The service is returned to the land, the land is measured, and the money is paid for the service.
Li Chao's apportionment into the mu is completely different from the rent modulation of the imperial court.
Even Cheng Bites Gold can see that Li Chao's paving into the mu is robbing the rich and helping the poor.
Li Chao's move is actually to abolish the poll tax since the Qin and Han dynasties.
The abolition of the poll tax is actually a relaxation of personal control over the peasants.
The Tang Dynasty could not carry out the sheep cannibalism movement, and it wanted to develop industry and commerce, and the rent modulation of the imperial court was actually the biggest obstacle.
The regulation of rents, combined with the equalization of land, is an attempt to tie all the peasants to the land.
Abolish the Ding tax, that is, abolish the poll tax, and if the people do not have land, they do not have to bear the land tax.
Then the people don't need to be hidden households, and they don't have to rely on those powerful landlords.
Taxation and collection of money can adapt to the rapid development of the commodity economy, promote the commercialization of agriculture, and even promote the budding of capitalism.
Li Chao also plans to wait for the apportionment to enter the next stage, and then the imperial court will no longer directly collect in kind, but directly collect money or money.
"Then will the imperial court still implement the uniform field system in the future?"
Li Chao thought about it, after all, it was difficult for the Juntian system to adapt to the development of Datang.
The advent of the Juntian system coincided with the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, when wars were frequent, resulting in a sharp decline in population and barren fields.
As a result, the imperial court implemented the law of equalizing land, distributing the vacant land to the people, and then leviing rents to adjust the income, so that production was restored and the income of the imperial court was increased.
But now in the era of unification, the population will no longer decline sharply, but will only increase.
However, there are still so many fields, even if the Tang Dynasty expands the land, it is impossible to keep up with the growth of population and the speed of land annexation.
Land annexation is very powerful, even if the imperial court implements the equalization system, it will have no impact on the annexation.
The increase in population and the intensification of land annexation will eventually only leave more and more people without land to divide, and the equalization of land will inevitably collapse, and even the government soldiers will find it difficult to distribute military land, which will inevitably lead to the collapse of the government and military system.
If he does not have a field, it is difficult for him to buy his own equipment, and he has no spare time to hire someone to help him cultivate the land when he is training and fighting.
There is no land, but you still have to pay rent to the imperial court, and you have to serve the imperial court and fight, in the end, the people will inevitably not survive, and the army has no combat effectiveness.
Li Chao is not opposed to land annexation.
However, the premise of allowing land annexation is to strike the law of rent and mediocrity, implement a new two-tax law, apportionment of land to mu, and a whip law, and return to the land and apportionment of land to mu.
The people did not have heavy taxes and servitudes, so even if they did not farm, they had other options.
For example, they can give landlords like Li Chao tenant land, as tenants, as long as they pay rent to the landlord Li Chao, and they don't have to pay taxes to the imperial court.
The people who lost their land can also go to work for Li Chao in the workshop, directly take Li Chao's salary, and support their families with the salary, and they don't have to pay land taxes to the imperial court.
"Don't suppress mergers" Cheng Yanjin was surprised.
Since the Han Dynasty, the imperial court has been heavy on agriculture and suppressed commerce, and it was against land annexation.
But Li Chao is now saying that he will not suppress the merger.
"Yes, not annexation.
As long as the people no longer need to bear the burden of rent and mediocrity, then even if the annexation is serious, what does it matter that the imperial court will no longer focus on the Ding tax, but on the property and acres, then the nobles, officials, and landlords will have to pay taxes, and even if they annex more fields, they will not be exempt from taxes or only pay a very small amount of taxes as before. ” "For the imperial court, taxing a hundred peasants was no different from taxing a landlord.
The amount of taxes has not changed, and the imperial court has not lost. ” The Song Dynasty also did not suppress annexation, and there was a big reason why the Song economy could prosper, that is, the Song Dynasty also implemented the two tax laws implemented after the Tang Dynasty.
Cheng Yanjin felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and these new statements were so novel.
"Could it be that the imperial court will allow me to annex land at will in the future?"
"The premise is that you can buy so much land, not to suppress annexation, and not to let you take advantage of it, if you want to buy land, people must be willing to sell it, normal buying and selling transactions, why should the imperial court prohibit it.
If you buy land, you will buy the tax of the land, and the tax of the land will be taught to you in the future. ” In the past, bureaucratic and aristocratic landlords often had the privilege of exemption from taxes, so the more land they annexed, it did not mean that they paid more taxes, and often their taxes had an upper limit, and perhaps 1,000 mu of land was only 100 mu of tax, and 10,000 mu was also 100 mu.
In this case, the more land the landlords annexed, the greater the loss of the imperial court.
The landless peasants have no land, but the tax on their heads has not changed.
It means that these people have no land, but they are still paying taxes for the landlords who have annexed the land.
The landless peasants often became poor and had no money, and it became difficult for the court to tax them.
The court did not collect the taxes of the rich, but levied taxes on the poor, which was the most prominent in the late Ming Dynasty.
In the end, the inevitable affirmation will have to be rebelled.
"The imperial court does not suppress annexation, but can also levy deed tax, such as stipulating that land transactions must be deed, and the government levies a deed tax of 5% or more according to the transaction amount for each transaction.
