Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 96 A grain of sand in the times falls on the heads of the Ming people and it is a mountain!

Not the same as in history.

Originally, a considerable part of the Qi Party, Zhejiang Party, and Chu Party took refuge in Wei Zhongxian and formed a powerful Eunuch Party.

However, because of Zhang Haogu's sudden birth.

These people have a new choice.

Anyone can see it.

Now the Son of Heaven reuses Zhang Haogu, and now he wants to implement a new law. Obviously, Zhang Haogu is the main implementer of the reform, so it is obviously much better to rely on Zhang Haogu than to rely on Wei Zhongxian.

Zhang Haogu is at least a scholar and a member of his own family.

And Wei Zhongxian is just a dead eunuch.

There were not a small number of officials who took refuge in Zhang Haogu and thought about giving money to Zhang Haogu every day. However, basically, Zhang Haogu didn't take a tael of silver.

It is easy to give someone a handle to take silver.

Besides, there is no shortage of land in my family. This is not a question of whether I have money or not, but that my family is very rich.

Can't commit.

Zhang Haogu also has his own judgment on those who want to take refuge in him.

Whether you have talent, whether you can use it, let’s not talk about how much you have been greedy before. In the future, the imperial court will give you money to support you, whether you can not be greedy, and whether there is any benefit behind it.

The development of the Ming Dynasty is now deeply intertwined.

Now it's just a waste of money to return to the public and raise money.

Will they continue to support themselves when the rest of the people in the back are in the mu?
After all, this damages his own interests.

Therefore, if you want to become your own party member, you must choose carefully. Zhang Ruitu is very good. Although he has land in his family, he is not particularly rich.

And there is Cui Chengxiu.

It doesn't matter if they are shameless, as long as they can do things, they are worthy of their own reuse.

After handling government affairs, Zhang Haogu went to Yongding County again.

It is mainly a matter of preparing for conscription.

Although the dog emperor still did not agree to divide his fields.

However, preparations still need to be done.

At the very least, I still have to come up with a reasonable plan.

There are a total of 8 people, and the dog emperor's land is at least 80 mu.

An average of ten acres per person.

However, according to the current productivity, it is considered remarkable that one person can cultivate five acres of land.

Zhang Haogu took out another map of the surrounding area and calculated Zhu Youxiao's land in the Gyeonggi area. The land embezzled by the dog emperor must not be wasteland but fertile land.

However, just dividing the fields is definitely not enough.

One is cattle, the other is iron plow, and the other is water conservancy.

Allocate the land, temporarily publicize other means of production, establish a farm cooperative, and let the farm cooperative submit the use fee.

The second is taxes.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the two-tax law since the Tang and Song Dynasties was basically followed.The summer tax collected in summer must be paid in August of that year; the autumn grain collected in autumn must be paid in February of the next year.Generally, taxes are mainly paid in kind. In addition to rice, wheat, etc., money, banknotes, gold, silver, etc. can also be paid.

Later, Zhang Juzheng began to implement the "One Whip Method", the main content of which was to distribute part of the labor to the fields, and combine all kinds of land taxes, corvees, and miscellaneous taxes into one, and all of them were paid in silver.

Then it is necessary to establish a rural cooperative and let the rural cooperative pay taxes uniformly.

However, this tax should not be too high, as it will damage the enthusiasm of farmers.

In fact, strictly speaking, the agricultural tax of Ming Dynasty is really not too high.

During the Han Dynasty, the agricultural tax ranged from one thirty (3.3%) to one fifteen (6.7%); about 10% in Tang Dynasty; 9% in Song Dynasty; 4% in Ming Dynasty; 7% in Qing Dynasty, and 15% in the Republic of China. , must rely on agriculture to subsidize industry, even higher, until the agricultural tax is completely abolished.

However, this is a regular tax.

Another chronic problem in Ming Dynasty was the showdown, that is to say miscellaneous taxes.

This is the most unethical place. Daming has brought the "apportionment" to the extreme.

Apportionment has existed since ancient times, but Daming forced himself to play with it for you.

What is apportionment?It is to collect part of the funds spent on temporary projects in addition to the regular tax.

