Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 755 Concussion
The reform is destined to be a bloody road. There is no dispute about this. From the moment Emperor Chongzhen decided to raise the banner, the situation of the struggle changed.

The government and the opposition are boiling.

For most officials, they don't want too many changes, especially the new law, once it really takes root, it will cause immeasurable losses.

This is something no one can bear.

"Xu Qing, Bi Qing, since I set the banner of the reform, there is a lot of controversy between the government and the opposition." Emperor Chongzhen smiled, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, looked at Xu Guangqi, Bi Ziyan and the others, "I heard that your cabinet is full of quarrels. It seems that many people still have a lot of luck in my determination to carry out the new policy."

"Your Majesty's implementation of the New Deal to reform the bad government and chronic illnesses is a blessing to the community and a blessing to Ming Dynasty."

Xu Guangqi stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and said, "However, the implementation of the New Deal involves many aspects, and it requires enough patience to promote it effectively.

The point of controversy among many people lies in what the new policy is trying to do.

For example, things such as dividing the households into the mu, the integration of officials and gentry, the integration of food and errands, and the rectification of the salt administration, etc., although corresponding results have been achieved in various places, there is still a lot of involvement in the current tax and labor system.

If these aspects involved cannot be effectively resolved, then even if the above-mentioned new policies can be implemented, new loopholes will inevitably form. "

Bi Ziyan followed closely and said: "The reform of the new policy is not a trivial matter, and the most taboo thing is to accomplish it overnight. I can understand your majesty's mood and want to revive Daming as soon as possible.

tax sharing system? !

If you rush to reform the tax-sharing system without any preparation, it may bring immeasurable disasters to Ming Dynasty. "

"My minister agrees."

After all, this is an attack on privileged groups. For groups with vested interests, it is unacceptable in any case. It must be exploited, squeezed, and sought out by the bottom groups.

When Xu Guangqi and Bi Ziyan heard this, they didn't know what to say for a moment. How could such an important matter be explained clearly in a few words.

If this kind of situation really happens, it is not impossible for the Great Ming Dynasty to be overthrown, so what I want to say is to clarify the plan for the tax sharing system as soon as possible. "

Every tax adjustment and change will cause a lot of controversy, which is not a good situation for the court.

The tax-sharing system I propose is not something that will be implemented immediately. It requires various arrangements to be prepared in the early stage, and the court and the Central Committee will form a draft resolution.

In addition to what Yuanfu said, the fields and industries involved, including business taxes, tariffs, taxation and other matters, have been intricate so far. "

"My minister agrees."

Newly established government offices such as the Military Aircraft Department, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Disaster Relief Administration can check for omissions to a certain extent, but they cannot discard the basics.

The land tax, corvee, and other miscellaneous levies of all prefectures and counties were consolidated into one, and the silver taels were collected together, converted and paid by mu, which greatly simplified the tax system and facilitated tax collection.At the same time, it makes it difficult for local officials to cheat, thereby increasing fiscal revenue.

However, Sun Chuanting's experiment in Henan Province and Chen Qiyu's experiment in Shaanxi Province, where officials and gentry pay food and errands together, in a sense, is to further improve a whipping method. The fiscal revenue of the treasury will show a positive upward trend.

Listening to what Xu Guangqi and Bi Ziyan said, Emperor Chongzhen felt emotional. The reason why he chose this node was to show the banner of reform to the court.

But this is also the reason why there are so many objections.

Xu Guangqi followed closely behind.

In a sense, the team he built alone cannot cover the entire Ming Dynasty better. After all, the official system inherited by the Ming Dynasty is the real ruling body.

It's just that the system is not without loopholes. For example, tax evasion and even tax evasion by privileged groups are difficult to curb.

After all, if one is not careful, the tax and service system of Daming will be destroyed. Once this happens, civil strife is inevitable.

"What the two gentlemen said is exactly what I am worried about."

Once caught in this situation, the Ming Dynasty's reformation will gradually move closer to the deformed system, and more problems will arise from this.

"Hehe~"

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were firm and he said: "Except for the two items of tax and population tax, the tax and service system of the country also involves tax categories such as commercial tax, mining tax, taxation tax, customs duty, and salt tax.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and waved his hands, "You two have misunderstood what I mean, of course I know what the adjustment of the tax and service system means to the country.

If you really decide to do this, you must make corresponding preparations in advance, especially at the local level. Why define financial rights and administrative powers is the key.

But Emperor Chongzhen saw further.

"The tax-sharing system is to better clarify the court and localities, and it involves adjustments in taxation, which will involve the definition of administrative power and financial power."

But there are some things that cannot be changed in the short term.

Bi Ziyan tried to calm his mind, thought for a while, bowed and saluted and said, "The tax sharing system you mentioned involves too many levels, not to mention that what you said is just a superficial thing.

Reform is difficult.

However, with the passage of time, Daming's tax and service system is gradually leaning towards a whip method, and is gradually accepted by the localities.

This……

If this matter cannot be effectively resolved, then as time goes by, the state will become more and more chaotic, and the problems that will arise will only become more serious.

"His Majesty……"

Since many people oppose it, or say that the court and the people are pursuing profit, why can't we change our thinking and distribute these pressures, the court should bear what the court should bear, and the local government should bear what the local government should bear. "

Xu Guangqi and Bi Ziyan looked at each other with surprised expressions. They never expected that the emperor summoned them this time to discuss such an important matter.

Starting from the trial of a whip method, although it is said that Zhang Juzheng's new deal reform has been criticized and questioned a lot, and even bad things have happened.

Emperor Chongzhen lifted up the sleeves of his robe, frowned and said, "If we want the reform to be implemented effectively, there must be a complete adjustment and revision of the tax and labor system.

When these matters are ready, we will first find a place to conduct a trial operation, what problems will arise during the period, and how to solve these problems.

Only when these things are done well, can the expansion be carried out gradually. Bi Qing, you are the treasurer of my Ming Dynasty. Would you like to share my worries for such a big matter? "

"I am willing."

Bi Ziyan stepped forward and bowed.
