Zheng Lang thought that when people were not satisfied, so he set a floating before implementing it first. When implementing it, the powerful people were dissatisfied, argued, and quarreled. It doesn’t matter. You can make a step back in this floating standard, just like buying something, bargaining, and paying a little after paying a little, the customer will feel satisfied. If he refuses to give in a penny, the brand will have the qualifications, but compared with these powerful people, the court may not be a big brand that allows them to give in completely.

Even psychology is used.

It seems that the effect is also good, and it has been implemented one after another, and it has been a long time since the work has been very hard in recent years, and the states and counties have gradually become quiet.

Several ministers who proposed the proposal all breathed a sigh of relief and were afraid.

But the crisis arose just a few months later.

Zheng Lang still neglected one issue, and Wang Anshi was also implementing another reform when implementing the exemption law, Fangtianjun Tax Law.

During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, the highest statistics of the arable land area reached more than 5 million hectares, while during the Zhao Zhen Dynasty, the lowest was shrinking to 2.3 million hectares. Where did these 300 million arable land go? It was not barren, but on the contrary, at least 50 million hectares of new arable land was added. The reason for the reduction and the hidden occupation of all was to evade taxes.

This phenomenon is very bad. When the tax transfer in the Song Dynasty, the highest tax reached 160 million guan, while the two taxes were less than 50 million guan. That is, the two taxes only accounted for about 30 to 40% of the tax ratio, and unlike other dynasties, it accounted for almost 90%.

But it was also the focus of the court's taxation. They dared not lose these taxes and could only pay physical levies to small and medium-sized farmers who dared not hide the land, so they forced Wang Anshi to implement the Fangtian Equal Tax Law. Now the Ministry of Revenue has no statistics. Zheng Lang estimated that the court's real land was at least 6 million hectares, and at most half of the reports were reported.

Didn't dare to touch it.

Zheng Lang is too young now, and the two parties are fighting, so it is not the time for reform.

Even if it was changed, Zheng Lang didn't come up with a solution.

But it is precisely because of this that the exemption law has affected.

The improvement of the exemption law was actually very gentle. It took care of the interests of the powerful to the greatest extent, including the taxation gradually halved according to each equal part, and the new law was simple. The court only needed to divide the prefectures and equal parts and standards according to the previous tax situation. Then it handed over to the prefectures and counties for handling. The space for activities is large, the freedom is strong, and the law is also simple and not dull. It also attracted the two Korean and Fans, who were the leaders of the gentlemen, and even Lu Yijian retreated to hundreds of houses, and they responded. At this time, the gentlemen was also the most powerful, and there were many people supporting them.

It can be said that it has achieved great benefits to the timing and political situation.

However, there are still troubles.

The trouble is to calculate property, except for the livestock on arable land, not counting, houses, fields, workshops, ships, vehicles, etc., all of them need to be calculated. Among them, the arable land property is in the open and becomes the big head, so some powerful people further hide the fields.

Although the amount of money to be exempted from labor is very small, the more money it is, the more money it is, the actual proportion is very small. When it comes to a wealthy rich man with more than 100,000 guan, it is only 0.23% of the property counted by taxes, which is almost only close to the city tax. But the powerful people are still not satisfied. It just so happens that the hidden field can not only avoid labor taxes, but also evade two taxes. Therefore, the hidden field is even more popular.

However, the total amount of exemption money collected by a state prefecture remains unchanged, and even if it fluctuates, it will not be very large. Therefore, the exemption money is distributed to third- and fourth-class households again, and even fifth-class households are affected. In other words, if it continues to develop, the exemption law does not mention its original goal, but also affects the country's two taxes.

"Aren't they satisfied?" Fan Zhongyan said angrily.

Taxation is very heavy, and there is another reason for tax evasion, but taxation is actually very light. Moreover, the implementation of the exemption law makes the rich households the biggest beneficiaries.

"Brother Xiwen, where is the human heart?"

"Human heart?"

