Chapter 502: The Civil Servants Who Were Manipulated And Threatened, And Zhu Di And Zhu Ru, Who Were
After King Zhu Fan of Jin finished speaking, King Zhu Di of Yan glanced at the civil servants, military generals and noble marquis below, and sneered disdainfully:
"If the capitation tax is not abolished, then a family of five will have to pay a capitation tax of about 500 Wen."
"If the capitation tax is abolished and the policy of 'dividing a person into an acre' is implemented, then a family of five will have to pay an additional 100 to 200 ren in land tax."
"In other words, abolishing the capitation tax and implementing the policy of "dividing a child into a mu" will ultimately allow the common people to save three to four hundred cents in capitation tax. "
"Those ministers who just said that they would raise the land tax by ten cents to force the people to death, please stand up!!!"
"Let's go out and ask the people in person to see whether we are going to force them to death by abolishing the capitation tax, implementing the 'dividing a person into an acre' policy, and increasing the land tax by ten cents per acre."
"If so, then I would immediately advise my father to give up the idea of abolition of the capitation tax and implement the policy of 'divide a child into an acre'.
"If not, then I will abolish the capitation tax and implement the policy of 'divide every son into an acre'."
"Inform the people of the world that you are trying to prevent the imperial court from abolishing the capitation tax and implementing the policy of 'dividing a person into an area'"!!!"
"Let's see if your names will be famous for generations to come, or will they be infamy for eternity!!!"
As soon as these words came out, those 17 ministers who had previously said that they would implement the policy of "dividing a man into an acre" and raising the tax on the common people's land by ten cents were trying to kill the common people.
Immediately they all bowed their heads and remained silent, no one dared to stand up.
The ministers who can stand on the Fengtian Palace are at least one of a million!!!
People with poor brains and insufficient abilities will not be able to stand in the Fengtian Temple for a long time.
Therefore, for the common people, they know better than the common people below whether the policy of "dividing a small family into an equal share" is good or bad.
Similarly, if the policy of "no one entering the temple" is really spread out to the common people.
Then the common people can also tell whether the policy of "dividing a small family into an equal share" is good or bad for them.
After all, after the per capita tax was abolished and the policy of "divide a man into an acre" was implemented, they could still calculate whether the tax money paid by ordinary people in the end was too much or too little.
Therefore, if they dare to go outside with King Zhu Di of Yan to ask the people for their opinions.
Then, those common people will inevitably give an answer that they, the civil servants, military generals, and noble marquises, do not want to hear!!!
Of course, even if the common people give an answer that they, the civil servants, military generals, and noble marquises, do not want to hear, this is not the worst.
The worst thing is what Zhu Di, King of Yan, said, in the future when the capitation tax will be abolished and the policy of "dividing one person into one mu" will be implemented.
The names of these ministers who obstructed the abolition of the capitation tax and implemented the policy of "dividing a child into an area of land" should be announced to the people all over the world!!!
Once that happens, then the reputation of these ministers who obstructed the abolition of the capitation tax and implemented the policy of "divide a child into an acre" will be lost.
Even if they are not infamous for thousands of years, I am afraid they will become similar to Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, Kong Kebiao, Kong Xijing and others who were cast into kneeling iron statues and reviled by people all over the world!!!
No, it may even be that their reputation among the common people in the world is worse than that of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, Kong Kebiao, Kong Jing and other people who created and attacked the country!!!
You have to know that with today's regular money, you can probably buy about ten shi of food.
One stone of grain is equivalent to one hundred liters.
In other words, the same amount of money can probably buy a thousand liters of grain.
If you convert it further, it is almost equivalent to one penny being able to buy one liter of grain.
And they obstruct the abolition of the capitation tax and implement the policy of "people entering the temple".
Then it is equivalent to preventing ordinary people from saving hundreds of pennies!!!
Preventing people from saving hundreds of liters of food!!!
You must know that the imperial court only spent one liter of rice to bribe the people all over the world and make the people reviled Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, Kong Kebiao, Kong Xijing and other rebels and treasoners!!!
What they are blocking now is hundreds of liters of rice from people all over the world, or hundreds of liters of rice every year!!!
Let's put it this way, if this spreads.
For officials like them who try to prevent the imperial court from abolishing the capitation tax and implementing the policy of "dividing a child into an area of land", the ancestral graves of eighteen generations of ancestors may be dug up by the angry people!!!
