One thousand one hundred and thirteen Therefore, he firmly pursued the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business
The Wei Empire's hukou was not limited to peasant households.
With the previous policies to support the development of industry and commerce, the population of the market in cities and towns has also increased, and many people have begun to choose to operate industry and commerce, not just agriculture.
Because they are mostly engaged in commerce and handicrafts, and are not engaged in agriculture, the population is more mobile than agriculture, and it is inconvenient to count and conscript, so the military service system is not compulsory for these people.
However, in order to prevent future changes, some people have used the acquisition of urban hukou and the practice of commerce and handicrafts as a means of evading military service.
The proportion of taxes levied on these industries should be increased.
After the introduction of the formal military service system, the preferential tax policies for commerce and handicrafts will be abolished and raised to the point of surpassing agricultural taxes.
In addition, all kinds of government miscellaneous servants also give priority to recruiting people who do not work in rural households to participate.
If the child's military service is not allowed in the relevant industry, an additional military tax exemption will be required for three consecutive years for one son of appropriate age.
And until the age of forty, they have to pay an additional amount of exempt military tax every year.
This tax is based on the amount of property and the annual income of the family.
This type of household registration must be counted by the Ministry of Civil Affairs every year, and then submitted to the emperor, who will confirm it and send it to the Ministry of Finance, and then the Imperial Ministry of Finance will personally implement the collection of the tax increase, and no local interference is allowed.
Of course, if this type of household registration takes the initiative to enroll in military service for children, they can be exempted from paying military service and conscription taxes, and can also get incentives for reduced commercial taxes.
In short, the traditional means of valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce and the military service system should be restored together, and the policy of supporting non-governmental commerce and handicrafts should be changed.
Farming households that were previously widely supported and engaged in small businesses while running agriculture will also be classified as commercial households, and the tax ratio will be changed.
For the empire, the most important thing was always agriculture, and only then commerce and handicrafts.
Agriculture is not only about the basic base of the empire, but also about the source of soldiers and the control of the empire over the grassroots, which is the red line.
Because no one can skip a meal.
Heavy agriculture and suppression of business is not a bad policy, and the basic spirit and principles will continue to be applied until there is a revolutionary leap in the human productive forces.
And at least in the current era, this is a necessary policy for maintaining social stability, and it cannot be shaken.
Business can be supported, but there must be no concession on the issue of taxation, and their size and size must be controlled, and they must not be allowed to develop to the point of eroding the agricultural sector.
Otherwise, once there is a situation of commercial and agricultural competition for population and land, the basic plate of the empire will be shaken, the foundation of the Wei Empire will be completely destroyed, and the tax and military will be powerless.
At that time, the Wei Empire's vast territorial and military defense system would be shattered.
The ruling area that has been finally expanded out is about to retract to the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.
This is something that Guo will never allow.
Every inch of land he seized had an economic or strategic value, and it could not be discarded at will.
Therefore, he resolutely pursued the policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing business.
At present, at a time when the commercial development of this place is quite prosperous, the time has come to draw the blood of commerce to feed agriculture.
There is no doubt that the sons of officials need to join the army, whether civilian or military, nobles or ordinary bureaucrats.
It is a mandatory rule that at least one male per household should serve in the military.
If you don't have a son, it's another matter, if you have a son, you have to deliberately hide it or something, and after being found out, it will be a prison order for three generations not to participate in the imperial examination, as a punishment.
In order to maintain and consolidate such a nascent military system, Guo took great pains to formulate various policies.
In order to maintain the strong military strength of the Wei army, it can be regarded as formulating a military service system belonging to the Wei Empire on the basis of the military service system of the Western Han Dynasty.
In addition to the military service system, Guo Peng also formulated a police system, and prepared to further transform the forces responsible for urban security into police, so that the urban security management forces and the army were completely separated and no longer had relevant connections.
These will not be officially implemented until later, but it does not prevent Guo from starting to formulate a practical system now.
After suppressing the rebellion of the scholars, Guo someone, who finally stabilized his position and evolved into the true emperor, finally had the heart and energy to do something else.
For example, to promote the disarmament and regularization of the armed forces.
And if we want to complete this task, we must completely end the war between Yizhou and Liangzhou.
The military battalions in Yizhou and Liangzhou have not completed their disarmament plans because there are still battles to be fought.
Yizhou wants to fight the four counties in the south and central China, and Liangzhou wants to fight the countries of the Western Regions, which are both important tasks, so Guo Peng also sent 20,000 central guards to Yizhou and Liangzhou respectively to strengthen the military strength of these two departments.
According to the degree of difficulty, Guo Peng ordered Le Jin, the governor of Chengdu Daying, Yizhou, at the end of the seventh year of Yande, and ordered Le Jin to be the main general and lead 80,000 Wei troops in the Yizhou area to attack the four counties of Nanzhong, ending the supernumerary history of the four counties of Nanzhong.
Guo, who is good at ending history, has just ended the history of his protégé and the dual monarchy, and now of course he has to go one step further and end the supernumerary history of the four counties in Nanzhong.
The Yong clan united with some other local tyrants and barbarians in Nanzhong to form a joint autonomous body to fight against the power of the central Wei government, from about three years and four years of Yande to the present, Guo has not been able to free up his hands to clean them up.
Of course, the main reason is that the roads have not been repaired, the transportation in all parts of Shuzhong is not connected enough, and the battle of 80,000 troops needs too many materials, and the rear must be very difficult when fighting, and the order has not been given.
Le Jin led the army to stay in Shuzhong for several years, and then built roads, and trained to the death when there was nothing else to do, so that the army could get used to the climate and mountain warfare in Shuzhong.
At the same time, he also sat and watched the changes in Luoyang with full pets.
Over the years, one after another big news has been transmitted from Luoyang to Shuzhong, and one by one has made the two of them frightened and emotional, feeling that if they are in the center of such a whirlpool, they will definitely not be able to get benefits, and they will be unlucky.
Especially the big change from the sixth year of Yande to the seventh year of Yande, which can scare Man Zhong and Lejin a lot.
"I'm okay, I'm leading the troops, and I don't care about government affairs, you see that there have been few unlucky people who have led the troops over the years, as long as you take care of your hands, feet and mouth, you can't be an official, who knows when it will suddenly be bad."
Lejin felt very fortunate that he did not become a civilian official but as a military general, and the more he went on, the more he felt lucky, and the more he felt that it was right not to participate in government affairs.
There are more feelings of full pets.
"Now that I think about it, it may be a good thing that His Majesty has not let me go back to the Central Committee for so many years, staying in Yizhou, although it is not as good as Luoyang, but it has also avoided those things that cannot be explained, the key is that no one I have thought that His Majesty can do these things......"
For Guo Peng's large-scale means of decisively suppressing the scholars and implicating thirty or forty thousand people in one go, Man Zhong was frightened.
He felt that he would not have the courage and courage to do so no matter what, let alone think that the scholars would be where they are today.
At that time, he didn't know about this, and expressing his support for Guo Peng's decision was something that he should have done as a long-time cronie.
Although he also had doubts, his keen political sense helped him.
He didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he opposed the abolition of the imperial examination.
But he won't do it after all, as the former official of the Guo family who Guo Peng picked up, he can't do that kind of thing.
