"Zi'an, you are too impatient," Lao Wang said sadly.

There were two taboo topics in the Song Dynasty, land and taxation.

It doesn't matter if it's true, even if the brothers like Li Wei, Zhang Zai and Cheng publicly said that the ancient well-field system was implemented, but they could not write to the letter and force the court to pass it.

Including Wang Anshi, he also avoided these two topics.

At most, the Fangtianjun tax law was implemented, and it seemed that it had affected this land and tax.

But it was not implemented thoroughly, and it was just to let the powerful report the number of hidden fields in full, not to let them hand over the cultivated land and distribute it to the common people, nor to let them stop the merger from then on.

However, that's it, because of Fang Tianjun's tax law, many powerful people hated it.

Not to mention the equal business tax, how many officials in the Song Dynasty did business? Why, because the Song Dynasty system, or the so-called ancestral family law, prohibited officials from doing business.

However, it was also the custom at that time that he was to cheat and be noble and to raise reputation... So, everyone was looking for agents to do business. There was no evidence to prove that they took the initiative to report it, so how to record it fairly. But in this way, in the relevant Song history materials, we can still see n ministers doing business, and there were many illegal phenomena, including Zhao Pu.

Even a good baby like Su Dongpo, who grew up in a honeypot, returned to Bashu with a few ships of private salt to get money. As a result, because he didn't understand why, even the private salt that was like a huge profit was even losing money.

So this child... should go to Dajiangdong. Being an official and managing finances is not the child's strengths.

Just like Suzhou City, it is located on the main road of the Bian River in the Grand Canal. Therefore, the business is becoming increasingly prosperous and the people in the city cannot squeeze out. Therefore, the governor Zhou Zhi responded to the court at the request of the people. Song Zhezong allocated 10,000 stagnants of money to allow Zhou Zhi to expand Suzhou City.

This is a good thing.

A city expansion can increase the amount of land squeezed.

It also solved the tense housing situation of the people in the city, and the expansion will make Suzhou more prosperous. However, Su Dongpo made a report saying that it was a waste of money and the matter was left alone. Even in the later anti-Jin period, as the most important city, because the expansion was not timely, it left serious hidden dangers.

Su Dongpo was kind-hearted, but because he didn't understand, he did something bad.

But the other ministers were not romantic and innocent Su Dongpo. They were quite scheming, especially those descendants from powerful and wealthy businessmen, such as Fu Bi. The Fu family was originally a wealthy family in Luoyang. In addition, he was talented and learned, so he did not pass the Jinshi. Yan Shu still appreciated Fu Bi and married his daughter to Fu Bi. However, this little Yan was not a trouble-free person. On the contrary, because of this daughter, Yan Shu and Fu Bi have always had a bad relationship.

In other words, not all officials have their families doing business, but many officials directly or indirectly participate in the business.

The reason is very simple. What makes money the fastest is not land. Agriculture is stable income, but huge profits are still industry and commerce!

Not only are there huge profits, but also because of their status, the clerks dare not collect any taxes.

This tax is quite amazing, at least 5% and one trip to commercial goods saves more than 5% of the tax, so the tax will undoubtedly turn into profits. What is the profit of more than 5%?

Think about it, how many powerful and powerful scholars and officials will be hated by Wang Ju’s introduction of the Qi Commercial Tax?

The worst thing is that the emperor actually agreed on the spot and issued an edict immediately.

Moreover, this edict, coupled with Wang Ju's previous actions, will make people think of it.

What are you thinking? Now it is a commercial tax. Will all taxes be included in the future? Including two taxes.

Moreover, Wang Ju has had similar practices.

Will it be all over after taxes be lost?

Zhang Zai had said many times before that the ancient well-field system was implemented, and Wang Ju implemented a tough policy of reforming land in the south. He also suppressed the powerful and barbarian chiefs, and then confiscated the property in their homes, and distributed all the houses and fields to the common people.

If everyone thinks this way, what will they think about Wang Ju?

At that time, Wang Ju will inevitably be demoted from the court because of strong opposition.

"Prince, since I came back, some people hid in the dark and tried their best to deal with me, assassinate, slander... but it was not completely groundless. Over the years, because of me, the aliens who died directly or indirectly at my hands, including the Xixia people, Jiaozhi people, Chameng people, Zhenla people and overseas natives, will be calculated in millions. Maybe a thousand years later, after the descendants reflect on me, they will still give me the title of butcher. At least the aliens will definitely give me this title. But what's wrong? For the sake of the Song Dynasty and for this group of tribes, I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?"

If the Western Xia did not invade, the Jin people would not go south, and later the great powers would not invade or suppress China, Wang Ju would not want to do this.

