I became the son of Renzong

"In addition, a separate tax rate can be calculated for the newly reclaimed cultivated land, and it can even be said that a complete tax exemption can be set for the newly added land."

"Officials and veterans think that the conditions for completely exempting the agricultural tax are immature. It's not that the conditions for the imperial court's taxation are immature, but the environment of the court is immature."

What Fu Bi said was the truth, and this was also what Zhao Xi considered.

"Forget it. Fu Xiang, how about I hand over this matter to the cabinet? Formulate a detailed, regional, and operable agricultural tax reduction and exemption policy."

"Although I have seen the fact that there is a trade in slaves, or in other words, human trafficking in the country. I think that it can be done if the law does not prohibit it. As long as the court does not issue a decree restricting the sale of slaves from other countries, so be it..."

It's an exchange.Zhao Xi and Fu Bi expressed an obvious exchange intention.

In other words, the imperial court delayed the promulgation of the ban on the sale of Dingkou in exchange for the approval of the gentry class for the transformation of the agricultural tax.

There is no way, Zhao Xi's power may be able to force the court to issue a decree of no agricultural tax, Zhao Xi is sure that the entire court and even local government officials will increase a lot of necessary expenditures out of thin air in the coming year...

"Do you understand?"

Fu Bi left, and Zhao Xi saw that his son was still in deep thought...~

"Going back to Dad, I don't understand the reason why the policy of no taxation for farmers cannot be implemented at the moment, but I don't understand why Dad referred this matter to the cabinet."

In the eyes of the prince, whether it is the father of the official family or himself as the prince, being able to initiate the reduction of agricultural taxes is a matter for all families to become Buddhas.I don't understand why Dad ordered the cabinet to handle it.

To be honest, the prince really wants to propose it himself.

"Son, no matter who initiates the policy, as long as it is promulgated by the court, the people will be grateful to the royal family."

"In addition, Fu Bi needs to give his father an explanation for the reduction and exemption of agricultural taxes. He knows the ultimate goal of his father."

"This degree requires a balance between the father's ideas and the interests of the gentry class, and needs to be acceptable. What the father said in the end is to provide Fu Bi with a basis to persuade the ministers."

The prince's governance is quite satisfactory, or in other words, it is okay to be upright, but as a king, the prince is less black-bellied.

This is also the period when the crown prince left the palace to practice, and it coincides with the fresh period of the country's system reform, and all officials have not yet behaved like that.

Although he has also experienced grassroots politics, he is somewhat lacking in conspiracy and tricks.

"Father is saying that because Fu Xiang accompanied Daddy on a private visit, he can use this as a basis to persuade the ministers to compromise on the grounds that the imperial court prohibits the sale of slaves from other countries?"

"Nowadays, the sale of new industrial technologies in the workshop city is imminent, and the demand for hired labor is strong. Once the imperial court prohibits the sale of foreigners, it will inevitably affect the production of various industrial technologies after the sale."

"In this way, the ministers and workers will calculate the gains and losses between the prohibition of selling foreigners and the reduction of agricultural tax, so as to promote the policy of agricultural tax reduction?"

The prince couldn't believe it.Just because he's not black-bellied doesn't mean he's not smart.Having said this, he has figured it out.

It’s okay, Zhao Xi nodded, agreeing.

"Son, the king is not a petty official. He doesn't need to do everything. It's the king's right to use his servants. It's the king's right to take the blame."

"Looking back at the implementation of various policies since my father came to the throne, what did you do for your father?"

"Being a king, even if you have a clear goal, you have to use the hands of your ministers to achieve it. The key lies in how you plan and how to bring your own thoughts into it without leaving a trace when mediating disputes between ministers and workers."

"A king doesn't need to please anyone, even if there are, they are still his subjects...~This is a broad definition. Therefore, being a king should pay more attention to results..."

Looking at the traces of the prince's handling of government affairs and his thinking tendency, Zhao Xi felt that he had to tell his son: A king needs a black belly.

