Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, and just as he wanted to avoid it, the smoke was ignited.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.

The Supreme Emperor lights a cigarette.

Qin Mo was actually content with ease!

Liu Chenghu pushed Qin Xiangru, and Qin Xiangru put on his sunglasses and whispered: "I can't hear or see, don't be beaten by me!"

This turtle boy thought his father was too long and had to find an opportunity to beat him up. There was no crooked tree by the beach, so he had no place to escape.

Qin Xiangru has made up his mind.

"Old man, what are you doing?" Qin Mo swallowed.

"I'm lighting a cigarette for you, what are you afraid of? It's not a big deal for my grandson-in-law!" Li Yuan waved his hand indifferently, and then happily lit a slog for himself, "Just just treat the others as air. What's happening to us on weekdays, and what's going on now!"

Li Shilong's face turned black.

What does it mean?

Just like this in front of so many people, I didn’t go up to Li Yuantou in private.

Li Shilong's angered back teeth were about to be broken.

"Old man, you are so good. You won't be the one who cheated me!" Qin Mo was about to cry.

Li Shilong had traces of cheating people, but Li Yuan had no trace of cheating people. He could make him cry after a while!

These two men are indeed in line with each other!

"It's okay, with the master here, whoever dares to touch you, I will mess with him!" Li Yuan patted the back of his hand, "Don't be afraid!"

Qin Mo sucked two sips of cigarettes, "Actually, this matter involves all aspects, and it can't be explained clearly in just a few words. Otherwise, I'll think about it for a few days before I talk about it?"

Li Shilong had already pulled out his belt, and Qin Xiangru was also preparing to retract the pole. Gongsun Wuji silently brought the recliner behind Qin Mo for the sake of Li Shilong's sight.

Li Cungong said: "Jing Yun, don't keep it aside. It's not easy to stir-fry meat with belts!"

"Then what, old man, I will just say a few words. In fact, this equal-field system has both good and bad things. What I said, including what the uncle said, are all the disadvantages of the equal-field system.

In the final analysis, it is the land annexation brought by land transactions. The method of leasing by the uncle can indeed curb one or two, but there will always be loopholes, so we have to start from the source."

Li Yuan nodded, "Don't be anxious, say it slowly, listen!"

"We are a lot of officials in Daqian, and there are many Yongye fields, and officials can sell these fields at will without paying taxes.

After a long time, you will naturally become a big landlord.

If there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, food is bad, and the people cannot pay taxes, they will definitely rely on the names of officials or nobles to conduct reasonable tax avoidance.

Sometimes, it is not actually the corruption of being an official, but the small farmers are desperate and want to go up."

Daqian did not have an imperial examination, so naturally there was no preferential treatment for scholars, but there was still generous treatment for officials and nobles.

Take it as an example. A large part of it is dragged down by scholars under the imperial examination system.

It’s not that they are greedy, but that the small farmers can’t live anymore and beg to be dependent farmers, and they will cry for their parents if they don’t harvest.

The Ming Dynasty belonged to scholars, nobles, and officials, who colluded with each other.

If he doesn't die, who will die?

In the later period, a huge empire would collect hundreds of thousands of taels of taxes. Who dares to believe it?

Before Li Yuan became the emperor, he was also a great nobleman. Qin Mo's point is really about the point.

He glanced at several people, and his face changed slightly.

Immediately, he snorted, "This is why I want to destroy the aristocratic family!"

Everyone present smiled bitterly. Can this damn Qin Mo say such words?

Didn’t you shoot yourself in the foot?

Li Shilong also thought deeply that this was indeed a big problem. Moreover, it took less than thirty years to go, just the "reasonable tax avoidance" was enough for small farmers to catch up.

"Let me talk about another question. Is the biggest problem of relying on farmers just not paying taxes? None of them, population hiding is the biggest problem!" Qin Mo said: "Why can a noble family easily form a rebel team? Because the court does not know how many tenants there are under their family, which may be thousands or tens of thousands of people.

Now all the aristocratic families in the south are gone, and only a few kittens in the north are just a few, but this phenomenon will inevitably change. Although many places are now exempt from corvee labor, and some disaster-stricken places are also exempt from taxes.

But what are the taxes we implement when we work hard?

It's a renting system!

The renting system clarifies the tax amount of the people.

Each male child takes 2 stones of millet to the country every year, which is called "renting"; he takes 2 zhang silk or silk, 3 taels of cotton (not cotton, but kapok), and 2 zhang cloth and 5 zhang seaweed from the cotton area, which is called "double".

Each officer performs labor service for 20 days every year. Those who do not want to serve can replace them with physical objects such as silk or cloth, which is called "Yong".

When the country needs to increase labor service, 15 days of additional service will be exempted from the transfer. 30 days of additional service will be exempted from rent and transfer."

Speaking of this, the cigarette butt burned Qin Mo's hand and quickly threw it on the ground. Li Yuan next to him was fascinated. Seeing Qin Mo screaming, he quickly took out another cigarette and stuffed it into Qin Mo's mouth, "Come on, Jing Yun, continue to smoke!"

Qin Mo smiled bitterly, "Old man, you are really not afraid that I will kill you!"

"It's okay. When I was writing a book, I never stopped smoking. The more I smoked my mind, the clearer I thoughts became. If you smoke more, the more I will definitely feel like a spring of thoughts!" As he said that, he quickly lit it for Qin Mo.

"It's a sin!" Qin Mo sighed in his heart and then said, "Where did I just say?"

"You said that you can get rent-free for 30 days of extra service." Gongsun Wuji suddenly reminded.

Qin Mo was shocked, "Uncle Guo, why did you run away from me?"

"The wind is strong, the wind is low behind you!"

"Fuck, you are clearly cutting off my back!" Qin Mo's teeth clattered.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and say it, my face is wrinkled by the sea breeze!" Gongsun Wuji dusted the ashes.

Qin Mo was also helpless and said in a muffled voice: "Many places use additional service to exempt rent and transfer.

Therefore, even if we do 40 taxes, many ordinary people will live a tight life.

Because all the strong men in the family were taken away, some old people, if they were too far away, they might still die on the road.

Which one does not require money when eating and drinking along the way?

Therefore, even if some places are exempt from corvee labor, people are greedy and no one wants to pay rent.

They will still be attached to the names of nobles, lords or officials.

The land is still the same, but the court does not know how many people there are.

The taxes that can be collected are getting fewer and fewer.

Not only is there a low tax, but the tax collection system that works hard is also problematic. It doesn’t matter in the short term, but in the long term, there will definitely be people who collect taxes to make their own pockets.

Even now, it is just that the subordinates hide the superiors, the superiors collect money, and the officials protect each other!

I'll say something, you must understand, old man.
