Vol 2 Chapter 1081: boiling

"This is a mess!"
"It won't work like this!"
"Is your Majesty deceived? If this continues, the Liu family will fall apart."
A group of clan families, gathered together, murmured.
"Your Majesty's trick is too harsh! If you continue to do it like this, regardless of fame or honor, regardless of whether the royal family members have land under their name, even if there is only one acre of land, they must pay taxes. Your Majesty, did you get into the eyes of money?"
"In all dynasties, I have never heard of high-ranking officials paying taxes."
"I heard that the property under the name of Empress Empress has been paying taxes since its establishment."
"The property of Shaofu, since the second year of his majesty's accession to the throne, seems to be paying taxes."
"The Shaofu pays taxes? Hahahaha... it's nothing more than switching from the left hand to the right. Empress, huh, can she be the same?"
"That's not what I said. The emperor and the queen are paying taxes. What qualifications do we have for not paying taxes."
"Ten taxes are not expensive."
"Fart! Is this a ten-tax one problem? This is a matter of principle. From no tax to one tax, let alone ten tax one, even if it is twenty tax one, we must firmly oppose it."
"Yeah, you can't open this hole. This year, ten taxes are one. If I wait until I compromise, who knows what we will make next year."
"What the is going on with those officials in the courtroom? Such an important law has been compromised. Isn't it pretty good to spray it on weekdays? How could this all become dumb?"
"Shhh, don't talk, don't talk."
"There's nothing to say. It's just that those officials who cannibalize people and have short hands. After taking advantage of your majesty and empress, of course you have to control your mouth."
"The group of officials in the court, all the special ones are all counselors."
The clans were able to scold vigorously, and did not dare to scold the emperor and empress loudly, and specifically caught the official curse.
Some excited people led a group of small servants to throw dung on the official gate.
Official: "..."
mmp, is this his pot alone?
He could not decide such a big matter alone.
He was still aggrieved in his heart.
What's the point of splashing manure.
Some people have publicly criticized the court in the newspapers, believing that the court officials are fooling around.
When someone criticizes, some people stand up and support it.
Shanhe College unswervingly supports the new land laws.
Despite this law, it is also harming their interests.
In the past, as long as they were admitted to the fame, they could be exempt from tax and corvee.
As long as you have money, you can buy any land. If others want to contribute, it will be done after receiving.
Be cruel, you can accumulate a large amount of family business in less than ten or eight years.
Anyway, the land is tax-free.
Not now.
Even if you have fame, you still have to pay taxes.
Ten taxes are very small, but you still have to pay taxes.
If you buy more land, you must double the tax.
After all, the new law harms the interests of scholars and dignitaries.
Those who wrote articles in newspapers criticizing the court were mostly scholars.
Some people oppose the students of Shanhe Academy, and some agree.
Surprisingly, the majority of people who approve of the new land laws turned out to be.
This group of people wrote articles every day in the newspapers for the court, and waved for the emperor and empress, as if they became little fans of the emperor and empress.
The lip-fights in the newspapers are fierce, you come and I meet.
Xiaomin from the market is happy.
Happy!
Excited!
This time, don't care about scholars, landlords and gentry, they won't be fooled.
They could clearly see the big ten taxes.
Even if you don't know the words, there are folks from Sihai Meat and Vegetable Shop to help explain.
Throughout the dynasties, the land tax rate was basically ten tax three. In the years of war, there are ten taxes and four taxes.
With the addition of local apportionment, the burden is even heavier.
This is the treatment of self-employed farmers.
The tenants have to pay the tax and the tenants. The food that fell on hand in the end, I am afraid that there are not two Chengdu.
Moreover, with the high land price, land rent also tends to rise.
In some places, 50%, even 60%, or 70% of renters have appeared.
If this is to promote the world, tenants will not live.
The new land law promulgated by the imperial court only requires ten taxes and one item, and it is firmly supported by the people of the world.
Streets and alleys, small merchants and hawkers, now they meet to ask if they have eaten, but if they know the ten taxes and one?
"I know, I know! I heard that it was your majesty and the empress who pressed the court masters and forcibly promulgated this law."
"Your Majesty and the Empress are thinking about waiting for Xiaomin in their hearts."
"Long live your majesty and the queen empress."
"That gang of scholars scolds in the newspaper every day, so why don't the people in the newspaper department care."
"What's the matter. I didn't see that the people who scolded were the officials in the court, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
"What is the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
"Should be regarded as the yamen for the emperor and the empress."
"Ah? Are there any yamen that specialize in backing the pot?"
"No one is back, do you want your Majesty and Empress to take responsibility?"
"That can't, that can't."
"From now on, studying as an official is like our group of people, all of whom have to pay taxes. My heart, haha, is happy for several days."
"I have to pay taxes when I study the imperial examination. Who wants to study the imperial examination after that?"
