After leaving Wang Fugui's house, Liu Jin's hands and feet were cold.

He murmured at Zhang Yue and asked in a low voice: "Zhang Shizhong, is there really any way to save this world?"

The dilemma of the life of the people at the bottom that Wang Fugui mentioned just now was like a steel needle that penetrated Liu Jin's internal organs, causing him to burn his internal organs and his liver and gallbladder to break.

"Of course there is a rescue!" Zhang Yue replied without hesitation: "Your Highness, although the world today is critical, people's hearts are still there!"

"I heard that the elders in the village said: People are like water, and the country is like a boat. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn a boat!"

"Although there are dangerous things today and the people have urgent needs, the Han Dynasty has been kind to the Han Dynasty for a hundred years and the people are dedicated to the Han Dynasty. As long as your highness is dedicated to the affairs of the people and praises the skills of assisting the people, the dangers in the world can be solved easily!"

Zhang Yue naturally has enough confidence in this.

As long as the policies are appropriate and the deployment is appropriate, plus his space golden thighs.

What problem cannot be solved?

Even foolish and cruel kings like Kang Mazi and Qianlong can rely on sweet potatoes to embellish the so-called prosperous times.

What's more, now?

Of course, the problems of the Han Dynasty today are indeed difficult to recover.

In the past, Zhang Yue only had the impression of this from books and historical materials.

All he knew was that the people's lives were hard and burdened.

But in fact, he was just like Liu Jin, and he had no idea how hard the people's lives were and how heavy the burden was.

After all, the original owner was a small landlord from Nanling.

As a small landlord in Lingyi County, have you ever seen the hardships and dangers of the people outside Lingyi District?

But now, through Wang Fugui's personal description, Zhang Yue finally knew how hard and heavy burdens the people's lives have reached!

"Take the records and I'll take a look..." Zhang Yue turned his head and gave instructions to the clerk who had been recording.

After hearing this, the latter immediately handed the document he had recorded to Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue opened it, checked it, and then closed the document weakly.

"Your Highness, from the perspective of my ministers, the most urgent task in Xinfeng County in the future is to restore the tax system based on acres in the era of Prime Minister Zhang!" Zhang Yue whispered to Liu Jin: "If this is not the case, it is not enough to solve the people's difficulties!"

"Of course!" Liu Jin nodded resolutely and said: "This matter must be a top priority and should be done as a top priority for Xinfeng!"

He looked at Zhang Yue deeply and said, "Don't worry! Just let go! No matter who it is, no matter how much pressure it is, I will bear it for you!"

"Who dares to stop him, who dares to stop him!" He held his hand slightly on the hilt of the sword, gritted his teeth, and said hard: "Kill without mercy!"

He took a deep breath, his eyes as firm as ever, and his expression had never been so serious.

At this moment, the gentle and humble emperor Changsun disappeared.

The figures of Emperor Taizong of Han and Xiaojing of Han gradually overlapped with him.

He was born to be a vicious people, so he set up a king for him to nourish and govern him!

"No!" Zhang Yue raised his body and bowed: "I am willing to accept the order!"

Just now, Wang Fugui revealed to them that the land tax rules that are now common in the grassroots places of the Han Dynasty, no matter how many acres of land you have, all of them will be collected based on 100 acres!!!!!!

Wang Fugui's family only has 30 acres of land, and the actual land tax of 100 acres of land is levied every year!

What’s even more terrifying is that these grassroots clerks have also limited the land tax quota.

Four liters per acre!

The current Han Dynasty measurement tools are the Douhu Bell system stipulated in the Zhang Cang period.

Ten liters are combined with one bucket, ten liters are combined with one bucket, and ten liters are combined with one clock.

The four liters are four percent of the hukou, which is in line with the current 30-tax and one system.

But the problem is that the clerks collected all land less than 100 acres of land on a total of 100 acres.

Take Wang Fugui's family as an example. The land tax he actually bears increased from 30 taxes to 10 taxes!

