"The imperial court can first order each household to clear the number of their own fields, the minister inquired, most of the grain prices in the land of Beijing are three coins of silver and one stone, and the grain price in Suzhou is probably only lower, and the imperial court can use a hundred acres of land as a boundary, and the output under a hundred acres often close the position to buy grain for three dollars of silver, and the output above a hundred acres can be reduced to two dollars and five, and those who produce more than 500 acres can be reduced to two coins and two dollars, so that it can be guaranteed that the grain purchased by Changping is the grain in the hands of the people at the bottom, not the grain in the hands of the gentry!"

After listening to Han Yi's explanation, Wang Xijue was silent, carefully considering the feasibility of implementing this method.

After being in the center of the cabinet for so long, he himself could see the superiority of this method at a glance, if it could really be implemented, at least in the rich land of Susong, it could perfectly fill a loophole in the whip method.

Moreover, keeping the margin for purchasing grain at high prices below 100 acres of land can greatly alleviate the pressure of the silver taels that are often closed, and at the same time, it can also play a role in stabilizing grain prices, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

However, in this way, there are two difficulties, one is that in this way, it will inevitably offend the local gentry, and it is a dead offense, blocking people's money is like killing parents, in Suzhou Mansion is a place where the emperor is far away, and it is not unheard of for these gentry to unite against the imperial court.

This is not once or twice, said that this Suzhou Mansion has long had a criminal record, as early as the early years of Wanli, Suzhou Mansion gradually rose a luxurious atmosphere, because Suzhou and Hangzhou have beautiful scenery since ancient times, so every spring and autumn two seasons, countless people will go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to play, if it is just to play, forget it, but this group of people have silver two, the history books are contained, the city of scholars and women, out of the western suburbs, team by team to find Fang, reed rowing, singing full of roads, the sound of drums, you must draw the boat shoulder, delicious wine, singing and dancing, can be described as extravagant and decadent.

More importantly, there are countless people who value the business opportunities, have abandoned the fields, to do business and do small business, now the Suzhou prefect can not sit still, you know, agriculture is the foundation of the country, but also an important standard for the assessment of officials, if there is a problem in this regard, his life will be over.

What's more, this atmosphere was greatly contrary to the thrifty and simple atmosphere advocated by the imperial court, so the prefect of Suzhou at that time ordered that women should not be allowed to show their heads on the grounds that women were not allowed to enter the mountain.

Especially the prostitute women, they are strictly not allowed to leave the city within 100 miles to do business, and they can't ** and the troupe, these gentry and businessmen naturally feel bored, so they retreat one after another.

But what people didn't expect was that the people and gentry who reacted most fiercely to this matter were the local people and gentry in Suzhou, who felt that the Suzhou prefect was blocking their financial route, so they gathered to the yamen of the city to protest and put pressure on the Suzhou prefect through various ways.

The final result of the matter was that the prefect of Suzhou was transferred, and the decree he made was immediately annulled.

It seems that the local gentry and common people won the victory, but what they didn't know was that because of this incident, the impression of Suzhou Mansion in the minds of a court tycoon directly fell to a negative score, as evidenced by the increasingly heavy taxes every year.

And Han Yi's method, compared to the things of the year, is as good as that, Suzhou Mansion is economically prosperous, but it is still based on agricultural affairs, Han Yi is so crowded with those gentry and big families, it is easy to force them to take risks, of course, the assassination of the Qin Cha This kind of thing cannot be done, but it is not a joke to join forces to make a fuss again, but it is not a joke, the imperial court sent the Qin Cha over, it is necessary to do things properly.

If something bad happens, there is a civil uprising, no matter what the reason is, the imperial court will definitely hold the Qin Cha accountable, and even if there is an emperor to protect Han Yi, his future career will be extremely bumpy.

And the other thing is......

"As the same people of the Ming Dynasty, taxes should be treated equally, how can the tax system be determined because of the amount of land owned?"

Wang Xijue frowned and spoke.

However, Han Yi smiled slightly and said.

"Lord Yuanfu misunderstood, the matter of taxation is a major policy of the imperial court, and the lower officials dare not arbitrarily add more easily, but this regular closing is not to collect taxes, but to buy grain in silver, and then pay taxes on behalf of the people, it is to buy and sell grain, there is a high and low price, who wants to buy and who does not want to buy, is it possible that there are still people who dare to force it?"

This is the so-called nominal benefit, the reason why Han Yi wants to make such a big detour, first let Chang Ping buy grain from the people, and then deduct taxes, instead of directly letting the people pay taxes with grain, is to target these gentry and big households.

Chang Closing Positions is not a yamen, and the price of grain will naturally fluctuate with the market, and as for how this fluctuates, this is where he will work hard.

Wang Xijue's brows were twisted, but his expression gradually became solemn, obviously a little tempted, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

Zhu Changluo looked proud for a while, this method was accidentally heard by Han Yi two or three months ago when he and Han Yi were discussing political affairs, and it is said that he got inspiration from a friend's letter.

At that time, Zhu Changluo was keenly aware that this method seemed simple, but he had come into contact with the prototype of the hierarchical tax system in later generations, and those who were familiar with the tax system in later generations knew that the higher a person's income, the more taxes he needed to pay, and with the increase of his income, the proportion of taxes he paid to the total amount was also increasing.

He called Han Yi over today, but he didn't greet him in advance, and the reason why he had such confidence was that he knew that Han Yi had this strategy in his chest.

Zhu Changluo believes that Wang Xijue must be able to see the superiority of this method, so he ......

"Lord Han really deserves to be His Majesty's minister, he is so young and has such a strategy in his chest, the old man really didn't expect it!"

Sure enough, Wang Xijue was silent for a long time, and finally said with a complicated gaze.

Zhu Changluo suddenly felt happy in his chest, knowing that Wang Xijue recognized Han Yi, as long as the old man made a statement, the big stone in his heart was put down.

However, after Lao Shoufu praised two sentences, his face was a little entangled, and he seemed to have some uncertainties to say something, but he didn't wait for Wang Xijue to decide whether to say it or not.

Han Yi on the side spoke again.

"Your Majesty's grace, this method of the ministers will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the local gentry, so it is necessary to have the old ministers who are old and burden-bearing, experienced and proficient in local affairs to suppress the situation, and the courtiers in Beijing, including the ministers, are mostly not familiar with the prefecture and county, and are not familiar with local government affairs, so the ministers dare to ask Your Majesty to promote people from the local science and technology officials who have been in the place for a long time!"
