Let's rebirth together [Quick Transmigration]

Zhang Cen's suggestion was related to land and taxation. Luo You browsed through it at a glance, and soon finished reading it. Zhang Cen sent a thick memorial.

"You mean to change the poll tax collected by the court from the common people to the tax collected by the court from landowners?" Luo You quickly summed up Zhang Cen's purpose, "In this way, the national tax system They have to be revised, and the land has to be re-measured, which will cost a lot of manpower and material resources."

"Your Majesty, can you show the memorial to the old minister?" After hearing Luo You's words, Prime Minister He's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered some treasure.

"You all pass it on to each other." Tax reform is a major event, seeing the minister's enthusiasm, Luo You sighed inwardly.

Well, don't say an hour from this posture, it's good if she can eat lunch on time.Maybe these people will stay in the palace for lunch, and they will continue to discuss with her after eating.

As Luo You said, as expected, Zhang Cen's memorial attracted the attention of officials as soon as it came out. After seeing Zhang Cen's new tax collection law, they all started discussing it enthusiastically.

"My dear friends, what do you think of Zhang Cen's thoughts?" Luo You asked, getting ready to watch the play.

"Your Majesty, this method seems to be very good, but it is too vast to implement. It will consume a lot of manpower and material resources just to find out the population." The Minister of the Ministry of Finance stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks this proposal is good. If the poll tax is changed to a land tax, the more people own land, the more tax they will pay. On the contrary, those farmers who only have a few acres of land, after a year There will also be a lot of surplus, and the remaining silver can improve life." Said the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

"But those landlords who own the land, their land is handed over to the farmers for planting. If the tax is paid by the land owner, wouldn't those people not have to pay tax?" The Minister of Rites asked another question.

"This is not a problem. If the land tax is really implemented, the landlord will definitely ask the peasants for a commission, and the remuneration will be much less." The minister of the Ministry of Industry retorted.

In general, the six ministers were divided into two factions, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Rites opposed it, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment agreed, and the remaining Ministry of War and Ministry of Officials did not express their opinions and remained neutral.

Luo You leaned back on the chair, took the tea brought by Manager Li, and listened to the non-stop quarrel between the six ministers.

"Okay." After a quarter of an hour, Luo You interrupted their quarrel, "Stop arguing, all of you, and listen to Zhang Cen's opinion."

"Zhang Cen, tell me why you want to propose reforms?" Luo You said, and the scene quickly fell silent.

Zhang Cen bent down to salute, and expressed his thoughts, "Your Majesty, I come from a poor family, and I can see many things. Whether the people in a county can live well depends mostly on the county of that county. How to order."

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the tax reform, Luo You handed the teacup in his hand to Manager Li, and listened to Zhang Cen's words.

"I have come all the way, and I have seen the scene of officials collecting taxes many times." Zhang Cen paused, "I have carefully investigated the tax situation of a county, and [-]% of the taxes are from the poor and the small. Only [-]% of what is collected by merchants is collected from local gentry and rich families."

"Shouldn't it be like this? The [-]% of the people you mentioned accounted for more than [-]% of the population of a county." Luo You replied.

"What your Majesty said is very true, but I have another question. There are many ordinary people, but what about the property they own?" Zhang Cen said, giving everyone a little time to think.

"In the hands of those adults, more than [-]% of the county's wealth is held, but the taxes they pay are only [-]% of the county's. Is this fair? If this continues, the poor will only become very poor , the rich get richer."

Luo You nodded slightly, "What you said makes sense."

"Your Majesty, if the tax is levied according to the amount of land owned, the problem I just mentioned can be avoided." Zhang Cen said with his hands clasped.

"Your Majesty, those wealthy families are rich because they earned it themselves. There is no reason why they should pay more taxes if they have more money." Some people quickly raised objections.

What a joke, those rich and powerful families, the ones who own the most land are not the officials like them.If you want to take the fat away from your eyes, you don't want to see if they agree or not.

"It is true to work harder, but there is also a saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." Zhang Cen said confidently, straightening his waist, "The reason why you are able to stand on the Golden Temple today is because of The most important thing is the outstanding knowledge of the adults, and the farsightedness that ordinary people do not have. It can also be said that the position of the adults, no matter which one it is, can affect countless people."

