Because the restriction of slaves and maids was the fuse for sending troops to Goguryeo, it didn't really matter whether it should be fully implemented immediately, and it would be okay a few years later, the important thing was to release the news in time to create an atmosphere.

This aspect is simply Han Yi's housekeeping skills, and Han Yi immediately sent people to publicize and create public opinion.

There are two main points, one of which is Li Zhi's benevolent government, sympathy for the people, and praise the emperor. The second is that the emperor's uncle's rebellion case made the emperor insecure, and now many ministers have raised a lot of slaves and maids, the emperor is worried, my own uncle has rebelled, not to mention you, I have to guard against you, and you have to understand me.

The former, of course, is hype, just blow it to death, and the latter is quietly letting the wind out, but it is not said in the notice of the imperial court, this is to be understood. It is equal to one light and one dark, both soft and hard.

And Li Ji, who has always been accustomed to pretending to be dead, is also abnormal this time, and fired the first shot for this fuse.

Because it's his dream, he can't wait.

Li Ji asked Li Siwen to take all the slaves and maids of the Li family, swagger through the city, go to the household department to change the household registration, return the freedom of some slaves and maids, and at the same time sign a lifelong contract with a group of loyal slaves and maids, in short, to lead by example.

He is also a representative of the military, and those generals understand the interests behind this, so they have followed Li Ji's example and returned a large number of slaves and maids in the family, but they only signed a lifelong system with a few loyal slaves and maids, and the rest were directly released, because the signing of the lifelong system is to give money, although this money is not much, but this is about to go to war, and then there are so many slaves and maids, why should they pay this money, and leave a few people to manage those slaves and maids in the future.

Nowadays, with the rise of workshops, manpower is lacking, so after these slaves and maids are free, they are quickly digested by the market.

The military was the first to express its position, and its attitude was very resolute, which was the greatest support for Li Zhi.

As the saying goes, the power comes out of the barrel of the gun, and the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, in this matter, the military supports Li Zhi, and of course the common people also support Li Zhi, who wants to be slaves, especially those slaves and maids, they are very grateful to Li Zhi in their hearts, you are the first emperor to care about us, and they will definitely support Li Zhi more after they are free. And in this matter, Han Yi and Li Ji have cleared up the relationship, it is completely Li Zhi's behavior alone, and Li Zhi's reputation is soaring.

Who was hurt, it was the landlord, the rich merchant, the minister.

Of course, those civil officials are unwilling to do this, they are powerless, except for being able to write a few words, what is not working, they can only rely on the system to obtain wealth and a superior life. They originally wanted to resist, hoping that this policy would not be implemented, and many policies were promulgated and then abolished, because they also knew that doing so would offend the squires and magnates, and the resistance would definitely be not small, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly, and the generals were unusually more active than anyone else this time, and they didn't know the meaning behind this, which also made it impossible for the ministers to unite to a certain extent.

Even if this was the case in the past, it could still be fought together, but the problem is that the generals who have always been infighting are unprecedentedly united this time, and the Wenchen cannot unite internally, Han Yi, Lu Chengqing, Xu Yushi, Liu Xiangdao, Wei Siqian They all supported this resolution, and Xu Jingzong, the head of the Wenchen, did not give a word, so he said a word, and then was severely reprimanded by Li Zhi. As a result, Xu Jingzong also asked people to return some slaves and maids in the family, but he just expressed his meaning.

Wenchen had no choice, and he could only follow suit, they were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long, but it turned out to be really at this critical moment, if they were not as good as those generals who couldn't read big characters, it would be very embarrassing.

Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, on the surface, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty supported this resolution, and they were also big landlords, wealthy merchants, and big slave owners, and they should have been the main force opposing this resolution, of course, there were still many people who secretly colluded with the gentry and tried to resist.

And Han Yi began to create a second wave of policy propaganda, which was to tax slaves and maids.

This slave tax is historic, because it is the first tax that includes officials, who were not required to pay taxes before, but they are also included in the slave tax.

The beauty of this tax is that it is triggered, it does not mean that the officials have to pay taxes, but that when the number of your slaves and maids exceeds a certain number, you will have to pay taxes. This court has some regulations on the slaves and maids of officials, but no one has complied with them, this time Han Yi will take it out to talk about things, how big the official is with how many slaves and maids, it has to be according to the system, the work needs, within a reasonable range, there is no need to pay taxes, but if you exceed it, you must pay taxes, who let you raise so many slaves and maids, you are a minister who keeps so many slaves and maids in Chang'an, which is too threatening to the emperor.

But this is also alarmist, there are so many forbidden troops in the north and south, where can they see their little slaves!

But Han Yi doesn't care, you alone is not enough to see, but the eldest grandson Wuji is not a rebellion alone, it is a group of veterans, you see how many people have been purged, all over the country, if you count these people, it is very impressive!

Those officials were very speechless, and even many people blamed Xu Jingzong for the fault, you see that you did this thing, didn't you provide the emperor with a reason to rectify us.

Now the DPRK is eager to have an abacus, and start to calculate how many slaves and maids can maximize the benefits, I raise a pig, I can still sell it, now you go to sell slaves and maids, who dares to ask for it, this sale of slaves and maids will have to pay taxes, and you have to pay taxes for household registration conversion, and you have to pay taxes for this purchase, the cost is really high, this is not a joke, where to raise slaves and maids, it is simply to worship slaves and maids.

As a result, the price of Silla and Kunlun slaves on that day was soaring, and the domestic slaves and maids were falling down vigorously, and those merchants who were engaged in the trading of domestic slaves and maids were almost about to collapse, and my goods were not sold, and I had to pay taxes as a result.

There is no way for this official, the case of the uncle's rebellion is still hanging over their heads, and this is their own doing, at most, they can only say that the emperor is using the topic to play, then they are to blame and complain.

