Chapter 692 Recommended
After the marriage of Yingchun, the most important thing in the royal family is the marriage of the baby pimple Jia Baoyu.
Jia Ke didn't worry about Jia Baoyu as much as he did about Jia Yingchun, and directly left this matter to Jia's mother and didn't care.
And Jia's mother is old, and she can't worry about everything, so this errand finally fell on the queen mother.
Although the queen mother is called the queen mother in the palace, she does not have her own independent palace, so she can only live in the Kangning Palace with Jia Zheng.
After the queen mother took over the errand, she naturally wanted to organize a passable wedding for her son.
Therefore, the Queen Mother summoned officials from the Ministry of Rites almost every day during this time.
Before I knew it, more than a month passed, and the day of Jia Baoyu's marriage came.
On this day, the excitement surpassed Yuan Chun's marriage, but on this day, Jia Ke only showed up and disappeared when Jia Baoyu saw Jia's mother.
The civil and military ministers are not fools, and when they saw Jia Ke's attitude, they naturally understood that the emperor did not want to see his younger brother.
Therefore, although many people went to congratulate Jia Baoyu on this day, they all sat down and left.
After Jia Baoyu got married, the royal family completed a major event, and the next few children, only Jia Tanchun arrived, but it was not Jia Ke's turn to worry about this matter, naturally Concubine Zhao handled this matter for her.
If it was before, Concubine Zhao naturally had no right to control Jia Tancun's marriage, but now her identity is different from the past, she is the concubine of the emperor.
It can also be said that the emperor is the most favored concubine, naturally there are countless people who go to the knot, and according to etiquette, she is also qualified to participate in her daughter's marriage, so Concubine Zhao is very active in this matter.
Not to mention that they are worried here, and Jia Ke is above the court, and the commercial tax reform that began to be implemented this year is very successful, so Jia Ke wants to make persistent efforts and do another thing that he has in mind.
Jia Ke's other thing to worry about is that he wants to spread the money into the mu, but in fact, Jia Ke is not very good at government affairs.
But after all, Jia Ke has traveled from modern times, and he has been exposed to many modern TV series and books, and he also knows many things that benefit the country and the people.
For example, this is a way to not only extend the time of the dynasty, but also relieve the pressure of ordinary people.
Spreading into mu, also known as apportionment into the land or integration of the land, is a major tax reform that abolished the poll tax (ding tax), which has been in practice in China for more than 2,000 years, and incorporated it into the land tax.
The important purpose of Jia Ke's implementation of the apportionment of the acres is to greatly extend the time of the dynasty he founded, and to avoid the tragedy of two or three hundred years of reincarnation like the original dynasty.
As the emperor of the new dynasty, Jia Ke hoped to show "benevolent government" by reducing taxes, on the one hand, because the population of the previous dynasty had increased significantly, and it was difficult to grasp the hukou, which made it difficult to calculate the increase in taxes according to the population, so he adopted this method to reduce the cost of collection.
The implementation of the apportionment of land to the mu made the proletarians have no tax burden, and the burden of the landlords increased, which played a certain role in the continuous increase of the population of the dynasty, the slowing down of land annexation, and the promotion of the development of industry and commerce.
In Jia Ke's view, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, but in the eyes of the landlords of the world, it is a bad thing that greatly increases their expenses.
If an ordinary emperor wants to implement this policy, he must implement iron-blooded means like the emperor of the Qing Dynasty to suppress those who resist in the world.
But it was much easier to get to Jia Ke, because Jia Ke was the founding emperor after all, and the military power under his command was very firmly controlled, and those landlords did not have much strength to compete with him.
Another is that if the new dynasty wants to continue the system of the previous dynasty, it is naturally nothing to say, but it is logical to want to change the system of the previous dynasty.
Therefore, Jia Ke began to blow the wind to the civil and military officials on several occasions, so that they could be prepared in their hearts.
As soon as Jia Ke revealed the news here, it was naturally full of turmoil in the city, and it didn't take much time, even the south knew it clearly.
These civil and military ministers did not have much opinion on this matter, although they were also landlords, but their main income was the ice and carbon respect, as well as the filial piety of local officials and wealthy merchants.
But the landlords in those places can't think about it, according to Jia Ke's method, then those mud legs don't have to pay taxes in the future, and all the tax burden falls on them, the landlords, how can this work?
So these people mobilized their relatives and friends to start delivering news to the court officials, wanting these people to say a few good words in front of Jia Ke, and it was best to let Jia Ke take back his life.
But these civil and military ministers in the court naturally knew Jia Ke's temper, as long as he had made up his mind, no one could resist, so although all those belongings were collected, no one dared to talk nonsense in front of Jia Ke.
Therefore, in the days before the autumn harvest, Jia Ke officially issued an edict to the world, abolishing the poll tax for thousands of years from now on, starting from this year's autumn tax, according to the apportionment into the mu.
