how so?

Because the fields in the world are divided into two types: official fields, people and people, and the income of the court mainly comes from the taxation of official fields and people's fields.

Among them, the tax on official land is several times higher than that of civil land.

The reason why Su Song's taxes were more important than other parts of the country was not because the imperial court had discriminatory collection. It was because at the beginning of the country, after Zhang Shicheng, who occupied Su Song, was defeated, and his land and his subordinates were collected as official land.

The proportion of Su Song official fields is far higher than the national average, and the taxes are naturally far higher than the national average.

At the beginning of the country, how heavy was the official land tax?

Even if the weather is good, the people who rented official fields worked hard for a year. After paying the rent and tax, they only had half a year of food left.

Although the court has been continuously reducing taxes on official land since the Xuande period, the burden is still too heavy.

The common people cannot survive even if they sell their children and daughters, so they will naturally either flee to abandon the wasteland on a large scale. This is how hundreds of thousands of acres of abandoned fields in Kunshan County come from.

When the official land was abandoned, the imperial court naturally had no tax revenue.

The situation in Mintian on the other hand is not optimistic.

Although the land of the country is only one ten tax, the burden is much lighter. However, it has been merged by large households, and the large households have countless ways to evade taxes, such as offering, sending, spreading, changing sections, changing books, etc., and the government cannot collect taxes.

As a result, Su Songkong had the name of a heavy fu, but no real realization of a heavy fu.

Other prefectures and provinces also follow suit. The court's income dropped sharply, and a serious financial crisis will naturally break out.

Lin Run's reform of "One of the government and the people, equalizing the fields and equalizing grain" can be said to be the right medicine.

First, the "equal land" smoothed the tax gap between the official land and the civil land, greatly reducing the burden on the official land, allowing the fugitive people to come back and continue farming. In this way, the court can not only restore taxes, but also reduce refugees.

Secondly, the "equal grain" distributes all the taxes and consumptions of the people into the acres of land, so that those with more land pay more taxes, those with less land pay less taxes, and those without land do not pay taxes.

The so-called consumption and envy refer to the losses and transportation costs caused by the government’s tax grain delivery process and the transportation costs. This is a very heavy burden, even as high as a stone of tax grain for seven or eight dollars.

Previously, the sacrificial tax was collected by households, which was naturally beneficial to the large households with many fields, but it brought heavy burden to the young people with few fields.

Spreading consumption and envy into the land can allow powerful households to bear the tax they evade, and can also reduce the burden on the people, and can also greatly curb the phenomenon of refugees.

However, the premise of equalizing the fields and equalizing grain is to clear the fields.

Because the founding of the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years, the records in the national yellow book were extremely chaotic and could not be used as a credential. We must re-measure it to clarify the tax rules and be fair and reasonable.

So after Lin Run took office, he has been pushing forward this matter. Now he has completed the Nine Palaces, and Songjiang is just a difficult time.

~~

In the back hall.

Lin Run glanced at Zhao Hao and said in a deep voice: "So, on the grounds of unblocking the Wusong River, our court asked the Xu family to cooperate in retiring the land. If they agree, they will stop. If they do not agree, our court will forcefully clear the house!"

When Zhao Hao saw that his handsome and innocent face showed a decisive look on his face, he thought that he was indeed a wolf.

But, what does this have to do with yourself?

"Zhongcheng is really good at it." Mr. Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "It's just such a confidential matter. I shouldn't be a child at every family, right? I'm not afraid of leaking the news and making the situation passive."

"Not afraid." Lin Run smiled playfully and said, "Since our hospital told you, it is to treat you as one of our own."

"The Zhongcheng is in a wrong love, and I am afraid of being frightened." Mr. Zhao was flattered and refused to say, "But I am too young and I am not a serious official. I am afraid there is nothing to help Zhongcheng."

"No, the success or failure of this hospital depends on you." Lin Run looked at Zhao Hao calmly and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Zhao Hao received the order!"

"Ah?" Mr. Zhao looked confused. "What should I take?"

"Receive the order." Lin Run rolled his eyes helplessly, stood up, and took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve.

Zhao Hao thought to himself, where is this?

He had no choice but to kneel down and said in a muffled voice: "My minister Zhao Hao received the order."

"The emperor's edict: Zhao Hao, a doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, will be punished by Hanlin, and will be dispatched by the governor of Yingtian, Lin Run. No mistakes shall be made. Violators shall be judged as a verdict. I respect this."

"Ah?" Zhao Hao raised his head, his head buzzing.

"What, why don't you thank me?" Lin Run looked at Zhao Hao enviously and said, "Shujishi studied hard for three years and passed the exam to be awarded the Hanlin Censorship. You are only fifteen years old and have received this noble official without passing the imperial examination. This shows that Your Majesty loves you."

"Thank you." Zhao Hao asked Cangtian speechlessly, which he was singing?

Before leaving Beijing, he once entered the palace to meet Emperor Longqing. He paid a considerable amount of money to get the plaque of "Fairy" written by the imperial pen.

That time, Longqing pulled him to talk about things for a while, but he didn't ask for him to be under Lin Run's jurisdiction.

Seeing that Zhao Hao was stunned, Lin Run did not correct him and said 'Thank you', which was wrong, so he handed Huang Ling to him and said:

"Look, if you don't believe it, you can write to Your Majesty for asking."

As he said that, he handed another square silver seal to Zhao Hao and said:

"This is given to you by Your Majesty. If you stamp this seal on the fire paint, the emergency delivery shop will be submitted to the capital for 800 miles in a hurry. The Tongzheng Department will not be dismantled and read. It must be kept intact and sent directly to the imperial front."

Zhao Hao took the heavy seal and looked at the seal script with the "Rules and Miu" on his head. The four words "Silver Seals" suddenly appeared in his heart.

This is the power of a secret seal granted by the emperor to his confidant ministers, and usually only high-ranking officials above the third rank can obtain it.

Zhao Hao is still 108,000 miles away from the third grade.

But he didn't feel honored at all, but felt extremely hot.

Looking at the Huang Ling and the seal in his hand, Zhao Hao finally realized that while he was serious about the layout, he had long become someone else's pawn...

~~

After the two of them sat down again, Zhao Hao smiled bitterly and said, "What's going on? Please tell me clearly."

"If I tell you, I don't know much. Do you believe it?" Lin Run also smiled bitterly:

"I only received this order not long ago, and this seal."

As he said that, he smiled and said, "Of course, this hospital has one."

Zhao Hao looked at him and thought to himself that this is not nonsense? You are the number one governor in the world, it would be strange if you don’t have it.

But I would also like to give me a green robe scattered official. What does it mean?

Is this the meaning of buzzing or Bugu’s idea?

"Actually, our hospital did not plan to contact you so early, and we also planned to observe and observe again. It was the last time we went back to Nanjing and talked to Lord Hai before we made up our minds to come to ask you for help."

Then Lin Run threw out another ace.

Zhao Hao was completely stunned. Why did the sea fighter emerge? What is he doing with it?

When we met last time, he didn't know anything about me.

"Like my official, Lord Hai was sent to Jiangnan to handle the job, but he was secretly and I was in the open, and we were divided into different divisions of labor." Lin Run only explained.

Zhao Hao now understands everything...
