Gao Yue no longer had any worries and confessed to Liu Yan loudly:

"The boy wants to reform the two tax laws. From now on, in the southeast of the Jianghuai River, the tax laws that fully pay for money will be abolished. The people use cloth, rice and other physical objects to offset the tax amount, and eliminate the gap between false estimates and actual estimates of cloth. In this way, the boy believes that it can not only alleviate the money shortage and private casting situation, but also cultivate the financial resources of the people in the eight roads of the Jianghuai River."

Liu Yan nodded and then asked: "Why does Yisong think that it is a good thing to not allow the people to pay money?"

"Shi Yan, the boy was in the northwest, Xingyuan and Huainan, and he believed that he had known the situation in the world. The most painful thing about scholars, farmers, industry and commerce is the farmers. From spring to winter, they raise silkworms, reel silk, sow seeds, crops, livestock, and plant trees. They are spring plowing and summer farming, harvesting and storing in autumn. Have you ever had half a day's leisure? However, 90% of the world are farmers. They are the foundation of the court and country. The tuition comes from the fields and the service comes from people. It has been the same since ancient times. . However, farmers planted grains, raised animals, and weaved cotton and silk cloth, but they could not make money. Now the court forced them to use money to pay the tax, so they could only sell the hard-working income for the whole year to merchants at a low price, then pay the money. The court taxed them a bucket of rice, and they actually had to pay the income of five buckets of rice, and they actually had to pay the income of five pieces of cloth. They were busy all year round, and after paying the tax, Xiao Ran Without anything, I can only go to the market to exchange some salt and sauce. After returning home, half of the wheat rice, rice, half of the rice, and half of it, and some salt sauce, is the greatest delicacy that people can enjoy in their lifetime. Some farmers, if they spend their entire lives, cannot even have a piece of money, and even if they eat mutton, pork or fish and shovels." Gao Yue was obviously excited when he said this, "The court forced the people to discount money and pay taxes, which is equivalent to forcing the money to force them. In the treasury flowing into the Shangdu Chang'an, the emperor's Daying Qionglin treasury will habitually seal a considerable portion of it. As a result, the money in the world becomes less and less, which is because of the shortage of money. The people's goods become more and more cheap, and the grain is cheap and the farmers are injured, and the cloth is cheap and the workers are injured. They have no choice but to take risks and enter the deep mountains and lakes of the Jianghuai River, either for mountain sheds, for river thieves, or for private smelting furnaces, and steal coins. This is the fundamental reason why the imperial court has been repeatedly banned."

"Will you ever think about why the imperial court uses money to pay taxes?"

"For example, in the copper production areas of various places, the court set up a field to allocate the power of forging spring coins into their hands, and then minted the money and could be used directly. This is a layer of income; and the other layer, through taxation, the money was forcibly collected from the people again. As a result, most of the cash was transferred to officials, and the market was rarely converted. Money was getting more and more expensive, but the grain and silk utensils became cheaper. The court used a small amount of grain and silk utensils to exchange for a large number of grain and silk utensils, like an axe saw, and merchants, travelers, workers and peasants were suffering more and more. It is not difficult to imagine that farmers would become bandits, or give up their land and seek food."

"In addition to abandoning farmers and businessmen, they are recruited by Fangzhen Jiedushi as soldiers, and rely on licking blood from the knife to get rewards and money. This is the fundamental reason why Fangzhen is unable to suppress it, right?"

"The boy thinks it is...so his idea is that since Helong has been restored and Helong does not produce mulberry and hemp, he let the eight roads of the people in the southeast of Jianghuai use cloth and rice, and 20% of them are exchanged for money. The coins minted by prefectures and counties with copper pits are no longer sent to the capital, and are given priority to local use. Then they are circulated with the goods and vendors. This will not only alleviate the shortage of money, but also prevent the people from exploitation. As for the cloth paid, it will be delivered to the capital as light goods, and can be sent to the capital for military pay to the generals and soldiers who are in Helong, so that no matter what, there are cheap things."

