Chapter 432: The Land And Acre Tax Has The Same Issue As The Capitation Tax, But Has Different Basic
On the podium, after Yan Changqing finished dividing the sand tray, he turned around and wrote on the blackboard while answering the question just asked by King Zhu Zhen of Chu:
"First of all, although the capitation tax and the land tax both have problems of underreporting, underreporting, evasion of payment, omission of payment, and underpayment."
"However, the situations between the two are completely different."
"The foundation of the capitation tax lies in people, and people have two legs and a mouth, and they can run, hide, hide, and lie!!!"
"As long as you spread your legs, you may not be able to find him."
"Or he just tells lies with his eyes open, and you don't know whether what he is saying is true or not.
"Moreover, the population is increasing and decreasing at a very rapid rate. People are dying for various reasons all the time in the world, and at the same time, countless new babies are born."
“Therefore, there is no solution to the problems of under-reporting, under-reporting, evasion, omission and under-payment of the capitation tax!”
"Even I can only solve these problems in disguise by abolishing the capitation tax."
"However, the land tax is different!!!"
"The foundation of the land tax is based on the land, and the land has no legs, can't run, can't jump, can't hide, can't hide [and can't lie!!"
"Even local officials, gentry, landlords and other people have concealed or under-reported the number of acres of land."
"But as long as School Disciple goes to the place to check it, it can quickly determine its true number."
“This is the first difference between the land tax and the capitation tax.”
"The second difference is that 17, the number of acres of land, in general, is only increasing!!!"
“No matter to whom the owners of land acres are transferred, the overall number of land acres will only increase rather than decrease.
"Once the overall number of acres of land decreases, then someone must be concealing it!!!"
"The third difference between land and acres tax and capitation tax is that the overall number of land and acres increases slowly."
"It's not like the population, which is likely to increase rapidly as long as restrictions are relaxed."
“Even if restrictions on land acres are relaxed, their growth will be relatively slow.”
“Because it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to cultivate acres of land from scratch.”
"So the number of acres of land cannot really be hidden; the total number of acres of land will only increase but not decrease. Once the total amount decreases, someone will conceal or under-report it; and the new increase of acres of land is slow; these three differences ”
"There are solutions to the problems of underreporting, underreporting, evasion, omission and underpayment of land and acres tax!!!"
After listening to what Yan Changqing said about the three differences between acres of land and people, Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, all looked thoughtful, and If there is any gain.
At the same time, Yan Changqing, who had finished explaining on the blackboard, turned around and also picked up a sand table model from Wanmin Agricultural College and erected it, facing Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes. .
Then, Yan Changqing pointed to the sand table model of Wanmin Agricultural College and explained further:
"This is a sand table model that I asked craftsmen to scale down and make based on the area of Wanmin Agricultural College."
"In other words, if the sandbox model you have is magnified three thousand times, it would be the current Wanmin Agricultural College.
"Assume that the current Wanmin Agricultural College represents the Ming Dynasty."
"I, the dean of Wanmin Agricultural College, represent the local officials of the Ming Dynasty."
"Your Majesty and your Royal Highnesses represent the imperial court."
"Then now, the imperial court is going to start counting the acres of land in the world!"
"For example, I, the dean of Wanmin Agricultural College, began to inventory the acres of land owned by Wanmin Agricultural College under the order of the imperial court."
"But in order to prevent me, the dean, from concealing or under-reporting the number of acres of land in Wanmin Agricultural College, the imperial court had to send a central envoy and a royal guard to me at the same time during the first inventory of land and acres. "
"On the one hand, the central envoy and the Jin Yiwei jointly monitored and urged the inventory of my land to prevent me from underreporting or underreporting."
"On the other hand, the central envoy and the Jin Yiwei also supervise each other to prevent the other party from colluding with me to deceive the superiors and underreport the number of bacteria in the land."
"For example, His Royal Highness the King of Chu and His Highness the King of Qi are now the central envoys sent by the imperial court to monitor and supervise the inventory of my land.
Having said this, Yan Changqing waved to Chu King Zhu Zhen and Qi King Zhu Su who were sitting in the first row in front.
Immediately, Chu King Zhu Zhen and Qi King Zhu Su walked onto the podium and stood on the left and right sides of Yan Changqing.
Then Yan Changqing pointed to the small yellow squares in the middle area on the sand table of Wanmin Agricultural College, and further explained:
"One of these small yellow squares represents one acre of field, and there are eighteen in total [which means that the number of acres used for farming by Fangbao Agricultural College is one thousand eight hundred acres![!"
