In his previous life, the reason why the Hong Dynasty died so quickly was not only because of his mistakes in decision-making, but also because of the decline of the Hong Dynasty's national strength.

Although Kyoto is prosperous, there have been many disasters in various places over the years, and the national treasury is not sufficient, coupled with the exploitation of local officials, the money and food in the hands of the victims are simply not enough to feed and wear, which has led them to sell their fields and property and become slaves.

As a result, taxes shrank, and a vicious circle was formed, in which more and more slave peasants were fought, landlords were getting richer and richer, and the treasury was becoming more and more empty, and reform was imperative.

Ye Qiu drafted the main contents of land reform: first, to encourage the reclamation of wasteland, exempt taxes for the first three years, and halve taxes within five years; Second, the landlord shall not hold more than 10 hectares of land, and the tenant farmer shall not exceed 20 households; Thirdly, except for those who have migrated and cannot afford to be buried, the land shall not be bought or sold at will; Fourth, widows are encouraged to remarry, and female households are allowed to be set up, and female households are taxed on the same level as male households; Fifth, monks, Taoist priests, and nuns are taxed the same as peasant households.

At the same time, Ye Qiu also stipulated the Yongye Tian and Gong Ye Tian of the aristocratic bureaucracy, and the nobles with titles were from the prince to the princess, and the Yongye Tian was reduced from 100 hectares to 5 hectares, and the officials were handed down from 100 hectares to 5 hectares, and the officials were handed down from 60 hectares to 2 hectares by the Yongye Tian, and the Yongye Tian was not allowed to be bought and sold.

Ye Qiu only listed the outline, and the specific implementation details still needed to be discussed between Prime Minister Xiao Cheng and the people of the six departments, and the right to implement it was also handed over to Xiao Boran.

Xiao Boran received the holy decree and completely fell into a dilemma, the land reform is undoubtedly a huge impact on the aristocracy and bureaucracy, and he must be obstructed in operation, but if he doesn't do it, then he will lose trust in Ye Qiu, and this prime minister doesn't have to do it.

The aristocrats, bureaucrats, and landlords are all the targets of the impact, and the stipulation of the number of fields means that they must sell their land in a short period of time, but everyone is selling, and the number of people who buy them will naturally be fewer, and the price will not rise, so they will naturally resist the reform.

Furthermore, the Yongye Tian of nobles and officials is not allowed to be bought and sold, so the Yongye Tian after the decline of the title and the begging bones of the officials will naturally be nationalized, and who will be happy to shrink their own property?

Therefore, Xiao Boran is in trouble everywhere, and now he can neither retreat nor advance, but what he doesn't know is that land reform is only the beginning, and Ye Qiu's next plan is bureaucratic reform and commercial reform.

On the day of the Great Dynasty, the matter of land reform really caused an uproar, Ye Qiu boldly gave Xiao Boran and coerced officials a lot of rights this time, but he himself closed the palace door and taught the prince with peace of mind, except for the reforming officials, none of them were seen.

Li Yanlan has lived the most comfortable life since she got married during this time, the previous dynasty was turned upside down because of the land reform, and no one came to her Li family's stubble, although the emperor still only came to her palace on the fifteenth day of the first month, but because Xiao Guifei was confined and confined in the harem, no one in the harem made waves, as for the queen mother, she was taking care of the three princes one by one, and there was no time to suppress her, what made her happiest was that the relationship between the prince and the emperor was getting closer and closer.

The father and son have diligently gone to the martial arts field every day to practice the forging technique, and the long-term persistence has now seen the effect, Ye Huaijin has eaten a lot more recently, and his height is also soaring, and Ye Qiu's body has also changed from weak before to well-defined, and he has become more and more heroic.

The progress of land reform was slow, Ye Qiu and Xiao Boran dealt with the two most powerful people, although the court was turbulent, but the people's prestige for Ye Qiu reached the top, and almost every peasant was singing praises.

When the land reform entered a period of rapid development, Ye Qiu used the debts collected some time ago to develop the military on a large scale, the Xiongnu in the north were eyeing the tiger, and the Japanese in the south often robbed, and it was imperative to strengthen the army.

At the same time, Ye Qiu sent a secret letter to General Li Xiuli in the north.

The reason why the Xiongnu invaded south was because of the ambition of their leaders, and secondly, because there was little arable land in the north and the herdsmen were short of food.

Ye Qiu's secret letter was to suggest that Li Xiu dismantle them from within.

There was more than one tribe of the Xiongnu, and Li Xiu could choose a staff member who could speak well to talk with other leaders in secret, and exchange the grain and silk of the Rainbow Dynasty for the wool and horses of the other tribe, and at the same time, the tribal leaders who accepted the trade would be given the title and support of the Rainbow Dynasty.

In this way, the herders can live a warm and prosperous winter without being injured and bleeding, and the position of the chiefs is recognized, so why not worry about being swallowed by other tribes every day?

In the past, it was not that no courtiers put forward such an idea, but the emperors of the past dynasties were worried about the collusion between the warriors on the frontier and the Xiongnu, so they did not take action, but now, Ye Qiu gave Li Xiu this right, I believe that in a few years, after trade exchanges and entanglement of interests, the Xiongnu will be assimilated by them and have no desire to fight.

Now that they are at war, they are just going to live a prosperous life, and now that there is a more convenient way, why should they risk their lives to rob it?

When the holy decree reached the border pass, Li Xiu and his staff wept with joy, they saw hope in it, especially when the news of land reform reached the border pass, the border soldiers respected Ye Qiu even more.

Everything was difficult at the beginning, especially when it was dangerous to penetrate into the Xiongnu, but none of the warriors retreated, and since His Majesty had given them trust, they had to repay the results.

Land reform and border reform went hand in hand, and six years passed in a hurry, and the Hongchao Dynasty at this time had taken on a new look.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Xiao Guifei is unwell, please go over and take a look." The people from Ganquan Palace had actually been here for a long time, and Gonggong Shun was waiting on the side, but they waited until Ye Qiu stopped writing before he spoke.

As early as five years ago, when Prime Minister Xiao Cheng's reform was hindered, Ye Qiu found an excuse to release Xiao Rou, and also to let those people know that the Xiao family did not fall out of favor.

But after being locked up for nearly a year, Xiao Rou didn't learn to be obedient, there were three princes as an excuse before, but now the Empress Dowager Xiao is reluctant to let go, Xiao Rou has been using herself as a raft, either he is sick today, or he is in a bad mood tomorrow, so he has to go to see it to get better.

It is also because Xiao Boran has been busy with land reform in the past few years that Ye Qiu gave her some face.

But now that the land reform has been basically implemented, Xiao Boran's official authority is getting bigger and bigger, and he has made great contributions by himself, and he has become less and less concerned about the ministers and nobles.

Ye Qiu originally wanted to use the land reform to consume Xiao Boran's connections and reform the land, but those two things were done, but he misestimated the prestige that Xiao Boran had established from the reform.

He is considered a great hero, so it is not easy for him to be moved.
