In June of the sixth year of the Grand Duke, the collection of asset registration tax in Britain has reached the final juncture.

According to Zhu Jingyuan and Charlotte's discussion, it was decided that after Britain became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it would complete a round of comprehensive social reform.

The core goal of most reforms in history has been to adjust the ownership and distribution of assets.

As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.

Without reasonable compensation, directly depriving a person of his assets is tantamount to killing his father and taking his wife.

So the more successful reforms in history have either made sufficient compensation or have been counteracted by other forces.

In other words, the promoters of reform have absolute force to suppress.

Even if there is really a hatred of killing his father and taking his wife, those who don't want to die can only accept this result.

The latter is the case of the Ming in the UK.

This reform is said to be a reform, but in fact, it is a simple and crude seizure of the assets of the wealthy class, most of which are distributed to the emperor, the king, and the imperial court.

Finally, a little bit of it will be evenly distributed to the poor families at the bottom.

But when it comes to actually carrying out this matter, there must be a basic public reason.

Britain became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty with the help of Judy Plutonium, the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

The nature of Britain has undergone a complete and complete transformation, and the assets of the British need to be re-registered in the Ming court before they can continue to be legally held and inherited.

Before the registration, only the original British royal family recognized, and after the registration, the entire Ming Dynasty recognized.

But it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to register you unconditionally.

Therefore, assets with a total value of more than a certain amount need to pay asset registration tax according to the progressive proportion.

Zhu Jingyuan originally promised that the reform plan of the British mainland could be formulated with reference to the plan of Dongyi, but the restrictions would be further relaxed.

At the beginning, the people of Dongyi could only keep assets below 10,000 silver bills.

It is equivalent to one million yuan in Zhu Jingyuan's previous life.

Nationals in the UK can keep their assets on a higher shelf, but pay a lump sum asset registration tax at a progressive rate.

Assets held below 100 silver notes are not subject to registration tax.

The part above 100 silver bills and less than 10,000 silver bills is subject to a registration tax of 1%.

The part above 10,000 silver bills and less than 100,000 silver bills shall pay 10% of the registration tax.

The portion above 100,000 silver bills and less than 1,000,000 silver notes shall pay 20% of the registration tax.

The part above 1,000,000,000 banknotes and below 10,000,000 silver banknotes shall be subject to a 50% registration tax.

The part above 10 million silver notes and less than 100 million silver notes shall pay 70% of the registration tax.

For the portion above 100 million silver banknotes, 90% of the registration tax shall be paid.

The progressive tax rate, which is only used to calculate the assets within the target range, is calculated separately at each stage and finally added up to pay.

It's not that a person with a total asset of 300 million will directly receive 270 million.

Instead, the part above 100 million will be collected first, which is also 90 percent of 200 million, that is, 180 million.

Then the part between 10 million and 100 million is a total of 90 million assets and 70 percent, that is, 63 million.

Going further down from the next million to the part before 10 million, the total of 9 million assets received 50 percent, that is, 3.5 million.

In this way, all the stages are superimposed, and a total of two hundred and forty million seven hundred seventy nine thousand nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine is collected.

It doesn't seem to be much worse than 270 million.

Only households with less than one million silver bills can keep more than half of their assets.

In fact, for assets of more than 100 million, the new imperial court directly collects ninety percent of the registration tax, which basically means confiscation.

Leaving a hundred percent is the "kindness" of the Ming Emperor.

In the world where America is dying, Britain is the most developed capitalist country.

Therefore, unlike the Yinzhou colony on the edge of poverty, there are several families with assets of more than 100 million silver banknotes.

Some of them were landed aristocrats, and some were industrial and commercial capitalists.

The main targets of the new British court of the Ming Dynasty were the nobles and capital families with huge assets.

Since the British do own a large amount of assets, the British also joined the Ming Dynasty through relatively legal means and relatively voluntarily.

Therefore, it can't be like the rest of the Taixi Continent, where all assets are simply and rudely confiscated, and at the same time, each person is issued a hundred silver bills in cash to offset the account.

There is a real need for a large number of people to liquidate and assess assets according to previous market conditions, and finally collect taxes on a pro rata basis.

According to the advice of Emperor Zhu Zhongliang of the Ming Dynasty Zhenzong Huan in terms of inheritance tax.

