Chapter 510: Restructuring of Party Members

What did Li Chen do? In fact, as I said before, change the land and return to the stream. Li Chen, who wrote "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info no longer put a few border towns and let those nomads be autonomous.

In the past, when Datang managed the policy of foreign nationalities, it was to demarcate a place, and you gave me activities here. Then choose the headman and let them manage themselves. Li Chen changed his previous ways.

Li Chen tried to co-opt these party members. Heads, there are still. However, in terms of governance, county officials were dispatched to govern. All people must be registered and divided into administrative areas in accordance with the local management system of Datang.

According to the records, there are five levels of grassroots organizations in Datang, neighbors, bao, villages (fangs), li and townships. Four families are the only neighbors, and one neighbor is long. The five neighbors are guaranteed, and the security is long. The five guarantees are inside, and there is the right. Li Zheng is a grassroots political manager. There are many responsibilities, such as checking household registration, collecting taxes, servitude, maintaining public order, and supervising agricultural production.

Between Li and Bao, there is a village, and the village is alone. More than 500 households have a workshop, and there is a square. Wuli is a township, and there is an elder or a father, who is responsible for education.

Why, the Tang Dynasty could not completely lose its grassroots organizational power after Anshi, at least it could still collect taxes. Why did the Ming Dynasty reach the later period, there would be a serious inequality between the rich and the poor, and ninety percent of the wealth was in the hands of one adult. But they didn't pay taxes at all, and then they paid taxes so heavily that they were all bet on the nine adults, and the court had nothing to do.

Why can't the commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty be collected at all? Those businessmen strike the market at every turn, and the court can't do anything about them.

Basically, the difference is that Zhu Chongba is very kind, and he is very naïve to think that the imperial power does not go to the countryside and does not want officials to disturb the people. As a result, the land was completely controlled by the scholars. They don't pay taxes, and you can't do anything with them yet.

In fact, the gentry of the Tang Dynasty also had some tax exemptions, as did the Song Dynasty. However, it is precisely because the grassroots rights are firmly grasped that the situation does not get out of control. In comparison, Liu Bang is really a heroic emperor, he doesn't understand, he doesn't command blindly, and he is not like someone, who thinks he is sorry. As a result, future generations will suffer.

Li Chen completely dismantled these party members. The party members were also divided into several tribes, and Li Chen completely broke them up. One is mixed, tribes from different places, mixed with each other. Secondly, to relocate, not to let them live in familiar places, to move to completely new places. They also had to mix with Han Chinese. Originally, some of them were going to move to Longxide rebel military families, but they were moved to this area to live with the party members.

A, B, and C, B and C and Han people live together and live in A. And so on for the rest. Then, there is also the establishment of officials to manage. In the past, the party had tribes, heads, and whatever. It's just that they can't do anything anymore, their own people are separated, and he has become to manage some Han people and some party members of his tribe.

It doesn't matter, they are great at serving as village leaders and fangzheng, and all the lieutenant chiefs are appointed by Han Chinese. There is also a county order, which is also Han Chinese. However, Li Chen gave them some rights.

In order to prevent someone from bullying the party and the people, both the village and the fang have the right to supervise, and if someone bullies the people, they can sue the county order. Regardless of the county order, he can even report the history of the assassination, no matter the history of the assassination, he can see it in the state.

Li Chen not only strictly implemented the Li Bao system, Li Chen imitated Wang Anshi in the Song Dynasty to change the law. Reform of the security system. First of all, it is necessary to implement the system of joint sitting, with neighbors as units, not to harbor or hide offenders, and to have the duty to report major crimes. Otherwise, one person will commit the most crimes, and the whole neighbor will be held accountable.

Second, implement the militia system. Wang Anshi had to protect the armor law and restore the militia. Each household has more than two dings and selects one person as a baoding, who is usually trained in martial arts and equipped with their own weapons, and their task is to patrol and defend the place in Bao. There is also a chief who teaches martial arts.

Li Chen also learned this system, anyway, these party members already have this kind of tradition. They did not pay taxes before, but they were required to pay military service, that is, when the court was recruited, they had to respond to the call, and they also brought their own weapons, horses, and a little food to serve.

Li Chen turned this system into a compulsory service system and a customized system. Even if they are not drafted, they are obligated to serve.

This puts a lot of burden on them. Because, since Li Chen organized the household and the people, regarded the party members as Han people, and mixed them, they also had to pay taxes, although they were exempted from hard labor, but they had more military service.

