Hallym Temple.

Wen Daya convened a meeting of the academics in the college.

"Let's discuss Ma Shilang's proposal to spread the land together. Say whatever you want, and don't need to be informal. ”

Master Yan, a scholar from Hanlin, said, "I think this law is a chaotic law, it will harm the government and the people, and it is not feasible." ”

Yan Shigu is the eldest of the three heroes of the Yan family, and is as famous as the three Wen Daya brothers. He was born in the Gan family and is very knowledgeable. During the Sui Dynasty, he was a scholar in the imperial examination and served as a county lieutenant. Later, the Li family raised troops, and Yan Shigu was hired by the Li family like Wen Daya.

In fact, Yan Shigu is four brothers, the second brother Yan Xiangshi, the third brother Yan Qinli, and the three are called the three male colors. The eldest Yan Shigu served as a scholar in Zhongshu after Li Shimin's imperial pole, and now he has been promoted to a bachelor of Hanlin and is responsible for the internal system. The second brother and the third brother are respectively bachelors of Hongwen and Chongxian.

There is also an old Siyan Yude in his family, who was known as the young phoenix when he was young, and now he is also the prince of the prince, and he has set the history of the scriptures in the Si Jing.

It can be said that the four brothers of this color are very famous in the court.

Another scholar, Xue Shui, also said, "This method is absolutely not feasible. ”

Xue Shui's father was the son of Xue Daoheng, the first generation of Wenzong in the Sui Dynasty, who was deeply inherited from the family and had a high literary literacy.

As soon as Wen Yanxue's three most famous bachelors took a stand, the other bachelors, attendant bachelors, and attendant bachelors behind him basically had this attitude.

One of the characteristics of the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy is that they are all the best people in Chinese today, and they are basically from the Shi clan.

These nobles themselves are also local large landlords.

Ma Zhou's new law, at first glance, comes from Li Chao, which shows that it is another new law of robbing the rich and helping the poor, of course, it cannot be supported. In the DPRK, don't they even protect the interests of their own class?

One of the scholars said, "We should immediately report this matter to Your Majesty and make our attitude clear. We must not agree to the implementation of such an unruly law, and the rent adjustment cannot be abolished, nor can Juntian be stopped. ”

"Yes, if you want me to say, the two tax laws are not necessary, the original rent adjustment is already not low, and the two taxes are levied, which is a forced tax increase."

Wen Daya stroked her beard, I am afraid that this time it will not be so easy to stop.

He heard the news from His Royal Highness the Prince, and the Prince's attitude was to support this chaotic law. He didn't know what the emperor's attitude would be when he knew about the new law, but he had secretly calculated the accounts before.

If this new law is implemented, then the imperial court will actually be able to collect an extra 20 million yuan in taxes a year. Moreover, the people's taxes are actually greatly reduced, especially the name of never adding taxes, which can really bluff people.

But if you think about it, it's not that powerful to never add it.

After all, the total annual business taxes of the imperial court are nearly 50 million yuan, which is a figure that I couldn't think of before.

At present, the amount of 15 million taxes is fixed, and the amount of taxes will not be increased in the future, which means that the amount of tax allocated to the fields will always be this amount. If there is more land, the tax per mu will be less.

However, the imperial court originally levied less than 15 million dings in taxes, and fifteen million dings were correct, but about two-thirds of them were exempted from taxes, and the rest were exempted from taxes by officials, slaves, soldiers, and so on.

But now the imperial court wants to count 15 million dings into lessons and spread them into acres.

Even if the imperial court said that it would never increase the tax, in fact, the tax was much more than the original rent.

Add it up, 80 million taxes.

With an annual income of 80 million, Datang will not be short of money in the future.

And the 80 million years of revenue were obtained by Li Chao's various new policies and new tax laws. The emperor has accepted the two tax laws before, accepted the industrial and commercial tax law, received the permanent customs tariff, accepted the monopoly tax and many other taxes, and received a large amount of fiscal taxes every year, the emperor has been accustomed to Li Chao's new law can bring great benefits, so will the emperor deny the new law this time?

One scholar said, "We can contact other officials and write against it." ”

There was a lot of discussion and they all agreed that all the officials should be contacted and write together to oppose the disorderly government.

After all, the bureaucrats are also landlords, and even most of the bureaucrats are landlords, and the new tax law will greatly damage them.

Wen Daya sighed, shook her head, and said, "It's useless." Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also let the people of the world write about the new law, but as a result, did you see the new law stopped? No, not only that, but the new law has been implemented more widely. ”

"But if even we don't object, who else will stop Li Chao's chaos with us."

