Chapter 681 Sanyantang
Seeing that Ma Hong's attitude became a little stiff, Lang Wuxu was naturally very unhappy, but he did not dare to show it. Instead, he showed a look of panic and hurriedly said, "Since the master of the ministry has given orders, the subordinates can only dare to speak out!"
Ma Hong's expression was relieved and he smiled and said, "We should work together. Lord Lang, you have been in the Ministry of Revenue for a long time than my official. Although Lord Chu is young and promising, he has not been in the Ministry of Revenue for a long time. You, Lord Lang, are the most familiar with the matters of the Ministry of Revenue. Of course, we still have to listen to your opinions."
Lang Wuxu cursed in his heart. Ma Hong obviously did not dare to offend Chu Huan. Within a few words, he pulled Chu Huan to his side, but forced Lang Wuxu to express his opinion.
What a person Lang Wuxu is? The Secretariat of the Central Committee threw the problem to the Ministry of Revenue and was preparing to let the Ministry of Revenue be a scapegoat. At this time, Ma Hong threw the problem to Lang Wuxu, preparing to let Lang Wuxu be a scapegoat for the Ministry of Revenue.
Lang Wuxu felt like a mirror in his heart, but at this time he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, so he could only smile and say, "Since the master of the ministry said this, the subordinates were brave enough to talk about their immature opinions." After a pause, he finally said, "The subordinates feel that the current situation in the northwest is unlikely to have any complete solutions. If the subordinates make a decision, they can only give up the small disadvantages and seek big benefits!"
Ma Hong immediately said: "What does Lord Lang mean?"
"The letter submitted from the northwest is accurate." Lang Wuxu said: "Our Ministry of Revenue cannot provide money and food, and the war in the southeast is tight. Although the Ministry of Revenue is raising money and food everywhere, our energy can only deal with the southeast. In this northwest... Master, thank you, the officials said bluntly that the court has no energy to take care of it. At the beginning, the court focused on the northwest, but because the troops in the West Liang were in full swing, they could enter the pass at any time. Foreign enemies invaded, so we had to deal with it. The situation is completely different now. Foreign invaders have withdrawn from the pass, so we don't need to put our energy there. However, the war situation in the southeast is fierce, so we can only take care of the southeast."
Ma Hong thoughtfully and asked, "What do you mean is to let the nobles of the second road of the Tianshan Mountains enter Xiguan?"
"We don't have the surplus grain in our hands to transfer it to the northwest, and at this time, it is even more impossible to increase the tax." Lang Wuxu said: "Mr., the subordinate officials said that the current situation is not a choice. In the end, without food, we cannot solve the matter in the northwest. It is not a bad thing for the northwest tycoon to come up to offer suggestions. Although their minds have other plans, at this time, it has also solved a big problem for the court."
Ma Hong leaned on the chair and said, "The guys in the northwest have a big appetite. They want the court to exempt the tax from the three roads for three years. How much money will the court need to lose in three years? The land of the sixteen roads of the Great Qin account for 20% in the northwest, which means that in the next three years, the empire's fiscal revenue will be 20% less every year. But I guess the court's expenses will be more than now in the next few years. What do you think our Ministry of Revenue will use to support the expenses of the court?"
Chu Huan finally spoke: "Mr. Master, we have a rich life, but when we are poor, we will tighten our belts. The northwest suffered a war disaster and the people suffered. Even if the tycoons of the second road of the Tianshan Mountains did not require tax exemption, in order to appease the people in the northwest, I think the emperor would consider appropriately reducing taxes. The subordinate officials had a very shallow knowledge, but they felt that the current situation should still stabilize the people in the northwest from the war, so that they could eat rice and live in houses first. As long as they recovered their vitality, they could produce with peace of mind and the empire could have taxes."
Lang Wuxu immediately said, "It's not bad, Master Chu, Lord of the Ministry, Lord Chu is right. If the northwest tyrants cannot rebuild the northwest on their own, then the court will probably have to spend a large amount of money and grain every year to rebuild the northwest in the next few years. Now that the tax exemption is for three years, it is impossible to collect taxes from the northwest, but the court does not have to invest a large amount of money and grain to use it in the northwest. In this way, the court is still suitable."
