After determining the new tax system, Wu Yong suddenly thought of something and said, "Big brother, this tax has been determined." But in what name do we publish! ”

"In what name?" Shi Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard it and said, "Just release it directly." What's the problem? ”

Wu Yong shook his head and said, "Big brother, the so-called words are not right. Big brother, these taxes you promulgated need a name to determine their legitimacy. Otherwise, how can the people pay taxes? In my opinion, it's better for the eldest brother to be the king publicly! ”

As soon as Wu finished speaking, Zhu Wu objected: "I don't think it's suitable now, according to the plan, while the imperial court soldiers and horses are entangled with Fang La in Jiangnan, we will go east to capture Mizhou and Laizhou." Dengzhou, so as to consolidate and expand our territory! Until then, it's better not to provoke the imperial army! ”

Hearing Zhu Wu's opposition to his opinion, Wu Yong was suddenly a little dissatisfied, he felt that Zhu Wu was deliberately suppressing himself.

Wu Yong shouted: "Shandong is too close to the capital, and there is the advantage of salt and iron, under the current situation, no matter how low-key the eldest brother is, the imperial court will not let go of the eldest brother." It is better to go out and openly claim the king. And the eldest brother is not the king, these brothers have no name, and their hearts are not steady! If the eldest brother becomes the king, we can also rely on the prestige of the eldest brother to attract heroes from near and far to join us and strengthen our momentum. ”

Seeing that the two of his subordinates were about to quarrel again, Shi Jin shouted: "Okay, don't quarrel." Now is not the time to claim the throne, but Wu Yong also has a point. So be it! In a compromise, I set myself up as the generalissimo of the world. This is also a good name to reassure people and let others know what we want. And it won't be incompatible with the court. “

"Generalissimo of the world!" Wu Yong pondered for a while and said, "Words to appease the brothers and his soldiers are enough. However, it is very reluctant to promulgate and implement new taxes in the name of the generalissimo of the world. ”

Shi Jin said indifferently, "Things in the world can't be as good as they should be, and besides, what kind of righteousness is only useful to those scribes who have eaten enough and have nothing to do." For the people, no name is empty, as long as anyone can ensure their safety and let them have enough to eat, they will support whom! If it weren't for the fact that there is now only a great deal of governance talent among the scribe class, I would have no interest in accommodating these people! ”

Wu Yong saw that Shi Jin didn't want to be the king so quickly, so he shouted: "Okay, for the time being, the eldest brother will promulgate new taxes as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses!" ”

"Since it was agreed, then collect the tax in this way! Send someone to inform Pei Xuan and Jiang Jing as soon as possible, and at the same time let the people know. Shi Jin shouted.

After discussing the policy, a dozen soldiers with a notice in black and white were posted on the walls of the city gates in all directions.

At each city gate, there was also a soldier holding a gong and bell, and after attracting the attention of the surrounding people, the soldier shouted: "Folks, come and see, come and see!" The generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses sympathized with the difficult life of your people, and decided to abolish all kinds of miscellaneous taxes, conscription, and only collect land taxes in the future! ”

The onlookers shouted in astonishment when they heard that only one type of land tax was charged: "What? Only the field tax is collected! The poll tax will not be collected in the future? ”

The soldier shouted, "Of course, there are also commercial taxes, but that has a lot to do with you." You farmers only need to pay one kind of field tax in the future. Do not collect poll tax, do not collect miscellaneous taxes such as "rice consumption", and only collect land tax and tax per mu! ”

Hearing the soldier's affirmative reply, a farmer anxiously asked, "How much is the tax on that field?" ”

The soldier held his chest high and said proudly: "They all say that my marshal is sympathetic to you." Listen up, y'all! In the future, the field tax will be charged ten taxes and two per mu! At the same time, the general also said that he would never be endowed! So you don't have to pay so many taxes in the future, and you don't have to work hard to serve all kinds of forced labor! ”

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, in addition to the normal two taxes (summer and autumn), it was also necessary to pay "rice consumption"

In order to compensate for the consumption of grain in the process of transportation, the government levied a one-bell tax on farmers, called "rice consumption".

It is also necessary to pay "money for attracting money," "money for vinegar," and "money for the account of the head of the household," and even if the peasants win the lawsuit, they have to pay "money for winning and rejoicing."

There are many kinds of miscellaneous taxes, which put a heavy burden on the people.

After hearing the soldiers shouting about the new tax system, the onlookers were shocked when they heard it.

In a burst of cheers, a down-and-out scholar who set up a word stall at the city gate frowned and shouted: "Who is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses?" And how did he have the right to decide to collect taxes in this way, and when did the imperial court agree to it? ”

When the surrounding people heard the scholar's words, they immediately reacted.

Yes, why does Shi Jin, the so-called generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, have the right to do this, and what if the court does not agree?

They all pricked up their ears and eagerly wanted to hear this Liang Shanjun's explanation.

The Liangshan soldier burst out laughing and shouted, "Hahaha...... The generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses is the leader of my family, Shi Jin, and now Yizhou is my generalissimo, and this tax is naturally my generalissimo. Now that the world is in such chaos, I don't know what will happen in the future. Anyway, you don't have to worry, as long as my generalissimo is here for a day, the taxes in Yizhou will be collected according to the generalissimo's method! ”

Hearing that this generalissimo was Shi Jin, the leader of the Liangshan thieves, and that this tax was only set by himself, the people present all showed disappointed looks.

Although this nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin really does not lose the name of benevolence and righteousness, he will be sympathetic to the people.

If this tax is really paid as the so-called generalissimo said, and never increased, it will really be a great blessing to the common people.

It's a pity that this generalissimo is just a thief leader, and when he is there, he can still be the master. If he is defeated, how he should have collected taxes before, and how he would have collected taxes.

It would be nice if he became emperor. Then we will not have to be exploited by the faint king.

For a while, the people who heard the new tax were full of sighs. The Son of Heaven is not sympathetic to the people, but a robber leader is sympathetic to the people, and the way of this world is really ......

In addition to Linyi City, Shi Jin also sent dozens of heralds to set off from Linyi on horseback, running towards Yanzhou and Jeju, and posting notices and shouting loudly in villages along the way, publicizing the new taxes.

As the news of this new tax spread, it immediately set off an uproar in Shandong, and hundreds of people and scribes were arguing about this new tax.

When this new tax had a huge impact, Gongsun Sheng also returned to the Zixuguan of Erxian Mountain in Jizhou and met his master Luo Zhenren! ()
