Zheng Shen said: "If you want to last a long time, you should restore taxes. My Han Dynasty has not collected taxes this fall. I wonder what Your Majesty plans?"

"Zi Yuan, you also know that people have a difficult life for many years of natural disasters and man-made disasters. I have just ascended to the great treasure and entered Chang'an, so that the people should know my kindness."

"So your Majesty wants to be tax-free?"

"I have issued an edict to exempt you from tax this year."

"What are you exempt? Or rent or rent in the field?"

"No taxes, no land rent, no all!"

Zheng Shen was silent for a while before sighing: "Your Majesty is a blessing for all people."

The tuition includes both tuition and tuition, which are both tuition tax. The tuition is aimed at adults and tuition is aimed at minors. In order to suppress business and restrict slavery, businessmen and slaves are doubled. In order to increase their household registration, men and women will be charged more tuition tax if they are not married at the age of age. The tuition is the national fiscal revenue, and the tuition money belongs to the Shaofu, which is the emperor's private money. Therefore, the tuition money is rarely reduced and even the age of tuition is decreasing. It was originally a tuition at the age of seven, but by the time of Emperor Wu of Han, it was reduced to three years old. By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it had already been reduced to one year old. It almost had to pay when it was breathing.

Land rent is an agricultural tax. In the pre-Qin period, "tith tax is the king's policy". During the Qin Dynasty, the tax was heavy, and land rent almost reached half of the harvest. In the early Han Dynasty, the lessons of Qin's demise were learned, and the tax was lighter and less taxes were reduced, and the land rent was restored to ten taxes and one, and then it was reduced, from ten taxes to fifteen taxes to thirty taxes. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Han, land rent was even exempted for a while. In the Han Dynasty, land rent was kept at a very low level.

Wen Jingshi was a small government, which could maintain the operation of the government at a lower level of fiscal revenue. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the scale of the government expanded sharply, and the low tax level could not maintain the normal operation of the government.

Zheng Shen asked tentatively: "Can you still collect the cord?"

The emperor waved his hand: "Don't!"

"Capital sac" is a tax collected by merchants. Emperor Gaozu of Han adopted a policy of suppressing merchants and imposed "Capital sac" based on merchants' property. It was abandoned soon. By the time of Emperor Wu of Han, in order to increase expenses, the collection of Capal sac was restored, and it was stipulated that merchants' property would be paid 120 yuan of property tax for every two thousand coins, and taxes were also collected for passing vehicles. Due to the opposition of merchants, Emperor Wu ordered "Capital sac" to encourage the people to expose each other, and used half of the merchant's property as a reward. The trend of reporting was prevalent, and countless people destroyed their families because of this, and countless people also made a fortune.

Zheng Shen asked about several taxes, and the answer was: No charge.

The emperor meant that after war, the economy was greatly damaged, and it needed to rest and rest, restore its strength, let farmers farm well, support themselves, let the people dare to have children, and increase the population. There was no need to worry about paying money as soon as they landed, attracting merchants to communicate and activate the economy.

This is the principle, but agricultural tax is not collected, cap tax is not collected, property tax is not collected, commercial tax is not collected, this is not collected, and this is not collected, and there is also money and food. Where can I get it?

Zheng Shen said again: "Do your Majesty want to be a member of the mountains and seas?"

Is this asking the emperor, is it necessary to establish state-owned enterprises and monopolize resources?

The emperor finally nodded, "This one can be there."

The first person to propose "official mountains and seas" was Guan Zhong, the prime minister of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period. He said, "Only official mountains and seas are the best", which means that the state controls mountains, forests, rivers and lakes. Sang Hongyang, a financial expert during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, also promoted the official business of salt and iron and liquor monopoly in order to regain the operating rights of important economic fields such as salt and iron from wealthy businessmen and tycoons and reverse the country's financial difficulties.

Zheng Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had an input.

The benefits of mountains, seas, salt and lakes are huge, and they can almost account for half of the national taxes. Now the Gengshi court has collapsed, the huge bureaucracy has collapsed, and the new bureaucracy system is relatively streamlined, which is equivalent to a small government. At worst, it can retreat to the state of light taxes and low taxes in the past. In a few years, the country will accumulate considerable wealth.

But now that the world has not yet settled, there is a need for military service everywhere, which is far from the peaceful days of Wen Jing. The army moves to make money and food. Where can I find this expenditure?

"Take the wool!" Unexpectedly, the emperor has these three words.

Zheng Shen knew the emperor's Three-character Classic of Fleece, and also guessed his plan. Now everyone is having a hard time. The wealthy and food are the tyrants from all over the country. The tyrants occupy large areas of fertile land, build walls, and collect grain for a long-term solution. In the eyes of the emperor, they are fat sheep. Who will they do if they don't deal with them?

But how to pull this wool?

The emperor said: "I haven't thought about it yet, but someone has proposed to collect taxes from the rich in the world."

"No! This is a law to disrupt the country!" Zheng Shen said firmly: "Your Majesty, this matter is very inappropriate. You have just entered Chang'an and have not yet established a stable foothold. You must rely on the power of the powerful people from all over the country. At this time, you must not be enemies with them, but accept the hearts of the world and get their strong support. If you give heavy taxes to the rich, who will follow Your Majesty? That is, Your Majesty's prefect, the chief lieutenant, and the officials from all over the country, who is not a local wealthy family, who is willing to do things for Your Majesty? As soon as the sage order comes out, I am afraid that they will rise up to welcome the soldiers in Guandong!"

"It's right, this matter is indeed very inappropriate. It seems that you have to use a small knife, a soft knife, a thin slice quickly, and a few more knifes will make a lot of meat!" The emperor said this and suddenly licked his lips, "Ziyuan, you haven't eaten, come and have a meal with me. Let's sauté hot pot today!"

At this time, in Zheng Shen's mansion, his disciples were waiting, and they were all guessing what position His Majesty the Emperor would give Zheng Shen.

Fang Zheng said: "The Master is the first to follow Your Majesty. Your Majesty relies on the Master's most to provide disaster relief and farming. I believe that his position will not be lower this time."

He Xin said: "Now the Yang Yan Gang is the most favored by Your Majesty. He was directly appointed by Your Majesty as the Minister of Workers, and the position of Master is at least comparable to that of him."

Zheng Bai said, "It is not clear that high-ranking officials with more than 2,000 stones are occupied by the generals in the army. Feng Yan, a scholar, is only a doctor of 600 stones. Du Lin, who came back from Hexi, is the attendant censor, and also 600 stones. Yang Yanshou is so young, but he is a high-ranking official of 1,000 stones. It is obvious that His Majesty the Emperor was promoted by His Majesty. His father has not seen His Majesty for several months. He does not know what the saints can do. It is not known what they can do."

"I don't believe that even Yang Yanshou can't compare to it, hum!" Fang Zheng looked angry.

In addition to the generals in the army, the emperor's close ministers are now divided into three factions, including the powerful children from Jingzhao Fufeng and other places. They are all the newest newcomers who have been favored and are more in groups. The other faction is headed by Yang Yanshou, mostly by the powerful children whom the emperor went to war against the powerful. The third faction is a Confucian scholar in Zheng County, headed by Zheng Shen. However, because Zheng Shen is not in Chang'an recently, this faction seems a bit lonely. The emperor favors Yang Yanshou, and the new powerful people are also summoned from time to time, including Du Lin from Maoling in Fufeng and Lu Yu from Chen Cang.
