Chapter 1309: Time does not wait for me
In Qi, wealthy families control large tracts of land and therefore control a large population. They have huge power and complex forces. When the imperial court's government orders arrive, they can be promoted if they get the support of these wealthy families. On the contrary, it will be difficult to move forward in a long time since Qi established its country for hundreds of years. On the surface, it is still prosperous and the leader of all countries. However, in secret, it is already full of holes and it is difficult for outsiders to see the secrets. However, the real ruler in Qi has long been anxious.
The country's tax revenue is decreasing year by year, and a large amount of taxes are inexplicably lost, the farmland is decreasing, and the population is decreasing, and everything reflected in the books is decreasing, but in fact it is not like this. After more than a hundred years of reclaiming, the land is increasing. Qi has always been the leader of all countries, and no one dares to provoke it. The early Three Kingdoms Alliance resisted Qi just to protect itself, so the population of Qi is actually increasing, but these did not bring any actual benefits to the court, but were all in the hands of local wealthy families.
All kinds of hidden fields are hidden, and the shaded fields are not included in the account. Naturally, the people affiliated to the land are not included in the ranks of those who should pay taxes. The wealthy families make a fortune by making a fortune. Those hidden families, because they are attached to the wealthy families, can actually pay less taxes, so they are naturally happy.
The commercial tax in Ming Dynasty was originally 20 tax one, but later it advanced to 10 tax one. Since last year, Geng Mingming began to implement a check-in collection, which almost captured all the business in the Ming Dynasty. The large amount of commercial tax revenue far exceeded the income from the agricultural tax, which also allowed the Ming Dynasty to significantly reduce the burden on farmers. The low burden on farmers in the Ming Dynasty made the people of Qi stagger.
Farming is the foundation of the country, without farming, it will be unstable
There are many talented people in Qi. When they saw the source of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, they naturally wanted to follow suit. But the problem is that the policies that the Ming Dynasty could implement were based on the wealthy families in the pre-Eighth era, which were almost destroyed in the wars. The rest, in the face of a powerful army, could only choose to cooperate, either survive or destroy. They no longer had the capital to compete with the state power.
But Qi State is different. The resources in the hands of wealthy families are enough to compete with the country. If Qi people want to reform, they must first solve this problem.
Cao Tiancheng worked hard for several years and finally achieved results. Now it is the last moment of hard work. Various counterattacks come. This is the most difficult moment. After till it passes through, a brand new Da Qi will be born. If you can't get through, Da Qi will fall step by step into the abyss of destruction in the following years.
Cao Yunzhi's anger lies in the fact that these wealthy families were originally blood-sucking insects that depended on the country. They only wanted to absorb nutrients in the shelter body, but did not want to contribute to the health of the shelter body. For these people, the prosperity of the country has no practical significance for them. The big king flag on the city wall is really not good, so they change another master.
Dynasties can be changed, but their clans that occupy the local area will be passed down forever
"This is a war!" He looked at Xian Bisong and said, "And it is a more complicated and harder war than a foreign war. The so-called "slaughtering a rat" is the reason. We want to eradicate these cancers, but we don't want to destroy the precious porcelain of Daqi. We can only do it step by step and be careful."
Xian Bisong nodded. He naturally understood this principle. He could see and touch foreign enemies, just like he confronted Wu Ling. You stabbed, I shot, and killed each other, and they were all in the open.
"In fact, the overall form is still good." Cao Yun breathed a long sigh: "In recent years, Your Majesty has solved many problems. Some loyal ministers like you have worked hard and Da Qi has become much better than before. Yu Shao is not a strong man in the outside world. This is why Your Majesty is determined to test the Ming Dynasty and fight with Ming Dynasty."
"Where did you do what? Don't you dare to receive the reward without merit?" Xian Bisong shook his head and said
Cao Yun smiled: "How can you be rude? In the past few years, you have been in Changning County, preparing for war, and gradually removed the children of those aristocratic families from the army, and truly turned the army under your command into an army belonging to the court and His Majesty. This is a great achievement. If those aristocratic families did not feel that the end of the world was approaching, how could they launch a rebellion in Bozhou in a crazy way?"
"It would be better if I didn't choose the Zhou family in Bozhou back then." Xian Bisong sighed: "The court never thought that the Zhou family was a pirate family. They could not settle on land, and could they still survive on sea? Now they are making trouble, which is more difficult to deal with than on land."
