Chapter 133: The Impact of the New Law
Gongsun Sheng explained: "My eldest brother has a way of making money, and he has the benefit of salt and wine to fill that gap. And he said that after all, there is a fixed amount of land tax, but there is an infinite commercial tax, and in the future, when he builds a country, the country's income will be dominated by commercial tax! ”
"Implement a policy of valuing commerce over agriculture?" Luo Zhenren shouted in surprise.
Gongsun Sheng shook his head and said: "No, he said too much, it is not good to over-suppress business, but it is not okay to over-develop business, it must be relaxed!" ”
Luo Zhenren burst out laughing when he heard it, "Hahaha...... More than enough is too much! There is a degree of relaxation! Good! Good! Good! If he can comprehend this truth, it proves that he is qualified to become the king of a country! Disciple, tell the Nine Pattern Dragon Shi Jin, if the other Taoist sects don't say it, our Erxian Mountain Purple Void Guan will definitely fully support him! ”
Gongsun Sheng shouted happily when he heard it: "Is the master serious? ”
Luo Zhenren nodded and said, "Disciple, although we are willing to fully support him Shi Jin. But with his current power, it was impossible to get the other Dao Sects to fully support him. He Shi Jin must also show more strength, so that I can persuade other Daomen! ”
Before coming, Gongsun Sheng boasted that he would persuade Daomen to support Shi Jin. But now hearing that only the people of Zixuguan would fully support Shi Jin, Gongsun Sheng was a little disappointed.
It's hard to explain to Shi Jin when you go back like this.
Luo Zhenren saw Gongsun Sheng's disappointed expression and said, "Apprentice, your Qi cultivation kung fu is not yet at home, and you have to hone and hone it again!" Don't worry, since I, Zixuguan, have decided to fully support Shi Jin, I will naturally not embarrass you. In addition to helping Shi Jin make a name for himself, he will do it for the teacher. As a teacher, you can also recommend a great talent to Shi Jin, which can be regarded as our support for Shi Jin! ”
Gongsun Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked urgently, "Master, who is that talent?" ”
Luo Zhenren said a name.
Gongsun Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Mr. Huhai is finally willing to go out of the mountain?" ”
Luo Zhenren said with a smile: "Naturally, he refuses to go out of the mountain, but he owes a great favor to his teacher." If you go to see him with the letter of the teacher, he will inevitably give the teacher a face to see Shi Jin, the nine-pattern dragon, and whether he can leave this talent at that time depends on Shi Jin's ability! ”
Gongsun Sheng also smiled and said, "With my eldest brother's love for talent, coupled with the ability of the water mill, he will definitely not let such a great talent slip away from his eyes!" ”
……
With the heralds in the Liangshan army, the new tax "One Whip Law!" was promoted along the road. ”。
When the news spread, it was like throwing a big stone into a pond, splashing countless times.
In the chassis occupied by Shi Jin, the peasants of Yizhou, Yanzhou, and Jeju immediately became happy when they heard the new law.
In Zhoujiazhuang, Xintai County, Linyi, Zhou Ding heard the Liangshan Army herald explain the new law, and shouted in surprise: "In the future, you will only pay one kind of field tax, or ten taxes and two!" It's great, I finally don't have to pay so much, and I can feed the whole family in the future. Woowoo woo ......"
The peasant couldn't help choking up, in order to pay more and more taxes in the past few years, his waist was about to be broken.
But in this way, it still cannot fill the seemingly bottomless pit of taxes.
Now that he heard that the new law only collects land taxes and does not need to pay other miscellaneous taxes, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and he no longer has to have his elderly parents have to work hard in the fields under the scorching sun, nor do he have to face the hungry and eager eyes of the weak son.
After the village commander Zhou Ming waited for the Liangshan army to leave, he shook his head and shouted to his villagers: "Don't think so well, this new law was only promulgated by the Liangshan bandits, not the imperial court law." If this Liangshan thief is wiped out by the imperial army, I am afraid that this new law will be invalidated. When the time comes, the tax should be paid like this before, or how should it be paid! Don't make a mistake about yourself, you fell for that Liangshan! ”
When Zhou Ding heard this, his eyes darkened, but soon he shouted sternly: "Lao Tzu, I don't care who is the emperor, whoever can feed my whole family, I will support whomever I want." It's a big deal that Lao Tzu went to Naliang Mountain. I have long heard that the Nine Pattern Dragon Shi Jin is benevolent, if he can feed my whole family, I will sell my life to him! ”
Many villagers were surprised when they heard that Zhou Ding, who had always been honest and stammering, dared to shout such rebellious words. But at the thought of what he said, the villagers were silent.
yes, tired and tired, for what! Isn't it just to give the whole family a full meal?
