Zhu Yihai is now dealing with the officials and gentry in Yanzhou Prefecture. It is not a direct attack on the local tyrants. After all, he is facing an entire group of scholars.
This is also the reason why Zhu Yihai currently sits in the position of supervising the country. If he dares to mess with the entire group, he will not be able to secure his position. He must be famous.
Still speaking according to the general version of the Jiajing Dynasty's final exemption rules, this is also a tenable basis, and then use this to attack these scholars.
Those who should be exempted will be exempted, but those who exceed the amount must be paid, even for twenty years.
The officials who have been in office for the past twenty years have to make up for the shortfalls and arrears of local government.
But Zhu Yihaite added one more thing, that is, there is a tax-free quota, and there is no tax for every ten acres or less.
If a family has only one adult and the farmland is less than ten acres, the tax is completely exempted.
If the amount exceeds ten acres, only the excess amount will be paid. If it is two cents, twenty acres will be exempted.
With this amount, the vast majority of people, especially the poor, can be included in the scope of exemption from supplementary payment, so as not to harm the people.
Fang Fengnian was a bachelor, and his title was a first-grade one, so he had 30 kilograms of grain from a thousand acres of land, and 30 ding equal exemptions from coercion. Zhu Yihai could not stand these benefits, no matter what methods he had used before, to give himself a name.
I don't even care if I get thirty acres of land for this one thousand acres.
Zhu Yihai only cares about what is beyond the quota. Thirty shi of grain a year will be waived for you, but you must make up for the land beyond a thousand acres. Thirty ding are exempted from the corvee, but you still have to serve Lijia, Zafan, etc.
Or broken into silver.
As for the officials in the county, according to the rules, only those with miscellaneous positions and clerks who are called migrant workers are eligible for exemption. For example, ordinary scribes, class leaders, etc. are not considered migrant workers, and they are not eligible for exemption.
, so all must be paid back.
As for the issue of making contributions and sending names, this is about taking advantage of loopholes, not directly evading taxes, so let them turn themselves in and clean up. If they take the initiative to deal with it and complete it within the deadline, then forget about it from now on. If they don't take the initiative to deal with it, and they are found out in the future, they will be punished.
Deal with it strictly.
Fang Kezhi knew that he was now the target of public criticism and everyone was staring at him. He also knew that his backer had fallen, so he could only actively liquidate it.
How many fields are under one's name, how many are in one's family, how much is overdue, how much has been owed over the years, and even which of the fields under one's name were originally military farmland, official farmland, etc., will all be liquidated this time.
It was a lot of money, but I knew I had no choice.
In the past, I had a lot of land and people in my name, but I didn't pay any money or food. Now it's no longer possible, and the knife has been put to my neck.
Zhu Yihai believed that the preferential and exemption regulations of the Jiajing Dynasty were many unreasonable, but he also knew that these people were bureaucrats after all, and it was impossible not to give them some privileges, but this kind of privileges could not be abused, otherwise it would be the same as today.
The whole country has been hollowed out.
Supervision must be made strictly in accordance with the quotas of concessions and exemptions, and they must not be allowed to exceed the quota at will, let alone evade and resist taxes.
Zhu Yihai now not only wants them to pay back, but also fines them, including fines and late payment fees. They have never heard of late payment fees, so they can just change it to a simple name, interest.
After Fang Kezhi sincerely expressed his willingness to pay back and accept the penalty, he received the ticket issued to him by Zhu Yihai as he wished.
Yanzhou Prefecture levied taxes according to the one-whip method. In addition to land taxes, there were three types of corvee: uniform corvee silver, Lijia silver, and miscellaneous silver.
The land tax is divided into silver per mu. The main payment is three cents six cents and three cents, and the miscellaneous payment is one cent and seven cents and seven cents. The total silver is five cents and four cents, and the silver per mu is levied.
Another part is levied according to the ding, and each ding is one denarius.
An additional 12% fuel consumption is added.
The land tax standard in Zhejiang is above average. In the past, the average land tax per mu was about five liters, which was lower than the land tax in Susong. Before Yiyibu, the national average was about three liters per mu, and Zhejiang's five liters was not high.
After a whip, all the corvee services were merged into one, some were added to the acres, and some were distributed according to the ding. The land tax was greatly increased, and the ding service silver was reduced a lot.
In Yanzhou, one acre of silver is levied at 5.4 cents, 100 acres of 5 taels and 4 cents of silver, and 100 acres of grain produced are 200 to 300 shi. Nowadays, grain is more than 2 taels per shi, and since Chongzhen, it has been around 1 tael in good years. The price of rice per shi
It's a little lower, but sixty-seven cents of silver is required. According to this calculation, the grain harvest per mu can be converted into about two taels of silver, and the levy of silver is five cents and four cents, which is less than thirty tax dollars.
