Chapter Seventy-Eight: Change

85_85249According to the news forwarded back by the headquarters army, in Shimen County, Jizhou and Zuoxia (southern Hetao) County, Xiazhou, because Ouyang Xuan killed corrupt officials and exterminated Confucian scholars several times, plus the Sauron Ministry, some people took advantage of this to secretly pounce, and it seemed that there was a rebellion. Jizhou is okay there, if someone in Zuoxia rebels, it will directly endanger the capital of Xiagu. According to the tip, this rebel force has united more than 50,000 retired veterans in Zuoxia and is preparing weapons, grain and grass to choose an opportune notice. This is an important reason why Ouyang Xuan feels sad, he has worked hard to find a happy land for the people, and the people at the grassroots level still have people who want to rebel, especially those retired veterans.

Ouyang Xuan had to transfer Zhong Zhao of the Han Dynasty back to Zuoxia to secretly investigate this inciting rebellion force among the people, and at the same time Ouyang Xuan drafted a letter to the people, to the effect that the land of this summer was originally a barren land, but now the water is abundant and the grass is beautiful, the cultivated soil is fertile, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, without excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. There are officials in China who are honest and honest, and there are powerful and strong troops outside to protect them to ensure that there are no internal and external difficulties in the land of China. If the people have complaints and sufferings, they can communicate with the government and the parliament for feedback, the country of China is the country of the people, if you don't like China, I can switch and release the people back to the Han land, and show your deeds. The land of China does not tolerate dissidents, and history has its own judgment on my mistakes. Confucianism's propaganda is supreme, and I cannot tolerate it. For the top is the right, light on the people's power, depreciation of business praise, suppression of work and promotion of art is Confucianism, and the future of China is not good, I ordered the punishment, Huaxia to the law, to the people as the root, respect the law and keep promises, is the benefit of the people. Although I have privileges, I have long been in seclusion from the world, giving way to preaching, and when I am ordered to be in danger in China, how can I dictate the dynasty? Now there is still a parliamentary house that can be compared with the emperor's edict, entrusted by the people, to do things to govern the country, what is the complaint? I tell the people of the world to put the country first, take the country as their home, and take it as their own responsibility.

The edict was transferred to the Xiagu base through the Yulin Army and handed over to Ouyang Dan, and after being deliberated by the cabinet, it was transferred to the Parliamentary Yuan for review and approval, and then it was jointly signed by the emperor, the cabinet, and the Parliamentary Yuan, and announced to the world. This is also Ouyang Xuan's original intention to set up the parliamentary court, any legal and policy provisions must be jointly signed by the three parties, and any less party will be regarded as invalid, and Ouyang Xuan's edict must also be reviewed by the three parties.

After issuing the edict, Ouyang Xuan was also relaxed, he thought that his influence in Huaxia was enough to sober up those people who were bewitched. I hurriedly made up for it, and was woken up by Ouyang Gui at noon, and pulled the sleepy-eyed Ouyang Xuan to the yard, and more than 20 good guys actually caught more than ten deer at night, including reindeer, sika deer, elk, and two Tianshan antelopes. Ouyang Xuan had to admire the charm of this girl's cuteness, usually these guards would hardly go to the hunting ground to hunt if it wasn't for Ouyang Xuan's order, and even if they went, it was already very good to catch one or two. In their words, the prey there belongs to the white wolf and the baby bear. Now there are more than a dozen of them, which shows how determined these guards are.

Since the girl has spoken, Ouyang Xuan naturally can't refute face, so he set up an oven, Ouyang Xuan picked one reindeer and one sika deer and ordered someone to slaughter them, and let the guards get the rest themselves. For many years by Ouyang Xuan's side, he was a master, except for the deacons and the guards who went out, almost all of them were mobilized in the palace and began to cook barbecue feasts in the ice and snow world.

This winter was quietly spent in a joyful atmosphere all over China, after Ouyang Xuan's edict was issued all over the country, Ouyang Dan followed up with an edict on tax reduction before the New Year, and the tax reduction was also quite large, farmers and herdsmen no longer had to pay taxes, and the taxes on agricultural and animal husbandry products were also reduced by half, and the commercial tax was changed from the original payment by household to the payment of goods sold, and the merchant tax was reduced by sixty percent. The state granary reserve has been changed from paying taxes to purchasing grain, and every year it is to purchase new grain and sell old grain to ensure that the grain storage period is one year, and at the same time a property tax is levied, according to the amount of property tax, the more property, the higher the tax, including land, currency, and houses, calculated according to the capitation, except for the basic guarantee property, the rest are all taxed. At the same time, there is also the reform of the land ownership system, from the original private land and public land system coexist, all changed to private land, the land belongs to private ownership, land can be freely bought and sold and circulated, except for the land exceeding 50 acres per person, the rest of the tax is taxed, and at the same time, the land transaction tax has been increased, which is borne by the buyer. In this way, ordinary farmers and herdsmen hardly have to pay taxes, only large households and land annexors need to pay high taxes, ordinary merchants pay taxes have dropped a lot, but those commercial tycoons have increased taxes, the treasury tax not only did not decrease because of tax reduction, but increased, and families who have served in the military further reduce taxes according to the length of service, which allows ordinary people to spend the Spring Festival of 120 years in China.

