Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 92 Master Jiang, what bad thoughts can the children have?
"Master must be aware of the current tax package system in Ming Dynasty."

"Every time when the land tax is collected, the squires with a lot of land and great influence are called to the county government, and everyone sits together to drink tea and chat."

"After allocating the scope of the tax package for each squire, the squire will first use the family's grain to pay the court's land tax in one lump sum."

Jiang Jinzhong looked at Zhu Di thoughtfully, and continued: "We save time and effort as officials. The most important thing is that we will never delay the deadline for land tax payment set by the imperial court."

"For officials, the court's mission is very important!"

"Completing the court tasks on time or ahead of schedule not only represents the safety of official career, but also represents political achievements."

Zhu Di nodded.

The squires have enough grain, and dozens of families can join hands to pay all the land taxes in just a few days.

The government does not need to argue with the people.

You know, not every year is smooth sailing.

In the mode of direct collection by the government, it will be very troublesome to call for payment in a bad year.

With the tax package system, there are no such troubles.

The tax package system is equivalent to the fact that the squires bought creditor's rights in packages from the government.

The official has completed the task of collecting taxes.

He also packaged and sold the troublesome debts.

"Master Jiang, in the past, the gentry paid the land tax for the common people. Is there any old grain?" Zhu Di asked.

Jiang Jinzhong was a little embarrassed, and sneered, "Yes, there are old grains from three or four years ago, and there are also grains from one or two years ago. Of course, there will be new grains."

"Mixed together."

"Of course, even if it is old grain, during my two-year tenure in Jiangning County, all old grain must be edible!"

"Sure enough!" Zhu Di shook his head.

The squires used old grain to buy the "creditor's rights" in the hands of the government, which was already taking the creditor's rights at a low price.

You must know that the price difference between old grain and new grain three or four years ago is not small in the market!

The squire bought the creditor's rights at a low price, and turned around to demand the new grain from the common people. Originally, through such an inversion, the old grain accumulated in the family for many years was turned into the new grain of the year.
And in the process of collecting creditor's rights, the squire even paid a premium!
The imperial court set five dou per mu, and the minimum for the squires to pay was six dou per mu, or even higher!
Even the selected food that is not full enough will not be left for the people, and will be taken away!
What kind of chore is this.

It is clearly the most profitable business!
The government's land tax creditor's rights are also the best quality creditor's rights!

This kind of debt has not been available to anyone throughout the ages!

Concentrating his thoughts, Zhu Di turned his head, "Master Jiang, the business of urging land taxes is something that many people like to do."

"No, no, no!" Jiang Jinzhong quickly shook his head, "Mr. Zhu guessed wrong this time. Every year, the country gentry are very reluctant, and the government has to invite the county government to drink tea, eat, and have a good meal before they can settle down!"

Pooh!
If there is a squire in front of him, Zhu Di will directly spray the other party with saliva.

"Master Jiang was deceived!" Fatty Jiang was obviously deceived by the inactivity shown by the squire.

Such a high-quality debt, such a profitable transaction, would these people be unwilling?

Jiang Jinzhong looked at Zhu Di suspiciously.

Zhu Di asked: "Has the tax package been distributed this year?"

Jiang Jinzhong shook his head, "Not yet, I don't want to use the pilot to determine how much fire consumption will be caused by eating horses and chewing horses during the tax collection process, and then set a maximum amount for the squires, so the task of tax collection has not been assigned yet."

Hearing this, Zhu Di looked at Jiang Jinzhong, this fat man is really a good official.

"This year might as well change the way." He said with a smile: "You inform all landlords in Jiangning, big and small, that anyone who owns 150 mu of land can participate in the tax-included auction."

"Bidding?" Jiang Jinzhong looked at Zhu Di puzzled.

"Auctioning is to compete for bids. The best one is selected, and the large debts of more than a dozen villages in the past are all divided into small debts with the village as the unit."

"In this way, small landowners will be able to participate in the auction."

Small landlords are ants, and gentry landlords are elephants. A group of ants are introduced to deal with elephants.

At the same time, the small landlords have something to gain, and it is better to let the wealth flow to the small landlords than to flow all the wealth to the gentry and big landlords.

"A small landlord with 150 mu of land can't afford to bid for an area of ​​more than a dozen villages. It is not a problem to bid for one village."

"As for who can win the auction, it depends on their commitment."

"The government handed over the land tax creditor's rights to those who collected the lowest amount from the people."

The land tax claim is clearly an attractive high-quality claim.

In the past, ordinary small landlords had no contacts, no strong capital, could not benefit officials, and could not participate at all.

As long as the big debt is split into small debts in the village as a unit.

There are definitely a lot of people grabbing it!
The court's statutory land tax is five buckets.

After they buy the debt, they can make a lot of money!

Don't underestimate it, the common people only get the benefits of half a bucket of grain per mu.

In the event of severe drought in spring, a family can survive for an extra month with a bucket of grain, wild vegetables, bark, and leaves!

Take him and Miaoyun as an example, they have the least fields in the village.

Half a dou per mu, ten mu of land is five dou!
The extra five buckets of grain can guarantee a five-month boil!

Every bucket of grain represents a bloody life!
Snapped!
Fatty Jiang pondered for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh, and then stretched out two greasy hands, grabbed Zhu Di, "Mr. Zhu, can you really not be my master of staff?"

