No, five days later, at the martyr's burial ceremony, looking at the newly built graves in the mountains, Yang Xuan announced that all the war dead, whether they were loyal and righteous soldiers, local militia groups, or local people, could receive a pension of 20 taels of silver.

All those who died in the war can be exempted from the family when their parents are alive and when their children reach adulthood.

The difference is that the higher the official position, the more meritorious service on the battlefield, and the greater the amount of pension, such as the captain of the brigade who died in battle has a silver pension of 60 taels.

According to Fan Wen's CD-ROM calculations, the pension for the dead soldiers in the war alone is more than 5,000 taels, and if you add 200 coffins, a total of 7,000 taels of silver will be spent before and after.

Looking at the squires and parliamentarians who were silently mourning below, Yang Xuan talked eloquently, bragging that if there is money to contribute, in addition to making a strong contribution, it is that taxes are taken from the people and used by the people.

In the past, why did everyone dare to fight privately and be afraid of public fighting? It is because he died fighting for the court and the government, and most of the time it is a rotten mat wrapped, which is called a horse leather shroud.

As a landlord's thug, a domestic slave, and a dog's leg, the landlord not only gave generous pensions, but also took care of his parents, wives and children.

With such a strong and weak contrast, fools are not willing to contribute to the court and the government.

Now is the time for change, as long as those who contribute to the court and the government, the government pays a lot of money for the war dead, and the government finds a way to make a living for those who are seriously injured.

And when the government does this, of course, the money comes from the people, which is taken from the people and used for the people.

Now that natural and man-made disasters are continuous, and the common people are living a hard life, they should have the money to contribute and make a strong contribution, and they should collect the money and property that originally belonged to the imperial court and the government, and distribute it uniformly by the government.

After that, Yang Xuan praised the best families who had set up porridge sheds at the time of the invasion of the Liukou, and then pointed out the loopholes in the collection of salt and the collection of mineral taxes, and the families and individuals with an annual income of two hundred taels of silver should bear greater responsibility.

Everyone woke up like a dream, and many people secretly applauded, this is a good opportunity to make a fortune, and some secretly stomped their feet and sighed.

The big salt merchant in the city, Huang Shopkeeper, arched his hand again and again: "My lord, this, this can't be helped, our salt introduction is issued by the emperor, in order to get this salt introduction, we spend it, and the adult can't say that it will be invalid." ”

Yang Xuan shook his head and sighed: "Shopkeeper Huang, squires, what is the salt introduction like, I haven't seen it in the past.

Besides, even if some officials knew what the salt was like in the past, but now that we are isolated from the imperial court, I don't know if it is true in your hands.

Ladies and gentlemen, the war is about money, and we can't let the tens of thousands of taels of salt tax every year be lost in vain.

As you know, in other places, the field is levied 3 yuan, and Ding is 5 yuan, but in our jurisdiction, an acre of paddy field is only 6 cents of silver, an acre of dry land is only 2 cents of silver, and Ding Fu is only 1 money and 2 cents of silver.

You salt lead, wait until the future is calmed down, and you will be confirmed by the imperial court again. ”

The shopkeeper Huang's face was pale, and he only got it by bribing the cabinet scholars in order to get the salt, not only did he go through the back door but also spent a lot, and he didn't expect that it would be scrapped today.

Although he was unwilling, he didn't dare to resist at all, just like Song Hongbing's "Currency War" described, in ancient times, this salt trade was like modern stocks and dollars, which was hard currency.

In the salt market, the lowest selling price of salt is only more than 60 copper coins a catty, and the higher one is 200 or 300 copper coins, and the cost of this salt is very low.

In the early years of Hongwu, in order to solve the problem of grain shortage in important towns on the northern border, the imperial court linked salt introduction with grain trafficking, and the imperial court implemented the "open middle method", and one stone of grain on the nine sides could be exchanged for one salt (that is, one stone of grain could be exchanged for one small introduction of salt).

Merchants first exchange a stone of grain for a small introduction of salt on the nine sides, and then go to the top of the site to exchange a load of grain for a small introduction of salt, and finally send it to the destination for sale, so as to obtain high profits.

