The next day, the State Administration of Taxation promulgated the simple rules for 'gentry to pay taxes', and at the same time strictly regulated the relationship between tenants and landlords, especially the rent, which was demarcated as a bottom line and room for floating.
At the same time, the cabinet and the Ministry of Household ordered Shuntianfu to take the lead in implementing it, and sent the decree directly to the hands of Shuntianfu Yin and Chen Qiyu.
Chen Qiyu has carefully studied this policy of the imperial court, and knows the importance of it, and he wants to complete it very much in his heart, but in the same way, the difficulties are also proportional.
In order to be able to smoothly implement this policy these days, he has collected the tax and grain smoothly, and it can be said that he has tried his best, but with little success.
The day before yesterday, he drank and vomited, but the patriarchs of the big families turned their faces in a blink of an eye, and the people he sent were politely poured wine and sent back, and nothing else was obtained.
Chen Qiyu and Chen Suowen sat opposite each other, and on the table were the edicts of the cabinet and the 'detailed rules for taxes and grains' of the State Administration of Taxation, the most important of which was the article 'gentry paying taxes', and there was also an entry of 'landlords and tenants', which would definitely hurt those gentry and big landlords.
"My lord, the next official has decided on some matters and regulations about this year's summer grain, you can take a look."
Chen said as he handed over a piece of text.
Chen Qiyu was worried about this matter for a month, looked at what Chen had heard, and took it over to look at it.
Looking at Chen Qiyu and frowning, what Chen heard and wrote was based on some plans of the 'New Deal', such as exploring the number of acres of land, estimating taxes and grains, secretly checking the population, etc., these are still preparing for summer grain, and later plan to register in Beizhili, measure the land, and so on.
Summer grain is already imminent, any action will stimulate those big landlords, squires, Chen Qiyu looked at it for a long time, and muttered, "If you say that there is half a year, you are still a good method, but now it is too late, if the prefects, counties and squires refuse to implement the new policies of the imperial court, the means you and I can use are very limited......"
Chen Suowen naturally knew it, but he said firmly on his face: "My lord, Wei Zhongxian has already gathered enough cavalry, if we can't finish it in advance and stop Wei Zhongxian from coming, once he intervenes, the consequences are unpredictable, and Shuntianfu may not be able to clean up that mess!"
” Chen Qiyu's brows have not been loosened recently, the so-called 'road is blocked and long', he has a deep understanding, there is no turning back when he opens the bow, whether it is the imperial court or the Shuntian Mansion, he can't retreat in the slightest!
"If you have to, you can only ......"
Before Chen Qiyu finished speaking, an errand officer hurriedly walked in, raised his hand to the two and said, "Two adults, Chen Gongzi asks to see you." ” "Chen Gongzi?"
Chen Qiyu was slightly stunned, this person he would not be able to think of for a while.
Chen was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What are you talking about among my sons?"
” The messenger said, "Yes, Chen Gongzi is asking to see you outside." ” Chen Qiyu will also understand, Chen Zilong, the son of Chen Suowen, is among the characters.
"Invite him in."
Chen Qiyu is still relatively tolerant of the younger generation, and often supports.
Chen Suowen's expression was slightly gloomy and he did not speak.
His son is very knowledgeable and characterful, but his personality is extremely stubborn, and he will not bow his head no matter how much others persuade him.
At first, he participated in the Ying Society, then the Restoration Society, and now he is engaged in something 'Bushi Academy', showing their high and bright style to the world, which caused a shock in the government and the opposition, and many adults have complained that if it were not for the fact that the imperial court had offended Shilin hard enough, Chen Zilong may not be stable until now.
Naturally, Chen Suowen's ability to serve as the governor of Shuntian Mansion is also a kind of compromise and goodwill from the imperial court.
Chen Zilong has a dignified appearance, elegant demeanor, and his every move is a model of a scholar.
In addition, he has outstanding talent and learning, and has a lot of prestige in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Although he had experienced the blow of the Restoration Society and had a slight setback, he was still in high spirits now, walked in, raised his hand with a smile and said, "Student Chen Zilong has seen Master Chen and seen his father. ” Chen Suowen didn't know that Chen Zilong was coming today, so he held up his father's majesty and said with a calm face: "This is the mansion, how can you come casually, if there is anything, go back and talk about it." ” Chen Qiyu was curious, and didn't stop him, just looked at Chen Zilong with a smile.
Chen Zilong got up and said loudly to Chen Suowen: "Father's words are bad, every move of the court is not related to the people of the world, even if the child can't contribute, he should always have some qualifications to speak." ” Chen felt bad when he heard the words, and just about to scold, Chen Qiyu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about these, being in the rivers and lakes can be excellent temples, it is commendable, why do you come today?"
