One Thousand and Twenty-Three The gradual normalization of the Wei Empire

These diehards have a certain ill-flair towards anything that comes their way.

They insisted that the way of sitting in the wine shop was Hu Sitting, and called on their relatives and friends not to eat in the wine shop, and resolutely not to eat in Hu Sitting, so as to maintain the dignity of their ancestors.

They just like to elevate things they are not accustomed to to the ancestral level at every turn, and then use this to occupy the moral high ground and reduce the dimensionality of things that they are not accustomed to and do not meet their interests.

The ancestor told them to have a teaching, why didn't he see them obey?

The patriarch also asked them to worship ghosts and gods, but how could they not see them obey?

One or two of them are very 6 playing metaphysics and playing ghosts and gods, and they still worship ghosts and gods every day after reading so many books.

Shameless!

The same double standard as someone Guo, the same shamelessness!

So Chen Lin led the royal literati team to engage in one bad mouth battle after another with them every year, fiercely competing for the right to speak, and fiercely confronting the existence of this matter itself.

Because of this part, although Guo intends to fully introduce tables, chairs and benches to the official level and realize his dream of dragon chairs, he also has to take into account the existence of these diehards.

No change happens overnight......

That's all he can think of.

The spread of the people was not influenced and controlled by these scholars, but the impact of the changes at the highest level was indeed great.

Regarding Guo Peng's demand, Chen Lin once tried to use the matter of Zhao Wuling's king Hu Fu riding and shooting to refute this matter and forcibly achieve the goal, but was stopped by Guo someone.

Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu cavalry shooting was for the military, in order to counterattack the Huns, it was a military event, there was a great righteousness, there was the impetus of the army and external oppression, so it had to be successfully implemented.

And tables, chairs, benches, and the like are not military affairs.

There is no strong internal and external impetus, there is no need to seem, and it has been involved in a dispute between sitting and sitting, so it has become more tortuous for the official level to promote this matter.

In this regard, Guo also felt quite helpless.

Despite this, the liquor shop developed without restrictions, and the arguments of the scholars did not affect the actual needs of the people.

After the emergence of the liquor store, it was very popular with some local grassroots officials and the local garrison, and the group that did not have the concept of sitting on the ground did not care about it.

Up to now, there are more than 20 liquor shops in Luoyang, each with its own special brewed wine and the chef's special dishes as signboards to attract customers.

In addition to bureaucrats and wealthy families, private business travelers also began to gradually step into the wine shop, and began to try to enjoy this kind of meal that was not made by their own family in the wine shop.

Guo had expected this.

As Guo gradually reduced the proportion of taxes paid by the people of Tuntian, and proposed various policies to support small merchants and hawkers, a group of people who worked hard with their own hands and gradually accumulated wealth began to emerge from the common Li Shu class.

Since the first year of Yande, Guo began to gradually reduce taxes for the people of Tuntian.

It was intended to gradually liberate them from the agrarian system of wartime, and to slowly transform the wartime economy into a normal agrarian economy.

In the state of Tuntian, the taxes paid by the people of Tuntian to Guo were far more than the amount of agricultural taxes in the normal dynasty.

It was a wartime economic policy that exploited the peasant peasants far beyond normal conditions in order to cope with the army's far more frequent and high-intensity conquests than normal.

In such a mode, Guo can also ensure that they will eat and will not starve to death, to such an extent.

In the war-torn season, such a policy ensured that Guo had sufficient military rations to use, ensured his logistics and confidence, and ensured that he had the economic foundation to unify the country as a warlord in troubled times.

So the Wei army continued to win, they were well fed, trained very well and timely, and had high combat skills, so that the hungry Huazi army was beaten to the ground.

Therefore, he did not relax in exploiting the peasants and squeezing Li Shu.

Not only that, but also tried every means to cut the leeks of the Haoqiangshi clan.

As long as it is the area covered by his ruling power, no one will be left behind anyway, and he will squeeze them wholeheartedly and obtain capital from them for the unification war to continue.

At the same time, because Guo eliminated the middlemen, the supreme power went directly to the countryside and opened up the upper and lower channels, so the amount of food obtained far exceeded Guo people's own imagination.

Guo originally thought that he didn't get much, so he set the tax ratio very high, just to prevent the peasants from starving.

But after the implementation, he found that the food he had obtained was too much, nearly 40% more than expected.

So he really realized how much benefit the people had squeezed out between the emperor and Li Shu.

After the most difficult entrepreneurial era passed, Guo Mou had actually begun to gradually reduce the burden of the people of Tuntian, began to gradually increase their rations, and used various policies and incentives to reduce the burden on them in disguise.

However, because of the fear of poverty, the tax ratio has not been lowered, and it is always a reserve for the aftermath of the war.

The entire Guo Wei regime was still a standard war locomotive before Guo Peng became emperor, running very sharply and at high speed, crushing all the warlords who stood in front of Guo someone.

The tax reduction plan that was really implemented at the policy level began after the first year of Yande.

In order to obtain this popularity alone, and not let this popularity be touted to Liu Jian by the remnants of the Han Empire, Guo also took great pains.

