Chapter 425 The Revival of the Middle Class
For Wang Anshi, Zhang Fei is really a demigod and half demon.
Sometimes, when your expectations for him are very low, he can often give you a huge surprise and make you look with admiration.
But when you have high expectations for him, he can often give you a huge shock and let you down.
If Wang Anshi had known this would be the result, he would have never agreed to it, let Zhang Fei go as far as he could.
You can operate this way of execution yourself, but how can you change the decree I made?
Wang Anshi formulated these laws and regulations based on political ideas and political needs, and can be adjusted by addition and subtraction, but it cannot be said that all the laws and regulations have been changed directly.
If it wasn't for Zhang Fei's guarantee, if I can't collect so much money, I will pay in advance with my own money, Wang Anshi really wouldn't agree to Zhang Fei.
Even so, he hesitated.
Therefore, after Han Jiang left, Wang Anshi immediately called Lu Huiqing.
Upon hearing this, Lu Huiqing said: "Master, from my understanding of Zhang San, he will not be aimless. He must have a way, but this method is not suitable for us, nor is it suitable for other states."
Wang Anshi nodded: "You think the same as I do, but now that I have been forced to this point, if I go back on my word, it will only make people laugh, and it will be extremely detrimental to the New Deal."
Lu Huiqing thought for a while, and said: "Don't worry, teacher, this is not a bad thing for us. Zhang Fei's tax calculation method must start with government and wealthy households. Once he succeeds, the local states and counties will The wealthy gentry in the world must be deeply terrified, and when they think about it, they will support the teacher's method."
"About this point, Zhang San also mentioned it to me." Wang Anshi nodded slightly.
Lu Huiqing said: "Menshi will not express his position for the time being, let Han Sishi tell the officials. It just so happens that some of us are dissatisfied with this. I will explain to them and use their mouths to tell those people that my teacher does not agree with this very much. In this way, even if Zhang San succeeds in Kaifeng Mansion, it will be more conducive to the promotion of our New Deal."
Wang Anshi pondered for a while, and felt that even though Zhang Fei had achieved impressive success, it would be very difficult to apply it locally. At most, he could only learn from it, not copy it.Said: "Okay, just do as you say."
Wang Anshi went to find Han Jiang, and we had to make two preparations to leave ourselves a way out.
Han Jiang had more doubts about Zhang Fei than Wang Anshi. After all, he had never had much contact with Zhang Fei, so he agreed and let him tell the emperor.
Hanging Palace.
"Huh? This seems to be different from what you said at the beginning?"
Wen Yanbo was deeply surprised when he saw the latest immunity law issued by Sinong Temple.
Zhao Xu knew about it a long time ago, but he still looked at Han Jiang pretending to be puzzled.
Sima Guang heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Zhang Fei would make a head-to-head move. This tax law is much better than he imagined.
Han Jiang said: "After counting the data, we have calculated that this calculation will not increase the burden on the people, even the poorest people.
According to our calculations, the salaries of official households basically reach the third and fourth tiers. If we calculate the salaries of ordinary upper-class households, we have to calculate [-]% of the tax. Now we only calculate [-]%. Only the money is counted, and the food, cloth, and coal given by the imperial court every month are not included in the calculation.
Calculated in this way, official households do not have to pay too much service tax.
As for the benefits obtained by officials privately, it is also reasonable to calculate taxes on ordinary people.And it's not just money for helpers, the Royal Police also provide officials with a better environment and protection. "
Another great benefit of Zhang Fei's tax calculation law is that it can silence conservatives.
They always say that it will increase the burden on the common people. You can see for yourself, and I will calculate it clearly for you. It is clear that the common people will definitely not have problems in terms of food and clothing after paying the exemption tax.
As for the official households, a large number of benefits are not included in the calculation, and only the mere expenses are counted. You must know that the welfare of the Northern Song Dynasty accounts for the majority, will it affect the official households?
Certainly not.
They themselves are officials, can they not understand?
In fact, the core content in it is the extra income of officials. As long as it meets the standard, it will be taxed at [-]%.
Zhao Yan, who was originally against it, stopped talking when he saw the algorithm.
Wen Yanbo found it unbelievable. They had probably calculated it before. How could it be so easy? The key point was to calculate the employment fee first, and then share it equally. Now it is not evenly divided, so he asked: "Can this tax money support you?" Is it necessary for employment?"
