Chapter 889 (1/2)

”My highness, I have just finished sorting out the taxes of all the roads, states and counties of the Tang Dynasty a few days ago, but I have not confirmed all the details. Therefore, after I went to the court today, I did not go into the palace to check with your majesty. Therefore, colleagues today, I hope that all the figures or the distribution of taxes should not be taken seriously for the time being, and that they can only be used as tax documents for the first half of this year by the Ministry of Finance and accounts after they have been checked again. ” Heng yanfan stood up, took out a document from his sleeve pocket, opened it, and then slowly began to report to more than a dozen people present.

Just like the official department just now, the tax of the Tang Dynasty, after removing the previous taxes, is a one-to-one comparison between the taxes of Guozijian, hongwenguan and Chongwen, with the taxes of the rich and powerful families, courtiers, clansmen and influential officials.

Of the six major tasks of the government, the Ministry of grain has always been a heavy burden, and it is natural that there is no need for the Ministry of government to be meticulous in its six tasks.

Therefore, the comparison of Hubu, when it comes to the taxes at the county and state levels headed by the Imperial College, especially those in the poor areas, can not be compared with the amount of taxes paid in the rich states and counties by the powerful connections after the imperial examination, or recommended by the rich families, courtiers and relatives, or after passing the imperial examination.

In the annual increase and decrease of tax revenue, the state and county taxes held by the officials who were students of the Imperial College were not comparable to those of the state and county taxes held by the dignitaries and nobles and their relatives.

In the state and county taxes held by the officials of the Imperial College, 30% of the taxes were not increased but reduced instead. In addition, the granaries of the Ministry of housing even strengthened efforts to distribute official grain for them, so that the county could continue and the people would not have no food to eat.

Therefore, there is no way to compare such achievements in the assessment of Taoist, state and supervisory censor. Even if they have not been removed from office, they are already very grateful.

The officials who were born in the rich and powerful families and royal families were often among the best in the assessment. They were often highly praised. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment. They were deeply loved by the people and became the local blue sky masters.

”Is the data so compared credible or not?” Li Hong held down Shangguan Wan'er's hand to continue to record, gently patted and asked.

”Back to you, this is the first time that the Ministry of housing has made such a detailed classification. I can't guarantee that there is not a slightest difference between them. However, I think that from the perspective of large data, these figures are extremely credible. Moreover, since the minister took charge of the Ministry of household affairs, there has been no big mistake in this respect. Today's figures, as a reference is absolutely no problem, and even if the minister carefully checked again, I'm afraid there will not be too much difference. ” Heng yanfan stood and answered Li Hongdao.

After looking at some confused colleagues, Heng yanfan explained: ”the Hubu is dealing with overall planning, calculation and figures, so when the records are included in the book, it is often necessary to verify them several times. Today, the figures submitted to your majesty and your colleagues have only been passed twice by the Hubu Department, which is not up to the standard, so please forgive me.”

Li Hong nodded, let go of Shangguan Waner's hand, took a look at Li Lingyue, who was still writing hard, and sighed: ”so, at least we can draw a conclusion from the figures. Officials with the background of powerful families, dignitaries and clansmen are just relying on big trees to enjoy the cool in recent years. After all, those big tax payers, after all, are still better than those of those countries It is much higher to be an official than a supervisor or a scholar from a poor family. ”

”Nearly 40% of the taxes of those who were officials of the poor families and the Imperial College were often reduced by half, or even all. Is there anything else the Ministry of household has to say? Or the Ministry? Is there anything to say? ” Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief. These figures were not different from what he had imagined, and they were also consistent with the local scenes of barren States and counties presented by the imperial historian.

Of course, the premise is that if the Ministry of works and the Ministry of household can give a clear account of money, grain, commodities, water conservancy renovation and wasteland reclamation, then it can be accurately judged that the officials represented by Guozijian and hanmenshizi did not neglect their duties, and were not like the officials every year compared with those of the powerful families or the courtiers The assessment of the Ministry is the same as that of the Ministry, which is far from them.

With the two ministers of the Ministry of work and the Ministry of Hubu, it has been proved that the scholars of the poor gate and the Guozijian did not neglect their duties, but because of the limited conditions, they could not meet the assessment standards of the Ministry of officials.

Even in the documents issued by the Ministry of works, in the construction of water conservancy, roads, and wasteland reclamation, the officials of the poor gate who seem to have neglected their duties, or the officials of the Imperial College, have played an important role in them.

Although the government's taxes are low, the people's livelihood of the local people has been improved. Even some barren counties that used to require the government to allocate food and provisions can now be self-sufficient. Naturally, the premise is that the government's taxes can not be included or the taxes can be reduced by half.
