"Why is your comprehension so poor?

The title of the world's first talented woman should not be sealed by yourself, I mean, you have to understand the deep meaning of this sentence, the deep meaning of Shengmi Endou Mi is that once you get used to doing something, others will take it for granted.

Today, because of disaster relief, you transferred 100,000 catties of grain from Shaofu to replace the household department to do this, believe it or not, in a few months, if there is a drought or flood in other places, the household department will still cry poverty with you, and will ask for grain transfer from Shaofu.

The reason why Gaozu wanted to merge the royal private property into the Shaofu and separate the private treasury from the national treasury.

It's about clarifying responsibilities and relationships.

Shaofu is the royal personal butler, Shaofu's things are royal things, and royal things can be donated in the form of donations, which can be donated in the name of the emperor or yourself.

However, it is by no means a substitute for household disaster relief.

The distinction between public and private is so destroyed by you.

Do you understand what I mean? ”

Qiao Mu was saying this very seriously at this time, because this matter was indeed very serious.

This matter is only the beginning at present, but some things just can't have a beginning, and once there is a beginning, there will be endless troubles in the future.

Disaster relief was originally the responsibility of the household department, and it was also a use of the state tax, and it was not said that there was no need for taxes to do this, but the emperor had to pay for it himself, since the emperor did not take a penny from the household department, the household department should not use the emperor's penny.

This is the most basic distinction between public and private.

Once destroyed, does it mean that the two can call each other, which is obviously not possible.

Once this kind of thing is set first, it will be even more difficult to determine the money of the household department, and there will inevitably be more and more problems in taxation, and some officials may also be greedy more and more.

If you lack money, you just want Shaofu.

This is to meet the kind emperor.

If you meet a mediocre or hedonistic person, it may also cause another situation, that is, the money of the Shaofu is used up, and the state tax is taken from the treasury for his own royal expenses.

Either way.

It's a terrible thing.

"No, Tobe won't be so ......"

Wen Renlian herself was a little hesitant.

"Didn't you say that civil officials are shameless?

Since the face is gone, what's so strange about doing such a thing, it's normal.

You have to stick to the bottom line.

If it can't be held, it will be like a flood breaking through a levee, and it will be out of control. ”

Qiao Mu has experienced a lot of worlds and has been the emperor of several worlds, so she is very clear about the virtues of many literati, and she is also very clear about the unspoken rules of many officialdoms.

"I see.

It seems that I am still far inferior to those old foxes, uh, old ancestors, I don't mean you are cunning, I mean them, you call it witty. ”

Wen Renlian thought for a while, and first sighed, but then found that what she said was ambiguous, and hurriedly explained it to Qiao Mu.

"It's okay, anyway, it's not a day or two since you've been like this, the mourning family has long been used to it, you are full of food and drink now, and the matter has been said, you can go back!"

The mourning family still wants to listen to a play at night.

I won't keep you. ”

Qiao Mu looked at the sky and found that it was about six o'clock and nearly seven o'clock, so he yawned at first, and then began to send off the guests bluntly.

"Eh, Ancestor, I still have something to do.

I would also like to ask about land annexation and state taxation, and I have been reading history books lately, and I have also looked at land records and tax records reported in various places, and I found a very strange problem.

Since the founding of the country, the population of the country has been rising year by year, but the land has only risen for a period of time in the early days of the country, and then it has become less and less, and the same is true of taxes.

About 20 years after the founding of the country, the country's tax revenue rose to the highest record, and it was able to collect 80 million taels of silver in taxes a year, and after the death of Emperor Taizu, the tax revenue became less and less.

By this year, the summer and autumn taxes add up to less than 30 million taels of silver, which is too big, and the land is nearly half less than the land in its heyday, and even the population changes are very strange, in the early days of the founding of the country, the country's population will double almost every ten years, but in the last hundred years, the population has not only risen, but has fallen.

It's all abnormal! ”

In many cases, there is no gap between the data of one or two years, but if you take out the data of one or two hundred years, you can compare.

You can see the obvious gap.

Wen Renlian had never been in charge of government before, so she couldn't help but want to work harder, do more, and learn more, so she called up all the data of the country in the past few hundred years to check it.

All the data shows that some people are hollowing out the country's economy, and some people are hurting the public and private interests.

"So what do you want to ask?

Want to ask the cause or want to ask the solution? ”

Qiao Mu asked helplessly with a yawn.

"I want to ask for a solution.

I didn't know who to ask about it, I felt that everyone was a stakeholder, and even I found out that even my father, my brother and my sister-in-law had concealed the number of acres of land and the population to a certain extent. ”

Wen Renlian said with a little frustration.

Although there are some things that individuals know are right and wrong, when it comes to their own interests, it is inevitable that the ass will still sit crookedly.

That's obviously the case with things like paying taxes.

"There is a solution, but do you dare?

This is not something you can handle right now.

If you don't have enough officers at your disposal, enough soldiers to call on the whole country at any time, no officials who can accurately convey all your orders, then you don't want to accomplish this, for this kind of thing cannot be solved by saying two sentences and issuing one or two orders.

This is destined to require bloodshed.

It's useless for the mourning family to tell you now, you can't do it, it's better to do what you can do now, become the emperor first, and then talk about it after you have mastered the military power. ”

This kind of thing has been solved many times before by Qiao Mu, and there are only two ways to solve it, one is slightly softer, and the other is slightly tougher.

The softer is to develop the economy as much as possible, to let the vast majority of the people get rid of the land as much as possible, and to carry out a stepwise taxation for those who have more land, the more land there is, the greater the amount of taxation, and for the ordinary people who have no land and less land, they will be exempted from taxes, so that the problem will be naturally solved.

Even if it's soft, of course.

The process is also indispensable for repression by force.

As for toughness, there are many ways to do it too.

The best way is to find the fault of the big landlords, then raid their homes, take their land, and then nationalize all the land, turn it into public land, and rent it to ordinary people at a relatively low price to cultivate food.

As for not finding the fault?

In this world, the land of the vast majority of big landlords is not bought by frugality, and in these years, they will never be able to occupy so much land by their own frugal efforts.

Ordinary middle peasants who have so many hundred acres of land at home may really have saved money by several generations of thrift, but if they have thousands, tens of thousands of acres of land, or even dozens of hectares, and tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, they are said to have saved it by saving money and frugality.

Is it possible?

Do they eat gold and drink pearls?
