Chapter 504 Prime Minister Zuo's Yandi Raiders
The half-truths and half-truths between Yang Ming and the Snow Girl are just a small spice in life, and in Yan Kingdom, Yang Ming has more important things to do.
Qin Wangzheng was able to completely put the power to dispose of Yandi into Yang Ming's hands, no matter what Qin Wangzheng's thoughts were, it was a kind of trust in Yang Ming after all, and the corresponding person was that Yang Ming had to deal with the affairs of Yandi, and the strategic issues could even affect Qin's national policy of ruling the land of the Six Kingdoms in the future.
Yang Ming didn't know if the path he chose was wrong, but Yang Ming knew that if everything had not changed, the path that belonged to the Qin State and the Qin Wangzheng would inevitably be wrong, and the outcome of Zulong's death and division was still inevitable.
In that war that lasted for eight years, the damage caused to the world was unimaginable, because it was a war with no bottom line, and after eight years of war, the newly built empire was so weak that even the emperor couldn't find a few war horses of the same color to pull, which shows how much damage that war caused to the world.
The Seven Kingdoms have been fighting for more than 200 years, and they have not destroyed this world to such a situation.
The war that lasted for eight years would be better if it didn't happen.
It's just that the first step in governing Yan Guo should begin? Of course, it starts with measuring the land, and in this world, the land is the foundation.
It is undoubtedly an extremely difficult thing to measure the land up and down the Yan Kingdom, but fortunately, Yang Ming has been prepared for this for a long time, and has been preparing for this for ten years.
At the end of September of the sixteenth year of the reign of King Qin, starting from Jicheng, thousands of soldiers of Lin Wei had their new identity, divided the Yan Kingdom into ten regions, began to draw an atlas, counted the population, and then grasped the real data of the Yan Kingdom, and then went to carry out the next plan, everything had to start from little by little.
As the Qin army began to check the land within the Yan region, the entire Yan land was already restless, such a thing as checking the land and census the population was something that the Yan Kingdom wanted to do, but no one could complete it, as the most conservative country, the various relationships within the Yan State were intricate, and it could be described as an extremely bloated country, and the local forces were intertwined with each other, making the original Yan State court have the least power.
This is also the reason why Yan is not a small country and its population is not too small, but it is called the weakest country.
And what Yang Ming has to do is to completely control this power, and then use this power to do other things.
What the Yan Kings of the past dynasties couldn't do, Yang Ming wanted to do it, because he was not the Yan King, he didn't have the scruples of the Yan King, as for the turmoil, the turmoil that could break out at the first time, it was not turmoil.
Because the Qin State was at its peak at this time, even if turmoil broke out, Yang Ming and the Qin army under his command could be extinguished at the first time, on the contrary, if these hidden dangers were hidden, and when the Qin State was weak, such as following the original historical trajectory process, and then breaking out when there were problems within the Qin State, it would be truly fatal at that time.
Sure enough, with the census in the whole Yan land, all kinds of problems emerged one after another, some rebelled, and some sent assassins to assassinate the Qin officials who were surveyed, but when the Qin army suppressed its resistance with a thunderous force, killed its people, confiscated its property, and sent its people to Liaodong, after the initial turmoil, there was more fear and silence among the people.
At the end of October of the sixteenth year of the reign of King Qin, when he was about to enter the seventeenth year of the reign of King Qin, after the extermination of the seventeen major clans and the exile of the thirty-two clans, the inventory of Yan Land was officially completed.
Jicheng, the left prime minister's mansion.
In front of Yang Ming was a mountain of atlases, these were all the land and population of Yan Kingdom, including those hidden households and slaves.
In front of Yang Ming, dozens of people were busy summarizing all kinds of information, and finally gave Yang Ming a complete data.
Yan is really not weak, at least in the complete data, the bottom of Yan is not weak, all kinds of cultivated land reaches tens of millions of acres, and the population is nearly four million, and this is only the Yan land south of Yan Mountain, if you add Liaodong, this data will become more beautiful.
However, the inventory of the land population can be completed quickly and violently, but a further investigation requires a different approach.
In the Yan Kingdom, where the inheritance nobles are everywhere, land is just one of their assets, and in addition, there are other existences.
In this era, although there has not yet been such an existence as Haoqiang, but many things are interconnected, although there is no Haoqiang in this world, but there are powerful, and the powerful are the enhanced version of Haoqiang, how to deal with these 'strengthened version of Haoqiang', although Yang Ming can't find a better way, but he has experience to follow.