When Ouyang Xuan read this edict and the drafter, the dumplings in his mouth almost squirted out, the drafters were actually Ouyang Duo and Tang De, and there was actually a detailed implementation plan, including the establishment of a tax office and a set of rewards and punishments for property declaration, the establishment of a credit system, and incentives in money bank loans, customs clearance, and shipping, such as truthfully declaring property tax for ten years can enjoy one year of tax exemption and freight priority. If it weren't for Ouyang Xuan watching Tang De grow up little by little, Ouyang Xuan would have suspected that this guy might have also traveled here. Whether it is the design of the system to the implementation of the plan, it is airtight, and it is feasible, from the implementation, supervision, and acceptance of the complete plan, almost the difficulties that will be encountered have been thought through, and even some commonly used property transfer tricks in later generations have been thought of, even Ouyang Xuan can't find even the slightest loophole. It seems that this person is really good at governance, as for him hanging Ouyang Duo's name in front, Ouyang Xuan thinks it is reasonable, if not, these reform measures will be really difficult to pass the review of the Council and the emperor. These two reforms alone are enough to alleviate the widening gap between the rich and the poor in society. Now China is not like the Han land, lost the land and lost everything, now the most lacking in China is not farmers and herdsmen, but craftsmen, now the various factories and workshops have raised the treatment of craftsmen to the level of a six-grade official, and the people spontaneously formed a set of pension system. After being revised by the Council, a pension bill was voted to pass, and Ouyang Xuan had also seen this bill, and Ouyang Xuan saw Tang De's shadow between the lines. Tie military service, paying taxes, and pensions. The age of pension is set at 65 years old, and the government pension, and the people who have not paid taxes must pay pension funds to the household administration office established by the government, and they can enjoy the government pension treatment after 20 consecutive years. The pension documents issued by the household administration offices in various places can continue to pay fees throughout the country, and can also be carried out in all parts of the country. This reminded Ouyang Xuan of the pension insurance of later generations, in addition to the orphanages built in various counties and counties in Huaxia today, old people's homes were also established at the village and town neighborhood level, completely liberating young and middle-aged people, so that they have no worries. Let a large amount of funds originally used for pension enter industry, agriculture and commerce, which further promoted the prosperity of China. It's just that due to the constraints of the conditions, we have not yet thought of a reasonable way, and we still rely on government and private clinics to carry out medical treatment. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, less than 1 percent of the elderly over 60 years old in China today are mainly because medical conditions limit the average life expectancy of people, coupled with the stable development of society in the past 100 years, the population base has increased sharply, and now the population of China has reached 300 million, and now the birth rate and mortality rate have reached a wonderful balance. Ouyang Xuan sent people to investigate this phenomenon, and from the final results, because of the increase of social welfare and the improvement of life, coupled with the popularization of education, the concept of the current people has also changed, and the concept of inheritance has been diluted because of Ouyang Xuan's strong extermination of Confucianism. The average age of marriage has also been postponed to 30 years old for men and 25 years old for women, and young people are now more focused on the individual, which Ouyang Xuan could never have imagined.

With the advent of the summer of the 12th year of China, Ouyang Gui was already five years old, Zhao Yan was sent by Ouyang Xuan to Dongyang as the emperor's grandson to study, and received Tang De education, Ouyang Xuan also asked Li Mu and Peng Fei to go to Dongyang to conduct military education for the two, which shows that Ouyang Xuan wants Ouyang Duo to ascend the throne, these people will become important ministers of Ouyang Duo's government.

This summer, Ouyang Xuan took Ouyang Gui and Tai Shuxuan to an outdoor crossing along the Tianshan Mountains, and this time it was certainly not as embarrassed as when he first came. With 500 guards and a full set of equipment, of course, everyone had a first-class sweat and blood horse, plus the camel team carrying supplies, the whole team was also quite spectacular. And the destination of this crossing is the location of the Hutu Department now called Changji County, which is also Ouyang Gui's fiefdom, and Ouyang Xuan has already ordered Nie Sheng to build a mansion in Hutu County.

