However, after the Xingtian Army entered the city, it did not infringe on the ordinary people and merchants, especially the ordinary people in the city, it can be said that there was no crime in the autumn, not only that, but also gave rice and grain to help them get through this period of time, and at the same time issued passes for the merchants in the city, allowing them to continue to stay in the city and do business, and allowed them to pass through the area controlled by the Xingtian Army, as long as they paid the taxes required by the Xingtian Army. (.. ）

In fact, the Ming Dynasty has been quite developed in commerce, but the strange thing is that the imperial court mainly collects agricultural taxes, relying on agricultural taxes, and the imperial court also uses more money to loot from farmers, but it rarely taxes merchants, so that the Ming Dynasty's finances in the last years, the expenditure is too large, so that it is about to fall into the verge of government bankruptcy.

For this reason, since the beginning of Wanli, the emperor wanted to tax the merchants to meet the needs of the state finances, but this matter was strongly opposed by the Donglin Party, which was condemned as competing with the people for profit!

In fact, bullshit competes with the people for profit! At present, there are few businessmen in the Ming Dynasty who do not collude with the officials of the government, and even many of the big businessmen are originally officials behind them to participate in or even directly operate, and the emperor wants to tax the merchants, isn't it equivalent to taking money from the pockets of these officials? How's that going? So how could these so-called national elites and pillars of the Donglin Party agree? Even if they knew that the country needed to do this, but for their own personal interests, they immediately began to attack it en masse, what national interests! Bullshit, it's not as important as them getting money into their pockets! In the end, under the resistance of the Donglin Party, the imperial court's attempt to tax merchants was not carried out in the end!

Later, after the Chongzhen years, Chongzhen also worried about money every day, and it was to increase the salary, and it was to increase the salary, and it was to increase the salary, and it was to increase the salary, and the result was that the peasants in the world could not survive, and they rose up one after another, even some small landlords could not live, and finally joined the ranks of the rebellion. But those elites in the court were the biggest obstacles, so that Chongzhen could not implement it if he had the heart, and even he had to open the sea ban, but the taxation of merchants could not be carried out.

Therefore, the demise is inseparable from the efforts of the Donglin Party, the pillars of the country, and this so-called elite group is the biggest culprit.

Of course, Xiao Tianjian understands the reason, so since he occupied Yangcheng, he has taxed merchants within his jurisdiction, and the tax is not too high, as long as the businessmen want to enter the jurisdiction of the Xingtianjun to do business, they have to pay taxes, no matter who you are, even if it is Xiao Tianjian's father-in-law, doing business with the Xingtianjun, this business tax is indispensable! For this reason, his father-in-law Fan Yaoshan also had a lot of slander about this matter, but Fan Yutong praised it and finally persuaded Fan Yaoshan to support Xiao Tianjian to do so.

In Xiao Tianjian's heart, as long as it is within his jurisdiction, there can be people who are rich, people who can be poor, and there can also be the existence of the landlord class, but there is only one kind of person that cannot exist, that is, the privileged class, no matter who it is, in his jurisdiction, it is necessary to obey his management, and the land is taxed according to the mu, no matter who you are, one acre is counted as one acre, more land is paid, less land is paid, as long as there is a fair word, in this way, there will be fewer class contradictions, and the rich will have heavier responsibilities for the country. This can avoid repeating the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty one day, so Xiao Tianjian does not contradict the landlord class and the rich, all he cares about is the word fairness, as long as everyone is responsible for the country, then it doesn't matter who has money or not!

However, although it is said that it is an open businessman, after Xingtianjun sorted out the merchants in Wuchang Mansion, he still copied a lot of merchants, because these merchants are actually the private of many officials, and they are naturally within the scope of copying!

Now it's okay, everyone has started from scratch, fair competition, who can get rich, that's by virtue of his own ability, he Xiao Tianjian protects such a person, but he has to rely on the official to support him behind his back, I'm sorry, I didn't discuss it, now all this money is confiscated and redistributed!

