1751: Jiang Pengji's Layout

Feng Yi said, "My son thinks that the lord has already thought this way."

Feng Zhen glanced at his son Xiong.

Yes, this kid is no longer the good bamboo shoot he is proud of, but the son of Xiong Fengyi!

Feng Yi asked in a low voice, "Son, dare to ask father, how do you think Daxia and even Dongqing destroyed the country?"

Feng Zhen couldn't help but frown, Xiong Zi's question was quite meaningful.

"If the prosperous dynasty is to survive for a long time, it is natural not to stumble on the same issue again."

Feng Zhen stared at her son with a particularly strange look, and was silent for a long time, making Wan Xiuer, a bystander, unable to sit still.

After a long time, Feng Zhen sighed and said to his son.

"If you have any ideas, tell me."

Feng Zhen's guess is correct, Feng Yi's secret letter has indeed reached Jiang Pengji's hands.

Only she and Wei Ci had seen the contents of the letter.

"Good bamboo shoots out of evil bamboos. What good deeds did this prodigal son Fengzhen do in his previous life to have such a son?" Wei Ci carefully folded the secret letter, brought an oil lamp to light it, and the orange flames shot up , swallowed up the secret letter in an instant, "Wen Zheng and the eldest lady of Huai Yu's family are also amazing, given time, there must be a place in the court..."

Jiang Pengji laughed and said, "This also shows that the education at Jinlin Academy is successful, and the children of Fengyi are the best proof."

Under the relatively open education mode of Jinlin Academy, these students' horizons are longer than expected, and they can faintly touch the connotation of Jiang Pengji's game of chess. Although it is due to his own talent, the education he received also played a big role.

Wei Ci said, "My lord's meaning...is it really as Fengyi and the others said..."

Jiang Pengji said, "A few children... Heh, they are still young, and they only guessed 30% of the time if they made a bold guess."

Limited by the times, very few scholars dared to blame the country's destruction on issues such as taxation, gentry, and land annexation.

Why?

Because most scholars are of noble origin, while questioning these issues, they are also denying their own class and harming their own interests.

It is rare for Fengyi's children to jump out of the fence.

Wei Ci said, "How does my lord plan to respond?"

Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "Give them a marriage, just let them know what they want."

She spent so many years planning, now is not a good time to show her fangs.

Because the bureau she set up challenges the interest class that has been entrenched for hundreds of years, and it is related to the interests and fate of too many people.

What is the root cause of the destruction of countries such as Daxia and Dongqing?

Class benefits are not evenly distributed.

The fewest people occupy 99% of the resources, how can society not be chaotic?

The change of dynasty is just a reshuffle of resources.

If Jiang Pengji wants to continue the future dynasty for a longer period of time and let the people enjoy longer peace, she must work hard to distribute resources more evenly. An average score means that the guy with 99% of the resources will have to take out the things in his pocket.

No one is a saint, and it is impossible for the gentry to be the beneficiaries.

Jiang Pengji wants to find a way to slow down the land acquisition, which essentially affects the fundamental interests of this class, not to mention that she also established the Jinlin Academy and vigorously promotes education, which in itself challenges the monopoly of the gentry class on education_(:з)∠) _

It's also interesting to say that if you get to the bottom of it, the noble gentry were also born as powerful landlords.

They exchange political and economic privileges through political investments and games.

After several generations of management, starting from the local government, gradually getting involved in the central government, gaining a firm foothold and gaining more voice.

They huddled together to keep warm, grew rapidly, annexed countless lands, enjoyed various privileges, and gradually became a famous family in later generations.

The cake is limited, and if they want to enjoy more benefits, they have to kick down the guy who tries to climb up to share their cake.

Thus, official monopoly and cultural monopoly came into being.

Jiang Pengji wants to break this monopoly, it is useless to simply rely on violence, killing and crushing.

Without this group of gentry, the poor families who have climbed up will also become new dignitaries, endlessly, without end.

Don't think that poor families suffer from the scorn of the gentry, that they will represent the majority of the common people and fight for the interests of the common people.

The poor family will only work hard to climb up, join the gentry group, and transform into a new exploiting class with peace of mind.

Therefore, what Jiang Pengji really had to deal with was not only the gentry, but also the upstarts from poor families.

The purpose of Jinlin Academy and the promotion of cultural education is to break the monopoly of culture, and the "imperial examination" will be launched in the future to break the monopoly of officialdom. Of course, the audience in the live broadcast room also said that there are advantages and disadvantages to "acquiring scholars through imperial examinations". Jiang Pengji still needs to study further, try to integrate the examination and teaching system of the previous federation, and transform it into a new system that can adapt to this era...

At least, let the people at the bottom see the hope of changing their destiny.

As long as the source of officials is expanded, it will naturally have an impact on the monopoly of the gentry, and this group of new nobility will share the original cake of the gentry. But Jiang Pengji not only had to guard against the gentry, but also guarded against these upstarts. Therefore, how to reasonably control them and narrow the distance between them and ordinary people is the top priority.

As this problem surfaced, tax reform was inevitable.

The original tax and service system gave a green light to the gentry class, making them richer and poorer, and the speed of land annexation is getting faster and faster. In the end, all the fields in the hands of the common people flowed into the hands of the gentry tyrants, and the balance of resources was completely tilted.

In other eras, the tax rate for the rich could be increased, and a high inheritance tax could be set so that the gap between the rich and the poor would not be too large. But in this day and age, inheritance taxes are out of the question, and high tax rates for the exploiting classes are hard to come by.

After all, it is these vicious exploiting classes who make the laws.

If you do this, I'm afraid that most of the confidantes around you will betray you. She is not so reckless, so she wants to change her thinking, reduce the burden on the people as much as possible, and at the same time generate income for them, and at the same time use warm water to boil frogs to achieve the purpose of beating local tyrants.

The existing tax system is definitely not feasible, it is one of the accomplices of land annexation.

Compared with the gentry and common people, ordinary people are weak, and it is difficult for them to keep the land in their hands.

Jiang Pengji came up with a one-size-fits-all approach, allowing all land properties to be state-owned, so as to curb land annexation.

Rather than being state-owned, it is better to say that it is owned by the "royal family".

That calls for a hard fist.

So far, Jiang Pengji has done a good job in this regard, wherever she fights and plunders.

On this basis, merging miscellaneous tax items related to land tax into local tax, reducing the workload of government tax collection and reducing complicated links can also reduce the risk of tax evasion. The common people leased land of varying sizes from the government according to the size of the family, and the local tax was based on the common people's annual income. The more farming, the more harvest, the more taxes paid, and vice versa.

"If this decision gets out, the gentry and commoners will not be allowed to collectively fry the pot—"

Jiang Pengji thought about it, and wrote a letter to Feng Zhen.

For the sake of his son's life, don't even think about getting this guy on her pirate ship.
