I became the son of Renzong

"I think it is absolutely impossible. Wang Jiefu's new law allows various types of land occupation to be taxed not according to cultivated land, but to increase taxation twice that of property. On this point, it is impossible to pass."

"The old minister is blunt. Guochao guides the development of industries, and the workshop city sells various products, forming a situation of developing industries in Guochao. Courtiers, from cabinet discussions to political participation, are involved in various industries. The land used for these industries, Most of them are cultivated fields that were not taxed in the first place.”

"In fact, the achievements of industrial development in these years have indeed led to a decrease in cultivated land. As long as Annan's grain trade is guaranteed, there will be no grain shortage in the country as Wang Jiefu said, and naturally there is no need to collect land occupation tax as a backup .”

What Fu Bi said mentioned a condition: Annan’s grain trade guarantee; mentioned a result: the country’s cultivated land decreased; and also ignored a problem: whether land occupation should be taxed according to cultivated land.

Zhao Xi couldn't figure out why Wang Anshi had to make life and politics so frustrating, and why he had to make the reform so earth-shattering.

There is a saying in later generations called a soft landing.For so many years, Zhao Xi has been changing the status quo of the country based on this principle.

It is Wang Anshi who is now proposing this idea of ​​land occupation and tax increase. Zhao Xi feels that in a few years, this will be a matter of course.

Zhao Xi has been planning for many years and has been in power for many years. All in all, he has never tried to divide the interests on the existing basis.As a later generation, for the current Song Dynasty, he is fully capable of creating more benefits to change the plight of the country.

Therefore, all the changes have been carried out based on stability and without causing turmoil.Even Wang Anshi's new methods, Zhao Xi has made adjustments, and turned them into moderate, roundabout, and non-injurious innovations.

It seemed that Wang Anshi really couldn't see the power of the country. Zhao Xi covered him, and he still wanted to jump out to provoke others.Really stubborn!

It is correct to levy a different tax on industrial land than on farmland.But the timing is really not right.From Zhao Xi's original intention, he naturally hoped to pass, which would reduce his effort.The problem is that Guochao's industrial development is still in its infancy, still very delicate, and needs careful maintenance.

Such a new law of land occupation and tax increase is likely to slow down the progress of the country's industrial development, and make these landlords of the country's dynasty powerful and powerful, and value land again.This is not what Zhao Xi hoped to appear.

"Industrial development has greatly increased the tax revenue of the court. How can it be compared with the tax revenue from farming? The old new law of Wangge is only retrograde and retrogressive. It emphasizes farming and neglects industry, which is contrary to the five-year plan of the court. topic."

"Guochao's food is overly dependent on trade. Once Annan cuts off the grain trade, the disadvantages of reducing cultivated land will immediately appear."

"Since my Great Song Army can beat Annan twice, I can continue to beat him. He Annan dare not!"

"In fact, the cultivated land has not decreased, at least in the east of the river, but it has not increased as fast as when the Farmland Water Conservancy Law was implemented."

"However, Guochao's population is increasing."

Discussing in groups, the ministers and workers still continued the way they did in the previous court meeting. They were never able to discuss the matter, and they could always be dragged away by the ministers who had a sense of presence.

In fact, all the ministers and workers are avoiding the question of whether the land occupation should increase taxes or not.In fact, the income generated by the industry is far from comparable to that of farming. If it is said that the two taxes on farming have been paid all the time, it is impossible to say... After all, the current officials are not easy to fool.

The problem is, according to Wang Anshi's proposal of land occupation tax increase law, directly pay according to the product, which is twice the commercial tax, then it is better to resume farming.

Therefore, all group discussions avoided the issue of whether to agree with Wang Anshi's new law, and talked about him from left to right.

Wang Anshi still had too much trust in the conduct of his courtiers.

However, Zhao Xi was a little overjoyed when he saw the group discussion news summarized.In such a situation, perhaps, some adjustments can be made to the policy of industrial land occupation now.

Zhao Xi still underestimated the consciousness of scholars.

Chapter 634 The Little People's Counterattack

As for the land occupation tax increase law, the Dachaohui discussed the most, but it was the least effective.

The other issues that need to be discussed at the Great Court Conference are concluded one by one every day, that is, Wang Anshi's land occupation and tax increase law has been discussed, but there has been no result.