For large landowners, the corresponding proportion of land is collected directly according to the proportion of registration tax.

For industrial and commercial capitalists, equity is collected on a pro rata basis.

Even with this experience, it still took more than two years to finally liquidate it.

However, in the process, Daming also completed a comprehensive round of asset and population census in the United Kingdom, and registered all the people in the United Kingdom.

The most important fixed assets of the British mainland, the core land closest to the city, were turned into royal or national ownership.

The King of England directly became the largest bourgeoisie and owner of real estate in Britain itself.

Other members of the nobility in the original British royal system have also completed a round of reshuffle in the process.

The former royal nobles of the remote branches, although the British allowed them to continue to retain the noble self-title, the rest of the Ming Dynasty did not recognize them.

At the same time, the asset registration tax should not be paid at all.

Neither the prince nor the prince of the Ming Dynasty can be exempt from taxes, let alone these nobles of different races.

The King of the United Kingdom is a monarch in order to be exempt from the asset registration tax.

The nature of Britain itself in the Great Ming Dynasty system was the same as that of Persia, Egypt and other foreign vassal states.

Therefore, the land and important assets of the country are owned by the king of England.

Now the King of England is still a child, so it is the King's mother Charlotte who serves as regent.

Charlotte has to stay in Daming and have children with Zhu Jingyuan in the past two years.

Therefore, the current management of the British mainland is actually the officials arranged by the Ming court, with the officials and nobles of the British mainland.

However, they also did according to Zhu Jingyuan and Charlotte's instructions.

Referring to the royal consortium and the Ming consortium of the Ming Dynasty, a British royal industrial group and a British national industrial group were established.

The division of the two is also similar to that of the royal and imperial courts of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that there are no high-end industries in the UK.

Only basic industries such as minerals, iron and steel, military, railways, highways, shipping, and finance could be handed over to the royal group.

The National Industrial Group is responsible for bulk industries such as grain, agriculture, automobiles, trains, aircraft, and machinery.

Most of the urban land and large estates on the outskirts of the city were owned by the royal family, and a small part was given to the national industrial group for office use.

A large number of small-scale properties, including apartment buildings, townhouses, and small estates, are evenly divided between the two groups as dormitories for employees.

Apartment buildings are directly occupied by employee families, townhouses can be rented one floor per family, and small estates can be divided into multiple families according to rooms.

And the same policy was announced, and after twenty years of continuous service to the royal family and the country, they were able to get a house.

Including the current apartment buildings and townhouses, more family homes will be built in the future to replace the families living together in the estate.

In the original industrial system of Britain, most of the workers lived in rented houses.

Rent is also an important expense in their lives.

Now a large number of workers have become employees of the royal family and the state, and have directly received free apartments for living in.

First of all, the cost of renting a house is gone, and the pressure of life has dropped sharply.

The point is that after having your own house, your emotional happiness rises in a straight line.

The royal family and the state gave a large number of estates occupied by the aristocracy to the workers, and the rental market in British cities turned into a buyer's market.

The living pressures of other workers who did not become employees of the royal family and state industries also fell in parallel.

At the same time, the royal family and the National Industrial Company, and even the Ming royal consortium, are also investing in more industries in the UK.

They are offering more jobs in the UK and are offering higher salaries than before.

The original poor class in Britain now has the most basic living security.

Naturally, the situation in Britain has stabilized in an all-round way.

The wealthy merchants and nobles who had lost a lot of assets did not have the courage to resist under the direct suppression of the Ming garrison and the general trend of the whole world surrendering to the Ming Dynasty.

On June 16, the Great Duke's 6th year, the property registration tax in Britain was collected.

For the Ming occupation army, the British political envoy has completed a particularly important task.

After the repeated review is completed, it is submitted to the British Regent and the Ming Emperor for review.

In the end, the Ming Emperor replied that he knew, and His Royal Highness the Regent Charlotte responded that military control could be lifted.

During the asset registration period, that is, in the process of mapping the British mainland, the whole of the United Kingdom was also in a state of military control.

On June 20, the sixth year of the Archduke, the British Legation and the British Command jointly issued an order to officially lift the state of military control in Britain.

After the news was made public through the radio, the wealthy class in Britain finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The most depressing time has finally passed.

Although many people have lost a lot of wealth, the whole family is basically intact, and there is still a large part of the wealth left.

