inevitably be greatly liberated, and the use of paving into the mu will soon be eliminated.
"First of all, measure the fields of the whole country, and issue a decree in the name of the Son of Heaven to recognize the land annexed in the name of the powerful gentry."
"Absolutely not!"
Hearing this, Lao Zhu took the case.
In his opinion, these powerful gentry who annexed the people's land are all moths of the country and should all be executed!
"If you can't do it, you have to do it."
Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu.
The wind of the merger of the Ming Dynasty, up to the cabinet chief assistant, down to the county officials are all doing it, and even the blades of the Son of Heaven such as Jinyiwei are also the same, if they are all executed, it will really be killed from beginning to end, there is no one left, and the entire national machine will be down instantly.
Lao Zhu opened his mouth, but still didn't speak, sat down again, and continued to listen.
"After this, the Son of Heaven issued an edict that all the land in the world except for the land of the powerful gentry should be nationalized, so that the peasant households of the world became tenants of the state by nature."
"Then, the state-owned land is defined as an independent land investment collective, called Wang Tian."
"Let's give you an example."
"A certain magnate has 10,000 hectares of land, and the court takes out 10,000 hectares from Wang Tian and merges it with the 10,000 hectares of this magnate."
"After the merger, the cultivation of these 20,000 hectares of land was managed by the state, and 60% of the income from the 20,000 hectares of land was given to the powerful people that year."
Hearing this, Jiajing Immortal suddenly frowned, and couldn't help but speak.
"Master, why is it all my money, they take sixty percent, and I only take forty percent?"
Ji Boying glanced at Jiajing, gave him a look to shut up and listen carefully, and then continued.
"The following year, the imperial court took out another 20,000 hectares and combined them with these 20,000 hectares, giving the powerful 30% of the income this year."
"In another year, the imperial court took out another 40,000 hectares, combined them with these 40,000 hectares, and gave the powerful 20% of the benefits."
"And so on, when the land of the powerful is less than 10%."
Ji Boying swept past these princes of heaven, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
"It's up to you to decide."
These princes of heaven listened and thought, and their eyes gradually changed from confusion to clarity.
The so-called self-judgment of Ren Jun, that is, one kick out, and even a copy of the house, get back all the money given before, including the principal and interest.
"Wonderful!"
"It's amazing!"
Jiajing Immortal Le stroked his palms and laughed.
"In that case, it's all my money!"
Ji Boying glanced at Jiajing Immortal, isn't this old boy dedicated to cultivating immortals, it looks like he has lost his money.
After thinking for a while, the other princes of heaven also had bright eyes.
The core of land annexation is to deal with these powerful land-owning elites, and forcibly confiscating them will inevitably cause chaos.
And this way of boiling the frog in warm water is very good, and by the time the frog reacts to send it, it is too late to resist.
The idea of Wang Tian proportion, Ji Boying's initial inspiration was Wang Mang's Wang Tian system, as well as several real cases he witnessed in the years when he worked in a large factory in the world.
It is indisputable that the best way to resolve land annexation is to nationalize all land and prohibit the sale of land on a rent-to-sale basis.
It's just that Wang Mang's reform is too radical and idealistic, and the land in the hands of the nobles will be taken back to the state at one time, which naturally causes crazy attacks and opposition from the elites.
And Wang Tian's proportion is the meaning of boiling frogs in warm water, so that these powerful people get more money and silver every year than in the past, which is to grasp people's short-sighted inertia and vested interests.
In the end, after these magnates completely lost control of the land, they kicked out.
It's just that this trick of boiling frogs in warm water is implemented, and it will take more than ten years to gradually recover.
"Second, it is forbidden to buy and sell land privately, and the kings of later generations can no longer give land to noble clansmen."
At this point, Ji Boying mainly looked at Hongzhi Zhu Youji.
Zhu Youzhu was stunned and hurriedly got up.
"Remember the teachings of the Immortal Master!"
Zhu Houzhao, a young man sitting behind him, also got up.
"Immortal master, rest assured, in the future, with me in charge of the country, Hongzhi will never have another land-giving thing."
Zhu Houzhao, the Zhengde Emperor in the position of "Guiyi", looked at Hongzhi Zhu Houzhao with envy.
If he could have entered the court and prison country in advance, why would he have fought with those civil officials for more than ten years after ascending the throne, and finally ended up with chronic poisoning.
"Hmm."
Ji Boying nodded slightly, and then continued.
