Zhang Shouchu originally felt that doing business was quite comfortable.

But I never expected that Zhang Haogu's methods would be so fierce. How could you suddenly attack your own father?

You don’t take the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Virtues to heart at all.

Two or three months.

Zhang Haogu still discussed the skeleton of the "Da Ming Law", re-clarified and divided the powers of each department, and at the same time clarified the treatment of government officials.

With the law in place, the next step is implementation.

Zhang Haogu has increased the security forces around him a lot.

However, one Zhang An is enough.

Zhang An is now married. He was the girl Cui'er in his house before. After getting married, Zhang An still follows Zhang Haogu.

A residence was arranged next to Zhang Haogu, which was also arranged by the authorities.

Apart from anything else, Zhang Haogu still knows very well that he is definitely hated by others, especially these officials. The greater the official position, the stronger the hatred towards Zhang Haogu.

He could no longer live in his nice big house, and he no longer had the services of hundreds of people, so he had to live in this small room. If he didn't hate Zhang Haogu, it would be absolutely impossible.

If the protection is not complete, a killer will come to kill Zhang Haogu.

Zhang Haogu still cares about his own life.

Yongding County, Juxian Hall

Zhang Haogu still took the time to meet with Huang Zongxi.

This is a talent. Zhang Haogu also plans to take Huang Zongxi with him. This is a talent. If he takes him with him and trains him carefully in the future, he may be of great use in the future.

"Teacher!"

Huang Zongxi bowed respectfully to Zhang Haogu.

Zhang Haogu didn't speak, but nodded slightly, acknowledging himself as his disciple. He slowly said: "You came to the Juxian Hall, I know, your article is well written, incisive and reasonable!

"

Huang Zongxi said politely: "This is all inspired by my mentor!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Okay, don't say this anymore. I just put forward a concept, a materialistic concept. You can understand many truths from practice. This is your own ability!"

Huang Zongxi looked at Zhang Haogu and said, "Teacher, my student has a question and I would like to ask him for advice!"

"Say!" Zhang Haogu looked at Huang Zongxi with a smile.

Huang Zongxi pondered for a moment and then slowly said: "Student, during this period, I checked ancient books, but found a problem. Every time tax reforms were carried out in the past dynasties, the taxes were increased, and each time they were heavier. My mentor, the imperial court

The original intention is to reduce the burden on farmers, but after each tax reform, the burden on the people rises to a higher level than before the reform after a period of decline, which is contrary to the original purpose of the reform."

Zhang Haogu: "..."

Good guy, this guy Huang Zongxi can ask himself a fatal question directly.

Isn’t this the famous Huang Zongxi’s Law?

Huang Zongxi believed that taxation in the past dynasties had three harmful effects. First, every tax reform in the past dynasties made the tax heavier, and each time it was heavier; secondly, farmers had to wait for the products to be sold before paying with money to grow food.

Tax, the middle layer is exploited by merchants; third, taxation is uniform regardless of whether the land is good or bad.

To be able to raise this question, it is obvious that Huang Zongxi has thought about it.

But how should you answer it yourself?

Zhang Haogu looked at Huang Zongxi and pondered for a long time. Then he slowly said, "What if the agricultural tax is cancelled?"

"What?" Huang Zongxi suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Zhang Haogu in disbelief: "Cancel the agricultural tax?"

"Maybe it can't be done now, but maybe one day it can be done in the future!" Zhang Haogu smiled and said slowly: "But your problem will continue to exist!"

Agricultural taxes have been abolished, and the price of chemical fertilizers seems to have skyrocketed.

A certain goose factory out of kindness provided housing subsidies to its employees, and the rental prices in surrounding communities also increased accordingly.

Has the future been resolved?

It doesn't seem to be resolved.

When Huang Zongxi raised this question, Zhang Haogu was really caught off guard. However, he also knew that it was absolutely impossible not to collect taxes, but this problem still had to be solved.

At this moment, Huang Zongxi didn't know what to say.

Zhang Haogu said very frankly: "I can't answer the question you mentioned, but I think we should try to solve it, investigate, think, and practice. Maybe, we can

Maybe we’ll find the answer slowly!”

In fact, Huang Zongxi proposed the three evils of taxation.

Zhang Haogu solved two of them. The first farmer grew grain but had to wait for the products to be sold before paying taxes with currency. He was exploited by merchants in the middle. The strategy Zhang Haogu formulated was to collect grain from the government.

The lowest government price is set for the price of grain purchased in the farm. If other grain merchants want to purchase grain, they cannot go below this price.

Secondly, there is a unified taxation regardless of whether the land is good or bad. Nowadays, unified taxation is carried out on farms. The problem of poor land must be fully taken into account. Taxation is carried out for a collective rather than individual taxation. In addition, there is collective dividend distribution.

.

However, every time there is a reform, the tax will increase. Although this problem still has no disadvantages, Zhang Haogu also knows that after Yongzheng established the shareholding system, although the burden was reduced at the beginning, the further it went on,

The burden brought by this tax will be even heavier.

In fact, Zhang Haogu had speculated on an issue, and that was the Yanglian Silver that was used to share the money with his parents.

In essence, raising honest money is a process of plundering the people and then letting officials distribute the spoils. It is not a real process of taking money from the people and using it for the people.

As a result, systemic collapse will naturally occur.

At present, the problem of dividing a small family into an acre is not too big, but in the future it will be difficult to say.

The question raised by Huang Zongxi is also a real problem, one that Zhang Haogu must face.

Step by step!

What will happen in the future? It’s amazing to be able to see only three steps. Through constant investigation and observation, we can slowly find out and fill in the gaps.

Throughout the whole day, Zhang Haogu and Huang Zongxi chatted quite happily.

From now on, I will stay by my side and be a secretary for myself, write articles, and work on some theoretical stuff.
Chapter completed!
