After giving these orders, Liang asked the ministers to step back and arrange their own affairs.

The affairs of the battlefield will be handled by Chang Yuchun.

In the rear, Liang asked to personally handle the affairs, such as grain and grass, as well as taxes in various places.

Today, Liang's tax system is still based on the poll tax, which is a very backward tax system in Liang Wendao's opinion, and he plans to move a set of tax systems called apportionment into mu first.

Therefore, Liang Wendao also brought several members of the cabinet over, intending to talk about his thoughts in this regard.

The cabinet was also formed by Liang Wendao during this period of time, similar to the status of Zhongshu Province and Prime Minister, and Wu Zhongyun was also in the cabinet.

Compared to the Zhongshu Province and the Privy Council, the power of this cabinet is much smaller, but it is still not to be underestimated!

After all, Liang asked, but he could summon a cabinet minister alone!

If the cabinet ministers are bent on asking Liang, then even if they are not hostile to the existence of the Great Liang Empire, these cabinet ministers can make some merits from their own aspects!

"Your Majesty, I don't know what I summoned to discuss?"

Soon, several members of the cabinet also came to the imperial study, and immediately bowed their hands to Liang and asked.

They knew very well that the study was not so easy to get into!

"What do you think about the treasury?"

Liang asked, his eyes cold, and he said.

He knew very well that the treasury was very empty now!

Although the treasury is in the hands of their ministers, if the treasury is not enough to support it, then these ministers will definitely be held accountable!

"Your Majesty, I wonder if you have considered the idea of increasing income and reducing expenditure? Although our Great Liang Empire is not empty in the treasury now, it can't afford any waste! ”

Seeing that Liang Wendao summoned his own people alone, the head of the household in the cabinet also bowed his hand to Liang Wendao and said.

"A large part of the reason for this situation is that there are big loopholes in the current tax system, and every household is taxed according to the head, so that some landlords have a lot of land in their homes, and no matter how many heads they have, this system is obviously problematic."

Liang Wendao didn't hide it, he directly said his thoughts, and these words also made everyone present fall into silence, and it was not clear for a while what Liang Wendao wanted to do when he talked about this matter.

"Your Majesty, dare to ask what you mean by the loopholes in the tax system?"

The household servants in the cabinet also opened their mouths and asked Liang Wen, they are very clear, that is, the tax system is studied by their ministers, if there are big loopholes in it, then these ministers must also have unshirkable responsibilities!

"You can imagine that if a family has a lot of people, but very little land, then the tax is also very high, and conversely, if a family has a lot of land, but the population is small, then the tax is very low, isn't that a loophole?"

Liang asked, and said in a cold tone.

He knows one thing very well, that is, many people in the Great Liang Empire have complaints, and if he can get the tax back up, then he will definitely be able to win the hearts of the people!

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

One of the ministers in the cabinet also opened his mouth to Liang and asked.

"Have you ever thought of a way to make those wealthy families with many fields pay more taxes?"

Liang Wendao said in a cold tone, seeing that the people present did not have the idea of opening their mouths, he also added again: "I have come up with a system called apportionment into acres during this period of time, and the collection of taxes does not look at the head, but on the field. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers present were stunned.

They know very well that Liang asks if he is not sure, he will never say it, and since he has said it, it proves that Liang is sure of it!

"This ...... Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of system you are talking about? ”

One of the ministers in the cabinet also asked tentatively.

"To put it simply, it is to divide the fields according to good and bad, and the good fields are taxed more, and the bad fields are taxed less, and they are remeasured every once in a while, what do you think of such a tax system?"

Liang asked, his eyes cold, and he said.

In fact, this system also has drawbacks in later generations, but it is very useful in this era!

These ministers all glanced at each other, but they knew very well that this system would definitely benefit those poor people, but it would definitely damage the interests of some wealthy families!

"Your Majesty, I don't know how long you said that you should re-measure every once in a while?"

The head of the household in the cabinet also opened his mouth and asked Liang Wen, he knew very well that if it took too long, then some people would be able to take advantage of the loopholes!

"Don't worry about that, measure every other year, and draw a map to mark the fields of each household, so that if anyone wants to evade taxes, it will be clear at a glance!"

Liang asked triumphantly.

In fact, he just said it casually, if he really wanted to measure it every other year, then it would be very difficult!

At least not in this day and age!

"Your Majesty, I wonder if the system of apportionment of land to mu you mentioned will harm the interests of some wealthy families?"

One of the ministers in the cabinet also opened his mouth to Liang and asked.

"Damage a little bit, let them bleed!"

"But this will definitely make many wealthy people feel dissatisfied, at this time there are Xiongnu current, if you want to implement this system on a large scale, I'm afraid it's not a suitable idea, or take a province as a pilot first, see how the situation is?"

Although Wu Zhongyun is a military general, he is not stupid, and naturally understands the possible consequences of this system.
