Historically, during the Song Dynasty, there were senior planners in the court who felt that collecting grain and cloth was very troublesome, so they exchanged it for money, which resulted in a shortage of copper and money.

The Song Dynasty was forced to formulate laws prohibiting copper and money.

Private individuals were not allowed to buy, sell or use bronze, and could only collect it from the court. Serious crimes were punishable by death.

However, the effect was still very poor. One of Wang Anshi's reforms was to abolish the money ban.

Money shortages often occurred during the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The Yuan Dynasty stipulated that gold, silver, copper and iron goods were not allowed to enter the sea.

Zhu Yuanzhang simply closed the country and waited until credit currency, that is, banknotes, circulated on a large scale, and then there was no money shortage.

But printing more of these banknotes will be even more terrifying and can overwhelm the economy.

"If taxing based on acres doesn't work, what about heads?" Lin Nanzheng asked, "No matter how many fields your family has, the court only collects taxes based on people."

"This is fair!" Jiang Shuisheng's eyes lit up and he said.

"I was cheated." Cao Huaimin glanced at the innocent man and snorted.

"What's wrong with this?" Jiang Shuisheng looked at him puzzled and asked.

"The people who made this policy are thieves, thieves." Cao Huaimin looked at them with his bright black eyes and said, "In the early years of every dynasty, most of the people died due to wars and plagues. There must be less people and more land.

.The imperial court collects taxes based on head, not acres. You have the motivation to open up wasteland. If you open up more acre of wasteland, it is yours."

"Ah! I understand, if the harvest is based on acres, who would be stupid enough to open up wasteland!" Jiang Shuisheng suddenly realized, "It's really a thief."

"In the middle of the dynasty, the people worked hard to open up almost all the land that could be reclaimed. When there are more people and less land, they should collect taxes based on the amount of land." Ye Yunyu looked at them with clear eyes.

"This is too treacherous!" Jiang Shuisheng couldn't help but clicked his tongue.

"Don't think it's treacherous. In fact, it's the same in every dynasty and generation." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with cold eyes and said.

The most famous whipping method of Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty was to return the tax to the land and collect it according to the acres.

In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty set up the system of dividing the land into acres. Those with more land would pay more, those with less land would pay less, and those with no land would not pay. This is the same principle.

Don't think it's new. This trick has been used before. It's not new, it just works.

Is Yongzheng that great? He ended the poll tax that had existed for thousands of years. However, his motivation was probably that the land annexation was serious, the tax per capita could no longer be raised, and the wasteland had been cleared, so we could collect more taxes based on the land.

"This land allocation, whether it is farming or granting land, the people will not live a better life because of it, and the court will not collect more taxes because of it. To put it bluntly, it still cannot prevent the final fate of land annexation."

Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his dark eyes and said.

"Then what do you choose to divide your fields?" Lin Nanzheng looked at her curiously and asked.

Hong Lianshuo's bright black eyes sparkled with a smile, like peaches and plums blooming, and he smiled slightly and said, "Choose the most suitable one."

This is simply a lie, Lin Nanzheng cursed in his heart, and said angrily, "Doesn't this mean you didn't say anything?"

"I said it! It depends on whose interests you protect." Hong Lianshuo said, looking at them with bright black eyes and raised eyebrows.

"You refused the support of the nobles from the very beginning." Han Qinhu looked at her with raised eyebrows and said, "You are thinking of making decisions for the people."

"I don't want to be controlled by others, become a puppet, and listen to their mercy. It would be better if I can show my intentions as early as possible." Hong Lianshuo looked at them arrogantly and said, "If people don't like me, I can find like-minded people, so as not to delay their promotion and wealth, and honor their ancestors.

But if you become a puppet, you may become a proxy for the new emperor and be sacrificed."

"This is a road that has never been traveled before. It is full of unknowns, and the road ahead is also full of thorns and bumps." Lin Nanzheng looked at her worriedly with his obsidian eyes.

"No! Some people have passed by, but they all failed." Hong Lianshuo said with his clear eyes reflecting their figures.

"Who?" Everyone looked at her curiously and asked.

"Wang Mang!" Hong Lianshuo glanced at their red lips and said softly.

"Isn't he a usurper, a treacherous traitor?" Chen Zhongyuan said without thinking.

"Listen to me, he introduced the land ownership by the court, which is the farming system. Private individuals are not allowed to buy and sell, and the land owned by each family is capped. If it exceeds, it will be confiscated and distributed to the landlord's neighbors or relatives. Those who do not have land

Farmers have the court to allocate land to farmers. The lower limit of land ownership is also stipulated. If the lower limit is not reached, the court will be responsible." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said, "Freeze the slave trade, slowly eliminate slavery, and achieve equality for everyone.

He paused and then said, "Everyone has to work. Second-rate people and those who do nothing will be punished, otherwise they will have to do hard labor under the supervision of the government."

"Ah!" Chen Zhongyuan's big copper bell-like eyes almost popped out of the window, "On this point, I think he is a good person! He is really on my side! A good person, a great person."

"Then why didn't it succeed?" Jiang Shuisheng asked curiously.

"In short, the power of the gentry was too strong, so he naturally failed." Hong Lianshuo said simply and easily, "I can only sigh, Wang is not the emperor, Mang is not the dragon, who made him meet Liu Xiu! I can only sigh about fate.

It’s unfair.”

"Tell us about it!" Chen Zhongyuan looked at her with green eyes and said.

"I'll tell you this later." Lin Nanzheng pointed to himself and said with a smile.

"So! These can be found in history, so there's no need to make such a fuss." Hong Lianshuo said as he looked at them with a tiny glimmer of light on his black face.

"Then why didn't it succeed?" Han Qinhu frowned and looked at her and said.

"Inappropriate! Just like fighting, we must pay attention to the right time, place, and people. This policy is the same. Only by following the trend can it be successful!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them lightly and said, "When it comes to fighting wits and courage with the nobles, there is a more famous person.

.”

"Who?" Jiang Shuisheng asked curiously.

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with dark eyes and said.

"Tell me about it!" Jiang Shuisheng and the others looked at Hong Lianshuo expectantly and said.

Ye Yunyu pursed her lips and snickered, looking at Hong Lianshuo with a smile in her almond-shaped eyes without blinking.

"Why are you laughing?" Hong Lianshuo looked at her with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"I think I know what you want to say?" Ye Yunyu stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Please! We still want to listen to you more. What you say is easy to understand."

"Then I will tell you. After listening to it, you will feel that nothing is new. We are just following the path of our ancestors." Hong Lianshuo said as his dark eyes swept across them.
