The account books of the three divisions were also brought over.

Some of them were burned, but most of them are still there.

Some of them were damaged, and later someone was sent to copy them again, but the number was slightly inaccurate.

In short, if it weren't for Zhang Dian this time, the matter would be big, and maybe the entire three treasurers' account books could be burned together.

But that's it, a few responsible officials are just demoted to other places, and they still continue to be high-ranking officials......

So it can't be said that it was useless in the Song Dynasty, for example, when Wang Ju did this, when he was replaced by Zhu Yuanzhang, not only would his head move, but even his family would be beheaded.

Then everyone looked through the commercial taxes of the armies of each state and found that the commercial taxes of the armies of each state had increased. In particular, in Quanzhou, compared with previous years, the commercial tax increased by more than 200,000 yuan last year. As for the extraction of the city's division, there is no need to look at it, it must be doubling the number.

Wang Ju said: "Just a seaport has produced such a great fortune. In fact, not only that, but behind this increase in commercial taxes is to feed more people and make more people rich. His Majesty, just like the minister in Gyeongju, once supported a felt merchant named Zuyang. He alone contributed nearly 20,000 yuan in commercial taxes directly and indirectly a year, and at the same time supported many weaver girls, which also made many families benefit from sheep herding. It was his own industry that made hundreds of families rich together, and he also increased his income. Therefore, it is right to say that Jiefu Gong once said that the people do not give more money and the country is self-sufficient. Just ......"

This statement can be established, but Wang Anshi did not do it.

Wang Ju said again: "But after Chu Jianzhong went to Gyeongju, he closed several temporary border markets. It can't be said that he did something wrong. It is true that the imperial court did not allow the establishment of mutual markets in Gyeongju. And because of the drought coming. The people were short of food, and even the sheep were killed to eat. Although there was fur on the Western Xia side, it was a private businessman after all, but in the hands of Zuyang, the price became extremely high. The government is apportioning felt blankets to him, and the price is very low. Zuyang had to produce some felt blankets at a loss and hand them over to the government, and there was no hope for the rest of the felt blankets that could be profitable. At the same time, because there is a little surplus in hand. The government also apportioned a large amount of money for exemption from military service. If it goes on for a long time, it will inevitably ruin the family. And because production has shrunk, many people are no longer able to benefit. It can't be said that Chu Jianzhong is a corrupt official, and the minister heard that this person's political performance has always been good. It's just that one is a benign teaching and the other is an inferior apportionment, and there is a contrast. Therefore, the people complained. The minister heard that the imperial court let Fan Gong replace Chu Jianzhong. Fan Gong lives a frugal life and has a clean and honest style, but whether he will have this business skill, the minister doubts. If not, Fan Gong would not want to win the love of the people in Gyeongju. ”

Put it this way. Several people understood.

Therefore, everywhere Wang Ju goes, the people love him.

However, the successor of the official is under his comparison. It's sad.

But Wang Ju also had a headache, and Zu Yang was forced to have no way out, so he wrote to him for help.

Not in his position, not in his business. How can Wang Ju manage Gyeongju affairs now? So he deliberately wrote a letter to Fan Chunren and explained the situation. However, will Fan Chunren give him face? is to give him face, is it to reduce Zuyang's exempt money and barter goods, or to reopen the border of the mutual market, so that Zuyang can develop again? Wang Ju didn't know.

This is not a long-term strategy, so the minister has been thinking about Quanzhou to see if he can establish a system. And this year, not only Quanzhou, but also a seaport pulled, and many places on Fujian Road have become rich. His Majesty might as well send an envoy down for a secret visit to see if what the minister said was a lie. Therefore, the significance of the minister in Quanzhou is much greater than the significance of the Zhending Mansion. Please allow your Majesty to continue to stay in Quanzhou for two to three years, which will be beneficial to the country and the people. Otherwise, Weichen can only resign and return to his hometown. ”

Anyway, I'm going to stay in Quanzhou.

"What ...... about that resignation" Zhao Ji was speechless, others resigned more or less and made a look, Wang Ju resigned very simply, directly took off the official uniform, handed over the official seal, and I was no longer an official. This is very bad, but what should I do, if it is an ordinary official, Zhao Ji will be kicked to death earlier, but can Wang Ju kick it? He asked, "I still don't understand what it means for the people to be self-sufficient without endowment?" ”

"The life of the people is nothing more than relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water, and the minister's idea is to take the lead in guiding the officials to amplify this effect and better eat the mountains and draft water. Just as farmers grow crops, slash-and-burn farming is a planting method, and intensive cultivation is also a planting method. The former has a very small harvest, the latter has a higher harvest. It's just a little bit of trouble. When the harvest is high, the state adds a little tax, which is actually equivalent to no increase. This is the people's own use without endowment. Just like what Chan did in Gyeongju and Quanzhou. ”

"But it's hard," Lu Huiqing said.

