Chapter 170: Reform and Trial Donghai Prefecture, Rumors (Ask for Subscription)
Fang Xuanling took some time to slowly explain the tax system they had reorganized, but he didn't go into too much detail, after all, there was too much content in it, he just talked about a framework and some of the more important points.
After listening to this, Xia Ren nodded slightly, this is indeed much more detailed than what I told them before, and many aspects have been considered.
Then looking at the hundred officials below, Xia Ren found that they were also pensive, not knowing what they were thinking.
After a while, Xia Ren coughed and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of this new tax system?"
The officials looked at each other, what did they think? I don't know? It seems that this tax system has nothing to do with them!
However, at this time, Fang Jiaxu, the head of the household department, felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't think of anything wrong, anyway, these families don't rely on taxes to make money.
The Great Xia Dynasty is very strict about taxes, and whoever dares to embezzle taxes will directly raid the family and exterminate the clan, so no family dares to think about taxes.
And at most, they hire some people who can't pay taxes at low prices and help them do some heavy work, after all, cheap labor!
So Fang Jiaxu couldn't think of any harm to them from this system for a while.
However, since it was proposed by Fang Xuanling, he instinctively thought about the family, didn't think so much about it first, and refused to talk about it.
"Your Majesty, Weichen still has objections to this, the tax system was established by me at the beginning of the Great Xia Dynasty, but now it has been changed rashly, is it a bit unreasonable?"
"Fang Jiaxu?"
Xia Ren frowned, today the two Shangshu jumped out, it seems that those families also felt the pressure and began to let these leaders move.
"Fang Aiqing is thinking a lot, my Great Xia Dynasty has never stopped reform and innovation, if there is a good system that can replace the old system, as long as it can promote the development of Great Xia, I believe that even if the previous emperors are alive, they will not refuse. ”
Fang Jiaxu was speechless for a while, he just routinely came out to object, since Xia Ren had a reason, then he couldn't think of any way to oppose it, after all, it didn't seem to have any impact on their family.
Thinking of this, Fang Jiaxu spoke: "Weichen is up to His Majesty's decision. ”
Xia Ren nodded, and then spoke: "Since this is the case, let's test it in Donghai Prefecture first, just like that imperial examination system, let's see the effect first." ”
After speaking, Xia Ren spoke again: "Because this matter is very important, I will send someone to be in charge of this matter, and no one can stop it, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
"Obey Your Majesty's commandment. ”
After these two things were said, Xia Ren's purpose today was achieved, and he glanced at the hundred officials, and found that no one wanted to start anything, so he said directly: "Retreat from the dynasty." ”
After saying that, he left.
All the way to the imperial study, sat for a while, Cao Zhengchun reported that Liu Bowen and others asked to see.
Xia Ren let them in, after saluting.
Liu Bowen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the passage of these two systems today believes that it can be a big blow to those families." ”
Xia Ren also smiled: "Indeed, but now the tax system, those families can't notice anything, but after we exert our strength, it is estimated that they will also be aware of it, and by that time, it is estimated that some of them will be busy." ”
After speaking, he continued: "I plan to let Du Ruhui take over these two things in Donghai Prefecture, what do you think?"
Fang Xuanling suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise, Lord Du has been staying in Haiyuan City now, it is really a bit condescending, if he is put in charge of the entire Donghai Prefecture, I believe His Majesty will not be disappointed." ”
"Haha, you're talking about ruining Du Ruhui's talent!"
"Don't dare, Your Majesty has misunderstood. ”
Then a few people talked about some trial problems and left.
Time flies, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Du Ruhui, who was far away in Haiyuan City, also received a holy decree from the imperial court at this time.
The imperial court ordered him to be the special envoy of Donghai Prefecture, and he was fully responsible for the trial implementation of the imperial examination system and taxation system in Donghai Prefecture.
Since Du Ruhui received Xia Ren's order, he did not delay for a moment, and after arranging for Shen Mulin to stay in Haiyuan City, he rushed to Donghai City overnight.
Donghai City is the state capital of Donghai Prefecture, located in the middle of Donghai Prefecture, and is also the largest and most prosperous city in Donghai Prefecture.
After coming to Donghai City, Du Ruhui didn't do much rest, and directly found the state pastor and began to discuss these things.
First of all, we must post this new system and send people to all the towns in Donghai Prefecture to publicize it, so that in case anyone does not understand it, they will also arrange for people to explain it in each town.
But now that there are no manpower, Du Ruhui has to start quickly cultivating manpower and cultivating their familiarity with the new system, after all, they still need to go to the entire Donghai Prefecture to explain.
Therefore, Du Ruhui did not delay for a moment, and this matter must be implemented as soon as possible.
Time passes slowly.
Those people in Donghai Prefecture who have a little family background basically know that the imperial court is going to reform Donghai Prefecture, and the holy decree has come down, and it is now in the preparation stage, and the content of the reform is not a secret, they can more or less know some of it.
In this way, these people knew, and then when they went out to drink, it began to spread, and slowly, most of the people in the entire Donghai Prefecture knew that the imperial court was going to reform Donghai Prefecture, but the specific reform content was not very clear, and they only knew that it had a great impact on them.