Han Jiang said firmly: "It must be enough."
In fact, he wasn't sure, but Zhang Fei said, if it's not enough for him, then it must be enough!
Wen Yanbo glanced at Han Jiang in surprise, and then glanced at Wang Anshi for a while, but Wang Anshi remained silent from the beginning to the end. Although he was suspicious, he really had nothing to say.
Not much to argue about.
Zhao Xu has no objection.
Then Sinong Temple first announced the tax rate in the imperial city by means of a mansion report.
See everyone's opinion.
What is unexpected is that after the tax rate was announced, it did not arouse much opposition, but mostly silence.
Logically speaking, after all, [-]% was collected from government households.
Everyone is upset.
actually not.
Because this tax rate is very friendly even to most low-level and middle-level officials, they don’t need to pay much, because his material money is relatively low, and those officials pay at most three or four per year. , and Jilu Guan is even lower.
Although three or four guans are also money, they believe that those rich officials have to pay more. They are also jealous of those official families, and they are all insiders, knowing how much land those officials have hidden in private. How much wealth.
Officials also suffer from inequality.
At the same time, official, why are you ten times richer than me?
If they don't make a sound, those officials who are really rich are not easy to make a sound. Whoever wants to make a sound can prove that they have a huge extra income, and in that statistical form, few officials are reporting The real numbers are mainly hidden fields, anyway, those lands are hidden.
The officials didn't have much opinion, and Sinong Temple officially promulgated the city wall exemption tax rate.
Compared with the silence in the officialdom, the public is more lively.
Many people think that they don't have to pay the exemption tax, but they still have to pay the exemption tax every year. Of course, they will be very upset. For these ordinary people, if they lose ten cents, they will cry all day. One or two hundred Wen.
But when I got home and calculated, I suddenly found that when they declared, some odd income was not counted in it. For example, if they raised a few chickens at home, or their wife sewed and repaired for others, then as long as they worked a little harder, they would be able to account for this. It only takes a few days for the money to be earned back.
Forget it then.
The happiest thing is the middle class. Under the labor law, they are all struggling on the line of life and death. Now, as long as they pay 5.00% of their annual income, they can skip the military service, as if returning to heaven from hell in an instant.
It's so cool.
They really can't wait to pay all the money for the next ten years today, lest you change your mind again.
After the announcement here, the statistical data of Kaifeng and Xiangfu counties were also handed in.
When Han Jiang saw it, everyone was happy.
It feels like the territories of Kaifeng and Xiangfu have shrunk by half. My territory in the Song Dynasty is already small enough, but you still have to shrink.
hateful!
The point is, you guys are too blatant, you really don't take the tax department seriously, let alone the tax department, I can find out everything.
So I immediately transferred last autumn's tax account books from the two counties for comparison.
Suddenly, I found that the upper-class households reported truthfully, which corresponded to the autumn tax they paid. Although there were fluctuations, they were all within a very reasonable range. On the contrary, the fields of the lower-class households decreased sharply.
It was only then that Han Jiang realized that the top-ranking households had given the tax department a bit of a slack, but the low-ranking households didn't hide it either, but there was a problem with the accounts of the autumn tax.
Many self-cultivating farmers have to share all the official land and those disappearing fields equally, because the imperial court collects taxes based on how many fields a county has. If the land disappears, everyone can only share it equally, and the county magistrate cannot fill it in by himself.
This was set by the government for them, and there was nothing they could do about it.
Now he declares by himself, even if they want to help the government lie, they can't do it. He only knows how many acres of land he has, how does he know how much land he has to share.
Although Han Jiang saw that it was tricky, she didn't tell Zhang Fei that whoever asked you to declare independently, just showed Zhang Fei the declaration form and continued your performance.
After Zhang Fei read it, he didn't say anything, and after pretending to think about it, he gave his own tax rate.
Taking [-] mu of land as the guideline, tax exemption for less than [-] mu of land.
From [-] mu to [-] mu, a [-]% tax is levied.
From [-] mu to [-] mu, a [-]% tax is levied.
From [-] mu to [-] mu, a [-]% tax is levied.
From [-] mu to [-] mu, a [-]% tax is levied.
A [-]% tax is levied on land above [-] mu.
It's not too different from Chengguohu.