Among the many dynasties in history, there was once a dynasty that did everything it could to combat the powerful, and various means were endless, and coincidentally, from a historical point of view, that dynasty was not too far away from this time and space.
Among the means of checking the assets of 'Haoqiang', there are two very interesting methods, called calculation and suing.
The so-called calculation is also known as counting money. A property tax law levied in the early Western Han Dynasty, a kind of existence similar to progressive income tax, levied on people whose income reached a certain level, because its starting point was not low, so it was mainly for merchants, craftsmen, usurers, and vehicles and ships.
As for the accusation, it is even more absolute, the extension of the so-called accusation, that is, to encourage the denunciation of people who pay the truth. If the accusation is found to be true, all the property of the defendant will be confiscated and a fine of one year will be imposed on the border, and the whistleblower will be rewarded with half of the confiscated property, and the other half will of course belong to the government.
What's more, in addition to those engaged in handicrafts, in Yan Kingdom, merchants, loan sharks, and people with a large number of vehicles and ships at home are almost all powerful families, and in Yan Kingdom, there is no so-called merchant class, so there are too many powerful people here, and they have already extended their tentacles to all walks of life that can make money.
It can be said that the calculation and accusation that will appear in the future are just right for Yandi at this time, at least for Yang Ming's plan, and this process can also allow Yang Ming to cultivate an excellent tax official system in Yandi.
Yang Ming is well aware of the important role that a good and efficient team of officials can play in a country's ruling system, because taxes correspond to a country's finances and are the most important component of a court's power.
The principle that money is easy to do things can be applied anywhere.
Therefore, when Yang Ming handed over the documents in his hand, the non-commissioned officers and officers in the hall who were selected by Yang Ming and who would form the Yandi tax system in the future fell into contemplation one by one.
"Prime Minister, wouldn't this be too harsh? It's just a matter of reckoning, this is a matter of suing? A very special being in the crowd said.
Among these people, including Yang Ming, they are all young people, but he is over thirty years old, which can be said to be the oldest person.
"Liu Ji, do you have any objections?" Yang Ming looked at the person who spoke out.
"Prime Minister, there is naturally no problem with the implementation of this policy, no one can refuse the temptation of a heavy reward, but there will also be a huge hidden danger in doing so." Liu Ji saw that Yang Ming did not look angry, and he felt a lot more relieved, and he had more courage to speak.
"Tell me about it." Yang Mingdao, Liu Ji, although his fighting skills are not very good, and his martial arts are not good, but he also has what he is good at, that is, his talent in people's livelihood, he is not from a high background, he knows what most Qianshou needs, and he also has his own sympathy, so he can see many things that even geniuses such as Qin Wangzheng can't see.
Most of the people who were born in the royal family in this world will have the arrogance of the royal family, such as Qin Wangzheng, who is a genius, Han Fei, who studied the general law and Confucianism, as for Yan Dan, although he can see the power of villains, he never knows what those villains want in his eyes.
"Once this whistleblower is popularized, there will be a consequence, that is, there are countless whistleblowers, and these whistleblowers have obtained huge benefits, which will only stimulate more people to stare at others, and only think about whistleblowing, and after a long time, people will regard whistleblowing as a profitable thing, and forgetting morality for the sake of profit, will only make the people's customs collapse, and it will be very unfavorable for the prime minister to govern Yan for a long time." Liu Ji voiced his doubts.
As Liu Ji expressed his doubts, everyone in the hall turned their eyes on Liu Ji, for this only related household in Yu Linwei, and also the oldest person, Yu Linwei looked down on him, because Liu Ji's skills didn't seem to have much room to play in the barracks.
But now that Liu Ji can say such a thing, everyone's reaction is completely different, some people are sneering, sneering at Liu Ji for questioning Yang Ming's decision, and some people are pondering, pondering the meaning behind Liu Ji's words.
Of course, then more people shifted their attention to Yang Ming, and what kind of reaction would Prime Minister Zuo, who was questioned by Liu Ji about his decision?
The Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army, including Yu Linwei, was trained by Yang Ming himself, and over the years, he followed Yang Ming to fight from Chu to Yan, and the real southern and northern wars were invincible, making Yang Ming's prestige among the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army have already reached an unimaginable height.
Will such Yang Ming tolerate other people's doubts?
Sure enough, Yang Ming's gaze never left after falling on Liu Ji, and after a long silence, it was unimaginably depressed.
"It seems that you are not fit to be a tax official." After a moment, Yang Ming said faintly.
