"Also, I think the population tax in Daqin is not reasonable."

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, his deep phoenix eyes staring at the woman in front of him.

"Look, if a local tyrant owns thousands of acres of land, while another farmer only has three acres, they both pay the same head tax."

"And the more tax categories there are, the more likely it is to cause confusion, and some officials may even impose taxes privately."

"If this continues, the people will become increasingly miserable and their morale will be weakened."

Chu Yuening appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him, hoping to convince Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and raised a hidden concern.

"Constructing the Great Wall and the Great Road has already cost a lot of money. The treasury is empty, and the government also needs money to maintain its operations."

Chu Yuening sighed slightly.

"A Zheng, our Great Qin has such a vast territory, but the population is only 20 million, and there are vast tracts of wasteland that no one cultivates."

"If we exempt people from corvée labor, encourage them to reclaim wasteland, and provide them with the magical sweet potato seeds, why should we worry about our granaries being full and our treasury being deficient?"

Chu Yuening did not take drastic measures to encourage the development of business.

At present, the Qin Dynasty is still based on agriculture, and land tax is the main source of national fiscal revenue.

Ying Zheng fell into deep thought and took a long time before asking.

"Yuening must have been prepared in advance. What can you do?"

Chu Yuening's eyes lit up. It seemed that A Zheng was persuaded by her.

"All taxes and corvée labor can be merged into the land tax and converted into currency, and no other miscellaneous taxes will be levied."

"This will not only prevent corruption among officials, but also make the collection process simple and clear."

She borrowed the one-whip method from the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with other tax laws, it is more suitable for the Qin Dynasty, which urgently needs stability.

The war has caused the common people of the world to lose their homes and loved ones.

Heavy taxes and harsh punishments will be the final straw that breaks the camel's back.

The seemingly stable and peaceful Qin Dynasty actually had hidden dangers buried deep inside.

But Chu Yuening cannot achieve success overnight, as institutional reforms will always affect the interests of others and cause resistance.

So she could only take it step by step, boiling the frog in warm water.

"This method is indeed good. I will summon all the ministers to discuss it tomorrow."

A faint smile appeared on Ying Zheng's lips.

Yue Ning is always so smart and cares about the world.

Contented Chu Yuening took the man's big hand and rubbed her little face on the back of his hand, as intimate as a kitten.

"I will face it together with A Zheng."