After Han Jiang listened to it, she didn't say anything. Anyway, you Zhang Fei wanted to find out, so you just looked at the statistical table and thought, how much tax can you collect?
Compared with the city, the rich and poor in the countryside are even more exaggerated. The poverty-stricken rural households with less than [-] mu accounted for more than [-]%, while those with [-] mu to [-] mu accounted for more than [-]%, and those with more than [-] mu accounted for only [-]%. A lot of [-]%.
It is conceivable why Wang Anshi wanted to levy the exemption tax for low-class households. Because there are too many people, they can accumulate sand into a tower, and the official households are better than him, so they can't squeeze too much.
According to the statistical table, even if the upper-class households truthfully hand in, it is far from enough.
Han Jiang didn't care about that much, and reported it to the government first. Everyone saw that the tax rate was indeed low enough. No matter what class, paying the exemption tax would not affect the problem of food and clothing.
After the announcement in the imperial city, the decree was issued directly.
At the same time, it is stipulated that the upper-class households and Chengguo households pay exemption tax in summer, while the lower-class households pay exemption tax in autumn.
In addition, Kaifeng and Xiangfu began to collect taxes. According to their own declarations, the tax was settled, and then they went to the declaration place to pay the tax.
The middle class in this village has also made a lot of money. They have directly changed from the main force to the partial division. This happiness is really too violent.
early morning.
Zhang family.
Today's breakfast time is newspaper time.
Except for Zhang Fei, everyone had a newspaper and read it while eating.
"Sister-in-law!"
Xu Lingxiao said: "Is this tax set by you?"
Zhang Fei said very seriously: "It was my suggestion, and they adopted it."
Xu Lingxiao said again: "How much can you collect with such a low tax?"
He basically didn't care about it, but even so, he knew that such a low tax rate would make it impossible to fill the financial gap of the police department.
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I don't know exactly how much, but it should be enough."
Xu Zundao: "I heard that, judging from the current number of declarations, there is still a big difference!"
"The declared number cannot be taken seriously."
Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: "Actually, my tax rate is not determined according to this declaration form."
Xu Zun asked, "What is the basis for that decision?"
"Tax evasion form."
"tax evasion?"
"Ah."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "I just look at which class has more tax evasion, and I will set a higher value. As long as these hidden wealth are dug out, it is enough to support the police department's finances."
Xu Zhiqian said: "Will there be many lawsuits then?"
Zhang Fei nodded.
Xu Zhiqian said again: "Then why don't you go to the procuratorate and help daddy."
Xu Lingxiao also nodded.
He has been back in the capital for many days and has heard countless times about Zhang Fei's deeds.
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "That's not acceptable. If I enter the procuratorate, I won't be able to work in the firm. I can't go to court with Zhengwen, and no one will believe the result!"
"Not only that, but with the relationship between our son-in-law, if we work in a government office, I'm afraid no one else will agree."
As Xu Zun said, he laughed again: "Besides, recently, we have a strong hand in our procuratorate."
Zhang Fei asked: "Who?"
"Su Zhe, Su Ziyou." Xu Zun stroked his beard and smiled.
It turned out that Su Zhe couldn't stay in the Department of Regulations of the Second Government, so he applied for a transfer. When this happened, Sima Guang simply transferred Su Zhe to the Procuratorate.
Su Zhe was also very willing. Even if his brother was defeated by the procuratorate, he also wanted to prove it for his brother.
"he?"
"What? Don't underestimate Su Ziyou, I think he is more suitable to be the prosecutor than his brother."
"is it?"
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I have the opportunity to see and see."
Xu Zhiqian heard that this was wrong, and immediately said: "Which side are you helping?"
Zhang Fei said unhappily: "Which side should I help? Our husband and wife are on the side, okay? Our firm must be the opponent of the procuratorate. Besides, I also want to have a few tricks with my father-in-law. Don't you want to?"
Play tricks with daddy?Xu Zhiqian's eyes lit up, and a trace of rebellion rose in her heart, but she said: "How could I be an enemy of my father?"
"Really?" Zhang Fei pursed his lips to show his contempt.
Xu Zun laughed and said, "Last time in Dengzhou, I was the magistrate, and I must be fair. You have taken advantage of it. If there is a chance, I would like to have a few tricks with you."
He also likes to show off his legal knowledge, and Zhang Fei is a rising star in this area, he really wants to compete with Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "There must be a chance."