A bachelor-in-waiting scholar said with some pessimism, "Li Chao's ability to bewitch people is too strong, Your Majesty can always be bewitched by him." ”

"Then we have to fight and fight, otherwise we will just watch this stall into the acre, and the officials and gentry will pay the grain in one piece? In doing so, we are obviously robbing us of money and forcing us to pay taxes for those mud-legged people. ”

Yan Shigu also said, "Wen Xiang, if we don't come out ourselves, we can't do it, no matter what, we have to fight." ”

Wen Daya sighed, and finally decided to write a joint concert, collect the officials of the various yastries in the capital, and jointly write a letter against the new law, and planned to have the officials in Beijing and the students of Guozijian jointly write a joint letter.

They also planned to contact local officials, gentry, and nobles to join the opposing army.

"If there are enough people who oppose the new law, and if the opposition is firm enough, I believe that Your Majesty will definitely consider this new law carefully." Xue Shu said.

In the city of Hanjing, a wind suddenly blew.

Under the door of the book.

After listening to the report of the staff, Ma Zhou just nodded.

"Xiangye, Wen Yan, they are not good."

"How many people signed their joint concerts?"

"Quite a few." The aide replied, "There are a lot of people who oppose the new law this time, and many officials are opposing it. ”

Ma Zhou sneered, "It's all a group of guys with rat eyes, who only know how to stare at the little trivial profits in front of them." Can't they see that what Wen Yuan has painted for them is a more beautiful blueprint?"

"The imperial court's annual revenue from non-agricultural land and Dingkou has reached 50 million, far exceeding the traditional tax revenue. What does this mean? It means that the times have changed, and if Datang wants to develop, grow and become rich and strong in the future, it must adhere to the current path of developing industry and commerce. ”

However, in order to adhere to this path, it is necessary to let go of the shackles on the common people, and to get more people out of the land, to let them enter the towns, into the workshops, and become industrial workers.

Only in this way can industry and commerce develop.

Ma Zhou believes in the commodity economy and society depicted by Li Chao, and also believes that land annexation and intensive land cultivation can make grain production higher and more efficient.

Post-merger intensive production can also liberate more labor from the land.

Even if we do not mention the tremendous prospects of the development of the commodity economy for the landlords and the powerful, the new land production mode brought to the landlords after the abolition of rents and the abolition of land and the annexation will allow them to earn more, and the extra tax is nothing.

"Zhao Guogong is a real capable person, and his new policies can actually make the Tang Dynasty strong for 500 years without falling. It's a pity that there are too few people who can understand Zhao Guogong. His laws to strengthen the country and enrich the people are regarded by many people as chaotic laws. It's a pity. ”

Hallym Temple.

Wen Daya looked at the long folded book, which was already densely written with signatures and red handprints.

"How many?"

Yan Sigu said with a smile, "There are more than 1,000 signatures of officials, more than 3,000 signatures of officials, and more than 8,000 signatures of scholars, squires, and merchants. "In a short period of time, it is not easy to get so many people's signatures, which fully proves that Li Chao's new law is not feasible, which angers the interests of everyone.

It is said that it is better to commit the rules of heaven than to be angry.

Li Chao's new law has not yet been discussed in the imperial court, and it has been opposed by countless officials and gentlemen, so how can this be implemented.

"This time, we're definitely winning."

Wen Daya was also smiling, "More than 10,000 signatures, this is the will of the people, this is the hearts of the people." I believe that as long as Your Majesty sees this, he will understand how to choose. Doesn't Your Majesty often say that water can carry a boat or capsize a boat, Your Majesty attaches great importance to the people's hearts and public opinion. ”

"Yes, this time, Your Majesty will never be deceived by Li Chao again."

Xue Shui looked at the 10,000-person autograph book that was full of more than a dozen long books, and said excitedly, "Without further ado, we should immediately send someone to send this to Your Majesty to read." ”

Wen Daya nodded.

"Let this good news out, let the people of Hanjing know, and let more people join us."

・・・・・・・

The staff hurriedly ran into Ma Zhou's public house.

Ma Zhou looked up and saw that he was sweating profusely, and he was out of breath, so he hurriedly poured a cup of warm tea.

"Take a sip of tea, what's so in such a hurry."

The staff drank the tea in one go, and barely calmed down, "Xiangye, the big thing is not good, the Hanlin Academy has collected more than 10,000 signatures to oppose the new law of apportioning into acres." Among them, more than 1,000 officials signed, more than 3,000 officials signed, and more than 8,000 scholars, merchants, etc. also signed. ”

Ma Zhou frowned.

More than 1,000 Beijing officials have signed, and the number of officials in the Tang Dynasty is much more than that of the Wude Dynasty, but more than 1,000 Beijing officials have signed, which also means that most of the Beijing officials have signed against the apportionment of the mu and the gentry to pay the grain.

"It seems that I still underestimate the short-sightedness of these people."

"Xiangye, what now?"

It is said that the will of the people cannot be violated, and now so many officials and businessmen are fully opposed to this new law, but I am afraid that it will die before it can be taken out.

"At this point, we have no other way, now we can only depend on Your Majesty's attitude." Ma Zhou sighed and said, although the emperor still has the final decision, even Ma Zhou has no hope for this matter.
