"I know," Zhao Hanzhang said, "I've seriously thought about this matter. My plan is to grant tax exemptions to those with great achievements, ranging from hundreds to thousands of acres, but this measure should not extend to ordinary officials and aristocrats."
Zhao Hanzhang said, "If they make mistakes and are stripped of their positions and titles, then these exemptions will also be revoked, and any amount exceeding this limit must pay land taxes."
Zhao Ming could tell just by listening that there wouldn't be many such meritorious ministers.
Zhao Ming was particularly curious, "Your family's land taxes have always been exempt, and you've always been generous in other matters. Why are you so persistent with tax issues? It's rather stingy of you."
Zhao Hanzhang laughed, thought carefully, and said, "This is my long-term strategy. Uncle Ming, why do you think the magnificent Great Han fell?"
