Chapter 499: The Policy Of Sharing One's Share With One's Own Mother Came Out, And The Civ

After finalizing the expansion of the number of agricultural students at Yan Changqing's Wanmin Agricultural College and the recruitment of female agricultural students, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the civil servants, military generals and noble marquis below, and said majestically:

"Next, let's discuss the second thing."

“We want to abolish the per capita tax and implement the policy of dividing every person into an acre!!!”

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, all the civil servants, military officers, nobles and noble marquises present frowned, not quite understanding what Zhu Yuanzhang meant by the policy of "spreading a small family into an entire family".

So the eyes of all the civil servants, military officers, noble marquises, and noble marquises were focused on Guo Yundao, the Minister of Household Affairs.

After all, Guo Yundao was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Zhu Yuanzhang's policy of "dividing the land into acres" was most likely related to the fact that he, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, was responsible for allocating acres of land.

Therefore, it was most appropriate for Guo Yundao to take the lead in asking questions on their behalf.

Seeing the gazes of all the civil servants, military generals and noble marquises focused on him, Guo Yundao stepped forward helplessly, raised his hands respectfully and asked:

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, I wonder what the specific meaning of 'sharing a small family's land' is?!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fell on Prince Zhu Biao standing on the steps of the Dan Palace, and he said calmly:

"Boss, tell them."

Prince Zhu Biao nodded slightly, and then told them the specific content of the "share a small family into an entire family" policy that Yan Changqing told them before when he taught "Dragon Slaying Technique".

Combined with their father and son's subsequent discussion on the policy of "dividing a small family into an area of ​​​​mu", they then explained the more complete policy of "dividing a small family into an area of ​​​​mu" to a group of civil servants, military generals and noble marquises.

After listening to Prince Zhu Biao's explanation of the policy of "dividing a small child into an equal share of the land," everyone was in an uproar, whether it was a group of civil servants or a group of military generals and noble marquises.

After all, the policy of "sharing a small share with an acre" seems very complicated to say.

But in the final analysis, the core is just two points: light and dark.

The obvious point is: "Abolish the capitation tax and slightly increase the current land tax."

The secret point is: "Forcibly transfer the capitation tax from tens of millions of ordinary people to civil and military officials, noble marquises, subordinate officials, gentry, wealthy households, landlords and other groups who own large amounts of land."

There are not many civil servants, military commanders, noble marquises, and noble marquises who can see through the hidden point. Even in the entire court, there are only a few people who can see through the hidden point.

But that point on the surface can be seen by all the civil servants, military commanders and noble marquises in the court.

After all, according to what Prince Zhu Biao said, after the abolition of the capitation tax, the current land tax per mu of land has been increased by a certain amount.

This means that if they, civil and military officials and noble marquises, have ten acres of land, they will need to pay an additional one hundred pence in land and land tax in the future!

If you have one hundred acres of land, you will need to pay an extra amount of land tax!!

If you have one thousand acres of land, you will need to pay an additional ten thousand acres of land tax!!!

Generally speaking, the more acres of land a person owns, the more land and acres taxes he will pay than before!!!

Don't look at the extra money or ten dollars charged, it doesn't sound like much.

However, thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang's institutional reform of the Ming Dynasty's Tongbao banknotes in the past two years, as well as the control of the sales volume, and the official's initiative to collect the Ming Dynasty's Tongbao banknotes when collecting taxes, the popularity of the Ming Dynasty's Tongbao banknotes has been greatly strengthened. the value of.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty Tongxing Baobao, which originally dropped to one hundred cents, can only be used to purchase items worth eighty-five cents.

Now the value has risen again to the original 100 cents, and you can buy a full amount of items worth 100 cents.

Even in some places, one hundred Ming Dynasty currency notes can buy items worth one hundred and ten cents.

So from this perspective, the value of Ming Dynasty Tongbao banknotes is still very strong.

At least the treasure banknotes that have always been in circulation during the Ming Dynasty are now actually equivalent to one tael of silver!!!

Then we take into account the salary and prices of Ming officials today, excluding the commission rewards part of the Ming officials' salaries.

After repeated discussions between Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, the base salary of Ming officials was adjusted to:

The monthly salary for the first-grade official is eighty-seven stone, and from the first-grade to the third-grade official, the monthly salary decreases by thirteen stone to thirty-five stone.

