- how so?
Because the land in the world is divided into two types: official land and civilian land, and the court's income mainly comes from the taxation of official land and civilian land.
Among them, the tax on official land is several times heavier than that on private land.
The reason why Su Song¡¯s taxes are heavier than those in other parts of the country is not because the court imposed discriminatory taxes. It was because in the early days of the Kingdom, after Zhang Shicheng, who was entrenched in Su Song, was defeated, his and his subordinates' fields were all turned into official fields.
The proportion of official land in Su Song is far higher than the national average, and the tax rate is naturally far higher than the national average.
In the early days of the Republic of China, how heavy was the tax on official land?
Even if the weather is good, the people who rent official farmland have worked hard for a year. After paying the rent and taxes, they will only have half a year's food rations left.
Although the imperial court has continuously reduced taxes on official land since the Xuande period, the burden is still too heavy.
??The common people cannot survive by selling their sons and daughters, so naturally they have to flee and abandon their homes on a large scale. This is how hundreds of thousands of acres of abandoned farmland in Kunshan County came about.
The official fields were abandoned, and the court naturally had no tax revenue.
The situation in Mintian on the other side is not optimistic either.
Although the tax on private land is only one per ten, the burden is much lighter. But now it has been completely annexed by large households, and the large households have countless ways to evade taxes, such as donating, sending, spreading, moving hills, changing sections, changing registrations, etc., but the government cannot collect the taxes.
As a result, Su Song had the reputation of attaching great importance to gifts, but he had no actual practice of attaching great importance to gifts.
The other prefectures and provinces also followed suit. The imperial court's revenue dropped sharply, and a serious financial crisis would naturally break out.
Lin Run¡¯s reform of ¡°equalizing land and grain between the government and the people¡± can be said to be the right medicine for the situation.
First of all, ¡®equalizing land¡¯ smoothed the tax gap between official land and civilian land, greatly reducing the burden on official land, allowing the fleeing people to come back and continue farming. In this way, the court could not only restore tax revenue but also reduce the number of refugees.
Secondly, ¡®equal grain¡¯ allocates all the taxes and expenses of the people into the acres of land, allowing those with more land to pay more tax, those with less land to pay less tax, and those without land to pay no tax.
The so-called waste refers to the losses and transportation costs incurred by the government in the process of delivering taxes and grain to the people. This is a very heavy burden, even as high as seven or eight dou of tax and grain for one stone.
The previous envy was collected by the household. This was naturally beneficial to Tian Duo's large households, but it brought a heavy burden on Tian Shaozai.
¡° Spreading waste into the fields can enable wealthy and powerful families to afford the taxes they evade, and can also reduce the burden on the common people. It can also greatly curb the phenomenon of migration.
But the prerequisite for equalizing land and grain is clearing the land.
Because it was two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the records in the national yellow book have become extremely chaotic and cannot be used as evidence at all. It must be re-measured to clarify the tax rules and make them fair and reasonable.
So Lin Run has been pushing this matter since he took office. Now that the Jiufu Qingzhang has been completed, only Songjiang is left in trouble.

In the back hall.
Lin Run glanced at Zhao Hao and said in a deep voice: "This court is asking the Xu family to cooperate in withdrawing their land on the grounds of dredging the Wusong River. If they agree, then let's do it. If they don't agree, we will forcefully clear the land!"
Zhao Hao saw the look of determination on that handsome and handsome face, and thought that he was indeed a wolf killer.
But, what does this have to do with myself?
"Zhongcheng really has good intentions." Mr. Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "It's just such a confidential matter, shouldn't everyone like me, a kid, know about it? I'm not afraid that the news will be leaked and the situation will be passive."
"Don't be afraid." Lin Run said with a playful smile: "Since this hospital has told you, it will treat you as one of its own."
"Zhongcheng fell in love with the wrong person, and the younger generation is very frightened." Mr. Zhao was flattered, and refused angrily: "But I am too young, and I am not a serious official. I am afraid that there is nothing I can do to help Zhongcheng."
"No, the success or failure of this hospital depends on you." Lin Run looked at Zhao Hao steadily and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Zhao Hao accepts the order!"
"Huh?" Mr. Zhao looked confused. "What to pick up?"
"Accept the order." Lin Run rolled his eyes helplessly, stood up, and took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve.
Zhao Haoxin said, where did this come from?
He had no choice but to kneel down and said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, Zhao Hao, accepts the order."
"Edict: Zhao Hao, a doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, reviews the Hanlin and responds to the dispatch of Lin Run, the governor of heaven. There must be no mistakes. Anyone who violates it will be regarded as resisting the decree. I admire this."
"Ah?" Zhao Hao raised his head, his head buzzing.
"Ah, what, why don't you thank me?" Lin Run looked at Zhao Hao enviously and said, "Shujishi studied hard for three years, and only after passing the examination can he be awarded the Imperial Examination. You are only fifteen years old, and you have been accepted into this noble position without taking the imperial examination. , it can be seen that His Majesty is generous?. "
"Thank you." Zhao Hao asked Heaven speechlessly, which song was this mother-in-law singing?
Before leaving Beijing, he once visited Emperor Longqing in the palace, and paid a lot of money to polish his pen, in exchange for a plaque with the words "Extremely Fresh Flavor" personally inscribed by the emperor.
That time, Long Qing dragged him around for a long time, but he didn't even mention that he should be put under Lin Run's charge.
Seeing that Zhao Hao was confused, Lin Run didn¡¯t correct him that saying ¡®thank you¡¯ was wrong, so he handed Huang Ling to him and said:
"Take a look and see if it's genuine. If you really don't believe it, you can write to His Majesty and ask."
With that said, he handed another square silver medal to Zhao Hao and said:
"This is given to you by Your Majesty. If you stamp this seal on the ink, the express delivery company will rush it to the capital at a cost of eight hundred miles. The General Secretary is not allowed to open it for reading. It must be sent intact to the emperor."
Zhao Hao took the heavy seal and looked at the seal-style Yin text on it with the words 'rope jiu jiu miao', and the words 'silver seal secret memorial' suddenly appeared in his heart.
This is the right of secret seals granted by the emperor to his close ministers. Usually only high-ranking officials of third rank or above can obtain it.
Zhao Hao is still far away from the third level.
But he didn¡¯t feel honored at all. Instead, he felt extremely hot.
Looking at the Huang Ling and seal in his hand, Zhao Hao finally realized that while he was planning something serious, he had already become someone else's pawn
??~~
After the two of them sat down again, Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and said: "What is going on, please let me know clearly."
"If I tell you, I don't know. Do you believe it or not?" Lin Run also smiled bitterly and said:
"I just received this decree and this seal not long ago."
¡°As he spoke, he smiled and said, ¡°Of course, we already have one in this hospital.¡±
Zhao Hao looked at him and thought, isn't this nonsense? You are the best governor in the world, it would be strange if you don't have one.
"But you can also give me a green-robed official. What does it mean?"
???????????Does this mean humming, or is it a bad idea?
"Actually, our hospital did not plan to contact you so early. We also planned to observe and observe again. It was only after I went back to Nanjing last time and talked with Mr. Hai that I made up my mind to come to you for help."
Then I heard Lin Run throw out another trump card.
Zhao Hao was completely dumbfounded. Why did the Sea Fighter also show up? What is he messing around with?
The last time we met, he didn¡¯t tell me anything.
"Master Hai, like me, is sent by His Majesty to run errands in Jiangnan. It's just that he's secretly doing it while I'm doing it openly, and we have different divisions of labor." Just listen to Lin Run's explanation.
Zhao Hao understood everything now
