Chapter 2164 Flower dispute (seventy-two)

   In the 105th episode of Dream of Red Mansions, Jin Yiwei came to Ningguo to raid his home.

  The Jia mansion was holding a banquet at the time, and he was still surprised when he heard the servant report that Jia Zheng had nothing to do with Zhao Tangguan, so why did he come too?

   It didn't take long for Tang Guan Zhao to come in with a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be malicious.

   "Stop," said Bonaparte impatiently.

   "What?" she asked impatiently.

   "Will he stay in the place where he was imprisoned all his life?" said Bonaparte.

   "You have to be patient..."

   Before she could finish speaking, he got up.

  Georgianna flicked through the descriptions of everyone's reactions when the sudden change occurred, and began to read what Nick had written.

Comparing European countries, the situation in France is the most similar to that of the Qing court. The fiscal and taxation system of the Qing court was very similar to the "tax-inclusive self-fertilization" system in the 17th and 18th centuries. Taxpayers were once criticized as "monsters that should be smashed" because they "Plunder without any punishment", and ultimately the wrath of the French Revolution buried this institution and the French old days.

In contrast, the proportion of British taxation in the same period was higher than that of France, and it was also much higher than that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the four-corner system of the United Kingdom, its superiority first lies in an effective taxation system. Especially compared with the French bonded system, the United Kingdom successfully solved the taxation system. Taxation and Economic Fluctuations.

The inefficiency of taxation makes it necessary for local governments to use various names other than the "One Whip Law" when encountering emergencies such as the military, which is also criticized by the opponents of the "One Whip Law" as "light taxation and hidden taxation." Heavy taxes, levies, and bottomless pits” mode. Under the guise of tribute, corruption and inefficient taxation formed a vicious circle, resulting in overstaffing and bloated institutions. The Ming Dynasty abolished the whip law in the Wanli year, but the Qing Dynasty continued to use it, causing the country to fall into a situation similar to Ningguofu.

  He Shen is somewhat similar to Wang Xifeng, whether it is to discuss the crime or other reforms, it is a temporary solution. The reason for "people's poverty" is not that the taxation is too heavy, but that the low tax rate does not benefit ordinary farmers, but instead encourages large and small landlords to increase exploitation and bureaucrats to impose additional taxes. Supervision from top to bottom is like a cat-and-mouse game. Every level of officials can enrich their own pockets through corruption, and the tax revenue is lost in the middle. Tribute is an efficient tax method, but it cannot become the mainstream tax reform idea.

For example, in the actual implementation process of the issuance of "cultivation licenses", only the rich and bureaucrats with certain strength can obtain the power of land reclamation. , which is another drawback of the "one whip law" that exists in the social structure. Even though Taiwan, which is vast and sparsely populated, is similar to the New World, civilians still cannot obtain production materials like the pioneers in the United States, and have the opportunity to become farmers.

   They will feel that they have been oppressed, so that these people have the motive force to start uprisings, but not the motive force to organize production. Taking people as an example, in order to avoid disputes, the government will conduct a brief review and send people to conduct a survey. After 5 months of announcement, no objection is issued and the application is issued. The application method can be a joint venture or a sole proprietorship.

   There is a syntactical proverb in China: the father owes a debt to the son, and the son owes a debt to the father who does not know it.

When selling the real estate left by his father, mainly the property needs to be confirmed by all the brothers, or the father himself confirms, but Juren is an only son, his father is an outsider, no one has proposed meaning for him during the 5 months of publicity , and the family applying for a license has multiple brothers.

This French proverb is based on the patriarchal and family law systems, and belongs to a relatively primitive social system. The local wealthy clan fought with each other for the water conservancy of irrigated farmland, which is the private fight prohibited by Shang Yang's reform. Contracts were not very effective in dealing with disputes at the time, especially when magistrates had some sort of cooperative relationship with local squires who were familiar with the situation.

  Lin Yuhua exposed the injustice of the government by hanging a lamp, was sent to XJ, and almost died on the road.

  Nick is fortunate that his father was only a notary and not a tax collector, otherwise their family would not be safe and may face the same fate as Lavoisier.

  Georgianna stopped reading here.

   "Why did you stop?" asked Bonaparte.

   "Lavoisier was a taxpayer, but the knowledge he discovered benefited the entire human race, but slandered him..."

   "I know that history," interrupted Bonaparte. "No one will listen to what you just said."

   She said nothing.

   He walked over and flipped a few pages of the book in her hand "Let's start reading from here."

   She bowed her head.

   During the waiting time, Nick has been learning Chinese and political knowledge, and occasionally he will talk about his interview in the capital.

   Once he went to the "Thousand Steps Corridor", where the Sixth Department and the Military Aircraft Affairs Office are located, the east is connected to the right gate of Chang'anmen, and the west is connected to the left gate of Chang'anmen. Before the palace examination, the tribute students who have entered the golden list must gather at the Qianbu Gallery on the left, and then line up to enter the palace and accept the canonization of the emperor. "Dragon Gate".

The right door is the court's rule that every province must sentence the death penalty before the fall every year, but the cases that are not executed are reported to the Ministry of Punishment. These messengers will first gather at the Qianbu Gallery on the west side. It is called "Autumn Trial", so the commoners call it "Humen".

   Left Green Dragon, Right White Tiger, East Green Dragon, West White Tiger.

If you go to the wrong North and choose the wrong Qianbu Gallery, you will have a completely different fate. In the Tang Dynasty, there was also a Thousand Steps Gallery. After retreating from the dynasty, the civil and military officials at that time would give food under the corridor outside the department where they were located, which was called "food under the corridor". .

   In the 102nd episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Mao Banxian calculated a hexagram for Jia Zhen that "the white tiger buries the corpse", maybe he was not talking about You Shi's disease, and the abandoned courtyard after the death of the Yuan concubine.

   I heard someone say that they were raiding the house. In the book, Wang Xifeng opened his eyes and fell to the ground "dead". Jia Zhen called Wang Xifeng the eldest sister, and Jia Rong was also very close to Wang Xifeng. However, she was not really dead, but was put in a prison, and Grandma Liu visited her.

   That day, he planned to go to Qintian Prison in the east. When there was no one around, he secretly took a steamed bun from his arms and ate it, as if he had eaten a meal under the corridor.

   Cao Xi did not treat them badly, and he had meat and wine every day, but for Juren, this meal was undoubtedly a "prison meal".

   "Whether you want to kill or slash, have a good time."

  Nick doesn't want to stay in this yard anymore, if he can, he hopes to return to China.

  If a man has a family and land, he can take out the money in the bank, dig a pit, and bury it in the yard, just like in the story of "There is no silver here for three hundred taels".

   But he didn't have it, so he could only put it in the bank.

  Nick's father once asked him when he could be a responsible person.

   Nick replied at the time: I'm not ready to take responsibility for anyone, but I promise you that when I'm ready, I'll fight for her and never give up.

   "Why 'she' and not 'he'?" said Bonaparte, very unhappy.

   She really didn't know how to explain it.

   If she couldn't explain it, she didn't explain it, and she continued to read the following content.