Twenty-six stones from the third grade, twenty-four stones from the fourth grade, twenty-one stones from the fourth grade, sixteen stones from the fifth grade, fourteen stones from the fifth grade, ten stones from the sixth grade, and eight right from the eighth grade.

From the seventh grade to the ninth grade, the number decreases by five buckets, and the highest grade is five stones.

In a good harvest year, one tael of silver can buy about twelve shi of grain; in a bad harvest year, one tael of silver can buy about seven or eight shi of grain.

Taking the average between the two, that is, one tael of silver can buy about ten stones of food.

So taking Zhengyipin as an example, the monthly salary is 87 dan, the annual salary is 1,044 dan, which is equivalent to 104.4 taels of silver.

According to the current calculation, the current Ming Dynasty currency is equivalent to one tael of silver. In other words, the annual salary of the tenth grade is exactly ten points within the Ming Dynasty currency!!!

If this first-grade official has one thousand acres of land under his name, it will be calculated according to the two-tax system, that is, he needs to pay land tax twice a year. (bhed) Then he will need to pay 20 guan more land tax per year than he does now!!!

The basic annual salary of a first-class official is only 104.40 yuan.

Now the "shared income" requires him to pay an additional 20 guan in land tax, which takes up one-fifth of his annual basic salary!!!

If coupled with the land tax that needs to be paid in the first place, then it may not be possible to be a first-class official with a large amount of land.

Half of his basic salary and annual salary must be used to pay land and acreage taxes!!!

If an official has a relatively low official position and owns more land, it is not impossible that all his basic salary and annual salary will be transferred to him.

It is even possible that even the basic salary and annual salary are not enough!!!

For example, the basic annual salary for a ninth-grade official is five dan, and the annual salary for one year is sixty dan.

If sixty shi is converted into the currency of the Ming Dynasty, it would be six guan of money!!!

If this ninth-grade official has a thousand acres of land under his name, then the 20 guan of land and acres tax added by the current wave of "dividing people into acres" alone is enough for him to add six guan of basic salary to his annual salary. All posted back.

In addition to this, it is even necessary to pay an additional fourteen guans to be enough to pay the tax on the one thousand acres of land!!!

Therefore, as soon as the policy of "divide a small family into an equal share" came out, all the civil and military officials, noble marquises, and marquises were in an uproar and reacted fiercely.

No official is willing to spend another fifth, or even more, of his basic salary and annual salary to pay taxes on land and acres.

Therefore, at this moment, whether they were civil servants, censors, generals, nobles, or marquises, they all unanimously spoke to advise Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Your Majesty, the policy of 'dividing a young man into an equal share' is actually a policy that harms the country and the people, and it must not be implemented!!!"

"If there is no 'capacity tax', the imperial court's finances will definitely be unable to make ends meet!!!"

"If things continue like this, it will be difficult for the imperial court to continue functioning, and the country may be in danger!!!"

"Since the chaos of the late Yuan Dynasty to the present, the people have suffered from wars!!!"

"Nowadays, the people of Ming Dynasty have finally managed to live and work in peace and contentment. If His Majesty implements the policy of 'dividing every acre of land into an acre' and raising the tax by ten cents per acre, then the people will undoubtedly be forced to death!!!"

"If His Majesty insists on implementing the policy of 'dividing every child into an equal share', I am willing to die for the people and remonstrate with you in the Heavenly Palace!!!"

"Your Majesty, you yourself said that you would treat the people with light corvees and low taxes, but now you want to increase the taxes on the people's land and acres. Have you forgotten what you said?!!

A group of civil servants, censors, generals, nobles, and marquises were all admonishing impassionedly, which Yan Changqing watched with great interest. He even secretly commented on the content of their respective admonitions in his mind:

[Well, this is specifically said from the perspective of losing the "capita tax", and does not mention at all the increase in taxes brought about by "dividing a person into a mu"!!!]

[Hey, this is a good selection angle! Know how to speak from the perspective of "common people"!!!]

[Hey, good guy, he is even willing to die for the "common people". This is on the one hand to stop the "dividing a small family into an equal share" policy, and on the other hand to gain a reputation for being a die-hard admonition for the people!! !]

[Well, this is not bad, I know how to use what Zhu Yuanzhang said before to dissuade Zhu Yuanzhang in disguise!!!]
