Chai Rong is wise and wise, familiar with the people's sentiments, Ye Hua has superhuman knowledge and many ideas, and Li Si, he studied the gains and losses of Li Tang, and obtained the true teachings of Feng Dao. The three kings and ministers got together, and soon discussed a set of solutions. Collect this site

First of all, there must be no such thing as exemption from tribute.

Whether it is a temple or a scholar, including the royal family, whoever farms will have to pay the royal grain tax, and there is no compromise at all...

"Your Majesty, in February of the second year of Wude of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, each deputy person would be 'rented two stones, two zhang silk, and three twelve liang of cotton'. This is the so-called renting and mediocre adjustment... The people are based on the population. Regardless of the land or the amount of property, the same silk and millet must be paid according to the deputies, and the same corvette should be borne. If there is land, there will be rent, if there is a family, there will be a mediocre... If there is a prosperous life, there will be no dike and the family business can be long; if there is a task, there will be no proofreading and the number of people can be known; if there is a reason, the law will not be troublesome and the law will be educated and practiced; if there is a tax, the lower part will not be trapped and the upper part will be fully utilized." Li Si shook his head and explained the method of renting and mediocre adjustment used in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, before the Li Tang Dynasty, people were used as the standard for paying taxes. I thought this law was not appropriate and reasonable." Ye Hua smiled and said: "Only people, there will be no output. The key behind the rent-in-one regime used in the early Tang Dynasty was equal land. Since each resident had the same land, Dingkou cultivated the land, generated income, and paid taxes... From this we can see that the key to output was land, not Dingkou, so the object of taxation should be land, not Dingkou! The Tang Dynasty did it, putting the cart before the horse and getting the wrong direction."

Although Li Si was a descendant of Li Tang, he had to admit that Ye Hua's words pointed out the shortcomings of his ancestors. The land tax and military forces of the Tang Dynasty were all based on the equal-field system.

As the population increases and the land is tight, high-ranking officials, royal relatives, and even temples and Zen forests have widely merged the land. Many Dingkou lost the land they depend on for their livelihood and naturally could not bear the land tax and labor service.

On the other hand, aristocratic families with tens of millions of fertile land and countless wealth only need to pay taxes according to Dingkou. This caused a sharp reduction in taxes in the Tang Dynasty and a depletion of finance... Although during the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty, the two tax laws were implemented in accordance with the suggestions of Prime Minister Yang Yan.

However, the two tax laws are still taxed according to household registration and property, and the population is still the main basis for paying taxes. Although it can solve some financial difficulties, it still fails to save the fate of the Tang Dynasty.

"Whether the population generates wealth or the land capital generates wealth... This is not a clear question. However, the population changes too much, while the land and property are relatively stable. The standard for tax collection in the court must be fair and reasonable. Whoever occupies more land will get more income. The more income, the more tax it pays, which is natural! Only in this way can everyone be convinced!"

Ye Hua suggested that Chai Rong completely change the target of taxation, change from Dingkou to land, and turn from man to property... Chai Rong listened carefully, and the benefits of such a change were obvious.

People have birth, old age, sickness and death, but the land is there and will not disappear out of thin air. No matter who buys the land, as long as taxes are paid according to law, the income of the court will not decrease.

"I agree with Ye Qing's opinion, but the same sentence is still there. How to operate, do you have a strategy?"

"Your Majesty, I think that first of all, we should clear the land to determine how much land there is in the world, and then try to distribute the land to all the people as evenly as possible according to the land order. Whether it is aristocratic family or local gentry and merchant landlords, they must not conceal the amount of land or avoid land taxes. If they are discovered, they must decisively confiscate their property and impose heavy punishments."

Ye Hua said again: "But the court cannot just suppress it. It should give the gentry a way. I think they can be allowed to pay the money for exemption from labor and replace corvee with money."

"Ye Qing, I remember you said that if someone is exempted from labor service, it will affect the court's mobilization of the people. If the people cannot be mobilized, it will be impossible to govern the Yellow River. Will the use of money instead of labor affect the people?"

"meeting!"

Ye Hua was very frank, "I think everything is difficult to get it done in one step. I think I can increase the money for exemption! It must reach five times the local wages... In this way, even wealthy families may not be willing to pay. The scope of exemption will be minimized to reduce the rebound force!"

...

Regarding this reform, the monarch and ministers talked freely, even more than the last time they let the martial artist enter the officialdom. The three people repeatedly pondered, learned from the old examples of the previous dynasty, looked for loopholes, and filled the holes... After repeated consideration, the plan was finally finalized!

Chai Rong issued three imperial edicts in one breath. The first is to clear the land and continue to implement equalization of land; the second is to abolish duty-free and exemption from service, and gentry will serve as a whole; the third is to expand the scope of the imperial examination admissions, and add the Kaien Certificate next year, and the number of admissions to the Jinshi Certificate will reach 300!

After these three decrees, Chai Rong issued another one the next day to supplement the second decree. In special circumstances, you can pay money and exempt service, but the standard for paying is five to ten times the local wages. Unless you are not exempted from service, you will not be exempted from service unless you are special.

After coming out of the palace, Li Si rubbed his sore and red eyes and grinned bitterly, "I have been in a hurry for another night. It seems that it is really not easy to become an official. When I was at home, I always rested at sunrise and sunset, and stayed up all night. It was not the way to maintain my health!"