The people of Donghai Prefecture are slowly living in anxiety, expecting and worrying about the new system, and they don't know how it will affect them.
"Everyone listened, the county keeper posted the reform content at the gate of the city lord's mansion and all parts of the city, and also sent people to explain it in the south square of the city, everyone can listen to it if they have time!"
Several officials on horseback slowly walked around Tanglin City, shouting as they walked, attracting the attention of most of the people.
"What? The new system is coming down? I'm going to see it."
"Go together, go together. ”
"I don't know what the impact will be on us ordinary people, let's go and take a look. ”
The people were talking one after another, some went to find a place to post the announcement, and some walked to the south square of the city, anyway, they all wanted to know the specific content of the reform.
At this time, in the south square of the city, a scribe was giving a loud speech in the center of the square, talking about the content of the reform, and there were many huge stone slabs on the side, and the stone slabs were covered with paper with the contents of the reform.
"My lord, does the imperial court really want to hold the imperial examination in Donghai Prefecture? That is, anyone can participate in the imperial examination? Can anyone who passes the imperial examination enter the imperial court as an official?"
A poorly dressed scholar below asked aloud.
The scribe in charge of the explanation said with a smile: "Of course, these are true, the imperial examination system is a selection system specially created by His Majesty today, who understands countless poor disciples, who have studied hard for several years, but their talents cannot be brought into play, so that countless scholars in the world can show their ambitions." ”
When the scholar heard this, he immediately burst into tears, crying and shouting: "Brother Li! Why do you want to kill yourself! If you hold out for another two years, you will be able to wait until the current imperial examination system, and Your Majesty has not forgotten us today!"
After speaking, hug your head and cry!
There are also countless readers next to him, with tears in their eyes, crying and laughing at the same time.
The children of the poor family, who have been suppressed for countless years, can finally stand up in the open.
After a while, the mood of these readers finally stabilized.
The scribe began to explain the new tax system, after all, the imperial examination system was only for those who read, but the tax system was for all the people of Bactria.
When the scribe finished talking about the tax system, the people below were shocked, suspicious, worried, and expectant.
After a while, looking at the people looking down at him, the scribe smiled and said, "Don't worry, these tax systems are true, Your Majesty understands that the life of the people of Daxia is not easy, so this new tax system is issued." ”
"These systems are in effect from now on, and all taxes at the end of this year will be collected according to the new system, so you don't have to worry about not paying taxes anymore. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the people below suddenly exploded, their faces were full of excitement, dancing, jumping and jumping, and they couldn't release the excitement in their hearts at all.
After a while, the scribe finally appeased the people, and then spoke: "Now these two systems are only being tried in my Donghai Prefecture, and there are no changes in other places, so the people of Donghai Prefecture will be happy and can enjoy this kind of welfare in advance." ”
After speaking, he continued: "Let's take the tax system as an example, this is Dongminghou and a few of them together for you, at that time His Majesty came up with this new system, and wanted to choose a state for trial, but no one in other states spoke, only Dongminghou and a few of them asked His Majesty to try it out in Donghai Prefecture first, so there is a new system that everyone sees today." ”
After hearing this, the people shouted one after another: "Long live Your Majesty, Your Majesty is Shengming." ”
This kind of situation happens everywhere in Donghai Prefecture, and Du Ruhui has urgently trained countless people, just so that everyone in the entire Donghai Prefecture can understand the new system in a short time.
At this time, the county guard's mansion, the new county guard was Zhou Hong, who was almost framed by the previous county guard.
"It's all arranged, right?"
A young man below wearing a flying fish suit and holding an embroidered spring knife said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhou, don't worry, we do things in Jinyi and never make mistakes." ”
"That's good. ”
In the following days, in addition to discussing the new system, many people in the entire Tanglin City were talking about another matter.
"Hey, have you heard? This new tax system was originally fought hard for by several marquis masters in our Donghai Prefecture, so Your Majesty will try it out in my Donghai Prefecture first, otherwise it may not be our turn. ”
"It's impossible, a few of our Hou Masters in Donghai Prefecture have fought over other states?"
"Ahem. . . There was no fight, because the Hou Ye of other states did not fight, so it was won by our Donghai Prefecture. ”
"Why don't the rest of the Hou Ye fight?"
"Come closer, I'll tell you secretly, don't tell anyone!"
"That's for sure. ”
"It's not because the marquis of the other states is afraid that our people can afford to pay taxes, so they can't hire us at a low price, as long as we have the money to pay taxes, who will go to those families to work! Fools only go, it is because those marquis are afraid that their interests will be damaged, so they are unwilling to issue a new tax system to the imperial court. ”
"Wow, those families are so bad!"
"Of course, remember, don't say it. ”
"Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut. ”
......
"Hey, do you know why those Hou families in other states didn't try to try out a new tax system with them first?"
"I don't know. ”
"I've just heard it said, I'll tell you! Don't tell anyone, because ......."
A few days later, the news spread more and more throughout Donghai Prefecture, and gradually, most of the people knew why they were the only ones in Donghai Prefecture who had a new tax system.
And this kind of news also spread more and more as time went on, until it reached other states.
