Chapter 206 Huge Ticket
Zhu Yihai's settlement with these officials and gentry in Yanzhou Mansion is not directly attacking local tyrants, after all, he is facing a whole group of scholars.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yihai is now in the position of prison supervisor. If he dares to mess with the whole group, then he will not be able to hold his position securely, and he must learn from others.

Still according to the general version of the Jiajing Dynasty's final preferential rules and regulations, this is also the basis for standing, and then use this to attack these scholars.

Those who should be exempted are exempted, but the excess must be paid, and even 20 years of supplementary payment must be made.

The deficits and arrears of the local government have to be made up by the officials who have been in office for the past 20 years.

But Zhu Yihait added one, that is, there is an exemption from supplementary taxation, and there is no taxation for every [-] mu or less.

If there is only one strong man in a family and the land is less than ten mu, it is completely exempt from taxation.

If it exceeds [-] mu, only the excess part will be paid. If it is [-] dong, [-] mu will be exempted.

With this amount, the vast majority of people, especially the poor, can be included in the scope of exemption from supplementary payment, so that the people will not be labored and harmed.

Fang Fengnian is a bachelor, and his title is first-rank, so there is a thousand-acre field of [-] stone grains, and [-] dings are exempted from the corvee. Zhu Yihai will not move these treatments. It doesn't matter if you collect the thousand acres of land or the thirty units.

Zhu Yihai only cares about what is beyond the quota, and you will be exempted from [-] stone grains a year, but you must make up for land beyond [-] mu, and [-] dong will be exempted, but you still have to take such labor as lijia and miscellaneous. or silver.

As for the officials in those counties, according to the rules, only miscellaneous officials and pawns who are called exiles are eligible to be exempted. Yes, so you have to make up for it.

As for the issue of donating and sending names, this is a loophole, not a direct tax evasion, so let them turn themselves in and clean up. If they take the initiative to deal with it and complete it within the deadline, then the past will be forgotten.If you don't take the initiative to deal with it, you will be dealt with severely if you find out in the future.

Fang Kezhi knew that he was the target of everyone's criticism and they were all staring at him, and he also knew that his backing had fallen, so he could only actively liquidate it.

How many fields are there under the name, how many people are in the family, how much is overpaid, how much is owed over the years, and even the fields under the name, which were originally military farmland, official farmland, etc., all have to be liquidated this time.

This is a lot of money, but Fang Kezhi knew that he had no choice.

In the past, there were a large number of landowners under his name, but he hadn't paid any money or food. Now it's no longer possible, and the knife has been stuck to his neck.

Zhu Yihai thinks there are many unreasonable things about the Jiajing Dynasty’s preferential and exemption regulations, but he also knows that these people are bureaucrats after all, and it is impossible not to give them any privileges, but such privileges cannot be abused, otherwise it will be the same as today. Hollowed out the whole country.

They must be supervised strictly in accordance with the preferential quota, and they must not be allowed to exceed the quota at will, let alone allow them to evade and resist taxes.

Now Zhu Yihai not only asks them to pay back, but also fines, fines plus late fees, they haven't heard of late fees, so they just change the name to a simple name, interest.

After Fang Kezhi sincerely expressed his willingness to pay up and accept the punishment, he received the fine issued by Zhu Yihai as he wished.

Yanzhou government collects taxes according to the one whip method. In addition to land taxes, there are three items of uniform corvee silver, lijia silver, and miscellaneous pan silver.

The land tax is converted into silver per mu, and the main supply silver is three cents six cents and three cents, and the miscellaneous silver is one cent seven cents and seven cents, and the total silver is five cents and four cents.

In addition, the part collected by Ding is one coin per Ding.

In addition, the fire consumption is [-]%.

The land tax standard in Zhejiang is above the middle level. In the past, the average land tax per mu was about five liters, which was lower than the land tax in Susong area. Before a whip, the national average level was about three liters per mu, and Zhejiang’s five liters was not high.

After one whip, all kinds of corvees were combined into one, part of which was added to the field, and part was distributed according to Ding. The land tax was greatly increased, and Ding's silver was reduced a lot.

Yanzhou expropriates five cents of silver for one mu, five taels for a hundred mu, and two or three hundred shi for a hundred mu of real estate grain. The current grain is more than two taels per stone, and in the good years since Chongzhen, it is about one tael. The price of rice per stone It is slightly lower, but six or seven coins are required. Calculated in this way, the grain harvested per mu can be converted into about two taels of silver, and the silver collected is five and four cents, which is less than thirty tax one.

