Chapter 617 Thirty Taxes One

Even specialists can understand all the tax system clearly and clearly. Li Jing doesn't expect that the governors and county magistrates can understand clearly in just one or two words... Especially now, most of the county officials in the prefectures and county officials do not handle the specific common affairs in person, but officials are the real clerks.

However, Li Jing has made up his mind to reform the new tax law. The town is getting bigger and bigger and the population is getting bigger. The sooner the new tax law is implemented, the more beneficial it is.

Li Jing's new tax law is also simple, which is to directly use Zhang Juzheng's one-whip method of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty's stall ditto to replace the current two tax law.

To put it bluntly, the key to the two tax laws is to retain household tax and land tax. Household tax is taxed based on ninth-class households, while land tax is taxed based on land acres. What Li Jing wants to do now is to abolish the household tax that contains the quality of the cap tax.

At the same time, the most important thing is to unify taxes and service, restrict harshness, and promote tax stability. Now the Tang Dynasty system is to separate taxes and service. Taxes are divided by land and acres, and labor is collected by households. In addition to taxes and service, there are also many additional sub-items, local tributes and other additional sects.

Li Jing's plan was to directly simplify it into one according to the Ming Dynasty's one-whip method, and all the servants were assigned to the land and collected by acres. However, the original servants, Yao servants, etc., were all changed to employment, and the government hired people to serve on their behalf. In this way, the people could pay for the rank of the rank of labor. Although the power of service was served, they had wages to be taken. Moreover, after the unified taxes and service were unified, it was difficult for officials at all levels to establish a name. Therefore, the shortcomings were cleared, so that the taxes would stabilize and the farmers would be at a loss.

At the same time, the government will fully clear the land, expand the scope of collection, so that the tax burden is relatively even, and prevent landlords from concealing land tax evasion.

At the same time, a mu of money will be collected, and the official will be settled, which will make the collection method more complete. The court used to collect actual taxes. Although the two taxes were calculated in currency, the payment was still discounted. In this process, there were often cases of intentional money and low property, which caused the people to suffer greatly. Li Jing's plan was that after the new law, not only all the servants were changed to poor money, but all the land taxes were also changed to credit. At the same time, the tax and labor collection classes were no longer handled by the village chief, the security chief, etc., but instead directly collected by local officials and transferred to the inventory. From then on, the classes were not collected by the physical goods, and the storage fee was saved. The village chief, the security chief, and the security chief, and the compensation could be avoided.

Li Jing patiently explained the new tax system to the officials, and his mouth was a little dry, but at first glance, there were not many people who could understand.

"Li Pingzhou, I wonder what you think about this?" Seeing that no one spoke, Li Jing took the initiative to illuminate the name of the Sima of the Jiedushi and the governor of Pingzhou Li Zhen.

Li Zhen is not the oldest, but he has always been trusted by Li Jing. He is the second official to serve as the governor in the town [***]. Li Jing called him a name to make him break the current silence.

Li Zhen stood up, cleared his throat, and said slowly: "I have listened to the explanation of the county prince for a long time, and I have some outlines of this new tax law position. I think it is feasible to measure the land. In addition to the ten prefectures under the county prince, some of the land in the two prefectures and fifteen counties of Ziqing, in fact, most of the land in the prefectures and counties are newly obtained by the county prince to the people. It is not difficult to measure the ten prefectures."

"But, the household tax will be abolished, and all other additional additional assignments will be simplified into one, and the service will be given to the land, and the laborers will also be given to the land, and the acres will be collected. This article will probably touch many wealthy landlords."

Li Zhen had a very accurate vision. When Li Jing said the past and the next, he immediately saw the real intention of this new tax law. That is, the tax system used to pay taxes was a large number of people, and now the tax was a landlord and powerful man who owned a large amount of land. In this way, it would touch the interests of many people. Even though most of the towns were newly occupied land, there were also many landlords in the Denglai Pingjin states. There were even many children of large clans who also held important positions in the towns.

Li Jing understood the intention of Li Zhen to persuade him to be cautious in his words, but he felt that it was a good opportunity now. If he waited for a few more years, perhaps the newly established prefectures had already entered a large number of major families, and it would be better to implement them at that time.

With a smile, Li Jing looked at Han Anguo and Xiao Dingbang, two governors from the great lords below. "I believe that Han Jun and Xiao Jun will not oppose my new tax law. Although the land needs to be paid more tax, your caravan shops and workshops can earn more than the land. And our new tax is very favorable for commercial taxes. I believe your eyes will not be as good as those old people, just staring at that acre of three-point land. Look at our town [***], so prosperous. If we rely solely on the output of those acres of land, how can we have the current situation?"

If Xiao Dingbang and Han Anguo could choose, they would naturally not be willing to support the new tax law, but they had to admit that Li Jing was right. Although they were representatives of the great clans, they actually occupied the most land in towns such as Denglai. Moreover, Li Jing was right. The profits they made in the towns [***] were incomparable to the land. Moreover, they had just taken the position of governor, and no matter what they said, they would never sing the opposite tune with Li Jing.

Both of them stood firmly on Li Jing's side and led the way to support the new tax law.

