The Xie family is rich in Jiangnan, with half of the family property, which is also a very impressive figure.
Not counting antiques, curios, gold and silver and other property.
In terms of land alone, the number of acres exceeds one million acres.
In particular, this is a field in the south of the Yangtze River.
The yield of the fields in the north is the highest.
In terms of yield, one acre of land can produce more than three acres.
When Yang Chengzu presented the details of this part of the land to the Bu Zhili Yamen, Nan Zhili Bu Zhengrao, a second-rank official, was frightened by the numbers above.
Although Southern Zhili is prosperous, due to less and less public land and more and more tax-free land, the overall tax revenue is still on the decline.
At least the part turned over to the court is decreasing year by year.
For a property as large as the Xie family, not many people actually pay taxes.
Even if someone kills the Xie family, it is just a change of ownership of the land and it is impossible to use it to pay taxes.
Except for part of Yang Chengzu's own name, most of Yang Chengzu's land was imperial estates.
These imperial lands were turned over and rewarded to the officers and soldiers of the new army, making them tenant farmers of the emperor.
The other part is used as a source of salary for the new army.
This was agreed upon above.
The chief executive can't say anything, but he doesn't understand.
Since it has nothing to do with him, he should take the land deed to his own government office.
For what again?
Military fields in the Ming Dynasty also had to pay taxes, and the tax amount was higher than civilian fields.
However, no one in the administrative office thought about collecting taxes on these fields.
It is certainly a good thing to receive taxes, but it would not be smart enough to offend this powerful official in order to collect taxes.
Most of the taxes collected are also given to the court.
Why bother if you offend someone?
There is no need to offend someone who kills a whole family at every turn and chops off thousands of heads without blinking an eye.
Li Chenggong, the governor of Southern Zhili, looked at the land deeds with some hesitation, "What does this mean?"
"It's nothing, it's just for filing."
Yang Chengzu raised his hands to several people from the government office.
"It's the end of the new year, but I have to make everyone work hard.
I'm sorry.
I'll open a running banquet at Yangji Restaurant for three days to reward you.
I must Come and enjoy the glory.
But please be more careful and keep these accounts to avoid problems in the future."
"It has become normal for the imperial dynasty to invade and occupy military fields.
The soldiers of the Forty-nine Guards in Nanjing have had their fields taken away.
I don't need to say more.
In order to prevent the new army officers and soldiers from losing their fields in the future, On this road, in order to prevent the harvest of the royal farm from being invaded by the local government, I specifically asked Long Live for help.
Imperial decree: All new army officers and soldiers are prohibited from buying and selling their land.
Those who sell their land will be whipped forty times, and those who buy their land will have their land rent paid in grain.
I, Yang Ji, will pay the tax on my behalf.
I will settle the tax collection with Yang Ji.
However, although this system is good, it is in vain without the supervision of the Yamen.
A large part of the military land occupied by the guards could not pay rent, so they had to borrow money.
The debts they borrowed could not be repaid, and in the end they had to sell the land, so the military land became civilian land.
Soldiers without land will eventually become deserters or beggars, and their combat effectiveness will be lost.
The New Army is still generally positive now, and everyone is in a situation where they are ready to die.

However, in order to avoid becoming a military guard in the future, they have to take precautions.
All the taxes that should be paid were paid by Yang Ji.
Except for the new army's own food, all the food had to be sold to Yang Ji.
When they encounter difficulties, Yang Ji is responsible for lending them money.
Through these means, it not only ensures that they will not survive without land, but also ensures that they are bound to the land and do not become refugees or handicraft producers.
In addition to this part of the land rent, the tenants who were originally sheltered by the Xie family also did not perform corvee service and did not pay service fees.
Because of the various benefits of donating, donating has become popular among the private sector, and the government can collect less and less tax.
Now Yang Ji controlled a large amount of land under his name, and he also had a large number of tenant farmers and farm laborers who were personally attached to him.
Yang Chengzu had already made a list of these people and brought them over.
"These people cannot afford to pay the corvee, but Yang Ji will pay for them.
Starting next year, I will arrange for someone to pay.
If anyone dares to resist the tax, he will be treated according to the law."
Li Chenggong smiled and shook his head and said: "Tishuai, it doesn't have to be like this.
Now you are not the only one who doesn't pay taxes.
Some people are just civil servants and have thousands of acres of land, so that their own people can't bear the corvee.
This kind of thing It’s not that the government doesn’t know, it’s that they can’t control it.
Compared with them, Tishuai really doesn’t have to pay taxes, so there’s no need to pay.”
"The kind of thing Li Fangbo said has been heard by lower officials.
Some people dare to take the lead in resisting rent because of their fame.
It is precisely because of this long-standing disadvantage that Su Song owes millions of dan in taxes and grain.
It is tolerable, but what is unacceptable?
Among the errands undertaken by the forbearance official, there is no collection and tax collection, so it is not easy to cross.
I am an agent, but the property under the official's name must be the first to pay taxes.
Others can break this rule, but I can't.
Just keep it.
After the New Year, I will send someone to pay the money.
For all businesses in the city, if anyone dares not to pay taxes, Uncle Fang will just order them to be arrested. " Not long after he left the Buzheng Yamen, these remarks and actions spread throughout Southern Zhili.
There are still many smart people in the southeast.
Once these words and actions are analyzed, some people will guess that his actions are probably to attack the taxation department.
The rich and powerful families in the southeast have always had a fine tradition of resisting taxes.
The tax farming system implemented in the Yuan Dynasty made most of these famous families become tax farmers.
Through this identity, the family has amassed a huge amount of wealth and a large amount of industry.
Common people who cannot pay taxes have to sell their fields to these landlords and wealthy gentry.
In another time and space, the so-called sprouting of capitalism in the Ming Dynasty was actually largely due to the fact that farmers lost their land and had no choice but to go to the cities to find ways, and then things like hired workers appeared.
Those big families don't want to force people to rebel.
They will give these people a way to survive and give them a bite to eat.
All they want is fields.
After all, to them, no matter whether it is gold, silver, treasures or antiques, they are not as good as The fields are reliable.
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, their lives were not greatly affected.
Since Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces were major in imperial examinations, more than half of the imperial officials were from the south.
They were either from famous families, or were related to these big families, and they always spoke for these big families in the court.
When the imperial court needed to collect more money, grain, and taxes, most of these people would come out to plead grievances for their hometowns, tell them about their hardships, and hope that the emperor would reduce or reduce taxes on their hometowns.
When enough high-ranking officials come out in this way and create pressure from public opinion, even the emperor has to consider the people's hearts, and in the end he can only let it go.
Even if you insist on implementing it, it is often blocked by the people below, and it is not easy to collect money.
For the wealthy families in the southeast, they have become accustomed to not paying taxes, or paying less taxes.

For example, if Yang Chengzu's sea trade harmed the interests of some people, if he really wanted to collect taxes, it would almost infringe on the interests of everyone.
If this thing is really done, there may be new troubles in the south that has just calmed down.
However, Yang Chengzu has not started to do it.
At most, it is still in a state of speculation.
It would be too immature to fight someone to the death simply because of a guess.
If this person is still a favorite of the emperor, he must be handled with even greater caution.
The Xie family's blood has not yet dried, and no one is willing to step into a sure-kill trap and die.
After some simple consultations, several leading figures in the southeast reached a consensus that they could not afford to offend him and could not be aggressive with him.
Since we don’t want him to cause trouble in the Southeast, it’s better to talk nicely and send people out of the Southeast so that he can leave the country as soon as possible.
On the other hand, they reached into his inner house and started to cause trouble in his inner house using traditional but effective means