"It's not a mistake. Two evils are the least. Bozhou is not in the vital place after all. Even if it is chaotic, it will be limited and will not hurt the fundamentals. The other places are different. Originally, the Zhou navy was brought to the Jinghu war zone, which was to have the idea of both the Chu navy and the Chu navy. I don't think that Zhou Shuguang is very stunning. A cicada escaped from the shell and escaped from heaven, and even colluded with the Ming people. But it's okay. Even though they were traversing on the sea, the land was still our world. We should use this rebellion to severely attack the arrogance of these wealthy families, so that they can understand who is the master of the Great Qi world. After turning back, we will handle the matters at sea in an orderly manner. With the foundation of the Great Qi, it will not take a few years."
"The Grand Marshal said it is!" Xian Bisong smiled and said, "The Grand Marshal recommended Guo Shuai and put Zhou Jiyun in Kunling County. It seemed that he gave Zhou Lingyun a great opportunity to make achievements, but in fact he dragged all the wealthy families into the battle against Chu. Until today, the last generals saw the clues here. The Grand Marshal's good methods."
"I also brought it with me," Cao Yun said with some regret: "It's a pity that he is still a child of aristocratic family after all. He cannot escape the influence of the aristocratic family. It's also a pity that he has no good ending. He is indeed a good handsome talent!"
"The higher the talent, the greater the harm!" Xian Bisong said decisively
"It's true!" Cao Yun nodded, closed his head slightly, and leaned his head on the wall of the car behind him. He seemed very tired. Xian Bisong knew that Cao Yun was heartbroken. Most of the generals under Zhou Jiyun were from aristocratic families, but those people grew up step by step under the command of the Grand Marshal. But in the end, the Grand Marshal planned to send them to the underworld road step by step. Even if they didn't die in the hands of the Chu people, they would eventually fall into the hands of Daqi's own people, either on the battlefield or in the prison.
He also fell silent, saying that he was different and did not plan for each other. There was nothing to say. The general had the same feelings as licking the calf, but he did not. In his opinion, any guy who poached the country's corners would be dead. What's more, he was a poor family, who struggled to this position today, and he was lucky and won by fighting with the children of the aristocratic families all the time. However, there were still countless people like him who fell in this process. Anyone who could make a name for himself in Daqi, at least ten hundred people who were as talented as his Xian Bisong fell down.
So when Xian Bisong took over the power of the family, he suddenly realized that he was not ruthless in dealing with the children of the aristocratic families. Or it was his subconscious actions that made the emperor notice him and he was promoted and reused. Earlier, he was just a general who was not outstanding by Guo Xiancheng and Guo Dashen. But now he is in the position of Princess Changning, taking charge of the army and dismounting the horse to control the people. He has tens of thousands of troops under his command, and has been directly or indirectly under the jurisdiction of millions of people under his jurisdiction.
The times create heroes, not heroes create momentum! He sighed in his heart, if it weren't for the reform of the Daqi family and the elimination of the aristocratic families, he would probably not have been able to reach this position now.
"Master, the last general has prepared a banquet in Changning County. I know that the Master is not luxurious, that is, some military dishes, and I also ask the Master to give him a look. The generals in the army, as well as some soldiers who have made great contributions on the battlefield, are all looking forward to seeing the Master!" Xian Bisong smiled and said with a smile.
"Military dishes?" Cao Yun opened his eyes, "Big bowl of wine and big bowl of meat, haha, it's really like a dream, Xiao Song, thank the generals and soldiers for me, it's not convenient for me to go."
"Master, now you are on the envoy of your Majesty, you are an envoy of the Great Qi Dynasty. The aisle Changning will be used to inspect and reward the army for Your Majesty, and you will not cause gossip." Xian Bisong advised
"I am an ambassador is different from other ambassadors!" Cao Yun shook his head. "Other people can go, but I can't. At this moment, I won't worry about His Majesty and go directly to the border. Don't waste time. Go to Ming Kingdom earlier. To be honest, I am full of expectations for my trip to Ming Kingdom! I really want to see the Qin Feng who created such a miracle earlier!"
"Why is this?" Xian Bisong whispered
Cao Yun smiled and stopped explaining. Now he can not contact the army without contacting the army.
Changzhu, Fan Chang was trembling with excitement, without any signs. Yang Xiaoya had a whole cavalry battalion and suddenly arrived at the front line. After their positions, they set up camp. Before he could come back to his senses, the general Wuling's central army banner appeared in Changzhu. As the supreme commander of the Wuling War Zone, the general ruled the three counties of Yiyang, Wuling and Taoyuan. The central army headquarters had always been stationed in Zhaoguan. Now he suddenly came to Changzhu. Is it necessary to launch a large-scale attack on Changning County?
Fan Chang was a little confused because, except for Yang Xiaoya's cavalry camp, and the Fuyuan camp of General Wang Yun, they belonged to, there were no other troops coming up. Although the general arrived, the cheetah camp personally led by the general did not arrive in Changzhu.
