Chapter 655: A lot of taxes
Duling, also held in February.
This kind of major gathering, which is only held twice a year, is also a rare time to publicize and promote the decree.
Chang'an is surrounded by the core of Beifu, and the propaganda work of the new law has already been completed, while the surrounding Lingyi County lacks enough judges to understand it.
Duling's February Society was held on the east bank of Chanshui, and rows of wooden planks were erected on the shore, which were processed by Lantian Wood Mill with the help of hydraulic power, nearly two feet wide and four or five feet high, and then planed and flattened, and even smeared with a layer of unpleasant wood oil before leaving the factory.
Therefore the planks on which these laws were written...... Let many people look at it, how good should it be to take such a smooth and smooth wooden board home and make it into a table and bed?
Du Shu, who has become the history of Cao Zuoshi in the county, explained the new code of law to the villagers, and a "Household Separation Law" is only more than 300 words...... This is already the content of Tian Xin's detailed description, if you use the style of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, you can explain the "Household Separation Law" in more than 100 words.
The more concise the text, the more concise the message will be?
However, this also increases the difficulty of learning the text, and it also increases the difficulty of studying and interpreting the law.
The imperial court has always set up two imperial historians, which are the two living existing legal interpretation machines...... Without such a living machine to translate, explain, and correct authoritatively, the laws of text transmission will certainly be misinterpreted and enforced.
The more detailed the interpretation of the legal provisions, the easier it is to learn and promote, and there are not so many 'incurable diseases' that need to be scrutinized.
In the next two or three years, Du Shu will be responsible for publicizing the laws and decrees related to the civil law, such as the law on the division of households, the law of golden cloth, the law on tax increases for the rich, the law on military service, the law on marriage, the law on the license to exploit mineral deposits in mountains, forests, lakes, and lakes, the law on taxation, the law on customs duties, the sanitation tax on the city, the decree prohibiting the killing and wounding of slaves and maids, and the decree on the self-redemption of slaves and maids by proclamations of officials and people, to every township and every community.
In addition, there are three laws and regulations related to the life of government soldiers and Han soldiers, such as "Regulations on the Management of Han Soldiers' Families", "Interim Principles for the Management of Fang District", and "Military Rank Subsidy Matters", which are promoted and publicized by military officials.
In the future, Guanzhong will form a situation in which the common people and the government and soldiers live together, and it is the management principle that they live together but do not live together.
Regardless of the neighborhood, or the township or the village, the area of each square has been divided, and after the spring plowing and farming are busy, poplars and willows are planted at the border to demarcate the boundary.
The number of households that can live a self-sufficient and prosperous life in the area will limit the number of households in the area. The surplus population that has been reproduced will be transferred to the nearest people and handed over to the county government for resettlement.
All civil law-related legal promotions, not expropriation, have targeted goals.
Needless to say, the sub-household law is the basis of the ruling of the northern government, and too many new laws are linked to the sub-household law, and if the sub-household law is finished, then the tax base of the northern government will be over.
This is a great weapon to disintegrate the clan, and every piece of land in Beifu is beaten down, not donated by others, and there are no subordinate and powerful armed forces in various counties and counties, so although there is resistance to the division of households, it is not to the point of raising troops to fight.
If the household separation law is implemented, the subsequent tax law can be followed up and implemented.
The rich tax is a new tax law enacted only this year, and its collection ranges from the Tian Xin family, to the military nobles, to families whose wealth exceeds three times the average wealth of the county...... A tax coefficient is imposed every three times, up to 60% of the total annual income.
And Tian Xin's family, the income obviously exceeds the average line countless times, and pays sixty percent of the annual income. This income was distributed as a military rank subsidy for the officials of the Northern Prefecture, and the funds were earmarked. If the officials of the Northern Prefecture still want to receive a military rank subsidy, they have the responsibility to maintain and expand the wealth of the Tian Xin family.