Ye Hua stood beside him and smiled and said, "Senior brother, I'm afraid you won't think about your past life from now on! Based on my guess, Wang Pu just took over the governor of Hedong, and the Hanlin Bachelor's Vacation is vacant. You are going to do this position!"

Li Si was stunned for a moment. He did not refuse. He just pondered for a moment, then stretched his waist and wailed: "Before the order has not yet come down, I am still Bai Ding, so I can't sleep even if I want to sleep!"

He was angry and ran away.

Ye Hua smiled slightly. This cheap senior brother is still a wonderful person, so it is difficult for the master to find it! Ye Hua said to the two cavalry guards behind him: "You follow Lord Li and protect him well. If something happens, I will punish you!"

"I understand!"

The two cavalry guards rushed to chase Li Si. At this time, Feng Ping and Feng Ji were also angry and came out of the palace. Others were just tired, but the two brothers were still working hard. They looked even more haggard than Li Si, and their faces shrank into a ball.

Chai Rong's will was drafted by the two of them.

The brothers' writing styles are nothing to say, but they are completely desperate to meet the content of the will.

"Change the thousand-year-old law, be innovative and exploitative, and it won't work!" Feng Ping said loudly to Ye Hua: "You do this to harm the country and the people!"

Feng Ji also said: "Since ancient times, the court has met scholars with great favor, and scholars have served their country with death! But you want scholars to pay food and serve as one, what is the difference between you and ordinary people? How can the scholars in the world be loyal to their duties? What hope does this great Zhou Dynasty have?"

The two brothers were angry and indignant.

Ye Hua looked at them with a contempt, "You are quite strong? Should you learn from Pei Yu and make a coffin and go to His Majesty to give him a warning?"

The two of them immediately turned red and speechless.

Ye Hua didn't care, "I would like to remind you, think about your father first whenever you do anything! He is over 70 years old and is so sick. You claim to be filial, why do you always bring trouble to your father?"

The two brothers' faces kept changing, their cheeks were bulging, like angry puffer fish.

Ye Hua sneered: "If I don't care about you for the sake of Master's sake, I'm too lazy to care about you. Your Majesty's will be able to dismiss you from your post and wait for investigation, just like Li Qin and the others!"

Feng Ping gritted his teeth, "I don't need your pity. If you want to dismiss the office, just come straight!"

"Hahaha!"

Ye Hua laughed loudly, "Feng Ping, you are really mediocre and extremely mediocre! Your Majesty and I are looking at the face of the Grand Master, so why are those people the same? If you two had not relied on the identity of Grand Master Feng's son, who would have praised you so high? Do you really think that you are in the scholar forest? You are a person who responds to your calls? Wake up, they also want to use the Grand Master and use you!"

Ye Hua pointed at Feng Ping's forehead with his finger, "You should be enlightened. I don't want to see Master dying of anger by you two unfilial sons!"

Fancy slaps in the face, Feng Ping and Feng Ji, their faces were simply beaten into pig's heads.

This taste is really bad!

They could see that Ye Hua did not dare to touch them because of Feng Dao's relationship... But they did not realize that Shi Lin praised them, praised them, and placed them in the same position as Fan Zhi, not because you two were so amazing.

It’s also because of Feng Dao!

If compared, the intentions of these people are even more sinister and hateful. They want to push Master Feng to fight against the emperor!

The old father couldn't see his eyes and his legs were unable to move. He was in a dying life and was still plotted against by others. He couldn't help but feel sorry for him... He was so pitiful!

Feng Ping was silent for a while, then suddenly swung his hand and shook his face hard!

Two heavy slaps, blood flowed down the corners of his mouth.

"Dad, the child is unfilial!"

Feng Ji was also regretful and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

The two brothers didn't care about anything, so they stepped apart and ran home.

Fortunately, the Grand Tutor's Mansion was not far away, and they came back from panting and sweating.

I found Feng Dao slowly paced in the yard with the help of his family... The old teacher could not see his eyes, but he frequently turned his head towards the yard gate.

"You uncle and second master, I haven't come to greet me today. It's been two days... where have they been?" Feng Dao kept asking questions.

The family had to lie, "The uncle and the second master went to the temple to pray for the master!"

Feng Dao snorted, "Fuck, the temple has been sealed. As the imperial officials, they are mixed with bald donkeys, what do they want to do?" The family members did not say anything, and Feng Dao snorted angrily, "I may die tomorrow. Without me, what will happen to them? What will happen to you? Alas!"

The old teacher was angry, but had no choice but to return to the recliner, as if he had died, without saying a word... Feng Ping and Feng Ji looked at each other, feeling even more sad and regretful.

To be honest, Feng Dao was already a little controversial in Shilin, and he accepted Ye Hua as a disciple. The two brothers could always hear criticism of their father. In private, they even felt that although their father's behavior was helpless, it was not very desirable.

Gradually, I was unwilling to listen to my father and felt that my wings were hard.

Feng Ping touched the beard on his chin. He was not only a father, but even a ancestor, but he was still as ignorant as a child!

Ye Hua is right. Without a father, what are the two brothers?

Thinking of this, Feng Ping quickly walked into the courtyard and knelt down next to Feng Dao. Feng Ji also followed him in. The old man and the second master suddenly appeared, causing a lot of trouble for the family.

Feng Ping knelt respectfully on the ground, "Dad, my child is going to take the imperial examination and go to take the imperial examination!"