Why should your emperor collect heavy taxes so that we don't have enough to eat?
If that's the case, then we're just going to do the opposite.
That Shi Jin has always been benevolent and righteous, and now in order to sympathize with the people, he is willing to reduce the tax. It's better for him to be an emperor than for you to be an emperor.
Many people have already made up their minds that it would be fine if the emperor was willing to accept the new law, but if he did not agree.
Anyway, my whole family can't survive, so instead of being oppressed to death by you, then I might as well defect to Shi Jin.
Not only were the people talking about the new law, but even the scribes were talking about the new law.
Qingzhou Zhao Mansion, the main hall of a small courtyard.
Zhao Mingcheng, who was sitting in the right position, slapped the table and shouted: "This damn thief dares to implement the new law privately, it's just arrogant!" ”
Lu Defu sighed and said: "This new law is a good law, if there had been such a good law earlier, the people would not have been exploited by the corrupt officials." ”
Qi Chongli said something else, "As soon as such a good law comes out, it will be even more difficult for the imperial court to easily suppress bandits!" It's a pity that such a talent can't be used by the imperial court, and he is a thief! ”
Zhao Mingcheng shouted indignantly: "What's the pity, as long as the imperial army arrives, such thieves will inevitably be in a different place!" ”
Compared with Zhao Mingcheng, who is nested in the township and immersed himself in studying Jinshi, Qi Chongli, who is the chief bookkeeper of Zixian County, has some understanding of major events in the world.
He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's hard!" The greatest harm of this new law lies in people's hearts. Even if the bandits are all exterminated, the new law will be known to the people, and the benefits of the new law will be appreciated, and the people will be willing to be exploited by the old law. At that time, the court will change how to deal with itself and implement the new law, and the court will inevitably not be enough. But no, it is a big loss of popularity. Then the public may be even more resentful! ”
In addition to this, Qi Chongli also knows one thing better.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that even if the Jiangnan uprising was quelled, it would also cause major disasters.
This will have a greater impact on the income of the imperial court in the next year.
Originally, the imperial court was unable to make ends meet, and Jiangnan, which is a heavy tax area, is now due to the popular uprising, which will inevitably affect the tax revenue in the next two years of the Ming Dynasty.
Can the finances of this imperial court still be sustained?
What will you do if you can't hold it up?
The emperor took the lead in reducing spending and survived this difficulty?
Or do you want to increase taxes?
Originally, the taxes of the people are now heavy, and if the emperor continues to increase taxes, it will definitely provoke a popular uprising.
Here, Emperor Daojun increased taxes, but over there Shi Jin was lightly served, such a comparison, the people of the world naturally turned their hearts to Shi Jin.
It's just that when this matter is spoken, it is disrespectful to the court and the saint.
Qi Chongli could only sigh in his heart, but this Shi Jin's hand was very vicious, completely roasting the court and the saint on the stove.
Different from Qi Chongli, who was an official of the imperial court, some scribes, especially those who had fallen into the ranks, suddenly changed their identity and image of Shi Jin's thief when they heard that Shi Jin was going to implement the new law.
The guy who can come up with such a new law is definitely different from ordinary bandits, wait until they carefully inquire about what Shi Jin has always done.
Shi Jin is good at managing troops, his soldiers are strong and strong, and there are countless generals, and he has been invincible and invincible since he led the troops.
This Liangshan army can attack and defend the outside, and more importantly, it is also strict in military discipline, not to disturb the people, and not to harm the people.
In addition to being good at fighting, Shi Jin is righteous and squandering wealth, and he is widely famous in the green forest, and the heroes and heroes are all admired.
Moreover, for many years, he has sheltered the people and eradicated the village tyrants and gentry, and now he is even more sympathetic to the people to reduce the tax, and he has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness among the people.
