Seeing everyone leave, Fan Wenguang stood in front timidly, shook his head and said, "My lord, Xia Guan initially just thought that everyone was against being tied with brothels and casinos.

The people's hearts are sinister, and I can't imagine that some people have ulterior motives to attack the New Deal. ”

Standing up and walking back and forth a few steps, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Fan Tongzhi, do you think this level of tax collection is reasonable?" ”

After thinking about it, Fan Wenguang shook his head and said: "My lord, this, this tax is equivalent to peeling the skin, although it is reasonable, but of course these who are skinned are unwilling." ”

Yang Lin sat down gloomily, shook his head again and again, and didn't know what to do?

Local rich landlords and landlords are fed all day long, many spend a lot of money to bribe bureaucrats, and many people also help the surrounding poor, but why do people have no sense of paying taxes, let alone paying taxes honorably.

At this time in history (beginning in 1644), King Charles I of England fell out with Parliament over the increase in taxes, and the two sides fought each other.

A hundred years later, King Louis XVI of France was guillotined because of taxes and bourgeoisie.

Now that he wants to implement the new policy on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to fight back against the local tyrants, the Great Western Liukou, and the Southern Ming bureaucrats, and the barbarian Qing Dynasty, is the fate of this life already doomed?

After thinking hard all night, Zhao Sixuan was in charge of restricting the development of brothels through the access permit system.

Only two casinos are allowed in the counties, and casinos with more than 10 people are allowed to admit, and in addition to the 10% of the turnover, a casino supervision fee of 5% is levied.

Only two large brothels are allowed in the counties, and the admission of brothels with more than 10 people is subject to a 5% supervision fee in addition to a 10% business levy on turnover.

For the top three businesses and workshops in each county, if it is confirmed that there is no tax evasion, the government will issue honorary plaques to reward them.

The implementation of the tax sharing system, for the total tax paid, each county retains 20%, and the retained tax expenditure is subject to the supervision of the future parliament.

Counties need to control administrative and personnel expenditures below 10% of the total tax, and the rest of the retained part should be used for the construction of local public facilities.

This satisfies the nominal demands of large merchants and large industrial households, who nominally demanded to distinguish themselves from the notorious industries such as casinos and brothels, and this time they met everyone's demands.

In addition, it also meets the requirements of the local gentry, local autonomy, and the co-governance of the gentry has always been everyone's proposition.

Of course, the most important thing is to win over the local government, in the past, the imperial court did not have such a statement, after the new deal fiscal revenue increased significantly, it can be withheld 20%, which is unheard of in the past. (During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the higher authorities did not allocate any money to repair the yamen, and many officials had to collect donations from the local government, and everyone did not have any financial power at all.) ）

The most important thing is to punish the ruffians and hooligans who extort the villagers and have nothing to do with themselves.

The most important thing is to restrain local scholars, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the social atmosphere was liberalized, and scholars were good at talking about state affairs, and some readers whose interests were damaged often had nothing to make up jokes, ridiculing Yang Lin and ridiculing the New Deal, it seems that it is time to rectify these jokers.

Just when Yang Lin was worried about the opposition of big merchants and big workshops in various places, and pondered hard about how to deal with it, news of the Great Western Army fighting grain came from Tongchuan Prefecture and Chongqing Prefecture, and news of the Ming Army's Zeng Ying Department looting the countryside came from Chongqing Prefecture.

The Great Western Army and the Ming Army fought Liang and plundered the township, mainly because there were too many troops, people everywhere became homeless, no longer growing grain as in the past, and the CD Plain suffered floods.

As mentioned above, Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, preparing to use Sichuan as a base to establish a partial security regime, and if he entered, he would compete with Li Zicheng and the Ming Dynasty for the world, and if he retreated, he would prefer Xishu like Liu Bei.

Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, from the beginning of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, to occupy the CD in June, and led more than 200,000 people into Sichuan.

Who would have thought that Long Wenguang, the governor of Sichuan in the former Ming Dynasty, and Zhao Jiawei, the county governor of Pixian County, would dig up the CD Plain and lead the water of the Minjiang River into the CD Plain, so that the country of abundance would suddenly become a thousand miles of red land, and there would be millions of victims and more than 200,000 members of the Western Army out of thin air.

