The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 496 The Strongest Enemy ([-])

"I heard that when I checked the household tax in Yizhou, Ji Yan also presided over the household tax check in Luoyang?"

"I'm ashamed, there was such a thing in the past, but compared with Da Sima's household tax investigation, which increased Yizhou's household registration by [-] to [-] percent. Xiu's investigation has little effect. After two years, the household registration has increased by less than [-]%. "

"Well, in the past, Jin's country had great achievements, and the household registration base was naturally large. Of course, it was impossible to increase by 20.00%, but even less than 5.00%, which is too little. What does Ji Yan think is the problem?"

"There are many reasons. Let me give you an example. When Sima Anshi issued an order to check the household tax, he specifically asked Hongnong Yang's family to take the lead in responding. Yang Wenchang also wrote a letter to the person in charge at Hongnong's hometown asking for cooperation. But Xiu The officials sent to check the household registration, a total of more than 60 people in three consecutive batches, all disappeared. For this matter, Xiu also asked Jia Gonglu to send out to Zou Cao to investigate, but ten people went to Zou Cao, and all of them disappeared. Missed. In the end, only Shangshutai directly issued a strict order to the Hongnong Prefect's Mansion, requiring that the household registration of Hongnong County must be increased by [-]%. After that, the Hongnong Prefect's Mansion quickly completed this requirement. But Later, what Xiu saw at Shangshutai was that [-]% of the population in Hongnong County had increased that year, all of them were elderly people over the age of [-]. Most of these people were reported to have died of illness in the second year. Disappeared from the national register."

The Kanto family is so arrogant?Speaking of which, the Yizhou family is simply cute and harmless to humans and animals, and the Yongliang family is a good baby who occasionally rebels, but is generally obedient.

But the Jin State's household tax check is also nonsense: you are cutting the flesh of the family!How many people did you send down?Do you really think that people will obey an order?When Ji Han checked the household tax, didn't he see that the general led the troops to count the heads on the spot?Should there be more bureaucracy?Ah, that's right, Wen Xi's Pei family is not yet a super family, so how can there be any reason for a super family to do their own thing?

"Well, everyone, Yi checked the household tax in Dahan, that's what he did..."

"Great Sima is very brave. But Xiu couldn't be like that in the past. Because in the old Jin Dynasty, on the surface, the domestic aristocratic family didn't openly own a large number of tribes and private soldiers like the Soochow family, but in fact they were fully capable. It has been organized with considerable strength. Moreover, in the past in the Jin Dynasty, there were many clan kingdoms in addition to the aristocratic families, and the kingdom guards in the hands of these people were also quite impressive. If they really sent troops, it would be impossible to say that the prince personally led the kingdom guards to fight against the imperial army. Which general would dare to really attack?"

"Well, so, in the end, Jin's household tax check is just for everyone to look at the emperor's face and release some old, weak, sick and disabled, so that it can be seen on the books?"

"Well, some serious officials and some family members who understand righteousness are not ruled out. But what Da Sima said is basically the truth of the matter."

"Hey, I really have some sympathy for Sima Anshi..." Guan Yi smiled and said to Pei Xiu and the others: "This year, the eight prefectures of the Kanto will cancel the autumn tax and continue to maintain the nine-rank Zhongzheng system. You think there will be What's the situation?"

After this question was raised, Pei Xiu, Ren Kai, and Qiao were hesitant to speak, but Zhang Hua stood up and said, "Da Sima, if this is the case, the life of ordinary people will be much easier, and the speed of family expansion will be rapid." Down. However, I’m sure that there must be a lot of people from the upper middle school among the people sent up by the eight states of the Kanto region this year.”

"Hahahaha, Maoxian is an honest person!"

As a farmer of the N generation, Guan Yi is too aware of what the so-called agricultural tax is.

The agricultural tax after the founding of the People’s Republic of China was about a quarter of the current year’s harvest due to the decline of all industries when the country was first established and all funds could only come from the soil.This ratio, compared with the behavior of pre-conscripting decades later during the Republic of China, is a benevolent government.

In the 60s, the industrial layout was initially completed.The agricultural tax rate was reduced to about one-tenth.

In the 80s, the tax in kind was changed to a currency tax, and the tax rate was gradually reduced to 5.00%.

But is the life of farmers getting better?It's getting better, but compared with urban residents, this kind of goodness is not enough.The gap between the rich and the poor between urban and rural areas is further widening.

In the 21st century, the country's secondary and tertiary industries have gradually flourished.An order from the state: complete abolition of agricultural tax.As a result, all kinds of fees added to the agricultural tax disappeared.Farmers' life quickly improved.

Going back to this era, Guan Yi said that the eight Kanto states would not collect taxes at all this year, so local officials in these eight states would not be able to arbitrarily increase various fees on the basis of national taxes.Then, the burden on farmers is not a matter of reducing the country's regular tax a little, but reducing too much.The self-cultivator's life is better, so naturally he will not consider selling the land to the family as a serf.The aristocratic family must be greatly upset.

After the economic "loss", the family will naturally find a way to make up for it politically.

Ah, you said that the Jiupin Zhongzheng system will continue to be implemented this year, isn’t it because you just won this piece of land this year, and you are afraid that we will make trouble to appease us?What about next year?It must be changed to the damned probation system, right?it is good!This year, we must push all the young children from various families to the top at once, so that they can obtain the qualifications to be officials!
Ninth grade, from up to down, generally speaking, up and down refers to being as perfect as a saint.Therefore, since the beginning of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, no young scholar has been able to obtain the upper rank.The highest is Shangzhong.

This is incredible. Once you get this grade, under normal circumstances, the first step is to start with the prefect of the lower county or the upper county.If it is in the central government, it is often a mid-level official of a certain department.Therefore, generally speaking, the grade of upper middle school is rare in normal times.It's not the eldest son of various aristocratic families, don't even think about it.

But this year is different, this year is the last carnival under the circumstances that everyone is very unhappy - we don't have any expectations for the public enemy of the family like Guan Zifeng.Therefore, this year, in addition to the son-in-law, the son-in-law of the side branch must all get up.It doesn't look good if there are too many upper and middle parts, but the upper and lower parts are also okay.

As for your Dahan government questioning our evaluation results?Hi!In the past, when the state of Jin was in power, talents were not visible.After you big man came, the talent blowout ah!This shows what?It shows that the big man obeys the destiny!If you wipe out all these people during the final review, your emperor will have trouble with it, right?

Therefore, Zhang Huacai said that this year's evaluation will definitely include a lot of high school...

"Hehe, it's okay, Maoxian. Since we said that the eight prefectures in Kanto will implement the nine-rank Zhongzheng system this year, we must recognize it. And I have already written the new governor and prefect of the five prefectures in Hebei, asking them to respect the customs of each place and not Immediately participate in the tasting of Dazhouzheng in each state."
