I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 72

The peasants are divided into acres, the fire consumption is returned to the public, and the lowly status is abolished.

However, the twelve words directly caused an uproar in the hearts of everyone present.

Throughout the dynasties, the tax system of the imperial court has been constantly changing and reforming, from the mediocrity of rent in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, to the two tax laws of the Ming Dynasty, to the current tax system that breeds people and never increases taxes.In essence, it is still maintained within the basic framework of the local Dingyin, that is, the head tax.

Even the tax law proposed by Wang Li was only a supplement to the never-increasing taxation based on the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty. The actual tax collected was still a small amount of silver, which was a change of the soup without changing the medicine.

But this is different. Everyone is still following the rules of the game, but you are so lucky that you even overturned the table. How can this be done?

Wang Li and Liang Wenxuan, the two new pavilion elders, still frowned and did not speak.

Among the courtiers present, Jia Wenzhao, the prefect of Quanzhou with the third highest official position, couldn't help it. He hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I am going to supervise the country. I think this method is absolutely impossible!"

Zhu Yijiong asked: "Why not?"

Jia Wenzhao said: "The tax law is a major plan of the country, and the collection of silver per household has been in existence since ancient times. If it is suddenly abolished and replaced by a tax calculation based on land, not to mention the complexity, I am afraid that the local gentry will also complain about it. This is putting the cart before the horse and is of no benefit to the country."

Zhu Yijiong said: "What Jia Qing said is wrong. Although Ding Yin is an ancient system, it has been used to this day, but it has already caused great harm to the country. If I don't mention it far away, let's talk about Qian Ming! The disaster of Qian Ming's overthrow is thought by all the ministers. Why?"

ah?Aren't you talking about the tax system?
Why is it brought back to Qingming again?

Upon hearing Zhu Yijiong's question, no matter Jia Wenzhao, who opened his mouth to rush to the tower, or Wang Li, Liang Wenxuan, the two pavilion elders, they were all a little out of tune, and they didn't know how to answer.

Is it possible to say that Chongzhen was a foolish emperor and the Ming court was full of treacherous ministers, so the Ming Dynasty was ruined?

Isn't that bullshit?

Although Zhu Yijiong was acquainted with Chongzhen, Chongzhen was nominally his great-grandfather, so no matter how they answered, it was actually a bit of a scolding.

The only difference is that the former points at the nose and scolds, while the latter points at the mulberry and the pagoda.

Jia Wenzhao lowered his head, not daring to speak, and the others were also looking at their noses and hearts. Only Wang Li lowered his head with a burning look in his eyes.

He has basically figured out that His Royal Highness, the Supervisor, seems to be really determined to set up a business.

That being so...

Seeing that all the ministers were speechless, Zhu Yijiong immediately said: "Why is there any danger of overthrow in the Ming Dynasty? It's just one thing, the government forces the people to rebel, why the government forces the people to rebel, but the people have no life, why the people have no life, all because the people have no land to cultivate. "

In just three sentences, none of the civil servants present were not officials. With just a little thought, they understood what Zhu Yijiong meant.

The people have no land to cultivate, but they have to bear huge land taxes and dingyin. In this way, there is no reason not to do the opposite.

Now, His Highness the Supervisor is telling them that it is absolutely necessary for them to live together.Otherwise, even if the Ming Dynasty regains control of the world, I am afraid that it will repeat the mistakes of the previous Ming Dynasty.

Out of class interests, Jia Wenzhao still wanted to speak, but Wang Li beat him to it: "The tax law mentioned by the supervisor is really wonderful. As long as this law can be successfully implemented, over time, Fujian will become the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. .”

Good guy, this is a direct statement.

Jia Wenzhao was stunned immediately, in disbelief.

But Wang Li saw very clearly that the Ming Dynasty was now at its peak, in other words, it was full of martial virtue, even if the supervising country really wanted to force the tenants into the family.

Not mentioning the other provinces, there is absolutely no possibility of resistance in Fujian alone.

The entire military system of the Ming Dynasty was built by Jian Guo. As long as Jian Guo gives an order, one hundred thousand soldiers and horses can clear all obstacles for Jian Guo.

Moreover, it may seem that this small share of land has seriously shaken the foundation of the gentry, but in fact, only the big landowners, the so-called gentry, have suffered heavy losses.

For small and medium-sized landowners and self-cultivated farmers, it cannot be said that there is no impact, but it is by no means difficult to accept.

Although everyone is a landlord, in fact, except for the powerful gentry class, everyone from the poor to the small and medium-sized landowners are the targets of the gentry class.

If the new tax law is truly implemented, the burden on the taxpayers will be reduced, not to mention the burden on the people at the bottom will be greatly reduced. Even those small and medium-sized landowners will also be able to relieve a lot of pressure.

By then, instead of resisting, these small and medium-sized landowners will vigorously support the new tax law.

