Chapter 20 Jizhou Pastoral
Yes!!
Listen to my brother's whole family being killed. Empress Dowager Dong burst into tears and said: It's the mourning family that has harmed you! Zhang Jie said again: Empress Dowager, if you don't die, I'm afraid that the nine clans of the Dong family will be unsafe. Dong Shouhou cried for a long time and said: What Aiqing said is extremely true, he must be killed. Aiqing rest assured that tomorrow the mourning family will read the emperor's edict in front of everyone. Empress Dowager Xie, the ministers should do their best. Dead and gone.
Hey, it's finally been a fool, and the tears haven't flowed in vain. It's not easy to fight the world. On the second day, Zhang Jie called, judged, frustrated, Tian Feng, Li Xing, Zhao Yun, Gao Lan, Gao Shun, Zhang He, Wang Zhi, Xun Kan and a large number of civil and military officials. Then the Empress Dowager Dong said loudly: The mourning family was entrusted by the first emperor, and the edict was given: You will wait for the order: Zhang Jie was also surprised, this old lady still has a few times. Then he fell to his knees.
Empress Dowager Dong said: I heard that Wei County is too guarded by Zhang Jie, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, respectful to the king, self-denial and dedication, diligent government and love for the people, named Jizhou Mu, and the general of the expedition to the north.
Minister Zhang Jie received the order and thanked him. Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Frustrated, Tian Feng was shocked, no wonder Zhang Jie made such a big show for this. Clever. The Empress Dowager Dong personally passed on the edict, who dares to say that it is an edict? In fact, wise people like Tian Feng certainly understood that it was greasy, how could the first emperor really have an edict passed on by the empress. Moreover, Zhang Jie didn't have much success, why did Yizhou Mu also recruit the northern general? The general of the expedition to the north commanded all the armies in the north. How could this fall on Zhang Jie's head.
After receiving the order, the Queen Mother went down to rest. Taishou Mansion, Zhang Jie, sitting on the main seat, left, judged, frustrated, Tian Feng, Li Xing, Ma Lin. On the right, Gao Shun, Gao Lan, Zhao Yun, Wang Zhi, Liu Biao, Dian Wei. Zhang Jie said: The first emperor died, Jie felt sad, but the first emperor entrusted him with a big task and named Jie as the state pastor, although Jie was not talented, but he did not dare to disappoint the first emperor. Jaydang redoubled his efforts. Don't let the first emperor down. I hope you will help you. Three days later, Empress Dowager Dong continued to set off to Hejian, and Zhang Jie sent ten miles before returning to Yecheng.
Luoyang, the General's Mansion, when the news that the Empress Dowager Dong told the first emperor in public that Zhang Jie would be appointed as the general of Jizhou Pastoral Expedition to the north, He Jin was furious and said: Jiao Zhao, it must be that the officials under Jiao Zhao did not expect Zhang Jie to come to this hand. Chen Qundao: Even if it's an edict, we have to admit it. He Jindao: Why? Chen Qundao: After all, Empress Dowager Dong is the biological mother of the first emperor, and no one knows whether the first emperor issued an edict? What if it is really decreed? Don't we admit it? Where is the first emperor? He Jindao: Definitely not, Chen Qundao: But who can prove it? Yes, the decree was proved by the Queen Mother, but no one proved it without the decree. There is no way to prove it.
Chen Qun continued: Moreover, Zhang Jie must have used this opportunity to swallow Zhang He's department now, and the soldiers and horses he guarded the mansion should be tens of thousands. If we don't admit it, will we send troops to exterminate it? How many should be sent? Do you want to turn him back? The crowd was silent.
Hey, Cao Cao said: Zhang Shimin is very human, we underestimate him. I was in Ruyi Building, I saw this person, a talent, at that time it was just a storyteller, but more than two years, it was General Jizhou Mu Zhengbei. Hehe!
He Jindao: Oh, Mengde, have you seen this person? In Ruyi Building, this person relied on a poem to sleep with Wang Sisi, the head of Ruyi Building.
