Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

In order to fulfill the promise, but also out of fear of "orthodoxy".

The wealthy gentry in the south of the Yangtze River made a plan to contain Zhu Youjian, wait for Dorgon to deal with Li Zicheng, and then join forces with the Qing Dynasty to kill Zhu Youjian.

Dorgon's letter has arrived, and the gentry group is on the move!

For a time, all places in the south of the Yangtze River, which had complained a few days ago that there was no money in the treasury and could not collect taxes, all sent tax money to Nanjing.

In just half a month, the amount of silver transported to the Nanjing warehouse exceeded 300 million taels...

And before...

Zhu Yousong was so poor that he couldn't even afford 10 taels of silver.

Yan Lixin: "A Comparative Study on the Gains and Losses of Tax Policies in the Qing Dynasty and the Hongguang Dynasty" clearly stated that after studying the memorials to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household in the Hongguang Dynasty, he came to this sentence:

In November 1644, Emperor Hongguang’s treasury——

Only a thousand and a few taels of silver!

The military salary that needs to be paid is as high as 220 million Yuqi in a single month.

……

In fact, because the military pay could not be paid, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo successively looted various places...

Is it because Jiangnan has no money?

No!

Taxes for that year were collected as usual.

The money is stuck somewhere!

And the people who are stuck in them are the officials and the gentry class!

In other words, they are the people who filled Hongguang’s court!

If these big guys who are in charge of government affairs are not stuck in the local tax bank...

Soldiers looting places, such tragedies would never happen.

Such a bunch of bastards, after receiving Dorgon's reply, they immediately sent the stuck tax money to Nanjing!

This is Donglin and Fushe, whose reputation has been passed down forever!

This was also done in history, but the difference was that in the end, the tax money paid to Nanjing was not so much.

……

In Zhu Yousong’s edict on his accession to the throne, Zhu Youjian clearly stated that Zhu Youjian would provide various tax exemptions, exemptions, and exemptions (juan). He still admitted that these places would still enjoy either full exemption, half exemption, or old debts. There is no tax liability, or exemption for three years, or exemption for five years... tax benefits.

At the same time, it was announced that the Liao rate among the three rates would be abolished.

A few days later, Zhu Yousong issued another decree to abolish the training salary.

In other words, at the highest central level, all that is left of the three salaries is the salary for suppressing peasant uprisings.

This is what Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang Emperor who was labeled as "faint and incompetent", did!

Does it subvert cognition?

What Zhu Yousong did was exactly what a wise king should do!

However, the actual situation is that - the bureaucratic groups such as Donglin and Fushe, the official and gentry groups, who have taken over the power of the government, represent the "public opinion", and shout that they are "gentlemen"... have been exposed!

Taxation of the people continues as usual.

The emperor above reduced taxes…

Next...people should pay as much as they should pay!

Officials are "upright" and not "the son of King Fu", so who cares what Zhu Yousong said...

Isn't it ridiculous?

However, throughout history, such situations abound!

From ancient times to the present, books have always existed and will never be discontinued...

The year of the great flood...

Mr. Zhu, that’s great, he exempted us from taxes in the disaster area.

What a wonderful thing!

There are ordinary people in the eyes of those above!

is not it?

The country cares about us ordinary people!

However, the microphone is a human being, not a machine...

My family was even forced to take out a loan and pay taxes!

In the name of taking out a loan to build a house, they are using it to prepay taxes for the coming year!

For this reason, there was a high degree of unity back then!

Whether we are on the southwestern side of Henan or on the Huaihe River side, this is the same routine.

(This incident was filmed in "Into the Bali Fort")

This is still modern, let alone ancient times!

……

This is the top and bottom, but what about the money in the middle?

Ha ha……

There was a big flood of prepayment of taxes at j point ft, but nothing happened.

Tax money is used to line private pockets and is not included in the national treasury——

What do you think this group of more powerful "public righteousness" bureaucracies in North Korea will do?

Give money to Zhu Yousong?

I want to eat fart!

Then why do we risk being dismissed from office to get on the court's neck?

Return it to the people?

piss off!

Then why do we have to work so hard to collect it!

……

Isn't it nice for her to have a few famous prostitutes in her pocket?

……

As mentioned earlier, the central government's official tax in the Ming Dynasty was about thirty taxes per yen, and one acre of land was equivalent to five pounds, two liang, one cent and nine cents of grain.

After adding three rates, at the peak period, the total tax paid per mu of land was 7.982 kilograms of grain.

This is the regular tax. In addition, there are autumn taxes, human taxes, corvee, etc., not to mention these central taxes.

As for the various local miscellaneous taxes...

To be honest, we can't just knock down a whole boatload of people just because someone is corrupt and bending the law, right?

You can't use a certain period of time to generalize, right?

When studying history, double standards are the worst thing to avoid!

Yesterday I chatted with a deputy director of the Commission for Discipline Inspection in Jiangsu. He is also a historical author. He told me that the taxes in the Qing Dynasty were very light, while the taxes in the Ming Dynasty were very heavy. The Song Dynasty was pinned to the ground by Annan and hammered. He asked me to write about the Song Dynasty in my next book... …

I was puzzled. Taxation in the Qing Dynasty was calculated according to the standards of the Wanli period.

Moreover, the so-called abolition of the three rates was not only not abolished, but the Liao rates were also included in the regular tax.

It's the infamous and most quoted one - "Nine cents of silver per mu" in the late Ming Dynasty. (Units of weight: kilograms, liang, money, cents, centimeters. One centimeter is equal to one thousandth of a tael.)

This thing has changed from a "temporary tax" to a regular tax!

This is the Qing Dynasty tax!

But I don’t know what this so-called lightness is?

Of course, some people want to point out Yongzheng's "dividing a small family into an area" that was implemented for a total of more than ten years...

Oh, you don’t even understand the definition, so you’re here to bark?

Ding tax: The Ding tax has been levied since the Spring and Autumn Period of Qi State's "Registering Households and Eliminating the People"!

According to the usual practice, the number of people is not counted, only the number of people is counted!

Ding: A male between 16 and 60 years old. This is why he gave birth to a son named Tian Ding.

Mouth: Adult non-young women, usually 13-60 years old. This is why a daughter is called an import.

Dingkou is the method used to count the population since the reform of the Qing Dynasty.

In other words - children who have not grown up and the elderly who have lost the ability to work are not included in the calculation.

These young people will be levied a "ding tax".

That is the poll tax.

The so-called "dining tax" is to add the "ding tax" collected separately to the land tax!

Essentially it is just a total of taxes.

Dividing a small amount into an acre does not cancel the small tax!

Forget it, as soon as Qianlong came to power, it was abolished. Not only was the "Ding tax" added to the land tax not deducted, but the Ding tax was re-imposed!

In other words, Ding paid the tax twice.

There were three rates in the late Ming Dynasty. This is a fact!

Those who say that taxes in the Qing Dynasty were low would never dare to mention the late Qing Dynasty - since 1840, the Qing Dynasty has been changing the types of taxes. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there was only one tax card for ten miles!