This is true for land tax, and so is the plain tax!

Where did these overpaid land tax and manuscript tax go in the end?

It can't be said that the clerks are worried about the country and the country, and they will transfer them to the treasury without taking any of them, right?

Not to mention Zhang Yue, Liu Jin wouldn’t believe this kind of thing!

In fact, you can tell with your butt that if you think about it, these overpaid taxes and manuscript taxes end up falling into whose pocket?

Of course, it is the gentry and powerful!

There are many lands in the Han family, and they are all registered.

In other words, if the common people have more friends, the powerful and powerful gentry can have less friends.

The powerful and powerful gentry colluded with clerks and bureaucrats and passed on the taxes that were supposed to be borne by them to the common people.

Knock the bone and suck the marrow to make the profit!

Speaking of which, in the original Han Dynasty, the collection of land tax and the collection of straw tax were both levied and paid in real terms.

This was the rule set by Zhang Cang back then. Under the system stipulated by Zhang Cang, the tax collectors must go to the grassroots pavilion. Under the witness of the three elders and local gentry, they will weigh the people's output on the spot and collect land tax.

There are clear examples and explanations in this matter.

From Emperor Taizong to the late emperor, at least in Guanzhong, the Han family still strictly collected land taxes in accordance with Zhang Cang's stupid method.

Although this method is stupid, it can actually reflect the land output in that year and minimize the harm of officials to the public.

However……

When Erkuan was the Inner Historian, he thought this method was too stupid.

As a smart person, Erkuan thought of a smart way to change the actual taxation to a taxation of acres.

For each acre of land, four liters of approved land tax.

In this way, the people do not have to be bullied by clerks in order to hand over the tax in time during the tax collection season.

The government taxation can also save a lot of manpower and material resources.

Unfortunately, what Erkuan didn't expect was that when he was there, his unparalleled prestige and status could naturally suppress all monsters and monsters.

But what about him leaving? What about him dead?

What Erkuan didn't expect was that people are lazy.

Especially bureaucrats are the lazy people.

Bureaucrats are inertial creatures. As long as there is no problem or a fire, they generally refuse to do things.

Especially Confucian bureaucrats.

For many Confucian scholars, they finally got the job of an official position. Do they still have to go to the grassroots level of the local area to see the mud legs complain?

That's what a fool does!

I am staying in the government office, and if you have something to do, I will talk about the love and mistress, drink and sing with the gentry and tycoons, and discuss allusions. Wouldn't it be nice?

When the people below saw it, yo, it was so easy to fool!

So, it became the current situation.

I can only say that Erkuan did bad things with kindness.

Just like Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty, he had a whip and a whip that made a mu of dimes. His ideas and ideas were very good, and his practice was also very good at the beginning.

But the monk behind him chanted the scriptures wrongly.

So much so that the reforms that could have saved the Ming Dynasty became the death talisman of the Ming Dynasty.

As a time traveler, Zhang Yue knew very well.

If you want to change this situation, it is the smart way for the abandoned child to rebel and Zhang Cang's stupid way.

Although their method is stupid, it also means there are not many loopholes!

The only problem with this stupid method is that the work pressure and intensity of local officials will increase greatly!

Especially for front-line clerks at the grassroots level, the work pressure and intensity have increased by at least ten times!

And the current problems of the Han Dynasty are not just that!

After leaving Wang Fugui's house, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin visited three civilian households in Yushuli.

The results and answers obtained are almost consistent with what Wang Fugui said.

In addition to the land tax, the bureaucrats also used new tricks to dictate the vocations.

The tax is to purify taxes. According to the Han laws, the statutory corvee for the people every year is one month.

But in fact, so much corvee service is not used, so in fact, in many cases, service is not required.

But the clerks didn't care. If there was a corvee service, they would recruit the people to serve, and if they didn't go, they would pay the money.

Even if not, you have to hand it over.