Yuan Shaodao: He Shi? Xun Youdao: I remember that the distant mountains have long eyebrows and thin willow waists. Makeup stands up for the spring breeze, and a smile is less. When I returned to Los Angeles, I said that I was with Qinglou. Looking at the Yingchuan flowers, it is not as good as Sisi.
He Jin laughed! It turned out to be a greedy and womanizer. Okay, what should I do? That's it? Chen Qundao: It can only be done temporarily, and after a while, it will not be able to reconcile or degrade Ming Gong's words.
Good! He Jindao: The long article is reasonable.
Yecheng, the state pastor's house, covers an area of 100 acres, the largest mansion in Yecheng, Zhang Jie since he was named the state pastor by the Empress Dowager Dong, the next day he took people to live in the state pastor's house, the night is long and dreamy, twisting and pinching is not Zhang Jie's character. In the conference hall, the judge, the frustration, Tian Feng, Ma Lin, and a few others were there.
Zhang Jiedao: Order. From now on, Jizhou will never be endowed!
In feudal dynasties, the state collected taxes and was separated. For example, during the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the field tax was thirty and one, and one thirtieth was charged, which seemed to be very light. But he not only collected taxes, but also taxes, calculations, verbal payments, and more, plus conscription (free work for the state) and collected more than taxes. In the fourth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, the people were more than fifteen to fifty-six years old, and the people were counted as one hundred and twenty, and the Jia people (merchants) and slaves and maids were doubled, and two were counted. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was even more ruthless, the state used soldiers, the state was scarce, the people were three to fourteen years old, and the export money was twenty-three. In the later period, in order to increase the population, if a woman does not marry at the age of fourteen, she will receive several times the income.
In short, in ancient times, there were basically two kinds of taxes for peasants, land tax and poll tax. But there are many names. In the early Han Dynasty, most of the peasants' families cultivated their own land, and there was enough land, and the taxes were not too heavy, and they could still afford it. However, by the end of the Han Dynasty, land annexation became more and more serious, and 80 out of 100 peasants were landless. Then you can only rent the landlord's land, how to rent it? Landlords with a good conscience are divided into fifty and fifty. That is, the landlord only takes 50% of the harvest in the field, and the tenant takes 50%. But the vast majority of them are three-seven, yes, the landlord takes seventy percent, and the tenant takes thirty percent. From the perspective of posterity, it is simply a perversion. But this situation has existed in China for more than 2,000 years. It's just that the proportions are different. Tenants work hard all year round. How many can you get your hands on? You also have to pay the country's field tax, and if the year is good, you can still have food and clothing, but if the year is bad, you can only be hungry and become a homeless. Coupled with usury, if you get sick, you sell your sons and daughters.
In fact, successive dynasties are trying to find ways to solve this problem, such as the Song Dynasty King Anshi changed the law and Ming a whip law. And so on, but this problem is really unsolvable, the lease relationship between the landlord and the tenant farmer is like the rent of later generations, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, you have to think that the thirty-seven is too high, you don't rent, a lot of people rent. When the poll tax arrived in later dynasties, it was divided into many names, such as the Ming Dynasty, Liao Xiang, Suppression, and Fire Consumption, which really didn't make people live. What's even more perverted is that these taxes are only collected from ordinary people, and from the emperor's relatives and relatives. The imperial court does not accept it. But what if the state wants to use the money? Taxes are raised. That's how the Ming Dynasty ended. In history, the real solution to the thousand-year-old problem of poll tax was Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty. Although I don't like Manchu wild boar skin, I have to say that Yongzheng is a cow. It is to spread the land into the acre. Add all the poll tax (called the ding tax) to the acres of land, and those who have no land, such as merchants, outcasts, and craftsmen, will be liberated. This disguised some landless people turned to commerce. In addition, the state tax is all pressed on the acres of land, which inhibits land annexation in disguise. Some wealthy people also started to do business, so Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was dashing for more than 60 years, and the population exploded.
