The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

It's not new to share acres with stalls, but essentially comes from the "single whip method".

After the mid-Ming Dynasty, land annexation was serious. Those princes, nobles, officials, scholars above scholars, etc., did not have to pay agricultural taxes. They had tens of millions of acres of fertile land, and they did not receive a penny tax. cross!

The government cannot collect taxes, but desperately squeezes those farmers who do not have the right to tax exemption, which has caused violent social conflicts.

The imperial court saw that it was not the way. The Emperor Jiajing at that time pondered a new method to earn some money and implemented the "One Whip Method". It was proposed by Minister Gui E in the tenth year of Jiajing (1530), but it was difficult to implement.

The first auxiliary Zhang Juzheng was promoted to the whole country in the 9th year of Wanli (1581). The new law stipulates that the land tax, corvee and other miscellaneous levies of all states and counties shall be combined into one, and the sum of silver shall be collected, and the payment shall be converted according to the mu. This greatly simplifies the tax system and facilitates tax collection. At the same time, it makes it difficult for local officials to cheat, thereby increasing fiscal revenue.

This method of Zhang Juzheng continued to life for Ming, the imperial taxation continued to increase, and the treasury was abundant. The history books said that "Taicang Like can spend ten years, and the treasury accumulation fund is four million taels." Great.

But his method offends the vested interests of the whole world and will not have good results.

Zhang Juzheng took the political system and the Donglin Party was madly liquidated. After Zhang Juzheng's death, his family suffered persecution, and his descendants died of starvation!

As for the "one whip method", it is abolished without even thinking about it. When my Dadonglin Party's tax is so easy to collect? !

Therefore, the fighting power of the Donglin Party is terrible, and a group of mad dogs pounced on them, too. Young Master Yan was also afraid, preemptively, and kill the Donglin Party.

As for Yan Changwu’s “single-whip method”, it is a step up from the “one-whip method”. In addition to combining the land tax, corvee and other miscellaneous levies into one, it addresses the drawbacks of the “one-whip method”: Ding Yin ( Head tax) and land tax are still two tax items. Now land mergers have developed to a peak, and there are more and more poor people and landless people. Under such circumstances, the poor farmers will be unable to bear the levy. This not only makes the state’s levy of taxation lose its guarantee, but also causes serious social problems due to farmers’ fear of taxation, exile and migration, and concealment of household registration.

In Southeast Asia, the situation is much better. All the land is owned by the Southeastern Government. The Southeastern Government will hand over the land to small farmers and large plantations for cultivation. If the land is not planted or developed, the land will be recovered, and taxes will be collected on the basis of the land. According to the head, there is no problem of land annexation (similar to the situation in the empire, the land belongs to the country).

The situation in Nanming is different. Yan Changwu cannot confiscate all his fields to carry out land reform, so he simply abolishes the poll tax (D tax) that has been implemented in China for more than two thousand years, and incorporates it into the land tax. With the principle of paying taxes if they have land, those who are poor and landless do not need to pay taxes!

Yan Changwu triumphantly pointed out: "Thanks to acres to put an end to the chaos of land, households, and other taxes, complete the process of merging the poll tax into the property tax, and completely abolish the poll tax since the Western Han Dynasty; The target is land. The government has relaxed its control of household registration and increased a large amount of freely mobile labor force, which promotes the vitality of the commodity economy;

Peasants who have no land and little land are free from the burden of labor, do not have to worry about taxation, and will not rebel. They are no longer forced to be tied to the land, they can go to business and work, which will play a positive role in the development of the society and economy. effect. "

Regarding "fire waste to the public", the income of Ming dynasty officials was not high, and state and county officials could not use it to make ends meet, so there was the so-called "fire waste". Fire consumption, also known as "exhaustion" and "surplus", is a non-statutory surcharge in addition to the positive tax. It also tacitly agrees that the prefectural and county officials will levy two additional taxes in addition to the positive tax.

After receiving this income, local officials in prefectures and counties, in addition to satisfying their own use, paid tribute at various levels to provincial officials, and then became officials of filial piety to the capital, such as "tank kings" and "bing kings".

