There was such an impulse in his heart, and he issued an edict to deal with these ghosts, ghosts, snakes, and gods in Luoyang, but he was only impulsive. Anger is anger, but for Liu Chengyou, he is not so carried away by anger.

Although the situation in Luoyang is serious and can even be described as bad, with the current situation, it is not enough to say how much fault these officials have really made.

In the general environment of barrenness and slackness, officials have "practiced what they do" and actively appeased Dingkou, cultivated agriculture, resumed production, and created tax revenue for the state, which should be worthy of "encouragement." What really made Liu Chengyou feel angry and frightened was that the methods and eating of these officials were too difficult to see, and the problem of occupying the people involved was basically digging the corners of the imperial court, and most importantly, the tax issue.

According to the old system, the land occupied by these officials was subject to the usual summer and autumn taxes, except for a portion of the land that was exempt from tax according to the rank of the officials. But there is too much room for manoeuvre, and you can imagine what will happen if you let the bureaucrats collect their own land for the state.

And among the occupying bureaucrats, there is no shortage of high-ranking figures like Su Fengji. In addition, today, the local finances have not yet been returned to the central government, and only a small part of the local finances and taxes are sent to Tokyo, and the amount depends on the consciousness of the local bureaucrats and generals.

Taking Xijing as an example, if the normal tax revenue pool is concerned, how much tax revenue can be collected around Luoyang must definitely be marked with a big question mark, and tax evasion, tax evasion, and even tax resistance may be the basic means of this group of bureaucrats. It is almost certain that most of the wealth will come from the yeoman or semi-yeoman farmers who occupy only half of the land.

At the same time, most of the tax collected should be used for the normal operating expenses of the Xijing Bureau, the supply of the garrison, and the maintenance of those lords and nobles. What can be transported to Tokyo for the imperial court to call, you can imagine what a small amount it will be.

In fact, this is the case with the autumn tax last year.

Directly reminiscent of the situation in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin's redemption policy, although it collected military power and suppressed military ministers, but also gave birth to a large number of aristocratic landlords, lords, bureaucrats and even local tycoons, who could legally annex land and buy mansions and estates. As far as the state is concerned, the taxes must not be collected, and a large amount of rice, grain, and cloth must be taken out every year to support them, and the lords and bureaucrats have to take the money. This is really a heavy burden on the country's finances.

Zhao Kuangyin relied on land, money, honor, and rewards to buy the hearts of the army, so as to achieve the purpose of "releasing military power with a glass of wine" and solving the "root cause" of the military rebellion since the end of the Tang Dynasty, but it also greatly accelerated the accumulation and outbreak of land contradictions under the feudal dynasty.

One thing to say, if you are Zhou Shizong Guo Rong, he will definitely not choose such a means, not because of the gap in ability, but because of his personality. Guo Rong is resolute and anxious, in order to increase the country's financial endowment, but he has even done "destroying the Buddha", how can he put such a burden on the country.

Thinking a little farther away, Liu Chengyou can also understand a little more thoroughly, the Song Dynasty set up a transfer envoy in the Zhulu Prefecture to grasp the purpose of local wealth. In addition to strengthening the central government's fiscal and taxation and cutting down the financial power of the local governments, I am afraid that it is also confined to the dangerous and tense national situation of the land. If we do not separate finance and taxation and let the local bureaucrats operate it, we will see if they will abolish their selfishness and patriotism, or whether they will not be afraid of power and fulfill their duties.

Far away for the time being, now the problem is in front of Liu Chengyou, how to deal with it?

Issuing an edict to seize his land and house is the simplest and most rude way to cause chaos. And the effect is likely to backfire. Moreover, not all of these people's land was illegally occupied. A one-size-fits-all approach may lose people's hearts.

Raising taxes is a slightly more modest approach, but I am afraid the results will not be satisfactory. More likely, it is these "rich producers" who shift the pressure onto the tenants who farm for them.

However, such a situation must be contained, and a lot of appropriate systems and policies can be thought of, but no matter how good the policy is, someone must implement it, and Liu Chengyou lacks people, and even more lacks authority. Even at this moment, he issued an edict strictly prohibiting officials in the world from enclosing land and occupying the people without permission, who is he? If class interests are moved, they will inevitably lead to a revolt by the masses.