"Of course it's difficult, what's even more difficult is that many officials are ashamed of their words, so they hand it over to the officials to manage, can it be managed well? And there are many officials who don't understand, they themselves don't understand, how can they teach the people? In fact, the main reason is that there are fewer ministers who understand finance, and if there are more and more role models to see, maybe it will gradually improve. This road is too long, so I said something to Wang Yan at the beginning, one is to pass the test, which is a lot of controversy, and even we don't know what we need to do and how to do it. Often taking care of this will inevitably lose the other. The other is the Qi Shang tax. ”

"Qi Shang Tax?" Wu Chong was surprised.

"My servant once saw that the main households in some poor areas had no way out, so he asked the officials to divide their barren land into fields, and then they apportioned two more taxes, exacting miscellaneous taxes, and now more loans for young seedlings and exempt money. As a homemaker, the actual life is extremely difficult. But some powerful people with a way to do it have turned Ueda into Shimoda, evading taxes, and even turning themselves into fifth-class households, even exempting them from military service. So he said that the tax was equal. I will say that Jiefu Gong's Fangtian Average Tax Law is actually aimed at this kind of evil. How much can be done? Qi tax can only be a dream. It is better to pay taxes than to pay taxes. ”

Everyone was silent together.

It's this Qi business tax, and there are also a lot of troubles.

"Actually, I implemented some business tax policies in Gyeongju and Quanzhou, so the business tax surged, and I used part of the surge business tax to return it to the people. Take it from the people. Give it back to the people. Therefore, the governance is coarse. However, if it is placed in the Central Plains region. Once the Qishang tax policy is popularized, there will be a lot of controversy. But what if it's popular? Is it true that the country's annual commercial tax is only 800,000 yuan? As long as it is slightly popularized, it can be increased by 30 million in front. ”

"It can't be that much." Wu Chong said again.

"Wu Gong, I only want to say one thing, many businessmen wait in Jiangling to go to Shu, often invite them to sit on the boat and go to Bashu together, not only do they not charge their travel expenses. It will also give it a large visit fee of several thousand. Why? Because in this way, the merchant can be exempted from the inventory and taxation of various field affairs under the banner of scholars, and the income will be more profitable. Let me ask, how many powerful businessmen are levied by the imperial court every year? Then I'll say one more thing, why did I have to pull the Gao family when I set up a bamboo paper workshop. Without the protection of the Gao family, I was not a jinshi at that time, once this bamboo paper workshop is profitable, can it live? I took the initiative to make the deed shares inside taxable. If you don't pay taxes, who dare to levy taxes on bamboo and paper workshops? ”

Actually, it's normal.

It's like TG. Real estate is very profitable, but really successful real estate developers. How many have no background? And then zoom in to various private enterprises, and there are very few that can succeed without a background. Without a backstage, there is insufficient support from all sides, including loans, policy support, and taxation. In this case, it is very difficult to succeed.

But let's not talk about TG, the same is true for the US imperialists. Despite the introduction of inheritance tax, what antitrust bills and so on. However, why did a political donation come? After the government has donated money, the policy will protect them, and then all kinds of injustices will arise again.

Unless it is a small country, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to want absolute fairness.

However, Wang Ju came out, and he was still deafening.

Therefore, the national commercial tax has almost become an ornament, and the tax levied is only the tax of small and medium-sized businessmen, and the real tax can be levied, but it is rare to collect a penny of commercial tax. If nothing else, I'll just say that a few hundred steps to the east of the gold silk shop, a transaction is often hundreds of thousands of yuan, everyone, how much business tax have you collected? ”

"It's difficult...... Lu Hui sighed.

It's this reason, who dares to go to where to go?

"If there are 30 million yuan, why bother to implement the green seedling law, lenient the remaining money, and the market is easy to law. His Majesty, Weichen heard a saying circulating in the market. When Jiefu Gong said that he was changing the law, he mentioned one thing to His Majesty. Although the world is rich, but the country is poor and the people are poor, why, the annexation is strict, and the rich and poor are differentiated. If this goes on for a long time, it will inevitably produce Chen Sheng and Wu Guang and the like. Therefore, the first change is to strengthen the treasury, and the second is to crack down on the annexation of the powerful and powerful. However, as Wechen just said, under this tax system, in this environment, how many scholars and doctors did not participate in mergers or business? As a result, the opposition was loud. And because the officials below did not do well, often the rich did not apportion much, but even the poorest people were apportioned. Including exempt money, how many states and counties have fifth-class households that have not been apportioned? Why should they apportion! ”

I can't live anymore, and I still have to apportionment this exemption money, can the people not hate it?

