Chapter 519
"Daddy."

"Ok?"

"Have you finished handling your government affairs?"

"No. There are endless government affairs."

"Oh, then I haven't finished my homework either. Because I can't finish my homework."

I fuck.

Zhu Youjian wanted to beat someone up.

With his hands, he also sped up his movements and quickly assembled the floor fan.

"Come on, Wang Banban, send the floor fan to the prince's study!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will send someone right away."

"Go in person and carry it!"

Let you old boy just laugh at me.

After finally dismissing Zhu Cihong, Zhu Youjian rubbed his forehead and sat on the top chair.

I don't know if it was influenced by him, and I was exposed to too many new things that did not belong to this era.Zhu Cihong, who is only five years old this year, has become a problem baby.I can't go on like this anymore, and I will send him to elementary school next year.

Zhu Youjian shook his head, put the troubles of happiness behind him, and began to deal with the backlog of memorials in the past two days.

The current Daming has a huge territory and looks unprecedentedly powerful, but in fact there are many things to do.

The large-scale disaster is still continuing, and it has been spreading southward.

Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Hebei, Henan, Shandong and other places have experienced varying degrees of drought.In recent years, Zhu Youjian has been asking the Ministry of Industry to build water conservancy projects.Dredge river channels, build irrigation equipment, and drill wells in densely populated areas.Naturally, the effect is there, but in the face of the power of nature, it can only be said that we have tried our best.

Fortunately, in recent years, the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes has been popularized under his strong pressure. In addition, the rate of land acquisition has been slowed down. The most important thing is that Zhu Youjian now has money and For food, the capital flow of the global system is quite huge, and food from Luzon, Taiwan and other places is continuously shipped to the mainland.

Let him have the ability to continue to build infrastructure and build factories everywhere.On the one hand, it can be regarded as labor relief, on the other hand, it can also be regarded as laying a good foundation for the future living environment.

Therefore, the living environment of the common people is much better than before. It is definitely impossible to say that there are no people who starve to death or freeze to death, but it does not mean that the vast majority of people will not be able to survive and take risks to rebel.

Speaking of taxes, Li Zicheng, the head of the State Administration of Taxation, made a very hateful proposal last year.

The core of dividing the land into acres is to only collect taxes according to the field, but Director Li thinks this is unreasonable.So I found His Majesty the Emperor when I returned to Beijing.

The scene at that time was like this:
"Your Majesty, during the process of going to the countryside to collect taxes, I discovered that collecting taxes by the acre of land seems reasonable, but in fact it is not fair."

"Oh? What kind of unfair law? You pay as much tax as you have as much land as you have. Isn't that unfair?"

"Your Majesty, when I visited local areas to check taxes, I found that those who did not pay taxes in the past were often local gentry. These people relied on their fame to steal every acre of fertile land. Just like the famous families in a prefecture in Shandong, their people He was nicknamed "Tingyi County". This means that the land he owns is larger than that of a county.

It seems fair for a person like this to pay taxes per mu, but it just makes him feel a little bit pained.Top one county is still top one county, it won't hurt the root.But the people who should have no land still have no land in their hands. Although they don't pay taxes if they don't have land, they still can't eat.

So I said, this is unfair. "

Although Li Zicheng is the deputy director of the Daming State Taxation Bureau, he is still a peasant class at root, and his short official career has not yet allowed him to fully integrate into the landlord class of Daming.So his thinking is still on the opposite side of the landlord class.He always wanted to scrape something from them, and now it seemed that collecting taxes alone could not satisfy his appetite.

"But the land they own may have been accumulated by three, five, or even ten generations. I can't take back all their land and distribute it to the people, right?"

"That's natural, and I think so too. For this reason, I thought hard and finally came up with a good idea."

"tell me the story."

"If the minister is wrong, His Majesty will make an atonement."

"But it doesn't matter."

“We can implement tiered taxation.”

