Flower Stealing Master - Chapter 1466

[The first thousand four hundred and sixty-two chapters stand on the shoulders of giants]

Zhou Zhiruo was unmoved, and said indifferently, “Without me being as good as you are, you would be useless no matter how great you are.” One sentence made Zhao Min hit the empty space with a punch, her heart suffocating badly.

Song Qingshu’s scalp went numb when he heard it, thinking that it was the biggest mistake that he asked both of them at the same time, and he should talk to them in private.

Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo had the upper hand, she glanced proudly at Zhao Min on the side, and then began to report other things to Song Qingshu as if taking credit: “I have read the resumes of Jianghuai officials during this period of time, and many of them were corrupt and perverted the law. You, but considering the new annexes in Yangzhou, everything is mainly about stability, and our focus is still on mastering the army during this time, so we just made fine-tuning of those local officials, except for a few particularly scoundrel officials who were killed by me to warn the monkeys, The others haven’t moved yet, and I will settle accounts with them after everything is stable in the future.”

“Well done, stability is the priority now!” Song Qingshu couldn’t help but admire, and after speaking, he glanced at Zhao Min in surprise. , “You came up with these as well? The county master is really a versatile person!”

Zhou Zhiruo’s face darkened, and Zhao Min couldn’t help giggling: “People are asking you for credit, but I didn’t expect you to put the credit directly on the head of the county master. , giggle~ It seems that in your mind, I am much smarter and more reliable than some people.”

Feeling the murderous aura behind him, Song Qingshu only felt a chill on his back, and immediately changed his words: “But Zhiruo, you are more powerful, can you Use such a powerful person for your own use.”

Hearing his words, Zhou Zhiruo’s face became better, but Zhao Min’s face darkened.

“What about the tax?” Song Qingshu wiped his cold sweat secretly and quickly changed the subject.

“Taxes are more troublesome,” Zhou Zhiruo frowned, “Although Jianghuai is rich, most of the land is in the hands of gentry, but the previous tax policy gave preferential treatment to those who were famous. The poor peasants put their land in the hands of the gentry in order to avoid taxes, and over time it is easy to be annexed by the gentry… The tax collected is far worse than the actual amount of land.”

“What about land annexation? It’s normal for a feudal society to go through a stage.” Song Qingshu began to ponder. Although he understood its inevitability, he had to find a way to solve this problem.

“Actually, it’s easy to solve this problem.” Zhao Min on the side said suddenly.

“How to solve it?” Zhou Zhiruo had been having a headache for a while, and subconsciously asked.

Zhao Min raised her chin, and her eyes flashed a hint of pride: “Please!”

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

Song Qingshu gave a wry smile: “The county master, don’t betray you. Tell us about it.”

“Hmph, for the sake of your good attitude, the county master will teach you.” , but actually pricked up his ears to listen, Zhao Min smiled very brightly, “Our Mongolian Empire is now a vast territory, and taxation is also a big problem. At first, it was improved according to your Han people’s taxation method, but the effect was not very good; Huihui people offered advice and invented a tax method, which is to raise the tax rate to a very high level.”

“Cut, what good idea did I have at that time,” Zhou Zhiruo sneered, “The lower-level people will not rise up after raising the tax rate?”

“What are you doing in such a hurry, I haven’t finished yet,” Zhao Min rolled her eyes at her and continued, “This tax rate is very high, and it is true that ordinary people cannot afford it, but the court will establish an institution that can issue loans and lend money to The common people go to pay the taxes, and at the same time extend the repayment period appropriately, of course, the longer the repayment period, the higher the interest.”

“Wouldn’t this make the people’s life difficult? Wouldn’t the common people 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 to choose, they will not rebel. The court lent 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 the weak is the law of nature. Although this method seems inhuman, the tax collected is dozens of times that of the Han people. Our Mongolian treasury is full, and we can organize a stronger organization. The army conquered more countries.”

“Rude barbarians.” Zhou Zhiruo snorted, but in her heart she had to admit that Mongolia was so powerful, it really made sense.

Song Qingshu had a strange expression on his face. The imperial court borrowed money from the common people to pay taxes, how could it be like a mortgage of later generations…

“The county master’s plan is indeed very reasonable…” Song Qingshu exaggerated Zhao Min a lot, suddenly The conversation changed, “However, this method is too advanced, and it is easy to exhaust the water if you are not careful. There may be no problem in the short term, but after a decade or so, various problems will break out. By then, the people will not be able to survive, and the country will also collapse. The danger.” You

must know that the future generations do not know how many economists, mathematicians, and political geniuses are calculating their models and keeping abreast of the pulse of the real estate market at any time. For this reason, economic crises erupt from time to time in the world.

