The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 527 Hoe (two more)
"Uh...that will leave you with a bad reputation. They have the pen in their hands, and they can write black as white." Shen Zhou pursed his lips and looked at Qi Yaoyao.

"Hehe... This must have a strong soul, not afraid of the infatuation behind you, even if you die, you have no regrets! But history and time will eventually give a fair evaluation." Qi Yaoyao's deep black eyes looked at him and said, "The right way in the world is vicissitudes!"

Qi Yaoyao rubbed her forefinger against the tip of her nose and said, "Why do you have to kill! It's not good to kill too much, it's not good! These literati all claim to be cultivating and studying heirlooms, so help them get back to their original aspirations!"

Shen Zhouheng heard the words and raised his eyebrows lightly, looking at her and said, "You won't let them be like peasants, carrying hoes, facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky."

"That's right! Experience who knows how hard it is to eat Chinese food on a plate." Qi Yaoyao raised her lips and smiled slightly, "I won't hit you, I won't kill you, I will teach you with a special hoe." He said with a chuckle, " Help you train your muscles and bones, transform your mind, be benevolent and righteous! Be a benevolent ruler!"

Qi Yaoyao said again with a smile, "The most important thing is to choose the lesser of two evils!" She rolled her eyes gracefully and said, "They are all afraid of death, it is better to die than live."

Shen Zhou clenched his fists and coughed twice, he really didn't know what to say.

"What? Am I wrong?" Qi Yaoyao's dark pupils looked at him and said.

"Yes, yes!" Shen Zhou's bright amber eyes looked at her and said, "There is only so much land in this land, and the yield per mu is only four or five hundred catties. Since the world is prosperous, we must let these Landlords and old wealthy find more profitable deals.”

"Open source!" Qi Yaoyao looked at him with a smile on her face when she heard this, "Don't worry about what happens in the future? Raising pigs is a good choice."

"Haha..." Shen Zhouheng shook his head and laughed when he heard the words, "If you raise it too much, it won't be worth much."

"Just now in this market, how much is digested." Qi Yaoyao snorted, "Don't be jealous of me, I want to eat braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs."

Shen Zhouheng looked at her like a greedy cat and said, "I'll be patient, there are more than five months left."

"Aren't you greedy?" Qi Yaoyao's bright black eyes looked at him and said.

"I haven't eaten so much meat before, so I only get a meaty smell during the festival." Shen Zhou said as he looked at her with his warm eyes.

"It's so miserable!" Qi Yaoyao looked at him in surprise and said.

"It's not so miserable. The house is next to the river, so there are many opportunities to eat fish." Shen Zhou said with a smile.

"What do you think the core of this reform is for?" Qi Yaoyao looked at him with pure eyes and said.

"Of course it's for taxation, grain and silver!" Shen Zhou said without thinking, "Whether it's a country, a family or a family, they all need money. Without money, it's impossible to walk, and without food, you can't do anything, you're hungry. It's painful, and sometimes food is more important than silver."

"Of course, in the days of Chengping, silver was exchanged for daily necessities, but in troubled times, it was a barter. Food is more expensive than silver and gold, and you may not be able to buy food if you have money." Qi Yaoyao raised her index finger with deep, clear eyes. Looking at him, he said, "In the final analysis, the core of the reform is four words: nuclear fields return tax!"

Hearing this, Shen Zhouheng pondered for a moment and said, "At the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, the general tax was the head tax, not the field tax. At the beginning of the dynasty, there were more land than people. The imperial court encouraged wasteland cultivation in order to restore it as soon as possible. production, and even tax relief.”

"That's right! You levy tax on the land! Scare everyone away. Who is still farming!" Qi Yaoyao looked at him lightly and said, "And it's easy to check the number of people, but the land registration is much more difficult. already."

This household registration system was perfect in all dynasties.

"This field is not square, it has various shapes, and it is very troublesome to measure." Qi Yaoyao smacked her lips and said, "This fertile field is different from a barren field, this paddy field and dry land are not It’s the same. It’s not the same for those who grow wheat and those who grow rice.”

"It takes someone who knows how to do it." Shen Zhouheng stroked his forehead and said, "Sure enough, measuring the land is not as easy as talking about it."

"The commoner people don't know how many characters. The old man said a few acres, just a few acres. It's too easy to make a fuss here." Qi Yaoyao looked at him with cold eyes and said, "Go back to Taxation, when the central government does not have strong control over the localities, it is difficult to collect land taxes, and the national treasury mainly relies on poll tax and labor, all of which fall on the common people.

The common people are mainly responsible for the small labor and the miscellaneous factions, that is, to work and contribute, participate in the civil engineering of the government, build water conservancy, palaces, etc., but the government does not give wages, and the people have to provide their own rations. "

"Everyone followed me to the canal mainly for stuttering, to save food for the family, and to have an extra chance to survive." Shen Zhouheng said with affection.

"When it comes to corvée and military service, we have to say that the system of smuggling reduces the property of the common people, while the landlords, officials and gentry do not pay taxes. If things go on like this, the gap between the rich and the poor will widen." Qi Yaoyao is like a deep pool. His eyes looked at him and said.

When Shen Zhouheng heard the words, his face was gloomy like a waterway, "I was sent to do corvée and military service, and the family lost one strong laborer, although one ration was lost, but there were fewer people working. It's going to cost money."

"Mmmm!" Qi Yaoyao's bright eyes looked at him and said, "In the disaster year, in order to survive, people either sell their land, or sell their children and daughters, or mortgage the land to borrow money from the landlord, and eventually lose their land, and the end result is both. It is the land that is more and more concentrated to the landlords.

Once there is a problem with taxation in the imperial court, it is impossible to increase taxes on the gentlemen.We can only increase taxes on the poor, knowing that this is drinking poison to quench thirst, but there is nothing we can do.

When the poor are overwhelmed, conflicts will erupt, and history will enter a cycle of land annexation and peasant uprisings.Therefore, the master of ZTE in history will implement reforms at a critical juncture. He also wants to be stable and his wife is mediocre, but reality does not allow it.Every now and then there is a natural disaster, there is a flood here, where is the drought, you can't save it, if you want to save it, you can see that the national treasury is empty, and foreign enemies are eyeing it, and you can't even think about it.The so-called reform is to gradually change the poll tax and labor tax into land tax and property tax.

If it has been changed, the dynasty will be revived; if it has not been changed, or not changed, the dynasty will perish.

Shang Yang succeeded, and Qin came out of the six kingdoms and ruled the world; Wang Anshi did not succeed, the Northern Song Dynasty perished, and the Southern Song Dynasty was left alone.

In essence, it does not touch the root of the disease, no matter how it changes, it is life extension, not medicine to cure the disease. "

Said that Shen Zhouheng was relieved and relieved, "I still think about things too easily."
