Chapter 501: The King Of Qin, Zhu Xi, Slapped Him In The Face With Data, And The King Of Jin, Zhu Fa
After Prince Zhu Biao finished speaking, King Qin Zhu Feng also spoke with a majestic look:
"Although the number of acres of land in the world has not yet been completely investigated and calculated, based on the land and acres taxes paid in the past, it is estimated that there are at least 478.38 million acres of land in the Ming Dynasty!!!"
"After abolishing the capitation tax, we will implement the policy of 'divide every liter into an acre'."
"According to the additional tax of ten cents per mu of land, it means that the Ming Dynasty's land tax can increase an additional 4.7838 billion cents!!!"
"In other words, the Ming Dynasty's land taxation can increase by more than 4,783,800 yuan!!!"
"Although there is no complete statistics on the population of the Ming Dynasty today, it should be roughly over 60 million.
"Excluding the elderly over sixty years old and the young people under fourteen years old, there should still be 40 million people eligible for the capitation tax.
"And because the capita tax standards levied in various places are different, some are as high as nearly two hundred pennies "320", and some are as low as dozens of pennies."
"So here, take the average of the two, and assume that the tax amount per person is one hundred cents."
"Forty million people who are eligible for the capitation tax, the capitation tax that can be collected is only four million yuan!!!"
"Before the capitation tax is abolished, the amount of capitation tax that can be collected is only 4 million yuan."
"After abolishing the capitation tax and implementing the policy of 'dividing a person into an acre', the amount of land tax that can be increased will be at least 4,783,800 yuan."
"If the reductions and increases are offset, the overall tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty will not be less than the previous tax revenue, even if it does not increase additionally!!!"
"As a result, the imperial court's finances will still be unable to make ends meet?!"
"Is the country in danger of subversion?!!"
Qin King Zhu Xi's majestic gaze, as if he was actually oppressed, fell on Yu Jin, who had said that the capitation tax was abolished and the government's fiscal revenue could not make ends meet.
Probably because of the influence of Yan Changqing, the current King of Qin Zhu Xi also prefers to speak with real and accurate data.
Compared with the various words of those civil and military ministers, Qin King Zhu Di now believes in data more!!!
Just like what Yan Changqing often said in the past, he can lie to you about anything, but he can’t do math, he can’t do data, he will do whatever he wants!!!
Just like now, many ministers say that the abolition of the capitation tax will lead to a decrease in the court's fiscal revenue and even make it difficult to make ends meet.
The King of Qin, Zhu Xi, immediately came up with accurate data that was true and could be calculated by everyone, and slapped the civil and military ministers in the face, leaving them speechless [!!
Feeling the oppressive gaze of Qin King Zhu Xi, the censor suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and immediately retreated behind the boss of his own inspectorate, not daring to raise his head to look directly at Qin Wang Zhu Xi.
After King Zhu Di of Qin finished speaking, King Zhu Fan of Jin also spoke unhurriedly:
"In addition, the 4 million per capita tax mentioned just now is only the amount of per capita tax that can be collected theoretically."
“However, in fact, due to the people’s active or passive concealment, the actual capitation tax that can be collected is far less than the theoretical capitation tax.
"Last year, the imperial court only collected more than 2.85 million yuan in taxes on the population tax!!!"
"If some ministers feel that the 'dividing a small family into an equal share' policy is unreasonable and should not be implemented, that is not impossible."
"As long as some ministers can use their own money to make up for the 1,150,000 yuan in taxes that the court lacks."
"Then the imperial court should consider giving up the policy of 'dividing a small family into an equal share'."
"By the way, if the lack of population tax for the imperial court next year is two million guan."
"Then these ministers also have to pay for the shortfall of two million dollars in population tax out of their own pockets!"
"In a nutshell, these ministers will make up the amount of capitation tax that the imperial court owes!!"
"As long as there are ministers who dare to bet on their own members of the nine ethnic groups and swear that they can make up for the annual lack of capitation tax for the imperial court, then I will now persuade my father to give up the policy of 'dividing a child into a mu'!!!"
"What, are there any ministers willing to sacrifice themselves for the country and the people?!!"
At the end of the sentence, Jin King Zhu Fan glanced at the civil servants, military generals, and noble marquises below with half-smiling eyes.
All the civil servants, military officers, noble marquises, and princes lowered their heads when Jin King Zhu Fan glanced over.
Isn’t it a joke to use your own money to make up for the millions of people that the imperial court lacks every year in taxes?!!
The extra one, two, three, five, or ten dozen dollars brought about by the previous "dividing one person into one mu" policy was enough to make them emotional.
Nowadays, even the nine tribes may not be able to copy the tax amount of millions of dollars per person!!!
Probably only the leading wealthy businessmen and great merchants from all over the world can afford millions of dollars.
And the most important thing is that this is not a one-time transaction for his Eminem!!!
If we say that after giving 1.15 million yuan to the imperial court, the imperial court will no longer talk about implementing the policy of "dividing a child into an acre".
So these civil and military officials, noble marquises, and subordinate officials, gentry, wealthy households, and landlords from all over the world can still make it together.
But if the imperial court owes as much tax on headcount every year, they will make up the amount.
Then these civil and military officials, noble marquises, as well as subordinate officials, gentry, wealthy households and landlords from all over the world have really become the blood bags of the imperial court.
This year the imperial court may only be short of 1.15 million guan in capita tax. Next year, who knows whether the imperial court will be short of 2 million guan in capita tax. [On the anniversary, who knows whether the court will be short of a full 4 million guan. Amount of capitation tax?!!
With this kind of gameplay, no matter how many wealthy businessmen and companies are played, they will be squeezed dry and killed.
As for these civil and military officials and noble marquises, it goes without saying.
These civil and military officials, noble marquises, at best have more power than those powerful businessmen and great merchants.
When it comes to money alone, most civil and military officials and noble marquises do not necessarily have as much money as those wealthy businessmen and great merchants.
After all, what Zhu Yuanzhang hated most was corruption, especially after changing the salaries of all civil and military officials to a model of basic salary plus reward commissions.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who believed that he could provide sufficient living expenses and salaries to all the civil and military officials and noble marquises, had zero tolerance for corrupt officials who dared to commit corruption again!!!
With Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher's knife hanging over the heads of all the civil and military officials and noble marquises, there were not many civil servants, generals, and noble marquises who dared to engage in money and power transactions.
After all, after the salary of civil and military officials was changed to a model of basic salary plus bonus and commission.
As long as you have the ability, not to mention living a very nourishing life, but there is not much problem in making your family live a prosperous life.
Therefore, it is precisely because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang killed more than half of the corrupt officials in the past two years than in the past.
After all, during the Hongwu Dynasty, most officials did not want to commit corruption if they were not really unable to survive.
Because in other dynasties, even if you committed corruption, it would only be a minor crime of 0.8 at most. Even if you were punished, you might be punished with three glasses of wine and the matter would be over.
But in the Hongwu Dynasty, once corruption was committed in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, he would really die, and it would be an extremely painful death!
When income is not proportional to risks, most officials will consider whether it is worth it before committing corruption.
And as long as you think about it, the final conclusion you draw is basically not worth it.
This is also the reason why the number of corrupt officials killed by Zhu Yuanzhang decreased significantly in the past two years.
It was also because Zhu Yuanzhang had killed fewer corrupt officials in the past two years. Instead, all the civil and military officials and noble marquises below him mistakenly thought that Zhu Yuanzhang had restrained his murderous intention, so they had the courage to speak out to remonstrate out of emotion.
