Chapter 82: Advice
Luan Xuan was still thinking about the tax revenue brought by the opening of Yongzhou, and suddenly heard Liu Han say that there is also a way to resettle the displaced people, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, he thought about this problem for a long time, but he didn't find a way, there are two ways to resettle the displaced people:
First, the method of sending the displaced people back to their hometowns and having them resettled by the local officials of their origins is also a regulation of the imperial court, but this requires the imperial court to provide resettlement funds, but the imperial court is financially tight and cannot come up with resettlement funds, and the local officials cannot afford to send the displaced people back to their hometowns.
Second, local resettlement, the imperial court is unable to send the displaced people back to their hometowns, and the magistrates are worried that the displaced people will gather in the place and endanger local security, so they can play the imperial court for local resettlement, but this is only the local government to pay for food, and the court does not give it, for the local officials, the risk is greater than the previous method, if the resettlement fails or causes ****, the local officials must bear full responsibility.
Now that the problem of the exiles in the Great Jin Dynasty is becoming more and more serious, people of insight in the imperial court have realized the seriousness of the problem. In addition to the serious security problems brought by the displaced people, there is also a more serious problem, that is, the income of the imperial court has been greatly reduced.
The income of the imperial court mainly comes from several aspects, first of all, the poll tax, this poll tax is not paid by everyone, the scholars do not pay, the scholars do not pay, only the commoners and the Shu people pay, and the slaves are also not paid, and the main component of the displaced people is the commoners, and the civilians are lost in large quantities, so the tax of the court in this area is greatly reduced.
The second source of tax is the land tax, which is actually an agricultural tax, but again, the scholars do not pay, and the only people left are the Shu and the commoners, and the commoners abandon the land and become refugees, and the court naturally cannot collect the tax.
The third is the commercial tax, salt and iron belong to the imperial court monopoly, the others are open, traditionally, the scholars do not do business, all merchants have to pay taxes, but now almost all the scholars are doing business, but the Great Jin does not encourage commerce, commerce is not developed, Liangzhou and Youzhou, because of the opening of the market, commerce is relatively developed, and other regions are much lower.
The revenue of the commercial tax was low, the land tax and the poll tax were greatly reduced, and the income of the imperial court was naturally greatly reduced.
"A lot of the world is an exchange of interests," Liu Han said, "and some of them used to be blacksmiths, some were carpenters, some were stonemasons, and some were farmers. ”
Liu Han took a sip of water and continued: "These people are actually what the scholars want to collect, but due to the imperial court system, they can't be collected, so we can make some fuss about this." ”
According to the regulations of the imperial court, the scholars cannot accept the homeless as cute households, and violators will be severely punished. The original intention of the imperial court to issue this decree was to prevent the loss of population, and at the same time to inhibit the annexation of land, so that the scholars would occupy a large amount of land but no one would cultivate it.
Liu Han's idea was to allow the scholars to recruit homeless people to become Meng households, but the Shi tribe had to pay money and food for each new recruit Meng household, and in addition to paying a sum of money when the new recruit Meng Hu was recruited, in the first three years, the land cultivated by the Meng Hu must also pay taxes, and after three years, it can be tax-exempt as usual.
In this way, some of the homeless people can be accepted as cute households by the gate lord clan, and they will be resettled, and the government treasury will also take the opportunity to receive a sum of money and use this money to resettle the remaining homeless people. ”
After Liu Han finished speaking, he let out a long breath, in fact, there is another trick, that is, to open a mine, the benefits of this mine are far more abundant than the land, and the gate lord clan has long coveted it, but the imperial court regulations that mining must be an official camp of the imperial court.
Liu Han spoke at length, but Luan Xuan was thrilled to hear it, the Shi clan wanted to recruit cute households from the homeless people, this is not a secret, even if the imperial court has regulations, the Shi clan secretly has a lot of small actions, just say that this Si family, last year secretly collected more than 100 cute households, but after all, small actions can't be on the table, with the Si family's land, even if it is ten times more, it can be tolerated, if you add mines, it will be even worse.
Luan Xuan shouted in his heart, this trip is too worthwhile, it turns out that he just wants to find a businessman, make money in business, and he can't get on the table, and now Liu Han has made three strategies, not only to solve the financial problem, but also to solve the problem of displaced people who have plagued Yongzhou for many years, Luan Xuan thought, if he takes care of the finances for the prince, I am afraid that the Yongzhou treasury has already been full, it will be so embarrassing.
"Three strategies to determine Yongzhou, three strategies to determine Yongzhou," Luan Xuan's eyes were full of relief and surprise: "Yongzhou has nothing to worry about from now on." ”
Liu Han's heart burst into coldness, this is the end of Yongzhou? This is just a flesh and sores, and the population is still lost to the hands of the scholars, what about three years later?
The real trouble of the Great Jin Dynasty is the Shi clan, the Shi clan has no tax, the result is that the taxes of the Great Jin Dynasty are all added to the common people and the common people, the common people have a deep foundation and can afford it, and the common people are different, a little accident, in the event of a famine, there are sick people, and even the tax is difficult, the common people have to sell their land, become tenants, or become homeless.
Liu Han naturally won't talk about this with Luan Xuan, what does this Great Jin World have to do with him, prosperity, decline, dilapidation, what is the ****.
"Sure enough, he is talented," Luan Xuan said with emotion: "Mr. Liu, I invite the king of Qin to serve the country and the people of the world." ”
Liu Hanxin said that your kid is not complete, it is not good to give you three ideas, and you have to inch in, thinking like this, there are two points on his face, Luan Xuan immediately noticed the change in his mood, so he further persuaded:
"Mr. Liu is indifferent to power, admirable, can be good for Mr., whether he is in business or learning, or has a good official body, Mr. can know, although it has been abolished, it may be launched again at any time. ”
Liu Han frowned, Luan Xuan said well, the ram was born in a merchant, and he could manage money for Emperor Wu, but he used the means of squeezing merchants. Specifically, the government calculates the merchant's wealth, and how much it exceeds the heavy tax, which has led to the destruction of countless merchants, since then, the merchants of the Great Jin Dynasty have embarked on the road of buying the identity of the Shu clan, and those who are more cautious have embarked on the road of collusion with the scholars.
And now, Liu Han is a pure merchant, even if he buys the identity of the Shu clan, but he has no other income, so he is considered a merchant, Luan Xuan is right, the imperial court's finances are so difficult, it is difficult to guarantee when the decree will be issued, and it will be a disaster for people like Liu Han.
Liu Han sighed: "Mr. Luan, it's not that I don't want to, but I do have something to do in the imperial capital, besides, sir, have you ever thought about it, if I enter the Qin King Shogunate, the King of Qin will be able to hand over the Yongzhou Mansion Treasury to me?
Luan Xuan also wanted to persuade, Liu Han's heart was crossed, and he decided to make it clear: "The prince is a virtuous name, but this virtuous name is given by the gate lord clan, and the gate lord clan has mastered the township and county evaluations. ”
Luan Xuan was silent, he didn't expect Liu Han's idea to be like this, according to this, the prince was actually subject to the clan of the gate lords, this kind of argument can be described as shocking, but after thinking about it, this seems to be reasonable.
Silence, silence means that Luan Xuan has not given up, which also makes Liu Han very helpless, he can't refuse strongly, let alone the prince, even if it is a county order, he has to coax.
Thinking of this, Liu Han had a new idea.
