In the North Palace, Liu Chan took the new Chengguang Hall as his dormitory.

Liu Chan couldn't sleep, he stayed up all night, although he was very sleepy, he was an energetic teenager after all, and he could bear it.

The proposals of Dong Yun and Fei Yi are very reasonable and a good policy.

What made him even more worried and uneasy was the public opinion triggered by the autumn grain collection, because of the historical accumulation problem, but also because of the economic change caused by the development of industry and technology, several problems were intertwined, so that the Jiangdu court had to implement new grain taxes in Jingzhou and Xiangzhou, and the indignation of the people aroused was naturally vented to him, the new emperor.

Liu Chan didn't dare to disturb Sun Dahu, who was obviously pregnant, and walked alone in the corridor on the second floor of the palace wearing a collar of sheep, and through the guardrail, he could see the North Palace in the early morning, slightly covered by blue-gray mist.

The direction of the northwest corner is the Zhangde Palace, which is the sleeping palace of the first emperor, and now it is a cold palace that is cleaned regularly.

When the rooster crows in the palace, the bell and drum tower standing in the south of the Xuanwu Gate begins to beat the morning drum, and after the three morning drums, the doors will be opened, and the three official markets of Jiangdu will also be opened. The three official markets are the North Market, which is a luxury and precious food source; handmade products, swords, cloth, and living utensils; and bulky, cheap goods, located in the outer market at the docks.

Since this year, the commercial tax of the three official cities in Jiangdu has been unified into ten taxes and one; The tax cards of all places are also unified as one of the ten taxes; Compared with the previous 15th tax in the superficial sense, it is an increase of one-third of the tax rate.

Jiangdu also took the lead in implementing a grain tax of five taxes and one tax...... In the past, there was such a heavy grain tax, basically the food you grew was not enough for you to eat, and it would always be raised for military rations in various ways; Either it was forcibly requisitioned and raised by the government, or it was collected and taken away by Haoqiang in the form of taxes and interest.

Therefore, it was a last resort method for the imperial court to collect household surveys in the local government, and it was no longer possible to maximize the collection of resources from grain, so it was necessary to open up new ways of collecting taxes to let the slack people actively run around.

As long as the household survey is collected, the people who lack textile tools can only grow more grain and other agricultural products in order to pay taxes; Take these to the Hao, or exchange the cloth in the official market, and then pay taxes with the cloth...... The implementation of the household survey system has ensured the collection of grain.

If the people do not have enough food to eat, they naturally cannot have savings, and they have no ability to resist risks.

With the slightest turmoil, they become carefree, homeless and disaster victims who have eaten the last meal but have not eaten the next meal.

Kemaicheng made looms on a large scale, and the promotion of new looms ...... As a result, after the imperial court received the cloth transferred by the household, it was unable to obtain food from other sources!

Even the local heroes like blood bags are also in the decline of the family industry in the promotion of the loom, the economy of the manor is depressed, and their own lives are still tight, and it is impossible to use the accumulated food to 'volunteer' the officials and soldiers to obtain special political treatment.

If this kind of tax system cannot be exchanged for grain, it can only be re-imposed with a new grain tax, and the five taxes look very heavy...... In fact, the people still have some savings, which is much better than before the promotion of the Maicheng loom.

At the very least, every household has decent clothes, so that they will not travel in rags and affect their outlook.

But the people are not satisfied, only when the family has surplus food, and when they face famine again, will they break out with hatred and unwillingness from the bone marrow.

Originally, Jingzhou has been turbulent since the Battle of Chibi, and those who are not suitable for the war have been eliminated; Those who survived had become accustomed to a precarious life of starvation and fullness.

The Battle of Xiangfan defeated the Wei army; The battles of Jiangling and Maicheng defeated the Wu army, and the outer defense line expanded, so that the four years of peace suddenly ushered in around Jiangdu!

The peace for four consecutive years is simply an unimaginable event for the people of Jingzhou after Chibi.

The loom promoted by Maicheng indirectly reduced the tax pressure on everyone, and finally they could get rich and accumulate industry through hard work.

The industrious people have already lived a good life, and the bold ones have already owned looms; should have lived a better life, but the imperial court re-collected taxes, and this collection was one of five taxes.

