Kangxi's plan for this fiscal and taxation reform is very thorough, and its specific implementation is also quite cautious. He did not carry out a unified nationwide operation, but selected several representative regions to be piloted.

This kind of governance seems to have become Kangxi's habit. In the past, "returning farmland to forests and returning grazing land to grassland." In the current fiscal and taxation reform, he has done this whenever there is a major move. Of course, this is a good thing, and it is also extremely beneficial to the people and the country. Because this way is scientific and responsible.

Kangxi, the young son of heaven, succeeded to the throne at the age of eight. Punish Aobai, collect Taiwan, and level the three feudatories. A series of brilliant exploits and the praises of the ministers did not make him so happy that his mind was hot, and he waved his hand and said whatever he wanted. He is still conscientious in dealing with state affairs, and he does not dare to be sloppy in the slightest. Every decision is deliberate and deliberate.

Shuyun sees all of this. Originally, it was not clear whether Kangxi in history was also so Shuyun, but his current governance concept can be said to be enlightened, at least for this era, no one can deny this.

Shuyun, a reborn person, is satisfied with both Kangxi and the current social status quo. Shuyun did not expect China to leapfrog from a feudal society to a democratic and legal society all at once. This kind of thinking is extremely unrealistic, and can only exist as an unrealistic good wish. Shuyun is wise in this regard, and she has never had such extravagant hopes, even if she reveals a little bit about this aspect in front of Kangxi, then she is definitely a brain-dead.

For the people, the current social environment is already very good. To paraphrase a later generation, "Society is developing, and people are progressing." "Any kind of change in the system. It must be decided according to the social environment and people's ideology at that time. The process is also moving forward step by step in twists and turns, and it can never be achieved overnight.

For now. Even if Kangxi wanted to achieve democracy and the rule of law, the common people and courtiers who had received the ideological education of Confucianism and loyalty to the monarch would not necessarily do it. Not to mention the one standing at the pinnacle of power. A monarch whose thoughts are deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the world, Kangxi will never engage in any democracy and legal system. Even if his head was squeezed by the door, he wouldn't. Anyone who dares to say this is either a fool or a madman, and it is best to be prepared to lose his head in advance.

In such a social context, it is not easy for Kangxi to achieve this step today.

The five new fiscal and taxation demonstration zones were quickly finalized after some discussion. From north to south, they are: Jilin, Zhili (Beijing and Tianjin), Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Sichuan, and Guangdong.

These five regions were not chosen at random. It has been carefully considered and scrutinized, and it is very representative.

Jilin is outside the customs and is the hometown of the Manchurians. The land there was occupied by the Manchurians. treats his own people, Kangxi is broadband. However, Kangxi is by no means ambiguous in the formulation of policies, except for the unbreakable rules set by the ancestors, the whole country must play a game of chess, so as to make the country long-term stability. Kangxi was well aware of this, so Jilin was selected as the smallest area of the three eastern provinces.

Beijing and Tianjin are the capitals. Naturally, it is necessary to be at the forefront of the country. All reforms will start here, and there is no doubt that Beijing and Tianjin will be elected.

The Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are currently the most economically developed areas in the Qing Dynasty, and they are also the most important ones. What's more, there are also "Zhejiang merchants", the largest merchant group in the country, as well as a large number of landlords.

Sichuan is the region with the largest agricultural population in the country. In ancient China's feudal society, peasants were always the cornerstone of a country. is the most important component. Counting the history of China for more than 2,000 years, there have been countless peasant uprisings, large and small. It is always these ordinary peasants who can overthrow a dynasty. Therefore, any reform must be treated with caution as long as it involves the peasants.

The last one is Guangdong. The controversy is greatest when it comes to choosing. Originally, this place should have been the least controversial, because it has not yet been a window to China's economy and opening up as it has been in later generations. In the eyes of the courtiers, this was a pure backwood, and the people who lived here were barbarians. Even the Governor of Liangguang was the last of the eight governors. The courtiers and magnates also had little to gain here. There is no dispute without interest, so they are happy to choose here.

The reason why Kangxi chose this place is because Guangdong is close to Southeast Asia and occupies Guangdong, one of the four customs offices of Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang. One of the fiscal and taxation reforms is tariff reform, and of course we have to choose a pilot project. But what the courtiers didn't expect was that Kangxi not only wanted to reform tariffs, but also revealed the idea of strengthening overseas trade.

This made the courtiers blow up. Especially a group of old stubborns who are so old that they are about to lose their scum, and even trembling when they walk, jumped out to stop them crying and shouting. That action is called a sharp rope, and at this time they don't have waist pain, no breathing, and no leg cramps.

