"I am not afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice. Every time the local government pays a certain amount of money, the people will be stripped of at least ten. As for the destruction of the people's families and displaced, they will do their jobs for the emperor anyway!"

"My reputation is broken, but they have promoted it completely and even made a lot of money and rich furniture!"

The emperor's words instantly caused the temperature in the whole room to drop sharply, and the prime ministers felt cold all over.

This is the emperor's anger.

"No one dares to blame him in the future. After all, it is just a matter of serving the emperor, and everything is for the emperor!"

Li Jia had a sarcastic smile on her face, which made the prime ministers feel uncomfortable. They looked at each other and understood the emperor's deep meaning.

"It seems that the tribute system is out of place!"

The emperor's meaning is self-evident, and he must be dissatisfied with the tribute system so derogatory and even throws the blame on the Anshi Rebellion.

However, the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall were already very dissatisfied with this system that satisfies the pleasure of the harem, and the harm was extremely great. However, the tribute was originally the emperor's welfare. If they said it rashly, they would definitely make them dislike.

Now that the emperor said this in person, they naturally followed suit.

"Your Majesty, in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, issued an edict saying: All counties in the world will pay tribute every year... According to the order, the contributions of all counties will be made of the land, and the price of silk is not more than fifty pieces. They will also use official goods to fill the market. The tribute is very small, and the goods are easy to offer. The Holy Dynasties are always in charge. This is where they are added. If they are added here, they will also have to pay rent and taxes, and they will not charge any other subjects!"

Sun Zhao had a say in this, and he knew it clearly and immediately said:

"The so-called market price is fifty silk, but local officials often please the emperor and impose heavy taxes, which is ten times or a hundred times. The people cannot bear the trouble. Some local tributes are just a few dogs and insects. They are far away from the frontier, worth only a few stakes. When they come from thousands of miles away, they hire more than a hundred stakes!"

"Some flying eagles and beasts are even hidden deep in high mountains and ridges. In order to obtain tribute, countless people sacrifice their lives to destroy their families."

"There are so many disadvantages that I can't count them all!"

Li Jia naturally knew the harm of tribute. Not to mention anything else, in order to obtain pearls in the Southern Han Dynasty, fishermen were specially set up as Meichuan Capital, and went deep into the seabed hundreds of meters deep to catch clam shells, killing hundreds of deaths and injuries.

Liu Luoguo, the Prime Minister of TV series, contributed by Heshen, Liu Luoguo tried every means to obstruct him, just because he did not want it to become a tribute and cause Guangxi to suffer disaster.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty built the canal while sending people to record the specialties in the canal area and thus list them as local tribute. For the people around the canal, it was a worse problem. It was normal that so many people could rebel.

Dayu made nine tripods, divided nine provinces, and paid tribute to the land, so local tribute became part of the tax.

The tribute and taxes of the Shang Dynasty began to be institutionalized, called "Yinzhu".

The Zhou Dynasty included it in the "Book of Zhou" and divided the land tribute into nine types. "Tribute" became one of the important sources of national fiscal revenue besides land tribute.

Not to mention the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, tribute was the wealth dedicated to the hegemons of the Central Plains, accounting for almost one-third of the income of small countries. This is also the reason why countries want to be hegemons, not only because of fame, but also profitable.

Emperor Gaozu of Han came from the people and knew the harm of local tribute. He issued an edict requiring local vassal states to no longer pay tribute indiscriminately, so that local tribute tribute is independent of taxes, but the harm is even greater.

Because tribute is no longer institutionalized.

The emperor's food, drink, clothing, and palaces are actually all from local tributes, and they enjoy the blood and sweat of the people for free. This is also the fundamental reason why Confucianism opposes emperors' luxury.

Because the emperor was a free agent, he didn't take out a copper coin to buy it.

"The deeper the year, the deeper the damage!" Li Jia shook her head and said with a determined look on her face:

"My inner treasury is still a little money now. Let the Shaofu go to various places to buy things from the harem. The people are already poor, so they will not be allowed to pay tribute!"

Several prime ministers looked disbelief. After a while, they bowed with surprise and shouted from the bottom of their hearts:

"Your Majesty loves the people, and I am so grateful to the people of the world!"

"From the future, the Transportation Office will no longer collect local tribute!"

Li Jia said softly to Hu Binwang.

"Here--" Hu Binwang's body was shocked and immediately bowed.

"The tribute of the land should have been abolished, and it has been out of place until now. I will make it clear today that if future generations and descendants do not have to establish tribute of the land!"

Li Jia said domineeringly, as if shocking Fang Liang.

"Your Majesty's wiseness--" the prime ministers exclaimed sincerely.

After the abolition of the tribute, Li Jia did not feel that things were over. He had to let the di newspapers be published in large quantities.

First, praise yourself and establish a reputation of loving the people as your son, so that it will be natural to unify the world.

Secondly, it is also to prevent local officials from deceiveing ​​their superiors and concealing their subordinates, and to make money, they privately collect local tributes and ruin their reputation.

Tian Fu, who was serving on the side, kept twitching when he heard the emperor's words, and wanted to open his mouth to speak, but when he saw the prime ministers constantly hype, he didn't dare to say it clearly.

Immediately, I Li Jia asked about corvee labor again, emphasizing that the two-tax system originally integrated corvee labor, but local governments have difficulties that they have to do, and their existence must be reasonable.

So he did not directly remove corvee labor from one-size-fits-all approach, but instead made a forced subdivision of corvee labor.

For example, the age of corvee service is between the ages of eighteen and fifty, and women are not among them.

The scope of corvee service shall not exceed the scope of its county, which means that the people's service is only carried out in a county in their hometown, so as to cherish the people's strength and avoid their long journeys, which will cause their lives to be damaged.

The time of corvee service was also summarized.

First, praise yourself and establish a reputation of loving the people as your son, so that it will be natural to unify the world.

Secondly, it is also to prevent local officials from deceiveing ​​their superiors and concealing their subordinates, and to make money, they privately collect local tributes and ruin their reputation.