In this way, every time the land is transferred and traded, the imperial court not only does not lose money, but also earns a deed tax. ” The premise of not suppressing annexation is that in the future, the land will be apportioned into the mu and the tax will be levied according to the acreage, and the nobles, bureaucrats, and landlords will not have the privilege of tax exemption.
"It's really possible to make it possible for everyone to pay taxes" "What's not to be able to do, isn't the two taxes we implemented before just to make everyone pay taxes?"

Historically, when the two tax laws were officially implemented, it was already in the Middle Tang Dynasty, when the imperial court was extremely weak and the feudal towns were divided, but the imperial court made everyone pay taxes.
At this time, it was the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and the prestige of the imperial court was flourishing.
At this time, it is not impossible to implement a new law that allows everyone to pay taxes.
As long as the imperial court has this determination, with the will of the emperor and the strong strength of the imperial court, it can still be carried out in the end.
Now is not the late Ming Dynasty, at that time the country was decaying, and whatever policies the imperial court wanted to implement, it was difficult for the government decree to be smooth, and it would even be opposed by the people below and could not be implemented.
However, in the early Tang Dynasty, such a thing could not have happened.
"However, this new law has hurt the interests of many nobles, landlords and bureaucrats."
But this new law is of great benefit to the imperial court.
Moreover, the damage to the interests of the aristocratic landlords and bureaucrats was also within their scope of bearing.
Just like you, the court apportioned the acres into the mu, you pay more taxes, but the court will not suppress mergers in the future, you can buy more land to make money, and even the industry and commerce you operate can also have more hired workers, your life may be better than you used to, and you can earn more, do you have to desperately block the new law and compete with the court because you pay more taxes?"
Cheng Biting Jin pinched his chin, "I'm not that stupid." ” "That's the case, the landlords may lose some money, but they can get a lot of benefits if they don't suppress mergers and industrial and commercial development."
"After that, Junda is no longer available?"
"It is not necessary to divide the land, but instead it can be rented to the peasants, and then the tenant rent is collected, or it can be sold directly to private individuals.
Anyway, no matter what, the court will not lose. ” "Of course, the people will not lose, even if they don't equalize the land, don't they have to pay the tax to serve the Ding service?"
"It seems to make sense."
Cheng Yanjin sighed.
"Then do you think Your Majesty will agree to this new law?"
Li Chao shook his head, "This matter may not be smooth sailing, but I believe that as long as Your Majesty understands the relationship between this, it will definitely be adopted in the end."
After all, this new law, compared to the original one, is not a star and a half, it is a hundred times stronger. ” Changan.
The emperor personally conquered the Western Regions, and the army was transferred from all over the country, including the Beiya forbidden army in Beijing, and the soldiers from all over the country.
The imperial court also dispatched a lot of people to transport money, grain, and equipment.
Along the way, the army gathered soldiers and horses drawn from all over the country, and the march was not fast.
It was not until June that Li Shimin arrived in Chang'an.
Here, 100,000 soldiers and horses can be regarded as completely assembled.
The armies were reorganized here to form five corps.
Chang'an has now been reduced to a companion capital, called Xijing.
Li Shimin lived in the Taiji Palace in Chang'an, which was also the first time he stayed in the Taiji Palace since he succeeded to the throne.
Previously, he assured the Emperor Taishang that the Emperor Taishang would belong to the Taishang Emperor in one day, and he would always listen to the government in the East Palace.
However, now the Emperor Taishang is happy in the Daming Palace in Hanjing, and Li Shimin returned to Chang'an this time and stayed directly in the Taiji Palace.
After leaving Chang'an for a long time, the entire Chang'an seemed a lot more depressed.
Tens of thousands of court personnel, hundreds of officials and dependents of Chang'an, and tens of thousands of troops, as well as craftsmen, merchants, etc. in Chang'an City, the whole Chang'an seems extremely empty.
At this time, looking at the layout of Chang'an City, especially those square walls, the more I look, the more awkward I feel.
The tall square wall clamps the street, there are no windows, no courtyards, and even shops, how do you look like a large army fort.
There were hundreds of thousands of people less at once, and now the total population of Chang'an City is only more than 100,000.
A city that was originally designed to accommodate a million people is now inhabited by a tenth of the people.
Of the more than 100 squares, nearly half of them are empty, and the remaining half are only inhabited by very few people.
Many of the squares in the south of the city are now full of crops and vegetables, and there are even sheep and pigs.
The mansions in Zhufang, which are rich in the east and west, are not as lively as they used to be, and only a few old servants left by each family are left to guard them.
Even in the palace, there are only a few hundred old palace people and old servants left.
Without contrast, there is no difference.
"Hanjing is more lively, prosperous, and more convenient."
Li Shimin sighed.
Fang Xuanling next to him nodded.
"Now when I look at Chang'an, I suddenly find that Chang'an is really not suitable for the capital, and it is out of place everywhere."
The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile, "Now that Chang'an's population has plummeted by hundreds of thousands, there is no need to transfer grain from Kanto to the customs in the future."

Guanzhong and Shuofang, Suiyuan, Hexi, and Longyou are enough to be self-sufficient, and they no longer look up to the supply of Kanto. ” "This item saves countless manpower and material resources of the imperial court, and in the future, Guanzhong can slowly accumulate and store grain, and no longer a disaster will cause the entire Guanzhong people to eat in Guandong."
Li Shimin also sighed.
Guanzhong, which used to be the capital of the Qin and Han dynasties, is really no longer suitable as the capital of the Tang Dynasty. t1706231537:
