After the potato feast, the court began a big move.

First, we rectified all pit mines. This rectification lasted until April next year. Almost 60% of the state-owned pit mines in the country were taken out and contracted for private operations. More than 90% of the pit mines with problems in operation were cleared out, and nearly 40,000 craftsmen and pavilions of various colors were released.

In addition, the imperial court also formulated mining regulations. If the officials who checked the mining output and the management department of each prefecture and county would extort the mine owners, the minor ones would be beaten, and the serious ones would be dispensed with.

However, if the mine owners fail to report the accounts, they will avoid the court's disclaimer and punish them for tax evasion.

What is the crime of tax evasion, which is the law of new commercial taxes.

This court really enforced the commercial tax. No matter who is doing business, he must pay commercial taxes according to the court system. Those who evade taxes of less than 50 guan, those who evade taxes of less than 100 guan, those who slapped or 100 guan, those who slapped or 500 guan, those who slapped or 500 guan, those who slapped or 100 guan, those who slapped or 100 guan, in addition to the above punishment, those who slapped or 500 guan will be punished by the slapped or 100 guan will be punished by the slapped or those who slapped or over 100 guan will die!

If a clerk shelters him because of his noble status, or embezzles and shelters the merchants and causes tax evasion, he will receive the same punishment as the merchants (that is, the punishment for whipping and cane and death penalty except for the fine of the items).

At the same time, other people or merchants are encouraged to report. Once verified, the government keeps the reporter confidential and takes half of the confiscated commercial goods and fines as a reward. This is used for national supervision.

But it is not finished yet. If any residence accepts commercial goods without red banknotes (tax receipts for the business of the venue), or the share of red banknotes is obviously insufficient, it is equivalent to a punishment for evading tax merchants, that is, in addition to the punishment, a fine of fines will be imposed.

If a relative of a foreigner and a literati and a literati have family members to go on business, he must write a certificate and stamp it with a seal. Each service shall keep the certificate of his seal. In addition, the purple banknotes and taxes shall be reduced by half.

For example, the manager of Wen Yanbo's family went to buy or sell a batch of goods. Wen Yanbo himself must write a certificate and stamp Wen Yanbo's seal before the tax can be reduced in half.

You're polite enough, but will Wen Yanbo have to write this proof then?

It’s so difficult, it’s so difficult that Lao Wen will definitely have a headache. In fact, this is a joke!

At the same time, the various market authorities only need to discuss half of the merchants' products. Why does this supplement have it? In fact, the incense system of the Song Dynasty was a domineering leak, the spices were specifically deliberate, the jade pearls were also specifically deliberate, and even the wall clocks were specifically deliberate. This led to conflicts with the other side.

However, this is the other side. In fact, it is impossible for various maritime merchants to hand over these spices and jades to the Maritime Bureau for special treatment. Often more than 80% of them flow into the public through smuggling channels.

Anyway, the commercial taxation in the Song Dynasty was a big black hole.

But facing this strictest commercial tax system in history, it is equivalent to cutting off smuggling channels from various sources in 6 places. Therefore, it is necessary to smooth out the sentiment of sea passengers, so this system has been established, half of which is the Maritime Warehouse Department, but in fact it is the internal warehouse specialization, and the other half is handed over to the sea merchants for sale themselves.

This system was printed tens of thousands of copies and spread out. It was posted on various venues, prefectures, counties and downtowns.

As for whether it can achieve real commercial taxation, or how many disputes it will arise, it is unknown now.

However, Wang Ju is now "crazy" and no one dares to protest. Then just execute it, or if you post it, whether it is executed has nothing to do with the official, it is the responsibility of the clerk.

Everyone has their own ideas.

However, Wang Ju's second edict was issued.

From then on, the court exempted all the money left over. At the same time, because houses and large livestock were not included in households, many households were reduced. The money for exemption was also reduced by 1.31 million guan. In fact, the money left over was also reduced by a lot, but all of them were exempted, so there was no need to say anything more.

Therefore, since then, the court has taken out three million jin of jin a year to fill in the reduced exemption money, and the rest is used to increase the salary of each clerk. In this way, each long-term jin can basically increase the income of four jin a year, and a short-term jin a day can increase twenty to thirty jin a day.

Although it cannot guarantee the family's food and clothing, it will definitely improve their original financially strapped life.

At the same time, one million yuan of remedies to poor prefectures or some special prefectures and counties were allocated.

For example, Shanzhou is originally a mountainous and plain area, and with the Sanmen canal transportation, it will make the people suffer, so the poorer it is. After the law of exemption from service was implemented, this situation has not improved.

Because of poverty, there is not much exemption from service, the amount of exemption from service is small, and the number of servants is huge, so the salary assigned to the servants is pitifully small. Zhang Fangping opposed the exemption from service law and used some situations in Xichuan as evidence. That is also a fact, but the main reason is that there is a lack of money, and the second is that these areas are extremely poor. The people have increased the pressure because of the exemption from service, but the servants get very small, and everyone continues to live in the sea of ​​suffering.