This trip is Ouyang Xuan's nostalgia for the scene when he came to this era, in the Ili River Valley Ouyang Xuan just came to the place where he got off the flying saucer, the same night, but the season is a little worse, and there is no need to avoid the crowd, directly set up camp in the grassland under the mountain, arrange the smell of confusion and the warning bell, only four Ming Sentinel deacons were left, and the rest of the people rested in the tent.

The night on the grassland has never been peaceful, and now Ouyang Xuan is not like when he first came, he is just a person, and he needs to beware of fierce beasts when he sleeps. Now there are a lot of people, and each of them is a master, so he naturally sleeps very soundly. Ouyang Gui was very curious about camping in the wild, and always kept asking this and that, Ouyang Xuan told her in a daze for a long time, and finally fell asleep. The little guy felt bored, ran outside again, pulled the guard on duty, and asked one sentence at a time. It wasn't until he fell asleep in the guard's arms that the guard quickly called a female soldier and sent the little one back to his tent. Under the lights of the camp, the four guards noticed the shining eyes on the mountain beam. A pack of wild animals that don't know what is wandering around the camp, but judging by the incessant noses of Buick and Guli, it should be a pack of wolves. When Buick and Guli ran out of the camp and came back, the group of unidentified creatures quietly disappeared into the night.

With the sun shining on the grassland, the camp also regained its vitality, Ouyang Gui was the first to get up, habitually ran into Ouyang Xuan's tent, and lay on Ouyang Xuan's arm to sleep. Ouyang Xuan put the little guy away, got up and got dressed, and quietly walked out of the tent. After inquiring about the situation at night, Ouyang Xuan was not surprised at all by the presence of wolves nearby. Ouyang Xuan moved his body briefly before ordering to prepare breakfast. The food is very simple, milk tea and meat buns, and the herdsmen in the vicinity will naturally come over when they see such a gorgeous caravan to see if there is anything to buy. Through their understanding, wolves are now rampant here, and there are fewer and fewer herdsmen living here, and the Western Army has a battalion stationed not far from here to protect the herdsmen from the invasion of fierce beasts, and regularly drive out the wolves, so as to ensure that the herdsmen can still graze normally here. The reason why wolves can flood here is also related to the herdsmen's worship of Buick and Guli, who treat wolves as sacred relics and prohibit shooting. This made Ouyang Xuan cry and laugh, so he had to give an order to kill the wolves to the western military academy captain stationed here, the wolves have seriously threatened the survival of human beings, this is not what Ouyang Xuan wants to see. I heard from the herdsmen that wolves can often be seen roaming during the day, cattle and sheep are often lost, and children used to be taken by wolves almost every month, but now it is difficult to see children playing on the grassland in the spring and summer pastures.

This is the characteristic of wolves, as long as conditions allow, they reproduce very quickly, and they will do anything for food, especially sand wolves. When the captain rushed over, it was almost noon, and Ouyang Xuan directly ordered him to clean up the wolves in the defense area within ten days. "Your Majesty, the wolves and shepherds here all think it is a holy thing, and the Qing is afraid that it will cause public anger."

"And the shepherd said that I ordered the purge, which has endangered life, and also worshiped such beasts as gods, which is sad. Immediate execution". "No!".

"In addition, in the name of the garrison, the wolf catcher is rewarded, and the wolf's fangs are rewarded. The wolf is not a dog, but a bad thing, a little carelessness can endanger the destruction of the village and the town", in history in the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, there really happened because of the wolves and destroyed a city.

After the captain left, Ouyang Xuan and his entourage drove east along the route Ouyang Xuan walked back then. Along the way, Ouyang Gui always sat in Ouyang Xuan's arms, and liked the scenery along the way, and had to go out alone several times, but was stopped by Ouyang Xuan, and now that the wolves were so rampant, Ouyang Xuan didn't dare to let her walk out of his sight with the white wolf alone.

Every night, Ouyang Xuan would carry Ouyang Gui to inspect the camp before returning to the tent, and there would always be wolves watching the camp from a distance at night. There are even snow leopards, tigers, bears and other fierce beasts that roam the perimeter of the camp, and are chased away by Buick and Guli every time. Ouyang Gui seemed to be very interested in these wolves and beasts, and always tried to get in touch, until one night when Ouyang Xuan was inspecting the camp and saw the little guy sneaking out of the camp with Buick and Guli, playing with the wolves by the river in the distance, Ouyang Xuan was relieved, the fate of the previous life was continued in this life. Now the little guy has made the guards make two leather scabbards, and it is also very imposing to hang two Ingisha short knives. Under the teaching of Uncle Tai Xuan and the guards, he also played a knife skill, but he was still a little immature.

