Bang –

Eldest Sun Tianlu slapped the table and stood up, "Bold!" ”

"My Dasheng tax law has lasted for thousands of years, but you rebel said to change it?!"

The old man thought that his son would be a little more restrained in front of Wen Chen, the imperial historian, but he didn't want him to be even more violent than before, and he actually said such a rebellious thing in front of the holy people!

Wen Chen's face was slightly gloomy, and he raised his hand, "Lord Eldest Sun, don't worry first, this official said that no matter what the unruly son says today, he will be treated as innocent." ”

Then he turned to the eldest grandson, "Unrestrained son, taxation is a good policy for the benefit of the country and the people, why do you say that you want to abolish Ding Fu?" And what does this have to do with the Qingzhou disaster? ”

This time he came to Qingzhou, and the task given to him by the little emperor was to completely quell the matter, and it was best to put an end to this kind of situation of satisfying himself with disasters.

Throughout the ages, what corrupt official did not know that what he did would cause death, and which dynasty and generation rarely had the appearance of such people?

"Lord Wen, the kid doesn't know what the situation is in Jizhou and Shangjingcheng, but here in Qingzhou, the people have been miserable by the Ding Fu incident, and everyone is only reluctant to farm, because the imperial court has a policy of reducing and reducing the Ding Fu in the disaster area, as long as everyone is still suffering, not only can you get food without farming, but also the Ding Fu that needs to be paid every year in the past does not need to be paid again, let Lord Wen see, do you choose to get it without hard work, or choose to work hard for a year, and the income and food are still beyond your means, and you are destitute?" The eldest grandson is uninhibited.

Wen Chen frowned, "As far as this official knows, the Ding Fu levied by the imperial court is only levied on men, and it is not much of a burden to share it equally on everyone's head, how can the people work hard for a year and get nothing?" ”

"Humph!" The eldest grandson Wuji turned to look out of the door and said coldly, "Master Wen thinks that my Dasheng officials will do things according to the rules?" ”

"There is an order in the imperial court, where the levy of Ding Fu, the newborn are added, and the dead are expelled, this is also the law, but now the actual situation in Qingzhou is that every time there is an editor, there must be collusion between officials and businessmen, and the secretary of the department in the name of increasing the household registration, regardless of the suffering of the people, should not be deleted, should not be increased, but the death of the person can not be removed, but the newborn is responsible for the registration, and the rich will register their own babies and the poor people, so that the people will increase the burden, and complain for days, is this the original intention of His Majesty to levy the Ding Fu?!"

Hiss –

Now Wen Chen can be regarded as understanding, Ding Fu's business is very deep!

The Dasheng tax law stipulates that Cheng Ding needs to pay 120 yuan per year, that is, 12 taels of silver, and the second Ding is halved, which is about 3 to 40% of today's per capita income.

However, whenever the registration is checked, the clerk can abuse his power and still levy the Ding tax on the families of ordinary people, and the deceased person should not cancel the account, and the tax on those under the age of 16 is also a Ding, and some businessmen in order to reduce the burden, they even collude with the secretary to put their children's household registration in the name of someone who has nothing to do with it, and let others pay the Ding Fu on their behalf, so that the burden of the people will increase exponentially.

And these overcollected silver will naturally not fall into the pockets of the imperial court.

In the event of a catastrophe, the imperial court reduced or exempted the Ding Fu, and the people suddenly found that they seemed to sit and receive relief without working, and they were much more comfortable than in the past when they were tired and tired and paid the Ding Fu for others.

In this way, it gave Qingzhou officials an opportunity, the people did not want to work and stretched out their hands to ask for food, and they naturally made profits from it, one was willing to fight and one was willing to suffer, but some corrupt officials did not abide by the rules of the game and cut off the people's way of life, which led to the intensification of the disaster in Qingzhou!

"From this point of view, this Ding Fu doesn't seem to be a good thing......" Xuan Yang whispered on the side.

"The county lord is righteous!" As soon as he heard that someone echoed him, the eldest grandson Wujian hurriedly bowed and saluted!

