"Notify Song Jiang, kill Tong Guan!" Zhao Huan made up his mind.

As the current military leader, Tong Guan is the biggest obstacle to Donggong's control of the country's military power, and he is completely a thorn in the side.

Since it can be killed, of course it must be killed.

Two hundred and four square fields average tax

At the end of September, the cold wind has begun to howl, and the once lush flowers and trees in Kaifeng City are all withered and yellow.

On the trees on both sides of the road, many bleak fallen leaves remained, and the horseshoes stepped on them and flew over.

Hundreds of people soon arrived at Tiepu Village outside Qingcheng Town.

The name of Tiepu Village comes from the fact that there are more than a dozen iron shops in this village of more than [-] households.

Of course, other families still mainly farm.

The people sent by the Kaifeng government did not come here to purchase ironware, but to measure the land.

At the entrance of the village, the local Lizheng, the tax supervisor, and the county magistrate have already led people to follow.

Lao Wei jumped off his horse and said, "Lieutenant Liu, Party tax supervisor, have you ever been ready?"

The tax inspector Dangke replied: "Cao, the laborer, is ready."

"Hucao." Liu Zhengdao, the county lieutenant, said: "The local villagers have been instigated by others, and they have already gathered in the field, intending to stop the Qingliang, will they come again at another time?"

"Another day?" Lao Wei sneered: "August Wuyin, the official ordered all roads to be located in Fangtian and ordered Fang Quan to rent lessons.

However, more than a month has passed, and there is no movement anywhere, just let the edict be vacant!

Now, Donggong wants to clear up the land in Kaifeng mansion first, but you and others are pushing back and forth. What's the reason? "

After speaking, Lao Wei took a step and walked to the field first.

Seeing this, everyone followed suit.

From the Five Dynasties to the early days of the Kingdom, due to the long-term mergers and acquisitions of land and the cadastral disorder, the land property of the rich increased day by day without increasing land tax, and the property of the poor decreased day by day without land tax.

At that time, only three out of ten taxpayers, and even those who had a hundred acres of private land paid only four acres of tax. Tax evasion was extremely serious.

On the other hand, because some landless people still need to pay taxes, these people are overwhelmed and can only flee.

During the reign of Emperor Renzong, Guo Zi, the chancellor of Dali Temple, pioneered the thousand-step square field method and tried it out in Feixiang County, Luozhou. With a loan of 80 yuan, the fleeing farmers returned again.

However, the good times did not last long, because the local gentry strongly opposed it, and even repeatedly gathered crowds to make troubles, and the Thousand Steps and Thousand Steps Fangtian Law was abolished.

Later, this method was implemented in Caizhou, and more than 930 hectares of tax-evaded land were investigated.

Based on experience, Guo Zi summarized forty methods and steps for checking the fields.

It's just that the opposition from the strong and powerful became more and more intense, and the investigation work was stopped.

When Wang Anshi reformed, Guo Zi's original method was supplemented, first implemented on Jingdong Road, and then gradually implemented on other roads.

Its specific method includes two parts: square land and tax equalization: square land is a system of land tax cadastre for Qingzhang land arrangement.The specific method is to take thousands of steps from east to west, north to south, and 41 hectares, 66 mu, and 160 steps to one side.

Every September, the county magistrate assigns people to measure the land, divides it into five grades according to the terrain and soil quality, and distributes fixed taxes according to the grade of the land and the original tax amount of each county.

The measurement shall be completed by March of the following year at the latest and announced to the public on the spot to ensure fairness.

The equal tax is to redefine the tax on the land that has been cleared.

The purpose of this law is to correct rent-free land, so that the tax on good land is heavy, and the tax on barren land is light; no tax is levied on unproductive land, including ponds, roads, ditches, tombs, wasteland, etc.; the total tax revenue of a county Can not exceed the total amount of distribution, in order to balance the tax burden.

Practice has proved that this decree is extremely effective for fair taxation and increasing income.

However, the people who own the most land are local wealthy businessmen, many of whom are officials from the DPRK and China. This law has seriously damaged their interests, and of course it has attracted serious criticism and opposition.

In the eighth year of Yuanfeng, the Fangtian average tax law was forced to stop, and it was implemented for 14 years.

Although the fields that were successively acquired were only as long as Wulu, the cleared fields amounted to 2484349 hectares, accounting for more than half of the total number of cultivated fields in the country at that time.

The Xining Reform was able to accumulate so much family wealth, and Fang Tian's average tax contribution is indisputable.

Because Zhao Ji was extravagant and the central government was in financial distress, Fang Tianjun's tax law was moved out again.

However, there are prevarications everywhere and no implementation.

Therefore, Zhao Huan couldn't bear it anymore, and first carried out this work in Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhao Huan also knows that it is not too appropriate to implement the Fangtian Average Tax Law at this time, but this matter must be done sooner or later, it is better to implement it on a small scale first.

Tiepu Village is the pilot area determined after repeated research.

When they arrived in the field, as expected, more than a thousand people each held a sickle and a hoe, staring at the group of people.

Judging by their vigilant appearance, I am afraid that they will fight over if there is any sign of trouble.

Looking at the fifty or so soldiers accompanying him, Lao Wei felt a little more at ease.

When he got close, Lao Wei bowed in circles and shouted loudly: "Fellow folks, are there any taxpayers who have no land? Are there people who have less land but more taxpayers?

If so, starting today, no land means no tax, less land means less tax! "

"Nonsense, why should I believe you?"

"Folks, the dog officials are coming to occupy the land, drive them out!"

"Get out!"

Hidden in it, the tyrant immediately brought up the rhythm, and wanted to mess up the matter.

"Bold and trick people!"

Before Luo Wei could speak, Liu Zheng had already drawn his sword, pointed at the crowd, and shouted violently: "You gather a crowd to make trouble, obstruct the government from doing things, do you want to rebel?

If they don't disperse, they will all be detained and exiled to Salmonella Island!

At that time, not only will the tax be paid, even the land will not be kept! "

Fuck, bastard...

Before Lao Wei could think about it, he heard someone shouting from among the people: "Folks, the dog officials want to grab the land by force, so fight them!"

"If you don't give us a way to survive, we will fight."

"Expel the dog officer, defend the land!"