After entering Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong's troops initially fought and won successes, and controlled most of Sichuan in less than half a year, but in the first year of Hongguang (1645 AD), he was defeated by He Zhen when he first attacked Hanzhong, and then Yang Linguang recovered Shunqing Mansion (Yin Chengqi and others in history), Zeng Yingguang recovered Chongqing Mansion, plus the Ming army Yungui army in southern Sichuan, the Great Western Army was compressed in the CD Plain and the hilly areas of central Sichuan.

With such a large territory, it is necessary not only to feed the many victims who are waiting to be fed, but also to feed more than 200,000 Western troops, which in itself is beyond the limit of local bearing, and the disaster in the CD Plain and the turmoil of displaced people in various places have made this contradiction even more acute.

Those newly surrendered guards and horses were the first to be the first to be full, those who followed Zhang Xianzhong into Sichuan were not enough to eat, and the others were not well fed, but these people were holding sharp weapons one by one, and they were on the battlefield, and everyone was now fighting against the rebels in various places, and after a few meals of not having enough to eat, they began to rely on force to rob food.

The Great Western Army fought for food, and the same was true of Zeng Yingbu, the Ming general who had just occupied Chongqing, everyone initially followed Zeng Ying out and then revolted, just hoping to eat together, in order to eat, Zeng Ying ascended to the top and shouted, and tens of thousands of people followed.

After three months of fierce fighting, Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, Liu Lanchang, who participated in politics, and Zeng Yingbu, the general soldier, finally occupied Chongqing, but after a year of tossing and turning by the Great Western Army, Chongqing was no longer as rich as it was today, the land was deserted, and the people were seriously abandoned.

Zeng Ying, who had just occupied Chongqing, had no money or food to reward these meritorious officials, and these people thought that they had made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and when they saw that they could not be rewarded, many people began to rob the rich families in the township.

Now that the various departments were short of food, they found out that the loyal and righteous army had surplus food, and sent Liu Liangchang, who participated in the political affairs, and Li Zhanchun, the general of the staff, to come to Shunqing Fucheng bypassing Hezhou, and took out the official document of the governor's yamen, asking for the allocation of 10,000 loads of grain.

Sitting at the top, looking at the political staff chief Liu Liangchang and the general Li Zhanchun, they looked arrogant and empty-eyed, as if they clearly told everyone that the loyal army is the loyal army of the Ming Dynasty, and the Shunqing Mansion is the Shunqing Mansion of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking about the official document in his hand, Yang Lin's face was embarrassed, and Qian Bangxin, who was born in imperial history, couldn't sit still, and arched his hand: "My lord, here is the official document of the governor of the yamen, Liu Shenzheng and Li Shenjun are both imperial court officials, what the two said is correct, let's give them the military grain." ”

Yang Lin's face became even more ugly, and he pointed to the map in front of him and said: "After many accumulations, our army has accumulated a little grain and grass, but this will be used to conquer the local tyrants, and to use it to crusade against the Liukou."

Qian Jianjun, Liu Shenzheng, and General Li Shenjun, everyone is a person who leads troops to fight, of course they know the truth that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved. ”

Liu Yanchang was slightly stunned, shook his head and said: "Governor Yang, the saying that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass is moved is well known to the world, not to mention that I am here and all the princes." It is often said that the prefect often finds another way, and we are willing to listen to it. ”

Yang Lin smiled, spread his arms and said, "Liu is too modest in participating in politics, but he just feels it." In Wang Chaoyang's army that year, various departments were in arrears, and finally caused a mutiny.

The phrase "grain and grass first" before the soldiers and horses are moved does not only mean that the grain and grass should be protected when fighting, but more importantly, it emphasizes the relationship between the military and the people.

If the tax in one place is very small, and the person in charge is unaware of it and frantically expands the army, he will inevitably end up using military force and harming the people.

At present, the Loyal and Righteous Army controls nine counties in Shunqing, one county in Tongchuan Prefecture, and two counties in Dazhou, and now the Loyal and Righteous Army is only ten battalions of soldiers and horses, and there are only 6,000 people with ordnance and baggage. ”

When Li Zhanchun heard this, he was quite surprised, and shouted: "Yang Lin, you, you have enough people to raise six thousand people in one place?" I have 50,000 troops in Chongqing, but of course there is not enough food.

