Chapter 617: Huaxia's Mandate of Heaven 500 votes plus more
A few days after the double monthly pass, Luo Luo grabbed 1,000 votes, thank you, Luo Luo will definitely add 20 more as agreed this month, and now complete 10 more, and there are 10 more, which must be completed before the end of the month
At this time, on the outskirts of Tanggu City, on the edge of the Haihe River, in a newly completed mansion, there were also three big men talking all night.
This mansion is not big or small, with five courtyards before and after, for ordinary people, it is already a big mansion, but for the rich and powerful, it is only ordinary.
There are also some regulations on the size of each level of family house in "Chen Li". The largest is naturally the Son of Heaven, followed by the feudal monarch, then the nobles and gentry at all levels, then the commoners, and finally the serfs. As for slaves, they were not entitled to private housing.
However, the housing overrun will not kill the head and go to jail, but will have to pay additional high property taxes. If a rich man has a lot of money and builds a mansion as big as Zhaoming Palace, then the taxes to be paid are also astronomical...... It's just that such local tyrants are really rare, even the top gentry and wealthy businessmen live in four-in-five mansions - of course, this is also taxable.
On the territory of Beiming, all non-state-owned houses and land must be taxed!
Of course, because of war or natural disasters, tax exemption can be granted, and some places will also set their own tax holidays for a certain period of time in order to encourage investment and development. Real estate tax is a local tax in Daming, and how to collect it has its own local council to consider.
However, the general principle of paying taxes on real estate will not change, even if it is Chen Dexing's private property (the palace provided by the state to the monarch is, of course, the state's property) or the Tiandao religion's religious property. In the two articles of "Chen Li", "Monarchs and Ministers" and "Shinong Industry and Commerce", the tax liability for each level. are clearly stipulated.
In the future Chinese world, there is no privileged class that can not pay taxes. Even kings are no exception!
Moreover, the king's private treasury could not go directly to the treasury. The tributes paid by the feudal lords and vassals were not included in the king's treasury, but were part of the imperial court's revenue. In the same way, the return gift is also paid by the court, and has nothing to do with the king. However, the value of the reward given by the upper-level monarch to the lower-level feudal lords and vassals cannot be higher than half of the value of the tribute. In this way, the obligations of the courtiers to the monarch can be reflected.
However, the economic interests of the kings and nobles were also fully secured. According to the level of their respective titles, there will be corresponding seniority, land and mansions. At the same time, "Chen Li" does not restrict kings and nobles from engaging in production and operation, and there is no saying that "they do not compete with the people for profit" (the Song Dynasty did not have this statement). It is only required to operate in accordance with the law. Pay taxes in accordance with the law.
Therefore, as a king, Chen Dexing can also invest and trade. However, Chen Dexing was busy with military and political affairs and had no energy to operate private property. All private property is handed over to Guo Fuer to be in charge of management.
And Guo Fuer's business is now investing in real estate - it is estimated that the high housing prices in Lin'an have impressed her too much - that is, in Yanjing, Mingdu, Daming, Tanggu, Zhoushan, Quanzhou, Temasek, Jianghua Island and other cities with rapid economic development but low land prices, to buy land to build houses for rent.
To this end, Guo Fuer also set up a Chen Ji firm to operate this matter. is quite a big queen mother, and discusses business matters with a group of shopkeepers all day long, which is probably the result of "etiquette collapse", right?
In "Chen Li", there is no concept of valuing agriculture and suppressing business. Moreover, by selling the status of the gentry, the status of the merchant was greatly improved in disguise.
And this Wujin mansion in Tanggu is also the property of Chen Ji Commercial Bank. It has just been completed and renovated. Now it is leased to the Beiming Foreign Affairs Department, which is specially used to entertain all the people who come to Yanjing to participate in the Heroes Conference.
The government also paid rent on the royal estates, and the royal estates were also subject to taxes. The distinction between public and private is so clear that probably only Chen Dexing, a reborn future person, can think of it, right?
But he is now a demigod king. As long as this concept is written into "Chen Li", others will only have the share of "keeping etiquette". Speaking of which, there are many conveniences in pretending to be a god, otherwise why would he "make rituals"? This is to revise the traditional thinking of China for thousands and hundreds of years. I don't know how many Chen Dexing's private goods are added to it......
The person who was arranged by the Foreign Affairs Department to live in this house today is Chen Dexing's father, Chen Huaiqing. Now preparations have begun for Chen Dexing's enthronement ceremony, and a "preparatory office" has also been set up. Led by Mo Yingniang, Ren Daoxing, Zhao Fu, Chen Huaiqing, and Zhang Xizai.
Among them, Mo Ying Niang and Ren Daoxing are mainly responsible for various ceremonies. Chen Ming's state religion is Heavenly Taoism, and the Confucian set of ceremonies cannot be used. Jang Hee-jae was in charge of the security of the military parade and the enthronement ceremony. Chen Huaiqing and Zhao Fu were responsible for receiving guests from all sides.
And Chen Huaiqing needs to be respected as an emperor's uncle and prince. The guest who greeted Tanggu in person was a small monk in a white monk's robe. A boy who is less than ten years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger head and a tiger brain, is cute, but his complexion is a little darker. The little monk's family name is Chen Mingyu, the eldest son of Chen Huang, the king of Annam, and the crown prince of Annam.
As mentioned above, the Chen Dynasty of Annam and Chen Dexing are distant relatives, both descendants of Yimen Chen of Jiangzhou, and the earlier ancestors were the Chen Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. With this level of kinship, Annan Chen Chao and Chen Ming have a relatively friendly attitude towards each other.
