New Story of Lv Bu

: : New Taxation Policy (Part 2)

In addition to clarifying the governance of officials, strengthening performance appraisal, and removing accumulated frauds, the biggest change in this new taxation policy is the three things.

These three new measures were proposed by Da Sima Lubu just when he settled in Luoyang. They discussed with Hu Cao Zhu Wang Wei, Da Sinong Zhao Qi and Shao Fu Xun You on a small scale, and in some counties The county tried it out. There are already effective methods and measures, which were put forward in the court meeting. According to Zhao Qi and Xun You's ideas, it should be a matter of course. Unexpectedly, it caused an uproar, and the court officials objected one after another. The most violent attitudes were Tai Lieutenant Shi Guo Jia and Situ Wang Yun.

The reason why the civil servants have such a fierce attitude is because these three new policies have greatly damaged their interests. Naturally, the actual reason cannot be said in the open. As a result, the big guy had to find other reasons. Wang Situ believed that the San Tiao'er New Deal was very good, but the current major enemy should be the unity of the family and the family. Don't make enemies everywhere. Today's major issue is how to deal with the all-out attack by the Allied Army of Chao Lu. If you can't win this battle, everything is for nothing. Let's let it go.

The phrase "Let it go, let it go" was said, which made the civil and military officials understand it and applauded. In the officialdom of this dynasty, there is a set of conventional language, and the phrase "let it go" is one of them. "Let it go" may be really let go, or it may be let go, and never mention it ever since. All in all, in short, the magic of application is one-minded.

Most of the civil and military officials belonged to aristocratic families who had a lot of fertile land. They were military nobles and Confucian scholars who had fought for several years with Da Sima. They also owned hundreds to hundreds of acres of fertile land under their names. The Qingliu secretly figured out what Wang Situ meant, probably just let it go, and never mention it again. After all, Da Sima is under one person and above ten thousand people. His position is noble. Even if everyone is not happy, his words and deeds are related to the face of the court. Even if everyone is not happy, "put it down" first, it is also a problem. What it should be.

Compared with Wang Situ's old man, Guo Jia is still a young man in his twenties, and he still has a vigor in his heart that he is not afraid of tigers when he is born with a calf. "This matter is definitely not feasible, why? Emperor Guangwu has gone through hardships and finally covered the world. In the final analysis, he shared the world with the family. Da Sima's move was to cut off the back of the family. Just now, It's really inappropriate!"

As soon as Guo Jia said this sentence, everyone was shocked. The general rule of the officialdom in this dynasty is to take face into consideration. Even if the heart is dissatisfied, it is necessary to find a good-sounding reason to talk about it. It is rare in a century to be so disregarded as Guo Fengxiao. Da Sima Lubu was not angry, but just smiled and announced that he would discuss another day, so this time Xun You and Guo Jia had a meal. Xun You is Guo Jia's old friend, and we met today to try to persuade Guo Jia.

When Guo Jia took the initiative to bring up the matter, Xun You knew that an opportunity had come. He poured Guo Jiaman a bottle of wine in his spare time, and also poured himself a full bottle. Then, he raised his drink, drank it, and said with a smile: "Fengxiao, since you're here, we'll have to argue with each other. We don't know why. To clarify the management of officials, strengthen performance appraisal, and remove accumulated abuses. Are you okay."

"No. What I insist on is to share the world with the family, not with the common people." Guo Jia raised the wine and drank it, with fine beads of sweat coming out of his face. "This is the rule of sharing food into acres, the consumption of fire to the public, and the government and the gentry to pay for the grain. You must have read it carefully. Then we will stroke them one by one. Let's start with this."

Xun You put down the wine cup, clamped a chopsticks, and chewed the venison carefully. Only then did Xun You slowly argue.

The so-called apportionment of the enthusiasm into acres is a combination of taxes and labor, combining land taxes and various kinds of servitudes and expropriating them together, and at the same time sharing part of the burden of the berlinies into the fields. Changed the old service according to households and households to apportion according to the number of households and grains; except for the government's need to collect rice and wheat, all the tax and service burdens will be discounted by two in cash; farmers and all kinds of laborers can contribute money for labor and labor. The government hired people to take care of it; the tax collection was directly handled by the local officials, and the original "people's collection and the people's solution" system that used the grain chiefs and the chiefs to handle the collection and dismissal of the taxes and services was abolished and replaced by the "government's closure and government's solution" system. In a word, it is to simplify the tax system, accept only currency, and eliminate private pockets.

The specific method is divided into three steps. The first step is to clear the land, expand the collection area, and make the taxation relatively even, and the second step is to unify the taxation, restrict harsh disturbance, and stabilize the taxation. Three steps, counting acres of silver, and closing the official account, make the expropriation method more complete. It must be said that although these three steps are difficult to sit up, they are indeed effective once and for all.