Moreover, even if the foundation of these Jin gentry class was shaken, considering the weakness of the Jiangnan Jin gentry, the chance that they would actually dare to rebel is very slim.If not, Yongzheng's policies in history would have caused great chaos in the country long ago by promoting the idea of ​​dividing households into acres, reverting fire expenses to the public, paying grain to both officials and gentry, abolishing humble status, etc.

Wang Li was the first to express his position. Liang Wenxuan, the same pavilion elder, was not a fool. After thinking about it briefly, he figured out the key.

The peasants are divided into acres, the fire consumption is returned to the public, the humble status is abolished, and the officials and gentry receive the food together.

Except that the first one is indeed a bit scary, the next three are actually just like that, especially the officials and gentry receiving food together are not worth mentioning.

After all, the current Ming Dynasty was originally a pioneer. These officials, not to mention their salaries, even donated most of their family property to the prison state. This actually means that the officials and the gentry receive food from one body.

Moreover, it is precisely because the Ming Dynasty is now in its infancy, and this is the time when resistance is least likely to be promoted, or in other words, they can directly break up with each other.

In the Battle of Quanzhou, the entire Qing army in Fujian was wiped out.At least in the whole of Fujian, if the Ming Dynasty wanted to force the new tax law, there would be no constraints. Even if there were, the [-] soldiers and horses of the Supervisory State would eliminate all these constraints.

And as long as the new tax law can be implemented, as Wang Li said, Fujian will become the foundation of Ming Dynasty's hegemony.At that time, the Ming army can rely on this to expand its army by another hundred thousand.

With 20 Ming troops sweeping across, the entire Jiangnan area would be unrivaled.

This is a matter of strategic thinking. It is best to proceed step by step, but Ming Dynasty does not have so much time.

As soon as the battle report from Fujian is sent to Beijing, the Qing government will definitely mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Ming army.

If you don't take advantage of the opportunity to break out the troops, and still play house with these gentry and landlords, isn't that asking for death?

Liang Wenxuan thought clearly, and then he also raised his hands.

The two senior cabinet ministers expressed their support. Jia Wenzhao and other civil servants who participated in the court meeting saw this. Although they felt helpless, they had no choice but to bow their hands obediently.

Seeing this group of civil servants finally taking the road, Zhu Yijiong finally smiled.In fact, he didn't come up with it just because he was hot-headed.

A series of policy reforms began gradually after only one year in history.

In fact, Emperor Kangxi's "Yong Ding Yong" was the beginning of the practice of "sharing the family into the family", so there is also a saying that the practice of "sharing the family into the family" began as early as the Kangxi year.

Moreover, if you really want to count it out, Qian Ming actually also engaged in sharing the land.

Yes, that's right, it's the famous whipping method.The whip law not only unified the tax system, but also tentatively distributed the tax money from the head to the land.

In the early days of the implementation of the Yitiao Whip Method, in just ten years, Ming Dynasty was able to recover most of its strength and was even able to fight the three major campaigns.

It's a pity that the whipping method is just a small repair to the past. As soon as Zhang Juzheng died, he was almost paralyzed until he completely collapsed.

Since Yongzheng could implement the system of dividing one person into one mu after one year, why can't Zhu Yijiong do it now?
Theoretically, his resistance should actually be smaller than that of Yongzheng, because Yongzheng worked within the system, and he didn't have to worry about it at all.

Moreover, with such a combination of punches, Ming Dynasty could not only obtain tax money comparable to borrowing grain, but also further improve the central finance.With the abolition of humble status, civilian labor can be further released.Once there is more labor and population mobility, Fujian's business will develop.

As an indisputable place for military strategists, Fujian is still dominated by business, especially the Maritime Silk Road, which has even become Fujian's two major cultural heritages in later generations.

Zhu Yijiong had already thought about it. On the one hand, he would learn from Yongzheng's set of boxing techniques, and on the other hand, since Kangxi had restarted the sea ban, he would also open a sea ban. Not only that, he would also vigorously support sea trade.

Compared with big landowners, Fujian has more large-scale merchants. Although the small farmers have dug away the foundation of these people on the land, wouldn't it be a good deal to exchange them for the Ming Dynasty's support for maritime trade?

The so-called hit a stick, give a sweet date.

Everyone knows how profitable sea trade is. Back then, Zheng Zhilong even relied on this alone to support the Longwu court.

By supporting maritime trade, not only the maritime merchants can make a lot of money, but the Ming Dynasty can also get higher fiscal revenue than land taxes. It can be said to be a win-win situation.

If you are still dissatisfied and even dare to rebel, then you are really completely uncoachable, so what are you doing? Get rid of Suanqiu as soon as possible.

Moreover, Zhu Yijiong also wanted to see if he had taken away the path of Yongzheng, what method should Yongzheng use to clean up the Qing Dynasty with corrupt officials and empty finances?
Ha ha.

　The leader left too late, so he was slower.

　　The practice of spreading people into their families began in the first year of Yongzheng's reign, and the method of whipping had been tried a long time ago, but it was not thorough.Why are everyone reacting so loudly?
