Chapter 103 Reform! Although there are thousands of people, I will go

"Ha, Xianglong is here."

"Please to the teacher."

"Well, come and sit down."

"Thank you, teacher."

The Yang Mansion is located outside the suburbs of Zhongjing, not far from White Horse Temple. Everyone in Zhongjing knows who lives in Yang Mansion, which is Yang Shen, a Grand Secretary who was demoted more than ten years ago for writing a letter to a prince.

Grand Secretary Yang Shen retired from office because of this, and even the unparalleled Yang Party in the court at that time collapsed. Then there is a strange thing here: ordinary officials retire, and there is another sentence later, that is, you have to return to your hometown.

However, Yang Shen still lives in Zhongjing, which is really incomprehensible. Yang Shen was originally a son of Bazhou, the Yang family, the famous Yang family of Bazhou. Not only did Yang Shen come out, but he also had a cousin, who married Yiziwang Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-to-Side-Old King.

If we say that the Yang family is really powerful, it is quite impressive to call the wind and rain on the ground of Daqi.

But what did Tang Xianglong come to his teacher to do this day?

By the way, is this teacher Tang Xianglong also a member of the Communist Party?

"Xianglong, I've seen what you gave me before, okay! It's really good! I just don't know if Your Majesty has the courage to do it."

"Teacher, students think that this is an opportunity." Tang Xianglong said his thoughts one by one, "The war in the north is coming to an end. On the surface, my Great Qi won a great victory, and even the Northern Di who destroyed the Khitan did not dare to invade the south. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see clearly. The Palace Commander was dead, and the Wu family army was wearing a strong and held a sharp edge, so it was hard to bear it. This was when the Wu family won, and His Majesty lost. What did the teacher think?"

"That's right! Hahaha." Yang Shen laughed when he heard this.

At this time, Yang Shen was also very old, with his hair and beard and white. By the way, he was not as old as the king, but if the two stood together, they would definitely feel that he was older.

I'm afraid that it's because you use your brain to make people grow old faster

Tang Xianglong continued, "If that's the case, then Your Majesty can't lose anymore. The Wu family took Hetao and had a fertile land, and his strength doubled. Your Majesty must find other ways to fight against it. The thing written by the students is a good way, and the students think that if it can be formed, it will definitely change the atmosphere of the Great Qi country."

After hearing this, Yang Shen laughed and said, "I am happy to be a teacher with this ambition. But as a teacher, I have to say one thing, that is, most people who preside over the reform will not die well. Do I have the will to die?"

Tang Xianglong didn't say much, but stood up and bowed, "The saint said, even though there are thousands of people, I will go."

"Okay! OK! OK!" Yang Shenlian said three good words, and then he called the servant, "Come on, get the wine! I want to get drunk with Xianglong!"

"Students sacrifice their lives to accompany the teacher!"

"Hahaha"

On this day, the old and young drink together, the scholars are enthusiastic and drunk.

The next day, a note came to Zhao Qianyuan's table.

"The tax on tax will be cancelled and only the tax on land acres can be called "spending acres""

When Zhao Qianyuan saw this memorial, he wrote this memorial by Tang Xianglong, the Minister of Rites of the Cabinet, and was naturally very attentive. After seeing this, his eyebrows and eyes were stirred, and he was obviously shocked by the things in the memorial.

It is simple to say that it is easy to spread the minuscule, but how difficult it is to do it?

But if this is true, wouldn’t the Wu family army lose its advantage?

Back then, I was in danger and had no choice but to agree to so many conditions, so that Brother Li could let go of his hands and feet when recruiting soldiers. The soldiers of the Wu family no longer needed to plow the fields. They only had to train diligently throughout the day before they could have the invincible Wu family army.

In other words, if this method of digging into a mu was implemented, the advantages of the Wu family army would be gone. Zhao Qianyuan didn’t know the situation of the Wu family army at this time, and it would be difficult to recruit soldiers, especially in Liaodong.

After this method comes out, it will not be so attractive to join the Wu family army.

Then the Liaodong defense line can be sent to the imperial guards in just right terms. The King of Yan Wu Jingting could not say anything, even the King of Liang or his brother could not say anything.

However, there are several disadvantages. One is that the population of Liangxi Road and Liangdong Road may decrease. You should know that these two places are the northern defense lines. Although the Khitan Kingdom is defeated, the later Beidi is temporarily unable to move south.

But this is all temporary. If the Dingkou in these two places is greatly reduced, wouldn’t the defense line be in danger?

This is one of the first things, and the second thing is that this method is tax.

How could Zhao Qianyuan not know the importance of taxation?

