A few days later, in the early dynasty, Zhao Xu announced that he had decided to deal with the post-war affairs of the Western Xia in accordance with the proposals of Zhang Qi and Wu Zhi, and at the same time announced that the nobles of the Western Xia would be treated preferentially, especially the Western Xia lord Li Qianshun. He decreed that Li Qianshun was named the king of Xingqing, and he was given the title of Tokyo, and he was named the Marquis of Liangzhou, and he was also given the house of Tokyo, and some members of the royal family of Western Xia also gave certain rewards and preferential treatment, and lived in the capital, which was equivalent to keeping them in captivity in Bianliang, the capital. Some civil and military officials complained about this, but they had no choice but to grit their teeth and agree.

Then, when Zhao Xu asked how to increase the revenue of the state treasury, everyone had different opinions, some said that the Fangtian average tax law should be restored, some said that the Qingmiao Law would increase interest, some said that the recruitment law would increase the money for errand soldiers, some said that the tax on people should be raised, and some said that the tax on merchants should be increased, and so on. But what everyone said was nothing more than the original method, nothing new, and in the end it failed to form any resolution.

Zhao Xu watched the ministers arguing, crying and laughing, and was bored. looked around, but found that Wu Zhi and some military attachés were speechless and stood by.

These military attaches don't know how to say it, but isn't Wu Zhi resourceful? Why didn't you say anything? Zhao Xu felt a little strange in his heart, so he coughed a few times and stopped everyone's quarrel. After the scene was quiet, he asked, "Wu Qing's family, what is the best plan?" ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested, and some people looked at Wu Zhi playfully, ready to look lively.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has a chapter, please Your Majesty!" When Wu Zhi heard Zhao Xu's roll call, he stepped out of the queue, took a step forward, bowed and saluted, and unhurriedly took out the two prepared folds from his pocket and handed them to Hao Sui, who came to receive them.

I'm really prepared! Letino written? When everyone saw it, they were a little dumbfounded, this excitement is probably not enough.

Zhao Xu also took the two pieces sent by Hao Sui with great interest, spread them out in his hand, and saw that one was a piece of the music for the formation and training of the new army, so he opened it and looked at it first, nodding his head while watching, and felt very curious about the structure and title of the new army proposed by Wu Zhi. After reading it, he put it aside casually, opened another piece of music and read it.

Looking at it, Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly lit up, Wu Zhi's proposal was reasonable, and many words were said in his heart, which caused a strong resonance.

"Spread into acres? The official and gentleman also have to pay the land endowment? Repeal the Seedlings Act? Immigration reclamation? There is a lot of content, Zhao Xu played with the music in his hand and muttered to himself.

If it can be implemented, there is no doubt that it should be able to fill the treasury, reduce the heavy burden of the people, ease the social contradictions, and the rioters will be greatly reduced, but the resistance is also very large, and the officials and gentlemen who own a lot of land will definitely attack and oppose it vigorously. But he is still a little hesitant to repeal the Seedlings Law.

Zhao Xu pondered for a moment, and then casually handed over Wu Zhi's recital to Hao Sui, and he read it out to the civil and military officials in the ranks.

After Hao Sui finished reading it, the audience was in an uproar, and all the civil and military officials couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. In particular, when they heard that "regardless of the officials, gentlemen, and relatives of the emperor, they should also pay the land tax according to the number of acres of land," some officials were even more indignant and uncertain in their hearts. Wu Zhi's proposal completely subverted their cognition. The proposal to repeal the Seedlings Law has also touched the faith and hearts of some members of the so-called New Party.

For thousands of years, the officials and gentlemen led by scholars have been proud of not having to serve forced labor, not having to pay food and taxes, and studying weekdays to gain fame and fame, just to be able to enjoy this privilege, whether rich or poor, this privilege can make them have a sense of superiority. But now, Wu Zhi proposed that the official and gentry led by the scholars should also pay the land endowment, which undoubtedly deeply touched their interests and privileges, so why should they be embarrassed?

So, soon someone stood up and objected, and the words were passionate and impassioned, as if Wu Zhi had killed them and taken away their treasures!

In the end, in addition to dozens of people such as Zhang Chun, An Tao, Zhang Qi, Lin Xi, Xu Jiang, Zhang Shangying, and Huang Lu, even Zeng Bu, An Chun, Cai Jing, Xingshu and other court officials also joined the ranks of the opponents, glaring angrily at Wu Zhi and criticizing them verbally and in writing.