The introduction of the stronghold, from the ancient road to the present, is called an impassioned, full of emotion, so that those who hear it are sad, and those who see it cry. What are the rules of the main sect, the people in the world, and those who don't want money are all moving out, and the height has risen to an unattainable level. Listen to what they mean, if Kangxi really did this, the sin would be great, and there would be no second way to go except to die to thank the world.

made Kangxi so angry that the top of his brain was about to smoke. The saddest thing is that the leaders are famous for not being afraid of death. "The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death." Threatening them with a head-killing routine doesn't work at all. Kangxi really has no way to deal with them. Especially two of them are so old that their teeth have fallen out, and he also wishes that Kangxi would cut off their heads, and when they are dying, they can still make a good name as a relinquent to make them famous in history, why not.

Some of the bigwigs who have reached the same agreement with Kangxi have the intention to stand up against the old guys and cheer for Kangxi. And they willingly did it. is not only to curry favor with Kangxi, but also to have their interests.

These bigwigs are a group of people who stand at the top of the interests of the entire Qing Dynasty, and they are also the most well-informed. Shuyun made huge profits in overseas trade through Martin, but she couldn't hide it from others. These people have been looking at it for a long time. However, first, there is no way, and second, there is the great god Kangxi standing behind Shuyun, and they can't start even if they want to hitchhike.

And Kangxi was able to get the support of these bigwigs this time, and one of the benefits promised to them was related to overseas trade. Kangxi was ready to let the royal navy escort him, and the imperial court organized caravans for overseas trade. These people just have to sit back and wait for the dividends.

At this time, people looked down on business, thinking that business was a lowly thing, and businessmen were called the ninth class. Although the courtiers all knew how to do business and make money, in addition to the rules of the court that the Manchus and courtiers were not allowed to do business, they themselves would never dare to risk the world's condemnation to do business in the name of the world. Reputation is above all else, and Shilin's verbal and written criticism is still very fatal. It is even worse for the emperor to take the lead in business, which is called competing with the people for profit. It wasn't Mingjun's doing.

Therefore, when Kangxi promised this benefit, the elites of this group of people knew how determined Kangxi's reform was. If they oppose it, they will definitely be hated by Kangxi, and they will also become a thorn in Kangxi's side and a thorn in the flesh. No one would do this kind of stupid thing. Besides, there are so many benefits, of course they are willing to cooperate with Kangxi, and they are also happy to make a fortune.

So at this time, helping Kangxi is helping himself, but compared with these rotten Confucians, the level of the bigwigs is really not enough. They also have self-knowledge, and standing up is equivalent to sending people to the door to clean up. I can only grit my teeth and look at this gang of old poor people who block people's money.

At the critical moment, Suo Etu stood up, and if you want to be smart, you have to be this guy. It is worthy of being called a "kaleidoscope" of eight-sided exquisite characters.

He didn't come up to oppose those old guys, but nodded and agreed: "A few adults are reasonable, my Qing Dynasty is the upper gang of the Heavenly Dynasty, and I am a big country." Allowing those small Xiyi countries to come to pay tribute is already a great bandwidth, how can we strengthen ties with them? ”

After the Taiwan issue was resolved, the Qing government lifted the sea ban, and even during the sea ban to deal with Taiwan's power, it did not completely ban commerce. The imperial court stipulated: "Inland merchant ships, Oriental (Japanese) can still walk,...... As for foreign merchant ships, let them come their way. "The four ports are permanent customs ports established by the government. However, in fact, there were nearly 100 ports for trade with overseas, but the imperial court did not set up formal customs, and the management was relatively chaotic. Of course, after this reform, these customs will be integrated into the customs system, and the imperial court will collect customs duties in a unified manner.

It can be seen from this that a few old guys are not opposed because Kangxi wants to strengthen overseas trade, but they oppose that Kangxi has the idea of getting out of the road. In the past, the merchants of the Qing Dynasty went as far as the East and Southeast Asia to do business, but now Kangxi is ready to let them go even further.

The Chinese have a very strong sense of locality, and since ancient times, there has been a saying that "parents are here, not far away". In the eyes of a few old guys, going so far to the East is the limit, and if it is farther, it is against the main family law. Of course, they didn't know that Kangxi also wanted to lead everyone to conduct overseas trade in an organized manner. Otherwise, these people will play a game called "death advice". Don't look at them except for chirping, they don't have any serious ability, but when it comes to maintaining tradition, it is absolutely unambiguous.

And then there is the fact that these people sometimes oppose because they oppose it, he doesn't care whether your will is good or not, right, anyway, working against the emperor is the goal of their life. Suo Etu knew the pulse of these people.

Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to strategy against them.

Seeing that the emperor's favored ministers all stood up to support them, a few old guys were happy. They all stroked their beards and shook their heads proudly, praising Suo Etu for being insightful.

Kangxi is not in a hurry now, as the boss of Suo Etu, how could Kangxi not know the personality of Suo Etu. Let him support a few old poor sour and work against himself, even if the sun comes out of the west, it is impossible. What's more, it has its benefits. Fighting with the fox Suo Etu, a few old poor sour people are waiting to be abused. Kangxi smiled secretly in his heart and sat up straight, just waiting to watch the show.