Assets below 100 million silver banknotes can leave more than 30%.

Assets below 10 million silver notes can leave more than 50%.

One million silver notes can leave eighty percent, that is, 100 million assets can leave 80 million.

The tax is directly collected from land and equity, and if there are multiple manor land or multiple manufacturer shares, you can also use several of them to pay in full.

In turn, complete estates and full control of factories and trading houses in other areas were retained.

So they still have a lot left on their hands.

For people of this level, this loss does not directly affect their standard of living.

Because at this level, more asset growth only increases in the amount of assets, and the actual impact on the owner's own life is getting smaller and smaller.

It is also for this reason that the bourgeoisie has a high tolerance in the face of absolute violence.

Just like the gentry and landlords in the south of the Ming Dynasty in history, their patience in front of the butcher's knife of the Qing Dynasty was also extremely high.

The places where the bourgeois revolution broke out, without exception, were places where the people at the bottom could not survive.

The bourgeoisie, relying on its knowledge and managerial faculties, spent the power of the lowest strata of people, whose lives were not worth much, to force the obedience of the traditional monarch who did not cooperate with them.

Let the bourgeoisie carry its own guns and make a revolution?

They won't do it.

If your life is gone, how can you make money?

If the monarch in the traditional sense can influence the vast majority of ordinary people at the bottom, he can give them basic living security.

And then they themselves stopped the army in size with ordinary people.

No matter how great the resentment in the hearts of the bourgeoisie is, they don't have the courage to really do anything ruthless.

But at the same time, the traditional monarch mainly manages the ordinary people at the bottom, and also wants to take advantage of the management ability of the bourgeoisie.

Therefore, even if the traditional monarch has absolute force, he cannot really force the bourgeoisie to death.

In the end, they have to be given a way to live, and they have to be guaranteed basic benefits and privileges.

This is a contradiction of mutual hostility and mutual need.

From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang dynasties, the relationship between the traditional emperors and traditional families in Shenzhou is also very similar.

To a certain extent, there is a high similarity between the way Taixi elected bureaucrats in modern times and the bureaucrats produced in ancient China through the election of village sages and the promotion of filial piety and honesty.

Those who can participate in elections have a similar social position to those who can be held up for filial piety.

They are all representatives or spokespersons of the "family".

The Tang and Song emperors of Shenzhou did not want to unconditionally protect the privileges of the family, so they created another way, the imperial examination.

It has created a way for ordinary people to be promoted to become national managers.

and the way to screen out the people who are willing to cooperate in the family, those who are really capable of governing the country.

Gradually, the Maison's selection of officials became the choice of officials.

Even if most of the people who are finally chosen are still from the family, the initiative between the two sides has gradually reversed.

Because the Maison does not guarantee that its heirs will achieve the highest achievements.

Even if the concubines of the family are pulled to the emperor's side, it is enough to break the family's system and control it.

The Ming royal family and imperial court, who were born in Shenzhou, have the experience of accumulating from the Tang and Song dynasties to now becoming more and more mature, and subduing the family by controlling the bottom.

Now he also knows how to control the capital families in Britain.

First, violently suppressed and confiscated a number of social assets, wiped out the vast majority of social assets, and then used the universal imperial examination system to break the traditional family system.

Let the children of nobles who have no inheritance rights and people from ordinary people become the main force of officials.

So on the third day after the news of the de-regulation, the British Legation officially released another equally important piece of news.

The British Legation will hold the second imperial examination for the whole of Britain on August 11, 2046, 2046.

It will also be the first round of the official and rigorous imperial examination.

During the period of martial control, Britain held an unofficial imperial examination last year and recruited a group of British students to show talents.

This time, the provincial examinations will be open to the British.

The highest British person can serve as the chief official of the British government-level yamen.

After the news of the deregulation was sent, the remaining traditional aristocrats and factory owners in Britain were already preparing a banquet to celebrate freedom.

Although they have lost a large amount of assets, their identities are still barely secured.

And the remaining assets can be guaranteed by Daming.

And it's something to celebrate.

In fact, the more important thing is that they haven't held a banquet for two years, and they don't have the opportunity to communicate and discuss things at any time.

Now the purpose of the banquet is more to exchange information.

Discuss the future situation.

The reason for holding the banquet itself is not important.