"I have only been in Beijing for a while. I have to understand the situation of the court and I can't find much time to go. I will prepare for a while to be kind and righteous again, and what I mean by benevolence and righteousness. Benefiting others and selfishness, good and evil in human nature. Promoting good and eliminating evil and benefiting others is the need of the social group, but as the essence, people's hearts are mostly for themselves, and when they are in their own interests, it is difficult to take care of the interests of other people, including the interests of the country. That's why the king has become a rare person and a role model for gentlemen in the world."

Fan Zhongyan had no intention of joking with him. If this bad momentum expands, the consequences will be very bad. He asked: "Wake aware of your good ideas?"

Yes, the square land tax is equal, the actual land acres are cleared, and there are a very small number of powerful people with Ping An Supervision and Sugar Workshops that can be used to punish, however... However...

This is not a Romance. Once it arises, disputes will be imagined.

He shook his head and said, "I have thought about it for a long time, but I haven't come up with a good idea, so I come here to negotiate with you today to see what good ideas are there?"

Fan Zhongyan quickly thought of one, clearing the land, but he was not a young man, and he immediately thought of the consequences, his eyes were covered in distant, and he didn't know what to do.

"Or discuss with Yanguo, Zhigui and others again?" Zheng Lang said hesitantly.

The law of exemption from service is just the first step, and he will have a bigger move soon. Lu Yijian is kind and advised Zheng Lang to do more things, but not to promote changes, nor to get involved in the dispute between the two parties. He is still young now and needs to accumulate some popularity and experience. After a few years, when he returned from the Khitan, he is thirty years old, has qualifications, authority, and age. With the emperor's favor, being a prime minister is not a dream, and that is the time to do things.

In addition, Lu Yijian also keenly realized that the political situation will be in chaos in the past few years, and it is difficult to explain clearly the political situation. Only in a few years can the political situation become clear.

But there is a question of timing in the middle, and it is also important to take advantage of the situation.

The heavy labor brought by the Northwest War was the time to implement the exemption law, and the uprising of Wang Lun and Zhang Hai was the second time. After this village, there was no such store. Everyone healed and forgot the pain. Who would support this reform? Besides, the gentlemen were in charge of the government and they liked to take big steps. When the "Little People's Party" came to power, the policies would become very conservative.

This is the second opportunity and should not be missed.

Before this, this disadvantage must be solved.

But the gentlemen obviously did not come up with a good idea. The method was simple. As long as you stop the hidden field phenomenon, no trouble would be left. But only two taxes were collected, and the hidden field could not be stopped. However, Zheng Lang felt a vaguely that there was an opportunity, Guo Zi, Qianbu Square Field Method!

There was a lot of controversy, so he left it to the gentleman party, who retreated behind the scenes to attract snobs.

The time has not yet arrived.

When I came back from Fan Zhongyan, I received an unexpected request.

The Eight Virtue King Zhao Yuanyan sent him, and historic records recorded one thing. He used troops in the northwest and gave the public 500,000 yuan to help the border. The emperor did not want to refuse it, so he listened to it. He once asked if Yishan (official official) Wang Huan and Yuan Hao were pacified? He replied, "No." He also said, "What is the use of the prime minister?" Those who heard it feared his words. Therefore, he was said to be the Eight Virtue King, and he said that he united Kou Zhun, Yang Liulang, Fan Zhongyan and Bao Zheng, which was simply nonsense. Kou Zhun would not take the Eight Virtue Kings seriously. If Yang Liulang had the eight kings to take care of him, he would not have been promoted. Fan Zhongyan fought with Lu Yijian all his life, what did it have to do with the Eight Kings? Bao Zheng's entry into the capital was recommended by Wang Gongchen, and when the Eight Virtue Kings died, he was just a small censor.

Even this half million is also a big problem.

The truth is that Yuan Yan led the Jingyang towns and gave 25,000 yuan in annual money. This is only cash, as well as silk, grain, charcoal, land and other things. In fact, the gift is at least three times more than that, and it may even be close to 100,000 yuan!

When the northwest used troops, the officials were slightly reduced one after another. Yuan Yan should pay half of the annual money, but Yuan Yan's expenses were not guaranteed, and even borrowed several years of salary materials. Wang Huan of Yishan advised the party to have border troubles. It was appropriate to help the court save money. Yuan Yan said: "I am worried about killing people."

