Chapter 68: Can It Be Done?

The so-called paving into acres is actually very simple.

It is to set a poll tax for a certain year, and then divide the poll tax into the field tax, and no longer collect the poll tax.

In this way, the pressure on the powerful will increase, because there will be more food to pay.

Dare to do this, is to risk offending the world's great clans to do, Yongzheng after the completion of this system, but also by the landlords and powerful people hated for a lifetime, until later generations, his image in the folk is often a tyrannical villain.

But his unsuccessful son has a great reputation.

But Cao Chao doesn't care about this so-called reputation.

His reputation has long since been ruined.

After so many policies that were unfavorable to the big clans, his reputation had long since rotten.

Don't look at those scholars, people have opinions about themselves.

Cao Chao can think that in many literary works, he is probably a tyrant like the First Emperor.

I can't guarantee that there will be some heroine to kill Cao Chao and the like.

Many of his previous policies have completely offended the big clans, and they have already offended anyway, are you afraid of offending more completely? ?

Originally, Cao Chao wanted to do this after the resettlement of displaced people from various places and the completion of the preliminary construction.

But since Zhong Hui took the initiative to raise the issue of taxes, Cao Chao also wanted to talk to him.

"Shiji, what will happen if I order the abolition of the poll tax now?"

Zhong Hui pondered for a moment, and then said: "If Your Majesty abolishes the poll tax, the people of the world will definitely be ecstatic, they will have incomparable respect for Your Majesty, within thirty years, the population of the world will only be able to recover to the Later Han Dynasty, fifty years, it will be able to exceed the Later Han Dynasty, if it is a hundred years, the ministers really dare not think."

Cao Chao looked up and laughed.

"That's what I'm going to say, since it can be of such great benefit to the temple, why don't you do it?"

Zhong Hui added: "Your Majesty doesn't mention the benefits, but without the poll tax, the income of the temple will be reduced by more than half." ”

"Especially now, Your Majesty has also exempted the land tax of Shu and Wu."

"If His Majesty had ordered the abolition of the poll tax today, the treasury would have been empty this year, and the tax would have to be raised next year."

Cao Chao sighed, "In the end, we still have to raise the tax, this field tax is already very high, if it is increased again, how can the people bear it." ”

Zhong Hui subconsciously wanted to nod.

Suddenly, a thunderclap flashed through his mind.

Cao Chao's words made him think of something instantly.

Looking at the sluggish Zhong Hui, Cao Chao hurriedly shouted: "Shi Ji?? ”

Zhong Hui hurriedly looked at Cao Chao, "Your Majesty! If it is added to the land tax, the people can bear it! ”

"Your Majesty's abolition of the poll tax has reduced the pressure on the people a lot, and the people do not own much land, and the field tax to be paid will increase, and the impact on them will not be great."

"No matter how much Your Majesty adds, it will not exceed the sum of the field tax and the poll tax in the past."

"On the contrary, it is the big clans, they occupy so much arable land, if the proportion of land tax increases"

Zhong Hui suddenly laughed, "How long has Your Majesty wanted to do this?" ”

Cao Chao knew that he couldn't hide it.

He chuckled and said, "Very early, when I was young, I went out once, learned a lot, and I remembered this at that time. ”

"I've been thinking about this for a long time, when I was in Yuancheng, I saw many times that people abandoned their children, and I felt very sad, and I was thinking about how to abolish the poll tax."

"Would it be more appropriate if we set a decision that the poll tax would not increase this year, and then spread it evenly among the field tax, and then decrease it in descending order?"

Zhong Hui was really attracted by Cao Chao's idea.

At this moment, the two began a fierce conversation.

Because the backgrounds and many policies of the two eras are different, if they are to be implemented, they still need people like Zhong Hui to think about whether they can succeed.

The two chatted very hotly, and Cao Chao didn't hide his secrets, and told Zhong Hui almost everything he knew, which was extraordinarily detailed.

Zhong Hui kept adding, and in the end, Zhong Hui's eyes looked at Cao Chao more and more hot.

"Your Majesty may not need descendants, just in our lifetime, we can create a prosperous era!"

"The reason why the governance of the Great Wei Dynasty is slow today is because of the lack of people, if what His Majesty said can really be promoted, coupled with the land appreciation order to allow the people to own arable land"

Zhong Hui trembled all over, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in his heart.

"Your Majesty!! You can do this as soon as possible!! ”

After sending off Zhong Hui, Cao Chao returned to the West Hall.

Zhong Hui was very anxious, and if it was handed over to him, he would be eager to carry it out from tomorrow.

But Cao Chao has to be much calmer, and the more influential the policy, the more calm he must think.

There can be no mistakes.

Don't underestimate these big clans today, these big clans have a lot of tricks, and you don't know what kind of methods they will use to escape or transfer the pressure

Zhang Hua left the palace and returned to his mansion with Lu Kang.

