Since Emperor Jiazi, the Great Xia Dynasty has been established for more than a thousand years, and today's Emperor Renchen is the twenty-ninth generation of the Son of Heaven of the Great Xia Dynasty.

For thousands of years, the Great Xia Dynasty has experienced many ups and downs, and many policies have gradually failed to meet the requirements of the times. But behind every policy, there are powerful interest groups, from officials to civilians, and I don't know how many people rely on this to eat.

It's easier said than done!

For example, the reform of the enslavement law mentioned by Cangyuan and Ren Changsheng is like this.

The giver is taxed, and the servant is forced to be served. These two are collectively referred to the various taxes levied by the imperial court and the various types of forced labor levied.

At the beginning of the establishment of Great Xia, Emperor Jiazi put forward the policy of one place and one servitude based on the principle of "one party, one land, one land, one person".

Specifically, the taxation and conscription of each region should be decided according to the actual situation of the region. Moreover, no matter whether the region is prosperous or backward, except for the unified tax of the state, there is no need to bear more additional burdens, and the good or bad are their own.

This practice effectively mobilized the enthusiasm of the local authorities and promoted large-scale economic growth in the whole country in the early years of the Great Summer. However, after all, there is a gap in the innate conditions of various places, and with the passage of time, those areas that can prosper have prospered, while areas with scarce resources or inconvenient transportation have really not been able to develop, and have gradually become poor mountains and rivers.

Needless to say, the prosperous areas are naturally poor, and those poor mountains and bad waters have become wounds on the giant of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Because of their poverty, people in these places often don't care much about the means when they do things, and even don't care about harming nature and reason as long as they can get benefits—when a person has to do his best just to survive, it is often difficult to balance benevolence, righteousness and morality.

Not only that, Daxia has developed for many years, and the overall tax level has also increased a lot. According to the statistics of the household department, compared with the era of Dijiazi, today's basic tax requirements have been increased by about two times.

The triple tax of the Emperor Jiazi era was not worth mentioning at all for the rich and prosperous areas, but it was an extremely heavy burden for those poor areas. Although the imperial court often cut local taxes, there were often cases of officials forcing the people to rebel.

Not only that, but because the imperial court would cut taxes from time to time in poor areas, many less impoverished places also tried to make themselves poor in order to pay less taxes.

After all, the poor are the people poor, but the tax is paid by the big households.

"Then what are they going to do?" Listening to the old ancestor's relay, Pan Long asked curiously.

"Di Luonan's plan is to re-establish the tax rate of the world. Ren Changsheng said, "What taxes should a place pay, and how much should each tax be paid? These must be re-examined. ”

"It seems like it's okay too. ”

"Logically, of course. But in practice...... The level of the tax rate is closely related to the interests of the local people, the powerful and even the officials, and all those who benefit from it will not be willing to re-examine the tax rate. Ren Changsheng sighed, "And listening to what Cang Yuan said, this is even one of Di Luonan's law change plans that is relatively relaxed and not easy to offend people." ”

"Does he have any other plans to change his law?"

"According to Cangyuan, there are, and there are a lot. ”

Pan Long was a little speechless, he didn't expect Di Luonan's heart to be so big.

Since ancient times, it has been the hardest thing to do. It is difficult to consider the ideas of all sides, take into account the interests of all sides, suppress the voices of all sides, and accomplish a big thing.

Di Luonan saw that the Great Xia Dynasty was full of problems, and wanted to change the law and innovate to solve the problem and improve the situation, which was naturally a good thing. But the things he is seeking are so big that even if it is only a "re-surveying tax rate", he doesn't know if he can do it, let alone anything else.

Coming up with many plans in one go only leads to distraction and failure in the end!

He couldn't help but say: "The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, the road must be walked step by step, and things must be done little by little." Di Luonan is only in his twenties, and he has time to slowly change the various problems of the Great Xia Dynasty, why is he in such a hurry?"

Ren Changsheng shook his head: "I haven't asked this question." If you are interested, you can go and meet Cangyuan and talk to him. ”

Pan Long thought about it, but still dispelled this thought.

Di Luonan is a member of the emperor family, Cang Yuan is also a close confidant of the emperor family, he has that fateful secret, and it is almost the same to keep a distance from them, so he comes to the door by himself?

Don't know how to write the word "death"!

Thinking of this, he sighed and said, "The affairs of the emperor's family, naturally, the emperor's family should take care of it, and it is not my turn to stretch out my hand." ”

"The only thing in the world is whether you can manage it, and there is no question of whether you should or shouldn't manage it. Ren Changsheng first criticized it in a righteous and stern manner, but then changed his words and said, "It's not ...... The affairs of the imperial family, we really don't need to make do with it. Don't let them get the benefit in the end, we take responsibility and scapegoat them. ”

Pan Long was stunned for a moment and asked, "As for it?"

"Who knows, but isn't that what the imperial court usually does?" Ren Changsheng sneered, "Employing people forward, not backward." When you are asked to do something, you are the cadre of the country, and everyone is counting on you; when the thing is done, the responsibility of Sesame Point is yours, and the benefits are someone else's......"

His face was full of indignation, and Pan Long guessed that he probably had a lesson when he was young.

It's not hard to imagine this, with Ren Changsheng's "nosy" temper, as long as he thinks it's right, he will most likely rise to the challenge. And as a disciple of the Qionglai Sect, he is naturally qualified to take responsibility.

It's just that when it's done, there's nothing else to do.

Pan Long even doubted that he would be unloaded and killed by the donkey after the thing was done, and finally drew his sword in anger and bled into a river, just like Wu Song's blood splashed on the Mandarin Duck Tower, killing him inside and out?

Looking at Ren Changsheng's angry look, maybe not. Maybe he just got disheartened and walked away.

Ren Changsheng was furious, then sobered up, and he blushed a little, explaining: "In short, people like Di Luonan, you have to keep your distance from him. Even if he finds out in the future that his approach is really beneficial to the country and the people, beating the side drum and helping a little, even if he tries his best, don't get involved. ”

Pan Long nodded and asked again, "So, are you going to see Di Luonan?"

Ren Changsheng immediately shook his head: "Of course not!" He wants to see me officially, just to use my reputation to suppress Yizhou Haoqiang, so that Yizhou can first promote the resurvey and taxation. But the relationship between our Yizhou court and the local heroes is very poor, and everyone has already joined hands to set the imperial court in the air, so what's the point of re-surveying and paying taxes?"

"Then what kind of changes do you think Yizhou needs?"

Ren Changsheng smiled and didn't say anything, just shook his head.

A few days later, Cangyuan went up to Suitao Mountain again, and after getting Ren Changsheng's refusal reply, this handsome man who was too clean did not have the slightest anger or dissatisfaction, and did not even show regret, and left very calmly.

From beginning to end, Pan Long also didn't see the legendary "Seven Killing Stars" Di Luonan.
