Chapter 779 Determination
This encounter was far from pleasant.
If Yun Zheng didn't mention the issue of sharing the land, it wouldn't be a problem for the Su family of Juping to double the supplies of the labor army.
However, Yun Zheng's tough attitude towards the issue of raising children as their parents made Su Henian feel very bad.
In the end, Su Henian and his son left without even having dinner.
"Are you satisfied now?"
After leaving the governor's office, Su Henian vented his anger on his son.
Su Huaiyuan was not in a good mood either.
Facing the old father's anger, he said angrily: "I am not the cause of this whole thing about Ding and his mother! You are so angry, why didn't you vent your anger on Yunzheng just now?"
"you……"
Su Henian was so angry that he raised his palm and wanted to slap Su Huaiyuan on the face.
However, after hesitating for a long time, Su Henian's slap still did not fall.
Things have become like this, and it makes no sense for the father and son to argue here anymore.
The top priority is to rush back to Juping and tell the clan members about the new tax system, so that everyone can discuss countermeasures together to see what should be done.
This new tax system has a huge impact on clans like the Juping Su clan.
If the new tax system is implemented smoothly, their interests will be seriously damaged.
Su Henian put down his palms angrily and sat in the carriage with a frosty face.
"How do you think we should deal with the problem of dividing the family into one family now?"
Su Henian suppressed the anger in his heart and asked his son.
"Let's just wait and see what happens!"
Su Huaiyuan's anger subsided and he sighed: "If Yun Zheng forcibly implements the new tax system of dividing one person into one mu, it will affect the interests of many people! I, the Su family, don't be the first to show off! Otherwise, Yun Zheng will use us to scare the monkeys. …”
Spread into acres.
These four simple words can be said to be a disaster for families with more land.
Not only the Su family resists this new tax system, but all the landlords and gentry in Fuzhou will also resist!
It doesn’t take much thinking to know that Yunzheng’s implementation of the new tax system is bound to encounter great resistance.
But since Yunzheng has directly expressed his determination, it means that it is imperative to implement the new tax system.
In this way, there will inevitably be huge conflicts between Yunzheng and the landlord class in Fuzhou.
The contest between the two sides is bound to begin!
The Su family wants others to try Yun Zheng's skills first before making a decision.
Su Henian thought for a moment and nodded: "What you said makes sense! Yun Zheng originally wanted me, the Su family, to take the lead. If we show up now, Yun Zheng will probably take action on us!"
At this moment, Su Henian felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, he came to the governor's office in time to show his kindness to Yunzheng.
Although the result was not ideal, the resignation of the Su family members was at least perfunctory.
If Yun Zheng misunderstands that the Su family wants to threaten him, Yun Zheng will definitely use the Su family to scare the monkeys!
Thinking of this, the depression in Su Henian's heart finally dissipated.
Seeing that the stubborn old man had no intention of confronting Yun Zheng, Su Huaiyuan felt relieved.
After a moment of silence, Su Huaiyuan asked again: "Will Laojun's supplies be returned?"
"What the hell!"
When he mentioned this matter, Su Henian immediately lost his temper again, "He Yunzheng put his knife on our necks, and we still sent him supplies and labor? It's a good thing that we didn't cause any trouble for him!"
There is no problem of spreading the land from one person to another, so it is no problem for him to double the supplies of the labor army.
But now, he doesn't want to take out a grain of rice!
"Just give it!"
Su Huaiyuan sighed softly and persuaded: "This little thing is nothing to our Su family! If the diversion of land cannot be stopped, I hope Yun Zheng will do it for the sake of our labor force. I, the Su clan, will show mercy..."
"Show mercy? Do you think he will?"
Su Henian snorted: "I, the Su clan, are a typical example! He will show no mercy to anyone he shows mercy to, the Su clan! Otherwise, how can he convince the public?"
Su Henian saw this very clearly.
It is absolutely a dream to want Yunzheng to be merciful to the Su family for the sake of this little material!
It's like you want to kill someone.
Not killing the principal criminal, but only the accomplice?
Looking around the world, there is no such truth.
Listening to Su Henian's words, Su Huaiyuan opened his mouth slightly, but finally said nothing more.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Su Henian's words did make sense.
The Su family's tree attracts the wind.
Whoever Yun Zheng shows mercy to will not show mercy to the Su family.
This matter is really troublesome!
……
"Your Majesty, do you really want to promote the idea of sharing the land between children and households?"
At the governor's office, Ji Ran asked Yunzheng worriedly.
"What, you also oppose the new tax system?"
Yun Zheng stared at Ji Ran with a smile on his face.
"No, no, I support the idea of sharing the land with the family."
Ji Ran shook his head quickly, "It's just that at this juncture, if the prince continues to forcefully implement the idea of dividing the land between children and acres, I'm afraid he will encounter great resistance and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble! Maybe, the entire Fuzhou officials will submit Resignation..."
After all, Ji Ran was also the governor of Yizhou, so he still saw some things clearly.
The biggest basis for determining whether the poll tax is high or low is household registration.
But not everyone has a household registration when they are born.
It is also common for children of ordinary people to re-register when they are one or two years old.
The officials below know how many people there are in each household and collect taxes per head.
But what was handed over to the court was based on household registration.
In this way, the officials below can intercept the poll tax almost openly.
But if the tax is paid according to the amount of land, it will be clear how much tax should be paid!
The vigorous implementation of the idea of dividing households into acres will inevitably affect the interests of officials at all levels and the landlords and gentry.
Officials at all levels are opposed, as are the landlords and gentry. If this new tax system is forcibly pushed down, it is likely to cause turmoil in the entire Fuzhou!
"Take pleasure, what do you think?"
Yun Zheng raised his eyes and looked at Tuo Huan.
"I believe that it is imperative to promote the sharing of land between people and farmers!"
Tuo Huan bowed and said: "As the prince said, this is a major event that benefits the country and the people, and must be implemented! Even if it is not implemented now, it will be implemented in the future! There will be chaos anyway, so let's let it happen enough at once to avoid unnecessary trouble. No more trouble later!”
"Yes, I think so too!"
Yun Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "Forcibly implementing the idea of dividing a small family into an entire family will definitely lead to some troubles! Rather than dilly-dallying, it's better to cut through the trouble quickly!"
chaos?
He wanted to see who dared to cause trouble!
Yu Shizhong still has ten thousand cavalry who have nothing to do all day long!
Fuzhou is not very big. Even the farthest county can be reached by Yu Shizhong's cavalry in a day and a half.
Whoever dares to cause chaos will not mind killing a chicken to scare the monkeys!
Otherwise, how to move the population to the Northwest Protectorate?
He plans to move more than 300,000 people into the Northwest Protectorate!
Looking at the resolute Yun Zheng, Ji Ran couldn't help but smile.
If only things were as simple as Yunzheng thought!
When officials at all levels make a fuss, who will govern the place?
In the blink of an eye, this year’s spring plowing is about to begin again!
If it affects spring plowing, then the gain outweighs the loss...
