Chapter 103: Change! Although there are thousands of people, I will go
"Ha, Xianglong is here."
"Greetings to the teacher."
"You're welcome, come, sit."
"Thank you, teacher."
Yang Mansion is located in the suburbs of Zhongjing, not far from the White Horse Temple, and everyone in Zhongjing knows who lives in Yang Mansion, that is, Yang Shen, a bachelor who was demoted more than ten years ago because of the establishment of the prince.
Yang Shen, a university scholar, was a scholar because of this incident, and even the Yang Party, which was unrivaled in the DPRK and China at that time, also collapsed, so there is a strange thing here, the general official Zhishi, and there is a sentence at the back, that is, to tell the old man to return to his hometown, you have to go back to your hometown.
However, Yang Shen still lives in Zhongjing, which is really incomprehensible. Yang Shen was originally the son of Bazhou, the Yang family of the Bazhou family, the Yang family not only had a Yang Shen, but he also had a cousin who married a side by side king.
To say that this Yang family is also really powerful, on the ground of Daqi, calling for wind and rain, quite remarkable.
But on this day, what did Tang Xianglong do when he came to his teacher?
Anyway, this teacher ...... Could it be that Tang Xianglong is also a Yang party?
"Xianglong, what you gave me before, I read it, okay! It's really good! It's just that I don't know if Your Majesty has the courage to do it. ”
"Teacher, the student thinks this is an opportunity." Tang Xianglong said his thoughts one by one, "At present, the war in the north is coming to an end, on the surface, I have won a complete victory, and even the Beidi, who destroyed the Khitan, did not dare to attack the south, but anyone with a discerning eye can see it clearly." The palace marshal is dead, and the Wu family army is stubborn and sharp. This is that the Wu family has won, and His Majesty has lost. What does the teacher think? ”
"That's right! Hahaha......" When Yang Shen heard this, he laughed.
At this time, Yang Shen is also old, his hair is white, and he is not as old as Wang Lai, but if the two stand together, they will definitely feel that he is older.
I'm afraid it's because I use my brain to figure things out all day long that people get old faster......
Tang Xianglong continued, "If this is the case, then Your Majesty can't lose again." The Wu family has seized the Hetao, thousands of miles of fertile fields, and its strength has doubled, so His Majesty must find another way to fight against it. The thing written by the students is a good method, and the students think that if it can be formed, it will definitely change the atmosphere of the Great Qi River. ”
Yang Shen smiled after hearing this: "I have this ambition in vain, and I am happy for the teacher." But the teacher also has to say one thing, that is, through the ages, most of the people who presided over the change of the law will not die well, can I have the heart to die? ”
Tang Xianglong didn't say much, just stood up and bowed, "The sage said, although there are thousands of people, I will go." ”
"Good! Good! Good! Yang Shen said three good words in a row, and then made a move, "Come on, get the wine!" I'm going to get drunk with Xianglong! ”
"Students sacrifice their lives to accompany teachers!"
"Hahaha......"
On this day, the old and the young drank together, the book business was in a mood, and the wine was hot.
On the second day, a letter arrived at Zhao Qianyuan's desk.
“…… The tax on Ding will be abolished, and only the tax on acres of land will be levied, which can be called apportionment into mu ......"
Zhao Qianyuan saw that this excerpt was played by Tang Xianglong, a scholar of the current cabinet and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and he was naturally quite attentive, but after seeing this, his eyebrows and eyes moved, and he was obviously shocked by the things in the fold.
Spread into acres, spread into acres, spread into acres, it is easy to say, but how difficult is it to do?
But if that's the case, then ...... Doesn't Wu Jiajun have no advantage?
I think that back then, when I was in danger, I had no choice but to agree to so many conditions, so that Brother Li could let go of his hands and feet when recruiting troops, and the soldiers of the Wu family army no longer needed to plow the fields, as long as they trained diligently all day long, and then they had the invincible Wu family army.
In other words, if this method of spreading the land into acres is implemented, then the advantage of the Wu family army will be gone. Zhao Qianyuan didn't know the situation of Wu Jiajun at this time, and it was difficult to recruit troops, especially in Liaodong.
After this method comes out, it will not be so attractive to go to the Wu family army as a soldier again.
So...... The Liaodong defense line can be justifiably sent to the forbidden army, and Wu Jingting, the king of Yan, can't say anything, even the king of Liang or his brother, who also can't say anything.
However, there are also several shortcomings, one of which is that Liangxi Road and Liangdong Road are afraid that there will be fewer people, you know, these two places are the northern defense line, although the Khitan State has been defeated, and the later Beidi is temporarily unable to go south.
But this is all temporary, if the number of Dingkou in these two places is greatly reduced, then the defense line is not in danger?
This is one thing, and the other is that this method moves taxes.
