As the chief of the Privy Council and the head of the civil servants, Zhou Shao made statements to Ulutus and the officials attending the meeting on behalf of the Privy Council.

In the second year of Ganwu, the first major plan of the Privy Council was to implement a century-old plan of dividing acres. Since the Ming Dynasty was a new type of immigration country, the land arrangements for immigration were always relatively relaxed. There were tax-free policies to support them, so there were not many provinces that collected agricultural taxes, mainly concentrated in small areas such as Liaoning Province, Jilin Province and Shangjing Prefecture.

Shandong Province is actually a major agricultural province, but the war two years ago caused great damage to local vitality. It is not easy to be self-sufficient, let alone provide taxes to the central government of the court. In addition, the surrounding areas of Shandong Province are not peaceful, and the court intends to strengthen the defense and strength of Shandong's local areas, so not only did not collect agricultural taxes, but also provided certain financial subsidies.

The huge expenditure on immigration funds is the result of the continuous support of the imperial court.

Now that the plan to expand the army is now available, the court's financial support for it will certainly increase a lot.

However, those provinces that immigrate earlier can start collecting taxes.

In the past, because of the lack of agricultural taxes, the tax policy of the court was still collected according to the Jin and Song dynasties. Although it shows that the country's administration is generally clear and clear, it is still inevitable that local fraud and fraudulent names will be used to collect taxes.

Moreover, taxes are collected according to the separation of population and the number of land, which is too easy to cause hidden households and fugitive households. Even though the Ming Dynasty is now vast and sparsely populated, most people have fields to cultivate. However, with the increase of population, this situation will inevitably change.

By then, the population will increase, but the number of land will not increase much. The social conflicts caused by this will become a major problem that may lead to the collapse of the dynasty.

Ulutus had the awareness of being prepared for danger in times of peace, so he wanted to implement the national government early on. It was most appropriate to implement the new policy when the conflict between people and land was not prominent and the local clan forces did not become popular.

Zhou Shao was also instructed by Ulutus and brought it up at the small dynasty meeting.

According to the plan, those new immigrants who had already passed the three-year tax exemption period in the second year of Ganwu must pay agricultural tax according to the policy of new tax accumulation. And since then, the Ming Dynasty only had two major items: agricultural tax and commercial tax, namely corvee and tertiary tax, which were all cancelled.

Moreover, agricultural tax is only levied according to the number of land acres, which means that the government will only collect taxes on land acres in the future, rather than Dingkou. In this way, the number of people and land can be falsely reported to the maximum extent.

Although this will inevitably increase the number of local officials, the Ming Dynasty was not afraid of too many officials. Because according to Ulutus's meaning, it would be absolutely impossible to go to the countryside without going to the countryside. His Ming Dynasty would become a real centralized system, rather than throwing the vast countryside to the control of local clan forces.

With the current situation where the clan forces in the Ming Dynasty were almost extinct, it could no longer be given room for rekindled.

Trade tax includes passer tax, transaction tax, special tax on individual goods, and entry and exit taxes at various sea and land trade ports.

Since the commercial tax is to be raised to the point where it is equal to the agricultural tax, its name will naturally not be missing. Although this will inevitably increase the commercial cost of the circulation link, it will eventually be transferred to ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Ming Dynasty overhauled the official road and vigorously developed inland river transportation and offshore water transportation, which would also vigorously promote the circulation of commercial goods. It also fundamentally reduced the circulation cost and circulation risks of commercial goods. Compared with the increase of a small amount of taxes, it is really nothing.

Moreover, when the same vehicle remains unchanged for a certain period of time and the same vehicle, more commercial goods can be circulated and the cost will also decrease. For example, in the past, a carriage could only transport 100 kilograms of grain in one day. After reducing the circulation cost in Ming Dynasty, it could transport 120 kilograms, and the time also became half a day.

Feedback to the market, the price of commercial goods will inevitably drop.

After all, price advantage is a good marketing method, and Ming Dynasty also supports commercial policies. With agriculture alone, Ming Dynasty is definitely not as good as Song Dynasty. Even the Jin Dynasty is difficult to catch up.

Because the size of the two is completely different and the mature fields they have are completely different, so if you want to be rich, you can only overtake. After the people are rich, they can increase the centripetal force and cohesion of the people towards the Ming Dynasty.

When the people of several surrounding countries were suffering, it would be a great thing for the people of the Ming Dynasty to be able to eat and wear well and have a little extra money. This would also be helpful for the Ming Dynasty to compete in the Central Plains and to conquer the world in the future.

Moreover, Ming Dynasty's business-oriented policy has already taken effect.

The large-scale purchase of land and property in the Jiangnan province of the Song Dynasty was proof of the fact that Song merchants purchased land on Jiudao and Jeju Island on a large scale. Although these Song people still retained their status as Song after they became Mingdi. They were considered to be on two boats, and their loyalty would be greatly reduced.

But the money they spent in Ming was real. Moreover, with them running on both sides, Ming was able to "rush to buy" Song's materials through commercial means. The inflation caused by then could only be borne by ordinary people.

The second major plan is to include local officials in the formal system of rank-level officials. Although they are still not rank-level, their salary can be borne by the government. Although the Ming Dynasty also took into account the salary of officials, it was a temporary method and it was difficult to ensure when it would be cancelled.

Now it has been determined directly on the official side, which has become the rule of the Ming Dynasty from now on. Moreover, the promotion from an official to an enrollment has also been made public on the spot. In the future, students who have no fame in Ming Dynasty College can actively sign up to be a local official.

It's also a kind of experience!

In addition, the village chiefs and town mayors who immigrated to the new village will be included in the administrative system of civil servants, rather than being solely a one-man show of the Civil Affairs Department. Although this will undoubtedly increase the financial burden of the Ming Dynasty, it has finally improved the administrative system of the Ming Dynasty.

It also has a complementary effect with the previous national government that has accumulated acres.

And if these inequality officials are included in the administrative system, the supervision rules for officials are also applicable to them. For example, the number of land acres, business restrictions, and open income must be treated equally.

Officials from various departments and departments have already enjoyed the "pain and happiness" brought by "surveillance". Now that more people can enjoy it, they feel very happy.

The third is the overhaul of the official roads and economic revitalization plan of Longjiang, Binhai and Jiangnan provinces. Especially the construction of the New Port on the sea, the Ming Dynasty already intends to build a "Pearl of the North" in the north, which is as famous as the Dalian New Port in the south.

In fact, this plan was already chosen in the north when Dalian Port was newly built. It was located in Vladivostok in later generations, which was considered a rare flat land in the coastal mountains. The terrain in the north was relatively flat, with a large area of ​​flat land between Suifenhe and Xingkai Lake. It is also easier to build an official road.

However, since Tumen City, the capital of Jilin Province, is not far from the coastline, and the Tumen River connects the sea estuary, Jilin Province wants to build a port downstream. Then, with Goryeo being taken down, Jiangnan Province also joined the new construction plan for this northern seaport.

As the three parties compete for profit, the result is that the three parties develop independently.

Instead, it further highlights the unique style of Dalian Port in the south!