Realizing the unsustainability of the Tuntian policy, which had maintained a high tax rate for a long time, Guo began to formulate a policy to gradually reduce the proportion of taxes paid by the people of Tuntian.

Less is taken away, and more is left for the peasants.

The wartime economic model was gradually relaxed, and the peasants were gradually loosened and no longer squeezed excessive taxes from them, so as to give the peasants a certain economic strength and return to normal economic policies.

Then he slowly stopped the powerful chariot of the Guo Wei Empire, got on the right track, and began to move slowly and normally.

Wartime economic policies cannot be sustained for long, and there is a limit to the extent to which people can endure oppression, and no ruler should challenge this limit.

Otherwise, it won't be long before Guo will start suppressing the peasant uprising.

Because he knew, since the operation of the tuntian system, there has not been a single peasant uprising in the territory under the jurisdiction of Guo Wei's regime, and this has been the case since Guo became emperor.

It is certainly not possible to liberalize the wartime economic policy in one fell swoop.

It also takes time to adjust all kinds of supporting policies, and we must not suddenly put on the brakes on the war locomotive, but must slow down the speed.

Moreover, the slow liberalization can also continue to win the hearts of the people for a long time, which will help the rule of the Wei regime to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

So since the first year of Yande, the people of Tuntian have gradually paid a lot less taxes with the support of Guo someone's policy.

Guo's propaganda slogan has also changed.

From working hard to feed the fields to reaping more than one harvest, he began to call on the peasants to work hard for their own good life, and the more they harvested, the more they earned, because the taxes of the imperial court were decreasing.

In this way, the peasants' enthusiasm for production will be activated.

Therefore, since the first year of Yande, although various small-scale natural disasters have not stopped, after the implementation of the policy of reducing the proportion of taxes, the taxes collected by the government have not decreased, but have continued to increase slightly.

The reason for this is that the propaganda department has stepped up its propaganda efforts to make farmers realize that they are no longer cultivating their fields for a bite to eat.

His Majesty the Emperor took pity on their difficult lives, changed the policy, and began to reduce the proportion of contributions.

In the future, the harder you cultivate, the more you will harvest, but the court will take less and less, so that you will get more and more in your hands.

So the more diligent and hard you are, the more you can eat enough and the more you can eat.

Let's try to eat to support your stomach!

After the court shouted such slogans, the peasants were mobilized.

This policy greatly increased the peasants' enthusiasm for production, and although the proportion of taxes was always decreasing, the income from agricultural taxes in the Wei Empire continued to increase.

The peasants gave full play to their own initiative, and the smallholder economy began to rejuvenate itself.

Therefore, the more diligent and willing people are, the more they can get, and their lives will become better and better.

The surplus gradually accumulates and becomes a large amount of wealth.

With the passage of time, this wealth will gradually accumulate, and it will become more and more, which will give farmers the confidence to make daily consumption.

According to the investigation of the Linzi camp, this is indeed the case.

Then, Guo promulgated an economic policy to support the small business of small traders and hawkers.

Subsequently, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Civil Affairs were ordered to send people to the countryside to preach the main points of this policy.

For example, the government will support the surplus labor of rural families to start small businesses, open small shops, run the business of the neighborhood, or go to the main traffic arteries to sell food.

Anyway, using the surplus labor at home to run a small business can be regarded as a rational use of labor and earning some pocket money.

Anyone who does so will be exempt from commercial tax for three years from the start.

Guo also ordered the Ministry of Finance to study the Ministry of Finance and arrange branches in various prefectures and counties.

According to the policy standards of the imperial court, the households that intend to operate a small business will be reviewed, and if the conditions are met, interest-free or low-interest loans can be given to support the small business.

This policy is completely implemented by the central government, without local policy interference, and the leading power lies with the Ministry of Finance, and local governments are not allowed to interfere in the support plans of the Central Ministry of Finance.

Guo put forward such a policy to support the development of private small businesses, support the development of the tertiary industry from the bottom, revitalize the economy, and make the economy prosperous.

At that time, there were still many officials in the DPRK and China who did not understand this.

They don't know what Guo is doing when he takes out such a sum of money from the treasury and scatters it to the people.

Aren't you afraid of splashing around?

Isn't it good to use it to give benefits to everyone?

Every official felt strange in their hearts.

Because no emperor has ever done this before.

Although Guo Peng has also done many things that previous emperors did not do.

Guo doesn't plan to argue with them now, and when the time comes, it will be more appropriate to discuss the financial revenue statement directly.

From the first year of Yande to the fourth year of Yande, although the war was still going on, on the whole, the core areas of the Wei Empire, the Central Plains and Hebei, had settled down, and people began to live a normal life.

The hotels, liquor stores and small private shops that emerged with this wave of support did indeed begin to prosper.

Because of the support of Guo, many officials began to call three or five friends to a wine shop to have a meal and drink to exchange feelings on a holiday.

It is especially prevalent among the group of poor officials.

In the local area, low-level officials from Li Shu are more popular, and go to small wine shops to eat some small dishes and drink some wine.

Similarly, some scholars and officials were not afraid of the strange eyes of their colleagues, and boldly chose to go to the wine shop to enjoy new gadgets.
