Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1011

To be honest, he really didn't want Zhou Li to continue talking. It was too embarrassing, but Zhou Li didn't let him go.

"According to the Ming Dynasty Law, households without land or with little or no land only pay the Ding tax, while those with land pay a tax of 300 to 500."

"Middle-class households need to pay a grain tax of 50% to 100% of their yield per mu, while upper-class households like us pay 10% to 15% of our yield per mu."

"In addition to the grain tax, we also have to levy a 10% tax on consumption. In reality, we need to pay 20% to 25% of the tax."

简单来说就是下户0%-3%，中户5%-10%，上户10%-15%并且加征耗羡的10%，亩产。

The so-called loss refers only to the possible loss of grain during transportation because the upper households pay a lot of grain.

Almost everyone here knows this, of course, most of them have never paid this money, after all, there is the investment field.

In fact, if Zhou Li hadn't reminded them just now, many people present would have almost forgotten the tax rate issue of the household classification system.

Because they haven't paid taxes for a long time, this is one of the reasons why Bao Guanjiao didn't understand just now.

Even though he had come to his senses now, Zhou Li still delivered the final fatal blow.

"Just now, Master Bao asked why we wanted to divide the land. The purpose is very simple. We can divide the land of the upper households and pass it on to the lower households to reduce taxes."

At this moment, Zhou Li suddenly stood up, looked around, and slowly said:

"Everyone, since the land survey hasn't started yet, I need to go back and give some instructions. You should all hurry up and get ready!"

"Remember, quickly arrange for the clerks in the government office to know how to record things. I'm leaving now!"

After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to speak, he turned and left the room, looking very anxious.

Seeing this, others also stood up and greeted them. After everyone left, only Bao Guanjiao was left sitting there gloomily.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to leave, but he was the one who set up this game, and he can only leave after settling the bill with Leyun Pavilion.

Time passed slowly, the rising red sun in the sky tore through the night sky, and the sunlight illuminated the entire world.

There were more and more people on the street, all of them were people who got up early to go to the market, some were going to work, and some were doing small businesses to make a living.

They thought today would be as ordinary as usual, but the appearance of a team of yamen runners broke the morning tranquility.

They took out the yellow notice and posted it, and then someone immediately read out the contents on the notice.

It was only at this time that the people of Suzhou learned that the Ming Dynasty had a new duke with outstanding achievements.

But the fact that there was one more duke in the court was just a topic of conversation for the common people and was not that important.

What really made the people excited was the second notice posted by the yamen runners. As soon as this notice came out, all the people cheered.

Because the content of this notice is about the distribution of land tax, which is closely related to their lives.

Especially when they heard that the imperial court would no longer collect the poll tax, the people's cheers almost overturned the entire city of Suzhou.

As the imperial envoy who implemented the land-based tax system, Wei Wu also became the object of praise among the people.

At the same time, the Duke, who was praised by the people, was getting up from the bed with sleepy eyes.

After washing up, Wei Wu looked at Shen Lin, Zhang Hai and Zheng Shiye who were standing in front of him with a bad mood.

"Is it necessary for you to wake me up so early?"

Shen Lin and Zhang Hai remained silent, staring at Master Zheng, who then slowly began to speak:

"Master, the imperial edict has arrived and has been posted. The tax-sharing system can now begin."

Hearing this, Wei Wu instantly came to his senses, turned around and walked out while saying:

"Come on, call the officials from the Ministry of Revenue and go to the prefectural government office."

When Wei Wu and his party arrived at the prefectural yamen, they found that Zhu Zongshan had already been waiting there.
