Ji Yang covered his forehead, He Guanggui is a typical unprofitable guy who doesn't think about political strategy at all, and measures the war purely by monetary interests. This kind of person belongs to capitalism www.biquge.info, but fortunately, he is a capitalist in the court, and he cannot influence the national strategy. It is definitely not a good thing for a country to be controlled by capitalism.

"The Mongols have surrendered, what are you going to fight, Lord He, I think you are dizzy." Chenyang, the head of the cabinet, is still very sober, and the reason is the same as what Ji Yang said before, the Central Plains has just calmed down not long ago, even if he has the strength to crush the Mongols, it is not conducive to a large-scale war.

The key is that such a large grassland cannot be swallowed at all with the current appetite of the Central Plains.

"Chenyang is right, I decided to open a tea and horse exchange market in the north to trade with the Mongols." Ji Yang said.

"Your Majesty, this move must not be done, if you trade with the Mongols, it will be tantamount to boosting their strength." Chen Yang said.

Ji Yang thought that Chen Yang was very good just now, but now it seems that Chen Yang is not smart but old-fashioned.

"Trade has indeed brought a lot of benefits to the Mongols, but Chenyang, don't we get the benefits? An iron pot can be exchanged for a cow, a porcelain bowl can be exchanged for a sheep, and you actually said not to do such a good business. Ji Yang said.

"How can national affairs be profitable everywhere, and if the Mongols are allowed to recover, sooner or later they will become a big trouble." Chen Yang said.

"Lord Shoufu, I think you're dizzy, is it possible that you can be smarter than the emperor. You can get more cattle and horses and earn more money by trading with the Mongols, and this money can be used to make cannons and guns, and you are afraid that the Mongols will slow down? He Guanggui said.

Chen Yang opened his mouth and couldn't refute it, he really didn't expect this.

The main reason is that the old ideas are troubled, no matter how much money the Central Plains made in the past, no matter how rich they were, they couldn't beat the Mongolian iron horse. In the eyes of these old ministers in Chenyang, money is not linked to military strength. Now it's different, the guns of the Central Plains completely crushed the Mongolian iron cavalry, and it takes money to cast cannons and make guns.

"Since the Warat, Tatar and Uliangha were defeated, trade alone could not be achieved. Although their invasion did not bother the people in the territory, it caused us to spend tens of millions of taels of silver worth of ammunition and sacrifice hundreds of soldiers, and we must be counted to make them double the compensation. Ji Yang said.

"Your Majesty." Now no one objected, and the ministers agreed.

"In addition, it is necessary to further expand the territory of the Central Plains, and I have decided to advance three thousand miles east and three thousand miles north from Jizhou. This land has been turned into a province, and I remember that there is a vast black land there, so let's call it Black Dragon Province. Ji Yang said.

The ministers were very moved when they heard this, but they did not immediately agree, but exchanged words and discussions.

Chen Yang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it's good to advance three thousand miles to the north, I believe that Tatar and Uliangha should agree." But advancing three thousand miles to the east, where the Manchus were their territory, they did not attack Jizhou. ”

Ji Yangxin said that the Manchus did not attack us, so can't we fight over. Of course, he would not say it so directly, but said euphemistically: "Although the Manchus did not attack Jizhou on a large scale, they also sent a lot of people to pick up the bargain, which is a provocation to the Taihao Dynasty and must be severely punished." Otherwise, anyone will dare to come to the Central Plains to pick up cheap, how will my Taihao Dynasty be subdued in the future! ”

"Your Majesty." Now Chen Yang heard it, Ji Yang wanted to find an excuse to take down the Manchus.

Half a month later, Qin Shuang led an army of 30,000 to escort more than 10,000 Tatars and Uliangha troops into Beijing. For a time, the capital was very lively, hundreds of people crowded on both sides of the road to welcome the Jizhou army into Beijing, and the escorted army was baptized by rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves.

The Tatar chieftain, Utai Khan, was a descendant of Genghis Khan and had taken power in the Northern Yuan Dynasty a few years earlier with the help of the city of Wushuang. Later, Ji Yang recovered the north and drove Wutai Khan back to the grassland, and this guy even dared to attack the Taihao Dynasty. No, it is not a question of daring or not for the Mongols, but they must go south to plunder resources, otherwise many tribesmen will not survive in winter.

