2. Playing the two taxes
As soon as the emperor's words fell, although Yang Yan did not say anything, he was almost crazy inside.
how so?
Obviously, the information I got was that Liu Yan would recommend Du Ya, but now he took the wrong approach and recommended Cui Ning, the old-fashioned mountaintop, as the censor.
No, don't worry, my killer move is still behind, so Yang Yan calmed down and said loudly, "I have something to report."
"I have something to report to you," Liu Yan also said.
Because the official position of Pushe is respected, the emperor asked Liu Yan to speak first.
Liu Yan said directly: "Now the country has stopped the war with the Western Fan. The urgent task is to cultivate land in the northwest, accumulate grain, recruit refugees, add troops, appease the Qiang in the inner world, and restore the deserted land. In this way, the western Fan can be used to fight against Guandong in the east. After I judged the Duzhi, I will run northwest, Jiannan, and Shannan West Road (this is the western part of the Tang Dynasty, and the original finance was the Han stewards of the Duzhi Han Dynasty). The salt profit was slightly obtained. The northwest salt profit could be divided into two large pools, thirteen small pools, and the two large pools were Anyi and Jiexian two pools, with an annual salt profit of 800,000 guan; the thirteen small pools, that is, scattered
The salt ponds in the border areas of Bu Yan, Ling, Hui and other states have an annual salt yield of 150,000 to 160,000 guan; there are also Xichuan, Dongchuan, Shannan West Road, and the so-called "Sanchuanjing Salt" that can make 400,000 guan a year - the salt salt in the northwest has always been left for consumption by Jingyuan, Shuofang, and Hedong Army, but it can not be transported. I am willing to use the two ponds and Sanchuan salt profits as a surplus, transport them to Beijing and enter Your Majesty's Daying Custody. Your Majesty can spend one-third of the annual farming area, especially in the Baili and Liangyuan of Jingzhou, and set up a "Yuanzhou Travel" to open a large-scale military camp."
Hearing that Liu Yan was willing to send all the salt and profit into his private treasure, Li Shi's nerves were tense immediately loosened again, "It seems that Liu Yan doesn't look like a member of the Han King Party. His remarks should be about me everywhere..."
So Li Shi asked Liu Yan: "In Pushe's opinion, who can go to Baili to farm?"
"Please use Duan Xiushi, the governor of Jingyuan, as the commander of the military camp. In addition, Gao Yue was once the official of Duan Xiushi, Kongmu, and served as the judge of the grain and materials of the Shence Camp. Now he can be appointed as the imperial rank of the imperial censor of the palace, and then enter the Jingyuan Guardian to take charge of the county magistrate Baili, and the Yuanzhou governor of the banzhou, as well as the commander of the horse envoy, the commander of the field camp, and the commander of the field camp, and grant the red silver fish, the military camp, the establishment of a court camp, and the Qiang family can be used to gain great benefits in two or three years."
"What!" Hearing this, Yang Yan could no longer hold back, and his beautiful bearded eyebrows couldn't help but open their halberds.
Liu Yan once again proposed to set up a "Yuanzhou Travel" in the southern part of Jingzhou. This was to disrupt his plan to "requir the Jingyuan Army to build a city directly in Panyuan and Pingliang", because: In theory, this Yuanzhou Travel was under the jurisdiction of the Jingyuan Jiedushi, and its role was to specialize in "farming" to assist the Jingyuan Army's "war". Liu Yan's plan was to first raise food supplies in Liangyuan and Bailitun, and then after the Anxi and Beiting camps had sufficient logistics, then marched westward to Panyuan, Danzheng Gorge, Pingliang, and finally recover Yuanzhou. This would take at least two or three years. The gap with my plan was too big. If I had it, I would have no one. If I had it, I would have no one.
In addition, Liu Yan actually requested Gao Yue to give him a series of powers and use him as the actual person in charge of Yuanzhou's journey, which was particularly unbearable for Yang Yan!
Taking the Baili County Magistrate actually controls the entire administrative power of "Yuanzhou";
The "small" of the envoy who was abolished the small envoy seemed to be insignificant, but in the Jingyuan area, the power to recruit the Dangxiang tribe and join the Western Fan area, all the power to open a dispute with Gao Yue;
The horse envoy is equivalent to giving the power to herder to recruit war horses to Gao Yue;
Finally, Gao Yue is only a mere seventh-rank palace censor, and is still in the "test" stage. He even asked the emperor to give him a breeze robes and a silverfish bag. Liu Yan's reason was also very sufficient. The purpose of giving breeze robes was to "strengthen the power of the mountain, to show the kindness of Your Majesty, and to shock the Qiang in the border areas."
No, if the emperor agrees, wouldn’t the achievements of Jingyuan’s management and border development be all over Gao Yue? And his recommender is Liu Yan, so there will be no one left for him.
What Yang Yan couldn't accept even more was, "Why did Liu Yan and Gao Yue have such a close relationship? He also recommended Gao Yue's father-in-law and asked Gao Yue to be the inspector of the camp in Yuanzhou. Damn it! What did Gao Yue think? Didn't he come to Baqiao Post to curry favor with me?"
At this time, Yang Yan, who had already prepared well, his thoughts became more and more chaotic. He did not expect that things were changing.
However, Emperor Li Shi was thinking seriously and seemed to be quite interested in Liu Yan's suggestions. Yang Yan was so angry that he no longer swears. Instead, he anxiously played out the key trump card in advance: "Your Majesty, please abolish the Abolition of Anyi, Jie County Second Chi, the Bianchi Lake of the Six Prefectures in the Northwest and Sanchuan Jing Salt, and abolish the Abolition of Duzhi and the Second Chi!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace was shocked and turned their eyes to Yang Yan.
Of course, the emperor had a tacit understanding with Yang Yan to some extent in advance, so he asked Yang Yan to express his thoughts in public.
Yang Yan calmed down and then spoke out the idea of financial innovation:
"In the past, my taxes were mainly divided into three categories: renting, household tax, and land tax.
Rent, each meal of the immediate household will receive two stones of grain;
In the land of sericulture, each household will receive two zhang of silk and three kilograms of hemp;
If the juvenile family members work for 20 days a year, and if they encounter a leap year, they will need to fold silk cloth to replace the service.
However, this rent and mediocre adjustment require the body tax as the basis, and the household tax and the local tax are also based on the official list of the Ministry of Revenue as the general information. As the saying goes, military defense and national economy are defensive and relied on the Ding.
However, during the Kaitian period, Emperor Xuanzong practiced morality and ruled the people under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue for many years. Dingkou died, the households fled, the land was transferred, the wealth and poverty were not known, and taxes were only based on the empty old books and empty texts. People in the world were suffering from it."
Yang Yan means that the early Tang Dynasty implemented the rent and mediocre adjustment was no longer appropriate. The reason is very simple. The basis of this tax is "Dingkou" (single) and "school households" (family composed of many dynasties). A large population means a wide tax base, and a wide tax base means a large tax. However, the biggest problem of the population is that they are all living and can move. Therefore, the Tang government has to control them in a million ways and ask these people to pay taxes in a timely and sufficient manner. What is the magic weapon? Divide the fields and Yongye fields. Distribute the fields controlled by the government to the people, ask them to cultivate in the fields, and then register them in the Ministry of Revenue. After paying the tax, the remaining ones will be eaten by themselves. The fields and dynasties correspond to each other.
