Chapter 985 The night is cool(2/2)
In the beginning, these things were all upward and good.
It's like taxation.
From the beginning, taxation was only to support the country's finances, to provide food for the country's officials, and to provide clothing and armor for the soldiers guarding the country.
But then the taste gradually changed...
Jia Xu was pacing back and forth in the small courtyard. Although it was already late at night, he was not sleepy at all. The scenes during the day flashed before his eyes. He did not expect that Fei Qian, who was so young, could think of such things.
There are many things about the governance of the entire Han Dynasty.
The tax system involves many things and is widely related. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Mencius once said that taxing tithes was the government of the king. It can be seen from this that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the tax rate for farmers was far from just a tithe.
By the Han Dynasty, the well-field system of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period had been abandoned. Land to the tiller had become the consensus of the vast majority of the people. Land tax was indeed a good governance policy of the old Liu family, and the old Liu family also implemented it consistently.
From the beginning of Liu Bang until now, even Emperor Ling of Han, who was very fond of money, only used other names to make money, and never had any idea of Tian Fu.
Although Jia Xu had some practical insights and realized how much influence Fei Qian had on the tax system of the Hu people in Yongbin and the two prefectures, or in other words, an attraction, as for the land tax economy from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty,
But there is no very systematic understanding.
I just vaguely feel that the tax policy proposed by Fei Qian may be a very huge change for the entire world...
But to what extent it will change specifically and what impact it will have on the future, Jia Xu has been deducing it for several hours from day to now. However, he can still only get a glimpse of it and cannot perceive the whole picture.
Jia Xu believed that everything in the world was in the palm of his hand. If he had any questions, he could just lower his head and take a look. However, he was faced with this problem now, as if he was falling into a thick fog.
You can see some things, but you can't see them all. This feeling of being beyond your control makes Jia Xu feel uncomfortable.
perhaps……
It seems like I should write a letter. I think such an interesting thing should be shared with someone, otherwise it will get boring.
Jia Xu silently raised his head and looked to the west. The stars in the night sky hung like ribbons in the black velvet sky.
