This is Wang Anshi's thought of political reform. People's taxes will not increase, and the money available to the country is sufficient. Social wealth is not a fixed number, but is constantly increasing through the continuous creation of value. The government can guide value creation through appropriate policies, and can satisfy "national use" through new wealth without increasing people's burden.

The law of enriching the country

1, young seedling method

In February and May every year, when crops fail, the government will give farmers loans and grain loans, with interest of two or three cents every six months, which will be returned with summer and autumn taxes respectively.

Greatly increased government revenue; It limits the exploitation of farmers by usury and alleviates class contradictions to some extent.

2, recruitment method (also known as the exemption method)

Instead of taking turns to serve as an official on a household basis, the government hires people to bear the burden, and private households who are unwilling to serve as officials pay a certain amount of money according to their wealth, which is called exemption money. Bureaucratic landlords are no exception.

The liberation of farmers from labor ensures the working time and promotes the development of production; Increased the government's fiscal revenue.

Ordering the whole country to clean up the land, verifying the land owners, and dividing the land into five grades according to the soil quality, which is the basis for collecting land tax. ?

Clean up a large number of hidden land, increasing government revenue; Some farmers are exempt from taxes and get benefits.
