In the fifteenth year of the Apocalypse, the Nine Border Military Town officially withdrew from the stage of history. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Liaodong Town announced its retrenchment, and was re-selected as a garbage recycling, and outstanding soldiers were incorporated by the Central Army.

The original military attache of Liaodong Town, not many of them escaped this liquidation. However, there are also a number of people who have been sent to military academies for further training during the examination, and these military attaches will also be integrated into the Central Army after graduating from military academies.

Along with the nine sides, it was swept into the trash can, as well as the previous family system. Zhu Youxiao issued an order to completely prohibit the recruitment of military generals, and violators were dismissed and strictly punished.

Zhu Youxiao's transformation of the Ming Dynasty's system was finally almost completed at this time.

The Nine Border Military Town has been abolished and replaced by the Central Army established by Zhu Youxiao himself. The Central Army is a new army with strict discipline and a supporting military guiding ideology. The scale is not small now, and after the incorporation of Liaodong Town, the army has expanded to 500,000.

The Central Army is composed of divisions and is not subordinate to each other. Therefore, there is no way for a division of the Central Army to rebel. The Western Regions Military Region is led by Sun Chuanting, and the possibility of rebellion is equal to zero. Moreover, the Western Regions are far enough away from Beijing, and Zhu Youxiao does not have to worry about military rebellion.

The internal rebellion was always vigilant by Zhu Youxiao, and he was afraid of this when he was the emperor. There is no need to worry much about military strength rubbish, but now that Zhu Youxiao has improved the combat effectiveness of the Central Army, he naturally has to be on guard, in case there is really a rebellion one day, there is really no regret medicine to take.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was very cautious about military movements, and the safety of the Beijing division was absolutely guaranteed.

What Zhu Youxiao will do next is to continue to improve his military technology, and as long as the logistics support can restrain the army, he basically does not have to worry too much about the problem of rebellion.

The raid is continuing, and the first to be liquidated are the descendants of Li Chengliang. The factory guards directly confiscated nearly five million taels of silver from the homes of Li Chengliang's sons, and also confiscated a large amount of family property. This old guy, before he died, was up and down in Liaodong and collected a lot of silver.

Other military attaches who were confiscated were also confiscated with a large amount of family property. Although it is not as terrifying as Li Chengliang, the number of military attaches who have been confiscated is quite a lot, adding up to more than 10 million taels of silver, and the assets are also quite a lot.

Although no hundreds of millions of profits were confiscated, this wave was still very profitable.

And Zhu Youxiao felt comfortable, those guys who made a fortune were finally punished and did not let them go unpunished.

The Central Army, which had expanded to 500,000, was distributed to the provinces by Zhu Youxiao.

Among them, 150,000 are deployed in the Western Regions Military Region, and are currently fighting against the nomads in the Western Regions, but the expansion has been suspended and is being tuntian in the Western Regions.

Of the remaining 350,000, 50,000 were deployed in the northeast, and 50,000 troops were left in the Beijing division to guard them. In the southern and northern regions of Mo, 50,000 central armies were also distributed. The remaining 200,000 central troops were concentrated in Jiangnan, Huguang and other places to escort the reform.

The reform in the Huguang region has yielded initial results, and this commercial grain producing area has also stabilized. Jiangnan has also stabilized, and under the guarantee of military strength, all forces that violently resist reform have been ruthlessly suppressed by the central army.

In those provinces that have completed the reform, the guards have been abolished and replaced by armed police forces, plus police officers who deal with daily law and order and cases, forming a new security system.

"Your Majesty, if Jiangnan completes the reform this year, the tax revenue will inevitably rise sharply, not to mention that it can increase the tax revenue by 500 million." Jiang Dejing said: "It can be seen that the southern provinces are actually heavy tax places. Now that the party school has admitted a large number of personnel, there is no shortage of officials to support the reform, and Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, and other provinces can be immediately included in the reform. By next year, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other provinces can also be included in the reform, and the entire territory of our Ming Dynasty will complete the reform. ”

"Okay, the next step is to reform these three provinces first." Zhu Youxiao agreed.

"Your Majesty is wise."

In the fifteenth year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao once again issued an order to include Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong in the reform. The reforms in Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong have won the support of a large number of people. Especially with the advancement of technology, a large number of factory owners have emerged.

These factory owners hope that Daming will be able to establish a unified internal market.

After Zhu Youxiao's previous reforms, Daming's internal market was actually in a state of division. In reformed areas, and in non-reformed areas, there are two tax systems, and even currencies are different.

If the reform of the whole territory of the Ming Dynasty is completed, it will be of great benefit to those factory owners in addition to the construction of railways. This means that their goods can be sold to markets all over the country.

At this time, after the northern provinces, plus Huguang and Jiangnan, completed the reform, the market in the reform area was already very huge.

A large number of privately-owned factory owners are now beginning to support the reform policies of the imperial court.