Even if the grain in the north is more expensive than the grain in the south, the merchant gets one? The cost of small salt introduction is not more than 1.4 taels of silver (7 copper coins per catty), but the salt sold out is less than 60 copper coins, and more than 300 copper coins, which can be said to be a violent business.

This time, the government levied 2 taels of silver for each small amount of salt imported into the jurisdiction, but it was not unacceptable.

Just like in the Song Dynasty, the salt and iron monopoly system was implemented, and 6 copper coins were paid for each salt introduced.

In the Ming Dynasty, the salt tax was three taels of silver, and the minister (transportation) was three taels of silver, although the salt tax in Shunqing Mansion alone had two taels of silver, but it was not unacceptable.

2 Although the tax on silver salt is quite high, it is only 10 copper coins per catty, which is not high compared to the retail price of salt (150-200 copper coins).

Those who have no salt in their hands seem to be overjoyed when they see hope, and those who have salt in their hands see that the government insists on doing so, so they ponder how to please the government in order to continue to do this big business of salt sales and transportation.

As for the reform of the mining endowment, some people seem to be quite worried, when Emperor Wanli, let the eunuchs open the mines, but how do these eunuchs know that there are mines there, there are not, often see the rich inside, claiming that there are mines here, need to be mined, take advantage of this to extort.

And Yang Xuan is good, he doesn't care about small mines, he is in charge of big mines, no matter how you mine, the yamen collects mineral taxes

There were one or two big mine owners present, and they secretly wondered that in the past, they had to deal with this official and that official when they opened a mine, and they probably did more than 1 into 5 every year.

Now listening to Yang Xuan's mention, they all seemed polite, and asked whether there would be any additional expenses after paying this mine tax.

Of course, there are also people who want to take the opportunity to ridicule that this prefect's yamen is very honest on the surface, but the exploitation is very serious.

A few Xiucai are preparing to make up jokes in the teahouse, and some are preparing to make up ballads, which is a common method of controlling public opinion in the past, and before they can be made up, everyone feels that the situation has changed greatly.

First of all, in various important places, there were propaganda slogans, written in lime on the cliffs.

Taxes are taken from the people and used by the people. (Tax Purposes)

For example, salt leads to two taels of the imperial court, six taels of corrupt officials, and profiteers buy fifteen taels empty-handed (satirizing the salt introduction system of the imperial court)

Salt leads 4 taels, stove households 1 tael, although long-distance transportation, how much can the purchase price of public salt be? (Tell everyone about the public salt value chain, after the reform, the price per catty of salt will be greatly reduced)

………

In the government school, on the street, when children play, they sing nursery rhymes one by one.

Some ridiculed some profiteers for being rich and unkind, telling everyone that the yamen levied taxes only to crack down on those profiteers who were unkind to the rich, and returned the money defrauded from the common people to everyone.

….

Some people felt quite annoyed, and some even secretly conspired together, preparing to complain to Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, Fan Yixing, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces, about Yang Xuan's tyranny.

Wang Yingxiong, the governor of the four provinces, is a person from Ba County (Chongqing Yiguo), and Fan Yixing, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, is a person from Xuzhou Prefecture.

Everyone was tossing, and suddenly several news came from Zunyi Mansion and Chongqing Mansion one after another, which shocked everyone.

The transmission of information in this society is quite slow, especially in troubled times, and some news needs to be transmitted for several years (such as Jin Shenghuan, the governor of Jiangxi in the Manqing Dynasty, anyway, he didn't know that Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang had ascended the throne in Zhaoqing, and initially used the year name of Emperor Longwu).

After a long period of five months, the barbarian Qing occupied Nanjing, and the news of the capture of Hongguang Emperor Zhu Youlang finally came.

As mentioned earlier, after the capture of Tongguan, the barbarian Qing troops were divided into two routes, one was led by Prince Ying Azige, and pursued all the way after Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng became the fate to avoid defeat and attacked Zuo Liangyu in Wuchang.

Zuo Liangyu's troops were defeated by the Dashun army at the mouth of the Jinghe River, and then withdrew from Wuchang under the guise of the Qing monarch's side, and marched all the way south to attack Nanjing.

And after Li Zicheng occupied Wuchang, it was really a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow sparrows, and the barbarian Qing followed closely behind, captured Wuchang and killed the general Liu Zongmin, while Li Zicheng was killed by the peasants and ended his sinful life.