"Looking at the market change law again, His Majesty can send someone to check, because of the city change law, how many small and medium-sized businessmen owe the debts of the city and the city, because they can't repay it, they are collected by the tooth officials every day. Therefore, Jiefu Gong said that dozens of large households in western Zhejiang have apportioned 600 yuan of exempt money, and it is okay to take more. His Majesty also said that this merger should be urged. Is there such a thing? ”

"Yes."

But in the end, His Majesty gradually reduced the service money, so Jiefu Gong said with regret, the world is like boiling soup, the next fire, and the next ladle of water, that is, why is the soup ripe? Maybe Jiefu Gong is right, it is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord. If it is intermittent, it will become a second drum decline, three drums will be exhausted, and finally it will be defeated. However, I don't agree with Jiefugong's change. It seems that the reform of the law is to strengthen the treasury, and the second is to crack down on annexation and prevent the spread of the gap between the rich and the poor, but because the officials protect each other, or the officials are bad, this kind of apportionment is given to the poor people, and their lives are already very difficult, and the apportionment is undoubtedly worse. In this way, why not equalize the commercial tax, with these 20 or 30 million commercial taxes, why should there be green seedling loans, market law and loose surplus money? ”

However, does the Qishang tax solve the problem?

Or not.

The policy bias alone will continue to widen the gap between the rich and the poor.

But this is always an unsolvable problem, so if you want to be truly average, you can only achieve it in the dream of utopia.

Another issue is the stability of the state.

I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world.

After a Romance of the Three Kingdoms, how many people are there in the whole of China? After a Sui and Tang Romance, how many people are there in the whole of China? Relatively speaking, Zhao Kuangyin did a little more benevolent, destroying a country for two years, and then slowly trying to do it, fighting and breathing, and the population continued to increase.

The most typical example in the previous life is Thailand, if it is cooked by the people and then messed up, in the end it is not even as good as the Philippine monkey.

Therefore, on the basis of changing the law, we should also take into account the stability of the country. Thinking about it from this, Zhao Ji did not do anything wrong. What if you keep adding fire and end up with a fire?

Wang Ju said again: "In fact, it is a metaphor for water control, and Weichen has long felt that Jiefu Gong is a strategy to block water, not a good policy. Therefore, knowing that the country is poor and weak, and the treasury is huge, so that when the Hebei disaster came, the treasury was empty, but the state could not allocate any disaster relief money and food, forcing the victims to return to their hometowns to solve it themselves, and the country remained unchanged, but Weichen has been silent, and even took the initiative to resign from the official position of the Ordinance Division. However, it is more difficult and difficult to have a water diversion strategy......"

This is the first time that Wang Ju has publicly shouted out his political ideas.

Otherwise, after a long time, he will disappear.

If you roar like this, and there are some people who pay attention, then there will be some people who support it.

And his statement is very tempting, the real country is not endowed and the country is used for its own use!

A strategy to guide the water, not a way to block it!

But now is not the time to take the position, so in the end it is very difficult to use one, and it is difficult to prevaricate.

In fact, he already has some ideas in his heart, at least it will be less than the contradictions caused by Wang Anshi's change, even if it is more, the effect will be stronger than Wang Anshi's change. And his voyage was to prepare for how to "self-sufficiency for the people without endowment" in the future.

can't say it, otherwise Zhao Ji will be suspicious.

And his suspicion finally made Wang Ju's selfishness more and more serious.

Also, what is Zhao Ji doing to collect money, to strengthen the treasury in case of accidents.

The second is to strengthen the army and strengthen the country, but a strong army must have at least famous generals and marshals, Wang Shao is so capable of fighting, you can bear to let Wang Anshi spoil it. Even if Wang Anshi completely goes home to retire, he will not recall it for reuse?

However, you can't say more, just do it in moderation, otherwise it will become a snake painting, at least it will make Lu Huiqing hate herself.

In the end, Wang Ju said: "As for the extortion of Liao, since the minister has returned to Beijing to report on his work, he will allow the minister to stay for a while longer, let the minister understand the detailed situation, and then negotiate with the Liao envoy." ”

It's about to be the New Year's Day, and the Liao State will send a messenger to congratulate the New Year's Day. I still have to count on 500,000 in the Song Dynasty.

Let me talk to them at that time. Aren't you here to blackmail, let me deal with them! (To be continued......)
