Chapter 1868 is different
In fact, Han Yi does not pursue one step in everything. For a long time, he did not even dare to propose the "reform" statement. He was playing the edge, because he understood that once he proposed the reform, it would definitely be a protracted battle, and there would definitely be many conflicts in it, which would be unhurried.
While the household registration is issued, the printing is also started.
This is the most core content of the new policy and the most exciting part.
Those who receive a brand new household registration can take their own land deeds and go to the designated place to apply for printing.
In order to better implement stamp duty, the Ministry of Revenue will also provide special papers of land deeds and rewrite them all. This is also for standardization. The efficiency is definitely not as fast as in future generations, but when you are busy, you will be much easier in the future.
Compared to changing household registration, those big landlords don’t want to print, because once they are printed, they have to pay more than twice as much tax than before.
But they were also afraid that if this deadline passed and the court really took back all the land, it would be more than worth the cost. Therefore, they were still extremely reluctant to come and print it.
"Oh, this is not a printing, it is clearly a cutting of flesh. With an extra flower, the tax on these two stones will become twenty stones."
A big landlord was holding a brand new land deed and swaying in front of his eyes, feeling mixed feelings in his heart!
His tax revenue increased tenfold at once.
But this also proves that he owns two thousand acres of land, what does this mean?
According to the yield per mu, they had an income of more than 1,000 stones this year, but they only had to pay a tax of twenty stones. He felt mixed feelings. It can be seen that this landlord is no different from a capitalist. If you charge him an extra penny, it would be like a life-threatening one. Capitalists are despicable, but the landlords are not much better, they are all birds of a feather.
One person beside him said, "Brother, don't be wronged, look at how much tax the Yuan family pays."
"The Yuan family today is not the Yuan family before. The income from the Yuan family's business transactions is far from the income brought by the land. We can only rely on this land for a living."
"This is really unfair. The merchants pay so little tax, but we pay so much. Just talk about Shangshu Ling, I heard that he doesn't even have a piece of land, so don't he say he doesn't have to pay the tax?"
"You misunderstood the Shangshu Ling. The Shangshu Ling does not have a piece of land, but he has North Lane. According to stamp duty, the leases are all subject to taxes. I heard that he pays more taxes than us."
"But how rich he is, we are not half as rich as him. His wealth is bottomless."
If one side loses, the other side gains.
The landlords are mixed with flavors, while the farmers are happy because Chang'an is a narrow village, and ordinary people do not have much land, at least they have not met the regular standards of the court. The tax they pay is really reduced. They are very enthusiastic about printing. After printing, they calculate their own taxes, and they feel much more relaxed and full of hope for the future.
Merchants and farmers are more complicated than landlords and farmers. Their taxes are difficult to calculate, and they have not calculated yet. Is this stamp duty beneficial or harmful to them?
If you don’t talk about money, this stamp duty is of course beneficial to commercial development. You should know that this spirit of contract provides great impetus for commercial development, but it is invisible
The hottest topic in Chang'an is now - how much tax do you pay?
In the past, everyone paid the same taxes and didn’t need to ask, but now the taxes are different. The more important the topic, the more interesting the people are.
Landlords are okay, but the taxes of merchants are difficult to calculate. Merchants face many long-term contracts, and leases are the most common.
This gave birth to a new industry, that is, the birth of accounting firms
At the same time, the canal generation's prefectures and counties are also distributing brand new household registrations and starting to print them.
In order to synchronize, Han Yi had already sent new household registration, seals and pigments to various prefectures and counties in advance.
The prefectures and counties of the Canal generation are more enthusiastic than Chang'an, and Chang'an landlords are still somewhat reluctant, but no matter they are landlords or the people here, they can't wait to print them.
The result of printing was a legal enclosure movement.
Because before this, the landlords did not dare to act rashly, for fear that the court would come to liquidate with them. Many of the land they annexed in the crisis were divided into land, and were land belonging to the country and redistributed. In the law, they could not be considered to belong to them, but after printing, they became eternal land, which belonged to their own, and there was nothing to worry about.
Therefore, the Jianghuai and Jiangnan generations of landlords have begun to enclose land on a large scale and build large farms. Before printing, they have reached an agreement to exchange land with each other. When they annexed the land, it is intertwined, which is not conducive to management. Now the land they own is a whole piece, a whole piece.
Not only that, they are still paying high prices to buy people's land, and at the same time applying for a lot of wasteland. The court still encourages reclaiming. If you apply for wasteland, you have to pay taxes. Why don't the court do it?
However, if there are too many acres of wasteland applied for, the review will be very slow. These big landlords apply for wasteland and purchase land at high prices mainly to connect all their land together, and there are not many, so the review will be very fast.
And they began to drive away their own tenant farmers.
Tenant farmers are already the least cost-effective and unstable cooperation model, because the law clearly stipulates that taxes must be borne by the owner of the land deed. You can stipulate that the tenant farmers bear taxes in the contract, but the problem is that if there is any accident or the tenant farmers run away, the landlords have to bear it and it is impossible to push them to others. Therefore, the employment system is the king. They are driving the tenant farmers, but at the same time, they also hire experienced farmers to help them manage the manor.
There is a limit on the number of people. Many tenants are unemployed, and those rich businessmen are watching, so they are recruiting them quickly. For those tenants, workers now pay very little taxes and are guaranteed by the labor bill. Another group of tenants is pouring into the city to work. The size of the city is really the same every day.
The most successful ones were Muzhou and Yangzhou. Muzhou wanted to demolish the city wall. Because of the concentration of workshops, the suburbs had become the center, but whoever dared to demolish the city wall could only find a way to open a few more city gates.
