Chapter 25 Keqing, relationship advancement

[Relationship: Sister-in-law (can be re-selected)]

What's this?

Why did this thing suddenly appear?

Qin Zhong was stunned for a moment, before he could continue to check the detailed information.

Emperor Longtai had already spoken to interrupt his meditation.

"Qing Jing thinks that what issues need to be paid attention to when Sichuan and Guangdong implement the method of dividing the land into an acre?"

After Qin Zhong heard this, he immediately changed his position and crossed his legs to think carefully.

Sharing a small portion into an acre was an important reform of the tax system in the late feudal society.

It abolished the poll tax, gave workers greater personal freedom, and was conducive to social and economic development.

The simplification of taxation rules also reduces the possibility of arbitrary tax increases by the government.

but,

Sharing a small share into an acre also has limitations unique to feudal society.

Qin Zhong couldn't change this limitation, and he couldn't even tell anyone.

Except for the limitations.

In the end, this kind of system reform could not solve class exploitation, nor could it eradicate land annexation by gentry landlords.

There are many issues to pay attention to.

Qin Zhong shook his head and didn't want to say the rest.

He is mainly afraid of getting into trouble.

How could he not know that the best solution at present is to cancel the privileges and exemptions of gentry?

The gentry's rights of exemption and exemption refer to the privileges of exemption and exemption in taxes and servitude for serving or retired officials and officials.

Although officials and students are not all exempt, the impact is huge.

Just like two people selling eggs at ten cents each,

The first person earns eight cents from selling an egg and gives two cents to the treasury;

The second person earns five cents from selling an egg and gives five cents to the treasury.

The final result is that the second person directly sells the eggs to the first person for six cents, and earns an extra cent without paying taxes.

The first person makes more money and pays less taxes.

From now on, all the eggs in the country will be handed over to him for sale, and the final rules will be determined by the first person.

As a result, there will be many second people, and the last egg may not even make five cents.

But if you say this, all officials and scholars will be offended?

Moreover, the uncle Chen in front of me is an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The Qin family is also among the gentry.

Qin Zhong wants to be a hero, but he doesn't want to be a hero who goes against the general trend.

otherwise……

There is no need to wait for the yang life to be exhausted. One day, you may be beheaded for stepping with your left foot first.

As the controllers of rights and the makers of rules, how could Emperor Longtai not know that no system can be perfect?

Seeing Qin Zhong shaking his head, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He even had doubts in his heart whether Qin Zhong was really smart.

Or was it just a coincidence that the blind cat met a dead mouse?

King Zhongshun asked strangely: "Is this system perfect?"

Qin Zhong still shook his head.

King Zhongshun asked again: "Where is the defect?"

"It's the people! It's the people who execute it."

Qin Zhong replied.

He chose a few problems that were not itchy or painful, but very realistic.

"After the poll tax is abolished, we only need to measure the land and inventory the acres. But what if the enforcement and supervision personnel give a small amount to the gentry and a large amount to the common people? How will the taxed grains from each province be transported to the Shenjing City, and how much will be consumed on the way?

What should we do if the number of people and land in each province is different?"

Emperor Longtai and King Zhongshun were indeed a little surprised when they heard this.

A child who rarely goes out and has never seen the darkness of the market actually has this understanding.

I think about how many scholars, after reading books all their lives, are so innocent and cute.

This one is a bit interesting.

The population and land in each province are not a problem, but local supervision and food transportation do need attention.

At this time, King Zhongshun also liked Qin Zhong.

It's a pity that he only likes her a little bit, and Qin Zhong doesn't even have a hint of increased favorability in his mind.

King Zhongshun said with a smile: "Since Mr. Jing mentioned these problems, I think he has some countermeasures in mind."

Qin Zhong has any countermeasures in mind.

He was just looking at things from God's perspective and what he learned from history books in previous lives.

It doesn't sound like a clever method, it was improved little by little by our ancestors in previous lives when they faced problems.

Although he was enthusiastic, he felt that Uncle Chen was not authentic.

because……

Damn it, I talked to this Uncle Chen and Mr. Chen for a long time, and I didn’t even gain any favorability.

and……

Uncle Chen wrote a letter to the emperor to get the credit, but this time he didn't even bring a gift.

Not only is he stingy, he is simply very stingy.

Stingy!

Qin Zhong originally wanted to gain favorability. Once the favorability increased, he would not care about other things.

He is not stupid either. It is impossible to gain favorability if you just give without asking for anything.

I have never seen that goddess in my previous life, and she has a great impression of dog licking.

Now that I don’t have a favorable impression, why don’t I stay here as a free consultant?

Qin Zhongnu pursed his lips and said: "Yes, there is some way, but it is not mature yet. I have to continue to think about it."

He blinked at Uncle Chen and Fifth Master Chen.

what happened?

An official from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Affairs doesn’t understand such etiquette?

How did you get involved?

I've already said it very clearly.

"Really?" King Zhongshun believed it, "Can you tell me first and listen to it?"

"I never say immature ideas." Qin Zhong shook his head and slowly lowered his head, looking like he was thinking.

Emperor Longtai saw something fishy at this time, and was angry and laughing in his heart.

Emperor Longtai went to find Qin Ye, his teacher and father who had already checked Qin Zhong.

The teacher is a dull old Confucian scholar who has been poor all his life.

Qin Ye, who was on duty at the Ministry of Industry, was able to live in such poverty because he had been loyal and honest all his life.

Qin Zhong knew how to ask for benefits at such a young age, but he didn't know who he learned it from.

Emperor Longtai said in a dumbfounded voice: "Just tell me, Mr. Jing, when the reward comes, will I miss your share?"

Qin Zhong put one hand on his leg and raised his face to think.

It’s not like he has made any great achievements. What kind of reward can he give Uncle Chen now? It’s just a worthless thing.

He may not like it yet.
