Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

Chapter 146
"The rise and fall, everyone is responsible"

"With great power comes great responsibility!"

The next day, as the Di Bao published the court debate, the debate about the distribution of labor into the mu immediately showed overwhelming support.

"Bullshit responsibility! I don't want to take it!" In Xiangfu County, a crowd of wealthy households gathered, each with embarrassing expressions.

Most of them are wealthy households ranging from [-] to [-] mu. In the past, neither the labor law nor the exemption law had much impact on them. However, once the taxation was released, the taxes they borne rose sharply. Naturally, most of them are dissatisfied.

"There is no official in my family, so the good thing of exempting the tax is naturally not my turn." A wealthy family worried.

"It's true, we can't be exempted from military service, and the taxes of the landless people are transferred to us. In this way, don't we have to bear all the taxes in the world!" A middle-aged rich man said angrily.

"It's just that I can afford this year's tax. If the tax rises in the future, I'm afraid I will go bankrupt." An old man said angrily.

"As soon as the tax is paid for each mu, the tax borne by each mu of land doubles, and the land price directly drops by [-]%. We will suffer heavy losses." The middle-aged rich man said bitterly. For the rich, the land is their most precious thing. Property, especially the land near the capital, is even more expensive.

Once the servitude is paid to the mu, not only do they have to bear a lot of taxes, but they also have to bear the price of the drop in the price of the land, which can be described as a heavy loss.

"The law does not blame the public. Why don't we just ask the government for an explanation? If there is no explanation, I will abandon the land! Why not do it if you can get rid of the tax." The middle-aged rich man encouraged.

"Exactly!"

A group of wealthy households nodded their heads one after another, and immediately went to the Xiangfu county government office to ask for an explanation.

Xiangfu County Government.

The county magistrate of Xiangfu is a member of the old party, looking at the residence newspaper in his hand, he feels dissatisfied.

Spread the labor into the mu!

As an official, he finally managed to save a thousand acres of fertile land. He is the county magistrate of Xiangfu County, and he is a sixth-rank official. He was extremely dissatisfied that six hundred acres of fertile land needed to pay a lot of taxes.

"My lord is not good. The wealthy households in the county are making a fuss. They want the court to give them an explanation. They would rather abandon the wasteland than bear high taxes!" Suddenly, the master ran in with a panicked face and reported the report.

"Really?" Xiangfu county magistrate suddenly asked.

The master nodded in doubt and said: "The wealthy households in the county are making trouble in the yamen. They are all big taxpayers in the county. If they are all abandoned, I am afraid it will damage the achievements of the county magistrate."

The county magistrate of Xiangfu was not worried but happy. He was worried that he would not have the opportunity to attack the stalls and serve his mu, and these wealthy households would give the opportunity to them.

At present, the magistrate of Xiangfu County immediately interviewed these wealthy households, and his tone was extremely tactful, which further fueled the arrogance of these wealthy households.

"Don't worry, I will definitely report your opinions to the imperial court, and I believe that the imperial court will not just sit idly by." Xiangfu county magistrate looked weak, and his heart was already full of joy.

Coincidentally, this happened to all the counties in the capital city of Kaifeng Prefecture. In a short time, the booklets from all counties were handed over to Su Song.

Su Song didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly begged to see Zhao Xu.

"I would like to report to the officials that the wealthy households in various counties are now excited. One is that they are worried that the world's taxes will be borne by them in the future, and that they will not be able to afford the rise in taxes in the future. This is a long-term worry. , Land prices in Gyeonggi have plummeted, and rich households have suffered losses, this is a near-term problem." Inside the Chuigong Hall, Su Song said solemnly
Su Song is a fair person, this time he did not favor or suppress the wealthy households, and truthfully reported the current situation of Kaifeng Mansion one by one.After all, the rich households in Kaifeng really suffered huge losses.

Zhao Xu couldn't help feeling helpless, he only realized how difficult the reform was at this moment. When his father implemented the new law, it could be said that the government and the public opposed it.

Now he thinks that he has launched a perfect tax-paying scheme, but just after it was implemented, there are problems one after another.

Zhang Dun said firmly: "It's just nonsense. It's just a family, occupying hundreds of acres of land. It already has no worries about food and clothing. Now it's just sharing some immunization money. There are many people in a small household, and the burden of exempting money is several times that, so why don't you see him complaining about the abjectly poor households."

Hanlin attendant Wang Di even sneered and said: "In my opinion, these wealthy households must have a lot of desires, and they even blamed the imperial court for the drop in land prices. This year, doctors promoted pesticides and increased food production by [-]%, so why don't they feel grateful? They really think the imperial court is weak. Deceitful!"

For those who dare to resist the new law, the new party's consistent attitude is tough. After all, some people's interests will be damaged if the reform is not enforced. The same is true for wealthy households?
"I suggest that the officials immediately order that anyone who dares to obstruct the new law will be severely punished." Zhang Dun said coldly.

In Zhang Dun's view, the wealthy households are just making trouble for no reason, and the contribution to the mu is not beyond their tolerance.

Thinking back to the time when the public was excited about the new law, they still enforced it, not to mention that only some wealthy households objected, so naturally they would not be polite.

Su Song frowned and said: "The rich family's demands are not unreasonable, and they are the main force bearing the court's taxes. Please think twice."

Seeing Su Song and Zhang Dun quarreling, Zhao Xu couldn't help but frown. One is a reform official whom he trusts, and the other is the person in charge of carrying out the pilot reform. Naturally, he must be cautious.

"Fan Taicheng, you are responsible for the labor and labor. I don't know if you have a good way to deal with this situation." Zhao Xu didn't directly make a decision, but asked Fan Zheng.

Zhang Dun and Wang Di frowned and looked at each other secretly, Zhao Xu seemed to value Fan Zheng too much.

Fan Zhengzheng said: "There is no need for the officials to worry. As long as they find the cause of everything, it will be solved naturally. The rich households in Kaifeng can be suppressed, but in the future, they will need to be implemented throughout the country. Is it impossible for the officials to suppress the rich households in the world one by one? "

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, this was exactly what he was worried about.

"And now Kaifeng Prefecture is not only a pilot project, but also the capital city of the whole world. Once the allocation of labor in Kaifeng Prefecture is properly resolved, the allocation of labor in other prefectures will be just a matter of course, with twice the result with half the effort." Fan Zheng said again.

Su Song agreed: "What Fan Taicheng said is true. Kaifeng Mansion is a pilot project. Since there are problems, they must be properly resolved."

Zhang Dun said with a sneer: "The imperial court wants to levy taxes, and the rich need to reduce taxes. How to solve it properly."

Fan Zheng shook his head and said, "One of the worries of the wealthy households is that taxes will continue to rise in the future, and they will bear more taxes. This is the easiest solution. Dare I ask Zhang Xianggong whether the immunization money in Yuanfeng's eight years is enough for the corvee? .”

Zhang Dun thought for a while and said, "It is indeed enough, and there is a slight surplus."

Fan Zheng clapped his hands and said: "In this case, we will use the eight years of Yuanfeng's immunization money as the standard, and the officials will personally order that the breeding population will never be increased in the future. "

"Breeding people, never adding gifts!"

The entire Chui Gong Palace was shocked, and everyone looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief.
