They argued endlessly and made a bet!
"Trash!"
Bai Yu's words resounded throughout the entire court!
Everyone in the imperial court heard Bai Yu's words, but how could they know what the word "trash" meant?
In this era of the Great Tang, when had the word 'trash' ever been heard of?
Therefore, at this moment, everyone in the imperial court looked at Bai Yu. Zhangsun Wuji also looked at Bai Yu. He also didn't know what the word 'trash' meant, but Zhangsun Wuji knew that it definitely wasn't anything good.
Therefore, Zhangsun Wuji looked at Bai Yu and said sternly," General Bai, what do you mean? What kind of trash am I?!"”
"Trash!"
"My lord means that you are trash!”
"Trash is trash, what kind of trash is it!”
As soon as Zhangsun Wuji finished speaking, Wei Zhongxian of the East Chamber continued…Zhang Han of the Flying Guillotine continued…Azure Dragon of the Embroidered Uniform Guards continued…
Zhangsun Wuji didn't know what trash meant, but those who had followed Bai Yu all year round naturally knew what the word trash meant!
In one of his missions, White Feather could not help but exclaim," Trash!”
At that time, Zhang Han of the Flying Guillotine was beside Bai Yu, so he asked Bai Yu what trash meant!
Bai Yu's answer at that time was that trash was the people that the Flying Guillotine had eliminated, the useless people left in this world!
Therefore, after White Feather explained to Zhang Han of the Flying Guillotine, whenever Zhang Han brought the members of the Flying Guillotine to carry out missions, after killing all the opponents, Zhang Han would leave behind the word 'trash'!
Over time, the word "trash" became popular in the entire Nine Gates!
Therefore, at this moment, when Bai Yu said that Zhangsun Wuji was trash, they naturally knew what he meant.
At this moment, upon hearing the words of Zhang Han from the Flying Guillotine, Wei Zhongxian from the East Chamber, and Azure Dragon from the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Zhangsun Wuji immediately shouted," How dare you!"
"They are very brave. Otherwise, they wouldn't be the commanders of the Brocade Guard, the commanders of the Flying Guillotine, or the Chang Gong of the East Chamber!”
Bai Yu interrupted Zhangsun Wuji's words and looked at Zhangsun Wuji with a smile." Lord Zhangsun, let me explain to you what the word 'trash' means!" The meaning of trash was like the stones in the latrine. They were smelly, hard, and useless. This was the meaning of trash!”
"You…"
Hearing Bai Yu's explanation, Zhangsun Wuji's face instantly turned black!
But before he could say anything, Bai Yu looked at him again and said,"This is your land tax law?" This is the document of the land tax law that you carefully prepared?”
Bai Yu looked disgusted. He swept his gaze across the entire court and finally looked at Li Er. He smiled and said," Your Majesty, if Lord Zhangsun's land tax law can make Your Majesty praise it, then I'm afraid Your Majesty will immediately jump up when I talk about the land tax law next!"”
" I have a name for my land tax law," Bai Yu said with confidence." It's called the tax law of sharing the land into the fields!" Its greatest advantage was that it could free landless farmers and other laborers from the burden of labor for thousands of years. The increase in the landlord's tax burden also limited or eased the annexation of land to a certain extent. On the other hand, the burden on farmers with less land was relatively lighter.
At the same time, the government also relaxed the control of household registration, allowing farmers and craftsmen to move freely and sell their labor. It was beneficial to mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers and other laborers for production and promote the progress of social production.
Farmers had a natural connection with the land. What about the farmers? They only knew how to defend their land. The peasants who were "neglecting the essentials and pursuing the trifles" had no choice but to act under the pressure of bankruptcy and joblessness.
The suppression of land annexation by the use of land rent had allowed a large number of farmers to survive and injected a stimulant into the rule of the imperial court. The yeomen farmers were very adaptable to the restoration of the Great Tang, and they were quite resistant to capitalist relations. First of all, the owner-farmers were the main bearers of various taxes and corvee for the court, and the increase in their numbers played a stabilizing role in the court's regime.
The number of people in the field is increased. If there is more land, there will be more people, and if there is less land, there will be no less people. There is no way to cheat and conceal the calculation of land. This is the first benefit. The people will not suffer from compensation. This is the second benefit. The year of compilation and review, according to the rules, there is no need to check again. This is the third benefit. Every man in his own field can do his best!”
When Bai Yu said this, the entire court fell silent!
No one made a sound!
Because they were all digesting White Feather's plan for the land tax law.
The people who spread out their fields!
Who had ever heard of this term?
Who had heard of this land tax law?
Not a single person!
This was because the land tax law that Bai Yu proposed was a land tax method that only appeared during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty!
At this moment, all the ministers present were digesting Bai Yu's words. This was a piece of land tax law that was like a bolt from the blue to them!
Li Shiming, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was also digesting Bai Yu's words. As a wise king, Li Shiming thought about Bai Yu's words about the Land Law Law, and Li Er's eyes became brighter and brighter!
He seemed to have grasped the core point of Bai Yu's statement about the land tax law!
At the same time, Li Shiming's eyes lit up.
Zhangsun Wuji!
As the leader of the 24 meritorious officials of Lingyan Pavilion, Zhangsun Wuji definitely lived up to his reputation. It was definitely not because he was Li Shiming's brother-in-law that he could be ranked first among the twenty-four meritorious officials, but because of Zhangsun Wuji's talent.
Therefore, when Bai Yu's words about the land tax law fell, Zhangsun Wuji immediately grasped the pros and cons of Bai Yu's plan!
"General Bai, you said that the burden of the servants is seriously uneven. The feudal court levied taxes and corvee based on land and population, and the large number of people in exile would inevitably lead to uneven labor burdens.
Finally, the flight of the population and the uneven distribution of labor would cause a series of chain reactions that would endanger the rule of the imperial court. Taking the land as the foundation and the Ding as the foundation would affect the government's income. Because there was no fixed number of men, it was difficult to collect money, resulting in a lot of money and food deficit.
The burden on the land has greatly increased…"
In almost a moment, Zhangsun Wuji had pointed out the dangers of a stall!
This was within Bai Yu's expectations!
If Zhangsun Wuji couldn't point out the pros and cons, then he would truly disappoint Bai Yu!
So Bai Yu looked at Zhangsun Wuji and smiled,"Zhangsun Lord, do you dare to make a bet with me?"”
