0732 The people's lords granted two taxes on a trial basis
The garrison of Longnan and the construction of the three surrendered cities are both major events that have a bearing on the military strategic pattern of Xingtai. Especially the latter, because it is necessary to build a city defense in the Monan area north of the Hetao, and there are not low requirements in the construction period, it can be said that it is a change in the military pattern of the entire northwest region, and the investment of people in the early stage is a very amazing data.
Historically, Zhang Renyuan took advantage of the Turkic Mosi's western expedition to the Turks, and it took two months to build the city of Sanshou outside the river. One of the basic backgrounds is that during the Jinglong period, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo once again resumed peace, and bilateral relations eased to a certain extent.
Therefore, in the late Wu Zhou Dynasty, the Turks, who took advantage of the Khitan rebellion and grew stronger, became the most important strategic opponent of the Tang Dynasty, and the characters and horses gathered in Heshuo.
However, at present, the military center of Xingtai is still on the right line of Longyou, surrounding the periphery of Qinghai, and the investment in the meanders of the river is insufficient, and it only maintains the offensive and defensive posture since the Wuzhou Dynasty. Therefore, in order to build the system of the three surrendered cities in a short period of time, it is necessary to continue to invest more.
In terms of personnel, this year's border households will be mainly sent to the Hequ area, and the scale of reclamation in Fengzhou, Shengzhou, and other places will be restored as soon as possible. At the same time, the control and requisition of the Zhuhu around the meanders were intensified, such as the already strong Hui Hui, this time to move their clan territory eastward for hundreds of miles as punishment and suppression.
The Tiele tribes are also divided into various small circles, and the growth process of Hui Hui is a process of selling teammates. At first, his troops were not strong among the Tiele tribes, and at first they followed Xue Yantuo to help the Tang Dynasty defeat the Eastern Turks, and then teamed up with other tribes to divide Xue Yantuo.
During the period of the vertical arch, the Tongluo and the Servant Bone Department of the Tiele tribes rebelled, and the Hui actively responded to the Tang Dynasty's conscription, cooperated with the suppression of the rebellion, and led a large number of rebellious tribes, so that later the Uighur Khanate moved westward, and the Servant Bone Department accepted by its tribe replaced the original Uighur leader and became the royal family of the Uighur.
In short, after a few meals of human blood steamed buns, the growth of Hui's power should not be underestimated. And because of the growth of power, the Hui themselves have more ideas, and the reason why the Turkic Mosi was able to go straight to the states of the Kou River has a great deal to do with the indulgence of these fetter tribes.
Previously, Qi Biming led his army north, originally planning to move the Hui as a whole, but then it happened that Murong Zhong, the king of Tuyuhun, did not follow the Taiwan religious order and fled to the Shendu, in order to ensure the stability of the situation in the river meander, this matter was not implemented for the time being.
Now that the western line of Xingtai has stabilized, more power must be applied to Hequ, and after a deeper understanding of Hequ's Hu Qing, Li Tong plans to dismember Hui Hui.
There are nine major clans within the Hui Dynasty, the most powerful of which is the Yao Luo Ge Clan, the world leader of the Hanhai Governor's Mansion, like the later Hui Khan Guli Pei Luo was born in this clan.
Now Li Tong plans to abolish the Hanhai Governor's Mansion, and the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate will directly lead his department, and the Yao Luo Ge clan will move into the province, and another big clan in his department, the Ah Chu clan, will replace the Yao Luo Ge clan to take charge of his department.
No matter what group it is, the second child is always difficult to mix. As a clan second only to the Yao Luo Ge clan in the internal power of the Hui Hui, the situation is the same. At present, there have been disputes between each other, and in history, Yao Luoge continued to grow to the point of establishing a khanate, and the Ah Fall clan was forced to enter the court to seek refuge, and Li Guangjin, a famous general after the Tang Dynasty, was born in the Ah Fall clan.
Of course, Li Tong also understood that such an arrangement would definitely cause a lot of turmoil in the Hequ area, after all, since the Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva, the Hui Hui had Yao Luo Ge Clan as the leader, and rashly dismembered his subordinates and sanctioned the Yao Luo Ge Clan, which would definitely cause panic among the masses, and would even be used by people with good intentions, causing greater panic and turmoil.
Therefore, on the one hand, Xingtai set up the Ah Chu clan as the opponent of the Yao Luo Ge clan within the Hui Hui, and on the other hand, he also wanted to provoke the rest of the Tiele tribe to isolate the Yao Luo Ge clan. For example, the Xihe Society, which is the most suitable for recruiting traitors, entered the meandering area through the moraine and served as the foreign aid behind the platform.
In short, if Yao Luo Geshi is willing to obediently obey the arrangement of the stage and enter the pledge, then everything is easy to say, if the thief still wants to continue to do things, then solve it on the spot.
Sick to shallow Chinese medicine, Hui Hui is the main object of labor in the construction of the three surrender city system this time, presumably the Tiele tribes will also be happy with this arrangement, after all, Hui Hui's dominance is objectively also squeezing their respective living space.
Qi Bi Ming is not only a general of the Tang Kingdom, but also the leader of the Tiele Qi Bi Department, and the father and son have been loyal and diligent to the king's affairs, and Li Tong has deep confidence in him.
