Han Dao world

Yang Xiu bowed again, and immediately expressed his opinion.

Although Liangzhou is a large place, there is too little arable land, and there are even fewer households that can support them.When Liangzhou had the largest number of households, there were no more than [-] households, which is just an ordinary county in the interior.Even if Qianghu is now naturalized and his household registration has increased, it is impossible to compare with the great counties of the Central Plains.

Hanyang is considered the largest county in Liangzhou, with a household registration of less than [-], which is the level of a large county in the interior.

Therefore, it is unfair for Liangzhou to compare the total tax revenue with other states.

Furthermore, Liangzhou has little arable land and many pastures, so it is doomed to have limited grain production and focus on animal husbandry.However, the best pastures in Liangzhou were requisitioned by the imperial court and used as pastures to raise war horses. Most of the horses, cattle and sheep produced by other pastures were also supplied to the inland, especially horses, which assumed most of the horses used by inland counties and post offices. .The price of these horses is controlled by the imperial court, which is far below the market price. It is Liangzhou's support for the imperial court. The imperial court cannot turn a blind eye and blame Liangzhou for its poor development.

Just imagine, what kind of situation would it be if the best cultivated land in the interior was taken back to the imperial court?
Will their stats still look that good?

As soon as this remark came out, many people shivered and looked at each other in blank dismay.

What does Yang Xiu mean by this? Is it for the emperor to further save the field?

How many people will go bankrupt if the best cultivated land is taken back to the imperial court?
Yang Biao frowned, looking displeased.

If it wasn't for the court, he would really like to give Yang Xiu a big slap in the face.

You bastard, you dare to say anything.Saying this, how many people do you know who can't sleep well?If there is a civil uprising, it will be a big trouble.

After Yang Xiu finished speaking, he made a final point: while comparing the total amount of taxes, the fact that Liangzhou has insufficient registered permanent residence should be considered. It is suggested to compare the per capita tax contribution.

As soon as this remark came out, Liu Xie's cheeks twitched and he almost laughed out loud.

As expected of Yang Xiu, he not only grasped the vital points, but also grasped the pain points of others.

If the inland counties are not dragged into the water, no one cares whether Liangzhou has suffered injustice.

If the per capita contribution is not mentioned, no one cares about the fact that Liangzhou has too few household registrations.

Liangzhou has few household registrations and less arable land. In terms of total contribution, Liangzhou will never be better than the mainland.But compared to the average per capita, Liangzhou can beat the mainland by a large margin.Even Nanyang cannot be compared with Hanyang.

There are more than [-] households in Nanyang, which is seventeen or eight times that of Hanyang, but the total tax revenue of Nanyang is not seventeen or eighteen times that of Hanyang.

This is still under the condition that the price of horses is controlled. If the price control of horses is released, Hanyang's total tax revenue will easily double.

In this era, industry was still in its infancy, and animal husbandry beat agriculture in terms of per capita output value.

Even in the industrially advanced [-]st century, the income of herdsmen with pastures exceeds that of most working families.

Compared with the average per capita, Liangzhou has obvious advantages, enough for anyone not to underestimate it.

Liu Xie looked at Yang Biao.

Yang Biao pondered for a moment. "What the prefect said is reasonable, but the prosperity and decline of a country depends on the total amount after all. Of course, your opinion has some merits. In the future, when the imperial court evaluates officials, it should really consider the per capita tax and tax, not just the total amount. "...

Yang Xiu didn't insist any more, bowed and retreated.

After all, today is the year-end summary, not the time to formally launch an attack on Situ Mansion.Now that Yang Biao admitted that the Situ Mansion's evaluation standards for officials were insufficient, his goal was achieved, and there was no need to fight to get red-faced and spoil everyone's interest.

Yang Biao turned around and asked Chang Shi Zhang Song to record the matter for later study, and then brought up Bohai County.

Chen Qun, a planner in Bohai Sea, came out and accepted criticism.

Yang Biao focused on one thing that criticized Bohai. Bohai's household registration is increasing, but taxes are decreasing.

This is a rare situation, and it can even be said to be unique.

Maybe it was because of the conversation with Xun Yu before, Chen Qun's mentality was much calmer when he had a way out.He patiently explained the reason why the Bohai household registration has increased but the tax has decreased.Because too many Bohai household registrations have moved out, in order to attract foreigners to naturalize, the prefect has a policy of providing money and food for new household registrations.Those reduced taxes are used to resettle new household registrations.

After Chen Qun explained, Yang Biao didn't ask any more questions.

After Situ Mansion finished reporting, Sikong Mansion continued to report.

For the Sikong Mansion, the biggest thing this year is to deal with the return of criminals who were exiled overseas.

After introducing the general situation, Sikong Zhouzhong attacked Bohai County again.

Although Bohai was authorized by the Son of Heaven, it was not allowed to implement Dutian together with other prefectures and states, but the judiciary was still controlled by the imperial court.Criminals who were exiled abroad fled back, and those who took them in committed the same crime. Bohai counties and counties are mostly gentlemen who know the book and etiquette. Why do they commit crimes knowingly?

Chen Qun got up again to plead guilty.

Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt ashamed and became more determined to leave Bohai.If he didn't leave Bohai, this kind of humiliation would fall on him in the future.

It is a beautiful job to plan, but only in Bohai Sea, this is a difficult task that everyone can't avoid.

They are all a group of scholars who want face, and they gather together to build the ideal kingly way. How come they become a backward model that everyone despises, and they are dragging their feet every year?
After Sangong finished his report, Liu Xie said a few words.

The general idea is that this year's achievements are not small, but the difficulties are also great. I hope that the monarchs and ministers will work together to build a better future together.

Among them, he focused on Situ and Sikong.

The Situ Mansion works well, and the tax has increased significantly in recent years, but the management method is still relatively old, with more inheritance than innovation, and it can't keep up with the development of the situation.The situation mentioned by the prefect of Hanyang Yang Xiu just now is an example. The Situ Mansion should have been prepared long ago and shouldn't wait for Yang Xiu to raise it.

With the development of industry and commerce, many problems will arise in the future.Some problems have been encountered before, but have not been solved well, such as how to solve the problem of excessive extraction of agricultural population by commerce, and the increase in wealth of merchants, and then purchase land, resulting in the problem of land annexation; there are also problems that have not been encountered before, such as The industrial and commercial tax has risen sharply. How to adjust the tax rate, increase management capabilities, and how to coordinate the imbalance between different industries and different regions.

These problems all required the Situ Mansion to come up with a plan and prepare a plan.

For Sikong Mansion, Liu Xie has higher requirements.

It can be seen from the case of escape and return that there are still many officials in the Sikong Mansion who are used to the old things of being sentenced to prison based on age, interpreting the law at will, not following the law, or even misinterpreting the law and perverting it privately.This kind of person should be severely punished, this kind of thing should be put an end to, and the Spring and Autumn Period is not advisable. The benevolence advocated by Confucianism should be reflected in the legislative stage, not the law enforcement stage.

Human nature can be respected in law enforcement, but the law cannot be ignored.If everyone can interpret the law according to their own needs, what is the point of the law?
In the next step, the Sikong Mansion should solve this problem ideologically, sort out the current laws, eliminate the unreasonable elements, and formulate a new law suitable for the new situation, which can truly benefit the people and be conducive to development.

Sikong Zhou Zhong blushed and prostrated himself on the ground to plead guilty.

He is a typical example of the conservative forces that the emperor severely criticized.
