Chapter 110: Reform! Reform!

The meeting was held very smoothly, and under the auspices of Liu Hong, whose power had reached an unprecedented peak, no one dared to have the slightest disrespectful words and deeds, even some local officials who had already taken the initiative to kneel down and tell their crimes, and Liu Hong also took this opportunity to begin to implement and announce a large number of reform measures.

The first is to change the era name to Zhongping, and then the reform of the tax law

Lin Xu integrated the Qing Dynasty's apportionment system into mu with the Han Dynasty's current household system, land tax and population tax, and compiled a new tax system according to the actual situation of the Han Dynasty: the apportionment of households into mu system

Now the taxes of the Han Dynasty are indeed a bit disgusting, and the oral endowment: children between the ages of seven and fourteen have to pay taxes as long as they are alive, and there are also calculations for adults, from 15 to 56 years old, regardless of men and women, each person collects taxes every year, and even girls who have not married at the age of marriage have to pay single taxes.

In addition, in the dark and dim period of Liu Hong before, in order to welcome him, the ten permanent servants set up all kinds of clever names and wantonly set up harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes to gather wealth, although they were somewhat restrained later, but in order to attack the Northern Xiongnu, those taxes have not been completely abolished until now.

If it weren't for Mi Zhu's constant milk and blood during this time, even the court meeting and the heavenly sacrifice ceremony might not be so grand. In order to sell the spoils of war to Lin Xu and Liu Hong at the greatest value, Mi Zhu ran everywhere, and he didn't even have time to go home to reunite with his wife during the New Year's Festival.

And now, under Lin Xu's repeated guarantees of income, Liu Hong made up his mind to completely clear the miscellaneous taxes set up by the Ten Standing Servants, and began to force the implementation of a new tax law: the system of households entering the mu,

The most important of these is the addition of a private upper limit on land, which determines the upper limit of a person's land ownership according to the size of the official position and title, and strictly prohibits the unrestricted annexation of land. And on this basis, the fields are rechecked and the land is distributed.

For example, ordinary adult men can own 100 acres of land, and Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, is now a Dasi Nong, who belongs to Jiuqing, and the land owned by his personal name cannot exceed 10,000 mu.

As soon as this law came out, it was immediately resisted by hundreds of officials, if this field law was really implemented, the degree of shrinkage of the real estate they owned was immeasurable, like Cao Song, the land owned by all the Cao family was more than 100,000 mu! If Tianmu is re-approved, even if there are many officials in the Cao family now, there are still two people in high positions, and it would be good to be able to legally leave two-thirds of the land property in the end.

Therefore, for the sake of their own century-old interests, all officials unanimously believe that this law seriously restricts the development prospects of the people, is not good for the country, and is a policy for the country.

And Lin Xu wanted to scold at that time, if an ordinary person could really have a hundred acres of land to cultivate, Dahan would not be so poor at all now! Most of the land has not yet been swallowed up by you families and landlords, and most of the so-called people are working under their households.

The taxes of the imperial court have to be paid, the landlord's rent has to be paid, and finally it falls into the hands of the people, there is only a little food left to feed the stomach, and now Lin Xu's new farming tools and cultivation methods have begun to be promoted.

In fact, the re-approval of acres of land can only be regarded as a loss of money for bureaucrats and families, and as long as the number of people in the clan is increased, the problem can be solved better, not to mention that most of the families in this era do not attach importance to property, as long as it is enough, the real blood is those landlords who have no official position!

And Lin Xu's main target is precisely these people, he has another arrangement for this kind of thing in the family, after all, the family itself has a very unusual strength, and it belongs to a valuable group, but the general landlord is different, if you want talents, you have no talents, you have no background, except for sucking blood on the people all day long, there is no other use, you must kill it!

In the end, after the collision between Liu Hong and Baiguan, it was decided that all the land that exceeded the upper limit of his own ownership would be leased by the imperial court, so after the approval of the acres of land this year, all those who exceeded the upper limit of their own land would have to pay rent to Liu Hong. Of course, the land granted by the marquis is not counted.

After the most difficult tax system is solved, it is the restructuring of commerce, there is no way to focus on agriculture and suppress business, Liu Hong has always been unhappy, but the restrictions have been lifted by car or something, and the entry tax has been changed to transaction tax, which is temporarily piloted in Luoyang, if it can be implemented in the entire Han Dynasty.

