Chapter 1493
Henan can have the current situation. For example, all kinds of new policies can be implemented smoothly regardless of taxation, business, or agriculture. To be more careful, the gangsters finally played a big role.
Of course, it is not unrelated to Ying Yi’s thunderous method.
For example, tax matters, if there are no thieves raging, based on the heritage in Henan Central Plains, no matter who comes, it will be difficult for them to eat and live with the nobles and big landlords and merchants.
The issue of taxation has accumulated many ills over the past dynasties. It is not that no one has realized that, as early as many years ago, a great man of Great Ming had reformed this issue. That is Zhang Juzheng.
With a whip, the gentry pays taxes together. Integrating all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes into one, removes many of the things that can be used in the complicated taxation, and incorporates the original privileged class into the tax law. One benefits the people and the other benefits the country.
In fact, Ying Yi’s current tax law is similar to Zhang Wenzhong’s new law.
Zhang Juzheng’s new law reform is based on his powerful means and the position of commanding the world, and it took ten years to forcefully implement it. However, Ying Yi is too relaxed here. Li Chuang harmed Central Plains and the commoners were displaced, but the local tenants and local tyrants were also hit by the disaster.
When Er Zeying entered Kaifeng, he used thunderbolt means to perform Great Qing wash on the remaining households on the ground, and the heads of the killers were rolling.
In this way, the smooth implementation of the new law can be guaranteed.
In Wanli, Zhang Juzheng reformed and injected a boost to the declining Great Ming. However, people left the tea to cool down, and died. The new law of Zhang Wenzhong was finally abolished under the opposition of the gentry and landlords. People sigh.
Although Wen Zhonggong’s new method is good, there are still many unsolved problems, such as the so-called fire consumption.
Summary of taxes and servitudes, discounted in silver. But in any case, this link of fire consumption cannot be avoided. Commoners converts one tax into two pieces of silver and submits it. Because most of it is scattered and broken silver, it needs to be smelted after the government collects it. During the smelting process, a certain amount of loss occurs—for example, if you originally received one hundred taels of scattered silver, only after smelting Ninety taels are left.
Among these, there is a place for hands and feet.
This is one of them.
The second fire cost, which is the cost of long-distance transportation of taxes and silver, must be included in it.
There is more room for manipulation.
Perhaps the hundred silver tael originally collected from the private sector is only 40-50 taels after removing the fire consumption. What about such a big gap?
Spread on the heads of commoners.
According to the new law, commoners only need to pay ten silver taels, and if the fire is consumed, they need to pay twenty taels or more.
This is a problem that even Zhang Juzheng cannot solve.
In the final analysis, it is still limited by the times and social productivity.
In fact, there are ways to solve this problem, such as banning the currency status of gold, silver and copper and replacing it with paper money.
Great Ming is either a treasure that has never been issued before, or a paper currency. It is a pity that banknotes are prone to counterfeiting, and the hidden dangers are even greater.
This is the limit of the times. If the problem of fraud cannot be solved, paper money cannot replace the currency status of gold, silver and copper.
Ying Yi’s tax law is directly linked to the new currency, which cuts off the so-called fire consumption. Ying Yi can be sure and affirm that the new currency made of gold alloy cannot be smelted by the people. . It's absolutely impossible, like gold, silver and copper, which can be broken with a single cut with scissors.
Moreover, the new currency has a large denomination, the highest is 10,000 yuan, and it is only a big card, but it is equivalent to one hundred silver tael.
The issuance of the new currency has solved the problem of fire consumption, and has largely eliminated the hidden dangers of officials' hands and feet. In addition, the sitting tigers and local tyrants in Henan have been swept away, and that is what is left. Frightened by Ying Yi's ferocity and had to accept it, Ying Yi easily smelt Henan.
However, if it is placed in other places, such as Jiangnan, the tax law will be difficult to implement. The privileged class, who was suppressed by Zhang Juzheng and resurfaced and became even more fierce, is absolutely impossible to easily get down and become small.
Of course, Ying Yi doesn't care. His knife is sharp enough.
Ying Yi's smelting of Henan is all-round. Tax law and commercial law are just one of them. In contrast, the importance of the education of commoners is still above it.
One is to use this method to break the inherent knowledge privilege formed over the millennia, and the other is the 1st Step of Ying Yi's large-scale implementation of Origin Qi's program.
The gentry class is the intellectually privileged class. The privileges they have are rooted in knowledge. The ruling class is composed of people of insight, and privileges come from this.
However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, society gradually changed. This First Rank changed from the more pure scholarly Aristocratic Family to a combination of businessman and scholar.
Businessmen use money to support scholar, wait until scholar has reached a high position, and then feed back to the businessmen, cover them with policies, and benefit them.
The so-called parties in the Ming court, such as the Donglin Party, such as the Chu Party, Zhejiang Party, and Jin Party, are all such deformities.
The existence of this class, one monopolizes land and knowledge, and the other monopolizes commerce, forming a huge monster lying on the country and sucking blood fiercely.
Ming was not killed by natural disasters, nor by the Tartars. The root of its decline and demise is this Blood Sucking Insect.
In the original history, Manchu-Qing used butcher knife and blood to kill this class to pieces, and was terrified of killing. With its slave system, he only entered Central Plains.
It can be seen that this cancer is not without a solution. It is fierce, but also weak. It is fierce, aimed at weakness, and in the face of violence, it can only be low and small.
This is a class that has been corroded by money and interests. The so-called capital class is this stuff. There is only profit, not righteousness.
The innocent has no bones.
Of course, in the current era of turbulent change, it has not completely corrupted. After the Jiashen national disaster, there was still a scholar who was martyred in the end. But it is finally not as tragic and majestic as the 100,000 people who died in the sea when Song died.
Itchy scalp, and the water is too cold.
To reverse, enlightenment is one of them. But it can't be a one size fits all because of Shang's evil strategy. To limit usage, to use knowledge to teach, and to guide it in an orderly and righteous manner under the premise of obeying the evolution of the times is right.
The existence of a country and civilization is aimed at the entire nation. Everyone is like a dragon, and just now is the ultimate goal of humanity.
The barbaric body, the civilized spirit, the unbreakable body, the unbending spirit, this is the meaning of a country to the nation.
1st Step, start with enlightenment.
The law concerning related aspects is the first guarantee. Apart from this, Ying Yi had considered it a long time ago in terms of specific teaching methods.
In terms of humanities and culture, Ying Yi will not make too many changes. No matter the three hundred thousand, or the four books and five classics, they are the essence of civilization. The spirit of this nation is hidden in it and does not need to be changed.
And some new things need to be added to adapt to the progress of the times.
