Chapter 928: Two Taxes to Protect the People!
"You kid, please speak well. Be sure to crush this matter to me!" Li Shilong saw Qin Mo say a few words, took a few puffs of smoke, and the fire rose up.
Qin Mo ignored him and said to Li Yuan: "Old man, the land is constant and people are not constant, so take the village as the unit.
The nearby mountains, fields, land, forests and ponds are summarized into the collective property of the village!
The village level is a village, and the township governs the village. Every village has a number of land and forests.
For example, there are 10,000 acres of arable land in Yuchi Village and 50 families in the village. There are so many 5,000 acres of arable land that the village has planted collectively, but the property rights of these fields are not unique and the property belongs to the collective.
The grain grown in these lands is used for taxation, and most of it is used for storage or distribution. If it cannot be finished, it will be sold. The money sold is distributed equally by the villages.
In this way, will anyone still be willing to be a dependent farmer?"
Everyone looked at each other. This method... seems to be much better than the equal-field system, except for Yongyetian.
The excess land in the village can increase the income of the village and make farmers rich.
Secondly, the imperial court's tax collection will not hurt the bones.
Moreover, rewarding land by population can also reduce the number of hidden people.
It can also encourage everyone to have children.
The most important thing is that using villages as a unit can greatly curb land annexation, and nobility cannot annex all villages and towns.
"What if there are still people who are dependent farmers?" Li Yuan asked.
"You should pay taxes by the official, let them merge and collect taxes to death!" Qin Mo said.
"Official and honor pay taxes together?" Du Jingming exclaimed.
There was no imperial examination in Daqian, so there was no saying that officials and gentry paid taxes together.
"That's right, it's just that officials and honors pay taxes together!" Qin Mo said: "To be honest, who is present in the family's land in hectares?
According to the Daqian Order, the Duke of the State's Yongye Field was 100 hectares, that is, 10,000 acres of cultivated fields, not including mountains, forests, ponds, etc.
Eating food has made you overwhelmed, and you have various salary and business. Don’t stare at the common people’s little land.
Of course, you are all great officials and you will definitely not do such things, but it is hard to say those officials with high sky and far away emperors."
Li Yuan was a little scared. It was so cruel that the officials and honors paid food together.
If this knife continues, I am afraid it will cause trouble.
He glanced at Li Shilong.
Li Shilong's eyes were also full of surprise, obviously he didn't expect Qin Mo to have this idea.
"To be honest, you said that the reason why Lingnan measured land during this period was to pay food in one's own and honors, and the method of using villages was actually implemented a few months ago.
The feedback given by the people is very good. Everyone is working hard to reclaim wasteland, so next year, we will have to remeasure the land.
The land must be measured every two to three years to ensure the amount of land.
The reform of various yamen in Lingnan, including tax payment, has been implemented two months ago. The taxes collected will become their future guarantee.
For example, Uncle Yuchi is now a small official from the Six Gate. After retirement at the age of fifty, he has no salary, no income, and is abolished.
However, it is different now. Liushemen rehired Uncle Yuchi as a consultant of Liushemen. He has no real power and has a pension and salary every month, which is not worse than when he was on duty.
This money was allocated by the court. Over time, it would be a huge expense. If the taxes were deducted, it would not be one person who benefited, but all the officials.
There are more officials than officials, and at least there is still guarantee, and officials have no guarantee."
Li Shilong's face changed again and again, "You're just talking about such a big thing now!"
Qin Mo glanced at him and said to Li Yuan: "Old man, it was someone who told me to do whatever I wanted. I always have to do something before I can say it, right?
This is just the beginning, and I said what the use is it? It has been implemented anyway. Is it OK? I will see if it is done within a year!"
Li Yuan nodded. It is indeed a good idea to implement reforms in Lingnan, but this place has been reopened anyway.
If these two sets of combinations are carried out, the people are reluctant to rely on them. Those who become officials feel that there is no benefit in annexing the land, so they will naturally not think about annexing!
Li Shilong was also helpless. This dog was really good, and he did such a big thing quietly.
It’s also a blessing that this place is Lingnan. If it were placed elsewhere, the lords would have reported it to you long ago.
"However, this system can easily lead to the birth of Li Hao over time." Li Yuan said.
"You can separate the family. After the family is divided, the land will be divided from the original household registration.
After the separation of the family, the descendants also have to support the elderly.
As for families, some people are willing to divide the family, some people are unwilling, and some people are unwilling to dig food in the land.
When people have money, they will think about pursuing a better life, such as going to the county town, allowing their children to study, take the public office, and go on a career path.
Open more schools and regard children's study as one of the criteria for local officials' assessment. With knowledge, you will not stay in the field for the rest of your life.
In less than two generations, there are many scholars from Daqian.
After three or four generations, it may be a problem whether anyone is willing to go to the countryside to farm!”
"Absurd, who would still dislike it?" Yu Boshi said.
"Ask your grandson if you want to go back to your hometown to farm!" Qin Mo pushed him back with one sentence!
Yu Boshi opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute that his grandson would not want to go to the suburbs of Beijing, let alone go back to his hometown.
"People go to high places, water flows to low places, there is surplus food for the family and silver in their pockets, who doesn't know how to enjoy it? Look at the capital, how many people are, is it just because the capital is the best place?
Not that, it is because there are many opportunities in the capital, and young people can find ways to make a fortune there.
Don’t look down on the country people. Whoever looks down on the country people is a fool!” Qin Mo snorted: “The most annoying people like you, I think that farmers can only be farmers, and soldiers must be soldiers, just like fools!”
"I haven't, you are wronged!" Yu Boshi was so angry that he had dealt with Qin Mo, but it was the first time he was scolded so fiercely by Qin Mo.
Qin Mo rolled his eyes and ignored him at all, "In short, Lingnan began to implement the policy of land to villages, and Cangwu also began to implement the four-body official honor businessman and farmer who paid food!"
"Your is indeed a good idea, but it's a bit too radical." Li Yuan stroked his beard, "And, yours seems to be a bit in conflict with the renting system. If there are more than one household and there is not enough land, according to the population tax
, it will greatly increase the tax burden!”
"Old man, if you are wrong, there will be no taxes. All the miscellaneous taxes are exempted. Instead, the total number of land acres is paid to be constant. In this way, the more land the more taxes you pay.
In addition, the integrated payment of food by officials and honors can curb land annexation to the greatest extent and protect common people.
Moreover, the tax time is determined, and the summer and autumn are not allowed to collect taxes randomly.