"So this is the number of acres of cultivated land owned by Wanmin Agricultural College that I checked. Did I conceal or underreport during this inventory of land and acres?!!
Yan Changqing looked at Chu King Zhu Zhen and Qi King Zhu Su and asked.
Chu King Zhu Zhen and Qi King Zhu Shu both shook their heads and replied in unison:
"No."
Yan Changqing nodded, looked at Chu King Zhu Zhen and Qi King Zhu Su and said gently:
"Okay, your two highnesses can go back."
Immediately, Yan Changqing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang again, as well as Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes and said:
"Under the joint supervision of the imperial court's central envoy and Jin Yiwei, I completed the first inventory of land acres."
"However, in order to prevent the central imperial envoys and imperial guards from being bribed by me, after completing the preliminary statistics of the land acres in the world.'
"The imperial court has once again started the second round of selection review, that is, it will select one-tenth of the number of acres of land reported by various localities.
"Then the prince or an important minister at the level of the six ministers of the imperial court will lead other central envoys and royal guards to conduct a review!!!"
Yan Changqing waved to Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu again. Zhou Wang Zhu Zhu sighed helplessly, then stood up and walked to the podium.
Before Yan Changqing could say anything, Zhou Wang Zhu Ju took the lead and said:
"Okay, the review is over. It's 1,800 acres. The number of acres reported is fine.
Yan Changqing smiled and signaled to King Zhou Zhu that he could go back [then continued:
"If there is no problem in the second round of the imperial court's selection review, then it can be temporarily confirmed that there is no problem in the first statistical inventory of land and acres in the Ming Dynasty."
"If there are any problems with the local land acres data in the second round of selection review, then the relevant local officials, as well as the imperial envoys and royal guards who were responsible for supervision and supervision in the first round, will be held accountable according to law for the crime of neglecting the country."
"In this way, during the first statistical inventory of the number of acres of land in the world."
"Your Majesty, and your Royal Highnesses, do you think local officials, gentry, landlords and other people can continue to conceal or under-report the number of acres of land?!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, all shook their heads.
In the first round of inventory statistics, the central envoys and Jin Yiwei sent by the imperial court jointly supervised.
And then there will be a second round, where a random inspection team headed by a prince or an important minister at the level of the six ministers of the imperial court will review the number of acres of land reported in one-tenth of the places.
Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for local officials, gentry, landlords and other personnel to conceal or under-report the number of acres of land.
Not to mention local officials, gentry, landlords and other personnel, whether they can bribe the central envoys and royal guards sent by the imperial court.
Even if they can really bribe the central envoys and imperial guards sent by the imperial court, the second round of random inspection teams will be composed of Shanzi or important ministers at the imperial court minister level.
If they were randomly checked, their result would still be the word "dead"!!!
Because the Central Envoy and the Imperial Guards who had been sent earlier, those local officials, gentry, landlords and other personnel might still be able to give them a bargaining chip to make the Central Imperial Envoy and the Imperial Guards excited.
However, those local officials, gentry, landowners and other personnel are absolutely unable to give out offers that would make even a prince or an important minister at the level of the six ministers of the imperial court be moved!!!
After all, for the prince, the only bargaining chip that can make his heart beat is the position of prince or emperor.
Similarly, for an important court minister at the level of Liubu Minister, the only bargaining chip that can make him excited is the further position of Liubu Shangshu.
And what kind of bargaining chips can those local officials, gentry, landlords and other people give them?!!
If local officials, gentry, landowners and other personnel have the ability to make a prince a prince, or even the emperor; or they can make a minister of the six bureaus and become a minister of the six bureaus.
So how powerful must the power of the officials, gentry, landlords and other people in his mother's place be?!
With such a huge force, it is possible for you to directly choose to rebel against the country and succeed, but you still need to dig out Sou Sou’s concealment and underreporting of ten thousand or several thousand acres of land?!!
That's not a joke!!!
Therefore, under such circumstances, whether it is the central envoys and imperial guards sent by the imperial court in the first round, or those local officials, gentry, landlords and other personnel.
When they check and count the number of acres of land, they basically do not dare to show favoritism, or they conceal or under-report the number of acres of land.
Because once they do this, they can only gamble that the court's second round of spot checks on the team will not spot them.
However, if you make a wrong bet, the price will be the lives of your nine tribes!!!
And this is why Yan Changqing said that the number of acres of fields cannot really be hidden.
Because land and acres have no legs and cannot escape, as long as the court is willing to expend great efforts to conduct censuses and statistics, then the court will eventually be able to calculate and count how many acres of land there are in the world.
