As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who are wearing their feet. If Han Zhongwei raised taxes on the hard-working people in the world, he would be really careful. Of course, with Han Zhongwei's personality, such a thing would not happen. But if officials and gentry were to pay food together, such things would not be possible even if they did it a few more times. Without the support of the general public, if these people dared to resist, they would only increase Han Zhongwei's warehouse, and nothing could be changed.

Li Quanyi asked his daughter Concubine Li to invite Tian Fenggu, but at this time Tian Fenggu was unable to get out of his house and could not even leave the house. The people sent by the Li Mansion were blocked by a mile away from the Tian Mansion. In front of them were all officials' sedan chairs and carriages, so the people from the Li Mansion could not fly into the Tian Mansion.

When Li Quanyi heard the servant's return, his face was unstable. He quickly called his daughter. If the taxes in the Li family could not be paid accordingly, the Li family would be destroyed. Tian Fenggu would definitely be able to do such a thing. Su Ziren, the Minister of Rites, was appointed as an official in one word by him. Then he was convicted of the family. He heard that Su Ziren had more than one million trump cards for embezzlement and bribery alone, and had been sentenced to beheaded. Now, is it the Li family's turn to do such a thing?

"Daughter, my good daughter, you must go and have a relationship with Lord Tian. It's not that our Li family does not pay taxes, but that we really don't have the chance to pay taxes. Today, the people who pay taxes outside the Ministry of Revenue have arrived at the second street. At this speed, our family may not be able to pay within ten days. At that time, the conviction will be made. Your elder brother and other brothers will be appointed as officials. My Li family will be finished." Li Quanyi held Concubine Li's hand and said crying.

"Father, I have asked you to pay taxes for a long time. You have to delay this day. Now, you may not be able to pay it if you want to pay it." Concubine Li also heard about Su Ziren. She did not expect that the court would have such thunderous means. She was a second-rank official and more than a dozen ministers above the fourth-rank. She said she would be appointed as an official.

"I know now, but it's not too late. As long as you contact Lord Tian, ​​the glory and wealth of my Li family will not have any impact," Li Quanyi said hurriedly.

"Father actually doesn't need to be too careful. Lord Tian sent someone to send a letter to his daughter in the afternoon. The Ministry of Revenue will collect taxes at night, and even work all night long. As long as you prepare the taxes you deserve, you will definitely pay the tax within ten days. But one thing is that the court should not pay the money for this tax collection, only gold, silver and copper coins." Concubine Li said. At first, she felt that it was a bit inexplicable for Tian Fenggu to bring her such a letter, but later she heard the discussions of the people saying that the current official family must pay taxes within ten days, otherwise all officials will be appointed and investigated by the court. The court is asking you for trouble, and there is no excuse for what? Keep it in mind and check it out, and no one will be spared.

"Okay, I'll be relieved now." Li Quanyi then remembered to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead. As long as he could pay the tax within the specified time, no matter how much he had to pay, it would be fortunate that he could protect the glory and wealth of the Li family.

When Tian Fenggu's mansion posted such a notice, the officials surrounding his house finally slowly dispersed. As long as the Ministry of Revenue sends additional personnel and collects taxes at night, no matter how many officials in the capital are, they can pay all the taxes within ten days. Even if the court deliberately makes a bad move, it is OK to fight against the sky and the earth, but don't fight against Tian Fenggu, don't fight against the court.

Under Su Ziren's previous experience, the officials and gentry in the capital soon surrendered to the new order of the court. Although this would reduce their income by 10%, what is this result compared to their official position, wealth and life? Although some people in other places outside the capital want to be the first to be successful, the army of Han Zhongwei's reorganization is not a vegetarian. As long as they dare to resist taxes, the outcome will be tragic. The leader will definitely be killed, all their property will be confiscated, and their families will become civilians. Let them create wealth with their own hands.

