That's right, it's not about living within your means as you say, but living within your means.

In other words, each province must work together to collect as much money as the imperial court will spend this year.

The most important evaluation indicator for local officials, including governors, is how much grain and taxes they collect.

However, before Lao Si vigorously promoted the idea of ​​dividing households into acres, the money and grain collected by the court were actually decreasing day by day.

Because the officials and gentry do not pay grain or taxes.

The burden on the owner-cultivators was too heavy, so they would inevitably try every means to transfer their land to the officials and gentry in order to reduce the burden of various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

This is the same as the registered household population statistics at the end of the Three Kingdoms period. It was just a tax base controlled by the imperial court.

A large number of farmers and land are in the hands of powerful people from all over the country. The court cannot receive half a penny from the hidden people and land.

Since the old emperor asked, Yuzhu naturally had to answer.

Yuzhu raised his face, smiled slightly, and said: "The Sanku of Hubu is temporarily in difficulty, and it is understandable that we are not sure about the time to repay the money. However, if the principal is not repaid for the time being, the interest must be paid, right? Khana

Ma, I think it would be better to tentatively set the interest rate at 5% per year, and the next time you borrow money, you must repay all the interest on the previous loan."

The old emperor thought about it carefully, and his eyes couldn't help but shine. His private money was Tang Monk's meat. He borrowed it from the Ministry of Revenue in vain. After borrowing it, he wanted to default on the debt. How could this be allowed if this continues?

If you don't have a clear interest in the front, you won't be able to borrow money from the back. This is Yuzhu's clever trick.

To put it bluntly, it is just the reverse of the national debt theory.

The fourth child wanted to fight against the autumn wind, but was dumbfounded on the spot.

The old emperor couldn't help but feel very happy. He laughed in front of everyone and said: "If you need money, look for jade pillars."
