In Chentang, Yuzhou, in just three days, the implementation of the new policy was in full swing.

For the local people, it is really like wealth falling from heaven.

Everyone's faces were filled with bright smiles.

In the streets and alleys, firecrackers are ringing out, and it is even more lively than the New Year.

Countless people knelt on the ground and thanked excitedly.

"Long live the emperor! I didn't expect that I, Liu Laosan, still have my own fields in this life, thank God." "

"You should thank the emperor"

"Yes, yes, I should thank the emperor, it's me Liu Laosan who has no brains"

"After working as a long-term worker all my life, I am so happy to finally have my own field. "

"Yes, planting your own field, no matter how hard and tired it is, it feels worth it. "

"I want to sleep in the fields all night, and I don't want to go home at all. "

"This is all thanks to the emperor, without the emperor, we have all contributed to people in our lives. "

"Long live the emperor, he really loves the people like a son. "

"It's all those monks who have usurped our land, and now it's okay, the monks have been removed, and we also have land. "

"I heard that the stinky old Jiu's family has divided 25 acres of land, 15 acres of paddy fields, and 10 acres of dry fields. "

"Nonsense, there are eight people in a family, and of course one person has three acres. "

"I regret it, I should have had two more in the first place. "

"The most regrettable should be Lao Litou, his two daughters were strangled to death by his wife.

Now, the girls can also get the land, and they don't have to worry about paying the poll tax anymore.

If those two girls had stayed until now, they would have been ten years old, right?"

"Alas, yes, it's all evil."

"Whoever wants to be ruthless, they are all born by themselves, if there is hope of living, who is willing to strangle their daughter.

The poll tax doesn't care about adults and children, the same collection is really too much, and there is no land of their own, and the whole family will starve to death when they are born. "

"Hey, yes, when I think of my previous life, I feel like I'm dead, living a muddy life, and there is no hope for life.

Now, I feel full of strength, and I have endless energy every day. "

"That's because we caught up with the good time and met such a benevolent emperor"

"Yes, without the emperor, everyone lives like a dog"

"I've heard that only 30 percent of the tax is paid every year, and all other taxes are not paid.

Whoever collects taxes can sue the government directly. "

"In this way, the remaining food can buy two clothes for the family, the emperor is so good, he really loves the people like sons to us. "

"Long live the emperor, long live!"

This scene not only happened in the streets and alleys of Chentang in Yuzhou, but also happened in all parts of the Great Zhou, and they were all grateful for the new emperor's policy.

Even Jinzhou and Jinzhou are the same, every household is like the New Year.

Of course, there are also hateful gnashing teeth, that is, those landlords and gentry, as well as those local famous families.

It can be said that this time they have directly cut off their foundations.

They are also the ones who have lost their interests, and of course they are very angry.

However, their voices have been drowned out in this great joy.

Yuzhou, Chentang prefect.

Zhang Liang reported to Shen Hao the results of the implementation of the new policy in the past three days.

"With a large army to guard, basically all resistance has been swept out"

Shen Hao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, another point, when I took the opportunity to divide the land, I just registered all the population."

Starting next year, everyone must have a personal identity certificate, and in the future, whether it is doing business or taking the imperial examination, they must rely on their own ID card.

It is impossible for them to fabricate their identities out of thin air, and they are not allowed to handle them without identity cards. "

Zhang Liang said: "Yes, Your Majesty." "

Lu Xiaofeng, Shi Zhixuan, Li Xunhuan and others on the side all nodded, and they all felt that the idea of this ID card was too second.

It's a genius idea, so that the registration will help to manage the population and better understand the local situation.

This is the best way to manage the country.

Mastering the big data of population and taxation is to grasp the country, otherwise at most it is a mountain king, and there is no clue at all.

"Now the streets and alleys are singing praises to the emperor for loving the people like a son.

They were very supportive of the New Deal. "

Shen Hao smiled: "This is beneficial to them, of course support, the little people are the easiest group of people to satisfy, as long as you give him a little sweetness, they will be grateful to you."

Although this group of people is a rabble, as long as they can live, they will be satisfied.

If you just let them rebel, they won't. "

Zhang Liang was deeply touched: "Now that the new policy is implemented, after the land is divided, next year's tax revenue will definitely increase by four or five times, which is a terrifying figure." "

Shi Zhixuan, Lu Xiaofeng and the others all laughed with satisfaction.

Shi Zhixuan on the side frowned and said, "However, there is a very critical issue now. "

Shen Hao was puzzled: "What's the problem?"

Shi Zhixuan took out a booklet, handed it to Shen Hao and said, "Your Majesty, it's better not to be too optimistic."

Here's the research of the last few days.

Now that a large amount of land has been divided, it is almost time for autumn planting.

But many farmers don't have seeds at home to sow grain, so how can this be done?

After all, many of them have never had land, and suddenly so much land is divided, and the seeds are also an astronomical amount for them."