Tax reform first showed results. Sixty percent of the land in the Jin Dynasty had reached the names of officials and gentry. Now the new tax law policy has made all land pay taxes. This has made the already dry treasury suddenly become abundant. After the tide of tax payment, Han Zhongwei formulated a new monetary system. Originally, the Jin Dynasty issued a large amount of money, but as the court had no money, it printed a lot of money. Anyway, the orthogonal money was not needed. If the national treasury was short of money, it would be easier to print more money.

Originally, Han Zhongwei meant to issue a new banknote to replace the current banknote. Now, the banknote is worth a lot of depreciation. Five years ago, the banknote could be exchanged for 800 coins, but now, the banknote can only be exchanged for one copper coin, which is a full depreciation of 800 times. In this case, everyone lost confidence in the banknotes issued by the court. Han Zhongwei was newly in power, and he has not yet gained the credit of the people of the whole country. Therefore, the rash occurrence of new banknotes will only intensify the conflict between the government and the people.

Therefore, Han Zhongwei decided to establish a central bank, issue gold and silver coins, and restore the copper coins that were no longer in circulation. Of course, in order to win the hearts of the people, the first thing was to recycle all private money exchanged. At the current market price, money exchanged can only be exchanged for one copper coin for a period of three months. After three months, the government will abolish money exchanged.

In order to successfully recover the money that has been trampled among the people, the central bank also quickly established branches in various cities and counties. After gold and silver coins were minted, these branches and branches immediately entered normal operation. Of course, in addition to exchange money, banks also accept savings. Unlike some other money banks that accept deposits and require depositors to pay, newly established banks, as long as you deposit money, not only will they not charge money, but on the contrary, they will also pay you a certain amount of interest every year.

The gold coins and silver coins were quickly accepted by the people because of the cashing of the money. The gold coins and silver coins were printed very exquisitely, with patterns on the sides. One gold coins is equivalent to six silver coins, and one silver coins can be cashed in one thousand small copper coins. Of course, the gold coins and silver coins made by the court were not full of gold and silver, and about 20% of other impurities were seeped into it. However, this was to enhance the appearance of the gold and silver coins. At the same time, Han Zhongwei could not work for free, and he had to make money. Although a silver coin was also one tael, if you exchanged one tael of silver for a silver coin, you would actually suffer a little loss. Although it was only about 20%, compared to such a large base in the country, Han Zhongwei's investment was tens of millions of qians.

Moreover, since the bank is run by the court and its branches are spread all over the country, it is really convenient for withdrawing money from other places. Although it requires a certain fee, compared with security, the convenience of withdrawing money from other places completely offsets the handling fee.

Banks are a new thing. The people's ideas are the most at ease with their money. But for merchants, it is much more convenient to deposit money in the bank. First of all, they no longer need to raise so many servants at home to prevent theft, nor have they have to worry about their money day and night, which makes them often sleep peacefully at night. Finally, and the most important point is that their bulk purchases and shipments are completely available to the bank, and they no longer need to be as they did in the past, which greatly increases their safety and improves efficiency.

Moreover, there is a bank that does not have new functions. Although the original bank also has loan business, it is basically equivalent to placing money. However, the bank's loan is not successful. The interest rate is very reasonable and the annual interest rate is only about 5%. As long as you can provide a guarantee, the bank will lend them the urgently needed funds of merchants to allow them to turn over.

Pay interest on deposits and light interest on loans. These two items basically make other money banks lose their survival foundation. Although they can also deposit and pay interest like banks and provide loans. However, the newly established industrial and commercial bureaus of provinces, cities and counties may not agree. Han Zhongwei mainly set two responsibilities of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau: manage business and provide services to merchants and craftsmen. The Industrial and Commercial Bureau also took on the task of labor referees. The shop assistants and workshop craftsmen can file complaints to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau if they have any trouble.

When the currency reform is almost done, Han Zhongwei will prepare to overhaul the infrastructure, water conservancy, flood control, and official roads. These infrastructure construction will greatly boost the national economy.

