When the great uncle heard this, he hurriedly said to King You: "King You, what are you talking about, the prince is relieved, this time he just stayed there for a while, and when the time comes, you can return to the fiefdom." ”

King You thought for a while, and said to the great uncle, "I wonder if I can see the saint?" ”

"I don't know about this." Uncle Dazong said, and glanced at the ministers who were waiting on the side, and the ministers immediately retreated, and the great uncle saluted to King You, and said to King You: "Lord Wang, the ministers have retired first." ”

"Dazong Boqing walks slowly."

King You looked at Dazong Boqing and watched Dazong Boqing leave here.

The minister went to the Qinzheng Pavilion, but learned that the saint had gone to the Linzhi Palace, so he asked people to go to the Linzhi Palace to deliver the message.

At this time, the sage asked Concubine Ya in the Lintoe Palace, "Huayu, how are you feeling lately?" ”

"Thank you for the saint's concern, the concubine and Yaotan are all right. Sage, the concubine heard that Kang Guogong sent someone to intercede for King You. ”

"Yes, I'm also going to release the Ghost King. I gave the Youwang eight words, people's hearts are like water, and the people are like smoke. I don't know Huayu, what do you think of these eight words? ”

When Concubine Ya heard these eight words, she was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Sage, where is King You's going to go next?" ”

"He is going to Yi'an Mansion, and now the group of people in Xiangyun Mansion are a little difficult. He is a person who knows how to fight, so he will go to Yi'an Mansion to stay first, wait for his sharp spirit to dissipate, and then let him enter Xiangyun Mansion. Xiangyun Mansion has been established as a prefecture and county for many years, and it is not a way to go on like this. ”

"But this sword soldier needs a lot of money and silver."

"Money and silver are indeed a problem, but if you get Xiangyun Mansion, let alone 100,000 acres of cultivated land, and someone surveys to tell you that there are at least a dozen copper mines in Xiangyun Mansion, if this is excavated, there will be at least one million catties of copper, and when the time comes, it will be minted into money, and this military expenditure will come out."

When Concubine Ya heard this, she asked her to hand a letter to the sage, who opened it and looked at it, and said to Concubine Ya, "Is this the tax system that Huayu thinks?" ”

"It was changed by the concubine and the minister's business after a year of discussion."

This tax system does not collect spring and autumn taxes, but uniformly changes to summer taxes.

And it is not collected according to the acres of the field, but according to the population, and a population tax is half a horse of silk, four taels of cotton, and two taels of rice. Every sixteen-year-old man is counted as a strong man, and every woman who marries is counted. Men over the age of 45 and between the ages of 16 and 13 are counted as half. Those over the age of 60 and under the age of 13 are not taxed.

This population tax, with or without land, is treated equally. If you don't have money, then you go to labor and earn it by serving others.

Moreover, whether it is a prince or a prince, if the number exceeds the prescribed number, the excess population must also be taxed according to the number of people, so as not to shelter the displaced people under the prince and cause them to become bigger.

The sage took a look, paused at Mi Lianghu, and said to Concubine Ya, "Is this tax a little heavy?" ”

Concubine Ya said to the sage, such a tax is not heavy, for small households, it is only three stone rice a year, and now even if the field is poorly guarded, two acres of land is enough. The Yu Dynasty had 220,000 mu of cultivated land, of which 100,000 mu was official land and 120,000 mu was private land, while the population of the dynasty was less than 20,000, of which more than 60 million were cultivators.

The advantage of paying taxes in this way is that only 10 million people in the Yu Dynasty do not have to pay taxes, so that the imperial court pays more than 30 million taels of taxes a year, at least 10,000 taels.

After hearing this, the sage said to Concubine Ya: "This is still a bit high, it is good to collect taxes according to the number of people, and now the court does not lack this bit of silver, it is better to have half a horse of silk, two taels of cotton, and one piece of rice." ”

Concubine Ya said to the sage: "This is the sage's thoughtfulness, but since ancient times, every time the court is sympathetic to the small people, there are always people who get in the way, and the concubines think that this time it is necessary to supervise the good life, and not let the big households evade taxes and the small people suffer." ”

"That's right, but I'm afraid that the tenant farmers will be kicked out because of this."

The Wei Dynasty followed the peasant system, that is, the land was leased to the peasants, and the rent was collected on time every year.

This is the iron-clad rule, regardless of disaster or abundance. It's okay to say in good years, but in old age, this policy will not work.

First of all, the imperial court has to levy taxes, and the landlords are urging rents, both of which are like urging people, and the people can't survive, so they can only be displaced people and participate in the civil uprising.

The Yu Dynasty learned this lesson and implemented the tenant farming system, which was to hire a family of peasants, and no matter how much the family planted, it was the landlord's. But on the other hand, the landlord also had to support his family, and when that person was sixty-five years old, he would not have to work. And their offspring, after the age of sixteen, can decide to stay.

Of course, compared to serfs, these people still have some power, and if they are innocently whipped or abused, they will be treated as if they were wounded and wounded.

