"Clearly arranged?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled, and then glanced at the county government vigilantly.

To tell the truth, the attitude of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to look at hundreds of officials now is probably similar to that of looking at thieves.

It's all a bunch of thieves.

So the Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Okay, I'm tired, let's retreat." ”

He felt that it was time to have a good chat with this Shao Ning, so the others should not continue to be an eyesore in front of him!

The new policy of sealing the hill has been fruitful.

But it is clear that it is also facing a difficult situation.

Can such an approach be sustainable?

And for how long?

The ministers were about to listen to the second half, but who expected His Majesty to drive people away directly unceremoniously, so they showed a speechless look.

But no matter how reluctant I was, I had to say goodbye one after another.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse sat down, his eyes looking straight at Guan Shaoning.

Now in this yali, only the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youzhen and Zhang Jingyi, as well as Guan Shaoning.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse had a very serious expression at this time, and said, "You explain it clearly? Seemingly...... You've got a future, don't you? ”

Guan Shaoning nodded: "Exactly." The work that the minister has done these days is actually to mobilize all the peasant households to check the situation of the land and the hidden households. On the one hand, it is impossible to prevent it, and if it is really necessary to conduct a thorough investigation, how much manpower and material resources are needed? Then it was necessary to mobilize the tenant farmers and peasant households, and the countryside should be governed not by the gentry, but by the peasant cooperatives! ”

"Most of the members of the agricultural cooperatives are peasant households, and this land is their foundation, so they ...... When they heard that they were going to be investigated, they were often very active, and were very willing to expose the situation of the country gentry who concealed the land and the population, and imposed heavy taxes on the gentry, the essence of which was to prevent them from monopolizing and embezzling the land. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse did not interrupt him, but only listened quietly.

Guan Shaoning only paused, and then continued: "In the past, the gentry used to increase their wealth, one of which was to lend money, and the other was to annex land! And lending itself is actually dependent on the land, so the land issue is the most important thing at the moment! ”

"Your Majesty, think about it, a family, every day in the local area, they continue for more than ten generations, the only thing they do is to keep buying land! Over the past 200 years, their land has changed from 200 acres to 2,000 acres and then to 20,000 acres. The more land they had, the higher their status in the county, and they could be exempted from taxes on their land by virtue of their fame and other means. ”

"But what about the common people? They only need to suffer a famine, then they have to sell their land, and from then on they become landless tenants, who have to bear high rents and all kinds of exorbitant taxes! His Majesty has seen the situation of the political envoy in Henan, and the liukou is produced by the homeless, and how did the homeless people come about? Without him, it's just a loss of land. ”

If this continues, the only possibility is that the gentry's land will continue to increase, and the number of displaced people will increase. The imperial court couldn't collect the grain tax, but it had to increase the salary, and the more the people revolted, the more the people couldn't survive. If there is another natural disaster, can this Ming Dynasty still be permanent? ”

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he finally couldn't help but nod his head again and again: "That's the truth, this is also my confidant. ”

Zhu Youzhen listened very seriously this time, after a catastrophe of life and death, the so-called concept of relying on a gentleman to govern the world has collapsed, and Zhu Youzhen at this time is like a blank piece of paper, trying his best to absorb other knowledge.

At this time, Guan Shaoning said again: "But what if this land annexation is interrupted through taxation?" The reason why the price of land is getting higher and higher is because a large amount of land is in the hands of the gentry, and they will never sell it, and they rely on this land to obtain a lot of money. When they had money, they bought land, which kept pushing up the value of the land. And once the tiered tax system is adopted and the land is apportioned into the mu, then whoever owns more land will suffer a loss, and if only the family only has three or five acres of land, a house or a dozen acres of land, the person will bear the lightest tax. At this time, it is too late for everyone to sell land, are they still willing to buy land? There are many people who sell land, but those who buy land are waiting, which is also the reason why land prices have plummeted in Fengqiu County. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse bowed his head and asked, "What's the benefit of this?" ”

Guan Shaoning immediately replied: "There are two benefits, the first is to reassure people's hearts, the price of land has fallen, so that many people can get land cheaply. When the people's land reaches the upper limit of tax bearing, they are naturally reluctant to buy land, so that the land in a county is enough for more people to own. Your Majesty looks at the people who welcome Your Majesty into the city, which one is not sincere, and this is why, this is because the New Deal really benefits them, and makes them grateful to the New Deal. ”

"The second is a huge increase in tax revenue. When the ministers came here, nearly half of the land here was in the hands of dozens of gentry, large and small, who used various means to hide the population and avoid taxes. Your Majesty, think about it, they have all the best land and wealth, but the government can't collect their taxes, why is this? In fact, in essence, they are the heroes of the Han Dynasty, the gate valve of the Wei and Jin dynasties, can a county official help them? As for those petty officials who collect grain taxes, they are even more afraid of them like tigers, who dares to collect taxes on their heads? But now, in Fengqiu County, there are actually very few people who can own more than 500 acres of land, because the more land there is, the more it becomes the target of public criticism, and the gentry have to sell the land, if they don't sell it, they will go bankrupt in less than five years because of high taxes. ”

