Chapter 647 - Five New Policies
"Xu Qiubai is okay, right?" I asked.
"It's just that I was under house arrest for a period of time by the acting king, and it's no big deal! I've already sent the Prisoner Army to escort him back to the Fengling Crossing Prison! Husband, I'm going to get busy first if there's nothing else to do! Li Qinglan said to go.
I looked at her back and rolled my eyes wildly, I knew what Li Qinglan and Zhuo Qingluo were busy with, busy coaxing my mother Ji and my aunt Liao.
"Wuling, why don't you go?" I asked.
"Who doesn't want to please their mother-in-law? Your mother still hates my last name, I went once, and she chased her back! Ji Wuling is obviously very regretful.
Su Ping was changed to Ji Yanling, Ji still thought he was Su Ping, and he was changed to Mu Lingxi, and Ji still thought it was Ji Wuling.
"With Qinglan and Qingluo accompanying my mother, I'll accompany you! It's a big deal, I have an infamy on my back, I have a daughter-in-law and forget my mother! "I'm quite aggrieved.
"You're still wronged, aren't you? But to be serious, Queen Anxi and Princess Jinyang and Yangcheng Panruo had better write a letter back home, the last time King Qin abolished the Empress Dowager Qin Luofu, the Yipin Marquis Mansion was also impacted, and you know their situation very well! Ji Wuling said.
*************************************************
In the end, King Qin only exiled my eldest uncle Su Wu to Quicksand City, and let him accompany my third uncle to drink! I know that in fact, in addition to Princess Jinyang, Queen Anxi and Yangcheng Hanruo are all considered hostages that I left in Kyoto, which is why King Qin is relieved to let me lead troops outside.
"Now that the reduction of the feudal domain has been successful, I heard that Cao Huai'an, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Zhang Hanqing, the new secretary of the household department, have begun to carry out internal affairs reforms, do you think I want to be on the table at this time?" I asked.
"Yipin, since you are dedicated to the country, you should not avoid suspicion!" Ji Wuling is more decisive than me in this regard, I now have many wives, and I have too many pros and cons to weigh up, but I can't make up my mind.
"You're right, I'll make a list, let's discuss it first, and when Qinglan comes over, we'll discuss it in detail! Since I am an official in the court, I should ask for the people's life! I said.
The main items I have listed are as follows: the measurement of land and the demarcation of land boundaries, which are the main points of land reform, and this part is mainly to clean up the land that the princely landlords have embezzled and concealed, so as to bring more tax revenue to the state.
The second is to merge taxes, and now there are many princes in the Feihong Empire who add some messy taxes to their fiefs, what safflower tax, wine tax, to put it bluntly, the princes themselves take taxes from the domain to enjoy themselves, and these do not go through the treasury channel of the household department at all.
Of course, Feihong has been fighting for many years, in order to maintain military spending, in fact, when my third uncle Su Wen was the secretary of the household department, he also opened a lot of duplicate taxes, and the people's lives were even more difficult.
My suggestion is to consolidate taxation with a whip system that collects tithes according to the quantity of the property. To put it simply, the landed peasants only collect taxes once a year, and once they extract one out of ten percent of the income from the fields, and the rest goes to the people.
The third is to streamline the organization and eliminate redundant officials. I was a Chinese citizen before I crossed, and I knew that the heads of the country hated the Buddhist officials who were eating the corpses!
The fourth is to fight corruption and promote clean government, now the Feihong magistrate can't scrape the ground to exploit the people, when I was in Jiangning Mansion thunder anti-corruption, the confiscated silver is enough for the soldiers in southern Xinjiang to pay three months' salary.
Just one Jiangning Mansion is so rich, but the people are forced to participate in the Fire Lotus Sect rebellion, and the cave clan can't survive, this strong contrast makes me shudder.
The fifth is to reorganize the local army, this time to cut the vassal king, the local army has many dishes, I have a deep understanding, in addition to the Fengling Water Division of the Chang Gao Dynasty has some new atmosphere, the combat power is not bad, the other troops are good at grabbing merit, and only the generals' personal soldiers have some combat effectiveness!
Even the government soldiers left behind by Lu Hao, who was previously touted as a famous general of Feihong, are also corrupt in military discipline in my eyes, and they are not worth it.
As a result, after watching the friendly battle between the Dragon Hunter Guard and them, I completely dispelled this idea, and directly reported to the King of Qin, and drove all these rebellious and rebellious guys to the frontier to reclaim.
*****************************************************
Li Qinglan came back, and after she and Ji Wuling summed it up, they refuted my article by article, and the five malpractices I mentioned did exist.
The first measure of land originally touched the interests of most nobles, and it was the most difficult to achieve, but the king of Qin thundered and suppressed the king of Dai and the king of Zichuan who resisted the reduction of the domain, and even the princes of Zhenguo also gave in and offered land, which became the simplest and most achievable.
Anyway, as long as it is tied to the cutting of the domain, and the magistrate goes to measure the land, the princes will not dare to stop it.
And the second article of the consolidated tax, King Qin will not do it, at least not now! The treasury was already empty when the king of Chu was regent, and after I cleaned up the Caoyun and knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger, the governors of Caoyun and the salt transportation envoys from all over the country were honest for a while to send tax silver to the treasury.
If the King of Qin wants to stabilize the situation in the DPRK and China, he also has to deal with the attack of foreign enemies, and he needs money everywhere, he will not let the King of Qin's domain support the whole country, not to mention that even if the King of Qin is a saint and is willing to sacrifice the interests of the Qin Palace, how can the Qin Wangfu support the princes of the world?
The third article I proposed to streamline the organization and eliminate redundant personnel, this is probably something that King Qin will be happy with! In fact, Cao Huai'an and Zhang Hanqing are already doing this, which seems to offend people, but the elimination of redundant officials can reduce the expenses of the imperial court, which is a situation that King Qin is happy to see.
Of course, it's not King Qin who directly offends people, he doesn't care! And with King Qin's shrewd and capable style, when he sees those officials who can only slap their ass, it is estimated that he also hates it so much!
I heard that Fengtianwei will be reactivated, serve as the secretary of Dali Temple, and invite this great hero of anti-corruption and anti-corruption back, and the determination of King Qin to fight corruption and promote honesty can be seen!
This is a good thing for the country, kill the corrupt officials, the people applaud, the corrupt officials are greedy for ink, except for a part of the local deficit, the rest is collected into the treasury, this is a matter of name and profit, and it is not the king of Qin who also offends people.
The fifth article of the reorganization of the local army, this article Qin Wang is estimated to like very much, I mean advocating the policy of elite soldiers, only raising a small number of soldiers and horses, then the court expenditure is naturally small, and only raising elite soldiers, then the combat effectiveness is also guaranteed.
However, unless Emperor Sun is reincarnated, Sun Yaoyang and I will not be able to do this now, and the prestige of our army has not yet reached the level of making the generals of the whole army give up their own interests and support.
In fact, this paragraph can actually be classified as a new volume of Dongping's anti-Japanese resistance, hehe