The imperial court decree was used to surrender the envy to the public, and at the same time, the civil and military officials of the provinces added "silver for cultivating integrity" in addition to their salaries. According to the province's situation, the consumption of every two places of dingyinming plus fire can range from 1 cent to 1 cent. After the consumption of Xianxian was returned to the public, as the government's normal tax revenue, unified classes were collected, kept in the vassal treasury, and appropriate to the province's civilian officials to maintain integrity.

This reform measure has concentrated taxation powers, reduced the people's additional burden, increased the salary of foreign officials, and has a positive effect on rectifying the governance of officials and reducing corruption.

Slap a slap to a date, the specially created Yang Lian Yin has greatly increased the income of officials. For example, the official income of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Xiong Wencan is 400 taels of silver, the income of raising honest silver is as high as 5,000 taels, and the general soldier Gao Jie's official salary is 200 taels. Yanglian silver is 2500 taels of silver.

Even more fierce is the land tax collection. Landlords, large and small under the world, when they see or hear the imperial edict, they all utter desperate wailing.

"The landlord cannot exceed 30% of the tenant's rent!

The agricultural tax is paid according to the land, the tax is one for the door under one hundred acres, the tax is one for 15 to 500 acres, and the tax is one for all taxes over 500 acres!

Except for the sealed Xun Tian, ​​all agricultural taxes are paid! "

Specifically, if a certain prince of Ming Dynasty enfeoffs 10,000 acres of land according to the law, the 10,000 acres will be exempted from agricultural tax, but the remaining prince’s land, for example, 100,000 acres, will be taxed as one tax.

In the past, the prince relied on his power and the government did not dare to collect taxes from him. The 100,000 mu was tax-free, but now it is not tax-free.

In the same way, a certain fan who was in the middle of a life of failure, after the middle of the promotion, others contributed 500 acres of land to him, which was also tax-exempt before, but now it is also inevitable.

Anyway, the fiefs granted by the state to the powerful are exempt from taxation, and all taxes will be levied unless they are sealed.

It is conceivable that this kind of reform is quite violent. Yan Changwu is even stronger than Zhang Juzheng. He completely stands on the opposite side of feudal lords, nobles, officials, and scholars~www.wuxiaspot.com~A pirate leader can do it. What good things come, Yan Changwu is frantic! "

"Isn't this shaking the rule of Ming Dynasty? The southeast official name is Mingchen, and he is really a Ming thief!"

"The surname Yan is not stupid. He did this because he wanted more people to go to Southeast Asia!"

"I miss the Donglin Party!" an official said quietly.

Everyone wakes up, the Donglin Party is a veteran of tax resistance. If they are there, the eruption of saliva can drown the government of the southeast, and if Yan Changwu's artillery is so powerful, it can't stand his saliva.

It's a pity that time can't be turned back, the Donglin Party is no longer there, and everyone regrets the previous short-sightedness!

When the Donglin Party was unlucky before, everyone happily fell into trouble, gloating for misfortune and wanting them to be responsible for the death of the emperor. We are not responsible, how good.

When the Sri Lankan people had gone, they discovered their benefits. Other civilian officials did not have the "combat power" of the Donglin Party!

Down with the Donglin Party!

And then cancel the right of the officials of the Department of Science and Technology to "tell me and tell things".

Everyone couldn't help but feel very chilly, the pirate surnamed Yan's head was so bad that he kept fighting every step of the way to kill everyone!

...

In the quiet room, Yan Changwu and Sun Chengzong sat and drank tea.

It was discovered that Sun Chengzong was negative about the implementation of his three major items, and Sun Chengzong was an indispensable good assistant in the court affairs. Yan Changwu specially asked him to have a heart-to-heart talk to explain his knots.

Sun Chengzong sighed, "Leader, you are a strange person who is born out of the world. Since I followed you, I have spared no effort in implementing your policies, but today, it seems that you have been too hasty with these three major political actions!"

"Yes, the phenomenon of Daming land annexation is extremely serious, but now the new dynasty is set in the beginning, people have a stable mind, and officials have not been fully deployed. It is really unwise to make a big fight!" Sun Chengzong regretted.

Yan Changwu replied in one sentence: "I am on a poor road in the evening, so I can only do it backwards!"
