I don’t know what Governor Li and Xianggong Zhong said. Anyway, since then, the relationship between the Governor’s Office and the Governor’s Office has become a little more harmonious. Even the eldest son Zhong Yong entered the Governor’s Office and became the clerk. For a moment, the government and the people were in full swing.

Everyone said that Governor Li had already mastered the government and the entire Han Dynasty would be overturned soon.

Only one person felt uncomfortable. The robbery incident was his carefully planned promotion prospect. It was so disgusting to do so in a hurry.

Liu Yu felt so frustrated.

Compared with his aggrievance, Zhou Kui of the Sea Dragon Army was very excited and extremely excited.

Since Langjun entered Panyu City, Hailongjun has been quietly staying at the port terminal, like an invisible one, completely ignored.

After the old leader retired, Zhou Kui became the commander of the Hailong Army with his merits, and he controlled the entire Nanhan navy.

However, the navy is no more than the army, and has a very small influence on the entire court. Naturally, its status is more than just a little lower, and it is even worse than the commander of an imperial guard.

This time my husband calls me, and the minister must have a heavy responsibility to add it to me!

My heart was happy, and even my steps were much faster. Zhou Kui threw out a string of copper coins and rushed in regardless of the doorman's thanks.

"Master, Commander Zhou of the Hailong Army is here!"

"Let him come in!" Li Jia waved his hand and continued to talk to Cui Quan and Xianggong Cui, who was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works.

"Since other miscellaneous taxes are exempted, the summer collection is imminent. Is my husband estimating how much money it may be charged?"

"The court can receive the right taxes. Other miscellaneous taxes can only be purchased by one hundred yuan. They either entered the inner court or were annexed by the local government. Compared with the past, it is almost the same!"

Regarding taxation, this is the foundation of the imperial court's existence. Gao Gong Cui naturally knew it clearly. He calculated it a few times and said seriously:

"Salt tax, commercial tax, customs tax, summer tax, and monopoly. It only enters the court every year for only 700,000 jin, and other grains of 300,000 shi, without soldiers or disasters. It is also exempted from the matter of building a palace, and it is more than enough to support the court's expenses!"

There are a lot of 700,000 guan, and the taxpayer population is only about one million, while the Southern Tang population is 5 million, and the taxpayer is only about two million guan, and the per capita tax payment is high.

This is because the Maritime Bureau is removed, otherwise there will be more.

The Southern Han inherited the Tang system and implemented the two tax laws, collecting only money and grain, and the basis was still calculated by the land acres of Emperor Gaozu.

In other words, even if a civilian had a wealth of 100 million yuan decades ago, his descendants had no money and had nothing to do, but he still had to bear the tax standards decades ago, which could be said to have encouraged land annexation.

The poor have nothing and still bear huge taxes. The landlords and gentry have a wealth of wealth, but they only have to bear a small part of the taxes, and even pass them on to the poor.

There are fewer and fewer households paying taxes.

The finances of the Southern Han court were surprisingly rich in the entire Five Dynasties period, just like Shu. One was to stay away from war, and the other was to rely on sea trade. The silver flowing into Lingnan from abroad every year was no less than 100,000 taels.

Lingnan silver is cheap, one tael of silver is only two jin of coins, while the Southern Tang Dynasty was three jin, and the Central Plains was five jin. Unfortunately, only the Southern Han Dynasty could use it as tax coins because it had a lot of silver, while the rest of the countries could only use it as rewards and not as regular money.

"What is the land tax amount?" The two-tax system is levied according to the fertility of the fields, not the yield per mu. For example, today's severe drought, the yield per mu is zero, but the prescribed land tax is still required.

"The tax of 2,100 yuan per hectare of land is 1,800 yuan per hectare of land is 1,500 yuan per hectare of land is 1,500 yuan per hectare of land is 1!"

Li Jia calculated that each hectare of 100 mu, with a minimum of 15 coins per mu. It seems not high, and it is only worth half a dou of rice. Two taxes are only levied on copper coins. Farmers must pay copper coins to pay taxes, so they must go to the grain merchant or landlord to exchange for copper coins. When the grain merchants harvest rice in summer, five coins per dou is already considered the conscientious price.

Although grains were used later, local governments still implemented money planning, one was cheap and convenient, and the other was able to make money.

When you go to the field, you produce less than one stone per mu. If you have fifteen cents, it is only three dou, and the land tax is nearly 30%. If you add coin, other miscellaneous taxes, and corvee, wouldn’t you wait to die as a farmer?

"Today there is no flood or drought, and no military disasters. The summer harvest is imminent, but the grain is low and the farmers are hurting!"

Li Jia shook his head. The most difficult thing is the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. He had a desperate hope to do something.

During the Li Shimin period, there was a three-coin rice dumpling, but at that time, the equal-land system was implemented, the renting system was rented, and the physical goods were paid, so the people were happy.

However, the summer harvest is imminent, and temporary changes are the most brainless. This small country in Lingnan still needs to continue according to the original track, at least to survive this summer harvest.

"Since you have enough money and food, then this year, build more river embankments and more official roads!" Li Jia sighed and said.

"This is what you mean!" Cui Xianggong nodded, and when he saw Zhou Kui's arrival, he chose to leave very consciously.

"How difficult is this people's livelihood! Farmers are the most difficult!"

"Isn't this the governor? As soon as the governor came, the entire Han farmers became much more relaxed. Without those miscellaneous taxes, this year is much better than in previous years!"

Zhou Kui quickly got up, smiled and praised.

Li Jia smiled and accepted it.

What are miscellaneous taxes? They are all taxes that are not included in the regular taxes.

For example, commercial and miscellaneous taxes mainly include customs duties, municipal taxes, tea taxes, commercial and travel taxes, oil taxes, fruit and vegetable taxes, mulberry taxes, bridge road money, cattle rent, etc.

For farmers, there are farmer money, wine croquette money, cowhide tax (one piece of cowhide is levied for every ten hectares) and interim tax (a tax is levied for every forty acres, forty-six acres), there are fish in fish, and there are firewood to catch firewood, etc., and there are countless.

And our Song Dynasty completely inherited these tax laws and had not changed much.

It can be said that if these things are reduced, they can save at least half of the burden on the people.

When the people have money, they will naturally spend money on consumption, and commercial taxes will arise.

"The copper coins sent to Goryeo have arrived!" Li Jia asked.

Finally, he had not forgotten that he had a mission of minting coins in Goryeo. The copper material from the Korean Peninsula continued to come to Lingnan, and then was cast into copper coins and flowed back to Goryeo.

The first batch of 100,000 jin of copper coins has been cast and only set off a few days ago.

"I thought it had arrived, please rest assured to the governor!" Zhou Kui sat on the chair, a little unaccustomed to it, and said rudely.

"I am naturally relieved to the Sea Dragon Army. This matter is called to you for the purpose of Chameng!"

"Of course, my subordinates know that Chameng Kingdom plunders our Han merchant ships and should be punished severely. The brothers have already prepared, just wait for the lord's order!"

Zhou Kui couldn't sit still anymore, so he jumped out and said excitedly:
Chapter completed!
