"The tax that the emperor wants to collect is posted everywhere in the capital. It is obviously only three cents more for one mu of land. Why do you charge two cents more?"

"The emperor said that taxes are only for those who have fields. Why is it that the land is clearly owned by Liu Caizhu's family, and his family does not collect it, but instead collects taxes from those tenant farmers?"

"There is only one scholar in Liu's family, and only one person can be exempted from the job. Why should he be exempted from all taxes?"

In the measurement of silver in the Dayan Dynasty, 1 tael is equal to 10 coins, equal to 100 points, and equal to 1000 cents.

Somewhere in the Central Plains, a young man spoke righteously to the tax collector.

"Clap" greeted him with a whip!

"Let you distort the holy will, what we say is the king's law!" the tax collector said fiercely.

The boy was drawn and rolled all over the floor.

If it weren't for the crowds around, many people looked at the tax collector fiercely, and it was normal to be beaten to death.

"Tell you, what the emperor stipulated is the official tax of the emperor's grain, and what we charge is the extra pie. How can we not pay money for building roads and embankments every year? Men don't charge extra pie, how can we eat and drink?"

"Why didn't Liu Yuanwai's family accept it? That's because Liu Yuanwai's family donated money to the county. Did you donate it?"

The tax collector's mouth is full of birds. Anyway, the countryman is short-sighted.

The young man was helped up, clenching his teeth so as not to cry.

He can't cry, as taught by the **** dog teacher, a man does not shed tears when he bleeds, and tears only flow at home.

Although he only studied for a few months, the gains in those few months are far more than what he has learned in a lifetime.

He learned arithmetic, learned a lot of common sense, added a lot of knowledge, and could see how the tax collectors behaved.

Liu Yuanwai bribed the officials to count his fields on the poor peasants. The fish scale book recorded that all the land belonged to the poor peasants, but he also had a clear title deed in his hand, and he would definitely not win the lawsuit.

Besides, how could the common people go to the county seat to file a lawsuit?

This is the two-layered skin. When the tax is paid, the land will be transformed into a poor peasant; when the rent is collected, the land will be transformed again, and it will belong to Liu Yuanwai.

He heard the **** dog say that this is called "Schrödinger's land", and who it is, can only be determined when the box is opened.

"Give you one more day, and you must hand over your debts this year! Otherwise, all of you will be pulled to stand in the cage!" The fierce tax collector said to the crowd.

At night, in the village ancestral hall.

The teenager is sitting with a group of adults.

"I've been dreaming these days. I've seen the northwest, and the officials there dare not yell at the common people, because they really dare to rebel!" A strong man said bitterly.

"But they still turned against it, because there has been drought for years, and even if you don't pay the emperor's food, you can't survive, not to mention the common people, even the officials can't survive." Another person said.

"We still have some food to eat here. They know that we don't dare to rebel, so they bully us!"

"Damn, let's go against it!" Everyone said.

At this moment, a voice sounded: "You don't want to be squeezed by the officials, and I don't want to be deceived by the officials. Are you willing to serve me?"

This is the voice of the emperor.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally thought that only Xiaomin, only relying on Xiaomin, officials dared not deceive him.

His fortress is still deep enough, which can be seen from the fact that he has strengthened the factory position since he took office.

He never really trusted his courtiers.

He understands the way of balance of power, so there has never been a powerful minister.

It was only with the increasing number of rebellions that military lords began to appear.

"You are the emperor?" Everyone knelt down immediately.

Including teenagers.

The dramas that everyone has seen since childhood, as well as the stories of the storytellers, are all because the emperor is wise, and they are all bewitched by the ministers.

Or is there a saying of "Qingjun's side"?

Everyone believes that the grievances of Tianda, as long as they go to the imperial court

"It's me, you're right, I have mercy on the people, how can I charge such a high tax? The decree issued by the imperial court is good, and it is these corrupt officials who preyed on it, which made you suffer..."

…………

With the help of Xiawang, the emperor spent a month to establish a new tax system in the Zhili area around the imperial city.

[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Mimi to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by both Android and Apple. 】

The original tax collectors were cut, and the county magistrate was no longer responsible for taxation. Instead, the common people paid taxes and silver directly in their dreams, and then went to the designated treasury to pay taxes in reality.

He was fortunate that he had the factory guards firmly in control, and there were a few powerful troops who listened to his words.

Without these, his measures could not be implemented at all, and I am afraid that in the palace, he would die of a sudden illness.

He would like to thank the factory guards left by his ancestors for helping him fight against ministers. After Dayan founded the country, there has been no official minister.

No matter how powerful a minister is, an edict will be won.

It is because the factory guard only listens to the emperor.

Two months later, the first tax came up.

Compared with the same period of previous years, a full increase of one million taels of silver!

You must know that at this time in previous years, only 200,000 taels of silver were paid.

Five times more at once!

At the same time, the burden of the common people has also been greatly reduced, and the small and medium-sized landlords are also very happy.

Because they are also the main objects to be apportioned.

Only the big landowners, the big country gentry, are eligible for tax exemption and burden transfer.

Where did the extra money come from?

From the mouths of the officials ~lightnovelpub.net~ the emperor thought of an important place, the salt tax!

The salt tax is only 2 million taels per year, and if it is increased fivefold, it will be 10 million taels!

This can cancel the three rates!

The emperor decided to start with the salt tax.

But the salt tax is not a good start.

Because there are many martial arts factions that rely on the salt tax to eat, such as the Caoshui faction, the famous Jianmen...

They are all sects who rely on selling salt for a living. Their martial arts skills are extremely high, and those with low martial arts skills do not dare to eat this bowl of rice. They are robbed on the way.

Coupled with the salt merchants and officials in the middle, it is a mess.

In the past, it was impossible to sort it out. Just thinking about it would make people give up on rectifying the salt tax.

But now it is different. With Xiawang, the emperor can clearly see the stakes, how many people there are, and who is in charge.

Which faction you can win over and which faction you can attack can be seen from Xia Wang.

For example, the famous sects can be attracted, their appetite is not too big, and they have to take care of their skin, they are still in awe of the court and the emperor.

It's just superficial awe, but it's enough.

Fight those salt merchants first, although they have raised some experts and servants, after all, the background is not deep, they belong to fat.

Then there are the yamen officials.

The main force is the kitchen households and the small merchants selling salt. They suffer too much and are the most capable of fighting.

In the past, the emperor did not dare to use them.

But with Xiawang, the emperor realized that they were the ones who supported the emperor the most.

Because the emperor is far away from them, distance produces beauty.

The people they hated most were the salt merchants and officials around them. Click to download this site APP, massive novels, free to read!
