There are all kinds of very strange taxes besides agricultural taxes.

For example, the road tax
Walking is the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the road of the Great Song Dynasty that requires tax collection. Whether the road is built by farmers themselves or not, the government has to pay taxes.
There is also a well-drilling tax.
It’s also the same reason, because drilling wells in the land of the Song Dynasty is a resource of the Song Dynasty, and you have to pay taxes.
And the building tax.
You have to pay taxes for building houses on land in the Song Dynasty.
And firewood tax.
Cutting wood also requires tax. Because trees grow up, it is really unreasonable that Song land does not pay taxes.
The other is the water tax.
Carrying water is also a big song dynasty. If you don’t pay taxes, are you still a person?
These are all collected once in some cases, and sometimes for two years. In good times, there are also three times to collect taxes, which can ruin these people who can eat their stomachs.
And those hateful tax collectors still don’t give up and toss out a strange tax to kill chickens and fish.
The official saying is that it is unlucky to kill chickens and fish, so that God can see it. If he doesn’t respect it, he will have to pay taxes to make up for the loss.
So you have to pay taxes if you kill chickens and fish and cook them.
When all kinds of taxes are given to the Ministry, they are not given shit. After tax, the tax collectors have tossed out the concept of pre-tax collection
It’s hard to cope with this year’s tax revenue, so we can have a few full meals and have a birthday in a few days. As a result, the tax collectors are here again.
They said that the imperial court said that it was difficult for the imperial court to handle affairs this year, and they advanced the annual tax to you to get by, but they stopped collecting it this year.
Some old farmers are unwilling to pay taxes, so the tax collectors threaten them that they will not pay double taxes this year and next year! See if you pay!
How dare anyone there not pay taxes?
So they have paid taxes on their hard-earned income all year round, and it is really pitiful that they have to pay taxes several times for themselves.
Chapter 117 Ten thousand taxes in the Southern Song Dynasty
For Da Song people, the official dialect is close to the nonsense.
Obedience is equivalent to believing nonsense.
If you don’t listen, you will be eaten by ghosts.
They seem to have two choices, but there is actually one choice.
They can choose to pay taxes.
But this year, after paying the tax, you have to pay the annual tax, which is not the worst. The worst thing is that the annual tax has also been paid. When the government sees that they still have oil and water to squeeze, they say that the tax for the next year has been paid in advance and the tax for the next year will not be paid.
If they keep their word, they will forget it, but it happened that they never kept their word and never kept their promise, which is pure deception.
This year, it is treacherous to say year after year and say year after year and year after year to advance year after year.
Thirteen years after the old farmer’s office was taxed.
This is still good. He also heard that some places were received twenty-four years later, and there was an extreme place that was heard to be received twenty-seven years later.
Those local people have escaped, and the rest have become landlords and powerful tenants at home, or they are disabled and unable to escape without money, so they can continue to endure the oppression of the government.
The financial and demographic data of these places will collapse in a mess, and officials can’t even make ends meet. They can fake paper tax data to prevaricate the Lin’ an court
Anyway, Lin’ an court won’t really send people to investigate whether the tax data is true or not. The officials are also very clear about these things. If they know how bad the place is now, they will have no good results if they are forced to investigate it.
The only possibility is the emperor, but where can the emperor get the real data?
It is really unclear how much money his country has and how much money he should get if officials collude with each other and keep it from the emperor.
He can live officials, he weaves information cocoons, enjoys the pleasure this person feels, and enjoys the sense of accomplishment brought by Guotai Min An Sihai.
Even if a conscientious official occasionally tries to debunk this illusion of prosperity without political correctness, the emperor may not believe it.
So what if you doubt it?
Don’t let him go to the national treasury to count money by himself? Let him audit the accounts by himself? A sea of digital books. He wants to figure it out alone?
Because I deeply understand these reasons, it is not only the place where the imperial court in Lin’ an is rotten, but also the situation is very serious, which is worse than that in Lin’ an
Anyway, officials are all flow officials, and no one wants to leave after one or three years. No one wants to leave this kind of into the badlands, and they will not think about making any achievements, so here they are caught in an infinite loop.
The old farmer and his fellow villagers were tossed about by the government in various ways. The family was destitute. When bandits came, they had to look up and sigh, hide their faces and shed tears, and bluntly said that the dog officer would not let them live.
Now the peasant army has come and given them fields, houses, farm tools, cattle and other livestock, so that they can have peace of mind to produce.
Not only that, but the tax is so low. There are agricultural taxes and temporary war taxes. What are they dissatisfied with?
Yu-cheng zhao heard the in the mind very not taste.
He has never heard of some taxes in the Southern Song Dynasty even in the Jin Dynasty. Doesn’t this mean that the taxes in the Jin Dynasty are softer than those in the Southern Song Dynasty?
It’s true that there is no harm without comparison
"Kill the chicken and kill the fish and pay taxes? This is really unheard of. "
The old farmer smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"What is this? The little old man heard that after twenty-seven years of collecting taxes, the county had to pay taxes even after defecating and urinating! "
"Is there such a thing? ！”
Zhao Yucheng was shocked. "Do you have to pay taxes when you shit and pee?"
"I’m scared. I’ve never heard of such a thing, but it’s true."
The old farmer said with a wry smile, "When the peasant army and the Renaissance Association didn’t come in a few years ago, people here were all ghosts and starved to death every day. It’s not a rare thing to be satisfied today. I dare not be dissatisfied."
"Don’t say you can’t live without your taxes."
Zhao Yucheng holds the old farmer’s hand. "These are all things that you should get. When the war is over, let’s put out the war tax of Song State. If you don’t accept the day, how can you live? After that, you should eat and drink, and you won’t suffer any more."
The old farmer is full of wrinkled faces and smiles like chrysanthemums.
"Those tax collectors can’t believe a word you say!"
Zhao Yucheng wrote to Su Yonglin about what he saw and heard along the way, and told Su Yonglin that he decided to levy a temporary war tax to contribute to the development of the peasant army on Jiangnan West Road.
Adding a tax is to prevent the Southern Song Dynasty from coming back to collect more taxes. He decided that the struggle on Jiangnan West Road would last until the big army faced south.
Even if there are millions of troops, he will never give up. If it’s a big deal, he will go back to fight guerrilla warfare in the mountains of Luo Xiao. In general, he will fight this group of unscrupulous people here to the end!
They are too much to let them continue to rule for a week or so, and sooner or later they will toss off the popularity here and make it a deserted place.
How can we let them go on fooling around?
At the same time, in order to ridicule the Southern Song Dynasty, he personally wrote a couplet and asked people to post it at the gate of the headquarters office of Nanchang Peasant Army to celebrate the arrival of Hongwu’s fifth year of the New Year.
Lian is "never heard of dung tax"
The couplet is "now there is nothing left to donate"
