Married to an old emperor Section 166

For this reason, many people will "donate" their land property on the official body for various reasons to legally avoid taxes.

Not only does this move make it impossible for the state treasury to collect taxes, but it also has a more serious point, that is, behind every petty official, a bunch of local powerful forces should be gathered in a reasonable and reasonable manner.

If the lower-level executive body is too bloated, the imperial power will lose its authority, this is a very easy thing to think of, Xi Hongrui is now the imperial power, how can she allow this kind of thing to continue.

Therefore, as soon as she took office, she began to implement a new policy, whether it was a person or an official, of course, she still had to raise her.

However, the state raises you, the state gives you land, the state gives you money, and you are not allowed to accept private contributions from the people, and you limit the quantity.

As soon as this move came out, there was an uproar.

Prior to this, Xi Hongrui had been cutting down big households, and although they were affected, they were not too big, so they obeyed under strong pressure.

Unexpectedly, now this knife is directly cut at them.

As a result, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty became "loyal to the monarch and patriotic" as never before, and the originally peaceful court immediately became a vegetable market.

It's okay if you go on and say, I can listen to it, even if you win.

When she announced this decision, she was not prepared to accept the objections, touching her own interests, of course, it would cause a backlash, a crooked ass, no matter how reasonable what he said, it was also a fart, so it would be good to attack Hongrui as long as the other half of the person's ass became crooked.

This is accompanied by a reduction in taxes for small farmers.

In addition to the annexation of land by the powerful, there is also the excessive taxation of ordinary people, and ordinary people have to turn themselves into someone's private property to resist the exploitation of the imperial court.

And why did the imperial court exploit it, because it couldn't collect taxes, the more it hid, the more it couldn't collect taxes, and the more it couldn't collect taxes, the more it exploited, and a vicious circle.

Since this is the case, it is necessary to solve this problem at the root, calculate the number of acres of land per capita, and if it does not exceed the prescribed amount, like a proletarian hired farmer, only pay the tax per capita, and all other miscellaneous taxes will be exempted, and if the amount exceeds the amount, a separate tax law will be applied.

In this way, it is certainly the small peasants who will benefit the most, and the proletarians also see the hope of saving money to buy land.

As the executors of the central structure, how can the central officials completely get rid of the influence from below?

Therefore, Xi Hongrui did not hesitate to issue another large-scale report, dismantling and breaking down the harm of "dedication" to the people, the important significance of reorganizing the tax law, and the benefits they could obtain if this national policy was implemented.

Not only that, but Yu Hongrui also had to reform the military system and give soldiers treatment.

As long as the "consecration" law is successfully repealed, the state treasury will have money to support you.

Through the exchange of coins, the collection of words, and various strategies to secure the army and the people, the lower-level soldiers and civilians have already had a kind of blind worship of the attack on Hongrui, and when they heard that Niangniang was working for their welfare again, what a good person! Great people!

As for those who oppose the policy of attacking Hongrui, bah, what is said is quite nice, what For the stability of the country, isn't it just to make money for yourself, big traitor!

Attacking Hongrui's public opinion with one hand tightly stuck the neck of the "clear stream", and the financial power with the other hand tightly stuck the neck of the "turbid current".

Baiguan was very uncomfortable by her, but she still breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, she just said that she was not allowed to accept private acceptance from the people, not that the court would not raise her, and what she listened to was just consumption downgrade, and if she didn't listen to her, she would be kicked out immediately.

Although everyone knows that this is a matter of self-interest, although the officials of the world are one family, they are not close to each other, and who is willing to sacrifice an individual for the sake of the "great collective cause"?

Therefore, Xi Hongrui still holds a knife in one hand and sugar in the other, not only to implement the new policy, but also to open Enke.

In fact, since the fall of Xiao Nanshan, she has begun to frequently open Enke, and the imperial examination has almost become a matter of once a year.

The old man felt that it was unacceptable to curb the "dedication", but the newcomer was red-eyed, no matter what he was, let me squeeze it up first!