The gold cloth is a new use of the old law, but it only reiterates the specifications of the coins in pass, as well as the length, width, and weight of the silk cloth. After the area of each piece of cloth is fixed, its thickness determines the weight, and as long as the weight of the cloth allowed to circulate and sell is stipulated, the channel for profiteers to steal chickens will naturally be eliminated.
The Military Service Law is a supplementary explanation of the supplementation and dismissal of government soldiers, as well as the detailed rules for the conscription and mobilization of county soldiers under the government military system. In the future, county and county soldiers will only be recruited, trained, and used as auxiliary corps, and in principle, they will not be used as the main force.
The marriage tax is simple, and there are two main contents, one is the protection of the property rights of the husband and wife; One is to levy a penalty tax on men's savings side rooms and concubines, of which there are exemptions for military merit titles.
The main blow is to the strong and strong who have privately saved women, and when the ruling efforts continue to deepen and the population survey work is fully implemented, these strong people will either pay heavy punishment taxes or be dismissed and released, so that women can have the right to remarry.
In an era when women were generally scarce, there was little resistance to the formulation and implementation of this law.
A wife, a flat wife or a small wife, is not taxed; Only if there are more than three, the penalty tax will be levied, and for each additional side room and concubine room, the coefficient will be increased by one level...... There is no upper limit to the coefficient, and it is possible to penalize bankruptcy.
The commercial tax is a supplement to the existing law, and it is still one of ten taxes.
The phenomenon of tariffs is very common, and the five major tax customs in the Han court are abnormal, because the county, the county's powerful and powerful, and the officials jointly seek profits, and it is really common to set up road cards to collect road taxes. For example, the Ji and Han courts only set up five large tax customs to crack down on the private tax cards set up by the counties...... It's an anomaly.
According to common sense, there should not have been a city gate tax, but this kind of tax still exists, and Tian Xin changed it to a city gate sanitation tax here.
This is a tax collected from the residents of Chengfang, and it is okay not to pay it, but you have to serve for the sanitation and cleaning project. And it is definitely impossible for outsiders who come to Guibao Land for the first time to serve in the health project, so they just need to pay some money. The tragic scene of the epidemic is still deeply imprinted in everyone's mind, and there is not much resistance to the special health tax.
The only bad thing is the lack of circulating money among the people, and the lack of available five-baht money for tax payment...... So the difficulty is not in the public opinion of the tax, but in the circulation of coins.
The establishment of the Shaofu Bureau, the development of mountains, forests, lakes and mineral deposits, as well as the aquaculture industry, also need to pay this tax, said to be a tax, in Tian Xin's understanding, it is the Shaofu Government Office on behalf of the imperial court to lease the royal family's forbidden land development permit, which is the rent of the licensed development.
With this explanation, the people who pay the tax will also feel much more comfortable...... The officials who levy this tax are directly under the Shaofu Bureau, so they naturally have to do their best for the emperor's taxes.
There are also two laws on the protection and self-redemption of officials and private slaves, which belong to Nanyang's old policies.
Nanyang Haoqiang can be drastically implemented, and more than 10,000 households can be directly moved to enrich Jiangdu Yin; But this is Guanzhong, so it should be relatively soft, and give Haoqiang a buffer time for private slaves.
Although Wu Zhen killed a lot, there are always surviving heroes, and such a little bit of heroism should be protected so that targeted laws can be formulated.
In this way, we can accumulate experience in dealing with it, so that it can be promoted to other states and counties in the future.
That's right, throughout the spring, Sergeant Guan was sighing...... There are many meetings and things in Beifu, and even there are many taxes.
But the majority of civilians can't make a voice, and there is no need to make a voice, because the vast majority of taxes have nothing to do with them, and they are all aimed at Haoqiang.
Of course, there are a group of civilians who always feel that they are talented in genetic mutation, and when the time comes, they suddenly turn over and become strong, so it is understandable to shout that taxes are heavy, and there is no need to be surprised.