Based on the calculation of four or five yuan per stone of grain in the Wanli year, the actual tax rate at that time was about twenty tax one.
Therefore, in the first ten years after the whip, the burden on the people was indeed reduced.
However, during the Apocalypse and Chongzhen Period, various miscellaneous services that had been merged into one came back, and with the addition of three salaries, official corruption, etc., the burden on the people became even heavier.
Zhu Yihai is now asking the wealthy and powerful to pay back the tax at the tax rate of Wanli's long whip, which is a direct tax of twenty to one, which is one dou per mu. However, he does not need to pay the original price at the expense of silver, but pay the grain directly.
Ding silver is still one penny per ding.
The additional fire cost is 12 percent, one liter and two liters per mu, and one cent and two silver per person.
Fang Ke had more than 10,000 acres of land under his direct name, many of which were donated as gifts, etc., but Zhu Yihai didn't care. Any excess of the quota would be counted as 12,000 acres.
If the silver is levied, the levy is 5/4 cents per mu, and with the additional surcharge, the total is 6 cents, 4 cents and eight cents, which is 777.6 taels of silver per year.
Zhu Yihai asked for food, which was 1,344 shi a year.
Not many a year.
But if the debt was recovered for 20 years, it would be 26,880 taels. Now the grain is more than one shi and two taels of silver, which is more than 50,000 taels.
And if the silver can be exchanged for only more than 700 taels in one year, and only more than 15,000 taels in twenty years, the difference is several times.
A ding of silver is negligible, one ding is more than one coin per year, a hundred ding is only about ten taels a year, and twenty years is only about 200 taels.
Zhu Yihai asked Fang to directly pay 26,880 stone grains, more than 100 taels of silver, and then impose a fine of 70 grains, plus a 30% penalty interest. In fact, the fine was doubled.
A total of 53,760 shi of grain and more than 500 taels of silver.
Facing this sky-high price to collect the fine, Fang Ke felt the blood vessels in his forehead bulging, then his vision went dark and he passed out.
After being lifted up and woken up by everyone, Fang Kezhi couldn't help but cry, "After the Wanli Dynasty, the exemption rules for scholars have been increased tenfold. A first-grade Beijing official can be exempted from 10,000 acres of land, and an unofficial Jinshi can be exempted from 3,350 acres."
Ten acres, 1,200 acres for those who have not yet been promoted to official positions, and 80 acres for new students..."
Zhu Yihai sneered twice, "The rules you are talking about are the rules set by Susong, Changzhen Town, Jiangnan in the early years of Wanli, not those set by the imperial court. In the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, Governor Yingtian had already dealt with this matter and abolished it.
After that, various prefectures and counties secretly colluded with the superiors and subordinates to deceive the superiors and subordinates regarding the exemption of money and food for the scholars, but how can they be defeated in black and white?"
Fang Kezhi cried again, "Although the students have more than 10,000 fields in their names, many of them were added in recent years. It is really unreasonable to pay for it for twenty years."
"Are you telling me it's reasonable?"
"You have ignored the laws of the country and evaded taxes all these years. If it had been during the Hongwu period, you would have peeled off the real grass and put it on display in the yamen. Your family members would not have escaped the consequences of having their homes confiscated and exiled to the army. Now I just want you to pay back.
I’ll fine you a little money and food to teach you a lesson, and you’re going to cry and complain to me that it’s unreasonable?”
"You can speak out!"
"Your Highness, students really can't afford so much money and food."
Zhu Yihai had no sympathy, "No money? How did you get these 10,000 acres of land? If you don't have money, sell the land. One acre of land can be sold for four or five, or even ten taels of silver. Ten thousand acres of land is at least four or five dollars."
Ten thousand taels of silver."
Fang Kezhi said helplessly, "Most of those lands do not belong to students, they are just in their names. Students cannot sell them even if they want to."
"It's in your name, so why isn't it your land? When you paid taxes, you said it was your land, and now you say it's not? You can't make up the payment if you don't have money? I'll make it easy for you, just exchange the land for silver.
, one acre of land is worth ten taels of silver, or five stones of grain."
"Twelve thousand acres of land will be discounted to 60,000 dan. After deducting the more than 50,000 shi of grain you should pay, I will give you more than 6,000 shi of grain, or more than 12,000 taels of silver!"
As soon as Fang Ke heard this, he cried and fainted again!
More than 12,000 acres of land were taken away for one or two thousand taels of silver? Doesn't this mean that one acre of land was sold for one tael of silver? Wouldn't this cost his life?