Shen Hao looked at Zhang Liang and asked, "What do you think?"

Zhang Liang: "Put grain from the official grain warehouse and lend it to the people without charging interest." "

Shi Zhixuan asked again: "Then have you thought about it, if there is a major drought or flood, and there is no food in the official treasury for emergency relief, what will be the consequences?"

There will definitely be riots, and by that time, it will not be a small number"

Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment, and said again: "We can buy grain from the major grain merchants.

If anyone dares to raise the price of this machine, they will be strictly investigated. "

Shen Hao shook his head and said: "This will definitely not work, the finances are tight, and the finances don't have so much money, so you go and buy grain." "

Shi Zhixuan, who was on the side, saw Shen Hao's confident appearance and asked, "What is the emperor's plan?"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were fixed on Shen Hao, wanting to see what tricks he had.

Shen Hao said: "The biggest advantage of being an official is that it has the right to dispatch.

We can be a middleman.

Let the grain merchants lend the grain to the peasants, and the peasants pay the interest.

Give it back to them in the coming year, and we will act as guarantors. "

Zhang Liang was puzzled: "Then what if these grain merchants are not willing to lend to the peasants, and take the opportunity to raise prices?"

Shen Hao showed a mysterious smile, seeing this, Xuan Dezi, Shi Zhixuan, and Lu Xiaofeng's people all understood in seconds, and the emperor wanted to trick people again.

Shen Hao said with a smile: "In this case, the plan is in advance, starting from today, all shops must apply for industrial and commercial certificates if they want to open."

Without an industrial and commercial certificate, it is forbidden to sell any commercial restaurant. "

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, they didn't expect such a trick.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean is to use the industrial and commercial card to force them to buy food"

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, Shen Hao shook his head again and said:

"We are official, we can't use conspiracy to do things, that's too despicable, we must use conspiracy. "

"Yangmou?"

Zhang Liang, Lu Xiaofeng and the others looked puzzled, is there any conspiracy here?

Shen Hao smiled again: "It's the same borrowing grain, but if we ask the grain merchant and the grain merchant beg us, the effect is completely different." "

"Your Majesty, how can we get them to beg us?"

Shen Hao smiled faintly and explained slowly.

"First of all, we have to issue a notice that three days later, the industrial and commercial certificate will be issued, and the grain merchant will only issue the industrial and commercial certificate to one."

Zhang Liang and the others were puzzled: "Isn't it a monopoly to issue a certificate? In that case, wouldn't we be very passive." "

Shen Hao said: "A grain merchant with an industrial and commercial license, all the grain pricing power is in our official hands, he can make money, but not too much, once it exceeds our pricing power, he can be fined twice, understand?"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that in this way, although the grain was monopolized, the problem of autumn planting was solved, and at the same time a knife was placed on the neck of the grain, which was really good.

However, this policy can be changed at any time.

At the same time, a grain merchant also makes it easier for us to collect taxes, because there are not enough people now.

If there are too many employees in an industry, the labor cost of our tax collection is too large, and we have a certificate for each county, and it is convenient to collect taxes and manage.

As long as you match up with one family.

However, the largest scale of grain can only monopolize one prefecture (city), understand?

It's not just the grain industry, the salt, the cloth, and the horse market, but it's not a regular meeting to eat, drink, and have fun."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

"In this way, we are collecting a large tax, which is an indirect tax.

Instead of direct taxes, indirect taxes, taxes are collected, and ordinary people don't know about them."

"Your Majesty, what are direct taxes and indirect taxes?" Zhang Liang was confused by Shen Hao's new term.

Shen Hao said lightly: "It's very simple, the direct tax is 30% of the agricultural tax, and this tax is directly collected from the people called direct tax."

Indirect tax is the tax that only collects and issues large businesses with industrial and commercial certificates, which is called indirect tax.

It's like a foot of cloth, the merchant originally bought 100 wen and sold it to the people for 200 wen.

We charge five percent of the tax, so the cost of the merchant is one hundred and five cents.

The cloth he sold to the people was two hundred and five or two hundred and ten denits.

Although it was the people who paid for the cloth tax money, they would only think that the merchants were selling expensive, and would not say that we collected taxes indiscriminately, which is an indirect tax, understand?

We are grasping the big and letting go of the small, and the people will be grateful to Dade and hate the businessmen."

After Shen Hao finished speaking, everyone was shocked.

Nima, can you still play like this?

Simply genius idea.

It seems that one industry has been monopolized, but it has been consolidated.

Not only did the tax be collected, but the people also paid the tax, which ordinary people could not understand.

In this way, all problems are solved, the treasury is full, and the people do not complain.

If it's too expensive, you don't have to buy it.

I have to say that this trick is really powerful.

In the afternoon, Shi Zhixuan, as a cabinet minister, left early because of a lot of government affairs.

