Unless he is forced into a corner, Gao Hanwen doesn't want to care about this matter.
After all, traditional time travelers have to solve the plots of villains one by one, win over a group of dead brothers, and determine the outcome with one word. Where can I waste my time on these women?
But although it is a small matter, it is most related to another thing: household registration.
Without the reform of household registration in the Ming Dynasty, it would be impossible to free women into textile factories. Because few women who can earn money are respectful to their parents-in-law and husband. Obedient women and money-making women are simply incompatible.
Especially as a Sichuanese of later generations, my experience is even more so. Of course, in later generations of Sichuan, even if women did not make money, as long as they could take care of housework, few would be respectful.
Household registration is not just household registration itself. Although unlike later generations, household registration was related to schooling, medical treatment, and elderly care, but in the Ming Dynasty, the biggest concern of household registration was the apportionment of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
In a word, once independent, they must independently bear the assessment of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, commonly known as the poll tax. Although later generations often talk about land taxes, in fact, exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes were the bulk of the real people of the Ming Dynasty.
Because land tax is collected based on the number of acres of land, while miscellaneous taxes are collected based on households. To be precise, they are levied based on the number of males registered in the household. If you have a household registration, you must report the number of males. Naturally, those who do not have land do not need to pay land tax. However, miscellaneous taxes are not exempt. The burden of local miscellaneous taxes far exceeded the court's land tax. Because the central court of the Ming Dynasty was basically full of free prostitutes, it received very little land tax, and the funds distributed to local governments were extremely meager. Local government agencies rely entirely on their own collection of miscellaneous taxes to survive.
Therefore, it was particularly popular in the Ming Dynasty for ordinary farmers, their wives, children, and children to donate their land to the homes of the gentry. Although the gentry are basically not exempt from land tax, they are exempt from miscellaneous taxes.
Of course, in reality, the gentry would be willing to pay a flat price for miscellaneous taxes, but this is nothing compared to the calculation based on household registration.
Therefore, if women want to be independent, they must be able to take on chores and earn money. Only in this way can the place benefit. Only when the executors benefit can the policy be truly implemented. Save the people first, save the officials. What He Shen said on TV back then was really a wise saying.
Hangzhou has recently introduced a commercial tax, which can basically replace the handyman’s exchange for silver. In fact, the number of handymen required is very small. It is estimated that two coins a year will be enough. In other places where there is no business tax, it is estimated to be more. But although there is no business tax, there is no need for additional public construction. There is only a limited amount, and it is estimated that it only costs one or two taels of silver.
In addition to household registration and miscellaneous taxes, there is another taboo that cannot be avoided, which is the marriage system.
This is probably more sensitive than household registration and miscellaneous taxes. After all, the Ming Dynasty is far away from the era of the Han and Tang Dynasties where divorce and remarriage were casual, and the husband could remarry after a few years away from home.
Once there are some men and women, they will be given household registration as long as they bear independent chores. What should we do if two independent men and women get married
Gao Yuewei looked at Gao Hanwen's family and pondered on the desk without disturbing him. Just do it yourselfGo out to appease the people inside and outside the Weaving Bureau.
Thankfully, Gao Yuewei was reasonable, otherwise Yang Jinshui would have been beaten out.
One more thing Gao Yuewei wants to do when he goes out is that since he has said that he will set up a female household, he has to ask these employees if they are willing, and if there are some expenses, how much everyone is willing to pay.
Although I don’t know what the prefecture planned, it must be troublesome to meditate for so long, and troublesome things must cost money. Even people with little experience in leaving the palace know this.
The task of counting this matter was handed over to the woman who just took the lead.
Gao Yuewei had some impressions of this woman, but could not remember her name. All I know is that people are talking about Shaobing Girl. It was introduced by a great craftsman. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
