Chapter 56 Spread into acres

The day after the defeat of the Lu clan coalition army in Hebei, Gaoyang County came with the good news of Li Chengyi's brothers. &*．． Fastest Update**

Originally, the time when they pacified Gaoyang County was before Li Benlei, but because he ran away from a Gao Kaidao, Li Chengzhi refused to upload the good news, and he led his troops and horses to pursue Gao Kaidao, and he chased him in the heavy snow for two days before he finally captured Gao Kaidao.

By the time their good news reached Beijing, it was already one day later than Li Benlei's good news.

Lu Che, the king of Yuyang Yan, was defeated by 200,000 allied troops, and Lu Che killed himself.

The Mahayana Emperor of the Buddha Kingdom of Gaoyang County, Gao Tansheng, was defeated in Xianyu City, and after only three days as emperor, he was beheaded with his nun, Empress Jing Xuan, and went to the future world he preached.

After the death of King Yan, Emperor Mahayana, and King Qi, the news of the defeat and death of Zhao Wang Cui Xian, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, soon came to Hebei, and Gao Kui, the king of Bohai Wei, Li Jun, the king of Gaoyi of Zhao County, and Liu De, the king of the plain Liu family, were also defeated and captured by Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin.

Immediately after, under the joint attack of Li Jing's 50,000 army and Zhang Zhongjian's 50,000 naval fleet, Lu Wang Zhi, the head of the Langyu Wang family in Shandong, Xiao Yan, the king of Lanling in Lanling County, Pengcheng, and Zheng Jing, the king of Jinan in Qi County, all evaporated in an instant like snow water encountering molten iron.

One after another big families that have stood proudly for hundreds of years, and one after another the patriarchs of big families whose prestige has spread all over the world, only after they became self-reliant kings, they were all secretly assembled and deployed by the imperial court and defeated them one by one.

Either the soldiers were defeated and killed themselves, or they were killed in battle, or they were defeated by prisoners of war.

Zhuojun Lu, Yuyang Lu, Hejian Lu, Gaoyang Cui, Qinghe Cui, Shanggu Cui, Zhaojun Li, Bohai Gao, Pingyuan Liu, Langya Wang, Qijun Zheng, Pengcheng Lanling Xiao.

These have been passed down for hundreds of years, and the local soil emperors with tens of millions of clans have fallen one by one.

More vassals of the powerful family behind them fell, and Hebei, Shandong, and Jianghuai changed the sky again. Blood was being shed everywhere, countless heads were cut off, and even the clouds on the horizon were as bright as blood.

Fortified bunkers were destroyed, powerful clans were dismantled, and more hidden populations were re-registered.

At the same time, Buddhism and Taoism in Hebei, Shandong, Huaibei and other places also suffered an unprecedented blow. &*．． The fastest update** The property of the temple was measured and registered, and the hidden tenant farmers in the temple were also checked and registered. The floating wealth in the temple was also confiscated as a tax owed by history, and a large number of monks and nuns were ordered to become monks and return to the world. Even many temples in the counties were demolished and removed.

Immediately after the imperial decree was issued, countless notices were posted from Zhuojun to Jiangdu. On this notice, the imperial court announced that an order was issued to divide the family, and all the people of the clan, those who have more than two generations, must be separated. In addition, a ban on slavery was issued, slavery was abolished, and it was changed to a mercenary system, and all the people of the Great Sui were no longer allowed to keep and buy slaves, and all the servants and servants in the family were also changed to a mercenary system. He also ordered the construction of schools in various places, and the imperial examination was held every three years, and talents were selected as officials. At the same time, the tax law was changed, and the land tax was changed to the system of apportionment into the mu, and all kinds of taxes such as the land tax and the ding tax were merged into the same as the land tax and the ding tax, and the system of apportionment into the mu was implemented. If there is more land, there will be more tax to pay, and if there is less land, there will be less tax to pay, and the annual tax will be levied in spring and autumn.

The court decrees are dazzling.

A decree on the division of the family is a decree that breaks the common residence of clans and clans and implements the system of large clans. The purpose of this decree is very simple, to destroy the cohesion of the clans, to break up the strength of the clans, and to prevent the clans from gathering together. And after opening an account, the number of households can be increased, household registration statistics can be enhanced, and concealment and tax evasion can be reduced. If this decree had been placed in the past, it would definitely have aroused the opposition of the powerful people of the family. However, now that the Hebei clan has just been wiped out, no one dares to oppose this decree, and no one cares to oppose this decree. …,

The ban on slavery also has little impact on ordinary people, and is even beneficial. In previous years, when natural disasters were encountered, the bankrupt people often ended up selling themselves into slavery and entering the manors of those powerful people to work. Now that the ban on slavery has been issued, it can alleviate some of this situation.

And the announcement of the establishment of the school and the re-holding of the imperial examination made many scholars shine. The Great Sui Dynasty pioneered the imperial examination system, revised the recommendation system, and added a new way of selecting talents as officials through the imperial examination. As soon as this imperial examination system came out, it broke the monopoly of the aristocratic families in the past, and gave ordinary literati a chance to leap into the dragon gate and change their own destiny.

