[comprehensive] mother instrument world

"I heard that Xiuxiu, you are doing business with those women recently?" Zhu Yuanzhang came back from the outside and saw Shu Yun reading the account book. She didn't use abacus, paper and pen. The result came out, and Zhu Yuanzhang was very envious of Shu Yun's skill. Unfortunately, none of the officials below had this skill. They only said that this kind of mental arithmetic is a talent, not something ordinary people can learn, so they had to give up in the end.

Shu Yun put down the account book, and then said: "It's not that I want them to do business. In fact, I just think that every family has surplus money in their hands. When they have money, they just buy land and property. Because of the war, the population is small, even if each family buys more fields, it will not affect the distribution of the fields below, but as time goes by, the situation will be different! Ordinary people, under normal circumstances, cannot bear the slightest risk. Regardless of whether it is natural disasters or man-made disasters, they can easily lose the land they rely on for survival. Even if they are lucky and do not encounter any natural or man-made disasters, it is common for ordinary families to have three or five children. As for the equal distribution among the sons, it will also be divided more and less. Ordinary families have less and less land, but wealthy and powerful families have various means to increase their own land..."

Before Shu Yun finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang understood, and immediately said: "Xiuxiu means that the land needs to be restricted?" There is an upper limit of land property.

Shu Yun was a little dumbfounded, and quickly said: "It's unnecessary. The reason why everyone likes to buy land is that the land doesn't seem to make much money, but it's very stable! The most important thing is that they have so much money in their hands. , There is no place to spend it at all, what else can they do except buy land? If their money has somewhere to invest, and the income from fertile land is not as good as they expected, they will naturally not have nothing to do to buy land!"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was still at a loss, Shu Yun simply explained to him some of the benefits here. To be precise, if it is not for large-scale planting, the yield of farming is actually very low. Farmers, in times of disaster, it may not be enough to spend all the money saved in good years to buy food!But it’s different for those big landowners who spend thousands of hectares or even more. Even if the income per mu of land is not high, but when the multiple is relatively high, the annual income is also very considerable. They can take it out again and buy land at a low price during the disaster year. Their land will become more and more, and they will become richer and richer!

This is also a reincarnation that cannot be cracked in the agricultural era. That is, the Song Dynasty did a little better. The refugees who lost their land were absorbed into the Xiang Army and were supported by the state. Although it was a heavy burden on the state's finances, it greatly reduced the number of stabilizing factor.The development of handicrafts and commerce has also allowed more people to earn a living without relying on land. Of course, there is a limit to this.After entering the industrial age, it will be different. A large number of people will be absorbed by the industry. When the money earned by working is much better than farming, everyone will naturally weigh the interests. Many people will naturally not farm. Instead, he wants to enter various factories to make a living!And if there are not enough tenants, what is the use of those landlords having so much land when mechanized agricultural production has not yet prevailed?They can only reduce rents and interest rates in order to retain some tenants. In addition, they will also reduce their land holdings and invest in industry and commerce instead. This actually forms a virtuous circle!

Zhu Yuanzhang listened very attentively. To those who only knew about the rule of three generations but never gave a specific solution, although Shu Yun only drew a blueprint, he knew that it was feasible after thinking about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang does attach importance to agriculture, but farmers who have lost their land should not be tied to the land just because they attach importance to agriculture. This is not for their benefit, but for their harm!Of course, the most important thing is that Shu Yun has already made achievements. Although most of Yingtian's workshops today are textiles, there are actually very few others, but this is already very important for Yingtian's financial income. Great support.The most primary agricultural products are the least valuable, and only by reprocessing them can higher profits be obtained.

However, after thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that what he said before is estimated to be realized after many years. Therefore, at the beginning, land mergers should be suppressed, so the land must be restricted.

After thinking about it for a while, Shu Yun suddenly thought of the personal tax of later generations, and said with a smile: "I have an idea, this matter has to be dealt with from the taxation point! Now the taxation is very messy, and when the world is settled down, the final It’s better to divide the land into acres, that is, the head tax is also included in the land tax, and no additional head tax is levied! Then, the tax is levied according to the amount of land. If the land is small, you only need to pay the lowest level of tax. , take the household as the unit, and when the amount of land of a family reaches a certain level, the proportion of taxation must be increased. Prevent someone from owning too much land! In addition, the tax-free privileges of officials and scholars on land must also be stipulated, so as to avoid tax avoidance, everyone will do something to donate!"

"Good idea, um, officials and scholars of all ranks can have different tax exemption quotas, um, I have to think about it later!" Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more excited. They immediately became excited.In fact, he wished that officials and scholars would not have this privilege, but there is no benefit at all. Why do people want to be an official?If this is the case, the people below are afraid that they will jump up and rebel immediately!

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Shu Yun's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "Actually, there is another workaround, that is, the tax will be collected as usual, but tax refunds will be given to these officials or scholars every year! Calculate how much you can collect per mu of land." Tax money, and then return it to them together with the salary at the end of the year, so it looks good, and it also saves someone from doing something in private, engaging in hidden fields and the like."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, this sounds very good, although the specific details need to be discussed, but first receive the money, and later if these people make any mistakes, they will be fined, and they can be fined more!

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't feel that there was anything petty in his thinking at all. After thinking about it in his heart, he decided to set this quota system later.Some systems don't take advantage of the fact that they are fixed at the beginning, and wait until later, but it is not so easy!Anyway, everyone doesn't have much land now, so hurry up to finalize it at this time to save trouble.
