Chapter 191 Four words, bring it to you!(2/2)
"Young Master Fang, if you are a scholar who has passed the exam and have won the exam, you will also pay taxes and serve as the poor. I am afraid they will not accept it. At that time, what should I do?"
Old Li couldn't help but refute.
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely calm at this time. The old god was sitting aside drinking tea, watching the group of people argue.
I don't say anything, I'll just look at you.
"Authentic, what you said is not unreasonable."
Fang Shiyu nodded and agreed with the statements of the group of people.
The reason why the court gave them the privilege of not paying taxes to serve was not that Emperor Hongwu was so kind, but that Emperor Hongwu needed them and the court also needed them.
Let’s not mention the royal children. They are all of them, Zhu Yuanzhang’s seeds, so they naturally have to protect their children.
It is inevitable that the soldiers will be rewarded with privileges and death.
In all dynasties, those who can fight to kill the enemy only for justice in their hearts and for the people of the country and the people, except for the Yue family army, who will freeze to death and not demolish houses, starve to death and not plunder, will only be left with soldiers who will not take the masses one by one, and none of the other people can do it.
Including the Qi family army, which had fought against Japanese pirates for decades in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, is no exception!
Qi Jiguang is a national hero, but he should be greedy, not at all!
As for scholars, the court naturally needs them.
Before the founding of New China, all dynasties in China had the highest control strength and could only reach the county level.
Public security below counties can only be managed by local gentry and family members and prominent families.
The imperial power did not go to the countryside, and the gentry ruled all directions.
That's what I said.
If there are no local gentry and noble families, the government offices in various prefectures will not be able to operate at all.
And almost all people in this class are from scholars.
This is why Emperor Hongwu was extremely strict with officials and was so generous to the gentry and family!
Emperor Hongwu didn’t want to be so generous, but there was nothing we could do!
"Then you tell me, how should you deal with it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang finally started asking.
"It's not difficult to say it's hard, it's not easy to say it's simple!"
"Everything in the world, everything must be stopped within your capacity and act within your ability. In short, just one word, that is, the measure!"
"As long as you have this degree, everything will be easy to measure. It is extremely unfavorable for the court to exceed this degree or be below this degree."
"The Mongol Yuan is far beyond this level and is able to suppress the gentry and family as a sect. Yiran has a bandit style like a nomadic people."
"And Your Majesty is far below this level. It is so good to the gentry and family, so good that there is no bottom line at all!"
"It is obviously wrong whether it is the Mongol Yuan who is beyond this level or the current Majesty is below this level."
high!
It's really high!
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. Sure enough, I gave me too much money!
I shouldn’t have taken the opinions of Lao Liu and Lao Li at the beginning. These scholars just want to be like this. Why do you do so much?
Isn't it extravagance?
Raising a tiger is a disaster?
"How should Mr. Fang solve the problem according to his opinion?"
Old Liu couldn't help asking.
"It's not difficult. The court only needs to introduce a policy, which will give different degrees of privileges according to the respective social status of the gentry and family, and the local prosperity, and exempt different amounts of taxes and corvee."
"It does not need to be completely exempted. For example, if you pass the exam, you can have a tax-free amount of ten acres of land, one hundred acres of juren, and two hundred acres of Jinshi."
"Of course, what is mentioned above is a wealthy place, a dangerous and barren place like Jiubian, which can be used as a moderate amount of too high tax exemption. For example, Xiaoqi gives him a tax exemption of 100 acres. Xiaoqi in a wealthy area can only enjoy a tax exemption of 10 acres, etc.."
"The same is true for serving. For example, scholars can be exempted from one person, juren can be exempted from two people, and jinshi can be exempted from five people. Of course, the specific amount depends on the court itself to adapt to local conditions and measure it in detail. I am just giving an example."
"In the tax exemption limit of the court, you can not pay taxes, but outside the tax exemption limit of the court, you have to treat everyone equally and everyone has to pay taxes and serve."
"In this way, everyone does not have to worry about studying hard without benefits, and the court will not have no taxes and no one can use it. It can be said that it will kill two birds with one stone!"
Fang Shiyu said slowly.
"It's amazing!" When Fang Shiyu's words came to the ground, Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately overjoyed!
As long as we follow Fang Shiyu's method, even if the gentry and family have a lot of land, as long as I block this amount, I still need to pay taxes and serve!
As long as you have this amount, you don’t have to worry about the common people going to contribute!
As long as you exceed this amount, I will pay taxes and serve me, whether it is your own or others' contributions!
Not bad!
It's really high!
When I returned to the palace, I asked Lao Wu to quickly implement this policy and quickly promote it and implement it!
But, the amount of our Zhu family can be increased appropriately!
Those soldiers who work hard in Jiubian have a hard life, so they should improve their lives appropriately!
As for the gentry and family in the local prefectures?
It would be nice to give you some credit points. Do you want more?
It's back on you!
Believe it or not, I will cut you down directly, so that none of you can fall into it?
Four words, bring you!
"Okay, okay!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was still unsatisfied and said three good things in a row!
"Let's submit a memorial to Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty adopts this suggestion, the Ming Dynasty court will be rich and will be just around the corner!"
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang not only played the role of an athlete, but also served as a referee, so he made a decision directly!
When the rest of the people heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Those present were all big shots, and Lao Liu, who was the lowest-level, was also an earl!
Although the title is not high, the status is very high!
According to His Majesty's character today, he naturally cannot treat them unfairly.
As for Lao Luo, Lao Wu and others who are not present, they can’t care so much. You can find a way to go!
"Mr. Fang, the first few moves have been played, but what does the so-called intercepting fire consumption mean? Let me tell us!"
When everyone was relieved, Lao Liu couldn't help asking again.
"Does this thing need to be said? As the name suggests, it is to intercept part of the fire consumption and give it to the prefectures in various places. You are so smart, you should understand it?"
Fang Shiyu looked at Lao Liu in surprise and asked in confusion.
Shouldn’t this question be asked by Lan Yu or Chang Mao’s 25-year-old?
With Lao Liu’s IQ, shouldn’t you not understand?
Fang Shiyu's words fell, and Old Liu's face suddenly turned red.
In fact, Lao Liu really understands it, and thinks it is literal!
But there is no way. Fang Shiyu is so awesome. How could such a simple and easy-to-understand thing come from Fang Shiyu's mouth?
All Fang Shiyu’s policies are worthy of being a masterpiece!
Unfortunately, this cleverness was mistaken for being so clever. I didn’t expect it to be literal.
"Boy Fang, what do you mean?"
"I just finished talking about the fire consumption and the public is here. Now I'm going to intercept the fire consumption again. Isn't this shooting myself in the foot?"
"I'll ask you, does your face hurt?"
"It's also given to the prefectures in various places. What else would those corrupt officials do besides being able to fill their pockets? What's your solution? Isn't this a pure bad idea?"
When Fang Shiyu finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ran away!
Did this little bastard do it on purpose?
How could I have the face to say that I forced officials all over the world to embezzle?
Chapter completed!