"Fengxiao, Qingzhang land, will be held by three people from the military, the Imperial College, Capital University Hall, and the local high-ranking seniors. In addition, Yushi Zhongcheng Xu Shu and Si Wencao will also send people to make unannounced visits to ensure that this Qingzhang land The fairness of justice. Once it is discovered that there is a favoritism, Da Sima has issued a strict order, regardless of the serious crime, must fall to the ground, in order to curb the example."

Xun You put down the wine cup, looked at Guo Jia steadily, and said slowly. "Gongda, I agree with Guo Jia with both hands on this matter! The country is so difficult to use, almost to the point where the lamp is exhausted, and there are people who conceal the land and evade taxes. It is really time to decapitate the land! A lot of concealed land will definitely be found, which will greatly increase the country’s tax revenue."

"Feng Xiao's remarks are great! Be a big white!" Xun You smiled comfortedly. He was seventeen years older than Guo Jia, and Guo Jia looked like a younger brother. "The taxation of this dynasty is paid by the land, and the military service and military service are collected by the households. In addition to the tax and service, there are many additional items such as fangs and tributes. After the implementation of the taxation into the acres, all are reduced to One. The tax is attributed to the field and expropriated by acres; the labor force is changed to the hired service, and the government hires people to replace it. In this way, the taxation and service will be unified, and it is difficult for officials at all levels to use their names to enrich their private pockets. Therefore, Cong The disadvantages will be cleared up. The taxation is extremely simple and can be seen at a glance, and the burden on the ordinary people will be lighter. According to the results of the trial, although the fire consumption is unavoidable, it can reduce 30 to 40%. "

"Furthermore, all taxes and errands are changed to levy currency, which is also conducive to the promotion of the new currency system. Binzhou Five Baht and Binzhou Gold and Silver Coins are of excellent color, so the so-called "color folding" is also saved, and it is also invisible. The burden on the common people is lightened. The tax collection classes will no longer be handled by the chief of the resident and the chief of grain. Instead, they will be collected directly by the local officials and transferred to the warehouse. The collection of classes is not based on the physical objects, and the transportation and storage fees are saved. Acting on behalf of the collection and settlement will avoid the evil of eroding the contributions. From then on, the tax system is simple and easy to implement, the officials have been relieved of a lot of hard work, and the taxes borne by the ordinary people have been reduced invisibly. Isn't this good governance?"

Guo Jia sat down and nodded heavily, his eyes gleaming brightly. Guo Jia is a firm idealist. He was born for his own ideals. He is not only supreme nor kitsch. The value of his life lies in the pursuit of the truth he believes. Because of this, he has an extremely rare quality in his body, that is, he has the courage to argue, even with his own life.

"Gongda, this stall is well done! I, Guo Jiaju, agree with both hands! I am not a ruthless scholar who only knows poems and paintings. I also know some economics. The head tax has become a land tax, which is bound to relax the household registration. In this way, the civilians who yearn for Peaceful Land will rush to Youzhou, Bingzhou, Sili, and Liangzhou in an endless stream. The population consumed by the Lv Alliance’s war will definitely be compensated, not only So, maybe there will be a significant increase, am I right?"

"Feng Xiao's words are great!" Xun You stretched out the thumb of his right hand. To be honest, he did not expect Guo Jia to see so deeply. It is also one of Da Sima's original intentions to use the policy of sharing acres to make up for the population consumed by the war. "Feng Xiao, there are four benefits of sharing acres of land. There are four benefits: the number of fields will be small, the more fields will be the more ones, and the less fields will be the fewer ones. There is no way to deceive by counting the acres. One of the benefits is that the people have no compensation for the pain. Second, in the year of compilation and review, there is no need for additional audits, and the benefits are three; after each field, all people can’t get in and out of hands, and the benefits are four. There is also a disadvantage, that is, the family will definitely increase the rent. , Transfer taxes to the tenants. Fortunately, the court has various policies on lease loans. If the family members dare to increase the rent, no one will farm them."

"Gongda, this is what I am most worried about. As soon as this plan is implemented, the noble families will immediately become dissatisfied. It should be noted that the world today is the world of the noble families, not the people of the common people. Today is the time. In troubled times, the Han Dynasty was declining, and the heroes competed. In this way, Da Sima did not drive the family to Er Yuan and Cao Cao? I am opposed to Tan Ding Lu Mu. I am not opposed to this policy, but to the time it takes for this policy to be launched. Wait. The overall situation has been determined, and it is best to implement it when the heroes are cut off."

Guo Jia said with an ideal glow on his face. Xun You sighed long, as if there was infinite sadness in his chest. "Hey! If you are not in your position and do not seek political affairs, you do not care about finances after all. Zhao Danong and I are in charge of Shaofu and Dasinong, and we know the financial situation of the court. To be honest, the court was already unable to make ends meet half a year ago. The astronomical daily expenditures for the relief of the victims, the huge military expenditures and the guarantee of the civil and military officials’ salaries, even if there is a golden mountain and a silver mountain, can not stop such a vast expenditure."

"Hey!" Guo Jia was moved, "Is the court finances so difficult? Where does the money come from now?"