Uliangha had been subdued by Bu Jingyun before, and once had a friendly relationship with the Central Plains, but seeing that the Tatars were powerful, they colluded with the Tatars to betray the Central Plains. They saw that Jizhou was very prosperous, with countless fertile fields and developed fisheries, so they wanted to attack Jizhou and plunder it in one fell swoop.

The idea of Tatar and Uliangha is very good, Jizhou is so remote, and when reinforcements arrive, they will all rush out. Unexpectedly, Jizhou did not need to wait for reinforcements at all, and only relied on the local 100,000 garrisons to beat their 300,000 iron cavalry to the ground, the leader of Uliangha was killed on the spot, and the Tatar leader Utai Khan was captured alive.

When Wutai Khan was escorted to Ji Yang, he was already disheveled and had rotten eggs on his face.

"Emperor Shengwu, I, Wutai Khan, am willing to surrender, please give me the treatment of a nobleman." Utai Khan stood in front of him, and the Mongols were highly hierarchical, believing that as long as they were nobles, they should be treated accordingly even if they lost.

Ji Yang didn't speak, but released the power of the Yuan God towards the other party. His momentum was so huge that Wutai Khan felt like Mount Tai was overpowered, and the whole person couldn't help bending over, bending his knees, and kneeling down under heavy pressure until he was prostrate on the ground.

Wutai Khan finally understood that this Holy Martial Emperor was not the cowardly emperor of the past, but an emperor with superb martial arts. His momentum is more than ten times stronger than the former Dugu side, and the Dugu side can easily suppress Wutai Khan, not to mention Ji Yang.

"In my eyes, there are no nobles, only winners and losers, and the losers have no qualifications to bargain." Ji Yang said.

"I, I understand." Wutai Khan was sweating on his forehead, feeling like he was about to suffocate, and it was difficult to speak.

"Qin Shuang, how many ammunition, weapons and equipment have you lost in this battle, and how many people have you lost. Tell this Tatar Utai Khan that all this is caused by Tatar and Uliangha, and someone should be responsible. Ji Yang said.

"Returning to the emperor, in this battle, our army lost 53 forts, 17 fortresses, a number of trenches and iron fences, 270,000 bullets, 160,000 shells, and 237 dead and wounded soldiers, which was converted into a total loss of about 53 million taels of silver." Qin Shuang replied.

"Honglu Temple, this number has tripled." Ji Yang said.

"Wechen understands." Honglu Temple Qing Xu Yanrong said.

Utai Khan heard that the triple was secretly complained, the nomads were economically backward, where to find so much silver.

According to Ji Yang's instructions, Honglu Siqing quickly took out a contract with compensation written on it. The Tatars paid 159,000,000 taels of silver, and the Uliangha ceded land. The territory of Uliangha was originally not large, and according to Ji Yang's requirements, he went north for 3,000 miles, and almost all of the territory of Uliangha was entered.

In addition to ceding land and losing money, the Tatars and Uliangha also had to send troops to assist Qin Shuang, and send troops east next spring to take down the Manchurians' territory.

The leader of the Uliangha is dead, and a new leader named Dolan is brought in to sign. This Dolan's courage has been shattered by the Tiger God Cannon, and he tremblingly agreed to the compensation for the land cession, and was released after signing his name. While secretly scolding Dolan for his incompetence, Wutai Khan begged Ji Yang to reduce the compensation, and Ji Yang removed the nine million and allowed him to compensate with resources such as cattle and sheep.

Under the heavy pressure of Ji Yang and the Qilin Army, in the end, Wutai Khan also gritted his teeth and signed a surrender document.

"One hundred and fifty million taels of silver, at least fifty million taels in a year, and pay off within three years." Honglu Siqing said to Wutai Khan.

"I see." Utai Khan was humiliated.

After the surrender ceremony, Dolan and Utai Khan were courteous, washed and changed into new clothes, and then sent back to their old ministry.