” "Students come to relieve the worries of adults."
Chen Zilong held a folding fan in his hand, gently slapped it in his palm, and said with a calm smile.
Chen Suowen became more and more uneasy in his heart, and directly scolded: "Presumptuous!
Military affairs, how can you be allowed to intervene as a yellow child, go back immediately, and think about it behind closed doors!
” Chen Zilong was unmoved, and looked at Chen Qiyu with a smile.
Chen Qiyu was not in a hurry, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Tell me, what is this official worried about?"
” Chen Zilong shook the fan in his right hand and said categorically, "New Deal, tax reform, grain tax, 'gentry pay for grain'!"
” Chen Suowen's face was calm, and he kept signaling to Chen Zilong.
Chen Zilong kept looking at Chen Qiyu and ignored it.
Chen Qiyu's expression remained unchanged and said, "Tell me about it." ” Chen Zilong's expression showed a touch of excitement that could not be concealed, and he wanted to pace but held back, and said with a surging heart: "My lord, the reason why the imperial court requires 'gentry to pay grain' is nothing more than the emptiness of the treasury and disasters everywhere.
Students have six strategies, first, 'gentry tax' should be a short-term emergency law, not a long-term or permanent law.
Second, the squires contributed food to the court, and the court should also be rewarded to set an example for the world.
Third, the tax on one bucket per mu was too heavy, and the students thought that if it was reduced by half, it would be enough to help the imperial court cope with the disaster.
Fourth, the 'squire's tax payment' should be voluntary, not compulsory, and can be replaced by other methods, such as transporting grain to the border for the imperial court, etc., and so on, and the fifth ......"
"Presumptuous!"
Chen Suowen's face changed greatly, he stood up suddenly, and shouted in a deep voice: "Nonsense, nonsense!"
Who taught you this?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Who allowed you to be presumptuous in front of Fu Yin, shut up for me!
” Chen Zilong was interrupted before he finished speaking, looked at Chen Shuowen with some dissatisfaction, did not continue, and turned to Chen Qiyu with blazing eyes.
Chen Qiyu's expression also sank, Chen Zilong's words were not to relieve his worries, but to put pressure on him!
Chen Qiyu has already figured out that the imperial court wants to tax the gentry, in addition to the emptiness of the treasury and the response to the disaster, there is also the need to rectify the 'acre system' and govern the Ming Dynasty from the root, how can it be so simple to deal with the disaster!
This kind of thing is unspeakable!
Even if the courtiers see it through, they can only know each other, and they can't talk about it on the table!
Chen Qiyu was still looking forward to Chen Zilong, but now it seems that he is just a lobbyist for some people, so he shook his head secretly, and said with a flat face: "Well, the official has written it down, you can go." ” Chen Zilong is not a fool, he can naturally see Chen Qiyu's indifferent attitude, and said with a anxious expression: "My lord, these are the countermeasures that the students have thought hard about, which are beneficial to the court, the squire, and the people of the world, please think twice!"
” Chen Qiyu nodded slightly, and didn't want to talk to Chen Zilong anymore.
Chen Suo snorted coldly, stood up directly, pulled Chen Zilong's sleeve, and dragged him out.
Chu Zong walked in through the side door first, looked at Chen Zilong outside the house and 'theorized' with Chen, and couldn't help but say: "My lord, in fact, what Chen Gongzi said is not unreasonable, it's just ......
Anachronistic. ” Chen Qiyu nodded and sighed: "I am full of holes in the morning and need to be revitalized."
In the past, Donglin people wanted to 'take the world as their own responsibility' and 'Zhongxing Daming', but they rarely mentioned the difficulties faced by my Daming.
Some ideas and means seem to be very good, but they are not good methods, and even make the government more and more erosive, which is probably one of the reasons for the emperor's hatred. ” Chu Zong was the lord of Shuntian Mansion first, and he served in the household department before, listening to Chen Qiyu's words, he said with feeling, "Fu Shangshu once discussed with some waiters and Langzhong, I listened to a few sentences, one of which was said by the lower officials that it was very reasonable, and what he said was 'reasonable, reasonable and unrealistic', the princes of Donglin are all noble people, not from farming, do not know the people's feelings, and seem to be far-sighted, but in fact, they are in the sky, and the pavilions in the air are ......"
Chen Qiyu was just about to speak, when an errand officer hurriedly ran in and said, "Report to your lord, Dongchang has sent someone." ” Chen Qiyu and Chu Zongxian's faces changed slightly, and they glanced at each other, but they both kept their faces calm and did not speak.
The emperor has left Beijing, and Wei Zhongxian, who holds great power, has almost no restraints in the capital, and is a very, very dangerous figure.
What's the conspiracy?