Of course, the imperial court is not soft when collecting taxes on these private enterprises, basically every link is taxed, but the market is large enough, and the dividends of new technologies have not ended, so it is still very profitable.

The 12th year of the Apocalypse, especially for the provinces of Fujian and Guangdong. The maritime trade in these two provinces is relatively developed, especially in Fujian, where smuggling is rampant.

After all these years of naval crackdowns, smuggling is not so rampant.

Although many maritime merchants are colluding with pirates, there are too many warships in the navy, and the tonnage of warships is getting bigger and bigger, and those pirates can only run away with their tails between their tails when they encounter the Royal Navy. Under the continuous encirclement and suppression of the navy, the bases of those pirates were uprooted one after another, and the momentum was suppressed.

Pirates don't just roam around the sea, they need bases for supplies and trade, so as long as their bases are swept away, it will be difficult for pirates to continue to develop. They have no place to supply and trade, and their power cannot grow.

However, there is still a lot of smuggling, and the focus of this reform in Fujian and Guangdong is to comprehensively build a customs system and crack down on coastal smuggling.

The customs of the Ming Dynasty will be established as a complete customs in this reform, and all coastal import and export ports on the mainland from south to north will have the existence of customs, and all import and export goods will pay import and export duties.

The reforms in Fujian and Guangdong also caused a backlash from some landlord forces, but they were soon suppressed by the central army.

Zhu Youxiao's reform plan really touched the interests of the landlords.

The landlords could no longer exploit the land by renting it to tenant farmers, but the landlord class was not completely resistant to the new system. Zhu Youxiao still left a way for them to go, as long as they became self-operated agricultural companies, the tax rate was still acceptable, so many landlords also accepted the reform calmly.

The industrial and commercial class also had a certain backlash against the reform, but the strongest Jiangnan financial oligarchy had been wiped out, and now there are not many people who have just jumped out without opening their eyes.

The reforms touched the privileged and tax-exempt classes the most, but those who dared to resist the reforms were suppressed. Now Zhu Youxiao's rule over the Ming Dynasty is not maintained by those privileged and tax-exempt classes, but through new interest groups to maintain the ruling pattern, so even if those privileged and tax-exempt classes resist the reform, they are powerless to return to heaven.

With the inclusion of Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi provinces in the reform, tax revenue rose sharply for a while.

It is not only the industrial and commercial tax that has seen a large increase, but also the agricultural tax. After the reform, the agricultural tax is only for those who own a certain amount of land. Moreover, in the fifteenth year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao set the tax exemption in the north at less than 50 mu, in the northeast Heilongjiang region, it was less than 300 mu, and in the southern provinces, it was generally less than 30 mu.

Different regions have different tax-free divisions according to their crop yields. The purpose is to allow small and medium-sized yeoman farmers to live a well-off standard of living without being bothered by taxes. Beyond this level, they start to pay agricultural tax, but the agricultural tax is not very high, only 5% at first, and then gradually increased to 10%, and the tax rate for agricultural companies is 10%.

As for the landlords' agricultural taxes, they were unrelenting. It doesn't matter if you can't pay it, take the land auction to make it up.

In the case of an agricultural company, there is a 25% profit tax in addition to the 10% output tax. If it is to be reflected, it must also be charged personal income tax. Of course, this personal income tax can still be avoided, but the 25% profit tax must be paid.

If it is a traditional landlord, under such a tax system, the more land you own, the higher the tax, even up to 30%, and the maximum tenant rent shall not exceed 10%, which is equivalent to losing money every year.

The new local governments established under the reform were busy collecting taxes during the autumn harvest, and this time was also the time when the central army was dispatched most frequently.

In some places, Haoqiang just clearly wrote the words 'no tax' on his face, thinking that if he didn't pay, what would happen to me? Some landlords were so powerful that they even beat up the public servants who collected taxes.

They thought that their power in the land would cover the sky with one hand.

As a result, as soon as the Central Army arrived, everything was a chicken. The landlords who beat up state officials were all confiscated of their property and exiled to the frontiers.

Zhu Youxiao is now cleaning up the thorns in the local area, and the policy is unrelenting.

In troubled times, Zhu Youxiao is focusing on adopting the Legalist set, supplemented by Confucianism, and both are used. Confucianism is prevention and control, and Legalism is chaos control.

As for Taoism, there is no way. It is completely impossible to make the people of today simple and natural, and it is not the time of antiquity.

The Taoist set was very good in ancient times when there were more real people. But now that people have become 'pseudo-people' in the eyes of Taoists, they naturally have to use Confucianism. But Confucianism in troubled times will not work, can reasoning convince those criminals?

To rectify those criminals, it is natural to use the law.

A prefecture, a county, a town, a township, and a level-by-level administrative system are now being established one after another in the reform provinces.

In the past, the landlords who were able to dominate the local government are mighty and powerful, but now under the new administrative system of the central government, the good days are gone forever.