However, Gaiyu was a little worried about Li Jing's plan to collect money instead of physical goods and money. Although the banknotes in Zhen have been issued for three years and have never made any mistakes. But this is just a piece of paper money after all, and it can be printed in large quantities if needed. He was a little uneasy about the tax collection of money.

Li Jing's plan to collect money was also considered after a long time. The Tang Dynasty collected money from two taxes, but the money was heavy and the goods were less expensive. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty itself had a shortage of money. Li Jing even stipulated that money was not allowed to go abroad, and gold and silver coins were printed to solve the problem of money shortage. During the Ming Dynasty, silver was imposed. However, there was not much silver mining in the Tang Dynasty and it could not be used in large quantities. Moreover, after the Ming Dynasty, a problem arose, which was the problem of fire consumption. Li Jing directly collected money, which could not be solved both the money shortage and the fire exhaust. The only trouble was that the banknote was a double-edged sword, so he was very careful when using it.

However, Li Jing is confident that he will not print money indiscriminately. Perhaps his descendants may have such problems in the future, but I will talk about it before passing this level.

Seeing that everyone was adapting to this whip method and accepted it, Li Jing nodded slightly and immediately threw out a deeper system of digging into the acres.

The one-whip method is not the tax system that Li Jing really wants to use, and it is only the only way to spread the dime into the acres.

To spread the tax into the acre means to combine the tax into the land tax and collect taxes based on the acres of land, completely ending the double taxation standard of the acres of people and land, so as to make the tax and labor unified.

"Salvage the people's acres" is based on the "one-whip method", which prompted the land tax and the labour service to be completely integrated into one. Since then, Ding Yao and the labour service have been integrated into one. In addition to the people taking the land tax, there is no other corvee service.

In particular, the "spending a person's mu" will eliminate urban industrial and commercial workers, which will be conducive to the development of industry and commerce.

Moreover, the new tax system will give up direct control over farmers, especially landless farmers, and farmers will gain certain personal freedom. Migration or change industries will no longer be subject to strict household registration restrictions.

Li Jing waved his arm and said loudly with some excitement: "The taxes are collected according to the single standard of land, that is, the land possession and possession are used as the basis for tax collection. "There are more land, and the land is less land, and the land is less." This will make the tax burden of our town reasonable and evenly distributed, so that the property of the taxpayers is proportional to their tax burden, thus ensuring the normal tax revenue of the vassal states and maintaining the normal operation of the vassal states."

From the beginning, Li Jing was a killer to ease land annexation, prevent landlords from evading taxes, reduce the burden on ordinary people, prevent escape from hidden households, and increase income from vassal states.

If the tax system of taxes on a tax that is deposited into the acres is definitely difficult to implement, because this system is of great benefit to the court and ordinary people, but for those large-scale landlords and wealthy families, it is a bad plan that touches them with great interests.

However, for Li Jing, he didn't have to worry too much about resistance from these aspects, because the ten states under his rule were almost separatist land, and only a small part of the land is now occupied by the wealthy. A large amount of land was actually newly distributed to the immigrant military households, and they would never object to this plan that was beneficial to them.

The meeting on the new tax system was held for five days in a row. Five days later, the meeting passed Li Jing's new tax law on dividing into the mu. At the same time, it also passed a special industrial and commercial tax law, which set standards for tariffs, commercial taxes, etc., with 30 taxes and one.

After the new tax was settled, Li Jing invited the governors and county magistrates who attended the meeting, including the military, as well as the attending consultations, consultants, and professors to write articles to newspapers, magazines, and weekly magazines to make them praise the new tax law. At the same time, Li Jing also sent people from the Propaganda Department to organize stories, singing and others to promote the specific situation of the new tax law.

On the first day of June, the ten prefectures and fifteen counties under the rule of Li Jing began to collect summer taxes. According to the land acres and ding silver approved by the State Administration of Taxation under the town [***], the land in the ten prefectures and 55 counties was measured, and the land was about 10 million mu. The rated tax per mu is 30 cents, which is equivalent to the yield per mu of 30 taxes per mu, three liters of tax per mu, three liters of tax per mu, twenty-one cents of tax per mu, nine cents of dimes, etc. The thirty cents already include dimes and tuition money, and the household tax is exempted. It is divided into summer and autumn tax.

The tax was not high. The tax in the entire ten states was only 300,000 yuan. For these people, they were levied according to their land, with more land and more taxes, and less taxes. What is more important is that the Yao service that scared the people the most in the past was no longer there.

The State Administration of Taxation sent tax officials to various prefectures, counties and villages to collect taxes with county magistrates, yamen runners, etc. The people no longer have to pay the grain or exchange the grain for banknotes, worried that the merchants would deliberately lower the price. The State Administration of Taxation only collected banknotes, and they had already set them in advance, 30 cents per mu, and paid according to the land they owned.

The summer tax has been received until August. Before, the people could send their grain to grain management offices and grain stations in various counties for sale. Before the summer harvest, the government had set a unified purchase price for various types of grain this summer, and purchased them uniformly and paid them to the banknotes.

The government will issue grain purchase requirements based on the land owned by each farmer. The grain purchased by each household that needs to be paid is generally two-thirds of the remaining food after leaving enough food. One-third of the remaining food can be kept by themselves or continued to be sold to the grain management office for ease of convenience.