The five taxes are one compared to the five taxes of the Wei State, and the five taxes are two, and the five taxes are three...... Or compared with the unfree treatment of the powerful and the serfs, it is already a rare benevolent government.

After all, it is all set off by neighboring countries, and the new grain tax imposed on Jingzhou and Xiangzhou is really nothing compared to the standards of Wei.

In the face of public opinion and specific facts, the Jiangdu Imperial Court also has rhetoric, and it is also an inevitability of governance.

Otherwise, the imperial court would not have the money to go to the people to raise food; With so many troops, the military pay can be replaced with cloth, but the supply of rations must not be reduced.

The people eat less than a bite of food, and at most scold you; The army has no food, so they beg you for food in order to stop you.

The importance of the two is not the same, and the priority in the event of a conflict is naturally different.

This was originally a food crisis caused by the promotion of Tian Xin, Mai Cheng, and looms, and the good man let Tian Xin be; If the court wants to fill the grain hole, someone has to be the bad guy.

Few people blamed Guan Yu, but the pressure fell on him, the emperor, which was inexplicable, making it impossible to understand the thinking of grassroots officials and public opinion.

Liu Chan looked at the blue-gray tone of the North Palace, and thought of a series of things that were out of control yesterday, and he was a little envious of Liu Yong in his heart.

Liu Yong was very fond of the first emperor, and was also liked by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei; Now that he is vassalizing the Qi country, Liu Yong has all the enjoyment and benefits that the emperor should have; can bear the weight of social affairs, but most of them fall on their shoulders.

A "Book of Han" exhausted the power and sophistry, and the "Book of Shang Jun" wrote the hearts of the people...... Everything was so cold and suffocating.

Changshu exhaled a breath of turbidity, Liu Chan raised his hand and rubbed his swollen eyebrows, thinking that he would have to listen to the doctor's lecture today, he came a little sleepy, so he raised his hand to restrain the heat, maintained his tiredness and returned to the dormitory, and lay down carefully.

As soon as he lay down and was about to fall asleep, Sun Dahu snuggled up to Wei Guo sideways, and his warm forehead was attached to Liu Chan's cold cheek, which immediately made Liu Chan feel warm, and the cold feeling also made Sun Dahu murmur twice and lean closer.

In the General's Mansion, Zhao Yun came in armor and reloaded, with a solemn and gentle demeanor that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

When he sat down, Guan Yu's tone was tired: "Zilong, until now, I have no regrets." He has been in the world for 40 years with the first emperor, and he has no regrets. And today there are many things of remorse. ”

Zhao Yun lowered his head slightly: "The world is sinking, and it is not the fault of the great general to take advantage of the traitors." ”

The front of the hall was full of people, but it was silent.

Jiangdu Yin Li Yan and Yu Shi Zhongcheng Xu Shu were sitting on both sides of Guan Yu and Guan Yu's periphery at this moment, and there were many officials from various departments and departments who had been temporarily summoned in front of the court, all of whom were close to each other, as witnesses.

After all, Taichangqing Lai Gong was involved in the case, and Tingweiqing Zhang Wen was still in Jiangdong...... The top responsible persons of the two yamen who are most suitable for handling this kind of case are either not suitable or are not available, so they must find some substitutes to come over and act as witnesses and notaries.

There are so many characters to deal with that it can almost be regarded as the first reverse case since the founding of the country...... If you want to kill, you must kill openly, and you can't kill in a fool's mind.

Most of the officials who acted as notaries were pulled up from their beds, and now they all looked like puppets.

On the periphery are the Tiger Ben guards transferred by Guan Yu...... To deal with these close ministers of the Son of Heaven, there is no need to transfer troops at all, and the officials can capture and escort them when they come to the door. If there are really armed resistors, it is not too late to deploy armored soldiers to kill.

In the courtyard, it is Chen Yi who tends to be stable, after running around in the middle of the night, many links have been figured out, this is his only way to live, and it is also the opportunity to go ashore.

After Guan Yu sorted out his emotions, he waved his hand and motioned for Chen Yu to tell the story he had told once before.

With the previous complete experience, Chen You's words are described in many more details this time...... Things are becoming more vivid and vivid.