This current emperor wanted to change the tax law very early, but this thing is not easy to move.

The world at present is a peaceful and prosperous era on the surface, and singing and dancing are rising, but behind the scenes, it is almost the same as in previous dynasties.

Daqi was no different from the previous dynasties. It focused on agriculture and suppressed commerce, and most of its taxes were obtained from farmers. But now, it has been peaceful for decades, and many bad things have happened.

The best thing is for ploughing people to have their own fields, but now many ploughing people do not have fields, and the fields belong to others. Some large households have thousands of acres of land, while others do not even have a penny.

How much tax can a person who doesn’t even have a field?

But everyone is the same for Ding Tax, so there will naturally be unfairness.

The tax paid by large households is similar to that of poor households. Who can bear it? How can you live?

Zhao Qianyuan is not a deaf and blind man. He knows these things. If he does not pay taxes based on the heads of the people but only the land acres, then this injustice can be improved and many big families will not be so arrogant.

But

This method is not that easy to do!

What kind of virtue do those big players have? How come Zhao Qianyuan has never seen them?

How much cowardly did the imperial prince suffer when the imperial turmoil?

I won’t talk about myself, even my father, and my treasury was empty and I wanted to borrow some money, but my grandfather, the queen’s father at that time, didn’t pay for it. I said that I only had some small business operations on weekdays. At that time, the prince Zhao Qianyuan was moved when he saw that his grandfather was talking about his sincere feelings.

But it was not until I ran out of Beijing that my grandfather was so luxurious that he even had a thin horse at home, and he didn't do anything like warming the bed, but just used their cherry mouths to receive phlegm.

What is the final result?

The rioters rushed into Luocheng, and my grandfather's family died without a complete body, hahaha

From then on, Zhao Qianyuan knew what a human heart was, and he would never believe it again.

The richer the guys, the more stingy they are. If you want to get some money out of their hands, it is like cutting out their flesh. Even if this money is buried in the ground by them, they will not even move for the rest of their lives. If you don’t need it, then they will be happy, even if you don’t spend it normally.

I remember when I was reading history, this was the case in the last Tang Dynasty. Some wealthy families clearly had silver and money, but they buried all these things in the soil and never used them.

There was even a Tang Emperor promulgated a decree that no one could store silver and copper in his home, and only part of his daily expenses would be used, and nothing else would be allowed, otherwise he would be beheaded.

To put it bluntly, at this time, Daqi actually couldn't collect the tax.

So, what's the difference now?

This method is good, but it needs to be implemented

"I said, that Tang Xianglong is Yang Shen's disciple, right?"

"Master, you have a good memory."

"Stop flattering, then do you think they all have a bit of a similar stinking voice?"

"Haha, I understand what you mean. Yang Shen was so stubborn back then, so his students would probably not be bad either. They must have the same temper as teachers."

"Hahahaha, the best thing about you is here, I know what you think."

"That's right. If you want to talk about this memorial, I don't know what to do. Then you must have a suggestion."

"nature!"

Zhao Qianyuan talked to Wei Fuli again, and I saw these comments today, and the second day

Then there was news that shocked all the ministers.

The court wanted to change the tax law and implement taxes and acres, and the person who presided over the presidency was the current cabinet Grand Secretary and the Minister of Rites Tang Xianglong!

"Oh, congratulations to Brother Xianglong!"

"Congratulations, Brother Xianglong's presidency of this reform will be rewarded for the future and the present."

"Brother Xianglong has already decided!"

The sound of flattery resounded throughout the imperial city after the court.

Tang Xianglong naturally understood in his heart that he had to face an extremely difficult situation, but he had already told the teacher that even if he was torn to pieces, he would change the world.

These ministers also understand, so these congratulations are actually slanderous words, waiting to see Tang Xianglong’s joke.

The changes in Zhongjing are really interesting, and there is another person, which is also difficult.

Wen Heng, the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor, is his job to observe the celestial phenomena at night, but there is one thing that is personally ordered by Wei Fuli, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor. But what about the current celestial phenomena?

The purple-Wei Star is dark and unclear, while Sirius is becoming brighter and brighter. This is obviously a crime against the Tianlang. Wen Heng felt that he would change this slightly, that is, the purple-Wei Star is as normal and there is no change in the others.

I just want to be able to get through, and I don’t think about anything else. Besides, it seems that no one else is watching this thing except myself, right?

I have to say that Wen Heng is still a smart guy. If he knows that if he wants to tell the truth, his old bones will probably be buried. What he thinks is that he should live a few more years.
Chapter completed!