Before the first year of the Constitution, these landlords naturally used these people as cattle and horses, not to mention that they lived to be 65, even if they were 50, they would be few.

In the first year of the Constitution, Emperor Wen felt that it was not a way to go on like this.

Originally, this method was to distribute the displaced people to the landlords, so that the landlords could support the displaced people for the state.

Now because there are not many years since the founding of the country, the merger is not serious, and there are not many tenant farmers.

But if this continues, if the court declines and a large number of tenant farmers are produced, will it still do this, it will definitely provoke a large-scale popular uprising.

So he added this law, so that at first there were naturally landlords who were unwilling to raise tenant farmers, but the land could not be cultivated by themselves, so they had to approve it.

What the saint is worried about now is that if such a tax is implemented, then the landlords will not be willing to support tenant farmers, after all, the cost of this will be high, and when the land tax was implemented in the past, they could not let the fields be empty and pay taxes plainly, so they used tenant farmers.

When Concubine Ya heard this, she said to the sage: "This is actually for the good of the people in the world, there are fewer tenant farmers, and the big families in the village want to buy the land, and one person can't be used by two people, and in the end, they will naturally continue to hire people, and the concubine thinks that Yunge Mansion is empty, so it is better to let some people farm." ”

"Is Yunge Mansion suitable for planting?"

"In the past, when Di was in the past, he also planted wheat, so you can try it."

When the sage heard this, he nodded and said to Concubine Ya: "This is a national policy, I can't make a decision for a while, and after going to court tomorrow, I will discuss it with the courtiers." ”

Concubine Ya nodded, saying that this matter is indeed urgent.

The sage took this national policy and returned to the Qinzheng Pavilion, and at this time the minister also announced: "The king of Youyou wants to see the sage, I don't know if the sage is willing to see him." ”

The saint thought about it, and went to the Three Provinces Palace, and when he arrived at the Three Provinces Palace, King Youwang saw the saint and saluted to the saint.

The sage sighed, let the You King get up, and then said to the You King: "Seventh brother, when you see me, I don't know what you want to say?" ”

"The younger brother just wants to ask the saint, the younger brother is going, what does the saint have to explain."

"All I have to explain is those eight words, when you get there, you can think slowly, think slowly, and when you figure it out and think it through, everything will be easy to say."

When King You heard this, he looked at the sage, then sighed and said, "What if the younger brother can't figure it out for the rest of his life? ”

"No, a person's life is very long, eight words, not much, you go, think hard, think hard."

The sage patted King You's shoulder and said to King You: "These eight words, it's not difficult to understand, but it's difficult, you don't want to think about it, you don't want to think about it." Go, go, seventh brother. ”

The saint left here with mixed feelings, and when the time came, the saint went to the court and announced this national policy.

The ministers naturally discussed a lot, and the local officials opposed it the most, this Chen Dynasty was Ding Yin before, and there were too many disadvantages according to the people in the Ding Dynasty, and it was changed to Tian Fu in the Chen Dynasty, the so-called field is more tax, less land is less tax, and there is no land and no tax.

At that time, some people directly sold their fields as homeless people because of too many taxes, while large families bought land, opened up and opened up relationships, and concealed reports from top to bottom.

These displaced people couldn't survive in the end, so they could only rebel, and the Chen Dynasty went to suppress it, and then as soon as the war started, there was more military salaries, and the treasury had no money, so it could only collect taxes. This, in turn, only forced the peasants to sell their fields.

In the end, the Chen Dynasty evolved into more and more bandits, more and more chaos, and chaos became more and more peaceful.

At that time, Emperor Wei Wudi, the uncle of the country, took advantage of the opportunity to get the support of large families, and his military salary relied on the support of the family, and he did not ask for it from the people, and won the hearts of the people.

This is also the reason why the family maintained the government after the establishment of the Wei Dynasty.

At the beginning, the Wei Dynasty used silver to buy land from the family and gave it to the farmers, and finally improved the tax, implemented the whip method, and paid the silver money directly for any talent tax, and finally ended up being controlled by the family and ended up with the Chen Dynasty.

After the establishment of the Yu Dynasty, he felt that the land was good, after all, the family occupied a lot of land, and did not collect cashiers, but exchanged rice and silk, and the treasury was gradually enriched.

The local officials believed that the land endowment could not be changed, and even those who had no land could become tenant farmers, not displaced people.

And if it is according to Ding Yin, what should these people who have no land do? They have to rely on money to buy rice and cloth, and even if they are substitutes, they can't make much money.

They want to be tenant farmers, but the big families may not agree, and these people have no way to survive in the end, so there is only one way to rebel.

The local department believes that it is beneficial for the family to collect Ding Yin, after all, they don't have to pay the field endowment, only Ding Yin. Now that there is so little silver, this is calculated, and it is still a good deal for them.

"Is this Ding Yin inconvenient for the people?" The sage felt that this Ding Yin was even less than Tian Fu, and it was also a good thing for the people.
