The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

If it really doesn't work, if you beat back the wild boar skin in the future, you can still turn your face and deny people...

............

Let's talk after this.

Hmm... that seems to be a good idea.

Jiajing finally sighed: "Yan Aiqing, for the sake of our ancestors and the country, I have to agree to the request of the merchants. You can send a message to the merchants for me to see if they can help me with military expenses as soon as possible?"

Jiajing's attitude at this time is really different from before.

no way.

In the past, the emperor's arrogant and straight steel man was based on the fact that I was the emperor, the absolute boss.

At this time, he had already been rubbed against the ground by the 30 wild boar-skin soldiers led by the horse-faced monster of the Qing Dynasty. The mausoleum is going to be arched by wild boar skin, how can Jiajing hold his breath?

It's not that the emperor's neck is not stiff, it's that his lifeblood is pinched by others, and the emperor can't be stiff if he wants to.

Do you want Jiangshan Sheji?Do you want the ancestral tombs of past dynasties?Do you still want your own mausoleum?

Emperor, bow your head!

Merchants, make money!

This is the real power-for-money deal.

The emperor transferred part of his power to bourgeois merchants, and the merchants transferred money to pay tribute to the emperor.

Jiajing was full of unwillingness, this MMP.

When I have money, I drive away the horse-faced monster and wild boar skin, and then I will deal with you businessmen when I have free hands!

Don't be complacent, just wait for me after school!

Chapter 2136 "New Tax Law" promulgated [4]

In the 28th year of Jiajing, under strong border pressure, Jiajing's second edict on reform [New Tax Law] was made public and officially promulgated and implemented.

As soon as this new tax law was promulgated, it caused a shock throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Because, this new tax law is completely different from the old tax law in the past, and it is not a style of painting at all.

This tax law has four core contents.

First, abolish all exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes in the past, abolish the state's free labor service system, and change it to pay taxes to the national court, and local governments at all levels have no right to collect taxes in any form.

This has changed the various exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes that were imposed on merchants and farmers in the past.In the past, the tax burden on peasants and merchants was already heavy, but what was even more serious was the unexplainable "[-]" various taxes and miscellaneous taxes, as well as free corvee. If it is light, the family will go bankrupt, and if it is serious, the family will be ruined.

During the busy farming season, the emperor wanted to build the mausoleum and the Great Wall. It took half a year to conquer your man, and no one farmed the land anymore. Try it?

Now all of this has become history, there are no more exorbitant taxes, no more labor and corvee, and the bad habits of various local governments, such as burning money and kicking money, have all been abolished.

Second, the imperial court approved the tax burden that each family should pay according to the income and population of each family, and unified it into personal income tax.According to the amount of income, the personal income tax rate is divided into 5 levels, the lowest is 10%, and the highest is 50%.Based on the principle that the rich pay more, the common people pay less, and the poor do not pay, for example, the new tax law stipulates that the starting line for tax collection is 1 tael per month. If your family’s income exceeds this amount, you should pay 10 taels for the excess. % tax.Those who do not reach this income are considered poor and exempt from taxation.

But the prince's family and the landlord's family were more tragic.Because according to the new tax regulations, those who earn more than 10 taels a month are considered middle class and need to pay 20% tax, and those who earn more than 50 taels a 30% tax rate. More than 100 taels, 40% tax rate.If a certain monthly income exceeds 300 taels, the highest tax rate is 50%.

The key is which prince and landlord's house does not exceed 300 taels?

All exceeded.

Even the small landlords must have exceeded 300 taels in the month of rent collection.

So I wanted to cry without tears.

Half of the income is taken away by the state, and it is taxed.

But the majority of farmers and workers cheered.

Because their monthly income simply does not meet the 1 tael starting line standard.

This means that the past history of forcing the masses to be squeezed out of oil, and the powerful local tyrants not paying taxes, is gone forever.

Nowadays, the rich pay more taxes, and the poor pay less or even no tax.This is fair and reasonable.

This article quickly won the hearts of the people of all classes in Ming Dynasty except the royal family and the gentry.

The third is property and corporate income tax.

First of all, land is recognized as an asset by the imperial court and is subject to land tax.According to the land value, a land tax of 3% is levied every year.

As a result, the princes and landlords fainted in the toilet again...

Because who has the most land in the world?

Isn't it them big landlords?

In the past, instead of paying taxes, owning land had innumerable benefits, so everyone in the landlord class was desperately hoarding land. As long as they heard that someone's land was going to be sold, they would scramble to snatch it.

The wealth of a person or a family is also measured by "thousands of hectares of fertile land" and "thousands of hectares of land". It is similar to today's mother-in-law asking her son-in-law, "How many houses does your family have?"

Now this article puts the landlords and princes of the world to death.

Because of the desperate speculation in the past, the supply of land was in short supply, and resources were always scarce, so the price of land has been rising.

From the early years of the Ming Dynasty, one mu of land only needed one tael or even a few coins. By the 28th year of Jiajing, the land in Daming had increased hundreds of times!Nowadays, the dry land in the north costs at least 70 taels per mu of high-quality land, while the paddy fields in the south cost more than 100 taels, and tea hills and mulberry fields are even higher, reaching more than 200 taels.