Zhao Xu's face was gloomy, looking at the ugly appearance of the people who generously expressed their opposition to Wu Zhi's proposal under his nose, and his heart was extremely angry, he still agreed with the land and the resettlement and reclamation. Zhao Xu tried his best to strengthen the army and expand the territory, which required a lot of money and food, and of course he also wanted to find an effective means to accumulate wealth as soon as possible.

Since Wu Zhi handed over the recital to Zhao Xu to read, he returned to the queue, silently watching the opposing crowd jumping up and down, without saying a word, as calm as an outsider.

After all the people who opposed it had spoken generously, the hall finally fell silent. Everyone looked at Zhao Xu, who had a gloomy face, and then looked at Wu Zhi, who was calm and calm, and suddenly fell into a strange atmosphere, looking at each other, silent, and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Zhang Xiang, tell me about the Qing family, how to decide?" Zhao Xu suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked Zhang Chun.

"This? Rong Chen thinks about it again! Zhang Chun was hesitant, neither in favor nor against, and played Tai Chi with Zhao Xu. His Zhang family is a big family in his hometown in Fujian, and his family has more than 10,000 acres of land, and if he is in favor of Wu Zhi's apportionment of the acreage, it will greatly damage the interests of his family, and Wu Zhi's proposal to abolish the Qingmiao Law is even more challenging his authority as the leader of the so-called New Party. But he didn't dare to openly oppose it, he was the prime minister, and he still had to take the lead with the idea of the official Zhao Xu, so he was a bit of a dilemma.

Hearing Zhang Chun's answer, Zhao Xu snorted very dissatisfied, and was very unhappy in his heart. He didn't bother to ask the others, he looked at Wu Zhi, his face was a little pale, and he slowly asked, "Wu Qing's family, is this strategy feasible?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, as long as the court is willing to make up its mind and give it a go, this strategy is feasible and controllable!" Wu Zhi immediately responded without thinking.

"No, Your Majesty! This strategy is to confuse the public and disrupt the court, which will definitely cause a catastrophe! Cai Jing jumped out and objected bitterly.

"Yes, Your Majesty! This strategy is vicious and will cause chaos! Zeng Bu, An Chun, Xing Shu and others also echoed the opposition, and the Wende Hall suddenly became noisy again.

"Enough!" Wu Zhi couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted, which immediately calmed everyone, and everyone could only stare at him fiercely and no longer speak.

"I ask you, you keep saying that there is chaos, where does it come from? Are you guys going to mess up? Or are your families going to be in chaos? Wu Zhi glanced contemptuously at the opposing crowd and questioned in a loud voice. This hat was buttoned a little too big, and the people who dissented were so frightened that they dared not speak out.

"If you eat the king, you have to worry about the king! Didn't the saints teach you? Have all your sages read about dogs? Wu Zhi then reprimanded. It's another big hat buttoned down, and these people are a little confused.

"Sage Cloud: Self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and equalizes the world. First cultivate yourself and Qi family, and then govern the country and level the world, this time the order can't be messed up! Look at you again, leading Houlu but not self-cultivation, always putting personal interests above the interests of the family and country, and not thinking about returning to the court, what kind of system is this? "It's a big hat again, and these people are a little scareless.

"Think about the common people who have no land but still have to pay grain and pay the fields, they are not clothed and fed, and their lives are so hard and difficult! And you and your family sit on thousands of acres of fertile land but do not pay taxes, how unfair it is, the world is so broken! Where is your conscience? Have they all been eaten by dogs? Why are you so unkind to the rich? "It's still a big hat, buckled on these people's heads, they're a little numb.

"They are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are under the same sky, why do the common people pay the land endowment, but your family can't? What is the principle of heaven? If the world is unfair, there will be people who complain about grievances, do you want to force the people to rebel and cause trouble to the court? You really have a damn heart! Wu Zhi took advantage of the victory to pursue, and said indignantly.

This hat was buttoned down, and the people who directly held the opposing opinions were frightened, and they hurriedly opened their mouths one after another, and asked Zhao Xu for their guilt in panic. They finally learned what it means to add sin to desire, and there is no excuse for it.

Zhao Xu watched Wu Zhi reprimand everyone who opposed the paving of the acres in his own way, blatantly buttoning his hat, and almost laughed out loud in his heart. These guys who only know how to fight in the nest, enjoy the people's fat and people's ointment, but they don't think about the people, they don't think about sharing their worries for the court and the emperor, and only care about their own interests, so it's time to be cured.