"Perhaps, I still need a cool officer?" Liu Chengyou muttered silently in his heart.

However, a little fortunately, "the ship is small and easy to turn around", after decades of war, even though the Han Dynasty has taken over a lot of tired dynasties, but the bureaucratic force is actually not strong. As long as the central government is strong enough and the imperial power and the majesty of the imperial court are established, sooner or later it will be able to promote a solution.

How strong the central government is, how to establish the majesty of imperial power, in the end, has to be pulled to the army. There is no way, in this era, everything will inevitably point to military power, the army is the foundation, and power is the truth.

In terms of the general aspect, land policies and systems still need to be reformulated according to the needs of national conditions.

The situation in the whole world is definitely not as serious as that of Luoyang, after all, no matter how much land is occupied, there must be enough people to cultivate. In the stage of chaos and governance, land is not valuable, and people are more important. Moreover, only in terms of localities, if those towns, towns, and towns want to accumulate wealth, how can they allow their subordinate officials to be too presumptuous and affect local finances and taxes. Of course, the biggest landlord has to count those festivals, observations, defenses, and regimental training envoys......

On the side of Luoyang, with its special political status in Xijing, the situation is obviously a little deformed, and in response to this, Liu Chengyou also has to think of something to suppress it.

"Army." Liu Chengyou muttered in a low voice.

Li Shaoyou stood at His Royal Highness, almost watching Liu Chengyou turn from anger to yin, and then completely return to his blandness, sitting there in contemplation. Suddenly, Liu Chengyou spoke up, and he came to his senses, but he was a little confused about Liu Chengyou's mention of the "army". He thinks that his mind is flexible and his reaction is fast, but at this time, he also feels that he can't keep up with Liu Chengyou's train of thought, and his sacred heart is unpredictable.

Coming back to his senses, Liu Chengyou glanced at Li Shaoyou, and suddenly asked curiously: "Since there are many ministers in Tokyo who have landed in Luoyang, what about your family?" ”

Liu Chengyou's question made Li Shaoyou frightened, did this fire burn on himself? Carefully paying attention to Liu Chengyou's expression, calm as usual, Li Shaoyou paused slightly, and replied honestly: "Father and son, there are three manors, ten acres of land, and about 100 farmers. ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou nodded: "Since I ascended the throne, I have not given you and my uncle any reward, these manors and lands should be my reward." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Shaoyou immediately thanked him, looking grateful.

After a little muttering, Liu Chengyou tapped his index finger on the table, and solemnly instructed Li Shaoyou: "Xijing Zhannong officials, give me a strict investigation and careful investigation, and sort out a list of those who have serious circumstances, cruel methods, and rampant lawlessness!" ”

Li Shaoyou was surprised at first, and then suddenly and quickly gave up his hand: "Obey!" ”

He knew in his heart that according to Liu Chengyou's temperament and methods, he was afraid that he wanted to kill chickens and monkeys again, and Tokyo was going to make waves. At the same time, there is also some contempt for those greedy courtiers and officials, especially those former courtiers. He has no credit for the country, but he doesn't know how to restrain himself when he seeks personal gain. Liangjing is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and after being governed, it is an important financial and tax area directly under the imperial court.

The country is short of money and food, and from another perspective, this can be regarded as a robbery of money and people in the hands of the imperial court. Especially for the matter of grabbing people, the country needs people to cultivate, but many of these officials forced the common people as tenants. After thinking about it, Li Shaoyou gradually figured out in his mind what kind of list he should provide Liu Chengyou.

Occupying too much land is a condition, and who has more people is the most critical factor. As for "oppressing the good, running rampant in the villages, and preying on the common people", these are just not sufficient conditions.

Of course, Liu Chengyou's side probably has a similar idea, directly seizing your land and releasing your peasants, which seems that the imperial court is strict and ugly, but it is always a legitimate reason to rectify corruption, maintain law and discipline, and punish lawbreakers. By the way, or can you copy a home?