"Third, after the land under the world is nationalized, the peasant households are the tenants of the imperial court, and all miscellaneous taxes and miscellaneous labors such as land taxes, taxes, and forced labor are uniformly designated as "rents", which are paid once a year in spring and autumn, and are converted into silver taels."
"Fourth, a special tax department will be set up under the household department, and the head of the tax department will have the right to listen directly to heaven, and in the future, the national tax collection will be solely responsible for the tax collection of the whole country, and report to the Son of Heaven together with the household department, and the local government will no longer be involved."
After Ji Boying finished speaking, he glanced at the princes of the Son of Heaven who were still digesting the four articles, and sat back in the Taishi chair.
Trick variants.
There was an extra bottle of blue can fire cow in his hand.
Pull open the can-pull tab and take a bite to refresh your mind.
"Brother..."
And at this moment, he didn't wait for Lao Zhu to speak.
"Reminder: Mandatory Patch Update Has Begins"
A series of silver codes quickly circulated in front of Ji Boying's eyes.
It was only a few seconds before and after, and when the code disappeared, Ji Boying frowned.
The content of this mandatory patch is indeed a bit puzzling at first glance.
"In order to reduce the host's influence on the kingdoms of each time and space, except for the prince of heaven and the host whitelist of each time and space, all other memories related to the host will be erased."
"The whitelist is open, and the quota for each time and space is 5 people"
Ji Boying thought for a moment.
This means that such as the previous Hong Xi, Zhu Gaoxu, Hong Wu Xu Da, and Tianshun Yu Qian, their memories of themselves will all be erased.
However, this patch is actually good for extending the national ancestry.
If you show up too much and everyone can remember your existence, you will inevitably go to theology.
The flourishing of theology is actually detrimental to the development of the times.
After all, throughout the development process of the West, it is the royal power that breaks the divine power, and then the capital breaks the royal power, and finally pushes the society forward and enters modernization.
…………………………
Hongxi time and space, late at night.
Le'an, Han Wangfu, Houhua Courtyard.
'Bang! Bang dang! ’
It was the sound of a vat shattering.
At a glance, in this huge courtyard, under the moonlight, there were seven or eight large vat that had been smashed.
The bearded Zhu Gaoxu sat paralyzed beside a large vat, panting heavily, since he returned from the orthodox space-time civil fort half a year ago, Zhu Gaoxu began to smash ten cylinders a day.
In the past half a year, the vat destroyed in his hands has not been two thousand but one thousand eight, so that now the people of Le'an have given Zhu Gaoxu a nickname: His Royal Highness the King of the Tank.
Zhu Gaoxu's hatred for his eldest nephew Zhu Zhanji has accumulated for half a year, and it has become deeper and deeper, and it is impossible to increase it.
I am a dignified generation of Han kings, if I didn't have myself back then, this would have been the head of your gang one by one.
Unexpectedly! I even dared to bake it!
Thinking that he was cooked alive by Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaoxu was angry and wanted to go crazy.
However, under strong mental oppression, he did not dare to make a move.
Because he knew himself in other planes, the rebellion failed.
Because he also knew that the immortal master could bring other people to his Hongxi Dynasty, and in the existence of a famous founding general like Xu Da, if he rebelled, there was no chance of victory at all.
Angry in his heart, he slammed his fist into the vat next to him.
Under this punch, this vat cracked, which shows that Zhu Gaoxu's iron cylinder fist has been completed.
And in the next moment, Zhu Gaoxu's face suddenly froze, the anger on his face turned into a daze, and the whole person seemed to be down on the spot and was uninstalling the software.
In just half a cup of tea, Zhu Gaoxu went online again, and glanced at so many broken cylinders.
'Huh? ’
'Why the hell am I smashing so many cylinders all these years?' Why do I hate my eldest nephew so much? ’
He had forgotten how he had died, and he had completely forgotten everything he had experienced half a year ago, and naturally he didn't remember what he had experienced in the Orthodox Civil Fort even more.
Zhu Gaoxu stood up and paced back and forth under the moonlight.
Although he couldn't figure out the reason, the ruthlessness he had accumulated towards Zhu Zhanji in the past six months couldn't be suppressed no matter what, and it kept impacting his mind.
This symptom manifests itself as a typical 'unloading cache'.
Although Zhu Gaoxu forgot why he hated, the monstrous hatred for Zhu Zhanji in his heart was undiminished.
"No, I can't bear it."
"Take advantage of the boss's critical illness! Lao Tzu is going to send troops to surround Shuntian! this kid! ”
