Chapter 0267 - Straight to the Yellow Dragon

Completely scaring the Jin people and beating them to the point that they dare not have a little disobedience is Qian Heng's purpose.

In the autumn of the first year of the constitution, Zhao and Song Chen had 200,000 soldiers and launched an offensive against the Jin soldiers.

Zhao Song's action was tantamount to a slap in the face for Wanyan Zongwang.

Wanyan Zongwang, who underestimated the combat power of the Song soldiers in his heart, would never have expected that in just a short confrontation, he would lose 50,000 elite soldiers.

Wanyan Zongwang had a total of 150,000 elite soldiers, and in this one case, he lost 50,000.

This made Wanyan Zongwang feel shocked, and a little fear also rose in his heart.

How did Wanyan Zongwang know that Qian Heng deployed troops this time, but he gathered the strongest troops of the two Song Dynasty, not only that, but almost all the famous generals in the Song Dynasty were transferred to the border of the Jin and Song Dynasties, not to mention, there was also the famous general Yue Fei Yue Pengju as the vanguard.

After three days of fighting, Wanyan Zongwang lost most of his elite soldiers, so he could no longer bear the panic in his heart and hurriedly withdrew his troops.

Qian Heng gave an order, and all the Great Song soldiers sent troops to attack Huanglong Mansion.

In the winter of the first year of the constitution, Qian Heng returned to Bianjing, and the court and China had already changed their staff. Li Ruoshui and Zhang Shuye also stepped into the DPRK as prime ministers, even if there were occasional people in the DPRK who disagreed with the new policy, they all secretly held back, in order to wait until Qian Heng left, and they were making plans.

Zhao Butry recruited Qian Heng into the apse, and the two sat opposite each other, making tea and discussing.

"Hengyuan, this throne doesn't seem to be so easy to sit on!"

Zhao Butry sighed lightly.

Since accepting the Zen throne and ascending the throne, Zhao Buqian has been facing all kinds of troublesome problems.

The most acute thing is what Qian Heng mentioned, the matter of improving the status of the Shinong industrial and commercial industry has made the world's corporates very resistant. So much so that countless twists and turns were sent to Zhao Bu before trying the case.

Those ministers in the DPRK and China who held the same view waited and saw what happened to Zhao Buqian one by one, wanting to see what Zhao Buqian planned to deal with.

Facing Zhao Butry, who had a sad face, Qian Heng smiled, "Don't try brother, now you have changed your understanding of the selection method I mentioned to you at the beginning, right?" ”

Zhao Buchi nodded, "I don't know how Hengyuan came up with this kind of clever plan, if I want to worry about this kind of thing every day, it is really better to go to Qiongzhou with you to be free!" ”

Qian Heng hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't try brother first, don't be in such a hurry to live that kind of idle life, when will you wait for brother to straighten out the court, you can naturally let go and leave!" ”

The selection method that Qian Heng said is actually to want Zhao Butry not to be too greedy for the throne, the so-called imperial system, passed down from generation to generation, if you catch up with only one son, isn't it that this only son must ascend the throne as the emperor with any qualifications?

And if you want Zhao Song to be strong, the only way to solve it is to expand the scope of selection of successors.

Since Zhao Song laid down the world for the Zhao family, all the heirs of the Zhao family, regardless of their relatives, are qualified to take over the throne.

Qian Heng and Zhao Butry had roughly calculated the number of heirs of the Zhao family, and if even the concubines were included, there would be as many as a thousand.

To say that there is not even a single outstanding child out of a thousand people is a bit too much.

Zhao Butry can be regarded as accepting Qian Heng's suggestion.

Moreover, Qian Heng also directly copied the way of the change of leaders in later generations and put forward a very bold idea.

That is the emperor's non-permanent system.

In front of him, Zhao Ji abdicated in advance, and Zhao Huan was directly bombarded within a few months of ascending the throne, and Zhao Bu tried to replace him.

According to the rules set by Qian Heng, the emperor needs to have the heir of the Zhao family, but this throne must be competitive, and only those with outstanding political achievements can be recommended as successors. And this qualification is not only available to the emperor in office.

Each candidate who is ready to take over the throne has three alternative places, one is recommended by the incumbent emperor, and the other two are officials and generals of the fifth rank or above in the court, and the best one is selected by the number of votes, and the three places are gathered.

In this way, it not only avoids most of the possibility of the selection of the imperial throne being controlled, but also allows the new emperor, because he has a certain support base, to quickly start presiding over the management of affairs.

To put it in layman's terms, Qian Heng just moved the presidential system of later generations, but only slightly limited the scope of the presidential selection.

And for the term of office of the throne, Qian Heng also made a brief reminder that he could serve for two consecutive terms for ten years, but Qian Heng was not in a hurry to let Zhao Butry to say it.

After all, Zhao Buqian is not too old now, even if he has been an emperor for three terms, there is no problem.

And the most important thing is that Qian Heng realized that if Zhao Butry wanted to completely stabilize this system, it would be impossible to complete it within one term.

However, Zhao Buqian didn't want to stay on the throne for so long, and after actually sitting on the throne, Zhao Buqian had already realized how difficult it was to be a good emperor.

But as a descendant of Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao couldn't give up easily if he didn't try, so he would find Qian Heng and ask for a strategy.

The current Zhao Buqian no longer treats Qian Heng as a courtier, and Zhao Buqian also understands in his heart that if Qian Heng really wants to overthrow him as the emperor, with Qian Heng's current strength, it is just a matter of one sentence.

Therefore, Zhao Butry knows better that the life that Qian Heng will live in the future is what he envies the most.

"Hengyuan, after the promulgation of this new policy, many scholars and gate lords are very resistant to this, how should we deal with it?"

It is indeed not an easy thing to let the world of a thousand years ago accept a management system that lags behind for a thousand years.

However, this kind of thing, if you calculate it carefully, is actually not too difficult to do.

Thinking of this, Qian Heng suddenly smiled, "Actually, if you really want to talk about difficult problems, it's not even a problem!" ”

"Hengyuan, talk quickly!"

Zhao Butry urged.

"It's very simple, set a tax burden, limit the fixed amount of land per person, and if it exceeds, all the taxes will be high, why should those who work and do business have to pay commercial taxes, and those country gentry can ignore the law of the country and refuse to pay taxes?"

Zhao Butry was stunned, "Fixed the amount of land?" ”

Qian Heng nodded, "Yes, it's a fixed amount, for example, we can find a random place as a sample, according to the output of local farmland, how much farmland can support a person, is the basic number of land of local individuals, once it exceeds this amount, you can collect taxes, for example, farmers in the suburbs of Bianjing, one acre of land can support one person, this family has a total of three, then there are three acres of land that do not need to pay taxes, and the rest need to pay taxes to the imperial court!" ”

Zhao Buqian was shocked, "Hengyuan, do you know that if you follow this approach, there will be tens of millions of people in my Great Song Dynasty, and if you want to be exempted from farmland taxes, where will the revenue of the treasury come from?" ”

Qian Heng laughed loudly, "Don't try brother, but as far as I know, just the world's corporal clans and famous families have taken up more than eighty percent of my real estate in the Great Song Dynasty, and this tax burden is of course paid by them, of course, the premise is to measure the actual land owned by each family!" ”

Zhao Bu tried to have a difficult face, "I'm afraid this kind of thing is not easy to do, right?" ”

Qian Heng smiled, "What's wrong with this?" Directly arrange people to go down, and after the Jin people are destroyed, so many elite soldiers and strong generals, are you still afraid that those famous families will not be able to rebel? ”
