My husband is sour every day

Chapter 1092 Tax Reduction

For the common people, it doesn’t matter who is the emperor; they care more about the ruling ability of the incumbent.

Can it make them live a good life?

Emperors of every dynasty would grant amnesty to the entire country when they ascended the throne.

Of course, the so-called amnesty does not mean that everyone will be pardoned.

It was only a minor case, so he was released. Those who committed murder and arson will not be pardoned.

Shen Xia coughed lightly.

A loud cough sounded from the loudspeaker.

Everyone began to be surprised.

Originally, the common people were under the city wall, at such a high distance, and they thought that the new emperor was a woman.

Can they hear the new emperor's words?

I didn't expect what that thing was.

It can actually amplify the sound.

The officials standing on both sides looked at the loudspeaker in the middle in surprise.

Shen Xia saw that there was no problem with the sound.

Just start talking.

Just like modern leaders come to power.

"Hello, everyone. I am the new emperor, Gu Yuan."

The voice was so clear and loud that it spread over the East Gate, and even the crowd behind could hear it.

Everyone then understood that the new emperor's full name was Gu Yuan.

Otherwise, this name can only be heard, and the people are not allowed to mention Your Majesty's name.

The next step is that when he is in power, he will manage the Jin Dynasty in an orderly manner and make it prosperous and strong.

Let the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Shen Xia's passionate speech made the people below quite excited.

Shen Xia talked directly about taxes.

According to her people, the people at that time had to pay land tax, capitation tax, corvee labor, and household tax.

At present, the land tax is the handover of grain, just like the handover of grain in the 1970s and 1980s.

At this time, the grain submission rate was 30%.

It was more before, 50%. Later, because Song and Ming dynasties changed the grain production, now it is only 30%, but it is better than the previous 50%.

Ding tax is a tax levied directly based on population.

Corvée labor was imposed on men who had just reached adulthood. If they did not join the army, they would have to pay corvée taxes. However, the annual military pay was entirely dependent on this, and it was not enough.

Of course in Fanhua Village.

If the Song family had not become rich later, the annual corvee tax would have been enormous.

Of course, many people also suffered terribly because of this.

Although they were all disabled and did not have to serve in the army, they still had to pay corvée taxes.

The last thing is the household tax, which is the property tax. After all, it is the tax she has to pay when buying a property.

Thinking of this, Shen Xia said loudly: "The first thing I will do when I ascend the throne is to change the taxes."

Everyone listened.

Everyone was panicking.

Because everyone thought Shen Xia would increase taxes.

Not to mention the common people.

That’s what all officials think.

Because many people know that the treasury is empty.

Only Fan Zifu didn't think so.

Because he has been with His Majesty for five years, he understands how His Majesty makes money.

And your majesty is not that kind of person.

Shen Xia looked at everyone in silence.

"There are currently four types of taxes in our country. Starting from this year, the land tax and corvée will be reduced by half each year and will be abolished next year."

There was a commotion below.

Everyone felt that they had heard it wrong.

"Ask the people next to you, I heard it right, the land tax and corvée will be halved this year and abolished next year."

"Yeah! That's what I heard too."

"impossible!"

"Yes!"

"I feel like I'm dreaming."

Shen Xia: "That's right, you are not dreaming. The land tax and corvée tax will be halved this year and abolished next year. They will no longer be collected during my reign. The Ding tax will be directly abolished, and the household tax will be changed to a commercial tax. In the future, taxes will be mainly levied on business to reduce the cost of living for the people."

Everyone heard the voice from the city gate again.

It's not a dream, it's true.

After everyone was excited.

"Long live His Majesty...Long live His Majesty..."

"Long live His Majesty...Long live His Majesty..."

Looking at the cheers of everyone kneeling down.

Why is it halved this year?

Because she also needs some time to relax and earn money.

So it cannot be exempted this year. The day before yesterday, she heard Lord Fan report to her on the current situation of the national treasury.

Shen Xia had already written a letter asking her third brother to come back.

After all, the glass factory over there is already operating normally, so only one manager needs to be retained.

Shen Xia was happy.

The people were also happy.

But among the officials at the city gate, some were happy while others were worried.

For example, some people are thinking.

Who gave Your Majesty this bad idea?

The national treasury is already out of money. If this continues, I'm afraid the treasury won't be able to last more than three months, and I'm afraid it won't even be able to pay the salaries of officials.

Could this be the idea that Lord Fan’s political enemies came up with?

After all, the most troublesome thing is the Ministry of Revenue.

As a result, everyone thought about how miserable Lord Fan was.

The result is not.

On the contrary, the Minister of Justice's brows were furrowed so hard that they could pinch a fly to death.

The military conscription is not enough every year. What should we do if the corvée is cancelled?

However, the Grand Tutor and Prime Minister Du both felt that Shen Xia was eager for quick success.

The Taifu was even more disappointed.

Sighed softly.

When people get old, they can no longer take care of things.

Except for the common people, two-thirds of the officials thought Shen Xia's behavior was too willful.

This is absolutely nonsense!

The eldest princess did not object.

My daughter understands the people’s feelings, which is good.

He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

But Shen Xia did not see the people below, including the people from the Song family.

Song Chengxiu and people from the fourth room were all there.

They never dreamed that the little girl back then would suddenly become the new emperor.

Song Chengxiu looked at his sons beside him.

Think about it again, your granddaughter is a princess and your grandson is a prince.

And myself......

But now I can't enjoy any happiness at all.

Song's mother did not come to the city gate.

Instead, we sat by the window on the second floor of the teahouse next door, a seat that most people cannot reserve.

But Song's mother is probably now the target of invitations from all the ladies of the noble families in the capital.

But Song's mother is not familiar with others.

So I just sat here with Grandma Mo.

She is not Granny Mo anymore.

It’s Mrs. Fan.

Madam Fan smiled at Mother Song and said, "Madam, your future blessings will be great!"

Mother Song smiled and said, "Sister, you are joking again. Blessings are not important to me. As long as the children live well, that's enough."

Because Fan Zifu was reinstated, Song's mother and Mrs. Fan were both referred to as sisters. After all, Mrs. Fan was only a few years older than Song's mother.

But he looks much older than Song's mother.

Song's mother asked, "Xiaoyu's parents didn't come back to disturb you, did they?"

Of course, Song's mother has the best relationship with Old Madam Fan now. Besides, they know each other's family affairs very well and are as close as sisters.

So as sisters, it is normal to ask.

Madam Fan sighed softly: "My sons are all debts! They came back before, but we didn't let them into the family. We should just pretend that we never gave birth to them. It's good enough for us to watch Xiaoyu grow up."

They are very satisfied that they can still be Xiaoyu's support.

Xiaoyu is obedient, sensible and filial.

The key point is that the knowledge is not bad.

There should be no problem with this year's spring round-up.

If you get good results in the exam, you can then take the exam for Juren three years later.

He is considered to be a promising young man.
