"Reduce taxes?"
Hearing their suggestions, Qin Feng smiled noncommittally.
"Meng De, Lu Shangshu, if I remember correctly, the tax of my big man is already one for thirty tax, right?"
"This……"
Lu Zhi was stunned for a while, then nodded with difficulty.
"Correct!"
"Then what do you think is the difference between reducing and canceling this tax rate?"
"not to mention……"
Having said this, Qin Feng's expression became serious, and he shouted sharply:
"If the members of my Han court need to be supported by poor people, how can you still live in peace?"
"This……"
If Qin Feng doesn't say anything, they haven't reacted yet.
But when Qin Feng said this, everyone in the hall also looked at each other in dismay.
like,
Is that the truth?
These people are eating the salary of the imperial court, aren't they just being supported by the common people?
"Your Majesty, I believe that the common people's taxes can indeed be cancelled!"
Yue Fei, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, took a step forward, cupped his hands with a heavy face and said:
"My big man has gone through repeated battles, and the common people have already suffered terribly!"
"Especially after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, countless families were ruined!"
"If they are still forced to pay taxes, it may have a bad impact!"
As Yue Fei's voice fell, Lu Zhi couldn't sit still anymore.
It's not that he doesn't know the current situation.
But compared with the common people, the survival of the big man is obviously more important!
therefore,
After standing up and cupping his hands at Qin Feng, Lu Zhi looked directly at Yue Fei.
"Master Yue, that's not what you said!"
"If the common people don't pay taxes, where will the money and food come from to feed the millions of troops in your military department?"
"Lord Lu~!"
Before Yue Fei on the side could speak, Liu Bowen, who already understood what Qin Feng meant, stood up with a smile.
"Don't you know that there is another kind of tax called commercial tax?"
"Business tax?"
Chapter 788 Tax Law Announced, States Respond!
In 186 AD,
In the first year of Kaiyuan,
April!
After a series of discussions, Dahan's tax reform has finally come out.
Free!
Free!
Well,
Can't say it's free!
Like those big landowners who earn hundreds or thousands of stones a year,
Not only was there no tax exemption, but a lot of tax was added in disguise.
But it can also be said to be completely free!
because,
As long as they are farmers who rely on farmland for their livelihood, all taxes are exempted!
All exemptions including poll tax and taxes!
Why was there no census in ancient times?
It's because of the poll tax!
As long as you are a living person, you have to pay taxes from an early age!
A better dynasty.It may be collected from the age of three or six.
What if there is a bad dynasty?
You have to pay taxes every year!
That is,
You are just born and you are not sensible yet, your parents will have to pay taxes for you.
Thus,
Ordinary people, don't try to hide their population?
Furthermore,
If there is a census, the people will be the first to oppose it.
who is it?
Local officials!
If you figure out the population, how can they withhold taxes?
therefore,
Basically, how much poll tax is collected means how many people there are.
And now?
changed!
The shackles that hang over the common people for hundreds of thousands of years,
Gone!
Not to mention ordinary people don't believe it, even some local officials can't believe it.
This is white money!
Just gone?
Then these local officials, what will they eat and drink in the future?
Although there is still a commercial tax,
Can be a problem,
Some places are so poor that even businessmen are unwilling to patronize them!
Then how do these officials live?
Rely on imperial appropriation?
Don't make trouble!
1000 taels of silver came out of Luoyang, and it would be nice to have a hundred in their hands!
therefore,
When Jin Yiwei received the news from all over the place and posted the notice, the whole man became restless.
The officials were panicked and said nothing,
Those merchants and aristocratic families wanted to kill Qin Feng even more!
Why?
Because according to the newly promulgated tax law, the business tax is one hundred and thirty.
This is drinking their blood!
unfortunately,
Just when these officials and aristocratic families were about to move.
but sadly found,
Their own backyard is already on fire!
……
palace,
imperial study room,
Suzaku, who hurried back, was talking in a low voice.
After half an hour,
Qin Feng, who was correcting the memorial, stopped and said with great interest:
"You mean, the tenants of the landlord's family quit?"
"Yup!"
Suzaku handed over the information in his hand, and explained helplessly:
"It is said that after the tax was abolished, the common people wanted to open up wasteland by themselves."
"Ha ha……"
After glancing at the information about Jin Yiwei's return, Qin Feng said with a smile:
"It's a good thing, why are you so nervous?"
"..."
Suzaku covered his forehead speechlessly, and said with a wry smile:
"Husband, what good is this? Are you not afraid of those landlords making trouble?"
"make trouble?"
Hearing what Suzaku said, Qin Feng had an inexplicable smile on his face.
"I'm just waiting for them to make trouble!"
"what?"
Suzaku was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Qin Feng meant.
Just wanted to ask again,
But Qin Feng waved his hands with a smile, and said nonchalantly:
"The Liaodong army has withdrawn and dispersed to various places."
"The military generals also took office, and even Gongsun Zan rushed to Jiaozhou."
"As long as someone dares to jump out and make trouble, I can slap them to death!"
"By the way..."
"They can also nationalize their property and fields!"
"This……"
Seeing the calm Qin Feng, Suzaku shuddered shiveringly.