It's easy to fish in chaos, and she likes chaos when she hits Hongrui.

So it's time to think about whether it's time for me to adapt to you, or for you to adapt to me.

……

The situation finally calmed down, but he didn't expect that he would muddy the water again.

She no longer had an opponent, but she created another opponent for herself.

Ning Lan fell silent.

The drawback of Daqi lies in the three redundancies, redundant officials, redundant troops, and redundant expenses, and this is the crux of the problem that can be seen by anyone who has some brains.

But no one dares to operate at the source, because the first problem faced by this knife is "redundant officials."

What is an official, an official is an arm that can exercise power, which can be used by oneself or overturn oneself, and who dares to touch the interests of one's own arm.

And Raid Hongrui dares, not only dares, but she also has a great possibility of doing it.

She seems to really like to make waves in the chaos, in the storm, so that everyone is unable to protect themselves, and then in the chaos to decide, stepping on the bones of all the defeated to become king.

However, the huge gains also represent huge risks, as the good swimmers drown in the water, and the good ones end up burning themselves.

Ning Lan seems to have finally found an opportunity to overthrow her, but does he really want to seize this opportunity......

Chapter 121: Rich

Daqi's economy is so developed, but it still runs a fiscal deficit every year, and the problem of large households hiding taxes cannot be bypassed.

It is not uncommon for officials and businessmen to collude with large households that have land and wealth and are rich in oil, and officials protect each other.

The proletarian and landless people could not evade taxes, and could only become the most basic tax base, which was exploited by both the large families and the imperial court.

Those who have money do not pay, those who have no money are squeezed into mud, and the people at the bottom who cannot survive are either self-slaves of the big families and increase the power of local tycoons and officials, or they go to serve as soldiers and receive subsistence allowances, and continue to cause the problem of "redundant troops."

In the end, the best solution for both sides is to rebel, so that no matter whether it is the common people or the local tycoons, people will die anyway, and one by one will die.

When people die, they don't get emotional, they can redistribute their land and wealth, and after a long time, nothing happens and they can go on living.

But to this point, no matter from any point of view, it is not friendly to the emperor at the top.

The emperor used the state to provide for him, and harming the people's livelihood was harming the country's foundation and hollowing out his own foundation, but even if he paid such a big price, he still couldn't collect the money, and where did the money go, and it went to the hands of the powerful officials at all levels.

This huge institution lies in the middle, and from below it sucks up a hundred, and gives one to the emperor, and then receives an order from the emperor to exploit the people a hundredfold.

It is clear that most of the head has been eaten by them, but in the process, they can play an innocent role, while uniting with the local tyrants, forming parties for personal gain, and growing their own strength, so that the emperor can not do anything for himself, and on the other hand, they can also be a "loyal minister of the clear stream" and accuse the emperor of not cherishing the people's power.

In response to this problem, it is not that no one wants to change the new law to solve this problem, and in the end they all end up failing.

In the final analysis, the beneficiary of this deformity is the executive agency, who will be stupid enough to act in his own interests.

Xi Hongrui is different from others, she is not making a fuss on the surface, but directly moving the knife at the root.

In the past, she used the method of compiling the labor population to count the countless hidden fields from the angle of "why do you hire 1,000 people per acre of land?" and caused the tax revenue of the state treasury to increase dramatically.

But this part belongs to "illegal Tibetan fields", and there are still many "legal hidden fields" that are still hidden, so she once again struck hard to make "legal hidden fields" illegal.

In the past, this move would have touched everyone's interests and would be self-defeating, but the current situation is unique.

Officials are a collective, but they are not one, and if they want to become a "henchman" who opposes the imperial power, it will take at least a few years to operate and a clear-cut leader.

Now that Xiao Lin's second party has been attacked from head to toe, Hongrui has been completely wiped out, who is the new leader, Lao Guogong? Qin Xingchao?

Lao Guogong was a mascot with mud, Qin Xingchao was a hardcore dogleg who attacked Hongrui, and the military generals led by Deng Yi silently squeezed around Hongrui, and only Zhu Erchi dared to express his opposition openly.

