Chapter 211: Zhao Gongzi was arranged
How so?
Because there are two kinds of fields in the world, there are two kinds of land, and the income of the imperial court mainly comes from the taxation of official fields and private fields.
Among them, the tax on official land is several times heavier than that on private land.
The reason why Su Song's taxes are heavier than those in other parts of the country is not because of the discriminatory collection by the imperial court. But because at the beginning of the country, after the defeat of Zhang Shicheng, who was entrenched in Susong, he and his subordinates' fields were collected as official fields.
The proportion of Su Songguantian far exceeds the national average, and the tax revenue naturally far exceeds the national average.
At the beginning of the country, how heavy was the tax on official land?
Even if the wind and rain are smooth, the common people who rent and farm official land have worked hard for a year, and after paying the rent and tax, there is only half a year's ration left.
Although since the Xuande period, the imperial court has continuously reduced taxes on official fields, but the burden is still too heavy.
The common people are still unable to survive by selling their children and girls, so they will naturally flee and abandon the famine in a large area. This is how hundreds of thousands of acres of abandoned land in Kunshan County came from.
The official land was abandoned, and the imperial court naturally had no taxes.
On the other hand, the situation of Mintian is not optimistic.
Although Mintian is only one of ten taxes, the burden is much lighter. But now it has been completely annexed by the big households, and the big households have countless ways to evade taxes, such as contribution, trickery, sprinkling, moving hills, changing sections, changing books, etc., and the government cannot collect taxes.
As a result, Su Songkong has the name of re-endowment, but there is no re-endowment.
The rest of the provinces followed suit, and the imperial court's income plummeted, and a serious financial crisis naturally broke out.
Lin Run's reform of 'one rule for the government and the people, and equal land and equal grain' can be said to be the right medicine.
First of all, the 'Juntian' smoothed out the tax gap between the official land and the private land, greatly reduced the burden on the official land, and allowed the fleeing people to return to continue farming. In this way, the imperial court was able to restore taxes and reduce the number of displaced people.
Second, the 'average grain' will spread all the taxes and consumption of the people into the acres of land, so that those who have more land will pay more taxes, those who have less land will pay less taxes, and those who have no land will not pay taxes.
The so-called consumption refers to the loss and transportation cost incurred in the process of the government releasing the people's tax grain. This is a very heavy burden, even as high as one stone of tax grain.
In the past, the consumption was levied on a household-by-household basis, which was naturally beneficial to the large households with more land, but brought a heavy burden to those with less land.
Spreading the envy into the acres of land can enable the wealthy and powerful households to bear the taxes they have evaded, and can also reduce the burden on the common people, which can also greatly curb the phenomenon of displaced people.
However, the premise of equalizing the land and grain is to clear the acres of land.
Because the Ming Dynasty was founded two hundred years ago, the records on the national yellow book have been chaotic to the extreme, and they can no longer be used as evidence. It must be re-measured in order to clarify the tariff rules and be fair and reasonable.
Therefore, since Lin Run took office, he has been pushing this matter hard. Now that the Jiufu Qingzhang has been completed, only Songjiang is a big problem.

in the apse.
Lin Run glanced at Zhao Hao and said in a deep voice: "It is on the grounds that this hospital is dredging the Wusong River, and asks the Xu family to cooperate with the retreat. If they agree, if they don't, the hospital will forcibly clear them! ”
Zhao Hao saw that the handsome face showed a decisive look of killing, and said in his heart that it was really a wolf annihilation.
It's just that what does this have to do with yourself?
"Zhongcheng is really well-intentioned." Zhao Gongzi smiled bitterly and said, "It's just such a confidential matter, shouldn't I be a kid and hear about it, right?" is not afraid of leaking the news and making the situation passive. ”
"Don't be afraid." Lin Run said with a playful smile: "Since this court told you, it treats you as its own." ”
"Zhongcheng is wrong to love, and the younger generation is terrified." Zhao Gongzi was flattered, and refused to say: "But I'm too young, and I'm not a serious official, I'm afraid there is nothing that can help Zhongcheng." ”
"No, the success or failure of this hospital depends on you." Lin Run looked at Zhao Hao fixedly, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Zhao Hao takes the order!" ”
"Huh?" Zhao Gongzi looked confused. "Take what?"
"Order." Lin Run rolled his eyes helplessly, stood up, and took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve.
Zhao Haoxin said, where is this?
I had no choice but to kneel on the ground and said in a muffled voice: "Minister Zhao Hao accepts the order." ”
"Edict: Zhao Hao, the doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, is a review of the Hanlin Academy, and it should be dispatched by Lin Run, the governor of the Heavenly Patrol, and there must be no mistakes.
"Huh?" Zhao Hao raised his head, his brain buzzing.
"Ahh Lin Run looked at Zhao Hao enviously and said, "Shu Jishi has studied hard for three years, and only after passing the exam can he be awarded the Hanlin review." You are only fifteen years old, and you have received such a noble official without the imperial examination, which shows that Your Majesty loves you. ”
"Thank you." Zhao Hao was speechless and asked Cangtian, which song is this?
Before leaving Beijing, he once entered the palace to see Emperor Longqing once, and paid a lot of money for the pen in exchange for the 'taste of the fresh' plaque inscribed by the imperial pen.
That time, Long Qing pulled him to talk about it for a while, but he didn't mention that he wanted to let himself be in charge of Lin Run.
Seeing that Zhao Hao was stunned, Lin Run didn't correct him and said 'Thank you' was wrong, so he handed Huang Aya to him and said:
"Look at it, it's like a fake. If you really don't believe it, you can write to Your Majesty and ask. ”
As he spoke, he handed a square silver medal to Zhao Hao and said:
"This is given to you by His Majesty, and if you stamp this seal on the fire paint, the express delivery shop will be urgently delivered to the capital in 800 miles, and the General Administration Department shall not open it, and it must be left intact and sent directly to the Imperial Palace."
Zhao Hao took the heavy seal, looked at the seal Yin text of 'rope and sorrow', and the words 'Silver Medal Secret Music' suddenly appeared in his heart.
This is the right granted by the emperor to his confidant ministers to perform the secret seal, which is usually only available to high-ranking officials above the third rank.
Zhao Hao is still 108,000 miles away from Sanpin.
But he didn't feel honored at all, but felt extremely hot.
Looking at the yellow silk and seal in his hand, Zhao Hao finally realized that while he was making a careful layout, he had already become someone else's pawn......
~~
After the two of them sat down again, Zhao Hao smiled bitterly: "What the hell is going on, please make it clear to Zhongcheng." ”
"If I tell you, I don't know, do you believe it or not?" Lin Run also smiled bitterly and said:
"It wasn't long ago that I received this decree, and this seal."
As he spoke, he smiled and said, "Of course, this hospital already has one." ”
Zhao Hao glanced at him, and said in his heart, isn't this nonsense? You are the first governor in the world, so it's no wonder if you don't.
But also give me a green-robed loose official, what does it mean?
Is this really a buzzing idea, or is it an idea to not be a valley?
"Actually, this hospital didn't plan to contact you so early, and we plan to observe and observe. It was the last time I went back to Nanjing, and I talked to Haida people once, and then I made up my mind to come to you for help. ”
I heard Lin Run throw another trump card.
Zhao Hao was completely dumbfounded, why did the sea fighter also come out? What is he mixing up again?
The last time we met, he didn't get to the bottom of it at all.
"Lord Hai, like this official, was sent by His Majesty to Jiangnan on an errand, but he is in the dark and I am in the light, and we have different division of labor." Just listen to Lin Run's explanation.
Zhao Hao understands everything now......