On the one hand, the Annam Chen Dynasty came from the usurpation of the throne and won the country unjustly. A policy of brutal repression was adopted against the Miao descendants of the Li Dynasty, who had previously ruled Annam. The internal bloody storm has been bloody for many years, and it has always been unstable. The Chen Dynasty greatly promoted Buddhism and let the young prince become a monk, in fact, it was also to use the power of Buddhism to appease domestic discontent.
And now, the relatives of the old Chen family have become the emperor of China, and they have also defeated the invincible Great Mongolia! Seven or eight years ago, the Great Mongol Kingdom invaded Annam and forced Annam to become a vassal to the Great Mongols.
Now Mongolia has been defeated by the relatives of the "Chinese Chen Dynasty", which is very good for the Annam Chen Dynasty to suppress domestic discontent. If anyone is not satisfied, Annan Chen Dynasty can go to China and ask relatives for help! Even the Mongols have been defeated, and you Annamite monkeys still dare not be convinced?
On the other hand, Tran's foreign policy is not to build a unified world empire. In the 13th century, this was impossible, and no central court could give orders to local governments on the other side of the world for years! Whether you can arrive or not depends on the character, and the bad character of the Qin Cha may go to sea to feed the fish.
Therefore, Chen Dexing's goal is to make the world Chinese: to dye yellow in blood and assimilate in thought. In today's Annam, the rulers are Han Chinese or relatives of Chen Dexing, and a considerable part of the people also identify themselves as Han Chinese (in fact, they also have Han Chinese ancestry), and they are culturally and ideologically Confucian and Han Buddhism, as well as the imperial examination system. It's basically a trumpet China.
Chen Dexing sent troops to overthrow the Chen Dynasty in Annam, and then changed his surname Chen to become the king, which didn't seem to make any sense.
As for the annexation of Annan to China, it does not mean much. Because Annam is not a strategic location, and there is no oil and water (the current country of Annam is far less large than Vietnam in later generations, and the land is mainly the Red River Plain) and has formed an independent interest group, and this interest group is quite powerful - the Annam Chen Dynasty, like Chen Ming, was a Chuxing dynasty, which was the peak of national power. Historically, the Annam Chen Dynasty also defeated the Mongol invasion!
Rather than struggling to gnaw on the hard bone of Annan, it is better to speed up the pace of development to North Mingzhou and Oceania.
Of course, the premise is that the Chen Dynasty of Annam accepts the whole of China: Tiandaoism is the state religion, the "Chen Li" is observed, and the Ming Dynasty is the suzerain.
However, the matter of Annan's entry into China cannot be discussed with Chen Huaiqing by a young monk who is less than ten years old, and Chen Yu is only a nominal envoy. The one who is really responsible is Chen Guojun, the king of Annan Ansheng who accompanied the little monk Chen Yu.
It was late at night, and the little monk Chen Yu sat in the hall, dozing off all the time. But Chen Huaiqing and Chen Guojun were still in good spirits and talked there.
"Xingdao virtuous nephew."
Chen Huaiqing glanced at Chen Guojun, the other party was in his thirties, wearing an ordinary brocade robe, boots and socks were also ordinary cloth shoes and socks, and his appearance was also extremely ordinary. If you meet him on the street, no one can tell that he is the prince of Annan or one of the top famous generals in Annan.
"Now that King Ming has established the way of heaven and the purpose of making "Chen Li", presumably Dao Xingxian's nephew also knows. It is to emulate the Zhou Dynasty and educate the ignorance of all nations with Chinese culture. And the Annan Chen family is my Yimen Chen family, just like the concubines of the Zhou Dynasty back then. It is a matter of course that the Annan Chen clan takes the Ming Dynasty as its ancestry. As long as the Annan Chen family respects the way of heaven and guards the Chen ceremony, Zong Daming. Annan National Fortune, naturally with the protection of the Ming Dynasty, the Chen family, can be safe. ”
Chen Guojun picked up the teacup, took a shallow sip of the somewhat cold tea, and frowned: "Since ancient times, China has been respected by Confucianism, and Annan has also governed the country with Confucianism. This Heavenly Dao guards the ...... of "Chen Li"
Chen Huaiqing said with a smile: "Respecting the way of heaven is just taking the way of heaven as the state religion, and the king enters the way, that's all." Annan Chen's wants to promote Confucianism and carry out imperial examinations, and the Ming Dynasty will not ask...... After all, Confucianism is also Chinese. As for "Chen Li", it is about the father and son of the monarch and the minister, and the upper and lower are humble and humble, which is the source of "Zhou Li". Moreover, the Annan Chen clan is my ancestor of the Ming Chen clan, and the substitution of "Chen Li" for "Zhou Li" does not improve the status of the Annan Chen family? ”
Chen Guojun said calmly: "What if...... I mean, what if the Annan Chen clan doesn't respect the way of heaven and doesn't abide by the "Chen Li"? ”
Chen Huaiqing said: "That's ...... It's not the states of China! The Ming Dynasty would not recognize Annam as a vassal state. He paused and accentuated his tone, "It is the destiny of King Ming and the destiny of China to make all the nations of the world enter my China!" Destiny, those who follow it prosper, and those who go against it perish! Dao Xingxian's nephew, Annan Chen will not disobey the mandate of heaven, right? ”
Chen Guojun's attitude is still calm, "Naturally not." He smiled and pointed to the little monk who was dozing off, "It's better to start with me, the prince of Annan, and I." (To be continued......)