So this million yuan is used to improve these prefectures and counties.

This edict alarmed a big boss.

After retiring, Zhang Fangping, who was retired from his hometown Yingtianfu, saw it and immediately came to the capital.

After seeing Wang Ju, Zhang Fangping immediately asked: "Wang Zi'an, how much profit will the Banking Department make in the next year?"

"Why did Mr. Zhang say this?"

"Prince An, you have spent a lot of money."

At this time, there were only two ministers who truly understood the economy, one was Zhang Fangping and the other was Xue Xiang. However, Xue Xiang died, and Zhang Fangping became radical because of his rivalry with Wang Anshi. Wang Ju knew that he was in Yingtian Mansion and was very close to the capital, but he also held the attitude of respecting ghosts and gods and staying away from them.

But this approximate account is too simple for Zhang Fangping.

Just like the second edict, of course, he solved the pain of exemption from military service in Xichuan as he had mentioned before, but this was solved with money. The court took out four million new guan, which was equivalent to more than five million old guan. However, the court had already lost nearly five million guan every year. Once in and out, the court lost 10 million old guan.

Also, Qingmiao Loan is gone, and it is another loss of nearly four million yuan.

The house tax is gone. Although this is small, only a few hundred thousand coins, but it is actually not hundreds of thousands coins. If the court exempts it, the clerks will find ways to find a way to cause overdrafts on the government's accounts in other aspects. In addition, if the future official rental and ox rental income are not done well, these two items will cause a loss of three to four million coins.

The decline in households and other households will also have an impact on the two taxes. It will cause at least five million (two strata) losses.

Okay, just count it simply, it will be gone if it is more than 20 million.

Undoubtedly, the people will breathe a sigh of relief.

However, if the state needs to spend, it will be tighter. If the banking department’s income cannot keep up, then it has to seriously implement the equitable tax. If the equitable tax is really implemented seriously, wait and make a fuss.

"Mr. Zhang. Please use tea," Wang Ju handed the tea that Qiongniang brewed to Zhang Fangping.

Zhang Fangping took a sip of tea and said, "Zi'an, you can do it in the qian business tax, but don't be too serious."

Wang Ju tried his best to avoid Zhang Fangping, but Wang Ju also thought it was wrong, that is, Zhang Fangping and Sima Guangfubi and others did not have a good relationship, especially during the Qingli New Deal, Zhang Fangping was also a lone hero.

Therefore, this time Fu Bi's death had a big quarrel with Fu Bi's letter, and Zhang Fangping stayed in Yingtian Mansion without saying a word.

Wang Ju said: "Mr. Zhang. Do you think I have the ability to be too serious?"

"Please explain in detail."

"I will talk about the gentry some time ago. In my opinion, it would be better to kill half of them to punish the evil businessmen of usury in the world. However, in the end, if Liang Tao had not used the letter from Fu Gong to force me to the extreme, I even planned not to kill any of these people, even Huang Zhongcheng had an objection to me."

"Do you say that you will be shocked and try to be in a commercial tax as much as possible? However, it is not appropriate. It is just a shock. Still cannot be levied. If you are serious, Zhang Fangping did not continue to say it, Wang Ju understood.

If you want to rely on shock, it doesn’t work, but you will implement it seriously. Wait for trouble.

This also shows that Zhang Fangping came prepared, and maybe he had been thinking about it for a long time at home.

"Yes, so it seems difficult. Including Mr. Jiefu, he dares to implement Fang Tianjun Tax Law and does not dare to touch commercial taxes."

"Just you know."

“But it’s okay.”

"Oh. Let's hear it." Zhang Fangping was curious.

He didn't believe that Wang Ju could solve this problem.

"Zhang Gong, why do I write purple banknotes in the edict? I will identify the targets of merchants. Small and medium-sized merchants from all prefectures and counties are the main targets of commercial taxes now. The big merchants from all prefectures and counties are in their prefectures and counties. No one dares to collect these merchants in their prefectures and counties, but it is a bit hard to say when they go to foreign roads. The real powerful and wealthy relatives and literati are in the country, and no businessmen dares to collect taxes from them. Small and medium-sized merchants have no big problems, so don't be afraid of the big merchants and literati in various prefectures and counties. Why do they dare to evade taxes with high sound? The main reason is that there are more people evading taxes. Therefore, the most important one is the powerful and wealthy relatives and literati!"

"Prince An, this is also the most troublesome."

"Well, Mr. Zhang, let me say one thing. You were a Jinshi admitted to Jingyou in the first year. How did the prices compare to the current prices? How did the economic population of the Song Dynasty compare to the current? But why did commercial taxes stagnate? If they increase slightly, the small vendors immediately complained. The actual reason is simple, that is, more and more people are evading taxes. Although the number of commercial transactions is increasing, even tripled compared to the Jingyou period, but a slight increase in commercial tax can only increase to small and medium-sized vendors. Is this trend good?"

