"Measuring acres? Aren't all the cultivated fields in my county in the register? The field book has not been lost and burned, so why should it be re-measured? "The county government of Luoyang County, Henan Province, the county Cheng jumped up like a mouse that had been stepped on by the tail.

"Why do you want to measure the acres of land?" The newly appointed magistrate took a look at it, why did he re-measure, isn't it obvious? But he wouldn't be so blunt on the face, because he already had a very appropriate excuse.

"Because the records in the field book are not accurate. The Han family in Zhangde Mansion, haven't you heard of it at all? ”

Moreover, Zhai Jing said that the Zhai family had a total of 116 hectares of dry land, including 30 hectares of paddy fields, plus 35 hectares of orchards and woodlands, but the records of the field records only 65 hectares of dry fields, 10 hectares of paddy fields, and 15 hectares of orchards and woodlands. Isn't that ridiculous? ”

The county magistrate pointed to the field book and asked, with such a ridiculous expression on his face. And the county magistrates, lords, bosses, and capitalists in front of him also looked like this, which was really ridiculous.

And those who find their own guilt? Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin are both two fools, aren't they?

Once this matter is confirmed, the Lao Zhai family will not only have to pay ten times the heavy tax, but all those hidden lands will be confiscated by the imperial court.

"Zhai Jing is selfless, and has written to the king to ask for guilt and pay a fine. What do you have any doubts? ”

The magistrate's face was pale, and one of the people present was counted as one, and all of them bowed their heads and obeyed orders. They have already heard about the Han family's encounters, and there is no rod to beat everyone to death, as long as they obediently report the number of acres in ten years, they can still be lightly dropped.

But if you want a hard top, who thinks that they can be better than the Han family? Or is it that this Heluo is one acre and three points of land, and they can be more powerful than the Zhai family?

But even if you comfort yourself like this, you are cutting their flesh and letting them bleed.

The officials of these official offices walked out of the small flower hall one by one with gloomy faces.

Then what they decide, how they will face this storm, then everything is up to them.

Although the taxes of the Zhao and Song dynasties have never been as speechless as Zhu Ming, in the current dark era, in the environment of no officials and no greed in the whole world, it is not too simple and easy to evade taxes and hide the acres.

No one wants to pay taxes, especially when others can pay less taxes, of course, they also have to pay less, and they can also deepen their friendship with the officials of the government by the way, which is a matter of mutual benefit.

is really so honest and has as many masters as there are, there is really no one in ten thousand.

In other words, the family business of many landlords and tyrants is quickly accumulated in such an environment, and the more they earn, the more land they will buy, and then they will make a proper deal up and down the yamen, pay less money and save more money to make money, and then buy property and land, and so on, and so on, and the land annexation is carried out unconsciously in such a means.

Most of the Chinese dynasties banned land annexation, but the Song Dynasty did not prohibit it, so there were so many destitute people who had no place to stand.

The power of the giant family is getting bigger and bigger, but the life of the people at the bottom is becoming more and more difficult.

This scene is the most important factor in the three-hundred-year cycle in ancient Chinese history, and it has been the case for all dynasties. In the later years of the imperial dynasty, the issue of land annexation not only made life difficult for the common people, but also caused a huge loss to the state finances. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the state could not collect taxes, which was the culmination of this evil result.

Previously, Wang Anshi changed the law, and when he ordered the whole country to clear the acres of land and implement the square land tax law, his reputation immediately became stinky, and the reason was the universality of this hidden land.

When Zhao Gou was still in Bianliang, he suddenly began to clear the acres of fields, which would undoubtedly cause a lot of incidents in the local area. Whether it is the previous Hedong of Hebei or the new territory now. It's just that he's not afraid.

It is better for the patient to explode early, and the province will bury the root of the curse, and then make trouble in the future.

Zhao Gou just wanted to force out all his enemies at once. He not only ordered people to re-clear the fields, but also set up the Governor's Office of the Five Armies in the central government, with the five major battalions under the control of the whole army. Each place has a governor, one governor on the left and one on the right, and one on the left and right to join the army. It not only commands the elite of the headquarters, but also governs the garrisons of the various roads under it.

Of course, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies does not have the right to transfer troops, and the right to dispatch is directly controlled by King Yan, and what they have is only the right to command the troops, because they are all generals.

As for the corresponding one, although the military department has the right to recruit, appoint, dismiss, and promote troops in the army, it does not command the troops. Every time there is a war, the king of Yan temporarily appoints a special person to serve as the commander to lead the troops to go out, and when the war is over, the commander returns to the seal, and the army is returned to the governor's mansion and Zhulu.

