Imperial!

The imperial power of the Great Han!

Or the imperial power of the old Liu family!

After the wealthy families of the Han Dynasty found a suitable way for themselves, the imperial power of the Han Dynasty had been mortally threatened.

And this is actually the truth of the scourge of the party!

In order to prevent those wealthy families from coming together, in order to prevent them from colluding, the Han has exhausted all his strength.

Within a reasonable range, they have implemented the three-mutual method, implemented multiple assessments, and assessed again and again in addition to recommendations.

The slightest carelessness will affect the person who recommended it....

And each county must be recommended, and it is also the power of the imperial power that is trying to balance the world.

But with the slow rise of the wealthy families in the county, along with the rights of those princes and kings being hollowed out and swallowed up, these methods have become no longer methods.

Without a suitable ally, the relatives have lost their proper role, and the imperial power in desperation can only choose the least wanted and the most helpless force.

That's... Eunuch!

Once upon a time, when Liu Xie first became the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he also naively thought that this history book was false, and this eunuch repeatedly fought against the wealthy family and the scholars and doctors for the sake of imperial power.

Therefore, their reputation among the people is ugly, and it must be because these pens are held in their hands by the wealthy families and scholars.

And the real eunuchs and emperors must not be what the history books say.

What kind of absurdity and immorality, what kind of cruelty and viciousness, it was all made up by the court and those literati in later generations!

Liu Xie really thought so in the past, but... When Liu Xie's understanding of the word emperor became deeper and deeper, when Liu Xie's understanding of the structure of power became more and more understanding.

His mind finally changed.

Because... There are indeed some private goods in this history book, but the eunuchs... And the emperor who reuses eunuchs, it will definitely not be a good thing!

Liu Xie said this now, and Liu Xie will say this in the future.

Even if one day he had to reuse the eunuchs, he would still say so!

Because, their roots are not right.

To put it simply, if the imperial power wants to seize more power, what is the most important thing to do?

Of course, those wealthy families were defeated!

Only by beating those wealthy families can his position as the emperor be more stable, and he wants to get more say, and he wants more land and the taxes and money generated by these lands.

Then it must be taken from the hands of the wealthy family!

It's a must-do and the only possibility!

Otherwise, would you want this emperor to rob the flesh from the mosquito's leg in the hands of the common people?

They don't even deserve this title, so the emperor... In fact, from the bottom of my heart, I don't put the people's possessions in my heart.

Because seizing their family property is not only troublesome, but also has great trouble, with that kung fu, he can fight with this wealthy family and the hundreds of officials and ministers above the court for hundreds of rounds!

Where will put their thoughts and ideas on this group of people, that is a real waste of time and life!

But it is this mentality that makes these wealthy families the first to discover how to better deal with the imperial power!

"Benevolence, the hearts of the people, the people... And that kindness! ”

These things are the means of the wealthy family, the means that once made Liu Xie feel ridiculous but helpless!

There is no way for the emperor to do anything directly to the people, he is not an omnipotent god, so he can't do it after a natural disaster somewhere.

He rushed there in an instant, and then with a wave of his hand, he opened the treasury to help the victims.

He can't do countless doppelgangers to take care of every person who needs to be taken care of.

He couldn't even go out of the palace at will, because every day there were countless notes and state affairs that he had to do and deal with.

But what the emperor can't do, those wealthy families can do!

For example, in the land of Xuzhou, when Langya County was filled in and ravaged, it took more than a month for this official document to go to the imperial court, and finally even the imperial court reacted on the same day, and then sent it back on the same day.

By the time I returned to Langya County, it was already two months later.

After the natural disaster is raging, what will happen in two months, what should have happened and what should not have happened has already happened.

Then even if the imperial court immediately allocates grain, even if it is transferred nearby, it will take another month.

During this time, if the common people have no one to care, they are really almost dead, and when the imperial court arrives, all they have to do is clean up the mess.

This is the helplessness of the imperial court.

And in this gap, who will save these people from fire and water?

That's the local family, of course!

But in this way, this people's heart was taken away by the wealthy family.

In addition, in addition to these righteous and bright means, there are many small means that are not visible.

They can hide the population, but this is not to force the people to do things for them, that is the lowest means, they will make the people willingly become their "family" and private property....

