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

Chapter 147

"No! Absolutely not! Taxation is the foundation of the world. Yongfeng's eight-year immunization money is enough now, but it may not be enough in the future. If the money is urgently needed in the future and there is no way to increase the tax, what should I do?"

Zhang Dun scolded angrily. In his opinion, never adding a gift is simply a joke.

"My current predicament in the Song Dynasty stems from the ancestral system. Now that the officials say that they will never add gifts, it will definitely leave endless disasters for future emperors." Wang Di also strongly objected.

Fan Zheng was not angry, because what the two said was unreasonable, and Kangxi's never adding a gift was empty talk after all.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "It is indeed unrealistic to never increase the tax, but it is the best way to solve the current predicament. If you want the rich to pay taxes with peace of mind, then you need to give them a reassurance. It is better to change it to the government. During the reign, no tax will be added, so that the hearts of the people can be reassured, and the ancestral system will not be formed to endanger the country."

"During my reign, I will never add any gifts?" Zhao Xu asked with a heartbeat.

"Only the immunization money is fixed for a certain period of time, which is the prerequisite for the implementation of the apportionment of the mu. In addition, if the government encourages land reclamation, the arable land will increase day by day, and the tax of the apportionment of the mu will decrease year by year. The protests of the rich will definitely Great reduction." Fan Zheng said to himself.

"This strategy is feasible! In this way, the officials can gain a benevolent reputation, and the distribution of labor into the mu can be implemented smoothly." Su Song was quite moved.

Zhang Dun frowned and said, "Even so, the taxes paid by wealthy households are still much higher than in previous years, and I'm afraid there will still be dissatisfaction."

There is another dissatisfaction among the wealthy households, and that is the sudden skyrocketing taxes. Besides, no one is willing to pay more.

Fan Zheng continued: "The reason why the wealthy households are dissatisfied is that the taxes they bear are too high, and another reason is the hidden land! In this way, the next step is to clear the Zhang's farmland! You only need to clear the Zhang to pay more acres, the taxes borne by wealthy households will naturally drop.”

"Qingzhang Tianmu?" Zhang Dun's face suddenly changed.

Once upon a time, when their new law implemented the Fangtian Average Tax Law, the most important step was to clear the acres of land. As a result, they encountered a lot of resistance, and finally tried three times and tried three times!Died halfway.

"Officials think twice!" Su Song also knew the stakes, and quickly dissuaded him.

Zhao Xu also frowned, naturally he knew the interests of Qingzhang Tianmu, if he was not careful, it might cause an uproar in the world.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "I have reported to the officials that people's hearts are extremely complicated, but it is not without traces. The officials ordered that the labor be allocated to the mu, and the wealthy households must pay more taxes. They must be dissatisfied. Now the officials announce that they will never pay more taxes during their reign The land tax is encouraged to reclaim wasteland. In the future, the land tax will not increase but will decrease. Although the wealthy households complain, they can accept it.

If the government announces the clearing of Zhang’s fields and the investigation of hidden fields, and the land tax drops again, the wealthy households will naturally be very satisfied and readily agree, and the taxation of the land into the mu will be implemented smoothly. "

Zhao Xu nodded slightly.

Fan Zheng continued: "During the first emperor's time, Fang Tian averaged tax laws three times and three strikes because there was no support from the people. However, now that the government implements the taxation of the mu, [-]% of the people support it. Checking the hidden land can reduce their taxes, and the rich naturally do not." will oppose it, so the government has at least [-]% support."

"[-]% support?" Zhao Xu's heart skipped a beat.

"Furthermore, the official family still has the benevolent name that will never be rewarded to appease the old party. The right time, place and people are all there. If the official family misses a good opportunity, I am afraid it will be too late for regret." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Zhao Xu held back his excitement and asked Zhang Dun, "What does Mr. Zhang think?"

"You can give it a try!" Zhang Dun gritted his teeth. Anyway, Fang Tianjunshui has already tried three times and three times, and at worst, four times.

Zhao Xu nodded and said: "Su Aiqing, Qingzhang Tianmu is not only the key to solving Kaifeng's predicament, but also concerns the overall situation of the world. I implore Su Aiqing to do it with all my strength."

Su Song said with a solemn face: "The old minister obeys the order!"

Su Song abided by justice and impartiality throughout his life. His political views were conducive to reconciling the contradictions between the new party and the old party. Only by promoting the clearing of Zhang Tianmu could the influence be minimized.

Time!

"All the immunization money for the servile and the mu is collected according to the eighth year of Yuanfeng. During my reign, I will breed people and never increase the tax!"

In the political affairs hall, Zhao Xu solemnly announced the imperial decree.

"Official Shengming!"

Suddenly tears filled the eyes of the veterans of the old party. They were determined to train Zhao Xu to be a benevolent monarch like Renzong, but Zhao Xu took the initiative to force the palace and shattered their expectations.

Just when they thought they had failed, Zhao Xu gave them new hope.

Of course, the only regret is that this never adding a gift was only during Zhao Xu's reign. If it became the ancestral system, the official's benevolence would definitely surpass Renzong's.

Looking at the performance of the officials of the old party, Zhao Xu couldn't help but glance at Fan Zheng. Sure enough, the old party cared most about these false names.

"The officials are benevolent. They will never increase taxes to reduce the taxes of the people in the world. They also ask the officials to take pity on the rich households in Kaifeng. They bear heavy taxes. Please check them out!" Lu Dafang took advantage of the situation and said.

"Kaifeng Prefecture is the land of the capital, and the instability of the people is a serious problem. Please also learn from the officials!" Yang Wei, the censor, said.

A group of old party officials came forward one after another, requesting the abolition of servitude.

Zhang Dun took advantage of the situation and said, "I would like to report to the officials that the immunization money is taxed the same per mu. The rich immunization money bears more, mainly because they have more land. Another reason is that there are still many hidden fields in the world who evade taxes. Ministers I implore the implementation of the Fangtian Average Tax Law once again, clearing up the number of acres in the world, so that the number of acres increases, the immunization money per acre of land decreases, and the tax borne by the rich will naturally decrease."

"Fang Tian Average Tax Law!"

The old party officials were shocked. They did not expect to shoot themselves in the foot.Those who are qualified to hide their land are naturally powerful officials and big landlords. Once the Fangtian Average Tax Law comes out, the hidden land behind them will definitely be revealed. The taxes of the rich have been reduced, and the taxes borne by their families will be reduced. will skyrocket.

"Officials can't, Fang Tian's average tax law was in the time of the first emperor, try it three times and try it three times! It can be seen that it is very harmful, please think twice." Lu Dafang's expression changed, and he quickly dissuaded him.

Zhao Xu sneered and said, "My dearest relatives, I have decreed that there will never be any additional taxes. The wealthy households in Kaifeng complain about the heavy taxation. If you don't know the land and acres, can you dearest relatives have a good plan?"

Lu Dafang was silent for a moment, he couldn't help but find sadly that the only way to solve the predicament now is to clear Zhang Tianmu.

And this time, I am afraid that there will be no opposition from the whole people during the first emperor's time. After all, once the tribute is released, the poor households will benefit, and the rich households will benefit when the land is cleared. They will be alone and helpless.

really!

During Zhao Xu's reign, there was a promise that people would never increase their taxes and the decree to reduce land taxes came out.

The wealthy households cheered one after another. Although they were wealthy households, they had no official status. Even if the imperial court expropriated them in full, they were powerless to resist. Now that the imperial court retreated two steps in a row, Tian Fu would only be less or less in the future, and the resentment in their hearts disappeared.