"My lords here, while the official uniforms on your body represent power, do they also represent the people's expectations of you, and hope that you can improve their lives, and can..." After expressing his point of view, Zhang Cen started to play the emotional card.

First, he crazily praised the officials present, and then returned the topic to the common people.

May I ask, in front of His Majesty, which official dares to say that he has no people in his heart, dares to say that he is unwilling to plead for the people?

After occupying righteousness, Zhang Cen spoke more confidently.After the opinions of some ministers were shaken, they began to act obediently again.

"Of course, these theories, my lord, are only on paper. How to do it, you need His Majesty's instructions and the help of you adults..."

Luo You watched the development of the matter with a smile. It seems that Zhang Cen is really a man with means, able to bend and stretch.Knowing that the reforms he proposed would infringe on the interests of those present, he immediately gave room for compromise.

If this matter is really done well, it will definitely benefit the country and the people, and the officials present know this in their hearts.

If you do things beautifully, the political achievements and reputation you get are not 01:30 points.But at the same time, what they have to pay is not 01:30 points.

Whether to want fame or money, such a difficult choice was placed in front of the officials.

After Zhang Cen finished what he wanted to say, Prime Minister He slowly stood up and gave his opinion, "Your Majesty, the old minister feels that Zhang Cen's proposal is feasible."

Luoyou twisted her neck, did not answer to Prime Minister He, but asked with a smile, "My loves, are you hungry?"

abdomen?Baiguan touched his stomach subconsciously, not to mention it was okay, but once he said it, he was really a little hungry.

"It's getting late, lovers, please stay and have lunch first." Luo You said and stood up, "Let's stay in the palace and rest for two hours, so that you can recharge your spirits, and continue with the court meeting in the afternoon."

After finishing speaking, Luo You was about to wave his sleeves and leave. After taking a step, Luo You turned his head again, "Zhang Cen, come to the Imperial Study Room after the court."

"Abiding by the order." Zhang Cen bowed his head and saluted, the big stone hanging in his heart finally fell.

Although Luo You didn't give an answer, the act of inviting Zhang Cen was enough for them to see a lot.

The time for lunch was around noon, and when Luo You went back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Shi Buyi just walked out with somewhat vain steps.

"Luo You, you lied to me." Shi Buyu blamed him as soon as he opened his mouth, "The night I agreed with you should end at midnight."

"Huh?" Luoyou tilted his head, "You promised me it was night."

"But if Zi Shi passes, it will already be the early morning of the next day." Shi Buyi retorted.

"..." It's not impossible to say that, "Well, that's my fault, I shouldn't lie to you, tonight will definitely be over at midnight."

"Zi Shi tonight? Do you want more tonight?" Shi Buyu widened his eyes, looking at Luo You like a beast.

"Well, let's just go to bed tonight." Luo You touched his nose, what happened last night was indeed a little too much for him.

After coaxing Shi Buchang well, Luo You took her to the Imperial Study Room, where she had a formal meeting with Zhang Cen.

"I see your majesty, long live your majesty, long live your majesty." Zhang Cen knelt down and saluted.

"Get up." Luoyou sat on the chair and hugged Shi Buchang in his arms.

Zhang Cen's gaze paused briefly on Shi Buyi's body, as if he was very curious about Shi Buyi's status in the palace.

"Zhang Cen, tell me what you think." Luoyou asked with a smile, and bit his ear with Shi Buyi, "You know this before, listen carefully later, and take a look Do you remember anything?"

Shi Buyu hummed lightly, and the expression on his face became much more serious.

Zhang Cen hummed, and directly repeated what he had said in the early court.Although I know why His Majesty wants to talk aside, as long as His Majesty is willing to listen, it means that I have made the right bet this time.

Luo You's original intention was to let Shi Buchang listen to what happened, and then listen to her thoughts, so that he could judge what Shi Buchang's nature was like.

As expected, after Zhang Cen finished speaking, Shi Buyu immediately had an idea.Although she had no concept of tax law, land, or reform in her head before, she understood every word Zhang Cen said, and soon something that she had never heard or seen before appeared in her mind inside.

"Whether this matter can be done or not depends on Luo, His Majesty. If His Majesty is firm, the officials below will be more obedient." Shi Buyu said, "The second is the responsible officials. We must choose those who are dedicated to the people. .”

In a word, the familiar taste.
