As the chief minister of the cabinet who has carried out many reform measures.
Zhang Zhengming is fully qualified to express this opinion.
Because he did it in the beginning.
I have encountered such a dilemma.
And these words also made Wei Yunyi's eyes light up.
Yes, what Zhang Zhengming said is absolutely right.
What I thought before was that after implementing the land-based tax system, the benefits would be huge and would greatly increase my luck.
But I never thought about the difficulties and obstacles that would be encountered in the process of implementing this move.
The poll tax has been implemented in this world for thousands of years.
Just like what the other party said, it is a system that everyone tacitly accepts.
This has been the case throughout history.
Now if we want to abolish it completely.
The degree of difficulty can be imagined.
Even in the previous life, the land-based tax system was successfully implemented because it catered to the development of history and all conditions were nearly mature.
But even so, they still encountered many troubles during the process and the baby almost died in the womb.
In particular, as Zhang Zhengming said, after the implementation of the land-based tax system, some problems will arise that cannot be resolved.
This made Wei Yunyi understand even more clearly.
because.
Anyone who has studied middle school history should know this.
In ancient feudal dynasties, the ruler was the emperor on the surface.
Because the emperor has supreme power, it seems that whatever he says is the law.
But what is the reality?
That’s not the case at all!
In the feudal era, the real rulers were the vast landlords and the gentry.
They seemed to obey the orders of the emperor and the court, but that was only on the surface.
Because after a decree is issued, the real executors are these people. If it is in their interests, then it can naturally be implemented smoothly, but what if it is not?
If this decree wants to be implemented, it will encounter numerous difficulties and obstacles, and even if it succeeds in the end, it will have little effect.
Of course, the emperor holds great power and can enforce his policies with thunder and lightning.
However, this will definitely arouse the disgust and hatred of the landlords and the gentry.
They may tolerate it the first time, the second time, and the third time.
But once the real core interests are violated.
These people will rise up in resistance.
The best-case scenario is that it will cause chaos throughout the country.
As for the worst-case scenario, there is no need to think about it at all. That is, someone will rise up and establish a new dynasty!
This is not a fantasy.
But it actually happened in history, and more than once.
Thinking of this, Wei Yunyi felt more and more that what Zhang Zhengming said was correct. Obviously, this was what the other party was worried about.
You are indeed worthy of being my guiding light in the sea of suffering.
Get to the heart of the matter.
This person has thought of things that others have not thought of.
This was especially confirmed when he saw that the three grand secretaries frowned and looked unhappy when they read the contents of the memorial.
So at this moment, because of Zhang Zhengming's enlightenment, Wei Yunyi changed his mind and chose to support Song Gongwen!
Because the head tax was abolished and the tax was transferred to the fields,
Isn’t this equivalent to infringing on the interests of these people?
If the process continues to mess up, it will definitely cause chaos in the court, causing a significant decline in luck, and then exchange a large amount of tyrant points, and maybe even be able to directly buy elixirs that can make you become an immortal immediately!
As for whether this move will cause a fatal blow to the entire Wei Dynasty.
Wei Yunyi was not worried at all, because the Great Wei was now in the rising period of the empire.
As the system shows, it is impossible to rely on the land tax system to destroy the fortune of more than 800,000 and cause the collapse of the dynasty.
At worst, I can intervene when the time comes. As long as I get the tyrant value, I can stop it in time.
National policies are dead, but people are alive.
Besides, he is the emperor!
Well, that's it.
The haze that had previously afflicted Wei Yunyi was swept away.
Without hesitation, he pondered for a moment and said, "Taifu, you are wrong. Although the land tax is relatively sudden, you also know that taxation is an important source of the court's finances. Moreover, once this move can be successfully implemented, the benefits will be unimaginable."
"So I think this memorial from the father-in-law is very good. Not only can we not give up, we need to strongly support it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Song Gongwen's heart began to tremble and he became very excited.
I knew it, I knew it!
Your Majesty is so wise that he will definitely support the equalization of land tax and will support it strongly!
Do you think I'm right?
Song Gongwen was speechless at this moment.
But his heart was filled with endless emotion, because he knew that his ambition could really be realized.
But the difference is that the other three university scholars present all changed their expressions after hearing this.
In fact, they also know the benefits of equalizing the land tax.
But this is what happens.
It will cause many problems.
Especially the few people present here, they also have interests involved.
But none of them spoke, because they knew that the Grand Tutor also opposed it, and it was not their turn to speak.
As expected, Zhang Zhengming's face turned grim. He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this absolutely cannot happen. The current tax system was established during the reign of the previous emperor. It is already close to perfection and cannot be changed!"
After saying this, he knelt on the ground and expressed his opinion with practical actions.
Wei Yunyi also expected Zhang Zhengming's reaction.
Because of the tax system designated by the previous emperor.
