From mid to late March to early April, the substantive content of the government's governance was promulgated by orders from the Chongguo government and the Privy Council to Jiangning, the Jianghuai region, and Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei and other places directly controlled by Jiangning. Gradually unveil the veil...

Except for Qin Chengzu, Gao Zongting, Sun Jingtang, Yang Yihang of the Military Staff, Zhou Pu, Zhao Hu, and Jingjiang Naval Division Ge Cunxiong, and Cao Ziang of the Army High Command School, all the battalions are commanders, all armies and cavalry town division commanders.

Another public meeting is set up, so that the senators can attend the deliberations. In addition to the 22 military advisors and political advisors in the Jiangning Office, 11 were selected from the Lin clan, the Privy Council, the Military Staff Department and the newly established Chongxue Hall, making a total of 33 members. Title, the formation of the government meeting to decide on the new policy, the new system.

The meeting of the government was placed under the government and above the military staff and the Privy Council. Lin Tingli resigned from the official positions of the Zuo Fudu censor and other officials to preside over the meeting of the government.

There is Chongxueguan under the Guogongfu, Lin Fu, Jiang Yue, Ge Siyu, Song Shixian lead Chongxueguan bachelors, and twenty-four people including Sun Dalu and Wu Jiye are Chongxueguan bachelors.

********************

The government's new policies were gradually released, which naturally caused a lot of discussion in Jiangning City, and in the summer season in April, it became more and more hot and uncomfortable.

The pavilion has changed several owners, but after Xie Chaozhong was defeated and died, it finally returned to the hands of Yongchang Houfu.

It’s just that the Yongchang Marquis’s mansion has also risen and fallen for many years. The old marquis returned to the government in Henan, and was the last territory controlled by the imperial party; Yuan Jinqiu, who had a bad relationship with his father for many years, took the title of nobility. The operation of Fanlou has made the Fanlou repeat prosperity in Jiangning City.

Zhao Shuhan and Zhang Yubo climbed the steps and climbed the building, listening to the scholars in the front hall talking loudly: "Who is Jiang Yueqi? The nephew and son-in-law of former Prime Minister Chen Xinbo, when he was weak, he entered the high school Jinshi department and joined the Sitianjian to supervise the construction of the armillary sphere. He was the first person in the astronomy of the dynasty to reform the calendar. Who was Ge Siyu? The son of Ge Fu, the grandfather of craftsmen and craftsman, was the first to work in the Jiangning Ministry of Industry, supervising the construction of seawalls, transmission and testing. The astrology sent the ship to the far sea, and because of his merit, he was transferred to the minister of the Ministry of Industry. These two were awarded the University of Chongxueguan, and we are convinced, but this Song Shixian is not well-known. How can he be ranked with Jiang and Yue? "

Zhao Shuhan and Zhang Yubo looked at each other. Unexpectedly, the people in this hall would argue about the name of Chongxueguan Grand Scholar. They slowed down and continued to listen.

"...If you want to say who else can be ranked with Jiang and Yue, there is no one else except Zhao Shuhan," someone else said in the hall, "I think Zhao Shuhan has been teaching in Hekou Bamboo Hall for ten years. Confused, without his merits, how could Zaxue flourish in Jiangning? Without his merits, how could the Craftsman's Book be compiled? Only with the compilation of the Craftsman's Book and ten years of work, he would have to rank with Jiang and Yue, both of you. It's not fair to say whether the government has done this."

When Zhao Shuhan heard this, his heart was mixed with five flavors, and it had a taste of overturning the river.

Song Shixian was not well known, but Lin Fu listed him with Jiang Yue and Ge Siyu, so Zhao Shuhan naturally knew him. Speaking of which, in his early years, he was also a depressed and unsatisfactory official in the Jiangning Ministry of Industry.

As far as Zhao Shuhan knew, Song Shixian got Lin Fu's attention because he was proficient in various Thai and Western studies, and second, he created the method of refining in the alchemy technique passed down from the previous dynasty. It is said that the blue dye used on a large scale by the Huaidong Weaving and Dyeing Institute and the light kerosene used for the glazed lamps are all his achievements.

Of course, Song Shixian may have other achievements, but they are all military secrets strictly prohibited by the Privy Council and the military from leaking to the outside world, and they are not known to Zhao Shuhan.

At the beginning when it was rumored that Lin Fu would set up the Chongxue Museum, Zhao Shuhan thought that Lin Fu would invite him to the museum, and he also thought silently about several words of rejection in his heart. It was Zhao Shuhan's firm wish years ago, but it was really forgotten in the corner. I couldn't help but feel lost.

After more than 20 years of ups and downs, Zhao Shuhan suddenly felt sad, pitiful and heartbroken.