"In this way, Lord Lang strongly agrees with the act of renting land for the wealthy families in the northwest?" Ma Hong smiled and said, "Today, Lord Lang's words made me suddenly enlightened. Hahaha, Lord Lang is worthy of being an old minister of the Ministry of Revenue. The benefits and disadvantages can be explained clearly in just a few words." Xiang Chu Huan laughed and said, "Mr. Chu, we should ask Lord Lang for advice in everything in the future!"
Lang Wuxu was frightened, and Ma Hong's pretending attitude was so terrifying in Lang Wuxu's heart that he felt a little nervous. After these words, it seemed that Lang Wuxu strongly supported Northwest Self-Building.
He felt so angry that his teeth were itchy, but he smiled and said, "I dare not, I dare not, Master Takashi is too proud." He asked carefully, "What does Master Takashi mean?"
"Actually, I am very unfamiliar with the affairs of the Northwest." Ma Hong said modestly: "I was favored by the emperor and entered the Ministry of Revenue. Everything was still quite unfamiliar with everything. Fortunately, Lord Lang is an old man among the officials, and Lord Chu also walked through the northwest. Speaking of which, both of them have better understanding of the Northwest than my official." He smiled and said: "Mr. Lang, since you have said that, our Ministry of Revenue has also agreed on the regulations for this matter. If you have done it, please write a memorial to clarify the meaning of the Ministry of Revenue."
Lang Wu was shocked again, but he still said respectfully: "Midian, this is really necessary to make a clear statement from the northwest, and there are still many things to do...!"
Ma Hong had already said: "We have to worry about everything. It is not enough for the three of us to grow ten heads. We have decided on the overall situation. If other specific matters are required, we should leave them to the lower level. Moreover, this is just the regulations issued by our Ministry of Revenue. Whether the upper level agrees or not, we must listen to the court's instructions."
Chu Huan suddenly said at this time: "Midian, if the northwest memorial is approved, how would the wealthy families in Xiguan Road feel?"
"Master Chu, does this Xiguan Road still exist?" Ma Hong smiled and said, "It is said that there are seven surnames in Xiguan Road. Now the seven surnames in Xiguan Road are wandering around, so how can they still look like it? The reconstruction of the northwest still depends on the northern mountain of Tianshan Mountain. The wealthy families in Xiguan Road are no longer reliable." He was about to get up and Chu Huan smiled and said, "Midian, you can't say that!"
Ma Hong's butt had already left the chair. When he heard this, his butt fell back. He first frowned slightly, and then smiled and said, "Mr. Chu has any other opinions?"
Chu Huan said, "I dare not, but I just thought that the reconstruction of the northwest is urgent, but as the saying goes, it is good, and it is urgent to be impressed. If you do things in Tai Chi, you may have any changes!"
"Change?" Ma Hong looked cold: "What happened? Is someone going to rebel or someone going to rebel?" He picked up the teacup and said lightly: "There is a mess in the southeast. Our Ministry of Revenue should also focus on the energy of the Ministry of Revenue. If the matter in the northwest can be done earlier, it is better to do it early. There are many dreams at night. If there is a change in the northwest, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Chu Huan said: "The three northwest roads are rebuilt, among which the Xiguan Road is the most important. Wars rage Xiguan Road, and Xiguan has suffered hardships from top to bottom. As the saying goes, good, in the face of great trouble, people are in the same kind of virtue. At this time, Xiguan Road seems to be a mess, but it is wandering outside, but they are all taking care of each other. The feeling of hardship is extraordinary. If a document goes down, two wealthy families in the North Mountain Tianshan Mountain will be allowed to enter Xiguan, turning the land deeds of the wealthy families in Xiguan into empty texts. The officials are worried that the people will be dissatisfied at the West Pass!"
A light flashed through Ma Hong's eyes, but he still smiled and said, "Mr. Chu is worried that the wealthy families in Xiguan will not accept it?"
Chu Huan said: "This song is naturally the rich people of Xiguan."
