Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 256
"Lin'an, Shaoxing, Mingzhou, Wenzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Wuchang, Xiangyang, and Chongqing are all big cities with about 20 households and official houses."

"This is the population of our cities in the Great Song Dynasty. Even if one household has three people, each city has a population of 60." Li Gang pushed the plate in front of the officials, and put grains of rice on it.

At this moment, Zhao Huan saw that Li Gang was holding a handful of rice in his hand.

This grain of rice is a city, scattered on the plate.

"The appearance of the night market to a large extent represents the prosperity of the city, so officials, our Song Dynasty is very prosperous. A big city with dots." Li Gang dumped all the rice on the plate.

Li Gang put the wine bottle and wine glass on the plate, and continued: "At the end of the Dao Dynasty, the Zhengfu was about 2000 million guan, the tax collection was about 100 million guan, and the business tax was about 400 million guan. This high-level wine bottle, It’s my Great Song Zhengfu, and this one-inch-high wine glass is my Great Song’s business tax.”

Zhao Huan nodded. The total is about 500 million guan. The official tax is the agricultural tax, and the tax and commercial tax is the non-agricultural tax.The proportion of agricultural tax accounts for about [-]%.

"At the end of Tianxi, the agricultural tax was about 3000 million guan, while the non-agricultural tax was about 4000 million guan. At this time, the wine bottle is the commercial tax, and the wine glass is the agricultural tax. The agricultural tax only accounts for [-]%."

"Today, the agricultural tax is still 3000 million guan, but the non-agricultural tax has reached 6000 million guan. Officials, at this time, the agricultural tax is less than [-]%. But the commercial tax accounts for [-]%. Officials, this is my big Song's tax structure."

Zhao Huan nodded, he understood Li Gang's meaning.

Li Gang was showing off his wealth. Li Gang told him that the annual financial income was nearly [-] million yuan.

"However, due to various reasons, the business tax of the Song Dynasty is to let the outsiders and gangs in the city contract the tax."

"Taxes on wine, vinegar, ponds, markets, ferries, etc. are collected by outsiders and gangs in the city."

"The taxable amount is calculated by the Ministry of Finance, and after the investment is contracted, the contractor, that is, the person who rushed to buy, pays taxes to the government according to the quota, and then the excess goes to the outsiders and the gang."

"This is the way the business taxes of the Great Song Dynasty are collected." Li Gang finished speaking and looked at the new emperor with vigor.

He said so much, hoping that the officials can understand some of the business and taxation operation system of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Huan frowned and looked at Li Gang.Asked tentatively: "These outsiders and gangs are colluding secretly, will they arbitrarily increase taxes on the common people?"

Li Gang nodded and said, "More than that!"

"What Yuanwai and these members of the gang have done has reached the point where people and gods share the anger. There are only two types of commercial taxes in the Great Song Dynasty. The tax is worth two per hundred, which is for merchants. The residence tax is worth three per hundred. Yes. It was drawn against Zu Jia. That means the business tax in Song Dynasty is very low.”

"I recently got to know Bianjing City at the foot of the emperor. Paying taxes, merchants get one out of ten, residential taxes, sitting in merchants, three out of ten!"

"That is to say, the tax revenue of outsiders and gang members is about ten times higher than that of the Great Song Dynasty Hall?" Zhao Huan was stunned, stunned by this figure.This directly doubled the income by ten times!
"Wu Min, Li Yu, and Li Bangyan, when the officials ransacked their homes, didn't they think that they were richer than the Kaifeng governor at that time, His Royal Highness King Yun?" Li Gang said straight away. Mystery.

The collusion of these officials, outsiders and gangs, is constantly gnawing at the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty!
"They're all the moths of the country! The big tree of the Song Dynasty was eaten away by such a little bit!" Zhao Huan finally knew why he was able to copy so much money.