In this way, this nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin really has the posture of a master.
This made countless scribes wonder in their hearts.
This Shi Jin now has the means, has a reputation, and has a group of tigers and wolves under his command. Now that he can have the hearts of the people with this new law, this Nine-Tattooed Dragon Shi Jin is definitely a worthy master.
If you follow him to conquer the country, won't you jump into the dragon gate, ascend from the dragon to heaven, become a big official, and show your long-cherished wish in life!
With the spread of the new law, the governance of the Liang Shanjun in the three states suddenly opened up the situation. The scribes no longer slandered Liang Shanjun and Shi Jin in every way, and some scribes even took the initiative to help praise Shi Jin.
In the past few days, the number of soldiers recruited by the Liangshan Army has gradually increased. Even a few scribes who failed in the imperial examination took the initiative to contact Shi Jin and expressed their willingness to take refuge.
In the implementation of every new law, there will be gainers and losers.
Liang Shanjun re-measured the land in the three prefectures under his rule and collected taxes per mu.
Although it is only ten taxes and two taxes, it also affects some people, especially those big landlords and wealthy families who used to collude with the government to conceal and collect less taxes.
Under this new law, they had to pay more taxes, and naturally they were dissatisfied with Liangshan's new law.
They resisted, and some even relied on their own soldiers and horses to fight by force.
Since ancient times, laws and taxes have been enforced by violence.
Since these people don't know what to do, Shi Jin will not be soft, and immediately order troops and horses to exterminate these people.
A mansion in Yishui County, this luxurious mansion in the past, but now it is a mess, the destroyed gate of the mansion, and the dead bodies everywhere all show that this place has just experienced a fight.
In the main hall of the mansion, Shi Jin sat in the right position.
More than a dozen soldiers from the Tiger Guard Battalion tied up and escorted Wang Xian, the head of the Wang family, to him.
"Get on your knees!"
Seeing Wang Zixian seeing his eldest brother, he refused to kneel. Lu Fang shouted angrily and kicked Wang Zixian's knee.
Wang Zixian, who was kicked down by Lu Fang, stood up again in pain, raised his head and shouted loudly: "A thief, what qualifications do you have to make me kneel!" ”
"Insulting the marshal of my family, it's like I don't know whether to live or die!" When Lu Fang heard the other party call his eldest brother a thief, he immediately scolded angrily, raised his foot and kicked him again.
"Lu Fang, stop!" Shi Jin raised his hand to stop Lu Fang, looked down at Wang Zixian, and shouted coldly: "Wang Zixian, I, Shi Jin, are sympathetic to the people and want to implement a new law to reduce taxes." As a celebrity in Yishui, why don't you be grateful. What is the intention of deceiving the people, bewitching the people, and vainly raising anti-flags against our army? ”
Wang Zixian glared at Shi Jin angrily and shouted: "Shameless thief, how can He De dare to call himself the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses?" I raised the banner just to comply with the will of heaven to eradicate you gang of thieves, and now although I can't do anything, I only complain that God won't help me! Today, I am captured by you, and I want to kill or be widowed, and I will listen to you! ”
Shi Jin sneered and said in a deep voice: "The people are oppressed by the faint monarch and live in dire straits, so if you don't think about it, it's just that you are trying to oppose the new law of tax reduction." How can it be said by providence, but you are just selfish! Today, I will behead you, but I am afraid that the people will only applaud and applaud, and will not mourn for you! ”
When Wang Zixian heard Shi Jin's words, his face turned pale immediately, and he bowed his head and was silent.
Shi Jin stared at Wang Zixian and shouted: "Wang Zixian, I think you were also deceived to do such a stupid thing." Here's a chance - I expect that this rebellion will be instigated! As long as you tell you who is being bewitched, I will spare the lives of your wife and children and leave you with the queen's family!" ”
Hearing that Shi Jin was willing to forgive his wife and children, Wang Zixian, who had gloomy eyes, flashed a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
The expression on his face kept changing, and in the end, he sighed and said, "It's Zong Ze, the magistrate of Ye County, Laizhou!" ”
Zongze!
Shi Jin was taken aback when he heard this name! ()
