Flower Stealing Master

Zhou Zhiruo was unmoved, and said indifferently: "Without me, you can be as good as you are, no matter how great you are." One sentence caused Zhao Min to punch to the empty space, and her heart was suffocated.

Song Qingshu heard her scalp numb, thinking that it was the biggest mistake to ask them both at the same time, and that she should talk to them one by one in private.

Seeing that he had the upper hand, Zhou Zhiruo took a triumphant look at Zhao Min on the side, and then asked Song Qingshu to report something else to Song Qingshu: "I have read the résumés of Jianghuai real estate officials during this period of time, and many of them have been corrupted and perverted. The younger generation, but considering that Yangzhou’s new annex, everything is based on stability, our focus during this time is still on mastering the army, so we only made fine adjustments to those local officials, except for a few special **** officials who were killed by me. The others haven't moved yet, and I will settle accounts with them slowly when everything is stable in the future."

"Well done, stability is indeed the top priority now!" Song Qingshu couldn't help but exclaimed. After speaking, he gave Zhao Min a surprised look. "These are what you came up with? The princess is really all-rounder!"

Zhou Zhiruo's face turned dark, Zhao Min couldn't help but giggled: "People are asking you for credit. I didn't expect you to directly count the credit on the head of the county lord, giggle~ It seems that I am better than some people in your mind. Smarter and more reliable."

Feeling the murderous aura behind him, Song Qingshu only felt a chill on his back, and instantly changed his words: "But if you are more powerful, you can drive such a powerful talent to use for yourself."

Zhou Zhiruo's face looked better when she heard him, but Zhao Min's face went dark.

"What about taxes?" Song Qingshu secretly wiped his cold sweat, and quickly changed the subject.

"Taxation is more troublesome," Zhou Zhiruo frowned. "Although the land of Jianghuai is rich, most of the land is concentrated in the hands of the gentry. However, the previous taxation policies have given preferential treatment to those with merit. The gentry can reduce or exempt a lot of taxes. The poor peasants put their land in the hands of the gentry in order to avoid taxation, and over time it was easy to be annexed by the gentry... the tax collected was far worse than the actual amount of land."

"Land annexation, the necessary stage of feudal society, normal." Song Qingshu began to ponder. Although he understood its inevitability, he had to find a way to solve this problem. He didn't want to go to war without military pay and repeat the mistakes of Chongzhen.

"Actually, it is easy to solve this problem." Zhao Min on the side suddenly said.

"How to solve it?" Zhou Zhiruo had been having a headache all this time, and asked subconsciously.

Zhao Min raised his chin, and a trace of triumph flashed in his eyes: "Please!"

Zhou Zhiruo suffocated her breath, turned her head and chose to ignore it.

Song Qingshu gave a wry smile: "Princess, don't sell the Guanzi, tell us about it."

"Hmph, for your better attitude, I will teach you." Seeing Zhou Zhiruo's mouth saying ignore, but actually pricked his ears to listen, Zhao Min smiled very brightly, "Our Mongolian Empire is now in the territory. Taxation is also a big problem. At first, it was improved according to your Han Chinese taxation laws, but the effect was not very good. Later, some people offered a plan and invented a taxation method, which was to adjust the tax rate to a very high Level."

"Cut, what good idea did I have at the time," Zhou Zhiruo sneered again and again, "the lower-class people who raised the tax rate didn't even start?"

"What are you doing so impatiently, I haven't finished it yet," Zhao Min gave her a blank look and continued, "This tax rate is very high. It is true that ordinary people can't afford it. However, the court will establish an institution that can issue loans and lend money to People pay taxes and extend the repayment period appropriately. Of course, the longer the repayment period, the higher the interest rate."

"Doesn't it mean that the people will not live out? The people will still rise up?" Zhou Zhiruo frowned.

"Of course not," Zhao Min suddenly sneered. "The people at the bottom are all contented animals. As long as there is room for choice, they will not rebel. The court lends them money to leave room for them."

"Isn't this multi-layered exploitation?" Zhou Zhiruo was quite dissatisfied. "You Mongolians are really vampires."

"So what!" Zhao Min didn't care. "The law of nature is the law of the weak. Although this method may seem inhumane, the tax collected is dozens of times that of the Han Chinese. If our Mongolian treasury is full, the organization can be stronger. The army conquered more countries."

"Rude barbarian." Zhou Zhiruo snorted, but in his heart he had to admit that Mongolia was so powerful, and it really made sense.

Song Qingshu sounded weird. The court borrowed money from the people to pay taxes. How could it look like a mortgage for later generations...

"The princess's plan is indeed very reasonable..." Song Qingshu exaggerated Zhao Min's skyflowers a lot, and suddenly changed the subject, "but this method is too advanced, and it will be easy to catch fish if you are not careful. There may be no problem in the short term. But after ten years or so, various problems will erupt, and then the people will not be able to survive, and the country will also be in danger of collapse."