Moreover, Shen Hao's sudden proposal to establish industry and commerce is due to the addition of a tax department and an industry and commerce department under the household department, which is a very big work, and Shi Zhixuan has no heart to stay.

Lu Xiaofeng also left.

However, Shen Hao didn't leave, he still had to stay and get the military power of Yuzhou.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

This week, the busiest thing is the yamen, and thousands of scholars are anxious, all of whom are used to register their identities.

After all, population registration, this is a huge project.

The two largest families in Yuzhou and Chentang, the Chen family and the Tang family, have been controlled in Chentang for hundreds of years.

Therefore, it was named Chen Tang.

It can be said that it is a deep-rooted family gate, and the combined wealth of the two families accounts for 70% of the entire Yuzhou.

In this land reform, the land was distributed according to the population, and they suffered the greatest losses, and the family lost at least 300,000 mu of fertile land, and this kind of blow was simply fatal.

However, the accumulation of hundreds of years should not be underestimated.

In a delicate Jiangnan courtyard, two graceful and luxurious middle-aged men drank tea and played chess.

"This time, how much did Brother Chen lose?" said Tang Lihu, the head of the Tang family, with a smile;

Chen Zhicheng shook his head and said: "It's okay, because there are many descendants of the younger generations, and there are thousands of acres left." "

Although he said it lightly, his face was still very ugly.

This time not only suffered heavy losses, but it was simply a broken bone, and the Chen family and the Tang family suffered heavy losses.

Tang Lihu snorted coldly: "The little emperor thinks beautifully, I really think that it will be over if the field is divided."

Chen Zhicheng frowned and said lightly: "Brother Tang, don't mess around, be careful to provoke the fire, this little emperor is not easy to provoke, or Southern Shaolin has been destroyed, and it is not difficult to do anything to the Chen and Tang families."

When the time comes, our two families will really be gone, and it is estimated that Chen Tang will have to change his name."

Tang Lihu said gloomily: "Brother Chen, with such a heavy loss, will you be willing?"

Chen Zhicheng laughed at himself and said: "What can we do if we are unwilling? Although this new deal is a blow to us, it is a great benefit to the entire Great Zhou, do you think the entire Great Zhou will care about our thoughts?"

It's the Eight Kings, I think I will also support this policy, if you don't believe it, just wait."

Tang Lihu said lightly: "Autumn planting is coming soon, you said that the grain store does not sell grain, what will be the consequences?"

Chen Zhicheng shook his head and said: "Brother Tang, don't be naïve, if you really dare to do this, you will definitely attract the attention of the official uniform, and I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses at that time." "

Tang Lihu's eyes flashed with a hint of madness, and he said again: "Brother Chen, that's right, since they dare to play like this, we dare to play according to us."

You and I control the entire Yuzhou grain, cloth and salt business.

You said what would happen if we boiled all the grain in boiling water and then took it out and sold it to the peasants?"

Hearing this, Chen Zhicheng gasped and looked at Tang Lihu in shock.

If you do that, the wheat will not germinate after planting, and at that time, you will miss the best time to plant, and you will miss out on finding food seeds.

At that time, hundreds of thousands of acres of land were left without food, and the consequence of the second year, that is, famine, was absolutely the most fatal.

Chen Zhicheng was frightened by Tang Lihu's madness.

"If it is according to Brother Tang, then the above will definitely investigate, and finally find out to our heads"

Looking at Chen Zhicheng, whose eyes were evasive, Tang Lihu said again: "Of course, I have already thought it through.

In order not to attract attention, we can buy grain from the Eight Kings with great fanfare, so that everyone knows that our granary is out of grain, and we all buy it from the Eight Kings.

At that time, it is doubtful, and everyone will think that it is the Eight Kings who have joined forces to make trouble."

This is obviously a practice of injuring 1,000 enemies and injuring 800 of themselves, and the consequences are very serious.

Chen Zhicheng looked at the crazy Tang Lihu, and knew in his heart that this guy was already crazy and didn't think about the consequences.

Chen Zhicheng doesn't think that the emperor is so easy to fool today, although the Chen Tang family is awesome, but in the face of the general trend, they can't stand it.

Chen Zhicheng nodded and said, "Okay, then let's fight."

Tang Lihu laughed out loud this time, and snorted coldly: "I want the little emperor to know that we are not easy to bully, and I will be responsible for this matter."

"Brother Tang, we must be cautious and cautious in this matter, and we can't leak a little rumor, otherwise our whole family will have to be finished," Chen Zhicheng said solemnly;

"Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem," Tang Lihu said excitedly;

Under the sunset, Chen Zhicheng showed a sneer, he had just received the news that the court was going to issue an industrial and commercial certificate, and with a real certificate, whether it was grain, cloth, or private salt, it could be sold, which was a monopoly.

Once you get this certificate, the Chen family will definitely soar, and as for this stepping stone, it will be the Tang family.

So, he ordered the housekeeper and hurried to Zhang Liang's mansion.