It may be a military operation, it may be river regulation, it may be some kind of project, it may be some big national celebration, in short, it has to increase taxes.

In theory, the additional distribution is temporary. The most famous distribution is Chongzhen's three salaries. No matter how hard it is for the people, Daming is finally lost.

This addition is temporary.

Theoretically, if the country is safe and sound this year, then the finances will be just enough, or even have a slight surplus.

But it is impossible for the country to be safe and sound every year, so a showdown is inevitable. The question is, how do you know how much it will cost to solve this problem?
Therefore, Daming creatively adopted the method of "eating enough food for free".

Taking Chongzhen as an example, a lot of money has been spent on the three salaries this year, which will be calculated at the end of the year, and then distributed to the guards of the capitals, prefectures and counties of the provinces, and will be sent more next year.

In this way, a group of clever little ghosts will find that the shortfall this year can be made up next year.

However, if Liaodong is not resolved, the peasant uprising is not resolved, and the military training is not practiced, and more troubles occur instead, then what should we do?

Or what if the next year's additional dispatch has not been received, and the court is still in a deficit?
A group of smart people said that this problem is easy to solve if it is not resolved this year, the debt will continue to be owed next year, and the increase in the year after will continue.

If the shortfall still cannot be resolved in the year after, isn't there still a year after?

What if you can't solve it in the next year?
It doesn't matter, Daming's taxes will continue to increase.

Taxes can continue to be added, even hundreds of years after they are received, which is 2022 in the fucking Western calendar.

If the land annexation is a little bit more serious, if this group of bureaucrats is a little bit greedy, while paying taxes to the court, they will take a little more into their own pockets.

Then, for the people of Ming Dynasty, the picture is simply not too beautiful.

It seems that each increase is not much.

However, a grain of sand falling on everyone's head is a mountain.

And then the farmers realize, shit, they can't survive.

According to this collection method, the government will take away the dealers in the field before they are collected.

A considerable number of farmers even took the initiative to hand over their land to the gentry in order to avoid the taxation of the court.

Because although Mr. Huang exploits you, compared with the apportioned taxes, you will find that although Huang Silang wants to take away his big head, at least he seems to be able to eat.

The positive tax should not be too high, but it should not be too low either.

Zhang Haogu pondered for a while.

The tax is set at 15.00%, all miscellaneous taxes are abolished, and the showdown is stopped. In addition, corvees must be paid.

After thinking about it, Zhang Haogu crossed out the money for the corvee.

For large-scale national projects, large-scale corvees need to be paid to train professional workers.

There is not enough money to build water conservancy in the local area, so it needs to be free, and we must learn to mobilize the masses to let them understand that building water conservancy is to make their fields better planted.

In addition, never add

Zhang Haogu temporarily set a rule.

This number is also a reference to the number of the Qing Dynasty.

The official tax in the Qing Dynasty was [-]%. However, in the follow-up, there will be a share of the gentry, and the gentry will pay food and errands. The actual tax is similar to the one set by ourselves.

In fact, the most embarrassing thing is that the Qing Dynasty also collected Liao's salary.

He collected Liao's salary and went to beat Li Dingguo.

The tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty was much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty or even any dynasty in history, so there was a steady stream of support for the expansion of the frontier.

Kangxi had the confidence to say that he would never increase the tax because the regular tax was already very high.

If this positive tax is really as low as Dameng, see if it can give you never more tax.

It can be said that Daqing tried his best to avoid all the thunder that Daming could avoid.

Although Zhang Haogu didn't like the Qing Dynasty, he didn't mind taking some of the Qing Dynasty's excellent political systems.

"master!"

Just as Zhang Haogu stopped the pen in his hand, Zhu Youxiao got in.

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"I was a bit bored staying in the palace, I have nothing to do, so I came here!!"

Zhu Youxiao had some concerns, and was obviously still hesitating whether to give up his Huangzhuang. When he met Zhang Haogu and asked, he was a little cautious.

One side does not want to divide, but the other side also understands that no division will be able to feed more and more people.

Zhang Haogu smiled, did not mention the matter of land distribution, just smiled and said: "Your Majesty, shall we go out for a walk?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "OK!"