Wen Chen glared at the little black bean helplessly, "Do you know where your father's silver came from?" ”

"Exempt Ding Fu, the annual tax revenue of the imperial court must be reduced by at least 30%, where does the income of the hundred officials come from? Where does the military spending for the war come from? If there is a catastrophe in other places, where will Your Majesty's relief food and grass come from? ”

One sentence made the eldest grandson speechless.

"Then what do you say?" Xuanyang pouted and said, "The life of a hundred officials is life, but isn't the life of the people in the world life?" ”

The eldest Sun Tianlu on the side also sighed for a long time, shook his head and said, "There is no solution to this matter, and now I can only give up my small family to take care of everyone, so the lower officials have never had the idea of affirming uninhibited, if this is spread out, not to mention that the official position of the lower officials is not guaranteed, I am afraid that it will cause death!" ”

The court is like this, if you put forward an idea and move the interests of others, others will find a way to rectify you, Ding Fu has a lot of fat to share people, even today's saints will not easily let go, where is the idea that the eldest grandson Wuji, a hairy boy with no official position, should move?

"Hoo ......"

Wen Chen took a deep breath and looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, "Actually, it's not completely unsolvable, it's just that we have to find a way to transfer the burden on the people to the people who can bear it......"

"The tax must be paid, and after receiving the silver, His Majesty will support you to cancel the Ding Fu!"

The eldest grandson Wuji, who was already disheartened, suddenly lit up, "Lord Wen has a way?" ”

Wen Chen smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, but before that, this official wants to ask the unruly son a question." ”

"Lord Wen, please speak!" The eldest grandson said respectfully.

"Does the uninhibited son have any plans to become an official?"

Before the eldest grandson Wujian could speak, his father vetoed, "Wujian has an upright personality, only suitable for studying knowledge, not suitable for entering the court as an official, thank you Lord Wen for your kindness!" ”

Wen Chen glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, who was not angry, shook his head and smiled, "Lord eldest grandson, avoiding it will not solve the problem, and this official has also heard that when Lord Eldest Sun was young, he was also a hot-blooded young man who was upright and couldn't rub sand in his eyes, but now that he is old, he has lost even his guts?" ”

He understands that what the eldest grandson Tianlu is worried about is nothing more than that this old boy has made too many enemies for officials for many years, and he will soon reach the age of retirement and cannot continue to take care of it, afraid that after his son embarks on his official career, the former enemies will clean up this fledgling hairy child!

And it can also be seen from the performance of the eldest grandson Tianlu as an official in the past few years that as the assassin of Qingzhou, he should have strictly inspected the behavior of the officials in Qingzhou in this disaster, but there is such a big foreign appearance here, and the little emperor in Shangjing City has no idea what Yuan Qingshan has done, which is simply incredible!

"Avoidance?" The eldest grandson Tianlu suddenly sat up straight, deliberately raised his head and said, "The lower officials have been honest and honest all their lives, even if Lord Wen specially came to investigate, the lower officials are not afraid at all, what is there to avoid?" ”

Wen Chen snorted and said softly, "It's okay for Lord Eldest Sun to deceive the official, just don't lie to yourself." ”

"You're ......!" The eldest grandson Tianlu blushed and was about to defend himself, but he had already turned his head around.

"Uninhibited son, this official will stay in Lucheng for a while, when you have an idea, you can find this official in the Xue family's business." After that, Wen Chen patted Xuanyang's shoulder with his hand, "Let's go, Lord County, this meal is estimated to be uneating." ”

Little Black Bean suddenly smiled, she was not interested in the ugly-looking "Drought Fish", and when she heard this, she was naturally very happy.

"Lord Wen, you haven't told the kid yet, how can you get Your Majesty to abolish Ding Fu!" The eldest grandson said anxiously.

Wen Chen waved his hand without replying, "Next time we talk, if the son has the heart to listen to what the official just said, it will not be difficult for him to think of it." ”

The eldest grandson was stunned in place, his expression blank as he recalled what Wen Chen had said since he entered the door, and his mind was confused for a while.

Just when the two of them were about to walk out of the gate of the Thorn History Mansion, a subordinate suddenly ran in outside the door, and said to the eldest grandson Tianlu with a gloomy face:

"Master, Xue Ding heard that the young master likes different characters, so he sent someone to send a few boxes of books over......"
