The tax system in later generations implemented a tax-sharing system, which divided all tax types into three categories: central, local, or both, and some shared taxes.

But that is a modern society. And what kind of society is now? Naturally, we cannot move it all.

It is like stamp duty, property tax, personal income tax, etc. that are well-known to people in the future. It is still a bit too far to mention them now. These taxes must be opened as tax sources after the industry and commerce have developed to a certain stage.

At present, the most important year-round tax in the Song Dynasty is the field tax, the summer tax and the autumn tax. Of course, the capitation tax, wine tax, and tea tax cannot be underestimated. But the problem is that the summer harvest will be in a few days.

"What? The king wants to move the alcohol tax?" Zhao Bushi said in dismay.

After many days of disputes, there was still no discussion between the court and local officials.

The central government wants 60%, which has been weakened a lot compared to before. But people are all greedy. When the local government sees that Zhao Gou really wants to change his previous policies, he will naturally cheer up, and they also want 60%.

Zhao Gou felt that this matter was really unsure. No one knew whether the two sides were enough after the division was determined, and whether the number was set properly, but it was even more of a problem that the summer harvest was coming soon.

So he thought of a trick, and the alcohol tax. He wanted to continue to expand the cake for both sides.

Don’t laugh at the big “cake” with wine tax. This is definitely a fact.

In Zhao and Song dynasties, young people in later generations may have seen the customs duties of the Song Dynasty from history, so they disagreed with alcohol taxes.

That's a big joke.

The wine of the Song Dynasty has been a mainstay of Zhao Song's finances since the beginning of the founding of the Kingdom of Zhao Song, and has always occupied a relatively high proportion of fiscal revenue.

In the late Tianxi period (1021), it exceeded 10 million guan. This is all cash.

In ancient society, the annual alcohol tax was as high as tens of millions of yuan. Doesn’t it feel very mysterious? But this is the fact. Because the alcohol tax was high, the previous dynasties in China (there was no alcohol tax in the Sui Dynasty), the alcohol tax was floating around 50%.

The Song Dynasty even implemented a wine monopoly system and opened a large number of official brewing shops, one-stop service, and extremely profitable income was one of them.

Controlling the production of wine koji from the source, even if folk wine merchants make wine, they have to find the official to buy wine koji, and at the same time pay heavy taxes. Moreover, based on the number of wine koji purchased, it can be inferred that the output of wine is also "targeted". It is basically impossible for wine merchants to evade taxes, and tax evasion is the second.

Strictly divide the sales area of ​​wine, and wine can only be sold locally, and it is strictly for private out of the state government to achieve monopoly profits by monopolizing prices. It not only excludes private wine and disputes between official wine, but also excludes disputes between official wine and official wine, and reaches a monopoly in a sense. This creates a situation where "there is no branch, only this one", and "the official wine is not to be bought even if it is evil, and even the civil affairs are in trouble and good fortune." This is the third one.

With these three inhuman and unfree regulations bound by them, it is no wonder that Zhao Song was able to scrape so much oil from the wine in a year.

But what the local officials say is that they earn so much alcohol tax every year, but they never leave a penny for them. Because alcohol tax is all money, it is one of the important sources of direct military expenditure and supporting border military expenditure.

If Zhao Gou incorporates it into the tax division, it will definitely make the central and local governments feel relieved.

That was a tax of six or seven million yuan a year. Song Huizong made the world miserable, but drinking became a trend in Zhao and Song Dynasty, and he still earned six or seven million yuan a year.

With the innovation of the world, Zhao Gou's policies can be expected after they are promoted, and the alcohol tax will inevitably have further gains.

Zhao Bushi is now a Hanlin scholar. This official is quite a small official. He is responsible for drafting imperial edicts, pardons, national documents, and documents used by the court. He also served the emperor on patrols and served as an advisor. He was actually the emperor's secretariat and staff official.

Zhao Gou also planned to treat the Hanlin Academy as the secretariat and attendant room.

"I obey the order." He happily drafted an edict for Zong Ze. He was still in Hedong before, but now he was recruited by Zhao Gou into Bianliang City and became the chief minister of the cabinet.

Because he is not the emperor yet, Zhao Gou is not easy to use the prime minister openly or secretly. The names of Ping Zhang's political affairs also give him a chance to reform the official system.

However, this cabinet is different from the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty in history, because the memorial was sent to the emperor first, and then slowly sent to the cabinet. When they were delivered, the emperor would not have been allowed to send the memorial to the ministers of the cabinet first, so as to prevent the cabinet from threatening the imperial power.

Why was the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty able to undermine the emperor? That is because they not only participated in decision-making, but also actually controlled the information channels, so the risk of the emperor being manipulated was naturally greatly increased. After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the ticket was abolished and the system of criticizing the redemption. After decades of exploration, the title book was changed. The memorial was sent directly to the emperor. The emperor personally dismantled and approved it with a red pen, and then handed over to the person who came or sent it back to the original memorialist through the post station, asking him to follow it. There was no need to go through any organization or individual to transfer it. The power of the imperial rule was unprecedentedly concentrated and reached the peak of history. That was not unreasonable.

Zhao Gou is now learning from the Tartars. He requires that all state affairs should be delivered directly to him with memorials, and then the memorials should be slowly taken to the regular channels to carry on the Yintai Division.

Then, check the two sides once a month to see if there are any people who dare to conceal the memorials and block the message.

In this way, the emperor's information channel can be kept unobstructed to a certain extent. In a sense, this can maintain imperial power to a large extent and prevent powerful ministers from becoming overwhelmed.

Therefore, this cabinet is not another cabinet, it is even more a military bureau with the name of the cabinet.

Therefore, now Zong Ze received this handover, he was more correct when he was too imposing his head.

A wealth of millions of dollars a year is a huge amount of military expenditure. After being cut off with one size fits, it will definitely make Zong Ze and some of the military members feel heartbroken and have three more rounds of heading.

Can the boss’s hole be filled?

King Yan took over the Central Plains, Huainan and Qilu, and soon the six routes of Guanxi would be taken into account. No matter how you want to add 200,000 to 300,000 troops, right? This would add 500,000 people.

I don’t think about their military supplies and military supplies, nor do I think about their military merits, nor do I think about the distinction between the main force and the garrison. I just think about their salary. According to the current treatment of the Yan King Army, it would be about one million guan a month.

When the world is unified, the army under the King of Yan is not much smaller than one million, right? Or if more main horse troops replace the garrison infantry, the monthly military salary can reach 2 million guan, and 24 million guan a year.

Including the consumption of people eating horses and military supplies, as well as fighting against foreign countries, 35 million trump cards a year, no, 40 million trump cards will not be missing, right?

This money is naturally the only one for the young generation compared to the cost of raising soldiers in the Song Dynasty earlier. To a certain extent, the military merits have really reduced the financial pressure for the court. But what about the official consumption? If the reform is based on the King of Yan's plan, the two disadvantages of redundant officials and redundant expenses will be far more difficult than before.

I don’t know if the characters in the cabinet are trembling or not?

The cabinet created by the King of Yan was probably disturbed by these troubles and worries, so they couldn't sleep at night, and they felt like they were sitting on pins and needles during the day.

"Another, May is coming, and summer harvest is about to come. Gu cannot tolerate them to argue anymore. You go and tell them, Gu will give them five more days."

If the charter cannot be settled within five days, he will have to wait for the deadline and make the decision first.