"I was thinking about Brother Yubo and Brother Shuhan coming here!" Yuan Jinqiu watched Zhao Shuhan and Zhang Yubo climb the stairs, bowed a long bow, and smiled and invited them to go upstairs to the private room to drink tea, and meet with the outside hall. Staggered, but not embarrassing each other for the arguing gentlemen to see them.

Yuan Jinqiu is also an embarrassing figure. He is out of tune with the imperial party, and even had a very antagonistic relationship with his father and brother in his early years, but he is the son of Yuan Guizheng, an isolated minister of the imperial family. Those old Yuan Yue officials and Jiang Ning scholars who were watching the situation could not integrate into the government for a while, but they didn't want to have anything to do with the imperial party. .

Zhang Yubo and Zhao Shuhan resigned from their official positions, and their leisure time was in Jiangning, and they were not compatible with each other. They could only get together with Yuan Jinqiu. Every day, in addition to writing books, they came to Fanlou to listen to the gentry discussing current affairs to pass the time.

Fanlou is one of the 24 places designated by the Secretary of Xuanzheng to sell Xuanzheng Dibao in Jiangning. Apart from Zhang Bang’s announcement, Xuanzhengdibao is one of the limited ways for the citizens and gentry to understand the current situation.

Every time the new issue of Xuanzheng Palace is on sale, the building will become a place for gentry to discuss, and the Secretary of Xuanzheng can't help it.

"It was first rumored that the Duke's government wanted to revive the new policies, and there would be a lot of discussion at the time. Right and wrong would breed; but after seeing all these new policies, the situation of the country's government governing the world's military and government cannot be changed, right?" Yuan Jinqiu waited for Zhao Shuhan and Zhang Yubo Come over for a small gathering, the new tea has been brewed long ago, and the pot is filled for the two of them. "But the new order issued by the Privy Council three days ago, such as the reduction and exemption of the land tax, such as the number of points per acre, may cause some disputes?"

Zhang Yubo sighed softly and said: "The government promulgated by the government has many people who violate the old system and innovate, and it is indeed against the concept of the people of the time; but the power of the world is nothing but money and military affairs. Protecting financial rights. When Lin Fu first entered Jiangning, he would see these two things more thoroughly than anyone else. With these two, the imperial family can be changed, but the old system and patriarchal law cannot be changed? The tax difference law is a good law, and if it is used in the old days, it may cause a big dispute; but it is difficult to cause a dispute at this time!"

The tax difference method of piling into mu and traveling per mu is a new tax policy implemented uniformly by Lin Fu after he established the Taxation Department under the Privy Council.

The core of the new tax policy is to apportion the current land tax, small tax and various head-to-head allocations to the small households, all of which are apportioned into the fields for accounting and then to be reduced or exempted uniformly.

After the household owns less than 40 acres of land, the amount of land tax paid by the farmer will be reduced to the level before Qingyu Nian, which can reduce about two-thirds of the burden at this time.

The amount of land owned by a household is between 40 mu and 300 mu, and the land tax payment is reduced to the level before the eighth year of Chongguan, which can reduce the burden by about half.

For households with more than 300 acres of land, the three additional levies since the first year of Yongxing will be deducted, and the burden will be reduced by about a quarter.

However, from then on, no matter the public, nobles, nobles, merchants, soldiers, scholars, scholars, and scholars, all of them have their share of acreage, and they have to pay land tax and city business tax in accordance with the law. privilege.

After the stalls enter the mu, the national land tax will form a three-level tax difference. The lowest mu tax will be 20 to 1, and the highest will be 10 to 1, and the difference will be doubled.

In the Privy Council decree, Lin Bie also planned to announce to the world: "When the pirates invaded, the poor were displaced, and the rich lost even more severely, and the situation was particularly miserable. Therefore, everyone thought about governance, established officials, and set up an army to protect the country; However, the poor do not think that they have less income and less to lose. I don’t know how many people go to the battlefield and throw their heads and shed their blood. How many rich people are there on the battlefield? Therefore, this tax adjustment, the poor will be spared more, and the rich will be spared less! "

Based on this, Lin Fu made a final decision and established a new tax policy that would allow farmers to enter the fields and the tax difference per mu, so that those who had no land would not be taxed, those who had less land would be less taxed, and those who had more mu would be levied more.

The top ten taxation of land tax is also the evil result of the increasing wars in the late Chongguan period and the frequent tax increases. In any case, this time, the three additional levies since Emperor Yongxing took the throne can be reduced. Those big landowners who own more than 300 acres of land can only complain about Emperor Chongguan, but they cannot complain that the Privy Council does not give them a reduction or exemption at this time.

Of course, Zhao Shuhan, Zhang Yubo, and Yuan Jinqiu are all proficient in political affairs. Naturally, they can see at a glance that the new tax policy is intended to curb land mergers. The impact of the new tax policy is that the new tax policy will completely abolish the royal family, nobles and gentry. duty-free privilege.