Such a thing is entirely possible for ordinary people who have just emerged from the chaotic times of the late Yuan Dynasty for more than ten years.
If one day they, the officials who obstructed the imperial court from abolishing the capitation tax and implementing the policy of "sharing the land from the land to the land", return to their hometowns.
Once they are recognized, they will most likely be thrown rotten eggs by the common people. Even when they are walking on the street, the common people who recognize them may put a sack on them and beat them half to death!!!
When the ancestral graves of eighteen generations of his ancestors were dug up, his reputation in the hearts of the surname Wu Yu was more stinking than that of Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang, Kong Jingbiao, Kong Jing and other people who caused the rebellion!!!
Just like this, they civil servants still want to continue on their official career?!
Totally impossible!!!
What does it mean to be ruined and everyone calls for beatings?!
This is called being ruined and everyone calling for beating!!!
This is the threat in the words of King Yan Zhu Di!!!
If they, the civil servants, continue to persuade the court to abandon the abolition of the capitation tax and implement the policy of "dividing a child into an acre" under the banner of doing good for the people.
Then Zhu Di, King of Yan, would spread the word about them all over the world, so that they would all be ruined and everyone would cry out for beatings!!!
And this is simply a fatal threat to civil servants who pay attention to their reputation and pursue a good reputation in history!!!
Although the extra one, two, three, and five guans of land tax they have to pay makes them feel distressed, but for their own good name and reputation, it is not worth mentioning.
Therefore, the civil servants who originally wanted to tactfully advise them have basically stopped.
Looking at the civil servants who bowed their heads and said nothing, Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu on the side smiled and said:
"You sir, there is no need to be so sad."
“After the abolition of the capitation tax and the implementation of the ‘dividing a person into an mu’ policy, the more people own land and acres, the more land and acres they have to pay.
"But please don't forget, gentlemen, the imperial court also provided tax-free compensation for your land and acres!"
"In other words, even if the imperial court implements the policy of "dividing a young man into an equal share of the land," the actual impact on the ministers is not great!!"
"The additional land tax that you need to pay, after taking into account the tax-free compensation from the court, is not as much as you imagine at this moment!!!"
“So you ministers don’t have to be so resistant to the policy of ‘divide a small family into an equal share’!!!”
After hearing Zhou Wang Zhu Ju, all the civil servants who had been depressed now regained some energy, and their eyes became bright again.
At the same time, they only now remembered that they, civil servants, military generals, and noble marquises, have tax-free treatment of land and acres!!!
It's just that in order to facilitate the collection of land and acres taxes in the world, Zhu Yuanzhang canceled the exemption for civil servants, military generals, and nobles from collecting taxes.
After changing to unified collection, compensation will be additionally based on the number of tax-free acres of land registered in the Ministry of Households owned by each individual.
So for a while, they all forgot that they still had some acres of land that were tax-free.
If you add in the land owned by yourself and others, part of the land and acres can be exempted from taxation.
So the impact of these civil servants, military generals, and noble marquises due to the "dividing a small family into an equal share" policy was indeed much smaller than previously expected.
Thinking of this, the resistance and disgust among the civil servants, military generals, and noble marquises towards the abolition of the capitation tax and the implementation of the "dividing a child into an area" policy became much less severe than at the beginning.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Wang Zhu Ju chuckled silently, but didn't say anything.
In fact, the civil servants, military generals, and noble marquises in the imperial court were not the real targets of the abolition of the capitation tax and the implementation of the "dividing a child into an mu" policy.
After all, the civil and military officials and noble marquises in the imperial court are only two or three hundred families in terms of families.
The number of acres of land owned by the families behind these civil and military officials and noble marquises is not the largest in the world.
Apart from the imperial court, the group that really owns the largest number of acres of land in the world is actually tens of thousands (or even hundreds of thousands) of wealthy gentry, wealthy households, and good land owners from all over the world!!!
They are the main targets of this time's abolition of the capitation tax and the implementation of the policy of "divide a person into a mu"!!!
It's just that these gentry, wealthy households, and landlords are currently of too low a level and are not qualified to speak out in the court.
Therefore, as long as you can "persuade" all the civil and military officials and noble marquises in the court, then the gentry, wealthy households, and landlords below will naturally have no power to resist.