It's okay to do military service, but the last thing they can stand is that they also have to pay taxes. Although it is not important, many people can't accept it. This became the reason why Li Chen was worried. If it's just a few military rebellions, that's fine. As long as there is no catastrophe. These rebellions will soon be suppressed.

The problem is the invasion of nomads, and Li Chen fears that they will respond. The reason why Li Chen will do this is that he wants to assimilate all these foreign races. With the Han nationality as the main body, the new Tang Dynasty was established. For the sake of long-term peace and stability.

He wants to build a Tang Dynasty that is tolerant, can absorb a large number of foreign cultures, optimizes itself, and has a strong national assimilation power. Although it is said that there is no guarantee that the Tang Dynasty will last for thousands of years in the future, at least it will eliminate the situation of foreign nationalities ruling the Han people.

As long as all foreign nationalities, especially those in the north, are assimilated into Han Chinese, China will always continue to improve. A country where a minority dominates the majority is destined to be a coffee table. Ethnic minorities will only focus their energies on suppressing the resistance of the majority, preferring to sacrifice their interests and sacrificing the interests of the majority in order to consolidate themselves.

Therefore, it is necessary to treat everyone equally. It is not because they are ethnic minorities that there will be tax exemptions, and there will be extra points in the imperial examinations.

As for military service, Li Chen plans for the future, he wants to implement the national compulsory military system, and all adult men have the need to serve. Unless science and technology progress to the nuclear age, we will always fight for manpower in war. Although it does not mean that more people will win, but if there are fewer people, you will suffer.

Therefore, these places are only implemented one step ahead, and in the future, all people in the Tang Dynasty must serve in the military, including women. Defy? You can also pay the money. Pay for immunization. Li Chen is also poor and crazy.

Because, the full implementation of compulsory service, even if he plans to serve within a hundred miles from home, this expenditure is huge. Therefore, simply all equal, women also have to obey, and if they don't obey, they will pay money. The same goes for men.

However, women can get some preferential treatments, and those who marry as adults can not pay. Men serve at least half a year and receive some training. Of course, all of this is for adults. Minors do not need to be discharged, and they can be discharged from military service when they reach a certain age. This is a part of his future Datang defense system. We'll get to that later.

Let's go back to what Li Chen did to the party. Li Chen's new law does not only increase their burden. There are also a lot of reliefs. For example, after that, they will be at most 200 miles away from home. There will be no more cross-border operations. It is also to avoid being abused by others.

In case someone has bad intentions, recruit these trained soldiers and immediately organize a large army. That's a hassle. The reason why it was easy for those displaced people to rebel was easily pacified at the beginning was because they were all rabble. No matter how bad the officers and soldiers are, they have also received some training, and unity is strength.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, if it weren't for the continuous natural disasters, there would be Manchurian people who continued to enter the prison. Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others have long since died and can't die anymore. Which will give them a chance to grow in the city, and the more they fight, the stronger they become.

However, if compulsory service is imposed, it will be troublesome. If the Liukou at the end of the Ming Dynasty had been trained, maybe the Ming Dynasty would have perished a few years earlier, and the officers and soldiers would not have to wait until the later period, I am afraid that they would have been defeated in the early stage. This is also the reason why Li Chen implemented it here in the party.

In order to avoid the opposite, he played a sideshow, using the pretext that the party members had a tradition of military service and added military service to them. In fact, when Wang Anshi implemented the armor protection law, he encountered great opposition.

He must implement it, but he doesn't want to force the prime minister to agree. And he also needs experience, so he didn't reveal the real purpose, so he implemented it on the land of the party members. Without leaving home for more than 200 miles, it is a kind of constraint, not allowing people with intentions to directly raise troops to rebel under the pretext of training.

This restraining force is very strong, and a few like to run far away to serve in the army. Unless it was explained at the beginning like Li Chen did when he recruited the Shence Army, otherwise, he didn't have to be too far away from home, and he suddenly had to be taken to a distant place, and no one would be willing.

Exceptions are not absent, unless there is a major rebellion by security envoys and conscription is necessary, they will have the possibility of crossing the border, but there will be a bunch of regulations, which will be explained to the service in advance.

In addition to not being far from home, Li Chen has also done a lot of things. For example, there are elementary schools. It is still the Taoists who go first, preaching and educating the people at the same time. On the surface, he told the party members that he had a future after studying. Basically, the party members are very bought, under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible not to know about the imperial examination, and now giving their children a chance to turn over is also a kind of bribery.

