These "tax increases" are attached to the regular tax, and there are also other things such as and buying, and bargaining, exempt money, auxiliary money, folding silk money, monthly piles, board accounts, and money from the general system. These belong to the "levies within the law" recognized by the imperial court, and there are countless means of raising taxes in various places, which exceed the regular tax by at least two or three times, and even reach more than ten times or even dozens of times in extreme cases. At that time, Jinshi Lin Xun said: "The number of two taxes in this dynasty has increased to seven times depending on the Tang Dynasty."

In addition, the local governments of the Song Dynasty had many extra-legal taxes, and it was even difficult for Sun Hui to make a more comprehensive statistics. For example, the various miscellaneous taxes collectively known as "miscellaneous money" include farm tools, cowhides, flour money, shoe money, gift money, Tianshen Festival silver money, people's New Year's money, pavilion money, boat hire money, post money, and so on.

In the Song Dynasty, due to the central government's exploitation of the local area too much, the local government was prompted to squeeze the people, and various localities set up various kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which were among the best in Chinese history. At the same time, the lax financial management system also allowed many local officials to take the opportunity to become corrupt and prey on the common people, which greatly aggravated the social contradictions of the Song Dynasty and pushed the society to further disintegrate.

What Sun Hui needs to do now is to take the opportunity of this victory over the invasion of the Jin people to implement strong reforms in the name of building and strengthening national defense, change the Song Dynasty's model of "the country is rich and the people are poor", and put its social development on a benign track.

Because the Great Song Dynasty almost wiped out the Jin soldiers, it can be described as a "deep pain", the government and the opposition have a sense of introspection, and the call for change is getting louder and louder, in this atmosphere, Sun Hui was able to quietly implement his plan behind the scenes.

As long as he changes history more, the less chance there is for Time and Space Paradise to turn around.

Of course, changing history and achieving a different and powerful Song Dynasty is not a small sense of accomplishment for him.

In addition, another important thing that Sun Hui did was to teach the military technical knowledge that he knew that could be applied in this era to young new generals such as Di Feng, Yue Fei, and Gao Zhong as much as possible.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the spring of Linrui's third year.

After a year and a half of recuperation, the Song Dynasty quickly regained its national strength, under the secret promotion of Sun Hui, He Li, Li Gang and others implemented tax reduction reforms nationwide, canceled a lot of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and at the same time Zhao Ji issued an edict, ordering local governments to set up "Changping Treasury" to collect and store the miscellaneous tax revenues allowed by the imperial court to be collected in case of local emergencies. These measures greatly reduced the tax burden on the people, agriculture and industry and commerce prospered again, and the local government because it had its own treasury, in the event of floods and droughts, it did not have to ask the imperial court for help, and could mobilize materials to help the people on its own, the administrative efficiency was greatly improved, and the abolition of a large number of miscellaneous taxes also eased the contradiction between the government and the people, and the society of the Song Dynasty was rejuvenated and vigorous.

In order to change the Song Dynasty's tradition of "worshipping literature and suppressing martial arts", Sun Hui deliberately improved the status of the "martial saint" Jiang Ziya, and launched a vigorous sacrificial activity across the country.

In fact, Jiang Ziya, as the first martial saint in Chinese history, is well-deserved.

In folklore, after the destruction of Shang, Jiang Ziya was crowned a god and a god for the heroes of the world, with a lofty status. Jiang Ziya is both a god of martial arts and a god of wisdom. The real Jiang Ziya was humble for half his life, and it was not until he was seventy years old that he came out of the mountain to assist King Zhou Zuowen and King Wu of Zhou to destroy Shang, and made a thousand achievements. After the destruction of Shang, he was named Taishi, and the fief of Qi State, the monarch of Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in later generations was Jiang Ziya's Jiang lineage. The position of Taishi is not only in charge of military affairs, but also in charge of political affairs. He is the head of the courtiers.

In terms of literature, Jiang Ziya is the author of the military book "Liutao", which is one of the seven books of martial arts.

To put it simply, Jiang Ziya is almost impeccable in terms of cultural governance and martial arts. Therefore, later generations also respected him very much. Later, Confucius talked about Jiang Ziya, and also praised: "Taigong, who also benefits the world." ”

In the Tang Dynasty, the martial Tang Taizong admired the incomparable wisdom of Jiang Ziya very much, so he respected Jiang Taigong as a martial saint. In the Tang Suzong period, he began to set up a martial temple, so that Jiang Ziya could enjoy the fireworks in the world, and posthumously crowned Jiang Taigong as the king of Wucheng, and the sacrifice was equivalent to Confucius. And Jiang Ziya was equipped with seventy-two generals of the Ten Philosophers of Yasheng, Jiang Ziya's statue was in the center, Zhang Liang was the deputy, Bai Qi, Han Xin, Zhuge Liang, Li Jing, and Li Tao were on the left; Zhang Liang, Tian Sui Tho, Wu Qi, Le Yi, Sun Wu are right. There are also Lian Po, Sun Bin, Wang Qian, Guan Yu, Su Dingfang, Han Baohu, Xie Xuan, Yu Wenxian, Zhou Yu and other famous generals of all generations in history. During the reign of Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong, he continued to crown Jiang Ziya as the king of Zhaolie Wucheng, and still took Jiang Ziya as the martial saint and worshiped the martial temple.

In order to improve the status of the generals, Sun Hui also deliberately emphasized the praise of Confucius to Jiang Ziya, and widely publicized the heroic deeds of Yue Fei who beheaded the Golden Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai, so that Yue Fei's great achievements were known to the world, and Yue Fei himself became another idol of the young people of the Song Dynasty after Di Qing. In addition, Sun Hui also urged Sun Fu to play the imperial court, for Di Qing's innocence was rehabilitated, to commemorate and commend Di Qing's exploits that year, Emperor Zhao Ji then issued an edict to erect a monument for Di Qing, sent officials to pay tribute in the Spring and Autumn Period, and posthumously crowned Di Feng and other descendants of the Di family.

After such an operation, the status of the Song Dynasty generals was improved, although the power of Zhang Shuye, Zong Ze, Wang Yan and other generals was still subject to many restrictions, but it was still much better than before, and the combat effectiveness of the Song generals was greatly improved compared with the past.

In contrast, the strength of the Jin Kingdom has decreased considerably.

After the Jin army retreated, it broke off the news with the Central Plains, and after the Song army recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun, the news mainly came from the Han people who returned from the south of the Jin state. According to these people, after the Jin army returned to China, there was soon chaos in the country, and after a bloody killing, the "eldest prince" Mu Han won the throne and became the emperor of the Jin country. However, as soon as Yan Zonghan came to power, he announced that he was a vassal to the Song Dynasty, took the initiative to remove the emperor's title, and proclaimed himself the "Lord of the Great Jin Kingdom", and declared that he would abide by the conditions of the peace treaty proposed by the Song Dynasty to "return the Han people", so that a large number of Han people who had been plundered to the north by the Jin people could return to their hometowns.

Sun Hui understood why Yan Zonghan would do this, he was worried that after the Song army recaptured the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it would use this as a springboard to continue to advance north and destroy the Jin State.

Sun Hui believed that as long as Wanyan Zonghan could find a means to counter him, he would definitely launch a counteroffensive.