Jang Jae and his brother were already waiting here.

They also brought a heavyweight guest with them, and that person was none other than Nguyen.

Ruan Ji is also one of Cao Chao's loose riders.

Seeing this coming, Erzhang didn't dare to sit down easily.

After a few people sat down, Zhang Hua hurriedly ordered the disciples to prepare food and drink, and chatted with them.

Several of them spoke of the two policies that had been drawn up today.

Zhang Hua said: "I see that Your Majesty attaches great importance to the affairs of Shazhou, and I want to send envoys to countries outside Shazhou to reopen the road, and I am very much in favor of Your Majesty's idea." ”

"Previously, Emperor Wen was not very willing to send envoys to the Western Regions or out of the Western Regions."

"He thinks that small countries should be allowed to send envoys, and there is no reason for large countries to take the initiative to send envoys."

"The two Han Dynasty are still like this, and I don't know why Emperor Wen refused"

Several people chatted very lively, and Ruan Ji couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

Since the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest were forcibly dispersed by the emperor, they each ushered in a different fate.

Except for Liu Ling, who is still living her own secluded life outside, the rest of the people are already on their careers.

Ji Kang was in the Chongwen Pavilion, gathering some literati all day long to compose poems or something.

And Shantao is the most fierce, this guy is already serving as a squire in Shangshu, and one step further is Shangshu.

Xiang Xiuci, he served as a writer.

And Ruan Ji, there has been no growth or regression in these days, and he is just messing around in the position of a loose rider.

Just as everyone was happily discussing, there was a sudden commotion outside.

I heard someone shouting something, which immediately ruined the atmosphere in the house.

Even Zhang Hua couldn't help frowning at this moment.

Just as Zhang Hua was about to go out to inquire, the door was pushed open suddenly, and a tall guy broke in and looked at everyone.

Seeing this person, Zhang Hua sighed secretly.

That's right, it's Zhonghui.

Despite their reluctance, several people bowed to Zhonghui.

The servant stood behind Zhong Hui with a face full of grievances, he really couldn't stop him!!

Zhang Hua knew that this guy was here to find fault.

Zhong Hui looked at these people, walked to their side very naturally, and then sat down directly next to Zhang Hua, and squeezed Zhang Hua again, Zhang Hua moved his position and let him sit in the master's seat.

Zhong Hui looked at the crowd, "I have something very important to discuss with the two of you. ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Hua was stunned.

Lu Kang was also a little hesitant.

Zhong Hui looked at Ruan Ji and said with a smile: "I don't know that you are also here, and the important matter discussed today, please don't spread it." ”

Hearing this, Ruan Ji was very angry, he immediately got up, waved his sleeves, turned around and left.

And Zhong Hui didn't chase him, just sat calmly in his position.

Zhang Hua got up, hurriedly caught up with Ruan Ji, apologized in various ways, and then sent him out of the mansion.

After Zhang Hua came back, Zhong Hui looked at Erzhang again.

When he saw Zhang Zai, Zhong Hui subconsciously leaned back.

"Who are you?"

"Taixue student Zhang Zai visits Zhong Shizhong!"

"Oh, Zhang Shu's son?"

Zhong Hui waved his hand, "You two just stay here and wait!" ”

"Yui!!"

Zhong Hui looked at the two people beside him and said very seriously: "Originally, I didn't want to look for you, but today Your Majesty told me a big thing, and I can do it alone, but if someone helps, this matter will go more smoothly." ”

"The two of you, although they are not as good as me, are also considered sages in the temple."

"I need both of you to help me with this."

After Zhong Hui finished speaking, Zhang Hua and Lu Kang glanced at each other, and they were very surprised by each other.

What kind of thing is it that makes Zhong Hui come to the two of them to help??

Is it something bad? The kind that will be spurned by future generations??

Zhong Hui said again: "This matter is still uncertain, I am just thinking, so I can't leak it, so I am angry with Ruan Gong, also because he has too many friends of celebrities."

Zhang Hua glanced at Zhang Zai, then he can stay because he has no celebrity friends??

Why do you think he has no friends?

"So, none of you can leak it!"

After getting the consent of several people, Zhong Hui slowly talked about the big thing that Cao Chao said and he said.

Zhong Hui spoke faster and faster, and the two people around him were more and more shocked the more they listened.

When Zhong Hui finished all his thoughts, Zhang Hua took the lead in getting up.

"Good!! Great goodness!! ”

"I think it can be implemented!!"

Lu Kang still looked a little hesitant.

Zhong Hui glanced at him and asked with a sneer, "What, is Duke Lu worried that his family will pay too much land tax?" ”

Lu Kang said: "I'm just thinking, if it's an equal apportionment, what kind of flat apportionment method should it be, Zhong Gong just said that it should be divided according to the amount of cultivated land, and he said that it can be divided according to the grain production, I am afraid that this flat will come and go, but in the end it will be flat on the heads of those poor people."
