This simple truth that Li Mu said in his previous life can be explained by another very simple concept. Every transaction of the three letters g.d.p. can cash out a market value, and the overall concept of market value is g.d.p.
a form of expression.
But he couldn't explain this concept of a thousand years later, unless he could explain it so that everyone present could accept the fact that he had traveled through time a thousand years later.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand. It's enough if you can understand the basic concepts. All he wants is to implement the New Deal.
As a standard college student who has studied Chinese history, Li Mu has studied almost all major land policies in Chinese history. This was a key question in his college entrance examination and was a must-take.
China's main land system is a traceable line. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, land was rewarded for military merit and allowed to be privately owned. The Qin Dynasty organized household registration and collected corvees. The Han Dynasty began to collect head taxes, and the period from the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty
, established the system of poll tax and rent tax. The subsequent sequence is also very clearly recorded in history textbooks. With the serious land annexation, rent tax could not be implemented, and the mid-Tang Dynasty Reform changed it to a two-tax system.
Household tax and local tax were separated, and Wang Anshi's reform in the Northern Song Dynasty developed the land-based tax law on this basis, dividing households into different classes and levying different taxes.
During the Zhang Juzheng period of the Ming Dynasty, a whip law was implemented to merge taxes and levies. Land taxes, corvees, and handymen were divided among the acres, and the levies were returned to the land. The land was measured and levied in dings, and the levies were levied according to acres and levied in silver. In fact, this already had apportionment
There were signs of dividing every ding into an acre, and in the Qing Dynasty, it was actually because the original tax policy could not be maintained. In order to maintain its rule, the Qing Dynasty tried to win over people's hearts. Several reasons were put together.
It just came into being.
Is this policy good? In the environment of feudal society, this is already the best land policy. It reduces the economic burden of landless and landless farmers, because the target of expropriation is land and relaxes the control of population.
, which has greatly promoted population growth. And because the number of fields is fixed, the space for government officials at all levels to make mistakes is further reduced. Although it cannot completely eradicate corruption, it also reduces its space and relieves the pressure on the people in disguise.
It can be said that the policy of dividing land into acres is the culmination of land policies during the feudal society period. It is a policy that is very worthy of implementation and is feasible.
Li Mu seriously considered why no dynasties before the Qing Dynasty had thought of such a policy? In addition to the limitations of thinking, the more reason should be that the social environment at that time was not ready to reach this point. Moreover, it had reached this point.
Taking one step is difficult because it must have the premise of "pushing it over again". Throughout history, the several successful land policy reforms were all at the beginning of a dynasty, and after the middle period, classes were fixed.
Even the imperial power is difficult to change.
The two-tax system in the Middle Tang Dynasty, in a sense, only eased the disintegration of the country, but did not change the fact of disintegration.
Now is Zhenguan, which is an opportunity. Li Shimin is a courageous hero, and the strength of the powerful family is at a historical low. If Li Shimin grits his teeth, can withstand the pain, carry out drastic reforms, and jump to a thousand years,
It's not a dream!
Li Mu has already explained the pros and cons, argued with the ministers, and done everything he can. Now everything is in Li Shimin's mind. If he can make up his mind, this matter can be done. If he is hesitant, this matter can be done.
Nothing will happen.
Li Mu, a time-travelling butterfly, could only go so far. At this moment, Li Mu finally felt the limit of the time-traveler. The final choice of things was still not in his hands, and the real decision of history was still in his hands.
People are still these figures in history!
Li Mu stopped talking and just looked at Li Shimin, waiting for his final decision.
All eyes are focused on Li Shimin. Even though he is a born king with a huge heart, facing so many eyes, it is inevitable that his heart will tighten.
Li Shimin took a deep breath, paused briefly, and finally said: "What a good business tax, what a good one to never increase taxes! I have made up my mind and cannot repeat the same mistakes. The new policy starts with me!"
"Your Majesty!" By now, the matter was done, and Wei Zheng no longer persisted, but he still wanted to point out the problem: "Li Mu's idea is good, and I agree with it, but the problem is that the fields that are currently being cultivated are still
There is unevenness... If it is changed, I am afraid that it will cause the fields to become barren. Even if it is a short-term problem, it will be a huge setback for recuperation! Moreover, the rent-to-yong modulation is closely related to the government and military system, and it is closely related to each other.
You have to be careful all over your body!”
"What Mr. Wei said is absolutely true. When you come up with an idea, you must not cover all aspects of it. That's why Mr. Wei is asked to preside over the practice to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps. If I were to preside over the practice, it would be a blinding eye and it would be counterproductive!"
"That makes sense!" Li Shimin saw that Li Mu had withdrawn his sharpness, and knew that his goal today had been achieved, so he took over the words to help him: "Everything has its Yin and Yang sides, and it must be discussed to achieve a good result.
, this matter will be discussed later, everyone should go back and think about it, today’s morning meeting will end here.”
After saying that, he wanted to withdraw from the court, but Wei Zheng stood up again: "Your Majesty, the matter has not been discussed yet, how can we stop the court? The question I just asked has not been answered by Zhuluhou. What will happen if the people go on strike?
What to do if there is inequality? These are all thorny questions. If he can’t give an answer, wouldn’t it be absurd to just clamor for restructuring!”
This statement was immediately echoed by everyone. Li Shimin looked at Li Mu helplessly, his eyes expressing everything: It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that you have made people angry, so I can't help you!
Li Mu laughed, looked at Wei Zheng and others, and said: "Wei Gong, I originally wanted to save some face for you, and didn't want to be the first to take credit for everything, but I saw that Wei Gong was so aggressive that all my efforts were in vain.
Then I have said it all, and it will be well remembered in the history books in the future. Half of the contribution to the prosperous Tang Dynasty was made by the wise king and half by the wise ministers. There was only one wise king and only one wise minister. All the princes were just decorations!"
Wei Zheng's face turned red with anger and he said, "I won't listen to your useless words. Just answer the question!"
"It's very simple. I said it at the beginning. There is no royal land in the Four Seas. The court is the landlord, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the landlord, and everyone is a tenant. If you don't plant it, there are people who plant it, but they don't plant it at all, and there are soldiers to plant it.
, who is missing, the Tang Dynasty is still the Tang Dynasty, don’t use this to scare people! The uneven distribution of land can be discussed. After the chaos, there will be more people and less land. If the court wants to resettle it, everyone can do it without changing the current situation.
They are assigned fields, and after a few years, the newly born people without fields can still learn a craft. Which craftsman in the Ministry of Industry does not earn more than farming? The method was thought up by people, and living people can still make people urinate.
