By the ninth year of Zhaowu, the entire Daheng world and the order framework had basically been determined. In this new order framework, while time passed, the entire world was also changing subtly in this order framework.
The emperor's idea of ​​inspecting the world has been completely put aside. He has been buried in state affairs all day long, and he has no time to have any leisure.
The civil and military officials in the court also performed their duties around internal and external military, political affairs. The only chaos, the external northern border was completely trapped in the quagmire of war under the interference of Daheng, which greatly reduced the pressure on Daheng in the northern border.
The Daheng Center has also entered a rare stage of stable and rapid development.
Especially the prosperity of business, in the past two years, Daheng's business has become more powerful engines to promote.
First, the emergence of paper money brings convenience in trade exchanges.
Second, the lifting of the border trade of Heshuo Special Branch also allowed the long-stagnated border trade in northern Xinjiang to take off again.
The official level trade system, as well as the huge demand for Tibet and grassland in the northwest, also directly drives the rapid development of most of the north.
The third is the bank loan and lending, and the increasingly smooth transportation roads have provided strong confidence for business development.
All of this reflects the essence of the court center, which is the surge in commercial tax tariffs!
Zhaowu's annual fiscal and tax revenue has reached 30 million taels of silver, and this is just commercial taxes and tariffs in the fiscal and tax system.
The financial and taxation system of Daheng is generally divided into three types: one is commercial tax, the second is customs tax, and the third is agricultural tax.
The three types of taxes are not as complicated as those of later generations under the limitations of productivity in this era.
Commercial tax mainly relies on roads, rivers, and city design tax cards to collect different proportions of commercial taxes according to different commodities.
And this is just targeting private business and monopoly state-owned businesses, but that's not the case.
For example, monopoly, such as salt, iron, coal, etc., the proportion of commercial tax is far higher than that of normal private businesses. Moreover, not only the proportion is high, these monopoly businesses can also pay 30% of the profits every year to the treasury.
In the past, tariffs referred to the Maritime Trade Tariffs. Now, since the border trade between the Northwest and the Hohshuo Special Division has been relaxed, the Northwest mutual trading tariffs have to be added.
Agricultural tax is naturally simple. Under the Daheng land reform, taxes are based on land and acres.
In fact, if Daheng's agricultural tax is looking at all dynasties, it is actually quite harsh.
In the past dynasties, agricultural taxes were mostly drawn 30 or 15. Just like in the Ming Dynasty, the average agricultural tax rate was even lower than 30 or 10. Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it reached a rate of 50 or 10.
But obviously, no matter how low the tax rate of Mingzhi is, it is useless. After all, most of the land is in the hands of landlords and gentry.
People have no land and can only be tenants. The tax rate for the people is tenant rent, and tenant rent is formulated by the landlord.
In Daheng, the agricultural tax ratio is 10 draws!
This ratio is not too high.
However, after many arrangements by the emperor, such as seizing the land of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, killing illegal merchants, killing landlords and gentry, using war to riot the people, chaotic rule, and the final fatal blow, land finance and tax reform.
The people have land and taxes, and they directly connect with the court. One ten is much better than being a tenant, five or six, or even seven or eight.
Moreover, the Daheng Agricultural Tax is just a farm tax. The previous taxes, local taxes, Liao pay, and other taxes have been abolished in Daheng.
Even the corvee service that the people fear the most is under strict regulations.
In Daheng, local counties must draw up a detailed plan and submit it to the first-level government for approval. At the same time, the first-level government chief censor should be supervised by the local counties that conduct corvee labor.
The cumbersome approvals have brought about the fact that corvee labor has rarely occurred in Daheng, especially in recent years, natural disasters have continued and endless disaster victims. The court directly organized the victims to use work instead of relief, which made the soil for corvee labor almost extinct in Daheng.
In Daheng, when the people farm, they only need to pay agricultural taxes to the court once a year. They can only pay one in ten or ten draws, and no one can care about the rest.
Moreover, although the agricultural tax is a ratio of one ten, the prices of people's livelihood such as grain are strictly controlled.
Every year, the Ministry of Revenue and state-owned grain banks coordinate to count the market conditions in various places, formulate a price limit, and regulate grain prices in various places.
This is undoubtedly a very loss-making business. It not only needs to avoid the high price of food that people cannot afford to buy, but also avoid the low price of food that hurts farmers. After all, most people in the world rely on farming to survive, and the household expenses also rely on selling some surplus food.
Every year, Daheng's state-owned grain stores are almost in losses.
Every autumn harvest and grain sales, we must protect farmers. After the autumn harvest and grain sales, we must be at peace.
With such many policies, although Daheng's agricultural tax ratio is high, in fact, it is all taken from the people and used for the people.
The fundamental reason why the agricultural tax ratio is maintained is naturally because of the continuous natural disasters over the years.
Whether it is labor-for-relief or migrating people, even the resettlement of migrant people requires massive amounts of food to supply.
If the agricultural tax is too low, it depends entirely on the court to purchase it from the market. Even if the court's policy suppresses it, it will inevitably greatly increase the grain price and be unstable to the country.
The commercial tax tariff is as high as 30 million taels of silver, and the agricultural tax also has a large amount of people's living resources, as well as a small part of the agricultural tax discount. If converted, the court's financial and tax revenue in the eighth year of Zhaowu in Daheng was already more than 40 million taels of silver.
According to the current market exchange ratio between paper money and gold, silver and copper metal currencies, one yuan is about one tael of silver, and the fiscal and tax revenue of the eighth year of Daheng Zhaowu was already more than 40 million new coins.
For the people, the amount of money they have is to live as much as they have, and naturally the same is true for the Daheng court.
In the past, if the financial situation was harsh, I would tighten my belt and live. If it really didn’t work, I would borrow it from Daheng Money House.
If you have too much fiscal and tax revenue, you will live a wealthy life.
Of course, even in a wealthy life, a penny has to be used in half.
After all, the sinkhole of this era is too deep!
The natural disasters continue, and the average annual income of the people is almost tens of millions of dollars per year.
Moreover, in order to break the idea that civil and noble people are inferior to military officials, Daheng's treatment of soldiers is not bad.
Not to mention the high salary, even social benefits are a huge amount every year.
According to the Daheng military welfare regulations, those who have become military citizenship will benefit almost the whole family. During the Spring Festival every year, local governments need to arrange officials, grain, oil and other materials to visit military families.
At the same time, if the soldiers have made military achievements, they will also be rewarded to their families. At the same time, if the soldiers are killed in battle, or retired with injuries and disabilities, the court will pay their salaries in the army, themselves or their parents and children, and their children will also enjoy preferential policies for their children to study and practice martial arts.
Moreover, if these policies are just about money and treatment, and after the policy of relocation of military personnel is released, it will make the social status of soldiers soar!
If you change your career, you will become an official!
He is a noble official!
In this era, under these welfare policies, many soldiers are really not afraid of death at all, or even afraid of death!
A bad life will bring blessing to the whole family for a lifetime!
This transaction is really nothing more cost-effective than this for the million soldiers of Daheng, whose poor children account for 99% of the people.
If you fight hard and make military achievements without dying, you will be able to reach the sky in one step and directly achieve class leap.