But the truth is... people can eat people.

Just like the US imperialists, they shouted about humanitarianism and the theory of China's threat, but because of oil and other resources, how many wars have been launched!

In fact, sometimes Wang Ju can't bear it, but there is no way.

There is only one opportunity, and if you miss it, you will miss it forever. For example, the other side of the other side is only three or four hundred years, and Europeans will pay attention to that land. Since then, white people have gradually become the first race.

Wang Judu said this, and Wang Gui could no longer persuade him.

Sure enough, countless voices of opposition came out.

Euphemistic terms, such as Lu Gongzhu and others, said that they would harass the people and break the peace that the court finally received.

The radical statement is that Wang Ju often uses benefits to move people and the court, which will drag the Song Dynasty into a utilitarian era and lose morality.

There are other inexplicable reasons.

Even Sima Guang was in Luoyang and wrote three letters to Zhao Xu.

It is unknown whether I have written a letter to Lu Gongzhu, Feng Jing, Sun Gu and others.

Even Zhao Niannu sent a maid to the door and secretly informed him that Gao Taotao was lobbying in the palace, urging Zhao Xu to give up this terrible practice.

Due to this situation, Wang Ju had to explain at the dynasty meeting: "Everyone, many people oppose the issue of commercial tax. However, I only want to say two things. The first thing I have never said before. I did not report my thoughts to Your Majesty until I got a large amount of gold last year. Most of you know that the future measures are the Bank Department. Its sources are two, the difference between interest on deposits and loans, which stimulates the development of industry and commerce, so that many people can become richer, and the court will also receive a large amount of commercial tax. Once the bank department is established, the income from this commercial tax even exceeds the interest on deposits and loans. And I am also sending people to arrange to raise a large amount of gold and silver. The more the quantity, the greater the effect. It is possible that the income of the court in the future will not only be more than 20 million, but even more than 30 million, or 40 million. But this basis is that the commercial tax must be fully traded to the maximum extent."

"Everyone. If the court can make so much profit and get it without tax increases, what changes will it bring? Not only will the treasury be more abundant, but many people will benefit from it. And when the finances are more abundant, the court can ban the Qingmiao Law, the hand-made law and the leniency of the remaining money. As for the Baojia Law and the bribery law that many people oppose. As long as the finances are abundant, the court will issue all the armor to Baoding for free and exempt Baoding from the relevant taxes for half a year, will it still disturb the people? Not only will it not disturb the people, but on the contrary, it will infinitely amplify its role, such as preventing theft, so that the people will have the spirit of martial arts. The court can immediately select a large number of soldiers to defend border security under special needs."

"There is also the horse protection law. As long as the finances are abundant, the court does not have to spend a small amount of money. Force the people to buy it themselves, but will take the initiative to buy a large number of horses from various places and then hand it over to the people for breeding. Will the people still be burdened? Then its role is also magnified. If more people can be trained to ride horses and reserve a large number of cavalry for the court. At the same time, the number of horses can be expanded, so it can be transported for profit and used for cultivated land..."

"Zi'an, but what horse came?" Lu Gongzhao asked from the west.

"Lu Gong is worried that it makes sense, but today is not the same as before. This profit may take a few years later. I believe that Zhang Zhifu would have completely pacified Dali in a few years. At that time, he could get a large number of Dian horses, Tengchong horses, Wuman horses from Dali, and a large number of war horses on the Tubo plateau from the tea horse road. In addition, the sea transport is developed. The sea ships become larger and can also detour the rear of the Liao Kingdom to trade war horses with the Jurchens. There is also a place where on the largest island on the other side, there are a large number of pastures suitable for grazing, which not only raises a large number of cattle and sheep, but also raises many horses. However, the breeding speed of horses is relatively slow, but in a few years, the number of horses on the other side will inevitably increase. Although the journey is long and it is not easy to transport war horses by boat, it can also provide thousands of war horses to the court every year. And some of these war horses deliberately bought from Dashi, which are far taller than the Jurchen war horses."

"The actual horse protection law should be banned," Feng Jing said on the side.

"Donald Feng, if the court provides war horses, there is no need to ban it. Raising war horses in large quantities will not only benefit the country but also the people. Not only horses, but also the people are seriously lacking in all kinds of large livestock in our dynasty. In fact, if it were not for the finances, I would like to propose that all large livestock will not be included in property calculation households, etc., as I have managed locally, then the people will dare to raise livestock."

This requires money.

If large livestock were not included in households, many people in the Song Dynasty would immediately reduce households, etc., which means that taxes would be reduced rapidly at the same time.

This is the first loss, and there is another loss.

