Chapter 1079 Tax-free

Things have priority. It is obvious that the state-owned land that Zhang Nan told Comrade Li was much more important than Zhang Nan planned to use it to chew up the economy of Chang'an City.

Zhang Nan's plan to help the people of the Tang Dynasty build a chicken farm and a spice farm with this plan was temporarily left behind by Comrade Lao Li.

After all, this thing did not help Comrade Lao Li to rule the Tang Dynasty, but land ownership was enough. So Zhang Nan could only help Comrade Lao Li solve the problem of land ownership first.

Comrade Lao Li is still very interested in the issue of state-owned land raised by Zhang Nan.

At least in Comrade Lao Li's opinion, if this matter is handled properly, it will be able to prolong the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty. He was also an emperor who set such a precedent. How could Comrade Lao Li, who valued fame so much, miss this opportunity to leave a name in history?

Zhang Nan followed Comrade Lao Li to the Imperial Study Room. After waiting for less than twenty minutes, the people who received the message from Comrade Lao Li also came to the Imperial Study Room one after another.

Everyone saw Zhang Nan in the imperial study room and could roughly guess why Comrade Lao Li called them over.

It must be Zhang Nan who brought something to Comrade Lao Li again, so Comrade Lao Li was so anxious to call everyone over.

"Your Majesty, has Qingquan proposed something constructive again?" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but ask when he saw that Comrade Li had not spoken for a long time.

"Oh? How did Xuanling know? Could it be that Qingquan just took advantage of the time of going to the toilet and let you get angry in advance?" Comrade Li also smiled and joked.

"That's not. I just met Zhijie on the way here. Zhijie didn't know why you summoned us so urgently, so we made a bet." Fang Xuanling also explained with a smile.

"Oh? What bet did you make?" Comrade Lao Li also asked curiously.

"Just just now, Zhijie said on the road, "Your Majesty, you must have a station to the public. I said that Qingquan must have mentioned something again, so the emperor would have summoned us. Just now, I saw Qingquan in the imperial study room, and I felt that I should have guessed it right." Fang Xuanling also said with a smile.

"Haha, Zhijie, why do you think about fighting a war every day? Isn't it good to have a peaceful country and a peaceful people?" Comrade Li smiled and pointed at Cheng Yaojin and said.

Hearing Comrade Old Li say this, Cheng Yaojin scratched his big head with a little embarrassed expression, and then said, "Hi, Master, you also know, have you been transferred to the Air Force now? How can this battle be ignored, reflect the value of our Air Force?"

When Cheng Yaojin said this, everyone started to laugh.

"Haha, you, don't worry, the hegemony of the Tang Dynasty has not been completed yet. You are still fighting this battle." Comrade Li said.

After everyone calmed down, Comrade Li said: "Today, I urgently summoned all my dear friends to share with you a policy proposed by Qingquan to me, called "land state-owned land."

Comrade Lao Li said this, and everyone's faces showed a look of curiosity.

"Come on, Qingquan, let me tell you all the good friends what this land state ownership is. You must explain it clearly and clearly." Comrade Li said.

After hearing this, Zhang Nan also complained silently in his heart: "I'm afraid you've just heard it yourself."

But Comrade Li had a request, so Zhang Nan could only do it. Then Zhang Nan honestly explained to everyone what state-owned land is.

After Zhang Nan finished explaining, Comrade Li said, "My dear friends, do you think this matter is feasible."

"If you come back to the emperor, if this matter can be implemented, it will be of no harm to my Tang Dynasty. However, how to implement it effectively needs to be considered." Changsun Wuji, as a loyal fan of Comrade Li, was naturally the first to stand up and talk about it.

Fang Xuanling nodded after hearing this, and then said, "Mr. Changsun is right, but I still have some objections to it, that is, if the people's land tax is really exempted, will it be a bit too hasty? After all, once this thing is exempted, it will definitely not be re-exhausted, otherwise it will be a major blow to the prestige of our court."

"Yes, I think so too. After all, local tax is also an important source of my country's treasury revenue. If exempted, will it have a certain impact on our treasury?" Changsun Wuji continued.

"Haha, I have to ask Cui Shao this question, Cui Shao, what do you think?" Comrade Li said, turning his face to Cui Shao, who was standing aside and not speaking.

"According to the current state treasury and taxes, it is completely okay to exempt local taxes and agricultural taxes." Cui Shao also bowed and said truthfully.

"I said to Lord Cui, you are the Minister of Revenue, don't talk nonsense about political achievements." Cheng Yaojin arrived.

Hearing Cheng Yaojin say this, Cui Shao immediately gave Cheng Yaojin a roll of his eyes, and then said, "Is this kind of person I am? What do you know, you are a rough man?"

"Your Majesty, do you know what the current tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty is mainly based on?" Cui Shao asked with his hands.

"This... is naturally a land tax, after all, this is a tax that all the people in the world have to pay." Comrade Li said.

After hearing this, Cui Shao also smiled and shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Now the commercial tax has completely exceeded the income of land tax and agricultural tax. Since the Tang Dynasty began to vigorously develop business, the commercial tax has been higher year by year. By this year, the commercial tax has accounted for almost 60% of the Tang Dynasty. The remaining 40% are shared by other taxes such as agricultural tax and land tax. Therefore, it is completely OK for you to cancel these two taxes."

"Oh? The business tax is so powerful?" It is obvious that even Comrade Li himself did not expect that the business tax could have such a high income.

"No," Cui Shao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, although canceling taxes is a good policy, the nationalization of land will probably cause a strong backlash from the nobles." After Changsun Wuji said that, he glanced at Cui Shao secretly.

In fact, Changsun Wuji originally wanted to say that it would cause a strong backlash from the aristocratic families, but due to Cui Shao's presence, this statement must not be said, so Changsun Wuji changed the statement.

"Hahaha, Master, if you really want to implement this, I will be the first to return the land you rewarded me." Cheng Yaojin also stood up and said.