But can you let him be the head, needless to say, he wants to do this kind of thing himself.

If she really did this, what would she get?

A clear and transparent tax collection book and a huge new tax base can not only obtain actual revenue from the national treasury, but also free the original people from the heavy taxes.

The situation that those who have money do not pay and those who have no money are squeezed into mud no longer exists, and the big households cannot hide their fields, so they cannot hide their taxes, and their taxes will not decrease, but will increase sharply.

If the people below have the capital to settle down, the cost of settling the displaced people will be reduced, and the burden on the finances will be reduced.

As soon as it rises and falls, the state treasury will certainly become abundant, and at this time she will be able to give the army a salary, and she can even give subsidies to officials who have been deprived of the "right to accept contributions."

It seems that nothing has changed, but the root is different.

She is the target of tax payment for large households, and she is still the one who uses the tax money of large households to settle hundreds of officials, soldiers, and civilians, and she is all good people, and anyone who crosses her is not legal.

Just a little flick, let the original vicious circle, exhaust the fish, begin to center on her, benign reversal.

She was really lucky to be on her side.

During the war, she used the interest on the national debt to attract a huge amount of clean money from large households.

Money is really important, and so is the source.

A large amount of money represents effective execution, and a clean source means that she has clean execution from the very beginning and does not have to compromise with anyone.

Ning Lan felt that he could no longer maintain a normal state of mind.

If he was the emperor and Raid Hongrui was in the guest seat, he would naturally be very happy to raid Raid Hongrui to help him clear the plate, but he wasn't.

Xi Hongrui is the real "emperor", and no matter how clean and stable this plate is, it has nothing to do with him.

Heaven is so cruel, why should he see such a promising seedling with his own eyes, and tell him that everything has nothing to do with him?

If Xi Hongrui really does this, then the positive feedback will continue to bring positive feedback, and her foundation will become more and more stable, and the more she goes to the back, the stronger she becomes.

In fact, there is only one thing that can restrain her, and that is that although Xi Hongrui already has the authority of the emperor, she is not the real emperor.

She still had a difficult hurdle to overcome, and that was the old emperor's death, and she actually showed her fangs to hundreds of officials at this time.

Maybe it was because she was too self-convinced, or maybe she floated, but in short, she exposed her throat when she shouldn't.

At this time, the hundred officials can't make a sound, it doesn't mean that there is no voice, and if there is no voice now, it doesn't mean that there will be no voice in the future.

She has pushed some people to the opposite side when her foundation is undecided, and this silent group needs a leader who will instantly reveal its true power when the leader appears.

If you think about it carefully, it was actually just a child and an old emperor who anchored the position of the Hongrui Emperor.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the old emperor's physical condition does not have a few years to live, and that child belongs to him, and he and the "daughter of a criminal minister" who was killed by the attack on Hongrui.

So he has another chance, and if he is willing to compromise, to compromise with that silent part of the group, he will gain a new force.

But as soon as he thought of the word compromise, Ning Lan's heart was about to tingle.

Compromise means concessions, it means that he wants to give up the power to take back the raid on Hongrui, it means that a good situation that was originally in his favor has been shattered by his own hands, does he really want to do such a thing?

……

She doesn't care what the male protagonist thinks, she just needs to do what she wants to do.

Yes, the good days are not over for a few days, and she is going to take risks again.

It would only be two or three years before the old emperor died, and before that, people were simply sick in order to make trouble for themselves, but she really couldn't think of any more suitable time than the present time to do this now.

The problem of redundant officials is an objective fact, and as long as she still wants to live a good life, this knife must be cut, and no matter when she cuts it, it is a declaration of war against all officials.

Admittedly, this is also when she is at her weakest, but strength has always been a relative concept.

Now that the Xiao Party is abolished and the Lin Party is gone, the entire court has no power to resist her, and before "sitting firmly", it is precisely when her team is the most cohesive.