In today’s world, Song Qingshu doesn’t believe that there are so many scientists who can handle this incomparably complicated financial system. At most, Huihui people are just beginning to get involved in this field. All experience is still being explored, and many big problems will definitely break out in the future.

Historically, Mongolia adopted the Huihui tax policy, which was indeed beneficial at first, but then serious turmoil broke out and this method had to be abandoned.

Although Zhao Min is smart, but there are limitations of the times, she thinks this taxation method is so effective, she told Song Qingshu without reservation, he didn’t appreciate it, and could not help but secretly get angry: “Hmph, you don’t think this will work, then No, it looks like you must have an idea?”

“I think of a few ways, let me think about it first.” Song Qingshu’s mind was racing at this time, but he didn’t pay attention to Zhao Min’s mood changes.

Seeing him hit the snake and follow the stick, Zhao Min snorted and turned her head away, planning to never give advice to this bastard again. Zhou Zhiruo, who was beside him, was in high spirits, obviously enjoying the situation.

Song Qingshu did not notice the undercurrent between the two women, and began to pay attention to the issue of taxation.

The first thought that popped into his mind was to divide the land between the local tyrants. The road that Taizu walked through in those days proved to be effective, and the enthusiasm of the vast number of peasants was exerted, and a very terrifying energy would erupt.

But he quickly dismissed the idea, and now the time is not ripe.

The reason why Taizu succeeded back then was because of internal and external aggression. China was faced with changes unseen in this millennium, to the point where it could not be broken or established.

In today’s world, the gentry class holds a lot of wealth in the society, and almost all talents are from the gentry class. If they offend them completely, they will probably flee to other countries. In addition, the gentry class also controls public opinion. Really became a butcher’s image.

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 Beijing. As a result, Li Zicheng scavenged tens of millions of taels of silver from the gentry’s homes as soon as he entered Beijing. Although it was cool for a while, but In the end, they were regarded as inseparable haters by the scholars and officials all over the world; on the contrary, the Manchu Qing treated these gentry very favorably, so they all became the leader of the Qing Dynasty. The party, because the gentry clan was very powerful in the local area. They were the pioneers, so the Manchu Qing could sweep the world with tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers.

Song Qingshu still needs the help of these gentry to govern the locality, and to compete in the world also needs the support of the talents of the gentry. After all, the peasants in this world have no culture at all, and it is okay to expect them to become robbers and loot, but it is really impossible to expect them to do great things.

He didn’t want to be Li Zicheng, so he could only give up the attractive method of later generations.

“Is there anything you can do? If you don’t, just use mine.” Zhao Min was waiting on the side. Seeing that he didn’t speak, he became impatient.

“Of course there is!” Song Qingshu had already straightened his thoughts and replied directly, “We can combine the two-pronged approach of ‘Never Add Fu’ and ‘Tan Ding into Mu’.”

“What do you mean?” Face blank.

Song Qingshu explained: “I used to be just a small commoner, but now that I have the ability, I naturally have to consider the lives of the common people. The main purpose of never adding a burial is to lighten the burden of the common people, and of course it is also to win the hearts and minds of the people. In the future, the common people of other countries will listen to them. When we come to us, I will greet Master Wang with a bowl of food.”

Zhou Zhiruo also lived at the bottom of the year, and he deeply agreed with his idea: “Yes, now the world is in chaos, and the vast majority of people are faced with various extortionate and miscellaneous taxes. It’s already been miserable, Qingshu, you can think of them, it’s really admirable, I… I like it very much. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com ”

Zhao Min couldn’t help but said sourly: “Anyone who wants fame can do it, but he wants it. If you don’t have face, you can’t get lizi, and if you don’t pay for it, then you won’t have money, grain, and military salaries, and you can only be slaughtered in the disputes between nations. In history, maybe there will be another Song Xianggong.

” ‘It’s solved.’ Song Qingshu explained calmly, “In the past, taxation was ‘capital tax’. How many people paid as many shares of the tax, but often there were only a few people in a family of poor people, and only a dozen people in a gentry’s family. The wealth of the two sides differs by countless grades, and it is unreasonable to calculate taxes and fees based on the number of heads. If the tax is paid according to the number of acres of land, it will not only reduce the burden of the poor people, but also greatly enrich the national treasury. Far more than before.”

Never adding Fu and Tanding into Mu were both made by the Qing Dynasty in history. Although the Qing Dynasty’s treatment of the Han people and its weakness to the Western powers later became an inescapable black spot, it was only from the feudal dynasty. From this perspective, some of its systems were much better than those of many previous dynasties.

In particular, this stall that Yongzheng brought out is really solved. It really solved the stubborn problem of land annexation for thousands of years and the encroachment of national interests by the gentry class. Of course, because of this, the scholar-official class has always had a very bad reputation for Yongzheng. .