For these captured prisoners of war, one of them, Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, because of the obvious crime in Wuchang, the people were very angry, Xiao Tianjian was not polite to him, and directly ordered him and his son to be pulled out and cut down, on the one hand, the province placed them in trouble, on the other hand, it was also used to calm the people's anger and buy the hearts of the surrounding people.

As for the officials captured in the city, Xiao Tianjian ordered the selection of them, picked out the most powerful people who were greedy for ink, and pulled them out of Wuchang City to kill them, which was also used to buy people's hearts with their heads.

However, for some low-level officials and some officials who have a clear name among the people in the Wuchang area, they will be treated leniently, and those who are unwilling to continue to work for the Xingtian Army will be released to go home and return part of their property so that they can live, but those who are in the process of being organized and managed, and who are willing to continue to work for the officials and the Xingtian Army, will choose their strengths, rearrange them, and reactivate them as civil servants of the Xingtian Army, so that they can become officials of the Xingtian Army and serve the Xingtian Army.

But I have to mention the city of the former imperial court of the Ministry of Rites, Dongge University scholar He Fengsheng, this person is the second place in the 44th year of the Wanli palace examination, is a talented person, is just and honest, and does not like to cling to power, once offended Wei Zhongxian, as a result of the dismissal, and later after the fall of Wei Zhongxian during the Chongzhen period, he rose again, just returned to his hometown, he encountered the Xingtian Army attacking Wuchang City, and as a result, after Wuchang City was broken, he was arrested by the Xingtian Army.

After Xiao Tianjian learned about He Fengsheng's situation, he personally went to the prison place to release him, and returned his family, and all the property of the house in the city was returned, treating him with courtesy, and wanted to invite him out of the mountain as an official, but when He Fengsheng categorically refused, and Xiao Tianjian was scolded by him.

For this reason, Xiao Tianjian and He Fengsheng also carried out a good theory, counting all kinds of things that are not in today's court, but they were refuted by He Fengsheng one by one, for such a Confucian person, Xiao Tianjian played a lip service with him, obviously humiliating himself, He Fengsheng quoted the scriptures and scolded Xiao Tianjian's dog blood spray, and the angry Xiao Tianjian wanted to pull out a knife to chop this old guy, but in the end they held back their anger and continued to reason with him, but in the end they were defeated and fled.

But Xiao Tianjian still didn't allow anyone to be rude to this old man, and ordered his subordinates to provide the He family with the best food in the city and treat him well.

But He Fengsheng was a little brainless, seeing that Daming was about to finish, he felt that he had been an important minister of the court and could not serve a thief with his body, so he had to commit suicide by hanging himself at home.

And He Fengsheng was in the original history, and after Zhang Xianzhong conquered Wuchang City, he asked his family to drive him to the lake by boat, and finally threw himself into the lake and died, but this time he did not die and was persuaded by his family to save him.

After Xiao Tianjian heard the news, he immediately rushed to visit He Fengsheng's home, and persuaded him warmly, telling him that if he didn't want to surrender to the Xingtianjun and give him Xiao Tianjian something to do, he could live as a civilian at home, and he Xiao Tianjian would never force him to come out to be an official, and promised to treat his family well, and he would definitely treat the people well, which made He Fengsheng give up the idea of seeking death, and from then on, he closed the door and became an idler completely.

However, a few years later, He Fengsheng once again appeared in Xiao Tianjian's court at the age of nearly sixty, became the chief compiler of a history museum, presided over the compilation of the history of the Xingtianjun after becoming an army, and unceremoniously recorded some of the bad deeds of the Xingtianjun and some of Xiao Tianjian's evil deeds in the compiled history, which caused a voice of impeachment from the government and the opposition.

However, Xiao Tianjian was still lenient with this old man, personally ordered the publication of the history he compiled, and left many bad things about him in his enrollment, without adding a word of modification, so that this old gentleman had to admire Xiao Tianjian's broad-mindedness until his death, and left with a smile.
