Faced with the words of the court and the court to kneel down and ask for the retraction of his fate, Liang Jia was silent. As soon as he proposed to collect taxes according to the acres of land, he got such a big resistance, and if the follow-up introduced the integration of officials and gentry to pay taxes, it is estimated that someone will have breakfast.

He threw out the plan for tax reform today and made up his mind that it would be impossible to take it back. Even if there is fierce resistance, he will push it by force.

"I don't know what you're against? Competing with the people? Or is it infringing on your own interests? Liang Jia spoke, his voice low, obviously suppressing his anger.

No one answered, and it was impossible to answer.

Liang Jia continued: "My Great Liang State has a tax income of six million taels a year, one-third of the military expenditure, one share of the four million taels of officials under me, and a part of the internal payment, so what is left about two million taels of taxes to do?" Shandong drought, the imperial court can not even take out the disaster relief silver, before the ravages of the Liukou, the three floods, the imperial court allocated a total of 100,000 taels for disaster relief. Is this a joke? What is 100,000 taels enough for the land of the three provinces? If the imperial court had money, and when the three provinces were flooded, and the disaster relief was timely, would there still be such a thing as Zhao Qingzhong ravaging the Gyeonggi region and Dong Qixiong occupying Sichuan? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister proposed to increase the agricultural tax, as long as it is increased by 20%, there will be at least two million taels of silver." An official suddenly raised his head and said in a loud voice.

"Oh, what's your name?" Liang Jia didn't know each other, so he asked.

"Zhang Zhiying, the servant of the Ministry of Households."

Liang Jia nodded, and then asked, "Since you are an official of the household department, you can tell me, how much is the tax now?" ”

"One out of fifteen."

"Fifteen draws one? When I was in the Taizu Dynasty, I remember that it was one out of thirty, but now it's all in half. So do you think this fifteen draws are light or heavy? ”

"Actually, it's heavy. But the court needs money to do things, and it can only sacrifice them. Zhang Zhiying gritted his teeth and said.

"That's a good point. How many people agree with this view? Liang Jia asked the others.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" An old man stepped forward.

"Name your name and official position, and then speak your opinion." Liang Jia said loudly.

Then some people began to stand up from the registration number to seconded Zhang Zhiying's opinion. The seven ministers of the Administration Department knelt on the ground and did not second. Although they oppose Liang Jia's plan, they don't want to directly confront Liang Jia, this is a direct slap in the face, and it is intolerable to anyone.

What's more, they were all pulled up by Liang Jia, if they stood up against it at this time, it is estimated that after returning home tonight, the holy decree to remove them will follow.

In the end, when no one spoke, Liang Jia roughly counted it, and more than fifty officials came out to agree with Zhang Zhiying's opinion, and there were people from all yamen, most of whom were not of high grade.

"Deliver the decree, remove Zhang Zhiying, the head of the household department, from his official position, dismiss the official and go home, today all the officials in the palace who agree with Zhang Zhiying's opinion are dismissed, and the Jinyi guard investigates the family situation of these officials, and finds that if there is a violation of the laws of the imperial court, it will be severely punished!"

Zhang Zhiying and the more than fifty officials were instantly dumbfounded, and then hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

How could Liang Jia let them go, and immediately let the guards outside the palace come in, ah, these guys took off all their official mansions and official hats, and threw them out of the palace.

More than fifty officials were dismissed at once, and the entire court was silent, and many officials looked at the young and excessive emperor on the throne with a little fear. How long has he really been in power, and he has even killed killers, is he going to be the enemy of the world?

Many officials decided not to speak, since the emperor was obsessed, then when he hit his head and broke the blood, he had to count on them to clean up the mess.

As a result, Liang Jia's tax reform plan was passed in this early dynasty.

After going down to the court, Jinyiwei immediately sent the preliminary information of the investigation into the palace. More than 50 officials, and a few of the first to investigate, without exception, all had cases of embezzlement and bribery, and their family assets were very rich, all of which were more than 100,000 taels.

Jinyiwei moved very fast, and in just two days, more than 50 officials were all searched, and one of them had no family property and not much land in his hometown.

Liang Jia, who did not have any property, not only did not blame him for opposing his tax reform plan, but directly promoted him. And the rest of the people were all arrested and punished in prison, and they definitely didn't show any mercy to them.

More than 50 officials were dealt with at once, and although they did not directly cut off their heads, this intensity also caused public opinion to pause.

Especially under the special propaganda of Jin Yiwei, Liang Jia was in trouble with the ministers in order to cancel the poll tax, and those officials who opposed it were all bad officials who were corrupt and bribed, and their families had a lot of land. Such propaganda immediately won the support of ordinary people.

Coupled with the hype of Jinyiwei all over the country after receiving the secret report, Liang Jia was invisibly promoted to the image of Mingjun. Only Ming Jun will consider the life and death of ordinary people, and will compete with those high-ranking officials and nobles for the interests of the common people.

As a result, when Liang Jia's tax reform plan was sent to the whole country with Di Bao, it was immediately fully supported by ordinary people.

They not only supported this reform plan for their own interests, but also to support Liang Jia, the emperor who thought about the people. The abolition of the poll tax and the taxation according to the acres of land can be seen by everyone, after all, the vast majority of the land is in the hands of the rich, and how much land is ACI in the hands of the common people.

A vigorous tax reform has been set off all over the country, and wherever the implementation is not effective, Dongchang and Jinyiwei should not be supervised, and the local people will directly exercise their supervisory duties. Every time there is an incident where a large number of ordinary people gather to storm the yamen, in this way, the local government can't hide it, Dongchang and Jinyiwei follow closely behind, what should be killed, what should be closed,

In just one month, the measurement of acres across the country has been almost done, and it is extremely fast, which was unimaginable in the past.

Because all the land is measured under the supervision of Jinyi Wei in various places, there are very few false data and fraud. Liang Jia has already issued a notice, if there is a mistake, you can go directly to the capital to sue the royal court, and Liang Jia will personally inquire about it.

The current Jinyiwei has just been established and has not yet become an old fritter, so Liang Jia is still relieved of the seriousness of the work.

After the land was measured, the number of acres and the list of holders in various places were copied to the local government and sent to the capital as soon as possible. Just when these materials arrived in the capital, Liang Jia once again released a plan. This plan made the court officials stunned again, while the common people cheered.