The main income of the state treasury in the Song Dynasty was two taxes, four major income (salt, wine, tea, alum, and fragrance are the income from the treasury and have nothing to do with the treasury). Various commercial taxes and tariffs are not only the past taxes of trade, but also the income of "state-owned enterprises" such as house property tax, house land transaction tax, and various pit mining supervision. Don't underestimate these incomes. It is also a large income investor in the Song Dynasty. Just like the amount of pit mining, the annual volume of various metals has almost reached 50 million kilograms!

Why did the country collect rent? In fact, there were many official fields in the Song Dynasty, some used for official fields, some used for school fields, some used for officers, some used for camp fields and archers fields for officers and soldiers, and some rented to the people for farming.

There are also some invisible income, such as science and ban, which not only suppress the price of the goods, but also make profits, as well as various taxes such as discounts and levies...

There are also some incomes that no one can imagine, such as cattle rent, and the people no longer raise cattle, so the government raises cattle and then rents them to the people to facilitate planting and increase grain production.

The intention is good, but execution is another matter. Often, the cow dies for twenty or thirty years, and the government continues to collect cattle rent from the people.

This income is hundreds of thousands of trump cards a year.

Once the household registration is not included, the income will be gone.

Of course, from the perspective of ordinary people, it is undoubtedly a good policy.

But from the perspective of the country, I may not like it, so Wang Ju said that the policy of not counting all large livestock in the whole country must be formally introduced until the finances are further improved.

Didn’t you say you love the people?

Feng Jing had no choice but to retreat.

Wang Ju continued, "Your Majesty, I'll give another example. On the other side, everyone began to care. Last year, the fiscal revenue on the other side was more than 3.8 million guan, but its income was only two taxes and commercial tax. Because the number of people is still relatively small, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, the price of food is very low. You can't imagine it. Generally, a high bucket of wheat rice beans costs only fifteen cents, and the lower ones cost only a few cents. In addition, the tax rate is also very low, and on average, it is only twenty-one, which is the real twenty-one. There is no heavy tax. Therefore, it is actually less than 300,000 guan. The remaining 3.5 million guan is completely commercial tax. But you also know how many people there are on the other side."

In their hearts, there are more than two million people on the other side, which means they are evenly distributed. One person has to pay half of the usual commercial tax.

If it is distributed evenly to the Song Dynasty according to this ratio, it will have at least 170 to 80 million yuan of commercial taxes.

Last year, the national fiscal revenue plus the newly obtained two routes was only 190 million. Of course, compared with previous years, this shows that the country has gradually begun to impose levies and concessions in recent years, otherwise the number of two routes would exceed 200 million. But this more than 190 million is a bunch, stone, piece, silo, kilogram, kilogram, two, pieces, and pieces, which is actually converted into money, but only 140 million.

As for commercial tax income, including the newly added commercial tax that Wang Ju led, it was only 10 million yuan.

This is a scary comparison.

But before it was over, Wang Ju continued: "And in order to prosper the other side's economy, the maritime merchants initially implemented a one-to-three-year tax exemption policy for all industries on the other side. Now more than 80% of the various industries within the other side have not been officially taxed. Therefore, in the next three years, the commercial tax on the other side may double."

Cai Que asked with concern: "What is the tax rate?"

"They copied the tax rate of our dynasty. The difference is the real commercial tax. So if it were not for the threat of the natives on the other side, there were some people who were not in line with the local conditions. It can be said that the people on the other side, compared with the ordinary people in our dynasty, they lived in heaven."

This is one of the most important functions of the other shore.

Compared with the Song Dynasty, the entire country on earth can only be regarded as a barbarian and uncivilized country.

Therefore, no matter how you do it, there is no good example to compare.

But now it's there.

This is the best rebuttal.

However, this rebuttal was only a temporary suppression, and even the cities and towns in the capital began to have some rumors.

Han Yun said with emotion: "This is public opinion."

"It's not only public opinion, but also everyone's perception."

So Wang Ju cooperated with Zhang Zai to improve Guan Xue in Hengqu.

This cognition is really important. Just like the ancient evaluation of Shang Yang, there are very few positive sides, but most negative sides. Why is Sima Qian?

Taizu read Zizhi Tongjian 17 times, so he did not help his friends many times.

Some people say I have seen it, but have you the ability, patience, talent and talent to read it in depth? I'm afraid even the long section of Chen Guangyue would not go to see it.

After reading it so many times and reading it again, it will be somewhat affected by it, including Sima Guang's understanding of power and the rise and fall of all dynasties.

The Confucianism of Cheng's family influenced Zhu Xi, and the Confucianism of Zhu Xi influenced the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so how much change did it occur?