In addition to education, Han Zhongwei stipulated that every township must have an official institution and every province must have a university. In addition to various schools of thought, this university also needs to teach agricultural craftsmen and other skills, vigorously promote agricultural reforms, so that knowledge will no longer serve officials but also play a role in technological innovation.

In this regard, the State of Song has always been at the forefront, but the craftsmen of the State of Song have not had a high social status, and even the craftsmen with superb skills can only make ends meet. Therefore, at the suggestion of Han Zhongwei, a large number of excellent craftsmen of the State of Song were sent to the Central Plains. Here, in addition to providing technical innovations for various workshops, they also had to teach their skills at universities.

Of course, many people still can't understand the need to impart their own skills to others for free. Therefore, Han Zhongwei was not stingy in rewards. The superb technicians and craftsmen who taught in universities could be appointed as officials of the sixth rank, and their monthly salary was three times higher than that of officials at the same level. At the same time, as long as they were willing, their families could move in, and everyone could arrange work and housing.

The status of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were originally inferior to that of farmers, but now there are some craftsmen who can be regarded as sixth-rank officials and do nothing in college. They only need to take two hours of classes a day to get a generous salary. Don’t say that they didn’t expect such a good thing, I’m afraid they have never heard of it since ancient times.

Infrastructure requires a large number of manpower, and the troops in the army that were not favored by Han Zhongwei were cut down and became road construction teams. The land of the Jin Kingdom was much larger than that of Xixia. If the official roads in the country were combined, they would be at least 50,000 miles, more than ten times more than Xixia. Therefore, infrastructure can ensure that the Jin Kingdom did not need to worry about the economy within three years.

The reform of the Jin Dynasty came to an end because of infrastructure, and the next step was the Western Xia. With the successful economy of the Jin Dynasty, Li Zunxu of the Xixia Zhongxing Prefecture cooperated very well. Han Zhongwei could solve the Great Jin Dynasty without any bloodshed. If Li Zunxu had any ideas, he would be the birthday boy hanging himself and seeking death.

Han Zhongwei's handling of the Li family in Xixia was much lighter than that of the Wanyan family. First of all, the property of all royal relatives could be retained, and even those who were capable among them could continue to stay and serve the court. Of course, the court soon was no longer the court of Xixia, but the court where Xixia and the Jin Kingdom were united.

Secondly, the Li family royal family was not banned. They could choose any place as their residence, but the premise was that they had to temporarily leave Zhongxing Mansion and could only move back three years later. At that time, except for the palace, any other property belonged to them, including shops, houses, etc.

Li Zunxu was also very satisfied with Han Zhongwei's arrangement. Of course, he was not as free as others. As the last emperor of the Western Xia, he had to ensure that he would appear in the sight of Han Zhongwei at any time. Until Han Zhongwei felt that Li Zunxu could no longer be his threat. At Han Zhongwei's current development speed, this day was not too far away, and even Li Zunxu himself could feel this.

He had an agreement with Han Zhongwei. If Han Zhongwei could overthrow the Dajin within ten years, he would have to give in. Now, in just over two years, Wanyan Yongji arrived in Shangjing, and it would be difficult for him to set foot in the Central Plains in this life. It is precisely because of this that Li Zunxu was deeply afraid of Han Zhongwei's strength. There would definitely be no good end to oppose such a person. His future emperor Li An and the last emperor of Dajin Wanyan Yongji are all proofs. Now, he is just following the trend and does not have much burden or guilt in his heart.

"Your Majesty, let's go."

"Okay, let's go." Li Zunxu glanced at the palace he had been crazy about for the last time, and resolutely turned around and put down the curtain. He never lifted it up until he left Zhongxing Mansion.

With the Jin Dynasty model, Han Zhongwei's people officially took over Xixia on the surface, so Han Zhongwei's people would be much easier. Originally, the army of Zhongxing Prefecture was Han Zhongwei's escort army. In this exchange of imperial power, everything seemed calm. The following tax policies, gold coins, silver coins and banks were also going smoothly in Xixia.