But those gentry, landlords, and wealthy businessmen feel that they are very wronged, and you officials are killing each other, why should we be guilty, and who should we provoke?

Their class is the most rebellious.

The businessman went to the household department every day to find Han Yi, and wanted to ask someone to understand, although Han Yi did not see him, but Zhang Daxiang personally explained to them that Han Yi did not see you, and he was shameless to face you, because he was just an executor, and it was the emperor who gave the order, and it was impossible for him to disobey the holy decree.

This time, Han Yi resolutely did not take the blame, did not offend anyone, and let the emperor be in front.

But at this time, a calculation formula caught everyone's idea.

This calculation formula is mainly aimed at how many slaves and maids to keep, so that the benefits can be maximized, which is equivalent to this knife between small and medium-sized landlords and large landlords, because Han Yi also carefully investigated when setting up this tax, these small and medium-sized landlords went back to settle accounts, and suddenly found that they did not lose much, it was completely bearable, and they were weak, and they did not dare to argue with the court, so they were silent.

The minister is silent, the younger brother is silent, what is even more sad is that in the past two years, some high-ranking families have already transformed into investment in business and made a lot of money, this lifelong system is much worse than those treatment in the labor bill, the main rights and interests are to be promoted to the first class of beloved, can no longer be beaten and scolded at will, and now they only want to make money, they are not tyrannicals, they also think very openly, and quickly sign a lifelong system for some strong slaves and maids, and the old ones will all be good, and reduce some taxes. The Gaomen clan is very lonely, no matter how you calculate it, they are all coming for us.

However, this Yuan family is also one of them, and the Yuan family did not know about it in advance. This is for Han Yi, although this is all planned, if you want me to help you prepare food, he will definitely ask for a return, but the problem is that Han Yi doesn't know when to start fighting, he won't take the initiative to suggest, he doesn't carry this pot, Li Zhi and Li Ji asked to send troops, he just secretly supported it, and he didn't discuss it with the Yuan family in advance.

However, Han Yi also came to Yuanjiabao at the right time.

"Han Yi, what the hell is going on?"

As soon as Yuan Xi saw Han Yi, he asked eagerly, if they really did this, their Yuan family would be a big tax payer!

Han Yi said with a smile: "Uncle, this matter was planned by me and Your Majesty, but it came a little suddenly, and I couldn't tell Uncle in time." ”

Yuan Xi heard that this was planned by Han Yi, and he was a little relieved, because it was rumored that Han Yi was not involved in this matter, but was very careful: "Then can you tell us about this matter?" If you can't, then don't talk about it. ”

If you plan with others, it's okay, you just plan with the emperor, it is conceivable that this is a secret, the Yuan family is very sensitive to this kind of secret, and try not to know it, so as not to get involved in unnecessary trouble.

Han Yi nodded and said: "Of course you can say it, if you can't, I won't say that, because the Yuan family plays a very important role in this plan, but the Yuan family must keep this secret, and it is impossible to leak this matter, otherwise, it may cause very big trouble." ”

After hearing this, Yuan Xi waved his hand directly and said, "You all go out first, and I will talk to Han Yi privately." ”

"There's no need for that!" Han Yi was stunned, my wife Peony is still sitting on the side, aren't you trapping me in injustice.

Yuan Xi didn't speak, Yuan Le smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, since this matter is very important, it's better for fewer people to know." ”

So he and Yuan He beckoned Yuan Zhe and Yuan Peony to leave.

After the two of them were left in the council hall, Yuan Xi asked very cautiously, "What is going on?" ”

"Goguryeo!"

Han Yi said: "The imperial court will attack Goguryeo within a year, but this matter has to be carried out secretly for the time being." ”

When Yuan Xi heard this, he secretly said, sure enough, fortunately he called them out. Said: "Then what can our Yuan family help with?" ”

Han Yi said: "The main purpose of the imperial court is to make landlords and merchants flock to foreign slaves and maids, so that they can contribute money and grain to share the pressure on the state treasury. However, there are some things that the imperial court cannot say clearly, and if everyone knows about them, the reputation of the imperial court will be damaged. So this is just the first step. This second step requires the help of the Yuan family.

After this matter cools down, I will incite the people's hatred of Goguryeo and lay a good foundation for the imperial court to send troops, and what the Yuan family needs to do is to persuade the rest of the Guanzhong group to resolutely support the imperial court to send troops in the name of the Guanzhong group, which is also reasonable. ”

Yuan Xi was surprised: "Is that all?" ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "Of course not, the Yuan family wants to shout the slogan of revenge on the surface, but secretly wants to transport the materials to Shandong with great fanfare." ”

Secretly, with great fanfare, this is obviously a sick sentence.

But Yuan Xi understood what Han Yi meant.

I heard Han Yi say again: "Why does the Yuan family want to transport grain to Shandong, the imperial court is inconvenient to say, so it is necessary to spread some news to let the rich merchants in Chang'an know that the Yuan family is going to the captives, and the foreign captives do not need to be taxed, and the domestic wages have been increasing, which is a very cost-effective deal." If I'm not mistaken, many of the big and wealthy businessmen are following suit.

But the Yuan family still has to take them to the Shandong region to buy grain, to create an atmosphere, so that the Gaomen clan in the Shandong region knows that there are huge benefits in it, so that they do not sell grain to you, but directly trade with the imperial court, Shandong has been very rich since ancient times, those big landlords have a lot of grain, I look forward to the situation, the treasury only needs to allocate less than 30% of the grain and grass, the best is 10%, the rest of the local from Shandong, in that way, can also reduce a lot of consumption in the transportation process. Moreover, it was able to quickly use troops against Goguryeo, and there was no need to wait for the grain to be delivered before starting the war. ”