Hearing this, Liu Yan said to Gao Yue with a serious expression: "Yi Song, you have thought more thoroughly and profoundly than before the Jinshi period." Then he sighed and said, "I used to open the canal transportation, change the common law, and establish the salt law. Now it seems that it is just a time to save the times, and it is far from being called a salvation! The financial resources of this world are all achieved by the people. I practice the salt law. Although there is no tax increase on the surface, I still use tea, salt, and wine, which are originally unavoidable for the people, to take away the sweet taste of the taste, and use it to satisfy the auspiciousness of the government and the suffering of the people's survival. "

Gao Yue was also ashamed and sweating.

In fact, in order to take power, he also developed many disguised tricks of stealing and gathering.

But ideals are always ideals, and reality is always reality.

In this era, any feudal dynasty's management of the country often cannot obtain wealth through "open source" or increased production. For no other reason, due to the technical limitations in the agricultural society, there are only so many fields in the world. Perhaps through the early light taxes and levies, rest and rest, the people's household registration can be reproduced, and more wasteland can be opened up to collect more taxes, labor and soldiers, and the so-called prosperity. However, all of this will always encounter bottlenecks with the limit of the dynasty's territory. In the end, the number of fields stagnates and cannot bear the unlimited rebate of household registration. The cake of wealth becomes thinner and thinner, but the ruling class's arrogance and extravagance becomes increasingly ignorant. In order to squeeze more wealth for its own expenses, the tax-collecting team, namely the bureaucratic group, and the tax-protecting team, namely the army group, are also required to maintain these two groups, and the capital still has to be borne on the people.

This is the crux of redundant officials and redundant soldiers.

In the end, when the cost of taxation and protection is heavy to exceed the limit that the whole world can bear, it is inevitable collapse. Through self-destruction, the collapse swallows all healthy and unhealthy cells in society, eliminates most of them, retains the surviving small parts, reorganizes the country, and starts a new round of the process of making, spreading and cutting cakes, repeating over and over again.

To put it bluntly, the wealth of the feudal dynasty was a cycle of going from zero to ten, then self-destruction and then returning to zero.

Thinking of this, Gao Yue couldn't help but think of Wang Anshi.

Is Wang Anshi's reform the so-called "state-owned capitalism"?

No, stop being funny.

The most fundamental reason why capitalism is superior to feudalism is that capitalism also knows that while brutal exploitation, it develops production and innovates technology, and thus gains more wealth, that is, it knows how to "make the cake bigger"; while feudalism only exploits workers, searches for the county system, and tax-bearing system, and only has different ways of exploiting and cutting cakes. (As for the economic development of the Song Dynasty, it is even more funny, it is nothing more than exploiting than the middle and late. The Tang Dynasty was even more tragic, and the financial resources of the whole country were collected, making the book numbers of the tax numbers beautiful. There was a considerable amount of taxes in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and it was true that it was consumed by Fang Zhen. However, in order to obtain more of this part of the tax, the Song Dynasty also greatly increased the cost of tax collection, and was consumed by redundant officials and soldiers. Fang Zhen in the middle and late Tang Dynasty at least undertakes a considerable part of the national defense tasks. The Song Dynasty spent the vast majority of its finances, but completely rebuked the army. This efficiency was not as good as that of the separatist vassal states in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.)

Wang Anshi's "state-owned" is actually to concentrate the ointment and blood obtained by exploiting workers into the emperor's hands to the greatest extent. His ultimate goal is to turn the emperor into the largest landlord and the strongest exploiter in the world.

This is also the root of his failure: the emperor exploited more, and the scholars and officials exploited less, so the reform was fiercely opposed by the vested interests;

Whether the emperor exploits or the literati and officials exploits is the same pain for the people, so the reform cannot be supported by the people.

Who will fail if he doesn’t fail?

Just using "bad employment" is impossible to make excuses.