This would be tantamount to effectively abolishing the Privy Council.

The Privy Council is gone, what can be done? In the future, whether it is a minister or a civilian clique, it will be difficult for them to control the military power anymore.

And you can't hold the power of the army, why should you use literature to control the military?

In addition, Zhao Gou also established a system of folding and folding, ordering his cronies and some feudal officials to secretly report what they had seen and heard, so as to monitor each other and listen to the people's feelings.

This is another heavy blow to the Zhongshu Gate, that is, the Political Affairs Hall, and the East Mansion in the East and West Prefectures in the Song Dynasty.

The rules and regulations that were gradually formed in Zhao and Song for more than a hundred years were overturned by Zhao Gou's plate.

There was the Song Dynasty, in the early stage, the prime minister was in charge of civil affairs, the privy envoy was in charge of military affairs, and the three envoys were in charge of finance. After the reform of the official system of Shenzong, the prime minister was actually in charge of finances and held great power. To counterbalance it, the emperor's most advantageous weapon is the Imperial Historical Tower, which is in charge of supervision.

But what about now?

As soon as the folding system was opened, the local state officials could hand the emperor a secret fold to play, and then issue an official document and hand it to the superiors as a routine, and then submit it to the emperor for judgment after teaching the people above to read it.

How does this person still press the book and cover the lid?

Who can afford to be accused of blocking the Holy Hearing if you don't pay attention to it? And the power is a lot of time.

The policy announced by Zhao Gou shook the government and the opposition like thunder, just like the sound of an explosion sounded on the head of Bianliang City, and the defenders in the city obviously couldn't afford to spend it after many days of fighting. However, the Northern Army still had no intention of capturing Bianliang.

Instead, I saw Zhao Gou throwing bombs at the doctors one after another.

This is to force more opposition parties out. Of course, there will be some timid and cowardly people, and there will be some realists who are very knowledgeable about current affairs who will kneel as they wish, but there will always be some 'pure, upright, sensitive, and sharp' scholars who will ruin their homes and relieve the chaos and set things right.

Seeing that the achievements of Zhao and Song Dynasty in civil and official politics for more than a hundred years were unscrupulously destroyed by Zhao Gou, how could none of them not be angry?

"Reckless, reckless. King Yan violated the wishes of his ancestors, so he was not afraid that the officials would force the people? ”

In Yangzhou City, Li Gang, who served as the envoy of the two Huai systems, let out an angry roar.

He was not crying out for the moths who were hiding in the fields, but angry at what Zhao Gou had done. With the policies recently announced and implemented by the Northern Army, Zhao Gou's image could not be brighter in the eyes of Li Gang and others.

That's not the old Zhao family's set, or even the previous Sejong Chai Rong's set - the punishment is urgent, and the punishment is too much - it's a piece of cake compared to it!

At that time, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was also a first-class heroic hero, with the world of decline and chaos, only five or six years, the mighty voice, shocking Yixia, can be described as a sage for a while. However, if he is considered to act, he is not good at killing, his usage is too strict, and the ministers' ministries are often punished by death, although he has a reputation for talent, he has nothing to do. Therefore, when he was there, no one dared to disobey half a point in the entire Hou Zhou, but as soon as he went, the world of the Chai family was easily taken by Boss Zhao.

And what about the current Yan King? He is no longer a matter of killing people or not killing people, but he really wants to overturn civilian politics.

Under his hands, the civil officials and doctors are the tigers lying on the dragon, how can they still have the ability to share the world with the Son of Heaven?

However, how huge is the backlash of doing this, the lessons of the past are vivid, why didn't King Yan learn a lesson at all?

From Li Gang's standpoint, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with civilian politics. They are scholars, and they all understand the righteousness and are knowledgeable, and of course they need people like them to govern the world.

Wenhua Song Dynasty is the Son of Heaven and scholars who rule the world, not the people who rule the world.

How can the emperor be arbitrary? That's a mistake. Because one person is short and two people are long, it is very harmful for the cadres to be dictatorial in the world, so it is very good for the scholars and doctors to share some of the pressure of the emperor, and it can be regarded as a kind of check and balance.

But what about Zhao Gou?

His policies were not only a material attack on scholars, but also a political implementation that greatly elevated imperial power.

Li Gang was very dissatisfied with Zhao Gou, but at the same time he was also dissatisfied with Zhao Huan, the masters on both sides had flaws in his eyes, big flaws, but it was difficult to correct them, this is really unsatisfactory.

If Zhao Gou knew that he was laughing, would there be anything wrong with raising the imperial power? He is a traverser, and he didn't take out the military aircraft and used the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, which is already very interesting.
