In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan beat Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 252

As soon as Li Ke said this, the audience was in an uproar.

shit.

Each person can only own six acres of land, is this still a woolen business?
What about those aristocratic families?What about those nobles?
Changsun Wuji smiled, this guy is really crazy.

He does not deny that land tax is a good idea.But your step-by-step tax collection is a bit unworkable.

Among the officials present, who doesn't have any land at home?Not to mention six acres, which one is not more than a few hundred acres?

Let's not talk about other people, just say you, Li Ke, occupy thousands of acres by yourself.

I would like to see how you accept this field.

Changsun Wuji watched his ears and nose, and his nose watched his heart. The old god was standing there, waiting for a good show.

Li Ke said: "Everyone, don't make any noise and listen to me. I think there is nothing wrong with my suggestion. Six acres of arable land is already the limit of one person. If there is too much, it will not be possible to cultivate it. Isn't this a waste? ?”

Changsun Wuji smiled, stood up and said, "Then your Highness, King of Shu, owns thousands of acres of land. What do you think?"

Li Ke said unhurriedly: "I have Shiyi. I have 2000 Shiyi, and only 6000 mu of land. According to this calculation, the average person only has three mu of land. Is that much? I want to own 1 mu of land That's what's appropriate."

The officials' eyes lit up immediately.

yes!Shiyi can also be regarded as family members. According to this calculation, their family has less than six acres of land per person!

In this day and age, it is really the limit for one person to cultivate six acres of land.Therefore, they were not so disgusted with Li Ke's proposal.

Changsun Wuji said blankly: "His Royal Highness, so you have to pay taxes on your 6000 mu of land?"

Li Ke said as a matter of course: "Of course, in the Tang Dynasty, except for the emperor, no one has any privileges.

For example, you, Zhao Guogong, have only 1000 food towns, but you own tens of thousands of acres of land. Tell me, how do you farm?Isn't this pure waste?

Therefore, you have to pay double the tax for the extra land.This, you have no objection? "

Changsun Wuji was speechless.He really wanted to rush up and slap Li Ke twice.

Changsun Wuji thought for a while, then said in a strange way: "Then what about those people who spent a lot of money to hoard land?"

Li Ke said: "Uncle, you, the head of civil servants, really have no brains at all? The extra land will be sold to those who need it. What is there to ask?"

Changsun Wuji suddenly felt his blood pressure soar again.

He gritted his teeth and said, "In this way, the price of the land will inevitably drop. If you sell it like this, won't you die at a loss?"

This is exactly what Changsun Wuji was worried about.He has only one thousand food towns, and can only own 6000 acres of land.What about the extra thousands of acres?
Shiyi is something that can only be rewarded by the emperor.It cannot be increased by other means.

Therefore, his eldest grandson Wuji can only own 6000 mu of land at his limit.

What?You said his sons?A son belongs to a son, and his eldest grandson Wuji belongs to his eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Ke said with a smile: "Whether it can be sold at a good price or not is a matter determined by the market, so what does it matter to me?
Is it possible that if you buy something, you will definitely make money?Where in the world is there such a good thing? "

Changsun Wuji was speechless.Can't say it!
That's right, Li Ke's policy is to return these surplus fields to those low-level people who have no fields to cultivate.

You don't want to sell?That's ok, pay double tax money!

This policy is clearly aimed at those aristocratic families, landlords and rich people.

These people have no food, but occupy a large amount of land as landlords.Beautiful you!

If you don't want to pay double taxes, then give up the land!If you can't sell it and don't pay taxes, then it will be state-owned.

This is reasonable.

In the court, many people had bitter faces.No way, they seem to have more land.

These officials, except those princes and nobles.Everyone else has no food.

Then the question arises, there are only a dozen or so No. 20 people in their family, including maidservants and servants, so what to do with the thousands of acres of land they have occupied?
There is no way, there is no other way except to sell and hand it over.Pay double tax money?nonexistent.

Li Ke, the king of Shu, has no conscience even with guns, so you'd better not mess with him.

That's right, this is Li Ke's second fire as a new official.

If it was proposed by Li Shimin, they might jump out and fight for it.

But if Li Ke brought it up, forget it.Can't win.

The most important thing is that once Li Ke's policy is promulgated.It is bound to get the support of all the bottom people.

Are there more people at the bottom or more landlords?
At that time, if the landlords and old fortunes don't implement it, those low-level people will really dare to beat the local tyrants and divide the land.

With national policy support, what are they afraid of?

As soon as Li Ke's policy was put forward, it was equivalent to a certainty.

Because the people all over the country will support him.

This is what the people want.Who dares to object, jump out and try.

Li Ke said: "Okay, this policy is settled like this, Mr. Fang, please draw up a decree and promulgate it tomorrow."

Fang Xuanling hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Here, I will definitely handle it well."

Li Chengqian sat there without saying a word.It feels like being a puppet.

There is no way, the new official takes office three fires, and it is not easy for him to jump out and object at this time.Most importantly, he didn't want to object either.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.

When Li Ke is dealing with aristocratic families, dealing with landlords and wealthy people, and supporting the people at the bottom, he must be in favor of it with both hands.

Li Ke nodded, and continued: "Just collecting land taxes, the court's money is still not enough.

Next, for the development of Datang, we need to build roads, reservoirs, and many convenience facilities, which requires a lot of money.

As the saying goes, take it from the people and use it for the people.Starting from today, we are going to levy an additional tax, which is commercial tax. Do you have any objections? "

As soon as Li Ke said this, everyone was in an uproar again.

Collect business tax?This is another policy aimed at rich people like them!

Those people at the bottom, who has the money to do business?
And among these officials, which one doesn’t have a shop?

Li Ke said: "Starting today, my wine workshop, cement factory, etc., including all the shops in my Dongshan Chamber of Commerce, will start to pay taxes.

My Shang Shuling may become Datang's first major taxpayer.You officials won't object, will you? "

A bunch of officials are very angry.Can those small shops in our family compare with your Highness Shu Wang?
But it's still the same sentence, the ministers have taken the lead, do they dare to object?

Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was the first to jump out and said: "The minister is wise, and the officials feel that businessmen can earn a lot of money without producing goods, so they should pay more taxes.

Acting Majesty, I think this proposal is very good, and I would like to ask your acting majesty to approve it. "

All the officials were speechless, you are Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in charge of money, of course you are happy.
