Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

"Zengsheng" is also a scholar, but the Ming court no longer distributes food.

As for the "affiliated students", they are the attached students who have just entered school, and they are not as good as Linsheng and Zengsheng.

But in Daming, just a scholar began to enjoy the benefits of exempting [-] mu from corvee and tax.

How much grain can [-] mu of land produce?And don't pay taxes.

If a scholar is a poor man, suddenly he flies to the branch and becomes a scholar, so there is no land at home, it doesn't matter, someone will give it to him when the time comes.

When encountering natural disasters and increasing taxes from the imperial court, many farmers would not be able to pay taxes due to poor harvests, so they would give their fields to scholars or candidates, and live in their names, which is the so-called contribution.

And the purpose is also very simple, because as long as they donate to the name of Master Xiucai or Master Juren, from now on, they don't need to pay taxes anymore, they only need to pay some to Master Xiucai or Master Juren.

In other words, as a scholar, at least he can enjoy the benefits of [-] acres of land.

This is the benefit enjoyed by this scholar who is a real poor scholar, has no personal connections, and has not concealed or underreported.

If you have some connections and get to know more officials and lords, it is normal for two hundred acres to become eighty acres.

Moreover, after becoming a scholar, this is the class of "scholars", and from then on they have fame and fame, and the first benefit they enjoy is not kneeling when they see officials.

And the invisible benefit is that even if a scholar commits a crime, the county magistrate can't directly shout: "Severely beat this county!"

Because if you want to punish a scholar, at least you have to mention the academic officials frequently, that is, Xuezheng.

Secondly, if you are selected as a scholar, people will respectfully call you Mr. Xiucai. In an ordinary county, a scholar is basically a celebrity and can be mixed with a squire.

Even if there is no successful candidate in the future, at least this scholar has a certain reputation in the local area, at least he can be a gentleman in the local area, or go to the yamen to be a petty official.

So the so-called poor scholars are really poor?

There are tens of thousands of 10,000+ writers who make a living on code words in the training base for traversers of later generations, and none of them can live as nourishingly as the talented gentlemen.

However, what is even more frightening now is that this kind of talented men will soon appear in large numbers. After a few years at most, it is estimated that hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of talented men will appear.

At that time, the whole Ming Dynasty will be dedicated to them!

So Emperor Chongzhen didn't worry about the land, he just went to grab it if there was nothing left, and when he really got the whole world back and it wasn't enough, he either set his sights on the stars and the sea, or he had better prenatal and postnatal care.

Anyway, Emperor Chongzhen didn't have to worry about this matter during his lifetime, or even his son and grandson's lifetime.

Even if the common people can live again, is there not enough land in the world?

What's more, those guys headed by Chen Zuqi in the Royal Academy are thinking about grain seeds every day. What if these guys come up with high-yielding hybrid rice?

After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Each scholar can be tax-free for [-] acres, and now there are nearly two million social school children. Even if there is one scholar out of a hundred, there will be more than ten thousand new ones every year." Scholar.

If everyone exempts [-] mu, how much can I collect from Daming's tax? "

Wen Tiren and Meng Shaoyu also started to have a headache.

What Emperor Chongzhen said is true.

Originally, sociology was almost abandoned, so although there were many scholars, it would not be the case that more than ten thousand people were added every year.

But now that sociology has been revived by Emperor Chongzhen, and it was launched under the euphemistic name of ancestral system, which is a headache.

At the very least, it is very likely that there will be more than [-] scholars every year.

Seeing Wen Tiren and Meng Shaoyu's headaches, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help laughing secretly.

In fact, it is very simple to solve this problem, just increase the difficulty of the exam.

Just like the college entrance examinations in later generations, the difficulty of the questions has increased. Isn't the number of people admitted to universities artificially controlled?

But Wen Tiren and Meng Shaoyu's thinking was limited. They didn't think about increasing the difficulty of the exam at all, but thought about how to solve this problem.

In fact, Wen Tiren and Meng Shaoyu were not to be blamed, because if it was said that the difficulty of the exam was artificially increased to achieve the purpose of washing the sand with waves, at least there was a problem in front of them.

Will candidates be willing?

How difficult was the exam before?What is the difficulty like now?

It doesn't matter if you are new to the exam, but don't forget that there are still a large number of children who failed the exam before and will take the exam again.

After these people have gone through an exam, they probably have a general understanding of the difficulty level between the two exams.

Dissatisfaction is certain.

This kind of emotion spreads to the new candidates, and the final result is likely to be chaos.

Then what?Killed all?

Or is there another north-south list?

The problem is that the north and south list is created to solve the difference in writing style between the north and the south. What about the difference in difficulty between the old and the new?

Isn't it bullshit to make a new and old list?

Emperor Chongzhen saw that the two were still thinking about how to solve this problem, so he didn't make a sound to disturb him immediately, so he let them think about it quietly.

After a while, Wen Tiren simply bowed and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, what if you directly change the [-] mu taxable land to [-] mu?"

Wen Tiren felt that he made a good point in making this suggestion.

At least one person saves 1 mu, and [-] people save [-] mu. What about [-] people?

There are a full [-] mu.

Thirty thousand mu is saved every year, which is a considerable figure.

But Emperor Chongzhen obviously didn't think so.

How many years can this fucking last?At that time, won't I still not be able to collect a penny of taxes?

It's okay if the tax is gone, but the tax is gone, why don't old people like Guo Yunhou come to cry with me and ask me for money?

The problem is, there will be natural disasters every year in the next few decades, and the Royal Academy will ask for money in various ways, as well as money to pay for the soldiers who died in battle.

Since there is a solution to the root cause, I don't care about reciting more infamy.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply said: "Wen Aiqing's proposal is good, but it can only be solved for a while, but it can't be solved for a lifetime. With the increase of the number of students, the land exempted from taxation is also increasing.

In the end, it was only at night that the taxes could not be collected.What I mean is to solve this problem once and for all. "

It is very simple to solve this problem once and for all, just remove the tax-free fields.

As for the future scholar masters, they have the privilege of not kneeling before seeing officials, and it is almost enough to be respected as master masters wherever they go.