I really want to reject it directly, but with the Chen family in front, I dare not follow the same path.

All group discussions were ambiguous, and none of the officials dared to veto them.Perhaps Zhao Xi didn't even know that the courtiers were in such awe of him.

It's the third day of the Great Court...

"I heard that Mr. Wang Ge proposed at the Dachao Conference that the country should pay double the commercial tax on products."

In the upper room of an inn in Bianliang, someone was whispering.

The imperial court did not ask for the proposal of the Great Court Assembly to be kept secret, on the contrary, it encouraged publicity.

No one would have guessed that the person discussing in a low voice was Chen Qi, the head of the Chen family in Langzhou.

He bound himself to Beijing to plead guilty, but was ordered to go back by the officials.Chen Qi reached an agreement with Workshop City as quickly as possible without any hesitation.Give up what should be given up, and give up what should not be given up.

It's just that he didn't expect that the Chengdu government actually dismissed his family's only political participation.Scholars in the current state and government know that participating in the administration and deliberation of the cabinet is the power structure of the state.

As an aristocratic family of farming and education, Chen Qi knew that once they were excluded from the power structure of the country, it would mean that their Chen family would be reduced.

So, he didn't give up, he went to Beijing.I hope to find a chance so that his younger brother, the leader of Langzhou, can retain his name of participating in politics.

"How about a group discussion?"

"There is no news for the time being. I heard that the group discussion has no results, and no courtiers agree."

"Thank you Brother Liu!"

Chen Qi didn't expect that one day he would call a merchant a brother.Although his family also has a business, he never agrees with merchants.

However, when he went to Beijing this time, he searched all over the courtiers in central Shu, but no one received him.Even Mr. Zhang Ge, who had a friendship with his father, shirked it for various reasons.

The warmth and coldness of human feelings is what Chen Qi feels the most deeply this time.

No one noticed Chen Qi's entry into the capital, not even the Secretary of the Imperial City.An aristocratic family that has been sanctioned by the court has basically left the mainstream and is not worthy of attention.

It's not that Zhang Fangping is so unkind, and it's not that his eye sockets are narrow, but he is very clear about Chen Qi's purpose in coming to Beijing.Not to mention that the Chen family was on the cusp, even during the Great Court Meeting, Zhang Fangping didn't like to see Chen Qi.

Zhang Fangping thought, when the limelight of this matter has passed, he can be regarded as an explanation to his old friend by checking out the official's tone and saying hello to the lord of the Chengdu Mansion.

Zhao Xi has even forgotten the name.At this time, Zhao Xi was meeting with his son in private.

The crown prince came to Beijing to participate in the grand court meeting as the magistrate of Yizhou. Except for a few people, no one knew that this Zhao Chengtian was the current crown prince.

"Shu'er, what do you think of the Land Occupation Tax Increase Law?"

"Father, although it is said that there is no king's land in the whole world, in fact, the land of all dynasties does not really belong to the royal family. My son thinks that Wang Ge's proposal is correct, but my son also knows that this cannot be passed."

"How to solve it, does Shu'er care?"

"Daddy, the baby is in Yizhou, which is the first stop of the Dali Mining City when it entered the Kingdom. The frequent contacts with the mining city have also promoted the development of Yizhou's commerce. Other livelihoods are also common."

"During administration, Hai'er discovered that the cultivated land, which was not taxed before, was occupied and paid commercial taxes to the court, which did not cause any harm. At the same time, Hai'er felt that what Wang Ge said made sense. The difference, Hai'er couldn't sort out for a while. .”

Well, not bad, my son knows how to think.

"Shu'er, this is dialectics. Everything has pros and cons. Governance is actually a process of finding a balance. The balance between the court and the local government, the courtiers and the royal family, the king and his ministers, the common people and the scholars. The balance between income and expenditure, etc. These balance points are not static, the so-called change is eternal, and governance needs to find the most suitable balance point in different situations.”

What is happening now is that Wang Anshi wants to break this temporary balance, and wants to use the future balance point to measure the current state.Even Zhao Xi was at a loss for a moment.

"Officials, Captain Gao is asking to see..."

Wang Zhongzheng also hesitated for a while before coming in to report.He also didn't want to disturb the meeting between the officials and the prince, but Taiwei Gao was in a hurry, as if the matter was urgent.

"Daddy, the child has returned to the posthouse."