Of course, in the past, the landowners were able to spread the newly added taxes to the tenants, and the nobles and gentry of the clan openly concealed the fields and small households in order to evade taxes, but this time, Lin Fu used the tax bureau led by Li Shuyi to It will take two to three years to thoroughly check the fields and households in the world.

In the early stage of the Battle of Jingxiang, Lin Fu made a promise to make up officials and invited scholars from all over the world to join the army. There were three thousand scholars before and after to join the army. After the Battle of Jingxiang, these three thousand scholars were admitted to the Agricultural and Political Academy for training, and they were successively recruited as officials in Zhejiang, Dongmin, Jianghuai, Jinghu, Xianghu, Jiangxi and other places, but nearly half of the scholars will be there. After training, they will be directly assigned to the newly established taxation department to participate in this inspection of fields and small households.

Although the complete abolition of privileges such as tax exemption is a blow to the entire gentry class, but the three thousand scholars hired by the Privy Council this time, they can replace the officials, which is itself a kind of compensation. Furthermore, these scholars who have devoted themselves to the military are either enthusiastic young people who are dedicated to saving the nation, or scholars who have a hard life and have an urgent desire to supplement officials and become officials, so they support the new tax policy far more than*.

In Jianghuai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Ehu and other places, there were only 70,000 to 80,000 scholars before the war, regardless of clans and honors. If the world is at peace, the implementation of such a subversive new tax policy will inevitably be met with frantic opposition and protests, but the Privy Council order was issued three days ago. There was not much of a stir in the city.

"People's minds are governed. It hasn't been two years since Jiangning's city was destroyed. Who would like to experience the city's ruins again?" Zhao Shuhan sighed softly. He knew that mind control was one aspect. , Jiangning City Destroyed Jiangning's traditional gentry forces to a particularly severe extent, and then look afar, how many places in this world have not experienced war and have not been devastated?

To say there are voices of opposition, apart from the inside of Huaidong, the imperial party and those old officials who are watching, afraid of cleaning Huaidong, how many people dare to stand up and try Huaidong's knife at this time?

Before the frequent introduction of the New Deal, Lin Fu strangled more than 400 war criminals at Nanchengkou at a time, and then handed over the remains to the medical school for autopsy in lieu of Ling Chi's punishment - the scene of more than 400 war criminals being strangled together is quite shocking. Who knows if Lin Fu will use this method on opponents?

If there is any opposition, it can only be from within Huaidong. At present, there are conditions and the ability to acquire land on a large scale~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Only the people of Huaidong, once Lin binds the Yuanyue and establishes the dynasty, the Lin family and Huaidong generals will definitely become the new royal family and the honorable group— - The new tax policy implemented by Lin Fu is to forcefully suppress land mergers for the purpose of rent, rent, and profit, while the land can not be bought and sold, and also to abolish the future that the Lin clan and Huaidong generals can enjoy as the royal family and the noble group. economic privilege.

Why is there no objection within Huaidong?

Take a look at the heads of the colonial merchants Yinzhuang, Huaidong Bank, Nanyang Shipping Society, Heishuiyang Shipping Society, and Song Fu, Lin Mengde, Lin Xuwen and other important officials in Huaidong are listed as ministers of state affairs and ministers. After the Battle of Jingxiang, Lin Fu handed over 80,000 of the 140,000 prisoners of war directly to the Nanyang Shipping Society and the Heishuiyang Shipping Society to be responsible for exiling them overseas for hard labor. Those newly emerging factories in Jiangning and Huaidong, as well as the mines scattered in various prefectures and counties that are owned by the state government and under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council Mining Supervision Department, are the real interests of the people of Huaidong.

The land owned by the Lin family has long been converted into the principal of the bank, the shipyard and many new factories; the Song family attached to Huaidong, and even converted millions of acres of land into the bank at a price of 4 million taels, and at this time, they took out the money. The same goes for Chen Huazhang of the Department of Xuanzheng; the forces attached to Huaidong, such as Hu Wenmu and Zhang Han, must also be dealt with in accordance with this example and given some compensation...

Yuan Jinqiu thought that the New Deal would cause some disputes, but that was because he didn't see Huaidong thoroughly enough. Zhao Shuhan and Zhang Yubo's relationship with Huaidong has fluctuated over the years, and they are probably the people who know the Zhundong system the most outside of the Huaidong people.

The new system of piling stalls into mu, the tax difference between fields and mu, and the privilege of exempting nobles from taxation and servitude is actually a step for Lin Fu to prevent the people of Huaidong from going back to the old way. This step cannot even be delayed until the Northern Expedition is successful and the new dynasty is established. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