"Master Chu is overly concerned." Ma Hong smiled and said, "The current Xiguan family is different from the past and is nothing. Moreover, the court must focus on the overall situation and always sacrifice something in order to take into account the overall situation. The Xiguan family has nothing but the land deed. Could it be that they have to rely on the waste paper in their hands to rebuild Xiguan? Lord Chu, this way of choice must be understood. As for the people of Xiguan, they may not have any good feelings for the Xiguan family. The court allowed the two families of Tianshan, Beishan, to allocate grain to enter Xiguan to farm. After all, that is also for the people of Xiguan to live. This is a good thing. What does the Xiguan family look like? I don't think the people of Xiguan are concerned!" Looking at Lang Wuxu, he asked, "Master Lang, do you think this is the reason?"
Lang Wuxu smiled and said, "Yes!"
Chu Huan said: "What the tribe said is naturally good. However, the land deeds of the Xiguan nobles were abolished, and there were so many people in the various Qin dynasties holding land deeds. I wonder what those people would think?"
"I'm in a hurry to follow the power!" Ma Hong tasted a sip of tea and said, "The current situation in the northwest can only come up with this bad plan." Looking at Chu Huan, he asked back, "Does Lord Chu disagree with the Northwest's memorandum?"
"That's not." Chu Huan shook his head and said, "The Xiaguan just expressed his own opinions. The Xiaguan thought that it might not be impossible for the two noble families in the North Mountains of Tianshan to enter Xiguan, but the matter has to be done more tactfully."
"Oh?" Ma Hong smiled and said, "I hope to hear it carefully!"
Chu Huan thought for a while and said, "The officials felt that to make the northwest truly stable, at least three types of people must be considered." After a pause, he said, "First, they are naturally the wealthy families in the second road of the North Mountains of Tianshan Mountain. Since they want to make their own contributions to the reconstruction of the northwest, the court will naturally not pour their cold water on them. They are also an important part of the reconstruction of the northwest, and we should pay attention to it. The court agreed to rent land with food, so if they took into account their desire to serve the country."
"What about the other two?"
"The second type of people are of course the people of Xiguan Road." Chu Huan said solemnly: "This is precisely the most important foundation for the northwest. The northwest needs to be rebuilt, and the rich families contribute their efforts, and the people are the forces to restore production in the northwest. However, the court also has to plan more for their situation, only taking care of the rich families, but ignoring the people. The northwest is still rare to be stable!"
"Mr. Chu's words make sense." Lang Wuxu immediately said: "We must not underestimate the people in the northwest, especially the people of Xiguandao."
"What does Lord Chu mean?" Ma Hong stared at Chu Huan.
Chu Huan said seriously: "The wealthy families entered Xiguan and they distributed grain. This land was naturally to let the people of Xiguan Road farm. In addition, the Ministry of Revenue should also formulate a charter. The people of Xiguan were destroyed and their families were in a situation that was much more difficult than those in the pass. If the court exempted taxes, it would not be exempted from taxes, but from taxes from taxes. When there was a harvest, the exempted taxes would be used to rebuild their homes, so that they could rebuild their homes." A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The two wealthy families were not.
Is it said that the grain was just to help the court rebuild the northwest? That's great. As far as the officials know, the taxes in various Qin dynasties, on average, the court collects 30% of the taxes, and the landlords nominally charge 30% of the taxes, but they are often more than 30%. This time in the northwest, the court's taxes are exempted. However, local construction requires that the court cannot allocate silver to the northwest, so 20% of them can be handed over to the local government to collect. The remaining 80% of the wealthy families are still 30%, and the people can get 50%!"
Ma Hong's eyes twitched, his eyebrows were locked, and before he could speak, Lang Wuxu had already agreed: "Mr. Chu's proposal is good. Since the wealthy families in the northwest say that they want to rebuild the northwest, they will give them the opportunity to serve the country. When the harvest comes, 30% of the grain will be more than enough to make up for the grain they have invested. Local governments confiscated 20% to maintain the operation of local governments. The people will get 50% of the energy. In a few years, they will soon recover." Fu Xu said: "Mr. Master, once this order is passed to the northwest, the people will definitely be happy. Seeing that they can have enough food and clothing, I think no one is willing to give up a good life, but they will still cause trouble in the northwest." He gave Chu Huan a thumbs up and smiled: "Mr. Chu puts the people first, but it is the way to solve the turmoil in the northwest. It's high, really high!"