"Don't look at that group of scholars shouting so badly. Those who should study the imperial examination still have to study the imperial examination. It's not just a little tax, ten taxes can have a lot. If you don't read, you can only have 100 acres under your name, and if you exceed 100 acres Ten tax five, even ten tax six..."
"The highest ten taxes are nine!"
"That is to say! One hundred acres will limit the number of people. Unless you study and test the imperial examination, or serve as soldiers to earn credit, you can break through the one hundred acres limit."
"As long as you get a Jinshi, you can own ten ares, ten taxes and one tax, and ten people can be cute. Such a good thing, do you think those scholars can refuse the imperial examination?"
"In the future, there will only be more and more people in the imperial examination, not less and less."
"That's right. Anyone with a little family background will send their children to school."
"Why is this?"
"Because just having money without fame, you can only be like me and other people, one hundred acres of land per person. For a rich master, this land is not enough. If you want to get land with ten taxes and one tax, The children in the family must be urged to study. Even if it is just a scholar of fame, you can get an extra 200 acres of land with ten taxes."
"It makes sense, it makes sense. It won't work if you don't read books in the future!"
"If you don't study, you can only guard one hundred acres of land, and more than one acre will be taxed heavily."
"In this way, wouldn't it be impossible to open up wasteland at will."
"Didn't you read the law? The newly reclaimed land can be sold to the government, and the government will buy it at the market price of 20%. The 20% of the overflow is hard work."
"It's about the same."
"No matter how the scholars are making trouble, the new law really benefits the people, and the Eight Classics are just waiting for the little people."
"That's right."
"Ten taxes and one tax can live a lot of people."
"When there is a reduction in production, there is no need to sell children or girls to sell land."
"Yes! The warehouse at home can be full one day."
"Do you have a warehouse? Rich people!"
"I'm not thinking about the ten tax one, which can save a lot of food. In previous years, I didn't have to eat in the months when the green and yellow were absent. The ten tax was one, and the months when the green and yellow were absent would definitely be eaten."
"That makes sense."
"When the spring starts next year, I will know if there will be food left."
"The law has been implemented since the first day of August, and the court is considering the autumn harvest. With the autumn harvest, everyone's burden will be reduced a lot this year."
"Some government officials want to harvest autumn grain before the first day of August and make a fortune. Don't be fooled."
"Thank you for reminding!"
...
Wang Xuecheng brought a drink to look for Yan Ci.
"Brother Yan still has a vision. Back when you said that you didn't want to collect the land from the villagers for donations, then I thought you were unreasonably worried. Now I see that Brother Yan is thoughtful."
Yan Ci touched his thin-haired head, a little worried.
"Brother Wang, don't praise me. I am very sad now."
"Why worry?"
"Although I haven't accepted the land donated by the villagers, my family has bought a lot of land with money over the years, which has exceeded the ten tax per mu set by the court."
Wang Xuecheng was taken aback for a moment, "Brother Yan has a reputation for being a man, he can own five acres of land under his name, ten taxes and one tax, and how many people can be spoiled. Has the land under your family's name exceeded this number?"
Wang Xuecheng was surprised.
Yan Ci smiled bitterly and nodded, "I went home a few days ago and turned over the land deeds of the family. Only then did I know that the family members have successively bought about 80 hectares of land with money over the years, nearly twice as high as the standard."
Wow!
Eighty hectares is 8,000 mu, and just buying land would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.
"Brother Yan really has money."
"Brother Wang, don't make fun of me. I am now worrying about what to do with the extra land."
"Why bother. The law stipulates that there is a three-year postponement period for land bought and sold in the past. Within three years, your land will remain the same."
"Brother Wang is really laughing at me. The law stipulates that, in our case, the ten-tax-one part of the land can continue to be tax-free within three years. The excess land will have to be taxed at the tax rate and ten-tax one. Wait until three years. When it ends, the excess land will be heavily taxed."
"Ten taxes and one. This is not a burden for Brother Yan."
Yan Ci wiped his face, "Brother Wang, these lands used to be tax-free."
Wang Xuecheng opened his mouth, recovered, and patted his head, "I am confused! Seeing that the autumn harvest season is approaching, what is Brother Yan going to do?"
"Surely you can't sell land at this time."
"That's it. When buying land at this time, someone must take the opportunity to lower the price. There will always be someone who can eat a lot of land."
Yan Ci shook his head, "Brother Wang still hasn't seen the famous hall inside. The final result of the promulgation of this law is the official mansion, which can also be said to be the Shao Mansion, which will become the largest landlord in the world. Look, the next few years , A lot of land will fall into the hands of Shaofu."
Wang Xuecheng was a little dazed, he was not smart, he really didn't want to understand the twists and turns in it.
He asked without shame, "Is this good or bad?"
