Chapter 159: The Prototype of a Whip Method

Xu Jie's excellence was beyond Xiang Tian's expectations.

Especially for the analysis of the situation in the world, it can be said that he is well versed in three points, even if he has been paying attention to the major events in the world, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, who is in it, has no better answer than this.

The only difference is that the position of the two people, Xiang Tian and Xu Jie, the prince of Chu, is different, and the height is different, so there will naturally be differences.

In the analysis of this paragraph, Xu Jie's position is that of a strategist and an assistant, rather than a thorough focus on the pattern of the world like Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu.

The difference in this analysis also reflects the character of the two people from another aspect, Xu Jie is like Han Fei and Shang Ying, too rigid.

Such a person is good at power and strategy, not good at flexibility, and can only be a minister, not an emperor.

As the old saying goes, character determines the future, and sometimes look at it, this sentence is not unreasonable.

The thought flickered in his heart, and Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, looked at him like a torch, and couldn't help but look at the answer to the next question.

In fact, Xiang Tian knew that the second question he came up with was actually part of the third question, which involved part of the problem of changing the law.

Because if Chu wants to be strong, in the final analysis, it is necessary to completely change the law, and only in this way can it stand out from the strong in the weak situation.

Because of this, the second question is actually part of the third question.

"It's worthy of being a great talent, and I can actually understand the meaning of Lone, it seems that this time the Talent Seeking Order has brought one or two talents to the world, and Lone is also underestimating the heroes of the world."

Looking at Xu Jie's answer sheet, Chu Prince Xiang Tian's eyes flickered, and he knew in his heart that this person might really be able to help him completely change the law.

Eliminate all the shortcomings in the Chu State and create the momentum of the year.

Pressing the thought in his heart, Prince Xiang Tian of Chu looked at the bamboo slip, but at this moment, there was a trace of seriousness in his eyes.

There is no trace of carelessness at the beginning!

……

Combined conscription, the field levy and the conscription of various names are combined and levied together, and at the same time, part of the burden of servitude is spread into the acres of land.

In the past, the levy was changed from being carried out according to the household and the Ding to be apportioned according to the number of Ding and the field grain; Except for the need for the government to levy rice and wheat, the burden of servitude shall be converted into two cashiers.

The common people and all kinds of burdened laborers can pay for the labor, and the laborers are hired by the government to undertake the labor; The levy of conscription is handled directly by local officials......

……

Thousands of words were sprinkled, but the more Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, was more and more shocked, and at the same time, at this moment, the influence of Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, on Xu Jie rose a notch.

This person is a great talent, a great talent who is not inferior to Shang Ying, and Shen is not harmful.

(1) Clear the land, expand the area of collection, and make the tax relatively equal.

(2) Unified enslavement, restricting harshness, and stabilizing taxation.

(3) Collect silver per mu, and the official will be relieved to make the collection method more complete.

……

Seeing the three items listed at the end, Chu Prince Xiang Tian's face changed drastically, and at this moment, a trace of panic appeared in his heart.

He knew in his heart that all this was like a whip proposed by Zhang Juzheng in the Wanli period, if this Xu Jie was not a traverser, then he would be a great talent.

A peerless talent in the true sense buried by the torrent of history.

Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, knew in his heart that Zhang Juzheng's whip method was connected to the two tax laws of the Tang Dynasty and the apportionment of the Qing Dynasty.

Although a whip is only a transition, its existence is definitely not small.

For a while, Xiang Tian thought too much, and was silent for a long time, before he looked at Uncle Sun and said, "I will list Xu Jie as the first, and I will meet you in person in the State Hall three days later." ”

"No."

……

Nodding in agreement, Uncle Sun turned around and walked out, through the observation just now, he naturally knew that Chu Prince Xiang Tian valued Xu Jie.

"Xu Jie, who are you!"

Looking at Uncle Sun leaving, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, muttered, and continued to look at the bamboo slips, he knew in his heart that he was going to make a decision on this person.

If such a talent can't be left, then it will only be a hundred kills, and since you can't get it, you won't let others get it.

Xiang Tian knew the sharpness of a whip method, and he knew that it was also suitable for the moment, in the Chu State, it was not the people who occupied the most land, but the soldiers of Chu.

In view of the situation that the land occupied by a large number of land increases and taxes are reduced, only by starting with the land clearance can the service be equalized. Only the land of the entire Chu State was cleared, so that the landlords paid taxes on the land concealed.

In this way, the tax revenue of Chu will be greatly increased every year, so as to solve the embarrassment of internal and foreign difficulties in the Chu court.

Xiang Tian is clear that only the endowment will be attributed to the land and collected by the mu; Forced labor was changed to hired labor, and the government hired people to serve on their behalf. Due to the unification of the assignment, it is difficult for officials at all levels to use their names skillfully. As a result, the evils have been cleared up, so that taxes tend to be stable, and the peasants have been able to settle down for a while.

Only by doing so can the turbulent people of Chu live and work in peace and contentment in a short period of time, so that Chu has the strength to compete with the princes of the world for hegemony.

It's just that Xiang Tian knows more clearly in his heart that doing so basically means taking food from the tiger's mouth, making the court of Chu completely oppose the Chu Di Shi clan.

Once a whip law is enacted, there must be a strong government support, or it will have to be abandoned halfway.

The thought flickered in his heart, and Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, suddenly found that this was actually the best time, this was a troubled time, and it was far easier to change the law than to rule the world.

Similarly, when he openly worshiped the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, it was for the fundamental cultivation and warfare system of the rise of the Great Qin Empire.

He knew in his heart that if the Chu State wanted to rise, in addition to Xu Jie's whip method, it also needed the cooperation of Shang Ying's cultivation and warfare system.

In this world, those who are proficient in the method of Shang Ying's cultivation and warfare are probably headed by Shang Luo.

Thinking of this, Xiang Tian, the prince of Chu, had an idea in his heart that was rapidly taking shape, because he found that these two things could be carried out together.

Even the two complement each other, which can resolve the fierceness of the farming system to a certain extent.

……

"Hoo ......"

Exhaling deeply, Xiang Tian was silent for a while, in fact, he knew in his heart that everything has a gradual process.

The promulgation of a whip law more than a thousand years in advance will inevitably cause a huge impact in this era, and even cause turmoil in the Chu court for a time.

But Xiang Tian knew in his heart that he had no way to retreat at all, because the follow-up of a whip method would be even if it was paved into the mu, and the fire would be returned to the public.

Only by thoroughly promulgating the apportionment into the mu can the national strength of the Chu State reach its true peak.

Whether it is to be able to smoothly implement the apportionment into the mu in the future, or to solve the current problem of the emptiness of the Chu court, Xu Jie's whip method, he has to use it.

Xiang Tian knew in his heart that this was a tiger's mouth, a new revolution, which would inevitably be accompanied by bloodshed and death.
