Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 546

The land that Datang legally does not pay taxes, and the people who do not pay taxes.

Let's take Qin Qiong as an example. Qin Qiong's title will have corresponding tax-free acres, then the official land given by his official position, and then Qin Qiong's real seal currently has [-] households.This is the total number of legal tenants. These people do not need to work or pay taxes. All the taxable part of their output belongs to Qin Qiong.

Of course, Qin Qiong can also quietly add some more tenants, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households will not investigate in such detail.

The nobles, they are different from Qin Qiong, they still have the fields left by their ancestors, but after the war, many fields were deserted, and the government also organized an official reorganization during the reign of Wude, and some land was taken back.

But still much higher than what they should actually be legally exempt from tax.

The meaning of Cui Junsu's persuasion is that he has already seen that the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty must really take action to rectify this part, and the excess part must be taxed.

Cui Junsu said again: "During the time of the Three Kingdoms, the law of Cao Wei."

"Really?" Wang Jun asked in surprise.

Cui Junsu nodded silently. He has made it very clear, and the Tang officials have stated several times that the world was chaotic after the Han Dynasty, and Tang ruled the world as the law of the country.

That means that no one should talk about all the laws and regulations after the Han Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty would not recognize them.

Liu Mu asked Cui Junsu in a low voice: "Cui Gong, which one are you talking about?"

"Dian, Fu!"

Hearing these two words, Liu Mu understood.During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao was indeed a talented person. The tax laws he implemented were divided into three types, one was the land rent and household adjustment of the registered households, and the second was the rent and tax of the Diannongbumin. kind.The third type is rent and tax from scholars.

Among them, the rent and tax of the scholar's family was collected by the mu, about ten qian per mu or four liters of grain.

Therefore, it is not a new thing to say that Liumu's stalls are in the mu. These knowledgeable nobles have already thought of Cao Cao's gentry rent tax.

After a while, Wang Jun said in amazement: "It is recorded in the history books that Cao and Hong Shouyang were equal. It was indeed in the time of Cao Wei, from Cao himself to the common people. It can be said that there was no one except slaves. A tax exemption, compared to this, my Tang Dynasty is still kind."

"I won't mention the old saying, just talk about this right now." Cui Junsu stopped talking about some changes that the nobles will encounter in the next few years, because this matter has nothing to do with this time, and many details still have to be placed on the court. talk about.

Liu Mu stood aside and patted his head. He couldn't remember the period when the gentry were completely exempted from taxes?

Ming, or Song?

"Prince Liu." Cui Junsu shouted.

"Ah, let's talk about the current matter." Liu Mu also stopped thinking: "The biggest advantage of my idea is that you can share more fields for land reclamation, as long as you can afford the tax. Then, you can live as much as you want. I am not afraid that the large number of people in the family will affect my life."

"It's better to try this method in Shannan Dongdao." It was Zheng Yuanxuan who spoke.

Land reclamation in Shannan Dongdao is a huge opportunity for his Zheng family. He wants to take this opportunity to reclaim a large amount of land and legally own the reclaimed land.

"Old Zheng, what we're talking about right now is the issue of the tenants on Wa Island." Cui Junsu helplessly interrupted what Zheng Yuanxuan was going to say. These words also need to be discussed at the court, not on Wa Island.

"I support."

After Zheng Yuanxuan supported it, everyone also expressed their support.

Then the elder of the Lu clan said again: "It seems that this Shannan Dongdao can really try this method."

Liu Mu was dizzy all over. I remember that there are historical records in later generations that Braided Chao Yongzheng put in so much effort in order to actually distribute the household income to the mu. Without the cruel official Tian Wenjing desperately implementing it, it would have been impossible to succeed.

But the nobles of Datang were extremely supportive.

When you think about it carefully, the reason is that the nobles of Tang Dynasty actually still have to pay taxes, it’s just a matter of paying more and paying less.

The nobles wanted to legalize their illegal land by using this appropriation.

"Everyone, everyone." Cui Junsu shouted: "What we are discussing now is the matter of the Donggang Shipping Department. To borrow a sentence from Liu Concubine, what is the annual income of all the fields in your family, and how much is the annual income of the West Port Shipping Department. That's heavy, that's light."

Everyone sat down again, and almost unanimously supported Liu Mu's plan to implement the plan of dividing the population into mu on Wa Island.

Liu Mu didn't go back to his seat, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "The next step is a poisonous plan. The younger generation hopes to get the support of the elders and the improvement of the plan. In the younger generation's plan, there will be no or as little grain as possible on Wa Island. , all their fields are used to grow cash crops."

"Mulberry forest is a cash crop, and the benefits are greater than farming."

"What do they eat?" Fang Xuanling who had been listening silently asked.

"The Xigang Shipping Division is responsible for supplying all the food it needs. There is rice that is not very tasty, but it is cooked three times a year. But the real high-yielding grain area has not yet been occupied, and a war may be needed, so give us some soldiers."

This time, a plan with a thickness of one inch was sent to everyone.

"This is an outrageous trick. Didn't the Japanese send you a beauty, and she is also the daughter of a top nobleman. There is such a trick, weird, weird." Du Ruhui said with a smile while flipping through the plan book. .

Liu Mu was very serious: "Why did the Japanese go to Silla? How does Duke Du understand it?"

"Tawanwan Island, I heard from Mr. Pei that there are many mountains and few fields, and there are constant wind and rain disasters. In particular, there are earthquakes every year, and the vibrations are extremely terrifying. Some people have seen giants tens of feet high. Waves come from the sea, and everything is destroyed by the sea. Silla is much more stable, and the fields are good."

Du Ruhui, as the top think tank in the Tang Dynasty, such a problem is not difficult for him.

Liu Mu chuckled: "The land in the Tang Dynasty is better, the fields are vast, and the weather is good..."

"Thinking words, but there is no basis for it. Such speculation that a small country is suspected of violating morality makes people wonder whether it is an excuse." The smile on Du Ruhui's face disappeared instantly.

"Du Gong!" Liu Mu came to Du Ruhui and clasped his fists in front of him.

Du Ruhui also clasped his fists back with a smile, "Consort Liu."

"You always say that I'm making excuses, if the younger generation wants to punish that small country, when did you make excuses?" Liu Mu asked back.

Du Ruhui shook his head: "Not before, doesn't mean there won't be in the future. Concubine Liu is a good minister, but his heart for external expansion is like Sima Zhao's. Expansion is not a bad thing, but there must be a limit. What's more, crossing the sea is different from going along the seashore. There are many difficulties in the transportation, not to mention the fact that it is necessary to speak a word of reason.”