"This is a good way!"

"Before the direct income cannot be realized, this is the best way!"

"Your Majesty knows, you have to praise me!"

Fatty Jiang stared at Zhu Di with his small eyes.

Zhu Di couldn't laugh or cry and drew his hand, but it was a pity that he didn't take it out. He said with a helpless smile: "Master Jiang, if you have something to do, just ask for advice, but if I know it, I will know everything, but it's better to be in the officialdom."

After saying that, he twitched his hand again.

Jiang Jinzhong was full of regret, and he held onto it tightly.

It is okay to ask for advice.

But if you don't pull it into your own bowl, there is no master-slave relationship of employment, this relationship is not solid!
"Master Jiang..." Zhu Di reminded, and at the same time, he waved his hand again.

Only then did Jiang Jinzhong let go of his hand.

Regretfully said: "Mr. Zhu doesn't want to be restrained by the officialdom, so let's forget about the affairs of the staff, but please sir, please help me find a way to pay directly."

"It's good to pay taxes for bidding, but after all it's not as good as collecting taxes directly. Whoever can solve this problem will be famous in history!"

Zhu Di smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Zhu, what do you think of Wang Anshi's land tax law in the Song Dynasty?" Jiang Jinzhong changed the subject and asked, "I've looked through the history books. I'm afraid that the only policy that can be called direct collection in the past dynasties is Wang Anshi's reform."

"Wang Anshi was thinking about the emperor, not the people!" Zhu Di sneered.

Wang Anshi's reputation in history books is not bad.

In fact, as far as the people are concerned, Sima Guang, his opponent, may be more supportive.

The essential purpose of Wang Anshi's reform was to plunder wealth from the common people for the Song court.

Similarly, there is Zhang Juzheng in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Juzheng was even more ruthless, directly asking the people to pay land taxes with silver.

In this way, there is no need for the squire to pay taxes.

The government only needs to send people to the countryside to urge the people to pay the money, and the fire consumption is also reduced.

But in the hands of the common people, how could there be hard currency like silver!

Every year during the grain harvest season, food prices will fall.

At this time, the common people wanted to sell grain at a low price, exchange it for silver and pay land taxes.

The loss of the people is greater than that of the tax system.

In addition to the loss of the people, both the government and the country gentry benefited.

The government got a strong hard currency silver.

Taking advantage of the people's eagerness to exchange money, the squires lowered the price of grain and got more grain.

……

Jiang Jinzhong looked at Zhu Di's quotations and quotations, and was stunned.

At a certain moment, when Zhu Di stopped, seeing Jiang Jinzhong stunned, he couldn't help laughing.

More than half a year.

In addition to farming, teach children.

Run this home.

When he and Miao Yun had time, they read books together at the small table in front of the window.

Miaoyun's other dowry is nothing.

But there are many books!
There are several boxes full of books.

During his corvee service, Miaoyun asked Huizu to bring many more.

Over the past six months or so, the two have read many books together.

'thigh!This is a thick thigh!Be sure to hold tight!Once Zhu Silang encounters a storm, he will definitely soar into the sky and become a figure like Zhuge Kongming! '

Jiang Jinzhong's small eyes gleamed, and he screamed excitedly, making up his mind to hug Zhu Di's thick thighs tightly!
Zhu Di looked at the 'wretched' smile on the corners of Jiang Jinzhong's lips, and said angrily, "Master Jiang, what are you thinking about?"

what?
Jiang Jinzhong came back to his senses, and hurriedly restrained his overly explicit expression, and sneered and probed: "Mr. Zhu never thought about getting a fame?"

"Reluctance to be an official does not conflict with the test of fame."

"If you have the status of Juren, you don't have to pay taxes."

"Mr. can also protect the people of Tuqiao Village, and let the villagers pretend to put the land in Mr.'s name, so that they can avoid paying taxes."

Zhu Di was a little moved.

Now that he is a farmer, he must have considered the issue from his own point of view.

It is also because it is beneficial to him as a farmer to help Fatty Jiang's staff to collect directly and to bid for tax.

However, he quickly shook his head: "I have no plans for this at the moment."

J.

He took part in the imperial examination, and he didn't know how many people's nerves would be stimulated.

"Let's go, go to the village to see the situation of tax collection on the spot. The children in the school in the village heard that Mr. Jiang promotes direct collection. These children are innocent, and they don't look like adults doubting Mr. Jiang."

"The adults suspect that these children are still arguing with the adults at home and speaking for Mr. Jiang."

"One after another invited me and my wife, and Mr. Jiang to the school. These children really want to see Mr. Jiang."

"I'll pass on a message on my behalf. I don't know if Mr. Jiang has time and would like to take the time to meet these children."

"real!"

Jiang Jinzhong's small eyes gleamed, excited and suspicious, staring at Zhu Di.

Obviously, the previous experience of being cheated was too tragic.

Very worried, being cheated again.

Zhu Di suppressed a smile and said, "Master Jiang, you can't be bitten by a snake for ten years and be afraid of the well rope."

"The school is full of innocent children."

"What bad thoughts can a child have?"

"Yes, yes, the children are so simple, they must really admire me!"

"Mr. Zhu, let's go, let's enter the village quickly!" Jiang Jinzhong couldn't wait to urge him.

With a chubby figure, he walked quickly, shaking from side to side and back and forth.

Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh...
