Chapter 308 Big Kaizi

"Master, what do you think about this? Isn't it a bit too heavy?" Zhao Bing figured out the regular taxes and various miscellaneous taxes and surcharges involved in this land tax. Judging from him, the average taxes added to each of them are no less than half of the land tax.?????????           w?w?

"Your Highness said exactly, but this dynasty's tax system is like this, and it adopts the method of measuring and investing, and there is no room for anything." Zhuang Shilin nodded, seeing that his highness did not understand, and explained, "The meaning is to determine the country's total tax amount based on the original fiscal expenditure of the country, and then allocate this total amount to various places, and collect it from the people according to the two taxes of household tax and local tax."

"Oh, it's just a matter of the rice! First, calculate the requirements of each prefecture and county in the prefecture, add the cost of raising soldiers, and then divide it by the number of land to calculate the amount that should be borne by each acre of land." After saying this, Zhao Bing understood that this is actually the modern national budget system. After the central government made the total budget, it was broken down into various places.

"Yes, yes, that's what it means, but it's not the same. The specific collection principle is: the household has no host and guest, and the residence is the book; the person has no subdistrict, and the wealth is the difference. Merchants also have to pay taxes in the prefectures and counties where the business is located, which is roughly the same as the tax burden of local residents, and not only the land tax." What Zhuang Shilin admires most is that he can often explain complicated matters clearly in a simple sentence, and he further explained.

"Since the two taxes have been supplemented for the national use, why are there so many miscellaneous items that only increase the burden on the people?" Zhao Bing studied engineering, and his historical knowledge comes more from his hobbies. What he learned in school is just used to deal with exams. For example, the two tax system, renting and whip are often known by rote memorization, but at the level I have heard of, I don't understand the meaning of it at all, and now I can only make up for it.

"Your Highness asked good questions. The equal-field system in the late Tang Dynasty tended to collapse. In order to increase taxes, the uninstitutional households were abolished. Not only did officials have to pay taxes, but both customers and merchants had to bear the two taxes, which expanded the tax scope and increased the national tax revenue. This is the fundamental reason. The other advantage is that the tax system was simplified, the renting and various miscellaneous taxes were merged, and the tax items were collected uniformly, the tax items were reduced, the payment time was concentrated, and the tax payment procedures were simple, but it did not reduce the tax amount. Some miscellaneous taxes and fees were gone at first, but as there were more places to use money, they were restored, and the amount was not offset from the two taxes." Zhuang Shilin replied.

"Well, it seems that no matter how good the policy is, it is still in accordance with the rules. What I am afraid of is changing the order every day!" Zhao Bing understood that in the early stage, he adopted the swearing of faith in order to implement the new law, but once it was implemented, it continued to increase. Without the continuity of the policy, the good policies gradually changed.

"Your Highness hit the point. When the two tax laws were promulgated, there was an important provision, that is, the tax on the land acres still included grain, and the part of the rented goods that should be included in the silk, silk, cotton and other physical items were changed to a discount. The land tax on the land that ordinary merchants owned by the land that was not within the number of cultivated fields was also paid in cash. In addition, after the original mediocre was incorporated into the two taxes, it was changed to tax instead of labor, and the people could serve on their behalf. However, when the tax was collected, the local government often paid the physical items. If prices fell, the people often needed to pay the full amount of the two taxes, which made the people more burdened." Zhuang Shilin praised.

"How much can the land acres be paid based on the transfer department's calculation of the main tax and miscellaneous taxes be added?" Zhao Bing thought about it and asked.

"When you go back to Your Highness, according to the average, it should be no less than 50%, and you can only barely make a living." Zhuang Shilin Mo said for a moment.

"If the two taxes are set at 30% and all other miscellaneous taxes are cancelled, do you think the people can bear it?" Zhao Bing nodded and asked.

"The people's lives will be much better. Although they are not rich, they can live and work in peace. They are a paradise in this chaotic world." Zhuang Shilin said.

"You calculate it again. According to this calculation, how much tax can you charge!" Zhao Bing ordered again.

"Now, with the newly reclaimed land, the whole mansion has a total of 1.6 million mu of land, of which 60% of the land is 60% and 40% of the land is sanitary. Even if thin fields are exempted, there are still 1.5 million mu of taxes to be levied." Zhuang Shilin was really good at thinking, and the data can be easily measured. "A medium-field can produce two to three stones per mu. If one to two stones are placed, the middle field can be estimated based on two stones, and three million stones of grain can be produced, but the fields still have mulberry, hemp and other miscellaneous grains, and this number is still different. The current price of grain in Qiongzhou is about 2 jin, and a 30% charge can be obtained."

"How much does the coach's mansion consume in a month?" Zhao Bing frowned and said. The data statistics are all moisture, and it is almost the same to get a 20% discount. However, even so, this amount of money is definitely not enough.

"Your Highness, our general's mansion has a total of 80,000 troops, and the subordinates of each department have about 10,000 people. If there is no war, 350,000 guan per month will be used, and 40,000 guan of grain rice will be enough. However, the favorable treatment of our general's mansion is also the best among all the troops." Zhuang Shilin said, "There are a total of one government, three armies and twelve counties in the local area to consume 20,000 guan per month, and 3,000 guan per month."

"How much commercial tax can be?" Zhao Bing asked again.

"The commercial tax and tariffs collected last year were less than 300,000 guan, and this year should improve, but it is difficult to exceed 500,000 guan." Zhuang Shilin replied.

"The gap is still very big!" Zhao Bing sucked his teeth and said. This algorithm is theoretical, with a deficit of up to 2 million yuan. If it catches up with war or famine, the deficit will be even greater. He secretly thought that this kind of military support is really not something that anyone can play with. These 100,000 people cannot afford to support them with the financial resources of a mansion. However, this is also related to the excessive proportion of military and civilians, and Qiongzhou is too poor.

"Yes, but Your Highness, don't worry. This is just the beginning. After a few years, everything will be self-sufficient. Otherwise, you should follow the execution of the Transportation Department for the time being to overcome the difficulties." Zhuang Shilin comforted his highness when he saw that his highness had a bad expression.

"No, this is tantamount to killing chickens to get eggs, which is very harmful to the people." Zhao Bing flatly refused. Chinese people often say: Big rivers are full of water and small rivers, but big rivers are full of water and small rivers, which seems to make sense, but in fact they are just lies. In the middle and lower sections of the Yangtze River, it seems that a big river is full of tributaries, but how is a river formed? The source of the Yangtze River, is it a big river irrigated with small rivers, or is it a small river converged with large rivers? This is very obvious. Only when the people are rich can the country be strong, and the country is poor by levying and levying, and the economic foundation is too weak and cannot withstand the wind and waves at all. Now is the foundation-building stage, and the foundation cannot be destroyed.

"Your Highness is such a benevolent monarch, and he is devoted to the people!" Zhuang Shilin couldn't help but praise.

"Haha, don't flatter me. To be honest, how long can our family last?" Zhao Bing asked with a smile.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have calculated that if we add the treasures of the inner palace, we can support us for three years even if we don't make a fortune!" Zhuang Shilin said softly.