And what is implemented together with the apportionment into the mu is the integration of the officials and gentry to pay the grain. This was also learned by Jia Ke and the emperor who copied the family.
In fact, with the deepening of land annexation, a large amount of land was in the hands of the landlords and gentry, and this part of the people was precisely the object of preferential exemption, so that the scope of tax collection was greatly reduced.
The officials and gentry paid a powerful blow to the illegal act of tax evasion and tax evasion in the name of preferential exemption, which expanded the scope of taxation by the imperial court and increased the treasury revenue.
More importantly, through the policy of the official gentry as errand and grain payment, the power of the imperial court began to spread to the villages and towns, which made the unspoken rule that had lasted for thousands of years that officials not go to the countryside began to collapse, and Jia Ke's control over the whole world was further strengthened.
This is also the political legacy that Jia Ke left to future generations, as long as his successor does not change these policies, then the world will be further stabilized, and the time for the dynasty to fall will be further extended.
In the days before the autumn harvest, Xue Baochai gave birth to a son safely in the palace, and Jia Ke's favor for Xue Baochai during this time has surpassed Qin Keqing.
So as soon as this child was born, Jia Ke gave him the name Jia Hui and was directly divided into King Qi.
Due to the birth of King Qi, Jia Ke's harem began to be turbulent.
Originally, although Qiao Lian gave birth to King Wu, because Qiao Lian was born, Qin Keqing did not take this child in his eyes.
But now Xue Baochai is different, he is a serious relative of Jiafu, and his status is not worse than Qin Keqing, and now he has given birth to King Qi, this child is a huge threat to Qin Keqing's son Jia Zhi, the king of Chu.
Therefore, Qin Keqing began to shift his attention to Xue Baochai.
And Qin Keqing's nurse, Zhu Lin, also began to move in Qin Keqing's ears at this time.
"Niangniang, now that Xue Guifei has given birth to a King of Qi, our emperor has not made up his mind to establish a prince until now, I see that this is the emperor who wants to choose a virtuous son among several sons, so I think it is better to let His Royal Highness the King of Chu go out of the pavilion to study immediately."
Qin Keqing nodded silently after hearing this, he originally saw that his son Jia Zhi was young, so he couldn't bear to let him go to school at such a young age, but now it seems that he has to be one step ahead of others, only if Jia Zhi gets Jia Ke's favor, their mother and son can be peaceful in the harem.
"Even if the palace agrees, you have to talk to Your Majesty, and then let Your Majesty choose a few talented gentlemen."
Zhu Lin's eyes rolled, it seemed that it was time to push his master out, but his master was now just a petty official from the seventh grade, and he didn't know how long it would take to soar.
"Niangniang, I know a person, this person is quite talented, and proficient in common things, if you come to teach our little master, not only can he have a talent to learn, but also will not become one of those nerds who only know how to read."
Qin Keqing's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Who is it?" ”
Zhu Lin hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "It's our new Jinshi Wang Yi this time." ”
Qin Keqing was silent for a long time after listening, and then looked at Zhu Lin's family, "The nurse knows this person?" ”
When Zhu Lin heard Qin Keqing's question, he was also a little flustered, he didn't expect that Qin Keqing, who had always been obedient to his words, would have doubts about this matter.
But Zhu Lin's face still did not change and said: "This Wang Yi is a distant relative of mine, and now he is a petty official in the Ministry of Rites, and he is very unwilling, so he asked for my disciple, I saw that he was a relative after all, and he still had some talent, so I agreed to recommend it to him." ”
Qin Keqing pondered for a moment after listening, now Qin Keqing also felt that he was a little suspicious of being a nurse, how could there be a harem steward to interfere in the affairs of the prince's teacher, this was already an obvious deviance.
"I still have to talk to the emperor about this matter, let's see what the emperor means."
Zhu Lin also knew that he was a little too talkative today, so after listening to Qin Keqing's words, he stood aside and stopped talking.
said that on this day, it was the fifteenth day of the month, Jia Ke came back from the Yangxin Palace to deal with business, and went directly to Qin Keqing's Kunning Palace according to the rules.
When Jia Ke arrived at Kunning Palace, at this time, Qin Keqing had already taken the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace to greet him outside the palace.
Jia Ke got out of the car and personally helped Qin Keqing up, and then the husband and wife came to the main hall of Kunning Palace together and sat down.
After Jia Ke sat down, Qin Keqing immediately served him tea in person.
Jia Ke took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Aifei, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I see that you have lost some weight." ”
It turned out that Qin Keqing was originally a thoughtful person, and after starting to suspect his nurse during this time, he thought about all the things about her nurse in the past few years, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt.
Although Qin Keqing had the heart to report his nurse to Jia Ke, he thought that he relied on the support of his nurse when he was young, otherwise he might not be able to live to this day.
Therefore, Shang Qin Keqing can be said to be in a dilemma during this time, and he doesn't think about some tea and rice, so this is a little clear.