Chapter 800 Share some for Fu Bi

As the new year approaches, there should be very few court affairs, but this year is extremely lively.

Workshop City is ready to sell new industrial technologies... The profitability of Workshop City's products has been verified by Guochao.

Therefore, for a while, everyone in Bianliang was talking about another sale of the workshop city.

For grassroots, although this kind of selling has nothing to do with me, it is quite enjoyable to talk about.

"I heard that this year's auction, the imperial court does not restrict the participation of Tibetans and party members, and even the barbarians in the southwest can sell..."

"It should be! Regardless of whether Tubo or the Dangxiang National People's Congress territory, it is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and they have all been rewarded by the court..."

"However, I have heard that after the people of the Song Dynasty sell the craft, they can set up factories in the northwest and southwest. If the people of Tubo and Dangxiang sell the craftsmanship, they are not allowed to build factories in the Yinxia area...~"

"What did you hear? I heard that it's all in the newspaper! Although Tubo and the party members can't go back to the northwest to set up factories, they demand that the local prefectures and counties of the country not refuse to cooperate..."

"The key point is that the imperial court did not prohibit any workshop from using party members, Tubo or even barbarians in the southwest."

"China is barbarian and Di, and barbarians are barbarians; barbarians are Chinese, and barbarians are Chinese... Don't say anything about Dangxiang and Tubo, they are all the people of our Great Song Dynasty!"

The Song Dynasty is tolerant, even if it has been hostile for decades, after the unification into the Song Dynasty, the people of Bianliang agreed.

This is also because the foreigners living in Bianliang are very generous.

As for the newspaper, some party items and Tubo customs are published from time to time, and some foreign writers are even invited.

This is the guidance of the imperial court!

In Zhao Xi's mind, there is no such thing as a foreign race in the newly recovered territory.

For the imperial court, these aids were needed to govern the appeasement of the new frontier.

Let the nobles of the foreign race have a sense of belonging, let the people of the foreign race have a sense of belonging, and let the so-called foreign race truly become the people of the Great Song Dynasty, which is the real recovery.

The sale of the workshop city is already a hot topic in Bianliang, and people are looking forward to this gluttonous feast in the business circles of the Kingdom...~

On a certain day, "Shi Lun" published the news that the imperial court was discussing a substantial reduction in agricultural taxes...

This is no longer a matter limited to wealthy families, it is closely related to all people in the entire country.

In terms of agricultural tax, this dynasty mainly followed the two tax laws of the previous dynasty.

In the early years, for the collection of the two taxes, it was generally collected in kind according to the old rules, roughly one bucket per mu per year.

At that time, there were both "thirty and one tax" and "twenty and one tax", and more than half of the land of the gentry did not pay tax.

Therefore, most of the burden of rent and tax falls on the bottom-level people who have no power or power.

Because the two taxes are collected in kind, there are so-called "branches" and "transformations".

What is branch transfer? That is, when the households paid in kind, the imperial court, in line with the idea of ​​"making up for the shortage with surplus", tried its best to let the households not pay locally, but to pay them to the army stationed on the northern border. place, so it is called a branch.

The collection of the two taxes is generally collected in kind, but it is not static.Instead, sometimes you have to "make money with wheat", and sometimes you have to "make silk with money", etc., which is called change.

The change itself not only tormented the common people, but more importantly, the officials who handled the change took advantage of the generation difference in the process of the change, and made a lot of profits by speculating.

After Zhao Xi ascended the throne, he borrowed a tax compilation law from the later Ming Dynasty, coupled with the talents of Wang Anshi and his son, it has changed the tax burden to a certain extent.

However, at the beginning, the commercial tax of the Guochao only accounted for [-]% to [-]% of the tax revenue of the entire court, and the disadvantages of the three redundancy of the Guochao have not been completely resolved.Zhao Xi did not dare to make major adjustments.
