The hot wife of the champion

Chapter 415: No Way Out (2)
This time the emperor was determined to open the gap and let the land return to the common people. However, the common people who entrusted the land to evade taxes after raising their fame and fame felt helpless.

These people are greedy for immediate benefits, and after a few years, they will definitely become tenants without land, the country will not be able to collect taxes, and the people will become worse and worse.

After seeing Xie Wenjing's courage and wisdom, the emperor thought of her father and third uncle. As long as he kept them safe, they might be able to open a hole for the monolithic gentry group. It's a good thing that Li Daneng stood up to clear up the slander for them. It's hard for him to check and correct himself and return the land to the people.

"Your Majesty, the students are a little worried about the ancestral system that does not have to pay taxes on the official land under Juren's fame. In order to promote the peace of mind of scholars to study, I not only gave Juren Milu enough to support a family of three, but also exempted Juren. The tax on the land under the name was originally intended to allow the juren to study at ease and serve the country. However, the students saw that a large number of juren ignored the kindness of the first emperor and took advantage of the welfare policy formulated by the first emperor to annex a large number of fields in the family village Over time, most of the fertile land in Dazhou has become official land that does not pay taxes, while a small number of people in dry land pay [-]% of the paddy field tax to support the land tax of Dazhou. Students sometimes think If the first emperor of my Great Zhou Dynasty could see the situation today, he would definitely be heartbroken. How could his kindness be taken advantage of by others? How could he feel embarrassed? Students also know that such land abuses have accumulated for hundreds of years, and it is difficult to truly Return land to the people, but students have two ideas about this disadvantage. First, from the current time as the dividing line, the gentry who once obtained the official land will no longer be held accountable, but those who will be admitted later will be exempted The land tax is preferential, you can pay the land tax as you like, but Da Zhou can implement a different salary for these people than today, greatly increase their salary, and still relieve them of worries, so that they can serve the country and the people with peace of mind .Secondly, a policy can be introduced. The land under the name of Juren or above can be regarded as official land to a maximum extent, and can be exempted from tax. Once this specific number is exceeded, the rest of the land will be taxed as private land, so as to prevent such endless mergers. Land. Students think Mr. Xie’s actions are extremely valuable, but if there is a specific limit on the number of official lands in my Great Zhou Dynasty, for example, Mr. Xie, the fifth-rank magistrate, the number of official lands that can be owned under his name is assumed to be a maximum of [-] Mu, the two hundred mu can be exempted from tax according to the policy, and the rest will be taxed according to the thirteenth of the tenth of the big week. Then Mr. Xie can also get the tax-free official land that belongs to his own rank. For example, the fourth-rank adult can exempt three [-] mu, [-] mu tax-free for adults of the third rank, [-] mu tax-free for adults of the second rank, [-] mu tax-free for adults of the first rank, each meritorious service is also given the maximum tax-free amount according to the level, and the maximum tax-free amount is also set for the Jinshi. In this way, The people of my Great Zhou will regain the land, and the taxes of the Great Zhou will also be greatly increased. This is a little thought of the students, the students are getting more and more disciplined, dear adults, please forgive me."

These days, Xu Yin not only persuaded the Seven Gentlemen and the scholars of the Jiangnan Imperial Academy to side with the emperor, actively cooperate with the emperor to clean up the land, increase the state tax, and benefit the country and the people, but also thought of these strategies to deal with land annexation.

Xu Yin knew deeply that these gentry officials who already owned the land were reluctant to spit out their interests, but it was not necessary to force them to cooperate, but to propose two sets of policies, one for future scholars and one for all officials and gentry.

Xu Yin's two strategies are aimed at two groups of people, one is future scholars, and the other is all gentry including all current scholars, Confucian officials and officials.

Xu Yin estimated that it is impossible for the gentry who have the existing interests to spit out the interests of possession, so he threw out two strategies. If the emperor puts pressure on them, these people will have to promote the first strategy for future scholars.

Scholars in the future don't have any right to speak now, so naturally they won't jump to the court to disagree. As long as they make a strategy, as time goes by, the old and the new will be replaced. Should be greatly improved.

"Absurd! Absolutely absurd! This is slandering the first emperor! The emperor should convict him of deceiving the emperor!" Suddenly, an old speech officer in his fifties from the household department stood up and pointed at Xu Yin, his face turning purple.

Xu Yin's two strategies suddenly shook the interests of the gentry group from the root. Whether it is the former strategy or the latter strategy, they all understand that their vested interests will be deprived, but the time will be different sooner or later.

If Xu Yin's first strategy is followed, the family's land will not be able to enjoy the current tax exemption policy after ten or decades.

If Xu Yin's latter strategy is followed, then he will now have to spit out the tax of a large amount of his own land, which is even more flesh and blood, and naturally no one is willing to do so.

"False? What is a fallacy? The sages of Confucius and Mencius taught us to be kind, to be kind, to benevolent, to be filial, to serve the country and the people. In order to encourage the sons to study at ease, the first emperor gave extremely favorable conditions to scholars, and exempted all those who have achieved more than fame. Scholars pay taxes, let’s see how our scholars repay the first emperor? How to repay, all of us know in our hearts, whoever can’t afford a thousand acres of fertile land will stand up? And you! You are just a seven-level speech Officer, the fertile land in your family is as high as 3 mu. I know that this is a legal land you bought with money. Okay, let’s say you are a legal land, but have you paid one mu of tax to the state for your 3 mu of land? Have you? ?If the 200 mu of land is the common people’s land, then based on the annual income of [-] taels of silver per mu of land, the tax is [-] taels of silver, and the tax of [-] mu of land is [-] taels of silver. Silver. May I ask my lord, how can you use the welfare that the first emperor gave you to study at ease, and embezzle the country’s annual tax of [-] taels of silver? Although your salary is only [-] taels a year, your actual income does not depend on your salary at all. , but make full use of the generous benefits given to you by the first emperor, buy a lot of land, and cause the country to suffer a lot of tax losses. Is this what the sages of Confucius and Mencius taught you to do, or the first emperor taught you to do this?"

Xu Yin knew that if he wanted to be reused in front of the emperor, he had to clearly stand in line, stand at the forefront of the emperor, be the emperor's vanguard, and do everything the emperor wanted to do but was hard to say.

For example, the first emperor's tax-free policy for the world's scholars, the emperor can't blatantly refute the first emperor, only a pioneer like himself can do it, neither need to refute the first emperor, but also give the emperor an open and aboveboard excuse.

The land of this official is considered common among all the officials, but every family behind them is trying to occupy the local land. In the eyes of all the ministers, this is really a matter of course.
