Chapter 1,152 Wang Ben is also eloquent sometimes

After Zhang Han spoke, some ministers seemed to find their direction. Their lips moved slightly. They were about to speak, but they saw Chunyu Yue bowing and leaving the list, "I have objections!"

"speak!"

Ying Feiyu supported himself on the dragon table with one hand, dragged his chin, and listened carefully.

"Although agricultural tax accounts for a very small proportion now, if the people are used to such days after being exempted, they will be used to levying them later. If they want to collect them in the future, they will probably cause dissatisfaction among the people, and the court will cause a lot of trouble out of thin air!"

The people will definitely be cheering when agricultural tax is exempted, and the court will also win the hearts of the people because of it.

But if the court has difficulties in the future and wants to continue to collect agricultural taxes, not only will the amount of people earned before be lost, but it will also arouse public anger!

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, Chunyu Yue suggested not to cancel it.

Anyway, the current agricultural tax is very small and there is no pressure on the people!

As for winning the hearts of the people, you can start from other aspects!

His objections made many unscrupulous ministers hesitate.

Is this better to support it or not?

They really realized that these old guys were really ignorant and had no unified caliber.

The exemption of agricultural tax is to be taken to the court for discussion, rather than going through a formality!

In desperation, these unintentional ministers had to choose to shut up and see what other old guys said first!

"Since the agricultural tax is very small, whether to cancel or not depends on the impact it will have on our Daqin after the cancellation!"

Meng Yi said seriously.

"Yes, yes! That's right!"

Meng Tian nodded in support, which was exactly what he wanted to say.

"What do you think about Wang Aiqing?"

Ying Feiyu set his eyes on Wang Ben again.

"In the past, industry and commerce were not prosperous, and agricultural tax became the focus of the imperial court's economic source! But now agricultural tax is very small in terms of taxation, so I think that if this part is missing, it will not have any impact!"

Wang Ben thought for a while and gave up his opinion.

"There will definitely not be any impact in a short period of time, but the money in the treasury is less and less! It is indeed abundant now, but what about the future? What if the treasury income encounters difficulties in the future and then collects agricultural tax from the people? Have you ever thought about the consequences of Lao Wang?"

Chunyu Yue immediately retorted.

"In just over six years since Your Majesty returned to Xianyang, I, Daqin, have grown from being poor and empty to what I am today. Moreover, Your Majesty once said that Daqin still has a lot of room for development, and the industry and commerce will become stronger and stronger in the future, and the tax revenue in this area will increase more and more, and the proportion of agricultural tax will be smaller at that time!"

Wang Ben guessed that he would say this early in the morning, and had already thought about what to do with him.

"Okay, Lao Wang, I didn't see it!"

Zhang Han's eyes lit up.

I usually see him being clumsy, but I didn’t expect that he would be very eloquent!

"Then have you ever thought about it? It will be difficult to increase your income in the future!"

Chunyu Yue was dissatisfied.

There are not many agricultural taxes, which can cause no burden on the people at all. Why do we have to reduce the exemptions and lay the root of disaster for the future?

"With my current strength of Daqin, even in the future, I don't need to increase my income..."

Wang Ben straightened his back and continued: "Reducing and exempting taxes from the people can make the people live and work in peace and contentment. There is no reason to rebel, so that the Qin Dynasty can go further!"

From ancient times to the present, many dynasties organized uprisings because the people could not bear the heavy taxes.

If the court did not even charge taxes, what reason would they have to make an uprising?

The court will surely last forever!

"Mr. Tongwu Hou was right. Even if the spoils brought back from overseas were not cleaned up, the court's tax on industry and commerce alone was enough to maintain the normal operation of the Qin Dynasty. I also supported the abolition of the agricultural tax!"

"Yes! I think the Qin Dynasty must be getting stronger and stronger, not short of the meager agricultural tax!"

"That's right! Now the whole world belongs to the Great Qin, and all kinds of mineral deposits belong to the Great Qin. Compared to this, what is that little agricultural tax?"

"I also agree with the abolition of agricultural tax!"

"I'm going to discuss it..."

After a dispute between Wang Ben and several old people, all officials began to think about the pros and cons of the abolition of agricultural tax.

Finally, I found the direction and bowed out one by one to explain my opinions!

At present, only Chunyu Yue, the six ministers, opposes the opposition.

The generals and young ministers agreed very much.

As for some stubborn old ministers, they were standing in the middle of the court with bows and bows to enrich the harem.

That matter has been diverted by Ying Feiyu with agricultural taxes and ignored them.

Without orders, they could not stand up privately, and could only keep bowing.

Before the previous thing was resolved, even if they had objections, they could not speak out at all.

At this time, their faces were pale, their hands were sore and numb, and they had already begun to tremble slightly!

"Then this matter is decided! From now on, I, Daqin, will no longer collect agricultural taxes from the people!"

The discussion was almost the same, and Ying Feiyu made the decision directly.

"Your Majesty's wiseness..."

The ministers bowed and shouted in unison.

This move will definitely be recorded in history.

From ancient times to the present, no country has allowed people to farm for free without collecting a grain of food!

However, this is far from enough for Ying Feiyu.

When the Qin Dynasty develops to a certain extent, not only will it not charge agricultural taxes, but any willing to farm will also be given certain subsidies to promote basic production!

But it is still far behind now, and it will take a certain level of development of industry and commerce before it can be implemented.

If it is proposed now, there are probably few civil and military officials in the court who agree with it. They must think he is brain-sick!

"If you promulgate the edict, I will also order people to promote it in the newspaper!"

To decide on this matter, a special person must write those gorgeously worded imperial edicts, officially promulgated, and then the government will post a list to promote it.

This is the most traditional process.

Now that you have a newspaper, you can write the manuscript and use a telegraph to transmit it to local newspapers, and you can see it in the newspaper the next day.

Reading newspapers every day has become a part of people's lives. Using newspapers to promote this matter is even better than that of the government!

"yes!"

The corresponding minister should drink immediately.

"Ouch...!"

After deciding on this matter, several old ministers in the court could no longer hold back and began to shake.

Luo Hongyi staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly stood back and bowed to his head!

"Lo Aiqing? What are you... doing?"

Ying Feiyu pretended to have a very surprised expression, pretended to have forgotten what had happened before, and blinked his eyes to ask.

"Return...Return to Your Majesty, Old Minister..."

"Isn't the exemption of agricultural taxes already decided? What? What are you going to object?"

However, before Luo Hongyi could speak, he was interrupted by Ying Feiyu again.

"No, no, no, me... I am trying to enrich the harem!"

Luo Hongyi waved his hand quickly and told them their purpose.

They had been standing in the court with their heads bowed for more than an hour. Their waist was sore that they felt that their arms were not theirs.

If they don’t solve this matter quickly, they may have to fall into this Qilin Hall!

"Oh! This matter! I will discuss it with the queen when I look back!"

"Retreat the court...!"

After a few casual words, Ying Feiyu did not give them another chance.

Luo Hongyi and the others suffered a lot, and what they hope most at this moment is to go to court early and have a good rest.
Chapter completed!