Moreover, Yangzhou has completely lifted the curfew because Yangzhou's entertainment and service industries are very developed, which is what smugglers have started. This industry's pursuit of night is too high, so Yangzhou merchants requested Yang Zhanfei to cancel the curfew and were willing to pay an extra security fee. In fact, Yang Zhanfei was also willing to open it, because if the night was opened, many stamp duty would be generated. But the problem is that the court did not say that the curfew would be lifted. Yang Zhanfei first lifted the ban once every five days, then three days, two days, one day, and then, then, then, it would be accused.
This is also what Yang Zhanfei asked for advice from Han Yi. He pretended to be stupid. I don’t care, I don’t care. You guys do it yourself. The same is true for smuggling at the beginning. He also didn’t know anything. Everyone develops freely.
Bozhou!
But I saw an old man dressed in a simple dress and a man in his thirties dressed in a housekeeper walking on the street, and their slow pace seemed a little out of place, because the people passing by were all walking in a hurry and looked excited.
"It's different, it's really different!"
The old man kept shaking his head.
"Master, what's the difference?" the housekeeper said curiously.
The old man said, "Don't you see it yourself? In the past, the people's faces were full of dull expressions, but now the people here are excited, but they have just come out of the crisis and are poor and innocent!"
"I heard what you said, that's true! Why is this?"
The old man frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Although they are poor now, the new policy has brought them endless imagination. In the past, we always thought that the people of the world could live and work in peace and contentment, and that was a prosperous era in the past. But there was only so much land, and even if it was passed down from generation to generation, it would also make people lose and become numb. Even without annexation, it would be difficult for the people to move forward. However, business has brought them unprecedented hope. As long as we work hard, we may have endless wealth. Now, we are all selfish, and we all want to be prime ministers, famous in history and be remembered forever. So why should we ask the people to pursue only food and clothing? Maybe he is right."
This old man is Xu Shi, who had just arrived in Bozhou as the governor.
Shangshu Province.
"From the current implementation of the new policy, Chang'an should complete all household registration distribution and printing at the beginning of next year. Although it is very smooth, because the staff is not as good as Chang'an, it may be half a year later, but this is much faster than we expected."
Liu Xiangdao said with joy.
This was much smoother than expected, and they also breathed a sigh of relief!
Di Renjie said: "But I found that after the new policy was promulgated, the government has dealt with the people more and more, and this situation is likely to become the norm. Now a new law firm has been opened in Beixiang and an accounting firm in Xishi. They are all aimed at the people on the one hand and the government on the other hand, but in the past there was no such business. So I think the court should also respond and set up some new government offices so that the people don't know where to ask when they get it."
Han Yi asked, "What advice do you have?"
Di Renjie said: "Our dynasty implements three provinces and six ministries, but six ministries are all within the imperial city, which is difficult for the people to get in touch. I think the six ministries should set up branches outside the imperial city so that the people can get in touch. If all of them are resolved through the county government, I think it is impossible for the county government to take care of so many things. For example, Dali Temple, a law firm that has been closed during the construction period, that is, they all see that there will definitely be a lot of disputes in the future. Before that, everyone was arable land at home and had little contact with each other. Now the people are moving and communication has increased a lot, which will inevitably lead to many disputes. Today's Dali Temple may be difficult to meet the needs of the people. I think Dali Temple should be expanded."
It is worthy of being Di Renjie, but he is really a ruthless person. He expanded the power of Dali Temple in just a few words.
Han Yi nodded slightly and asked again: "What do you think?"
Changsun Yan said: "I agree with Di Shaoqing's suggestion that the court should pay close attention to the changes in the country and make adjustments at any time. Only by communicating with the people in a timely manner can we make adjustments as soon as possible. In the past, the way officials handle affairs could no longer adapt to the current changes. We should make preparations as soon as possible."
Zhang Wenguan said: "But at present everyone is busy implementing administration. You are so busy that you can't get through it."
Di Renjie said: "I think we can take this opportunity to make some changes. After all, we have set up many service points now."
Zhang Wenguan said: "Those offices are all private houses, which are temporary. If you do this, you must first build an official office, but it all requires money. Where can the treasury allocate money now?"
Zheng Shanxing said: "I think that when dealing with the people, this private house is the most suitable. If it is built in a magnificent manner, I am afraid that the people will be discouraged, and this will affect the residents in the city. Di Shaoqing's suggestion is just to help the people and communicate with the people. As long as it is applicable and comfortable, I never think that the magnificent construction of this government office will help officials handle government affairs, but will prompt officials to seek pleasure and not do their jobs."
What kind of personality says, he is so pitifully small in the office of the beauty of freedom. He just thinks that everything is applicable. If too much is a waste, he firmly opposes the construction of any palace or official office.
Zhang Wenguan was so angry that he wanted to cry. He was an old minister. In the past, the court focused on seniority, but Zheng Shanxing and others were too fierce and did not give face at all. They spoke very directly, but there was no way. The Shangshu Ling, who was sitting at the top, was the youngest here. Zhang Wenguan felt very aggrieved.
They can ignore it, but Han Yi cannot ignore it and said, "Don't argue for it now. Listen to me, in fact, what you said makes sense. Shangshu Zhang didn't mean to waste it. It is difficult to operate the construction of private houses into government offices. For example, an official office like Dali Temple is definitely not OK to set up a stall on the street, but it doesn't require the court to pay. Then the houses of Li Yi Mansion and Xu Jingzong are empty there? Their houses are very large, just use them directly. Anyway, it's a waste to put them there."
This sentence tells everyone why he can sit there.
Liu Xiangdao smiled and said, "What Shangshu Ling said is reasonable!"
Di Renjie said: "In other words, Shangshu Ling agrees?"
Han Yi said: "I personally have no objection, but I have to report this to Your Majesty. You can just report it yourself. I will not report it, because writing a memorial is a very painful thing for me."
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