Yang Lin, the official document of the governor's yamen is here, do you want to disobey the order? ”

Yang Lin didn't speak, and Yin Chengqi, the senior senator next to him, began to speak, looked at the domineering Li Zhanchun, and said disdainfully: Although there are 50,000 people in your department, what is the use of a rabble?

Of your 50,000 people, there are only more than 10,000 people who can really fight, and many of your soldiers and horses may not be much different from the rural militias.

Although there are only 6,000 people in our loyal army, the real number is not like many people who count those family members, the old and the weak and the remnants.

If we really want to use all kinds of military force, I have more than 100 militia troops in one township, and more than 1,000 militia groups in each county, so just add local militia groups, and my loyal and righteous army will have 20,000 people. ”

Li Zhanchun was quite annoyed, pressed his hands on the hilt of the knife and said: "Yang Lin, you, are you the opposite, the official document of the governor's yamen is here, do you want to disobey the order?" ”

Seeing that Li Zhanchun was about to come hard, the surrounding guards also pressed the handle of the knife one after another, and some even blocked the front.

Yang Lin laughed, shouted back from everyone, and stood up with his hand pressed on the big knife.

Qian Bangxin and Liu Liangchang also admonished again and again, so that the two sides could dissipate their anger, and in order to stiffen the relationship, they even pulled Li Zhanchun down the lobby and urged him to calm down.

Yang Lin finally reacted, looked at everyone, shook his head and said: "Everyone, this Li Zhanchun is too much of a bully, he obviously bullies this general is young and can be bullied, and he wants to use a strong one."

If everyone is indiscriminate, and all the friendly forces are so tough, so that there is no need for rogues and Houjin to fight, we will fight ourselves, and in this way, isn't it bitter and hateful? ”

Liu Yanchang sighed, and said again and again: "Lord Yang Ruzhen Yang, we are also forced to do so, the army is short of food, and the adults are on the political side, and their political achievements are quite good.

Although they are in troubled times, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone comes to borrow food for the official reputation of adults. ”

Qian Bangxin also admonished: "My lord, in the whole Sichuan, only our loyal army is still peaceful, and all prefectures and counties up and down Sichuan are short of food.

There may be nothing in other states and counties that lack food, but the Great Western Army is not ordinary, if Zhang Xianzhong leads his troops to attack, he still needs friendly troops. ”

Yang Lin was stunned in his heart, in history, the Qing army rushed thousands of miles, Zhang Xianzhong seemed to have died in Xichong, so it seems that the loyal army and the Liukou will have a life-and-death duel sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Yang Lin sighed and said: "Alas, Li Zhanchun was born as a military general, plus he thinks of himself as a high-minded and empty-eyed person, and speaks with thorns.

Let's take a look, in the same way, Qian Jianjun and Liu Shenzheng are heartwarming when they say it, but Li Zhanchun is angry when they say it.

Liu participated in politics, as he said at the beginning, our army has a little savings in food and grass, but it is mainly for the relief of the victims, mainly for the crusade against the local tyrants and the crusade against the rogue.

Since the two adults said so, then I will allocate 5,000 quintals for free, but you also know that this thousand miles of food will be consumed on this road, and there are very few that are actually transported to the place.

Li Zhanchun wasn't coaxed by cowhide just now, you go and tell him when he captures Hezhou City, and he will transport these 5,000 quintals of grain to Hezhou Water Village by water. ”

Qian Bangqi's face changed slightly, and he sighed: "My lord, this, this, let Zeng Ying attack Hezhou, isn't it good?" ”

Yang Lin smiled: "How is this bad? General Zeng Ying is not known as the first general in Sichuan, and he defeated Zhang Wenxiu's army of more than 30,000 with a little strategy.

Besides, there is only a small road that can be crossed by land, not to mention the consumption on the road, but also the lack of food, if they hear that we are transporting food, the rogue will inevitably send troops to loot, so it is not safe to take the land route. ”

Liu Liangchang, a political officer in eastern Sichuan, thought about it, shook his head and said, "My lord, there is no problem with this, we will attack Hezhou."

But if you capture Hezhou, can you increase the amount of grain and grass you allot, is 5,000 quintals too little? ”

Yang Lin shook his head and said: "This, this is a lot, besides, my Shunqing Mansion is in the land of the four wars, and there are too many places that need grain and grass, so I always have to leave some grain and grass in case of emergency." ”

Liu Lanchang had no choice but to force it, so he had to agree.