As for schools in various places, Han Zhongwei had been committed to doing this, and now he would continue to do it. Infrastructure, as early as when Li An became emperor, Han Zhongwei helped Xixia build a five-thousand-mile official road. At that time, toll stations were built, and each toll station had 100 troops stations. Now the official road needs to be built, mainly the road between Xixia and the Great Jin. Because Han Zhongwei, Xixia and the Great Jin will become a whole, it is said that Xixia annexed the Great Jin or the Great Jin annexed the Western Xia. From then on, Xixia and the Great Jin will become the jurisdiction of Han Zhongwei.

On August 1, 1199, Han Zhongwei returned to Heicheng where he became famous. Here, Han Zhongwei summoned all his confidants to discuss matters. They had only one issue, what is the name of the country after the merger of the Dajin and Xixia, what is the name of Han Zhongwei?

"Everyone, thank you for your hard work over the years. I came to Heicheng eight years ago. Brother Zhang Zhongtong was the brothers of Ding Chuan. Brother Ding Chuan helped me build a Dake cement factory in Heicheng. Today, we have taken Dajin and Xixia into our hands. In just eight years, I am proud of you and proud of you. Without your hard work, I would not have achieved such a success. Without your full cooperation, I would not have been able to step on Dajin and Xixia under my feet."

Han Zhongwei looked at Zhang Zhongtong, Ding Chuan, Li Xiongba, Xin Jiqi, Du Gao, Tian Fenggu, Ma Wanli, Han Zhongyi, Li Tian, ​​Dai Licheng and others around him. Some of these people followed him from the beginning, and some joined later, but they all have one thing in common, they are extremely loyal to themselves, work very hard, and their talents are outstanding. It is precisely because of them that they can solve the Xixia and Jin Kingdom one after another without bloodshed. Now the courts of these two countries are under their control, and the emperors of these two countries have also given up their throne, waiting for their new country to re-rule the land.

"Young Master, if it weren't for you, we would probably still be in Heifeng Village, so how could we be an official?" Zhang Zhongtong said with emotion. They had no choice but to elect Han Zhongwei as the leader of Heifeng Village, but unexpectedly, Han Zhongwei took them to another Jinguang Avenue. Now the people from the former Heifeng Village have all served as officers in the army. Although not necessarily all of them are senior officers, a considerable number of the battalion commanders of the company came from Heifeng Village. And those in the government now have fame and fortune. Even he was just a rank of Heifeng Village, and now he was named Marquis. Now the Jin Kingdom has been included in the hands of the young master. When he returns to his hometown in the future, haha, it's exciting to think about it.

"Yes, young master, if it weren't for you, I might still be a scout now." Ding Chuan said with a smile. His latest position is the Minister of Public Security established by Han Zhongwei, who is in charge of all public security bureaus and police stations established in Jin and Xixia. In addition, the investigation and arrest offices established by Jin are also under his command. If the investigation and arrest offices will soon become a giant, with branches in various counties, with a total of 60,000 or 70,000 people. It is terrible to think about it.

"Don't flatter me, our mission has not been finalized yet. When the world is unified, it is the last time for us to celebrate the achievements." Han Zhongwei raised his hand and saw that everyone was still opening his mouth, he quickly stopped Dayou's move to treat this meeting as a praise meeting.

"Third brother, I think you should be the emperor." Han Zhongyi suddenly said that he is now the commander of the Guards and was approved to attend because of his identity.

"Brother, I won't discuss this for the time being. Let's talk about the country's name first." Han Zhongwei said hurriedly.

"Master of the village, I think you should be the emperor too," Li Tian suddenly said.

"Yes, the prince should be the emperor"

"Young Master wants to be the emperor"

"The Marquis really has to be the emperor."

...

After all, the concepts of these people are different from Han Zhongwei. Their yearning for supporting the new master was much beyond Han Zhongwei's expectations. In the end, Han Zhongwei had to decide to leave the meeting. This matter was decided by him and no one could interfere.