Zhang Fangping was speechless.

As long as Wang Ju doesn't make money randomly and can tell another truth, he will not blind his conscience and say it inappropriately.

"But this foreign relative (not necessarily Gao Cao's family, including the prince-in-law and the concubines in the palace, and some descendants of meritorious descendants) is the biggest trouble with the scholar-officials, so I instructed the Ziqian to reduce the tax by half. Compared with the scholar-officials, they do not care about reputation. Anyway, our dynasty has strict restrictions on foreign relatives and cannot be ranked as high-ranking officials. Moreover, if the same piece of porcelain is a commoner, the clerk can be priced at a consistent price, but it is the powerful and noble relatives, and they may only be priced at six or seven hundred cents. However, even half or only one-third of the tax, they may not want to pay it. However, this doesn't matter. If I secretly let someone make a secret message and ask other merchants to pay some money and put it in their names, what would that happen?"

Zhang Fangping's eyes lit up.

He knew the king's intentions. If someone paid money and entrusted it to their name, then they would be exempted from taxes, or they would only pay a small amount of taxes, and that would definitely not be too objectionable.

As for the court's commercial tax, there was no loss. If those who could get along with these noble masters, would they dare to collect taxes in the past?

As for whether these people have resentment in their hearts, they don’t have to care too much, and now they are given a way to light taxes. So as long as they pay, even if they are half or one-third, it is better than levying nothing before.

The difficult part of the foreign relatives and powerful people has passed.

"For example, the scholar-officials, on the surface, they are good reputations and do not touch the word "profit", and they will not leave this handle to the court. Therefore, they will inevitably oppose it, but in fact they are not. I also use a metaphor, such as the rich man, who has six brothers, three people living in the house, three sons of the rich man, three sons of the rich man, and three sons of the rich man, and most of them are officials with grace. Those who focus on training may not touch this smell. Those who are not focused on training, even if they stamp their seal on the proof, what's the harm?"

In fact, the rich family was the most prosperous when Fu Bi was alive, but when Fu Bi died, Fu Bi spent almost all the money in his family in order to build the luxurious manor, so the whole family began to decline. Even Fu Bi's wife Yan saw that there were urgent problems in the family and immediately helped him. Later, the new party took the throne, and the rich family went even further. Therefore, Fu Ding's son Fu Shaorong was familiar with the new law and implemented it. Fu Bi's grandson Fu Shaoting's second son Fu Zhirou clinged to the brothers of Xin Daozong to advance, and was ridiculed by others and people in the family as not like the father's style, climbed to advance, and plundered the envy. However, the most promising descendants of the rich family were these two. In fact, there was no way. If he did not "climb" the new party, he would lose his power under the suppression of the new party, and the rich family would be ruined. And the official voices of these two people were really good, especially Fu Zhirou, who even Qin Hui dared to contradict him.

Anyway, this principle, the black and white have been reversed over the past few decades.

But he didn't know Wang Ju anymore. He was not talking about the future of the rich family, he was just giving a hypothetical example.

But Zhang Fangping heard it and took a breath of air: "Two peaches kill three soldiers?"

The world of officials such as the rich Wang family in the Wen family is easy to solve, but there are many children anyway.

But what about the family of the literati who have few children?

At that time, it might turn into an internal quarrel, so Wang Ju would have to take the bench and watch the show.

"You can't say that. Can these people really be inseparable from this little commercial tax? However, as long as they pay and the country's finances are abundant, more funds can be allocated to help the poor people. Then the Song Dynasty will gradually prosper and become stronger."

Zhang Fangping was pondering.

"Mr. Zhang, and I have informed the officials that even the officials will instruct reliable people in the Imperial City Division to secretly spread this news (referring to asking other merchants to entrust the merchants to the powerful and powerful foreign relatives, or the officials' families send an agent to serve as victims to reduce taxes)."

"Official family?"

"What should I do? Who made the scholars and officials more and more hypocritical now? Now the emperor has made public appearances to let them use the rules to evade taxes reasonably. If they still object to this, would it really be the Song Dynasty owe them?"

It's not a conspiracy, it's an open conspiracy.

What is open conspiracy? It is a strategy that can be said publicly.

The more Zhang Fangping thought about it, the more strange his expression became.

"Mr. Zhang, I see if you are old and stronger. Are you interested in coming out again?" Wang Ju suddenly extended an olive branch. If Zhang Fangping was willing to come out and assist him in governing the country, with Zhang Fangping's reputation, the opposition would be reduced by half!

ps: If you stand in a dark perspective, these dozens of chapters should be written more successfully, at least with depth, but there is too little water. However, I did not plan to end the results in this way. But this book may end after the first month. Because of the poor grades, I wanted to end quickly. The middle was dry like salt, dry, astringent and bitter, but there were still some readers who were subscribing, thank you very much. (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
