Chapter 289 The poor Wu family
Mo Zizai didn't know Yuan Lianghan's plan, but he could tell with a little guess about this kind of thing.
When the treasury was poor, why did Tang Weiyi bear the pressure of all officials and not increase taxes? It was because as long as you sent the taxes, whoever you collected them, they would find a way to pass on this part of the taxes to the people in the end.
No, it is not just a transfer, they want more. As long as the court increases a tax, they dare to ask for two taels of liang from the people under their rule. In addition, the lower-level clerks and other officials, the at least three of them will be distributed to the people.
Although these three pieces were exposed by the people, after layers of exploitation, they may not even have one tenth of the pieces.
And only one-tenth of this is needed, after being received by the court, the military pay will be distributed to provide relief to the victims.
But whether it is distributing military pay or providing relief to disaster victims, it requires the hands of officials. But if you don’t get it, can you still be called an official?
Therefore, 10% of this money can be used to do practical things, even if the officials who handle it show mercy.
But after going around, the court still had no money, and the military pay and disaster situation were not alleviated, but the people who were taxed had a harder life.
So when you have no control over officials, it is simply not feasible to exploit the middle class, because no matter how much you take on them, they can pass it on to the people with their backhand. If that is the case, it will indirectly mean that you are exploiting the people and it is meaningless.
Now, although Mo Zizai has no control over the officials, he can't resist him from taking action.
Exploitation? What exploitation? It does not exist.
Is it not good to kill everything directly?
Although the current aristocratic class has played a role in stabilizing the lower-level order, while they have stabilized the order, they have also solidified the class, leaving the lower-level people without room for growth. However, they themselves are getting stronger and stronger by absorbing the blood of the lower-level people.
As a result, the living space of the lower-class people will be squeezed smaller and smaller. If they encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters again, they will have no way to survive and have no way to survive, break the original class, and reappear a ruler, and then repeat the path they took in the previous dynasty.
This kind of thing can never be avoided. Even in the science and technology society in Mo Zizai's previous life, it is difficult to solve this problem. He can only try to control or delay the occurrence of this situation. Mo Zizai naturally has no way to solve it.
But he didn't care about this matter. It was unrealistic to want any dynasty that never collapsed. Just manage your generation well.
Now that the class has been solidified, he will stand up and do what he should have done by the thief, sweep all these solidified aristocratic classes into the trash can.
Although a new family will definitely be born after the old family is cleared by him, it will take at least hundreds of years to re-solidate the class. If it happens a few hundred years later, no matter what he is doing, can he still live forever?
Thinking of this, Mo Zizai paused. This matter might be a bit of a play. Tang Weilu is now a human realm warrior. With her talent and accelerator, she may be able to really break through to the realm of the human realm.
Although it will not be immortal, there should be no problem in prolonging life, right?