We must know how many economists, mathematicians, and political geniuses in future generations are calculating their models and controlling the pulse of the housing market at any time. For this reason, economic crises erupt from time to time around the world.

In today's world, Song Qingshu does not believe that there are so many scientists who can handle this incomparably complex financial system. At most, people are just beginning to get involved in this area. All experience is still groping, and many major problems will surely erupt in the future.

In history, Mongolia adopted the Huihui people's tax policy. At the beginning, it did hide its sweetness. However, after a serious turbulence broke out, this method had to be abandoned.

Although Zhao Min is smart, it has the limitations of the times. She thinks this taxation method is so effective. She told Song Qingshu without reservation. He actually didn't appreciate it and couldn't help but secretly get angry: "Huh, you don't think this will work, then. No, it seems you must have an idea?"

"I thought of a few ways, let me think about it first." Song Qingshu's mind was swiftly turning at this time, but he didn't pay attention to Zhao Min's emotional changes.

Seeing him hit the snake with the stick, Zhao Min snorted and turned his head directly, planning not to give this **** any more ideas in the future. Zhou Zhiruo, who was on the side, was full of energy, and he was obviously pleased to hear about this situation.

Song Qingshu didn't notice the undercurrent surging between the two women and began to pay taxes carefully. The first thought that came up in his mind was to divide the land with local tyrants. The road that Taizu traveled at that time proved to be effective. It gave full play to the enthusiasm of the farmers, and it would burst out terrifying energy.

But he quickly dispelled this idea, and now the time is not yet ripe. At that time, Taizu succeeded because of internal and external troubles. China was faced with unprecedented changes in this millennium and reached the point where it was unbreakable and unreliable.

In today’s world, the gentry class has a lot of wealth in society, and almost all talents come from the gentry class. If they are completely offended, they will not escape to other countries. In addition, the gentry class still controls public opinion. It really became the image of a butcher.

You must know that Li Zicheng's lessons are not far away. When Chongzhen ran out of ammunition and food, he did not attack the gentry in the capital. As a result, Li Zicheng found tens of millions of taels of silver from the gentry's home as soon as he entered Beijing. In the end, they were regarded by all the scholar-bureaucrats as unshakable enemies. On the contrary, the Manchus treated these gentry very preferentially, so they all became the leader of the Manchu. The party, because the gentry clans were very powerful in the local area. They were the pioneers, so the Manchus could sweep the world with tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers.

Song Qingshu still needs the help of these gentry class to manage the locality, and the support of the gentry class is needed to compete for the world. After all, farmers in this world have no culture at all. It is okay to expect them to become gangsters and to do big things. There is really no way to expect them to do great things.

He didn't want to be Li Zicheng, so he had to give up the alluring method for later generations.

"Is there any way you can do it? Use mine if you don't have it." Zhao Min waited aside, seeing that he hadn't spoken all the time, and suddenly became a little impatient.

"Of course there is!" Song Qingshu had already straightened out his thoughts at this moment and replied directly, "We can do both by combining'never add money' and'paying a lot of money into acres'."

"What do you mean?" The two women looked blank.

Song Qingshu explained: "I myself used to be just a small citizen. Now that I have the ability, I naturally have to think about the lives of the people. Never adding gifts is mainly to reduce the burden of the people. Of course, it is also to win the hearts of the people. People in other countries will listen. When we are there, we will meet the Master Wang.

Zhou Zhiruo had also lived at the bottom of the year, and he deeply agreed with his ideas: "Yes, as today is a great chaos, the majority of the people are facing all kinds of exorbitant taxes and taxes, and they have to increase taxes at every turn. They have long been miserable. Can you think of them in Qingshu? People admire, I... I like it too."

Zhao Min couldn't help but said sourly: "Anyone who wants fame will be good, but if you want face, you can't get lizi. If you don't have money, you will have no money, food, and military pay. One more Song Xianggong."

"So this has to be solved by'paying over a small amount of money'." Song Qingshu explained calmly, "In the past, taxes were collected as a'poll tax'. How many people pay how many taxes, but often a poor family has a few people. There are only a dozen people in the gentry family, but the wealth of the two sides differs by countless levels. It is not reasonable to calculate taxes and fees based on heads. If taxes are paid based on the number of acres of land, it will not only reduce the burden of the poor. It can also greatly enrich the national treasury and collect far more taxes than before."

Never add Fu and Tan Ding Lu Mu were made by the Qing Dynasty in history. Although the Qing Dynasty’s treatment of the Han people and its later weakness against the Western powers became an inevitable black spot, from the perspective of the feudal dynasty, its Certain systems are much better than many previous dynasties.

In particular, the stall that Yongzheng has acquired has really solved the problem of land mergers over thousands of years and the encroachment of national interests by the gentry class. Of course, because of this, the literati class has always had a very bad opinion of Yongzheng. .
