    "Why is your understanding so poor?

    The title of the most talented woman in the world shouldn't be yours, right? What I mean is that you have to understand the deeper meaning of this sentence. The deeper meaning of rising rice and fighting rice and hatred is that once you do something,  If you get used to it, others will take it for granted.

    Today, you allocated 100,000 kilograms of grain from the Shaofu for disaster relief and replaced the Ministry of Revenue to do this. Do you believe that in a few months, when drought or floods occur in other places, the Ministry of Revenue will still cry out to you about poverty?  Ask for food to be transferred from Shaofu.

    The reason why Emperor Gaozu wanted to merge the royal private property into the Shaofu was to separate the private treasury from the national treasury.

    It is to clarify responsibilities and relationships.

    The Shaofu is the personal butler of the royal family. Things belonging to the Shaofu are royal things. Royal things can be donated in the form of donations, in the name of the emperor or yourself.

    But it absolutely cannot replace the Ministry of Household Disaster Relief.

    The distinction between public and private has been destroyed by you.

    Do you get me?  "

    Qiao Mu said this very seriously at this time, because this matter is indeed very serious.

    This matter is just the beginning, but some things just can¡¯t have a beginning. Once there is a beginning, there will be endless troubles soon.

    Disaster relief is originally the responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue, and it is also a use of national tax revenue. It does not say that taxes are not used to do this. Instead, the emperor has to pay for it himself. Since the emperor does not take a penny from the Ministry of Revenue, then the Ministry of Revenue should not use it.  Emperor's penny.

    This is the most basic distinction between public and private.

    Once destroyed, does it mean that the two can call each other? This is obviously not possible.

    Once this kind of thing happens, it will be even more difficult to determine the finances of the Ministry of Revenue, and there will inevitably be more and more tax problems. Some officials may become more and more greedy. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to be more greedy.  , the Shaofu always has the bottom line.

    If you are short of money, just ask the Shaofu.

    This is when I met a kind-hearted emperor.

    If you meet someone who is mediocre or greedy for pleasure, it may lead to another situation, that is, the young master runs out of money and uses national taxes from the treasury for his own royal expenses.

    No matter which of these two situations.

    They are all extremely bad things.

    "No way, the Ministry of Household Affairs will not do this"

    Wen Renlian herself was a little hesitant.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you say that civil servants are shameless?

    Since you don¡¯t have any shame, there¡¯s nothing strange about doing such a thing, it¡¯s perfectly normal.

    You have to stick to the bottom line in this matter.

    Once it cannot be defended, it will be like a flood breaking through a dam, and it will be out of control from now on.  "

    Qiao Mu has experienced many worlds and has been the emperor of several worlds, so she is very clear about the virtues of many literati and the unspoken rules of many officialdoms. What she said at this time can be regarded as famous quotes.  advice.

    "I see.

    It seems that I am still far behind those old foxes, uh, ancestors, I am not saying that you are cunning, I am referring to them, you are called witty.  "

    Wen Renlian thought for a while and sighed at first, but then she realized that what she said was ambiguous and hurriedly explained it to Qiao Mu.

    "It's okay. Anyway, you haven't been like this for a day or two. The Ai family has long been used to it. Now that you have eaten and drank enough, and things have been settled, you can go back!"

    The Ai family also wants to listen to a play in the evening.

    I won¡¯t leave you alone.  "

    Qiao Mu looked at the sky and found that it was already about six or seven o'clock. He yawned first, and then began to say farewell to the guests.

    ¡°Hey, ancestor, I still have something to do.

    I would also like to ask about land annexation and national taxation. Recently, I have been reading history books and looking at land records and tax records reported from various places, and I discovered a very strange question.

    Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country's population has been increasing year by year, but the land only increased for a period of time in the early days of the People's Republic of China, and then became less and less. The same is true for tax revenue.

    ??About 20 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the national tax revenue reached a record high, with a tax revenue of 80 million taels a year. After the death of Emperor Taizu, the tax revenue became less and less.

    As of this year, the summer and autumn taxes combined are less than 30 million taels of silver. This gap is too big, and the land is nearly half less than the land in its heyday. Even the population changes are very strange. Founding of the People's Republic of China  In the early days, the country's population was almost every otherIt will double in a few years, but in the past hundred years, instead of rising, the population has actually declined.

    This is all very abnormal!  "

    Many times, if you look at the data for one or two years, you won¡¯t see any difference at all, but if you compare the data for one or two hundred years.

    You can see the obvious difference.

    Wen Renlian had never been in charge of government before, so she couldn't help but want to work harder, do more, and learn more. Therefore, she pulled out all the country's data from the past few hundred years to check it out.  , this investigation revealed some obvious problems.

    ¡°All the data shows that some people are hollowing out the country¡¯s economy, and some are harming the public and enriching private interests.

    "So what do you want to ask?

    Would you like to know the reason or the solution?  "

    Qiao Mu asked helplessly as he yawned.

    ¡°I want to ask for a solution.

    I don¡¯t know who to ask about this matter. I feel that everyone is a stakeholder. I even discovered that even my father, my brother and my sister-in-law had concealed the number of acres of land and population to a certain extent.  "

    Wen Renlian said slightly frustrated.

    There are some things that everyone knows are right and wrong, but when it comes to their own interests, they will inevitably sit on their butts.

    This is obviously the case with things like paying taxes.

    ¡°There is a solution, but do you dare?

    This matter is not something you can handle now.

    If you don¡¯t have enough officials who can be called upon at any time, if you don¡¯t have enough soldiers to conquer the country at any time, and if you don¡¯t have enough officials to accurately convey all your orders, then you don¡¯t want to complete this thing. This kind of thing cannot be done by talking twice.  In short, it can be solved by issuing one or two orders.

    This is destined to require bloodshed and mobilization of troops.

    "It's useless for the Ai family to tell you now. You can't do it even if you say it, and you'll be troubled for nothing. It's better to do what you can do now. Become the emperor first, and wait until you take control of the military."  "

    Qiao Mu has solved this kind of problem many times before, and there are only two ways to solve it, one is slightly softer, and the other is slightly tougher.

    The softer approach is to develop the economy as much as possible, get the vast majority of people off the land as much as possible, and implement stepped taxation for those with more land. The more land, the greater the tax amount. For ordinary people who have little or no land,  Then adopt tax exemption, so the problem will be solved naturally.

    Of course, even if it is gentle.

    The process also requires suppression by force.

    As for being tough, there are many ways.

    The best way is to find the faults of those big landowners, then raid their homes, seize their land, and then nationalize all that land, make it public land, and rent it to ordinary people at relatively low prices to cultivate food.

    As for not being able to find anything wrong?

    In this world, most big landowners did not buy their land frugally. These days, you will never be able to occupy so much land just by frugality and hard work. Which big landowner, or even a big wealthy family, can't occupy that much land?  A little bit of sordidness.

    Ordinary middle peasants have hundreds of acres of land at home, which may have been saved by generations of frugality, but those with thousands or tens of thousands of acres of land, or even dozens of hectares or ten thousand hectares of fertile land, say  It was saved by frugality.

    is it possible?

    Does their family eat gold and drink pearls?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