"Ladder tax?" Zhu Youjian's head immediately buzzed, and he looked at Li Zicheng differently.

This guy couldn't be some book lover who traveled through time, right?
Can you figure out this trick?
Seeing that Zhu Youjian didn't respond, Li Zicheng thought he didn't understand the meaning of stepped taxation, so he continued to explain to him.

"The so-called tiered taxation is based on the number of acres of land owned. For example, Zhang San's family owns five acres of land, and then it is levied according to the ordinary tax amount. But Li's family owns 150 acres of land, so it cannot be levied according to the ordinary tax amount. Yes, it will be raised by to % on the original basis.

Generally speaking, the more land you own, the higher the tax rate you pay. Only in this way can you drive down the price of the land!Only those people who have no land to farm can hope to buy back their fields. "

"What if there are acres of land?"

"At least %!"

"What if it's acres of land?"

"At least sixty percent."

"Li Zicheng."

"Ok?"

"My imperial estate, excluding the tenant farmers, excluding seeds, phone bills and other expenses, calculated from the end of the year, I am afraid that what is grown is not enough for you to pay taxes, right?"

"This" Li Zicheng was confused.

He forgot that this guy in front of him is the biggest landlord in Ming Dynasty!
"Your Majesty calm down, I didn't think carefully."

"I'm not angry at all. If you can think of this idea, you are wholeheartedly seeking the welfare of the people. But it will be very difficult to implement it at this time. Don't leave now. I've called a few cabinet ministers over. You can Share your thoughts with them."

!!!

Li Zicheng was taken aback.

This is to make him bear the blame. Regardless of whether it can be implemented or not, the landlord class in the world will definitely scold him.

It is estimated that the ancestral grave of his family will not be preserved now.

He looked at Zhu Youjian almost beggingly, hoping that he would change his mind, but Zhu Youjian was indifferent, drinking tea and watching the memorial.

Two quarters of an hour later, several ministers from the cabinet came together.

"Your Majesty, the generals and others have been summoned, but what urgent matters need to be discussed?" After the salute, Fan Jingwen saw that Zhu Youjian had no intention of opening his mouth, so he took the lead and asked.

"It's not an urgent matter. Director Li just had an idea that I shared with me. I think it's quite interesting. I want to hear your opinions. Li Qing, please tell them a few words."

Li Zicheng's palms were already sweating from tension.

This is what I said to some top bosses.

"I have met a few pavilion elders. The thing is like this."

"What!? Ladder tax payment?"

Li Zicheng hadn't finished speaking, and several people screamed with their eyes wide open.

They felt that there was no need to finish Li Zicheng's words. After all, as long as it involved taxes, they should be prepared.

It's already been implemented, and it's not cruel enough?What else do you want?
"cough~"

The outsider Zhu Youjian coughed lightly, and the few people realized that they were in some tense, and then spoke in a more relaxed tone.

"May I ask Director Li, how do you explain the stepped tax payment you mentioned?"

"That is, those with more land should collect more, and those with less land should collect less."

"Charge more, how much more?"

"According to Li Qing's intention, it is much more than before. If the land at home exceeds acres, you will have to pay % of the tax." Zhu Youjian couldn't bear to see that Li Zicheng was not getting to the point. He interrupted. "Fan Qing, how much land does your family have?"

"Well, my family doesn't have much land, but it still has seven or eight hundred acres." Fan Jingwen hesitated and told the truth.

"Seven or eight hundred, it's not too much, but according to Li Zicheng's tax ladder, your tax fee will be taxed according to ten taxes and two. But it's a lot."

Fan Jingwen didn't say anything. It stands to reason that if you have any plans, you should let me know beforehand, right?A surprise attack, what should I say?
More or less?
"But I am the one who suffers the most. Calculating my imperial estate, excluding labor and chemical fertilizers, it is like working in vain all year round. But the treasury is indeed more abundant. Can you tell me, is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