However, due to turmoil, the imperial examination of the Great Sui Dynasty has been stopped for a long time and no more examinations have been held.

Since the seven emperors in the world have been released, no force has mentioned this imperial examination again. But I didn't expect that now the Hebei Imperial Court is the first to reopen the imperial examination, which not only makes those scholars see hope one by one. Even those powerful children of the world who escaped this time were also moved when they got the news. Now it is impossible for them to rely on the status of the clan to be recommended as officials as before. But if you can pass the imperial examination of the imperial court. But it's a sunny avenue.

One by one, the notices made the entire county under the rule of the Hebei imperial court boil, and this series of major changes surprised countless people.

However, what really makes countless people concerned about the side is the last one of the apportionment into the mu system, the first few are basically going to those clans, but they are just beating the water dogs, and in one fell swoop they have no chance to sit on the throne again, and fundamentally dismantle and weaken their policies.

But the latter one is not just to deal with the original local clan.

The system of apportionment into the mu seems simple, but in fact, it has completely changed the tax system since the pre-Qin period was recorded. To put it simply, although there have been many changes in the previous tax system, there is a core one, that is, it is based on D and pays taxes according to D. Regardless of the amount of land, taxes are levied only on the basis of tithes.

Ding is the basis of taxation since ancient and modern times, men and women are born yellow, four years old is young, sixteen is middle, twenty-one is Ding, and sixty is old. Twenty-one to sixty-year-olds are the main ding, middle-aged men are secondary, and the old and young yellow are exempt from military service. All taxes are calculated according to this tithing, the main ding is one share, and the secondary ding is half of the ding.

Such a system is the most unfair to ordinary people, because the people have less and less land, but the taxes they have to pay never change, they are all taxed according to the population. But for those landlords and aristocrats, such a system is the most beneficial to them, because they have a lot of land, and a family of a few dozen people owns thousands of acres of land, and the actual proportion of the taxes to be paid is not much.

Now, however, the new system of apportionment into the mu has changed the tax system that has existed for thousands of years. Taxation is no longer based on ding, but on the field. The more land they have, the more they need to pay the tax, and correspondingly, if the people have less land, they will pay less, and if they don't have land, they will not have to pay the tax. Moreover, in this new cutting-edge, all miscellaneous taxes and contributions are included in Ding Rui, so in addition to the need for the people to bear their own corresponding acres of land tax, that is, grain tax, the actual tax is also converted into the corresponding Ding tax according to the number of acres.

And those landlords and nobles, no matter how many or small they are, will also levy a ding tax other than the field tax according to the number of acres of their land, which is a huge ding tax, and the miscellaneous taxes borne by the people in the past are basically all passed on to their heads.

Like a heavy hammer, it not only hit the landlords of the clan, but also hit them fiercely again. This hammer also hit all the civil and military ministers of the imperial court, nobles and other people with a lot of land. …,

This is a large-scale and large-scale new deal of destruction, and it was also Chen Kefu who thought about it for a long time and thought about it again and again, and finally chose to announce it at this time. At this time, the powerful local forces of the powerful clan have collapsed, and they can no longer oppose them, knowing that it is against them.

The only thing that may be opposed is the internal civil and martial arts heroes, but in order to restrain the emergence of those powerful family giants again in the future, Chen Kefu still sacrificed this killer feature. Spreading the land into the mu is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle and fundamentally restrain their merger. It is also to reduce the burden of those people, and to prevent those landless people from rebelling because they cannot afford to pay taxes.

However, without the support of the internal civil and military personnel, no matter how good the policy is, it will not be possible to implement it.

Chen Kefu knows this very well.

In order to gain the support of the civil and military personnel within the imperial court, he considered it for a long time and issued a new edict in exchange for the compromise and cooperation of the internal forces.

At the Yuanhui Dynasty Meeting on New Year's Day, Chen Kefu did not wait for those ministers to speak against the new tax system, and took the lead in taking out an edict and handing it to the proclamator.

"Emperor Decree of the Great Sui, Fengtian Carrier, Emperor Edict: In order to commend the meritorious ministers of the imperial court, the imperial court specially reformulated the knighthood system. All knights are of the twelfth rank and eighteenth rank. The first class is the king, and the non-prince shall not be sealed, and the first product shall be clearly determined, and the food shall be sealed and the ten thousand households shall be sealed, and the Yongye field shall be granted ten thousand acres. The second is the heir of the king, and the son of the king is demoted to the title of the title, and it is clearly determined that from the first product, 5,000 households will be sealed, and 5,000 acres of Yongye land will be awarded. The second rank is the king of the county, the son of the crown prince is the king of the county, and the son of the heir king is demoted to the king of the county. It is clearly determined that from one product, 5,000 households in the food area and 5,000 acres of Yongye field. All princes, non-royal families are not allowed to be crowned, and courtiers of the opposite sex are not allowed to be crowned kings"

Above the Great Yuan Meeting, there was no such thing as the content of today's deliberations arranged by the palace supervisor. However, as soon as the announcer's words came out, it still aroused the hearts of countless ministers. Knighthood has always been the ultimate goal that most ministers strive for.