Calculated according to the four or five yuan per stone grain in the Wanli year, the actual tax rate at that time was set at about twenty tax one.

So in the first ten years after a whip, the burden on the people has indeed been lightened.

But in the apocalypse Chongzhen, all kinds of miscellaneous labor apportionments that were originally merged into one made a comeback. With the addition of three salaries, official corruption, etc., the burden on the people was even heavier.

Zhu Yihai is now asking the rich and powerful to pay back the tax at the rate of Wanli's long whip, and directly pay the tax of [-], that is, one bucket per mu, but he does not need to pay the real value of the silver, and directly pays the grain.

Ding silver is still a dime a dollar.

The additional fire consumption is [-]%, [-] liter and [-] silver per mu, and [-] cent and [-] silver per person.

Fang Kezhi has more than 1 mu of land under his name, many of which were donated for treachery, etc., but Zhu Yihai didn't care, and the excess amount was calculated as [-] mu.

If the silver is levied, the mu levy is five cents and four cents, and the addition is a total of six cents, four cents and eight cents, which is 777.6 taels of silver a year.

Zhu Yihai asked for grain, which was 1344 shi a year.

A year is not much.

But if it has been recovered for 20 years, it will be 26880 shi. Now the grain is more than 5 taels of silver per shi, which is more than [-] taels.

And if the silver is only more than 700 taels a year, and only more than 20 taels in 5000 years, the difference here is several times.

A dime of silver is negligible, a dime is more than a penny a year, a hundred dice is only a dozen taels a year, and 20 years is only two hundred taels.

At Zhu Yihai's request, he can directly pay 26880 stone grains, which is more than 100 taels of silver, and then impose a fine of seven grains, plus [-]% penalty interest, which is actually double the penalty.

A total of 53760 shi grains, more than 500 taels of silver.

Facing this exorbitant price of chasing a fine, Fang Ke felt the blood vessels in his forehead throbbing, and then his vision went dark, and he passed out.

After being woken up by everyone, Fang Ke couldn't help crying, "After the Wanli Dynasty, the preferential exemption rules for scholars have been increased tenfold. First-rank Beijing officials can be exempted from 350 mu of land, and non-official Jinshi can be exempted from [-] mu. Unofficials can exempt [-] acres, and [-] acres for students..."

Zhu Yihai sneered twice, "What you are talking about is the rules set by Susong, Changzhen, Jiangnan in the early years of Wanli, not the imperial court. In the 38th year of Wanli, Governor Yingtian had already dealt with this matter and abolished it. Afterwards, the prefectures and counties in various counties, even though they secretly colluded with each other and deceived the top and bottom regarding the preferential exemption of money and food for the scholars, how can it be black and white?"

Fang Kezhi cried again, "Although there are more than 20 fields under the student's name, many of them were added in recent years. It is really unreasonable to pay up for [-] years."

"Are you reasonable with Gu?"

"You have disregarded the laws of the country and evaded taxes all these years. If you were placed in the Hongwu period, you would have peeled the skins and grasses and put them on display in the yamen. Fine a little money and food to let you learn a lesson, and you tell Gukui that it is unreasonable?"

"You can say it too!"

"Your Highness, the students really can't come up with so much money and food."

Zhu Yihai showed no sympathy, "No money? Then how did you get this 5 mu of land? If you don't have money, you can sell the land. One mu of land can be sold for four or five, or even more than ten taels of silver. Ten thousand mu of land is at least four. Ten thousand taels of silver."

Fang Kezhi said helplessly, "Most of those lands are not owned by the students, they are just under the students' names, and the students can't sell them even if they want to."

"In your name, why isn't it your land? When you paid the tax, you said it was your land, and now you say it's not? If you don't have money, you can't make up for it? Then I will give you a convenience, and you can directly convert the land into silver. , One mu of land is worth ten taels of silver, or five stones of grain."

"If you have 5 mu of land, you will get 6000 shi, deduct the 2000 shi grain you should have paid, and return you more than [-] shi grain, or more than [-] taels of silver!"

When Fang Kezhi heard this, he passed out from crying again!

Take away more than 2000 mu of land, and find more than one or two thousand taels of silver?Doesn't this mean that one mu of land is sold for one tael of silver?This is not to kill him.