"But if they dare to resist taxes, the minister is not a vegetarian, the minister has a farm society, a brocade guard, a teaching team, and a county officer, they dare not disobey. Now Fengqiu County has formed a large number of people who own land, but everyone's land is maintained between three or five acres to one hundred acres, these peasant households, in fact, have no way to be called landlords, they are no longer like the gentry in the past, can affect the government, and naturally there is no way to make their land tax-free. ”

"In this way, the land that should be taxed has increased by more than half, and the grain received has naturally increased greatly."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse listened very carefully, and even his eyes lit up when he heard it, and he couldn't help but say at this time: "That's the truth. ”

Saying that, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said to Zhu Youzhen: "You see, tax collection is the foundation, if the government does not collect taxes, what will it do to govern the world?" ”

Zhu Youjian listened, nodded convincingly, and said, "The younger brother has been taught." ”

And Guan Shaoning continued at this time: "But...... Solving the land problem is only the first step. ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "The first step? ”

"Exactly." Guan Shao Ning said: "Your Majesty must have heard the complaints of the gentry and those officials and eunuchs!" To tell the truth, this first step was completed by brutal means, because if it is not rude, who is willing to sell his ancestral property? But will these people give up? This is a categorical refusal! And Feng Qiu was able to suppress them, on the one hand, relying on the full support of His Majesty and his teacher, because there was a teaching team and a brocade guard, but ...... What about other states and counties? Therefore, the teacher proposed the second step. ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "What is the second step? ”

"The first step was to cut off the gentry's illusions about the land, to stop allowing them to hold the land, and to find a way to cut off their desire to continue annexing. After breaking these thoughts, a second problem arises, and that is that these people have a lot of money through the savings of many generations, and through the sale of land, even if the land is sold cheaply. The fact that these gold and silver could no longer be used to purchase land was, of course, a very unpleasant thing for them. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse aroused his curiosity at this time.

However, he can also understand these thoughts.

The eighteen generations of the ancestors have continued the mode of constantly buying, buying, buying, and buying, and nothing else, although they have money in their hands, they are probably very uncomfortable.

Just listen to Shao Ning continued: "Therefore, we must eliminate their hatred and lead them to the right path." Therefore, the problem of managing the gentry at the moment is like controlling water, is it blocked or sparse? The teacher's method is to block it first and then loosen it. ”

"How?"

"This ......" Guan Shaoning smiled and said: "It's hard to say, what is going on, you still need Your Majesty to see it in the county tomorrow." ”

"You guy, I thought you were an honest man, who knew that you also knew about selling Guanzi."

Guan Shaoning looked at Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi said with a smile at this time: "Your Majesty, it's better to hear than to see, let's take a look tomorrow, and everything will be clear." Besides, Your Majesty has been tired all the way, but I am afraid that it will be hard, so I will rest early today, and tomorrow morning, let this guy Guan Shaoning take you for a good walk to see how the second step of this new deal works. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse then had no choice but to say, "If you can't see it tomorrow, I am the only one who asks." ”

He was referring to Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi felt that she was very wronged, and she was obviously in charge of Shao Ning's business.

Zhang Jingyi actually hadn't seen Guan Shaoning for a long time, and wanted to have a good conversation, so he said goodbye with Guan Shaoning.

However, although the Emperor of the Apocalypse was a little tired, he still couldn't sleep, just like Zhu Youzhen.

On the one hand, there is something on the mind, and on the other hand, it is used to staying up late.

After tossing and turning, in the middle of the night, the two brothers got together again.

"Brother Huang must have a good rest."

"The same goes for you."

As he spoke, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then they started to think about each other.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at him and said, "Do you have something to say?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said honestly: "The minister thinks that if this new policy can be implemented, it may not be a bad thing for the world." Zhang Jingyi is indeed a capable person, and his brother is really convinced. In the past, the younger brothers had a lot of misunderstandings about Zhang Jingyi, but now they know that he is a good ruler. The younger brother now wants to know what the second step of managing Shao Ning will be tomorrow. But...... What was the royal brother thinking? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed, "I have the same opinion as you, so there is one thing that I am like a fish in my throat. ”

Immediately afterward, the two brothers looked at each other.

Zhu Youzhen immediately guessed the intention of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse immediately shouted loudly: "Come, come, prepare horses for me, I and King Xin have important things to do." ”

………

In the dead of night, Zhang Jingyi slept very sweetly, his residence was not far from the emperor, and when he talked with Guan Shao Ning about the night, he couldn't stop the sleepiness and fell asleep directly.

It's just that at this time, suddenly a cold thing made Zhang Jingyi in the dream feel uncomfortable suddenly.

Zhang Jing woke up in fright.

found that there was clearly a knife on his neck.

Luckily, it's the back of the knife.

But Zhang Jingyi was still so frightened that he shouted violently: "There are assassins...... Heroes spare their lives......"

Then the oil lamp was lit.

Suddenly ushered in a bright light, Zhang Jingyi's eyes were a little stinging, and then rubbed his eyes, and saw that under the faint light, two terrifying faces were smiling at him.

An Emperor of the Apocalypse.

A Zhu Youzhen.

"Hey......

At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse flexibly turned the knife, and this time, it was really the blade against Zhang Jingyi's neck.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "It's okay to spare your life, now I will only give you two ways, do you want to eat this knife, or do you want to marry my sister, you can choose for yourself!" ”