What's more, for the construction of the Three Surrender Cities, Li Tong also planned to personally supervise this matter with Yao Yuanchong. As for Zhang Renyuan, on the one hand, he led a group of traitors from the Xihe Xingshe to help in this matter, and on the other hand, he also put it in the Hetao area for deep training.
After listening to the two major plans in the north and south, Li Yuan was also silent for a while, and after a while, he said with some pity: "It is difficult to reduce the support of border affairs and construction, how much can the government leave for people's livelihood politics this year?" Farming, industry and commerce, and other matters, we can't just leave it alone......"
Hearing Li Element's words, Li Tong motioned to Yao Yuanchong and other military subordinates to retreat and discuss the details, leaving Li Element, and summoned several other civil affairs officials to continue to discuss people's livelihood matters.
At present, Taiwan's finances have only improved slightly, and because the two military projects are carried out together, it is foreseeable that the financial situation will be even tighter in the coming year.
Since the beginning of this year, the situation of expanding nationality in Zhuzhou and counties has been good, which has led to a surge in the number of households that Xingtai can control. However, the vast majority of these new hukou are destitute, and even if land is granted, there is not enough capital to immediately reclaim it.
Farm tools, cereal seeds, etc., in the case of the surge of registered households, to meet all the needs, is also a rather heavy burden for the platform.
In response to this situation, Li Tong put forward an idea, that is, for the new hukou, Xingtai will not be directly granted to Koutian, but will adopt the centralized production of Guantun. The government provides land, agricultural tools and other resources, recruits tenants on a large scale to cultivate, first allows the people to put into production as much as possible, and then gradually grants land to the households in the next three to five years.
When Li Element and others heard this idea, they were also very interested, and they each stated and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of this method, and most of them agreed with it.
It is not easy for the people to be newly attached, and once something happens that the government decree is not in order, it is very likely to trigger a large number of escapes. At present, he can't focus on internal affairs, and he is facing a tear with the imperial court in addition to border troubles. The government can organize production to avoid large-scale loss of people and land, and at the same time, the pressure resistance is also higher, and the overall planning of water conservancy can be maintained.
If it was the previous line, it would still face the dilemma of a shortage of state and county officials. But now that the examination and selection system has been established, a steady stream of talents can join the company, and they can be sent to the prefecture and county to organize reclamation, which is also convenient for discovering a group of follower cadres.
Of course, this idea is not all good, once the government organizes reclamation, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the original farming and weaving environment. In the long run, it will accumulate into a serious social problem and shake some of the originally stable social foundations.
After some consultations, Li Yuan and others made another proposal, in addition to imposing a clear deadline on this emergency official tun, they should also give certain compensation and comfort to the original homesteaders.
Li Tong also deeply agreed with this, and refined this compensation policy into economic and cultural aspects, specifically in terms of the implementation of the Taiwan decree, that is, the gift of the civil lord and the issuance of the right to Ding.
Naturally, there is no need to say much about the people, as far as the Qin and Han dynasties, as far as the Tang family's entrepreneurship, and even during the Tang period of the Wu and Zhou dynasties, many people were given. In modern times, the title of Citizen was only an honorary title, and did not contain material rewards.
Of course, Xingtai's current financial situation cannot be universally gifted, but it can impose a privilege on the people, that is, it will no longer use rent adjustment as a form of taxation, but will be levied by the two-tax law.
The regulation of rents and mediocrity pursued by the imperial court was based on the equalization of land system, and the ideal state was that the cultivators had their own fields, those who had Ding had mediocrity, and those who had households had adjustments.
Even without considering the destruction of the Kannai land system, the rent regulation first restricted the production mode of the households, stipulating the types of materials to be produced, so that the people could only produce to meet their own needs after paying the rent adjustment, and it was difficult for them to carry out other economic activities.
The two taxes are directly levied and no longer stipulate the types of goods, so that the economic needs of small households are released, and they can participate in different economic activities according to their own economic needs. Especially for a narrow township like Chang'an, which has few land and many people, it is undoubtedly a great liberation of the people's power.
The people of the Guannai prefectures granted that the production activities of those who originally owned land could be unrestricted, and other cash crops with higher returns could be planted on the land. And Guantun itself can ensure that the grain production in the customs is maintained on a safe line, and that they complement each other rather than compete.
As for Ding Quan, it is mainly the right to education and the right to homestead, and the township community has set up primary schools, and all men and middle-aged men in private households can be enrolled for free, with "Thousand Character Text", "Filial Piety Classic" and "Yonghui Law" as the teaching content. After the middle-aged man or above, after becoming a Ding, the government grants one acre of residential land and is exempted from the levy of forced labor for three years, and if it is added to the Ding within three years, it is exempted for two years.
Ding Quan is not a new household, an old household, as long as the state or county where the family has served for five years, it will be automatically obtained.
Xingtai has previously had many orders to benefit the people and encourage fertility, and now it is a summary on the basis of the previous one. In particular, the initial implementation of the two taxes has brought Taiwan politics into a new dimension, and as for whether it is good or bad, it still needs to be tested by facts, and there will be no further and large-scale promotion until concrete results are seen.
Li Yuan and others originally thought that the center of affairs in the coming year would still be in the military aspect, but after a series of civil affairs discussions, they found that the civil affairs in the coming year would also be a heavy task, and they would be better than in previous years, and they didn't know whether to be happy or complain for a while.