I don’t have enough money every year, so how can I spend this half-time? This made Zheng Lang very confused. Just count it a little less. Yuan Yan withdraws about 70,000 yuan from the court a year. The 70,000 yuan is not one by one. It is a scattered bun, with a purchasing power equivalent to nearly 40 million yuan in later generations. There is no need to buy a luxury house. How did the court continue to use it?

Wang Huan advised again, Yuan Yan had no choice but to obey, and squeezed out 500,000 yuan, which was only 500 yuan in money. Compared to his huge expenditure, it was a drizzle. Soon after, Zhao Zhen claimed that Yuan Yan was his uncle and did not want to cut losses, so he gave it all. It was probably because Zhao Zhen had a headache, so I squeezed around and wanted you to be a good leader as your uncle, but if you don't, you only squeezed out 500 yuan in money, which made me take the blame. It would be better not to have these 500 yuan in money.

This is the truth about the Eight Virtue Kings.

However, many ministers were very afraid of him, including Zhang Dexiang and Du Yan, who were all rising stars. Except for Lu Yijian, who retired from illness, they did not have such deep qualifications to compete with the emperor's only uncle, so they were often afraid of it.

Zheng Lang brought a sentence over: "The clan family and the prime minister are the galaxy and the earth. The two are separated from each other and the way of heaven. When the way of heaven intersects, the way of heaven is broken, and the country will not be in power."

I won't go to your house.

Whether it is kind or other intentions, I will be my prime minister innocently. You are noble or cheap, and it has nothing to do with me. But I have a meaning, we are not related to us, I will not be afraid that you will cause trouble for me, and you don’t have to worry about my son after I die of old age.

But Fan Zhongyan and Han Qicai came to the court and were very quiet before everything was clear.

This is the moment before dawn. The quieter it is, the more vigorous it is behind it...

At this time, it rained in Kaifeng.

In May, late at night, most people were asleep. Suddenly, a few thunder sounded from the sky. Zhao Zhen hurriedly got up from the bed, and didn't even have time to tie his clothes. He stood outside the hall and looked at the sky and murmured to pray. After a while, the rain fell, Zhao Zhen's clothes were wet, and the eunuch pulled him in without pulling it. He danced first, then looked at the sky and thanked again and again, until the rain stopped, he entered the hall.

The next day, the assistant minister praised the congratulations, and Zhao Zhen couldn't help but feel happy and said, "It's not raining for a long time. I burned incense and prayed to the sky. Last night, I suddenly heard a slight thunder in the bedroom. I hurriedly put on my crown and tied my highness. After a while, the rain came, and my clothes were wet. Until the rain cleared, I would like to thank you again. I dare to rise to the ranks. From now on, I still hope that the old seedlings can be saved."

Zhang Dexiang said: "If Your Majesty is sincere, how can God do this?"

Zhao Zhen said: "It turns out that I want to issue an edict to punish myself and stop having fun and reduce meals. I am afraid that it is almost like celebrating a reputation. It is better to pray carefully every day and night."

Listening this sentence carefully makes people feel more and more sad.

I issued an edict to take the fault on me alone, but what does an edict mean? Should I take responsibility or shirking responsibility? Is it so humble!

At least at this moment, Zheng Lang felt that Zhao Zhen was very sad. It would be fine if it rained one after another in the future, but the key was not falling. Not only this year, there will be drought and flood disasters in a few years, the Yellow River bursting again and again, and the number of sons and several years of breaking the sky, confusing Zhao Zhen's life. Even Zhao Zhen didn't know where the problem was, and his nerves were a little confused in the past few years before his death.

He suddenly fell down and gave a great gift to the prime ministers, saying, "My dear masters, I have something to ask for."

He was always hesitant and had too many troubles. The improvement of the exemption law brought serious negative factors, which made Zheng Lang hesitate and did not want to change. It was not until this time that he made up his mind to at least do something.

Zhang Dexiang and others immediately said, "Xingzhi, please say whatever you want to say, and you don't need to give this great gift."

They are all prime ministers and can't bear it.

"For Your Majesty, for the sake of this country, the people, I have some ideas in my mind, but if I continue to implement it, there will be disputes. Please help me." (To be continued)!~!