I still have more than [-] million yuan in my current internal funds, and my feelings are usually owed to the court by them!
"Officials, it is imperative to reform the business tax system. This kind of rush-buying system is no longer suitable for the current Song Dynasty. Now they have cleverly set up names and continue to set up taxes and taxes, but what is handed over to the court is a quota."

"The profit from Pumai will be used for the so-called gang building. As the gang grows stronger in the city, it will become more greedy and keep raising taxes. I am afraid that within ten years, it will directly lead to the collapse of the Song Dynasty. Business tax collapse. Officials, it’s time to reform business tax.”

After hearing this, Zhao Kai finally understood what Li Gang was going to say.It's just that he was a little puzzled, and asked, "Li Dazai, why did my Song Dynasty use these gangsters to collect taxes? Is there no one in our province?"

Zhao Huan was very puzzled.

"In Song Dynasty, there were officials but not officials. Officials." Li Gang replied.

"Officials are officials who are appointed by the imperial court, paid salaries, regularly evaluated for promotion and dismissal, have ranks, and can make decisions. They are called officials. Officials appointed by the imperial court are officials. Officials, the servants of the imperial family, can be regarded as the emperors of the Song Dynasty. official."

"Yamqian, special deputy, Kudaozi, Zhangzhi, jailer, and soldiers are all in charge of specific affairs, but these public officials are all selected by ordering officials to go to the place. The officials can guess how they are selected. Got it?" Li Gang asked.

Zhao Huan's face became even more ugly, and he said, "Squires, landlords, outsiders, and gangs are entangled together. The local power is too strong, and the officials can only compromise. So, these officials and officials are actually the dogs of this group of people?"

Li Gang took out the big plate again, and said sadly: "Officials, look at this wine bottle, it's taller and taller, and this wine glass is about an inch high. This wine bottle is for these country gentry, landlords, members, and gangs. And this wine glass is actually He is the court official of my Great Song Dynasty Hall."

Zhao Huan's face was cold, he slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily: "Then whose Great Song is this Song! This world belongs to me! Or is it their world?!"

Zhao Huan always thought what was Song Dynasty?It is highly centralized, and every time you talk about the Song Dynasty, it is the peak of centralization and other words.

Until Li Gang put the plate in front of him and explained it clearly to him.

Only then did Zhao Huan realize how aggrieved the Emperor of Song Dynasty was.

Who owns this world?

"Of course it's the government's world." Li Gang said hastily, shaking his hands repeatedly.

Li Gang pointed to the hand holding the plate and said, "It's the official's hand. Turning your hands into clouds, turning your hands into rain. Otherwise, can the officials be the emperor?"

"If you can't see the wine bottle, throw the wine bottle. If you can't see the wine glass, throw the wine glass away. There are people in the Song Dynasty, and there are talents in the Song Dynasty. There are also people who are dedicated to serving the country."

Li Gang suddenly raised his hand and smashed all the wine bottles and glasses, and then said: "The officials are in the court, let the ministers know who is the enemy."

"The minister told the officials that the enemies of the Song Dynasty, in the eyes of the minister, the Jin people are the enemies, but the wine bottle and the wine cup, they are also enemies!"

"If officials want to drink, they have to rely on this wine bottle and wine glass."

"If the officials drop the wine bottle, the plate will still be the same plate. Without the wine bottle and wine glass, it's just that there is no way to drink for a while."

Li Gang looked at the officials with a smile, he would definitely give Zhao Huan face in the court, since the national policy of recuperation he wanted had already been obtained, naturally it was what the officials said.

But in private, I still have to tell the officials that Song's enemies are not only barbarians, but also these people.

Zhao Huan suddenly threw the plate in his hand on the ground, and the plate clanged all over the place.He smiled and said: "I think you, Li Dazai, want to say this. If I don't work hard, Da Song will be gone if he says it's gone."

Li Gang's face was pale, and he looked at Zhao Huan with some horror.He did have this meaning in it, but the officials, who were obviously drunk, actually saw it.

It is the prime minister's duty to help the country.