And they can do this, in fact, to put it simply, it is four big words.

"Excessive taxes!"

Or the harsh taxes from the imperial court....

As the so-called Han follows the Qin system, although the Han seems to be much softer than the strict Qin, this system is not.

As far as the people under Liu Xie's current rule are concerned, they have slowly begun to return to normal, not only that life has slowly returned to peace.

Even the tax has returned to normal.

But this is normal... Even if Liu Xie is "benevolent" enough, he will feel a burst of tooth ache when he hears about the taxes he has to collect every year.

Nowadays, Liu Xie's taxes are only two categories, land tax and poll tax.

Oh yes!

It's not two, it's two categories... Two categories!

In order to restore the people's livelihood, Liu Xie ordered to encourage production, reduce taxes, and open up many resources such as mountains, rivers, forests, and rivers to the people.

Compared with Cao Mengde's Tuntian Ten Taxes Five or Ten Taxes Seven, he chose fifteen taxes and one ...

Listening to this, Liu Xie is simply a living bodhisattva in troubled times.

But in fact, Liu Xie himself knows very well that what these two sides have received... Actually, it's not much different!

Because although Liu Xie can't do thirty taxes and one, in order to be able to make up for military needs, in order to be able to once again return the coins that have been given up by the people of the world to the people's cognition.

He added a surcharge of three cents per mu... He remembered that his cheap dad started with ten dollars and started with thirty dollars....

In addition, there is also the mulberry tax that has gradually begun to be levied, and of course, if this returns to normal, Liu Xie's field tax will be doubled again.

This is also the bottom line of Liu Xiehe's court and the Manchu Dynasty ministers headed by Zhao Yan.

And that's just a tiny, tiny fraction of all his taxes... Or the most basic and basic part...

Now what really supplies Liu Xie's court and the operation of the army is the bulk of this tax, the poll tax!

If you want to stabilize the situation, in addition to measuring the land, distributing it to the people and displaced people, so that they can produce with peace of mind.

The most important thing is to take stock of the population.

For example, Liu Xie, whether he wants to recruit soldiers, or conscription to repair the city fortress, or do something.

He always had to know how many people he ruled!

As the saying goes, you can cook as much as you have in a pot, and that's what it says.

And after Liu Xie reorganized the people under his rule, it was natural to need to compile a book for them.

And after doing these things, Liu Xie can collect and calculate the tax, of course, Liu Xie is now in order to protect the people under his rule, and he has not added the mouth money to it.

Even if you calculate the endowment, it has to be said that it has been reduced by more than half!

And most of this money, Liu Xieyi used grain to exchange it at an equivalent price....

Oh, and the so-called reckoning is actually two types of poll tax.

The money is the amount of money that men and women who are not yet minors are required to pay, and the arithmetic is before the contributions of the adult men and women.

At the same time, Liu Xie mentioned the money to the age of seven in one breath, which is the same as when the Han was the most lenient, and there is no need to pay any money and food under the age of seven.

In the future, if the people are really comfortable, from the age of seven to fifteen, they need to pay the mouth money, a year... Twenty bucks.

Since Dahan had such a thing, it was twenty yuan, and Liu Xie did not change this, but it was temporarily abolished.

And the calculation of the endowment.... That's a full 120 dollars a year!

This one hundred and twenty dollars is also called a count, of course... This merchant and servant, doubled....

As for the former big man, the woman was fifteen years old and never married... Five times over!

Of course, Liu Xie didn't dare to do this now, because he was afraid that those people would directly drown the newborn baby girl.

But they are also worried that the woman's refusal to marry in order to subsidize the family will lead to a decline in population, and the officials of these counties will of course come up with various solutions.

As for what this method is, Liu Xie is turning a blind eye anyway...

After all, he is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and the first thing he has to do is ... It's about taking responsibility for yourself!

Then he is responsible for the big man, as for those who don't want to get married, or don't want their daughters to marry... The emperors of all dynasties have cared about them.

Could it be that Liu Xie would care about them?

In fact, Liu Xie understands very well that anyone who has come to that position, no matter how much they care about the people, will never think only of them in the choices they make...

Because, this is the so-called big picture!

And under the rule of this overall situation, the taxes under Liu Xie's rule are not only that...
