Chen Danwang, the head of the household department, has had a bad time recently, not because the household department has no money, but because the homework assigned to him by the little emperor is too difficult.

Guo Zongxun's desire to regulate the commercial tax law of the Great Zhou Dynasty has always been overlooked by the emperors of successive dynasties, or rather something that several of their wise and wise emperors wanted to do but never succeeded.

The little emperor handed over this task to Chen Danwang, which belonged to catching ducks on the shelves, and at the same time, it was also to see if Chen Danwang was willing to pay this vote.

This letter of nomination is for Chen Danwang to take the initiative to open up the old background of the Central Plains family, let them honestly report the family's business to the imperial court, and then honestly pay commercial taxes.

In Chen Danwang's opinion, how is this possible?

Chen Danwang has a lot of business in the Great Zhou Dynasty, in their opinion, the money obtained by the family's business is justified and understandable belongs to their respective families, why should the Great Zhou court let them pay commercial taxes?

Nowadays, the territory of the Great Zhou is constantly expanding, and the eyes of various families are focused on Yanyun, Taiyuan and Jinling.

At this juncture, the little emperor wants to establish and improve the commercial tax law, isn't this cutting meat on the body of a wealthy family?

The Great Zhou Dynasty Royal Shop Hundred Battles Heroes Hall has been fully rolled out, and various wealthy families have also begun to buy shops in Youzhou, Taiyuan and Jinling, preparing to expand the family business.

However, Cao Bin, the town guard envoy of Youzhou, Xiang Xun, the town guard envoy of Taiyuan, and Yang Ye, the town guard of Jinling, all the shops in the territory must be reported to the town guard embassy and local government offices.

Even Li Jixun, the town guard of Qizhou, and Qian Mao, the town guard of Chang'an, also began to take action against the shops in the jurisdiction.

Chen Danwang didn't dare to give the little emperor ideas to improve the commercial tax law, but he knew that the big families also knew that the little emperor did it himself.

Chen Danwang had a hunch that he was only afraid that he had disappointed His Majesty, and that he could almost be the end of the household.

So, don't these families have a way to deal with it?

Are they just waiting for the little emperor to take a knife and cut the flesh from them?

Of course not, but some of the little emperor's operations made these families want to resist and don't know where to go.

In other words, before the little emperor officially promulgated the commercial tax law, they did not dare to act rashly at all.

Why is that?

Guo Zongxun set up town guards in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and gradually replaced the Jiedu envoys.

This was Guo Zongxun's strategic idea during the period of the Great Zhou's outward expansion.

All the envoys were military generals, the highest commanders of the military districts under their jurisdiction, and the troops under their jurisdiction were directly under the orders of the emperor.

Local affairs, the position of the governor of the state capital, just vacant? It is concurrently served by the town guard.

Administrative officials at all levels, the highest position is the county order? It is directly under the management of the town guard envoy's office.

Five dynasties and ten kingdoms? Years after year, whether it is the Central Plains or the Khitan? Whether it is Xishu or Jiangnan, the population base is at the lowest level in history.

Guo Zongxun's strategy is? Management of large military districts? National military management? All-people military management.

This is also a means for him to deal with the big clans, when the Great Zhou soldiers are in their prime, who dares to be dishonest, who dares to stab the thorns? Aren't you afraid that the little emperor will directly send troops to exterminate them?

Anyway? Among the current Great Zhou generals, the so-called Jiangmen wealthy family has not yet been formed, and all the families of the generals live in Kaifeng? The military regions under the jurisdiction of military generals are not immutable, and they practice a rotation system of transferring personnel but not troops.

Emperors before it? In order to prevent the generals from rebelling, most of them adopted the method of transferring troops without transferring generals, and the soldiers from the south went to the north, and the soldiers from the north went to the south.

Not to mention how much military rations and money are needed to migrate along the way, the attrition on the way is not a small problem.

The water and soil of the north and the south, don't be unsatisfied, you are really likely to be unconvinced.

Soldiers cannot meet the conditions of generals in terms of food and shelter, and they are more likely to be unadaptable.

The most important thing is the impact on the morale of the military, the soldiers have no sense of belonging, they know that once they enter the barracks, they will either die on the battlefield or die in an unknown place that is not their hometown.

Guo Zongxun, on the other hand, abandoned these practices, and never replenished soldiers from other places if they could be recruited from the local area, and also encouraged soldiers to start a family as soon as possible.

Regarding this point, Guo Zongxun's approach to treating women should be put on hold for the present, and it will inevitably be criticized by many people of insight who emphasize equality between men and women.

From the beginning of Yang Ye's takeover of Jiangling, Guo Zongxun ordered him to recruit women over the age of 15 in Jiangnan, both unmarried and widowed, to adopt a distribution system and distribute them to meritorious soldiers in the army as wives.

In various parts of the Central Plains, this practice has also begun.

In the past, it was difficult to marry a daughter-in-law if you were a soldier, but now it is very likely that you will have to be beaten if you are not a soldier.

Because, there are not many women......

Guo Zongxun's approach seems to despise the status of women, but this era is like this, and the status of men is far higher than that of women.

Most importantly, Guo Zongxun is to encourage fertility and restore the population base of the Great Zhou as soon as possible.

Under such historical conditions, Guo Zongxun's control of the all-people army in various localities will undoubtedly better strengthen the centralization of power...... To put it bluntly, it is the dominance of the emperor's centralized power.

Even Guo Zongxun envisioned that unless there was a big battle, he would never use the hundreds of thousands of fierce troops who were being reclaimed.

The 300,000 Huzi army plus the 100,000 guards and forbidden army are the foundation of Guo Zongxun's defense of Kaifeng and the protection of imperial power.

While cultivating the army, it is also necessary to maintain normal military training, and this is a resolute and unslackening principle.

The recruited women are assigned to the soldiers of the Hustle Army as wives, and their offspring, the male baby can replace the quota of the father's generation in the army when he reaches the right age.

When the girl reaches the marriageable age, it will be digested internally in the Hustman army.

In Guo Zongxun's view, this long-term persistence can not only ensure the steady growth of the population base of the Great Zhou, but also maintain the population quality of the Great Zhou.

In Guo Zongxun's view, a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken is definitely not qualified to represent the Confucianism of Confucius.

The six arts of the gentleman, the number of imperial books of etiquette and music, the so-called Confucian scholars now, how many people can do all the six arts?

Guo Zongxun even had the idea of reforming the Great Zhou scientific examination, but he was afraid that it would cause too much backlash for a while, so he did not launch it immediately, and still continued the old system of separate examinations and separate admissions for liberal arts and martial arts.

Now it is the spring of the seventh year of Xiande, and Guo Zongxun's first martial arts move after ascending the throne is about to start after a period of intensive preparations.

This is still a subtle historical innovation, and the strategy adopted by Guo Zongxun is still to be slow and unhurried, steady and steady, and strive to gradually realize his strategic vision while maintaining the stability of the country.

This series of operations are complementary to each other and seem to be unrelated, but in fact......

Going back to the commercial tax law, Guo Zongxun forced Chen Danwang to submit his name on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had already started to do it.

Since his father Guo Rong captured Youzhou, Guo Zongxun strictly ordered local governments to prohibit ordinary people from doing business privately.

The Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles has to be spread out quickly, and the whole people are under military management in various places, between the two, careful people, can't they still see the little Jiujiu in Guo Zongxun's heart?