The place where Ouyang Xuan killed the snow leopard's mother and son has been renovated, and the stone tablet has also been inlaid on a boulder, and the characters have been recolored, and a circular concrete tomb stands not far from the stone tablet. Ouyang Xuan ordered someone to sweep the surrounding area of the tomb and transplanted three pine trees with his own hands. In the evening, Ouyang Xuan told Uncle Xuan, mother and daughter and the guards about the past of killing the snow leopard family.

Ouyang Xuan did not follow the route of the year, but rerouted to Swan Lake, where there is a concern of Ouyang Xuan, and now the tomb of the Nanwang couple is according to Ouyang Xuan's instructions, and Nie Sheng is re-expanded and renovated according to the imperial ritual system according to the customs of Wusun. Ouyang Xuan stayed in front of the tomb for a whole day, King Nan had a special position in Ouyang Xuan's heart, if there was no King South, there would be no Ouyang Xuan today. In order to repay the favor, Ouyang Xuan was very kind to the southern queen and the Wusun people, both in terms of education and business investment than other regions, now there are not many Wusun herdsmen, most of them are engaged in commerce, industry and emerging farms. Today's western states because of Ouyang Xuan's war that year, only the four major ethnic groups of Qiuzi, Wusun, Yueshi and Dawan are left, plus Ouyang Xuan's education assimilation policy, these ethnic groups are also disappearing, after a hundred years of development, the pure bloodline of the Wusun people has disappeared, only Dawan still has a few herdsmen who still retain their bloodline, and the Yueshi and Qiuzi people have long disappeared. As for the other ethnic groups, with the exception of the Qiuzi and Yueshi who dissolved into ethnic integration, the rest were expelled from the Great Wall after the war. In order to ensure the stability of the western region, Ouyang Xuan gave a lot of preferential immigration policies, and the six western states have almost become the preferred places for retired soldiers to settle down. Now Buddhism after more than 100 years of development, is very prosperous here, and later generations of Buddhism is different, because there is no Confucian thinking to influence the belief here is the original Buddhism, the belief in the "suffering, concentration, extinction, Tao" four noble truths as the core of the primitive Buddhist thought, but with the development of society, and the imperial court restrictions on monks, there have been some changes in the doctrine, a little bit to the Mahayana Buddhist thinking transition. For the development of Buddhism, as long as it does not connect with Confucian thinking, Ouyang Xuan allows it to develop on its own.

A large-scale temple was also built on the shore of Swan Lake, all of them are Chinese architectural styles, and the tomb of the king of the south is a south and a north reflect each other, on the west side is the county seat of Yuanshan County, on the basis of the original Wusun ancient road, a highway that communicates the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains was built, almost a copy of the 217 National Highway in later generations, but there are more tunnels than in later generations, which are all thanks to the assistance of the Duliba people. Yuanshan County has become an important town on the northern route of this road, and it is also a place with excellent scenery. Ouyang Xuan didn't alarm the officials here, and after worshipping the King of the South, he directly turned to the Canyon of the South King Courtyard back then. This trip Ouyang Xuan traveled to almost every corner he had been to back then, and it also evoked a lot of memories for him, if it weren't for the fact that some secrets were involved, Ouyang Xuan really wanted to record all this. That valley was also bought by Ouyang Xuan, built a palace, here since the last earthquake collapsed after the hot springs disappeared, after the Duliba people will be the north side of the cave transformation, the use of geothermal heat and underground dark river to build an artificial hot spring river, so that here the four seasons warm like spring. Since Ouyang Gui came here, he has become extremely active, taking Buick Guli every day and running around the valley under the protection of the guards. Sometimes he doesn't come out for a day when he soaks in the hot springs, and Ouyang Xuan can't do anything about him.

I lived here for two months, until the autumn, I said goodbye to the Yulin Army guarding here, and took the uncle Xuan's mother and daughter who hadn't played enough to return to Dongyang Palace in a flying saucer, Ouyang Xuan was also a last resort, now Ouyang Dan is terminally ill, and he relies on the hail energy provided by Ouyang Xuan every day to maintain, and Ouyang Xuan has no choice but to change the names of Li Mu, Peng Fei, Ling Huzhang and others to the capital to preside over the government, and the Yulin Army is handed over to Xian Yushun and Huang Tingzhong to lead.

Time flies in a hurry, in the blink of an eye to 22 A.D., 141 years in China, the wheel of history has not changed in the slightest, and the powerful space-time potential energy has modified some of the historical time and space that has changed due to the arrival of Ouyang Xuan, Ouyang Dan was bedridden at the beginning of the year, fell into a coma, and died at the beginning of spring and Yangxin Palace, at the age of 86, Ouyang Xuan gave the name Emperor Wen, the temple name Gaozong, and the 24-year-old imperial grandson Ouyang Duo inherited the throne in Xia Valley