Dozens of people next to him, including An Tao, Zhang Qi, and Lin Xi, were also shocked by Wu Zhi's big stick dance, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, their faces were flushed, and they looked at Wu Zhi in awe or awe: "The future is terrifying!" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is indeed feasible to spread the land into the mu, and the green seedlings should also be abolished. Before the implementation of the apportionment into the mu, you can first issue a notice to the whole country, find a pilot implementation, set up a measurement department, select local or capital forbidden officers and soldiers to accompany you, assist the measurement of the treasurer officials to measure and liquidate the field, measure the new field in accordance with the new measurement standard, and register the book, according to the number of acres of new land after the measurement and liquidation, the unified calculation and collection after the tax is apportioned, and the supervision of the army inspector is set up. Those who violate the order and refuse to cooperate with the measurement and liquidation shall be severely punished and shall be fined twice the amount of the field; Those who violently resist are of a heinous nature may be imprisoned and fined five times the amount of the field. After the pilot is successful, it will be promoted in turn, and it will be gradually promoted. This law is implemented without distinction between rich and poor, and without discrimination. Wu Zhi felt that the heat was almost over, and immediately threw out specific methods for implementation.

At this time, no one dared to come out to object, and it could be seen that Zhao Xu was also quite moved by this, and the sacred heart was unpredictable. With Zhao Xu's acquiescence, Wu Zhi's proposal was successfully passed, and the initial intention was reached.

As a result, the next agenda has become the question of how to implement the "apportionment into the acre".

After half a day of discussion and discussion, everyone could only reluctantly reach a preliminary conclusion, and decided to implement the apportionment into the mu, unify the field measurement standards, implement the new mu standard, re-measure and liquidate the fields, divide the field grades and register them, and collect the tax into the field endowment. It was decided that the Ministry of Household would select officials to set up a measurement department, and the front department of the palace would select and send forbidden officers and soldiers to assist, and the eunuchs in the palace would serve as the supervisors. After the land is apportioned into the mu, only cash is collected, which is collected in summer and autumn, and is collected according to the standard of two in the south and one in the north. At the same time, the market will be opened up, and the surplus grain obtained by peasant households will be allowed to be traded on the market. The system of peace and joint purchase was temporarily abolished, and the grain and grass materials needed by the government and the imperial court were purchased from the market at parity, and those who maliciously lowered the price and hurt the people or arbitrarily raised the price were fined and imprisoned. At the same time, it is stipulated that the collected land is based on the number of acres of land, and the number of people who breed in the future will not be increased. As for the resettlement reclamation, there is no place to immigrate now, for the time being; The repeal of the Seedlings Act will also be left to a later date.

In the first year of Yuan Fu, the population of the whole territory of the Great Song Dynasty had nearly 20 million households, with nearly 44.6 million people, and the per capita poll tax was about 200 wen yuan per year. The land tax after the apportionment of the land to the mu is almost half less than the sum of the previous poll tax, forced labor, and land tax, which greatly reduces the burden on the broad masses of the people. In this way, Wu Zhi's proposal to spread the land into the mu was successfully implemented, which was also due to Zhao Xu's eagerness to succeed, and he was even more attentive and anxious than Wu Zhi.

Kaifeng Prefecture has sixteen counties under its jurisdiction, and the territory is very wide, which is enough to measure the division for a while.

Wu Zhi's goal was that the Song Dynasty should not only strengthen the army, but also strengthen the country, and without enough economic strength as support, a strong country and army could only be an empty word, and nothing could be changed. Wu Zhi wanted to take advantage of Zhao Xu's competitive and eager psychology to tie him to the same warship, so that his plan could be implemented step by step and prevent trouble. Now that the apportionment of the land to the mu can be implemented, the goal of strengthening the army and the country has taken another big step.

Although the civil and military ministers who held opposing opinions in the palace just now were in favor of trying to apportionment into the mu, they already hated Wu Zhi in their hearts, gritted their teeth, and secretly thought about how they and their families should avoid paying taxes.

Evil Warrior Plant!

If their gaze could kill, they would have killed Wu Zhi thousands of times.

Wu Zhidong watched the fire and knew it well, and he knew in his heart what these ministers and other officials and gentlemen were thinking, which was nothing more than how to find ways to evade taxes and set up resistance. He has nothing to worry about and worry about, it is Zhao Xu who should be in a hurry, and someone will naturally come to help him clean up this group of silverfish, and he doesn't need to do it himself.

Zhao Xu suppressed the formation of a new army, and he had to discuss with Zhang Chun, An Tao and other bigwigs before making a decision.