In order to reduce the vigilance of the official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, it is more appropriate to use the name of celebrating freedom.

As a result, after receiving this news, many people's already unhappy mood became heavier again.

The traditional aristocratic families of the British mainland, as well as the emerging bourgeois families, were able to see what the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty would lead to.

will make the second son in the family, or the child who has no inheritance right, become a supporter of the new British royal family.

It will give the children of those managers and buddies the opportunity to become officials who manage themselves.

Your social status will be further reduced.

Their feelings were mixed, but the so-called celebratory banquet had to be continued, or it should have been held.

Even if you can't find any good way to cope, it's good to complain to each other and vent your emotions.

Therefore, since the sixth year of the sixth year of the Archduce, large and small banquets and gatherings have been held in and around London.

As a result, the emotions were not fully vented, but a large number of people were sent directly to prison.

Because Jin Yiwei went back to the banquet to inspect and check the identity registration information of the participants, the key is the marriage registration information.

When he found that the man and woman who were holding hands and dancing around their waists were not husband and wife, they directly pulled them out, beat them with sticks on the spot, and imposed a fine of 100 silver bills.

If one of them is married, then both of them shall be beaten with twenty strokes and fined two hundred silver bills.

If the adulterer is directly caught in bed, and the two parties are not husband and wife, they shall be beaten with 80 sticks and fined 800 silver bills.

If one of them is married, he shall be given a hundred strokes and a fine of 1,000 silver bills.

Of course, if the woman is a prostitute, has a duly registered workplace, and has an invited work arrangement, then both parties are innocent.

In fact, it is dealt with as the crime of adultery, but it is divided into different levels according to the severity of the situation.

Originally, he should have been caught and put in charge of the yamen, and he would have been beaten openly at another time, and he would have to pick up his pants.

The official law of the Ming Dynasty, the treatment of adultery, is to beat the stick.

If the husband himself finds out, he can kill both adulterers on the spot without being guilty.

But after that the husband himself, no one else can interfere.

To kill immediately at the scene is actually to allow the upper head to kill.

After leaving the scene, the more the husband thought about it, the more angry he became, and if he went to kill again, he would also be punished.

In ancient times, the so-called immersion of pig cages and sinking ponds were all unofficial clan lynchings, which had nothing to do with the imperial court and the yamen.

Daming Jinyiwei's action to investigate the adultery of the party has collapsed the people of the traditional wealthy families in Britain.

Several gatherings in several different cities have turned into a group of people lying on the ground and slamming the board.

Then for a short time there was no one to gather anymore, and everyone began to carefully study the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

No one thinks that Da Ming's behavior is bad, and no one says that this kind of law is anti-human.

Instead, it was not long before there were newspaper articles saying that England was finally going to become a truly civilized world.

Call on all British people to study and abide by the Ming system in the future, and live in the way of the Ming people.

Abandon all the traditions of backward morality, law, culture, clothing, food, etc. in the British homeland.

It is necessary to be strict in order to be strict in order to help Britain truly break away from ignorance and integrate into the civilized world dominated by the Ming Dynasty.

The standard of civilization in this world is the Ming Dynasty, and the standard of the Ming Dynasty must be civilized.

If you have a different tradition and culture than the Ming Dynasty, it must be your own tradition and culture that is wrong.

In the future, we must comprehensively study the system, culture and lifestyle of the Ming Dynasty.

However, there are also some people who just stubbornly refuse to change, and even have a rebellious mentality.

Continue to live in a traditional Western-style castle and dress the whole family and children in traditional Tessie attire.

Insist on speaking English in everyday life and completely reject the Ming dialect.

Da Ming Jin Yiwei didn't care about them.

As long as you face Jinyiwei and go to the yamen to do business, you can use Daming Yayan and writing.

Love is what you love in your daily life.

The nature of Britain itself is special, and they can barely be regarded as active members, and they are not suitable for complete and comprehensive purification.

So it got the permission of Emperor Zhu Jingyuan of the Ming Dynasty.

Britain does not need to completely demolish the original traditional buildings, nor does it need to force the British to fully understand them.

Britain, a depression of Tessie culture, a mess that has been stitched up, will become a traditional Tessie cultural preservation area.

People who want to keep the tradition with a rebellious mentality are also a bunch of stitched things.

Of course, it is mixed with a lot of imaginary ingredients