Then there was the amnesty of the world, which issued an amnesty decree for the Yellow Turbans, as long as the ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers were willing to abandon their weapons and surrender, they were exempted from all criminal responsibility, and the government arranged to rent the acres of land, good seeds, and cultivation tools, and collect rent, and after five years, the acres of land belonged to them, or a certain amount of money could be obtained in advance.

However, the big and small Qu Shuai had to go to Lishan Mountain in Luoyang to work for Lin Xu for three years, and then release him after three years, depending on his performance. This was specially requested by Lin Xu, not only that, but even the elite soldiers of the Yellow Turban would be moved to the vicinity of Lishan Mountain for cultivation and cultivation, and they would be subject to the dual supervision of the imperial court and Lin Xu.

Finally, there is the exciting appointment and dismissal of officials

Dasi Nong Cheng Kan Ze is the main, Lin Xu recommended Chen Qun, Xun Yue, Du Xi, and Wang Shuang to be responsible for promoting the reform of the tax system for acres of land, this combination is not nonsense, Kan Ze's arithmetic ability is obvious to all, Chen Qun and Xun Yue were born in the Yingchuan family, and using their identities to deal with other families can be said to be twice the result with half the effort.

Partial general Qian Fei is the main, Lin Xu recommended Xun You, Li Gan, Zhang He, Che Gao, Wang Lang as a supplement, light riding to the Western Regions, Xun You is good at giving advice, external foolishness and internal wisdom, in the Western Regions that complex situation can give full play to his ability, Li Gan is old and spicy, and can do things safely and can meet the Western Regions countries on the bright side, Wang Lang is knowledgeable, witty, rigorous and generous, and has a good understanding of various customs and human feelings in the Western Regions, with him, he can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. Zhang He and Che Gao were responsible for unifying the soldiers and horses of Ding Ling and Hu Jie, and were ready to fight from the bottom.

The governance of Wuheng, Xianbei and Qianghu in the north and Qianghu in the west is dominated by Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, Zhao Yan, Yan Xiang, Wei Kang, and Manzhong, Lin Xu's request is very simple, turn these places into the state-owned livestock farms of my Han Dynasty, and other alien races such as Qianghu and Wuheng who dare to make trouble don't need to pay attention, anyway, Gongsun Chan and Ma Teng He is ready, the saddle stirrup and horseshoes are all matched, Liu Yu has also been transferred back, if anyone dares not to make trouble, open the door and let Gongsun Chan!

The restructuring of the business is presided over by Mi Zhu, Cheng Yu was kicked by Lin Xu to assist, and the construction of the cement road was handed over to Lin Xu's housekeeper Xun Yu and Guo Tu, and Bian Zhang, who had just recovered from his injury, no way, there was no one, and Lin Xu, who was a small fish and shrimp, did not dare to entrust this kind of major event to the past, if this could not be completed, he would not be able to overturn the Northern Huns next year, and he would not be able to take the Western Regions, Liu Hong would definitely go berserk.

In the end, what was left was the yellow scarf, Lin Xu stood up righteously at that time and said that he had covered this matter, and it was proper, so he took away the partial generals Le Jin, Zang Ba, the talented Hua Xin, Xin Bi, Judge, Guo Tu, Xu You, Fu Zhu, Zhong Xuan.

In fact, this matter can only be done by Lin Xu, and it is not Lin Xukeng, who has a lot of talents, but the Yellow Turban is sincere, and the distribution is light, and he has a big head after receiving the information sent by Bu Ji and Bo Cai a few days ago.

Jizhou Black Mountain, Xihe Baibo Valley, Sichuan Shu Huanglong, Runan Gepi, Qingzhou Liu Shi, Xuzhou Yuancheng, these are still the remaining diehards after Bu Ji and Bo Cai wantonly collected the Yellow Turbans in various places, each with tens of thousands of soldiers and gathered hundreds of thousands of big forces.

Originally, Lin Xu thought that as long as Bu Ji and Bo Cai were released, he would be able to collect most of the yellow scarves, and when he got Liu Hong's pardon, he would be able to recruit them, smooth and simple without pressure, but he didn't expect these two pit goods to be so weak, almost none of the famous yellow turban warriors in history were not served, and he didn't dare to fight, and in the end he had to do it himself.

However, Lin Xu is ready to recruit Bu Ji and others first, set an example first, and then buy a horse bone with a thousand dollars, if you don't know how to be interested, then there is no way, go to Liu Hong to borrow 10,000 feather forests, grind them one by one, if you want to talk about famous generals, he has a lot of money in his hands now, let Bo Cai get a few leading parties, and it will take half a year to support the war.