How can Zhao Qianyuan not know the importance of taxes?
This current saint, he wanted to change the tax law for a long time, but this thing is not very easy to move.
The current world is peaceful and prosperous on the surface, singing and dancing, but behind the scenes, it is almost the same as the previous dynasties.
Daqi is no different from the previous dynasties, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, and taxes are mostly obtained from farmers, but now, they have been peaceful for decades, and many bad things have happened.
It is best for the cultivator to have his own land, but at present, many cultivators do not have land, and that field belongs to others, and some large households have thousands of acres of land, while others do not even have a penny.
How much tax can people who don't even have land pay?
But everyone is the same, so naturally there is unfairness.
The taxes paid by the large households are about the same as those paid by the poor households, who can afford this? How do you live?
Zhao Qianyuan is not deaf or blind about these things, he knows that if he does not pay taxes according to the head, but only according to the acres of land, then this injustice can indeed be improved, and many large households can be less arrogant.
But......
Where is this method so easy to do!
Those big families, what kind of virtue are they, why hasn't Zhao Qianyuan seen it?
Back then, the empire was in turmoil, how much did he, the prince, suffer?
Don't talk about yourself, it's your father, the money is empty, and he wants to borrow some money, but his grandfather, that is, the queen's father at that time, didn't even pay money, saying that he only had a small business on weekdays, and the prince Zhao Qianyuan at that time saw that his grandfather was sincere and sincere, and he was moved.
But it wasn't until he ran out of Beijing that he realized that his grandfather was extravagant and appalling, and even the family specially raised a kind of thin horse, and he didn't do work such as warming the bed, just catching phlegm...... Take a bite of their cherry.
The end result?
The rebellious army entered Los Angeles, and my grandfather's family died without a corpse, hehehe......
Since then, Zhao Qianyuan has known what the human heart is, and he will never believe it again.
The richer the guys, the more they pick the door, you want to get some money out of their hands, it's like you want to rip their flesh, even if it's all money, they bury it in the ground, and don't even move it for the rest of their lives, no, then they are happy, even if they don't use it normally.
I remember when I read history, the last Tang Dynasty was like this, some big families obviously had silver money, piled up into a mountain, but they buried these things in the soil and never used them.
There was even a Tang Emperor who issued a decree that no one could store silver and copper at home, and only a part of the daily expenses could be used, and the rest was not allowed, otherwise he would be killed.
To put it bluntly, at this time, Daqi, in fact, this tax is a little uncollectible.
So what's the difference right now?
This is a good method, but it needs to be implemented......
"I said, that Tang Xianglong is Yang Shen's disciple, right?"
"Master, you have a good memory."
"Don't pat yourself on the back, then you say, do they all have a bit of a similar smell as a scholar?"
"Haha...... Master, the slave understands what you mean, Yang Shen was so stubborn back then, then his students, I'm afraid they won't be bad, and their temper must be the same as the teacher. ”
"Hahaha...... The best of you guy is here, you know your mind. ”
"That's right, if you want to talk about this excerpt, the slave doesn't know what to do, then you must have a claim."
"Naturally!"
Zhao Qianyuan chatted with Wei Fuli for a while, and today I saw these excerpts here, and the next day......
There was news that shocked all the courtiers.
The imperial court wants to change the tax law and implement the apportionment into the mu, and the person who presides over it is the current cabinet scholar, Tang Xianglong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!
"Oops, congratulations to Brother Xianglong!"
"Congratulations, Brother Xianglong presided over the change of the law this time, the merit is in the future, and the benefit is in the present generation."
"The heroes of Brother Xianglong have already been decided!"
The sound of flattery, after the next dynasty, simply resounded throughout the imperial city.
Tang Xianglong naturally understood in his heart that he was facing an extremely difficult situation, but he had already told his teacher that even if he was broken bones, he would change the way of the world.
These ministers also understand, so these congratulations are really backwords, waiting to see Tang Xianglong's jokes.
The changes in Nakakyo are really interesting, and there is one other person who is also very difficult......
Wen Heng, the Qintian supervisor is the supervisor, and it is his duty to observe the heavenly phenomena at night on weekdays, but there is a case now, which was personally ordered by the eunuch Wei Fuli, the eunuch of the celebrant of the celebrant seal, but how to talk about the celestial phenomena at the moment?
The purple microstar is obscure, but Sirius is getting brighter and brighter, this is a clear offense against the wolf, this thing...... Wen Heng felt that he still changed slightly, that is, Zi Weixing was as usual, and there was no other change.
I just want to be able to get past it, and I don't think about anything else, and besides, it seems that no one looks at this thing except myself, right?
I have to say that Wen Heng is still a smart guy, and he knows that if he wants to tell the truth, his old bones will probably be in the ground, and he thinks that he should live a few more years.
Everyone is pretending to be confused.