Ji Yang didn't meet them again, they were just two grassland warriors, and they didn't deserve Ji Yang's too grand treatment. Ji Yang rewarded a meritorious soldier, Qin Shuang was promoted from the governor of the two states to the governor of the three states, and the extra state was the three thousand miles ceded by Wuliangha, which was twice as large as the original Jizhou, and was named Beizhou by Ji Yang.

Because Hami was too far away from the capital, Ji Yang did not summon Chenye to Beijing to show off. However, the reward should also be in place, in addition to the promotion of the meritorious soldiers below and the reward of silver, Tatsuno was promoted from the governor of the three states to the governor of the four states, and a set of dragon scale armor was rewarded.

The three prefectures under Tatsuno's previous jurisdiction were Tibet, Changji, and Xinjiang, and now an Altai has been added. This area was naturally paid for the compensation of the defeated Warat, and Ji Yang renamed Altai Taizhou, which is more convenient to remember.

In the First World War, Taizhou and Beizhou were obtained, and compensation of 150 million taels of silver was obtained, and everyone in the court rejoiced. Expanding the territory has been a great event since ancient times, and there is no emperor in the past who did not want to open up the territory, but many conditions and ability restrictions have not succeeded.

But all the emperors who have opened up the territory, which one is not a big book, boasting of himself as a saint for all generations. There is no need for Ji Yang to boast, the people below naturally praise him, and the four words of the Holy Martial Emperor are worthy of his name.

With the power of the First World War, the policy of removing the old and renovating suddenly became much smoother, and with the transformation of the ancient gate schools such as Shaolin Wudang Kunlun into academies, almost no one resisted anymore. The government went to the countryside and quickly implemented, and under the strong alliance of Jinyiwei and Yujian Pavilion, the landlords with strong resistance were all killed, and the rest died down. The tax reform was relatively smooth, and with the strong assistance of the Nine Changes Chamber of Commerce and the Star Chamber of Commerce, those scattered businessmen had little ability to resist.

The imperial examination system, which is the most difficult to reform, has the clamoring of the Yan Shenggong and the people of Xinxuemen, and it is difficult to suppress those who study. But after the victory of this battle, those scholars could no longer slander Ji Yang, if anyone dared to scold the emperor at this time, they would definitely be killed immediately.

"It's good that our Shu prince is the emperor, and the Mongols don't want to come to grab things anymore." The people of Shuchuan are undoubtedly the most supportive of Ji Yang, they are the first people to enjoy the benefits of innovation, and they are proud that Ji Yang once served as a prince in Shuchuan.

"But no, the Qilin Army has conquered the Western Regions, and I heard that we are here to the West Pole for more than 60,000 miles, a big desert." It was the servant of the Shu Wangfu Wangzhuang who spoke, although Ji Yang became the emperor, but the Shu Wangfu still existed, and the Wangzhuang was still prosperous.

It is a great honor to be able to enter Wangzhuang as a servant in Shuchuan, and it is a cut above people when you go out.

With the promotion of improved rice, corn, potatoes and other crops throughout the Central Plains and some controlled countries in the South Seas, there is no shortage of grain in the Central Plains. Therefore, Ji Yang greatly reduced the agricultural tax of the servants, and the policy of removing the old and reforming reduced the agricultural tax to 20%, and the servants in the Zhuangzi of the Shu Wangfu were reduced to 10%.

On the surface, the agricultural tax of the former dynasty was not high, but all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were looted layer by layer, and the actual tax collection was as high as 70%. Now that Jiyang has reduced the agricultural tax so much, and the government has strong management after going to the countryside, it can be implemented, and the life of the common people is more than 100 times better than before.

In the past, after paying taxes, the common people could not even eat enough and had to borrow money from the landlords. How much food can I save if I have to repay the loan after paying taxes in the second year? This was repeated for two or three years, and ordinary people could only sell themselves to landlords.

As for some people washing the land of the landlords, saying that they guaranteed that the peasants had food to eat in the disaster year, that is pure fart. If there were no harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and looting at all levels, the common people themselves would be able to save a lot of grain, and where would they be able to use the landlord's help in disaster years.

In fact, landlords seldom help the common people in disaster years, otherwise how could so many people starve to death in the event of a drought or locust plague. Those big grain households not only do not help the people, but more often increase the price of grain, eager to scrape every penny of the people.

