Chapter 1079 Tax Exemption

It is obvious that the state ownership of land that Zhang Nan told Comrade Lao Li is much more important than Zhang Nan's plan to use it to drive the economy of Chang'an City.

Zhang Nan's plan to help the people of Datang to build a chicken farm and spice farm can be regarded as temporary, but Comrade Li has left it behind.

After all, this thing did not help Comrade Lao Li to rule the Tang Dynasty, but the state ownership of land can. Therefore, Zhang Nan could only help Comrade Lao Li solve the problem of state ownership of land first.

Comrade Lao Li was still very interested in the issue of state ownership of land raised by Zhang Nan.

At least in the eyes of Comrade Lao Li, if this matter is handled properly, it will be able to prolong the national glory of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also the emperor who has set such a precedent.

Zhang Nan followed Comrade Lao Li to the imperial study, and after waiting for less than 20 minutes, the people who received the news sent by Comrade Lao Li also came to the imperial study one after another.

When everyone saw Zhang Nan in the imperial study, they could roughly guess why Comrade Lao Li called them over.

It must have been Zhang Nan who had mentioned something to Comrade Lao Li again, which is why Comrade Lao Li called everyone over in such a hurry.

"Your Majesty, isn't Qingquan proposing something constructive again?" Fang Xuanling saw that Comrade Lao Li didn't speak for a long time, and he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked.

"Oh? How did Xuan Ling find out? Could it be that Qingquan just took advantage of the toilet to give you a breath in advance? Comrade Lao Li also joked with a smile.

"That's not it, just on the way here, the minister met Zhijie, and Zhijie didn't know why the emperor summoned us so urgently, so the two of us made a bet." Fang Xuanling also explained with a smile.

"Oh? What was the bet? Comrade Lao Li also asked with a little curiosity.

"Just now Zhijie said on the road, the emperor, you summoned the ministers must be going to open the station, I said that Qingquan must have mentioned something, the emperor will summon us and others, just saw that Qingquan is also in the imperial study, and the minister thinks that the minister should have guessed correctly." Fang Xuanling also said with a smile.

"Haha, Zhijie, why do you think about war all day? Isn't this country safe and secure? Comrade Lao Li smiled and pointed at Cheng Biting Jin and said.

Hearing Comrade Lao Li say this, Cheng Yanjin also scratched his head with some embarrassment, and then said: "Hey, Your Majesty, you also know, isn't the minister transferred to the Air Force now?" If this battle is not fought, how can it reflect the value of our air force? ”

As soon as Cheng Yanjin said this, everyone laughed.

"Haha, you, you, don't worry, Datang's hegemony has not yet been completed, this battle, and what you have fought." Comrade Lao Li said.

After everyone calmed down, Comrade Lao Li spoke: "I urgently summoned you Aiqing here today to share with you a policy proposed by Qingquan to me, called "land state ownership". ”

As soon as Comrade Lao Li said this, everyone's faces showed curious looks.

"Come, Qingquan, tell you Aiqing what this land state ownership is, and you must explain it clearly and clearly." Comrade Lao Li said.

After hearing this, Zhang Nan also complained silently in his heart: "I'm afraid you yourself have heard a little understanding." ”

But Comrade Lao Li had a request, and Zhang Nan could only do it, and then Zhang Nan honestly explained to everyone what is called land state ownership.

After Zhang Nan finished explaining, Comrade Lao Li spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you think this matter is feasible?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, if this matter can really be implemented, it will be beneficial to my Tang Baili, but how to implement it realistically, this thing still needs to be considered." As a loyal fan of Comrade Lao Li, Changsun Wuji was naturally the first to stand up and say it.

Fang Xuanling also nodded after hearing this, and then said: "What Lord Eldest Sun said is good, but the minister still has objections to one point, that is, if the land tax of the people is really exempted, is it a bit rushed, after all, once this thing is exempted, it must not be able to be re-levied, otherwise it will be a major blow to the prestige of my court." ”

"Yes, the minister also thinks so, after all, the land tax is also an important source of revenue for our treasury, if it is exempted, will it also have a certain impact on our treasury?" The eldest grandson Wuji continued.

"Haha, this question is going to be asked to Cui Shao, Cui Shao, what do you think?" As Comrade Lao Li spoke, he turned his face to Cui Shao, who was standing aside and had not spoken.

"Judging from the current situation of the state treasury and tax revenue, it is completely possible to exempt land tax and agricultural tax." Cui Shao also gave his hand and said truthfully.

"I said, Master Cui, you are a scholar in the household department, don't talk nonsense for political achievements." Cheng bites the gold.

Hearing Cheng Yanjin say this, Cui Shao immediately rewarded Cheng Yanjin with a roll of his eyes, and then said: "Is the old man such a person?" You rough guy, what do you know? ”

"Your Majesty, do you know what the tax revenue of Datang is based on now?" Cui Shao asked.

"This ...... Naturally, it is a land tax, after all, this is a tax that people all over the world have to pay. Comrade Lao Li said.

Cui Shao also shook his head with a smile after hearing this: "Back to the emperor's words, it's not the case, now the commercial tax has completely exceeded the income of the land tax and the agricultural tax, since the beginning of the vigorous development of business in Datang, this commercial tax is getting higher and higher year by year, and this year, this commercial tax has almost accounted for about sixty percent of my Datang, and the remaining forty percent is shared by other taxes such as agricultural tax and land tax, so the emperor wants to cancel these two taxes, it is completely possible." “

"Oh? How powerful is the business tax? "Obviously, even Comrade Lao Li himself did not expect that this commercial tax could have such a high income.

"Not bad." Cui Shao smiled.

"Your Majesty, although the abolition of taxes is a good policy, but this nationalization of land is only afraid that it will cause a strong backlash from the nobles." After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Cui Shao.

In fact, the eldest grandson Wuji originally wanted to say that it would cause a strong backlash from the family, but because of Cui Shao's presence, this would definitely not be able to be said, so the eldest grandson Wuji said it differently.

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, if you really want to implement it like this, the minister will be the first to return the land you rewarded to the minister." Cheng Yanjin also stood up and said at this time.
