On the way back from the straight room, Gao Hanwen felt bad. If the Ming Dynasty does this, how can it not lead to death? You must know that in later generations there was an industrial economy, and the government was almost killed by the large-scale financial contracting. Now I am really broke.
However, we can almost understand Emperor Taizu’s intentions back then. It’s just that if all the money and food were handed over for redistribution, the losses in the process would be too great. And then there is no reason for the people everywhere to supervise the local officials.
Theoretically, through the large-scale financial contracting, local officials and the people have a direct conflict of interest. Only the local officials do not do well and charge more money. The common people knew that the imperial court confiscated money. As long as the imperial court did not collect too much money, the common people could trust the imperial court and enthusiastically kidnap corrupt officials and send them to the capital to be punished.
But the problem is, Grandpa Taizu, your people no longer have the courage they did back then. They also turned against the law. In fact, it had disappeared in the late Hongwu Dynasty, and it was basically just a deterrent. After all these years, this deterrence is probably worse than farts. Farts can also make people sick.
It is most frustrating to find the root cause but not the breakthrough.
As a result, Gao Hanwen walked into the lobby with a gloomy face visible to the naked eye.
One thing is that you need to negotiate with the local government, because reducing or reducing commercial taxes is not a matter for the city itself, but also involves the livelihood of the county governments below. Gao Hanwen also wanted to take the opportunity to find out the situation below. This reason is reasonable and reasonable, and today is finally dealt with.
Back in the study, Gao Hanwen took out the storybook he had left behind and the newly compiled record of cleaning up injustice. It was rare to get special teaching materials, so he directly let the two students watch and study. Of course, it also includes the templates for Jinshi imperial examination articles that were compiled for Song Yingchang.
Trying not to worry about anything, Gao Hanwen ordered his two new disciples to check the room and use the minister's money to print the book. The title is vocational training materials. Knowing that there are public funds, naturally you can’t pay for everything yourself. Otherwise, subordinates will definitely regard themselves as fools. No, I've probably taken him for a fool.
After sending the two disciples away, Gao Hanwen looked at Xu Youzhi, who was the only one left in the study.
"Youzhi, do you like to pick up a copy?" Embarrassed, I had to start with academic hobbies.
"I like the feeling here of Mr. Gao" Xu Youzhi became more and more bold. Realizing that it was too straightforward, I added, "In the past, bookshelves from scholarly families were mostly just for decoration, but the bookshelves here are full of real knowledge."
This 23-year-old lady, in this The times seem a bit old, but from Gao Hanwen's point of view, it is just right. No matter how young he is, it is easy to touch the restricted area of more than three years and up to the death penalty.
In fact, Gao Hanwen, who fell in love once in later generations, was quite speechless about the relationship between lovers who did not communicate and talked about it like a chicken and a duck. Fortunately, after half a year I couldn't bear to blow it anymore.
It was very difficult to meet someone with a decent background in the Ming Dynasty who was well-educated and capable of talking about philosophy and literature. What's more, the other party is considered to be old, but she still hates getting married. It's simply a pleasure.
"If you like it, you can come more later. I also like this feeling now." Gao Hanwen didn't pretend to be pretentious, he just replied like this, and at the end he muttered "Red sleeves add fragrance".
Straight male love is so short and quick.
After almost having a tacit understanding, Gao Hanwen complained to his prospective girlfriend about the business tax issue in the front office. The real key point is that agricultural taxes are central taxes, while commercial taxes are basically local taxes. If the tax is reduced or reduced, it will have a direct impact on the yamen. Although this impact is not big, I am afraid that it will become a routine in the future. Is the disaster year a disaster year for ordinary people or for officials? There is no conscious awareness of salary reduction in this team.
However, Xu Youzhi was very clear about his position. He immediately stated that he would go home to persuade Yuan Xu not to participate in the fuss about commercial tax reduction and exemption. By the way, he also advised Gao Hanwen to take a look around. It would be good to go to the county government below. It was also during this process that I discovered the knowledgeable Mr. Gao.
Such a virtuous wife with her elbows turned inward immediately dispelled all Gao Hanwen's doubts. For such a wife, even if she has some flaws, they are still beautiful.
Gao Hanwen, who had made up his mind at this time, decided to go to Chun'an County to have a look that day. Firstly, it was to look at the finances of the county government below, and secondly, it was time to invite the famous doctor Li Shizhen.
I am 31 after all, and I need to take good care of myself in the future.
When he arrived in Chun'an County, Gao Hanwen was not in a hurry to go to the county office. Instead, a group of people wandered on the street, and there was a post station to open the way anyway.
Like Hangzhou, there are many more people of all kinds on the streets. I found a random fellow countryman and wanted to ask him, but I found that it was a bit difficult to communicate. Fortunately, there was someone in white beside me, who acted as a translator.
This is when I realized that there are not many people there now. It was just after the completion of "converting rice to mulberry". Many farmers received grain and money, but had no land to cultivate, so they had no choice but to work in the cities. Of course, a considerable number of them went to the cities to gamble. Those gambling stalls specifically yelled at these farmers who had received money.
This plot is similar to that of rural demolition households in later generations. After making up some money, they immediately went to gamble.
After almost all the money was lost, the streets became a little chaotic. Fortunately, Haizhi County organized a group of young men to be sent to Fujian to suppress the Japanese, and peace finally came to an end.
Sending young gangsters to the military camp to train is also a way of passing on wisdom to future generations.
I went to the county government office and met Hai Rui, Hai Mu, and the famous doctor Li Shizhen. Li Shizhen was actually still doing boxing in the yard. It seemed that even if his skills were not as good as those of Yan Shuangying, he was on par with Li Yuanfang.
I couldn’t make fun of Li Shizhen, so I first learned about the specific situation from Hai Rui.
It turned out that Tan Lun came to help and asked some people to serve as auxiliary troops in the army. Fortunately, in the land-based suppression of Japanese pirates, the casualties of the army were actually not large. These young people were not afraid of tigers since they were born, and they were all willing to go there to improve their luck.
The topic soon returned to the main topic, which was commercial tax.
I found out after asking, the gang of young men in Hangzhou were polite to him, but from the outside, Gao Hanwen had already been labeled as a man who treated the gentry harshly and competed with the people for profit.
It’s just that Chun’an and Hai Rui pressured everyone and didn’t dare to speak so frankly. There has already been a lot of discussion in other places.
Hai Rui’s opinion is quite pertinent. With the suspension of commercial taxes, subordinate officials will have to earn money to handle services, but it will be difficult to do so. In fact, the gentry succeeded in converting rice into mulberry, and silk was comparable to that before grain. How could they lose face by pretending to be poor and asking for subsidies after making money?
According to Hai Rui’s statement, it should be a direct confrontation, announcing an increase in the income of the gentry, and there is no reasonable requirement for tax reduction or exemption. It would even be enough to have Hai Rui himself and Wang Yongjixian jointly sign a certificate from one place, so as to avoid embarrassment to the Gao Prefecture.
Gao Hanwen cannot yet say whether this method is good or bad. At present, Zheng Michang is completely letting the two guys go, probably because he doesn't want to quarrel with each other. In a straight-ball duel, it's easy to overturn if you don't know what to do.