In addition, Li Chen sent many new officials to persuade the agricultural judges. In view of the different situations of the party, the herding department has to send veterinarians to serve as agricultural judges, see doctors, and impart advanced animal husbandry knowledge. For example, teaching chicken raising techniques.

Chickens have a lot to offer. First of all, it grows fast, hatches in spring, and before winter, it can be killed, only need to keep part of the hen to hatch eggs, and there are a lot of them in spring. There is no need to worry about it, in case of a heavy snowstorm in winter, the sheep and cattle will all freeze to death in an instant.

The chickens don't have to worry about it, they will forage for food themselves, and they will also release it during the day, and the hens will take their chicks to forage for food. Eggs are nutritious. Chicken feathers can be used as raw materials for bows and arrows, and chicken manure can be used to fertilize the land.

Most importantly, chickens can also prevent locust plagues. The grassland locust plague is actually more serious than that of the Central Plains. Raising a large number of chickens can eat those locusts before they happen. Count it all in one fell swoop. In addition to chickens, he also has to raise cattle, sheep, horses, etc., and Li Chen taught the king of pasture, alfalfa, gave them seeds, and taught him how to take care of them. This crop is much more nutritious than traditional forage.

In addition to animal husbandry, Li Chen guided many places where they could farm and taught them advanced farming techniques. It has also set up a wide number of medical centers, medical workers and Chinese medicine shops so that they can receive treatment. There are many such discounts, and some areas in Datang may not be as well taken care of as they are.

For example, the extensive construction of irrigation ditches has not yet begun in many places in Datang. The place where the party members were the first to become popular. Many party members were hired to build ditches and immediately received a sum of income. Life immediately changed a lot.

Li Chen didn't have to put a burden on them, and he still took care of them a lot. But it takes time. Li Chen believed that as long as he was given a year or two, these measures would make the majority of party members dare to benefit, and he did not need to worry that they would follow in rebellion.

The timing was too coincidental, and Li Chen was worried that they would be instigated before they could enjoy the benefits. The party item that was originally stabilized may become a source of chaos again, and Chang'an will be very dangerous at that time.

Li Chen secretly scolded who placed these party members here, very close to Chang'an. Although it is not immediately under Chang'an, there are feudal towns in the middle to block it, but in case of defeat, Chang'an will immediately face a military disaster. He didn't want to be an emperor who lost the capital again.

He didn't even expect that a series of measures he had taken against the party members would be widely spread by people with good intentions on the grassland. If it's too good, it's bad. If so many benefits to the party are spread to the grassland, all that remains will be to cancel the original tribal leaders, directly send officials to govern, and raise taxes. Even in the future, they were not allowed to speak the language of their tribe, they could not speak Chinese, and they could not even buy things.

These rumors were widely spread. It's okay if it's just a rumor, but it's still the truth. The Tang soon lost control of the grasslands. Although the Tang Dynasty, since the Anshi, the control of the grassland has declined. However, a few border military towns had to work hard, and they still had a little influence on the grassland.

Like the Song Desert Governor's Mansion, although it has disappeared since Anshi. However, the Khitan people will still be canonized by the Tang Dynasty and become the Khitan State. After Anshi, the Tang Dynasty declined, and the Khitans were once attached to the Uighurs, and later the Uighurs were also defeated by the Tang Dynasty, and the Khitans accepted the canonization of the Tang Dynasty.

There is also Shan Xi, who was also defeated by Zhang Zhongwu before. It was badly repaired. Now, with the death of Zhang Zhongwu and the rebellion in Youzhou, these foreign nationalities who once surrendered to the Tang Dynasty have all rebelled.

Maybe the rumors were just a catalyst. However, these are no longer the focus, the focus is on how to deal with it.

It looks like I'm borrowing money again. Li Chen consulted with several prime ministers, and may need to borrow money again. Although it seems that this year's tax revenue may be the same as last year, it is facing a big war. Second, it seems that the tax revenue is flat, but it is actually reduced.

Because of the Tang Dynasty's two tax laws, it is said to collect coins. In fact, it is also levied in kind. However, because Li Chen minted and printed a large number of coins, the money shortage decreased, and because of the relationship between Changping and Side, the people could sell grain at a more fair price during the tax season, and their willingness to pay money increased. Therefore, it seems that the tax is flat, but in fact the money remains the same and the kind decreases.

However, in fact, there is still a need for food, especially food, so it is still necessary to borrow money. Other than that, I'm afraid the new army is going to attack.