There are also a few good landlords, but as I said before, just because there are a few good landlords, all landlords cannot be treated equally. On the whole, the landlord class is a bunch of moths, and it is not practical to kill them all, but it is necessary to restrain them.

"Tax Sharing Law!"

After the implementation of the previous system reforms, Ji Yang threw out a new decree.

Shinong is not allowed to do business, and industry and commerce are not allowed to hoard land.

This is a provision of the tax sharing law, but it is not a rigid rule, and if the regulation is violated, the tax will be increased.

First of all, there must be a standard for how to do business, and according to the standard studied by the cabinet, a transaction of more than 100 taels of silver is considered business. One hundred taels is already relatively wealthy, and many small traders and hawkers can only earn one hundred taels of silver a month, which means that it is okay for Shinong to do a small business.

If the farmers were to do business, they would have to levy an extremely high commercial tax, as high as 60 percent, almost squeezing.

Industry and commerce are not allowed to hoard land, but also set a standard, how to hoard land? According to the standards studied by the cabinet, a family of four has more than 100 acres of land to count as tuntian. If the land of a businessman exceeds this limit, the agricultural tax will also be increased by a large margin.

The agreement to increase the agricultural tax is 60%, and there is a secondary standard for both farmers and industrialists. Shinong engaged in business with a transaction of more than 1,000 taels of silver, and the commercial tax increased to 70%. More than 1,000 acres of industrial and commercial tuntian land were cultivated, and the agricultural tax was raised to 70 percent. By analogy, the third-level standard is 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 acres of land, and the agricultural and commercial taxes will be increased by 80%.

The reason for the introduction of this tax-sharing law is mainly to prevent those businessmen from returning to their hometown Tuntian after making money. The big businessmen are so rich that if they start playing the landlord model, they will not be able to stop at all, so they can only introduce this kind of law to restrict the development of industry and commerce in the direction of forgetting the landlords.

The new household registration is divided into four types, namely, Shinong, and industrial, and according to the current proportion, it is obviously not conducive to the development of industry and commerce. At present, the rural household registration accounts for more than half, the industrial and commercial household registration accounts for about 30 percent, and the taxi household registration is less than 1/10,000.

In order to adapt to the future changes in the proportion of farmers and businessmen, it is necessary to introduce a set of appropriate policies for changing their nationality.

The key is the change of Shinong's household registration and industrial and commercial household registration, and the main purpose of Jiyang's introduction of this set of policies is to prevent landlords from doing business and to prevent businessmen from becoming local owners. According to the current process of industrial capitalization, in the future, many peasants will turn to industrial and commercial household registration, and the demand for industry and commerce to become peasants again should be very small.

Therefore, Ji Yang is restricting agriculture and industry, and industry and commerce are not allowed to change to Shinong, and if they really want to change, they must apply to the Ministry of Households, and be approved by the Ministry of Households. I believe that there are few businessmen in the country who are so bullish, why should such a good businessman risk going to the local master.

As for the need to put industry and commerce together, they are afraid that businessmen will apply to change their work status to work and then change to agricultural status in the local area. Therefore, if we want to restrict, we will restrict industry and commerce, and industry and commerce cannot be changed to Shi Nong, but Shi Nong can be changed to industry and commerce more easily.

It is estimated that few scholars will give up their noble household registration and change to industry and commerce, and if they really change, it will be difficult to change back. Considering that the industry is becoming more and more developed, it is necessary for some farmers to invest in industry and commerce, so the household registration of agricultural reform can be applied for locally.

Then there is the mutual reform between the industrial and commercial two, and the mutual reform between the two farmers, which can be applied for by the local government.

What if the children and grandchildren of industry and commerce are admitted to the promotion and become officials and want to change to scholars?

This is simple, both the people and the officials are under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, even if it is not difficult to apply for a change of nationality at the household department. In order to prevent some industrial and commercial families from going to the local lord of Tuntian by having an official or a son, the officials and the people should be supervised very strictly.

There is also a possibility that Shinong and industry and commerce collude with each other, for example, a merchant pays to buy a Shinong to go to the tuntian, which is actually under the control of the merchant. This is not impossible, but under the supervision of the imperial court, it may be much better than their free tuntian.
