Distribution and exile are not a concept.

To many, exile and distribution seemed like a punishment.

In fact, in ancient times, exile and allotment were directed against two groups of people.

Most of the exiled prisoners are family members of those who have committed minor crimes or have been convicted of serious crimes.

These people are exiled to remote areas to serve in labor, and most of them have a time limit, even if they are indefinite, they have the opportunity to spend money and do activities to go back.

The distribution is different, most of these people are death row prisoners who have had their sentences commuted, or some serious crimes are serious felons.

These people were all unscrupulous people, and when they were assigned, they were tattooed on their faces to indicate the reason for their crimes, and then they were sent to remote areas to do heavy hard work, and their status was basically reduced to slavery.

These prisoners are divided into lifelong and permanent.

Lifelong means that the convict is required to serve hard labor until death in a remote area.

As for permanence, it means that their children and grandchildren will be slaves for generations and will always have to serve in remote areas.

So, the distribution is better, and those who are exiled are really miserable.

With the determination of the punishment, batch after batch of wealthy merchants, families, and officials were involved, and all of them were arrested, fined, and the house was confiscated, the exiled were exiled, and the distribution was distributed to show the punishment of the imperial court.

Meanwhile.

A whipping method is in full swing across the country.

And the treasure money to offset taxes is also in the process of publicity.

The whole country was boiling, and the people were all cheering.

A whip law directly simplified many taxes and even forced labor.

For the people at the bottom, there are a lot fewer procedures, which means that there are fewer processes that are deducted, and it is not so easy for officials to make things difficult for the people by virtue of the "final interpretation power".

In addition, the treasure money that the people have been unable to spend can suddenly be deducted from taxes, and it is still deducted at the original price, not according to the value of the depreciated treasure banknote.

This means that the value of the treasure money in the hands of all the people has suddenly doubled, and a small fortune has been made! What a bonus!

As for some wealthy households, before this happened, they had a lot of treasure money in their hands, and suddenly a wave of direct riches.

Of course, there are examples of the opposite.

Songjiang Fujo.

In a mansion.

Master Huang looked at the newspaper in his hand, and couldn't believe it for a while, he paced left and right, and couldn't help muttering: "A whip law, the tax is unified, and the treasure money can finally be used to pay taxes?" Can it also be used to deduct forced labor? The latest decree ......"

"Doesn't it mean that the value of those treasure notes in my Huang family's treasury is going to double directly?"

"This is a great thing!"

Master Huang hurriedly summoned the housekeeper, "Call Mr. Treasury!" ”

After a while, Master Huang saw the treasury and hurriedly asked, "How many treasure money are there in the treasury?" ”

When Mr. Treasury heard this, he said proudly: "Back to the master, there is no one of the treasure banknotes, and all of them have been exchanged for spirit stones and spirit silver ......."

"What?!" Master Huang, who was originally very happy, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard such an answer, and said in disbelief: "What about my treasure money? What the hell did you go?! ”

Mr. Treasury was originally very proud, but seeing that the master's expression suddenly became so ugly, he also realized that something was wrong, he hurriedly shook the pot and said: "This matter has nothing to do with me, master, how can I have the right to transfer the treasure money in the treasury?" These banknotes were arranged for exchange by Madame......"

"This ...... This ruined!! Master Huang gritted his teeth and asked, "How did you exchange it?" ”

"The treasure note of one thousand spirit stones was exchanged for three hundred spirit stones, because the other party gave a large amount, so it was ......," the treasury said cautiously.

"Ahh Master Huang only felt that his chest was tight, as if something was blocked, and he was extremely uncomfortable for a while, and he couldn't help but shout miserably: "My treasure money!" ”

"Sir??" When Mr. Treasury saw this scene, he was stupid, and hurriedly said: "Master, this treasure should not be held for a long time!" ”

"That's before!" Master Huang said uncomfortably: "Now that the imperial court has issued a decree, the treasure banknotes can pay taxes and deduct forced labor, and the price of treasure banknotes will rise in the future!" ”

"No, chase our treasure money back!"

"Even if you break the contract, you have to chase it back!"

The previous treasure banknotes have been depreciating, even if the official decree stipulates that the treasure banknotes must be traded, but everyone's private behavior is impossible to directly prohibit by virtue of a paper ban, and no one likes this treasure banknote that will continue to depreciate.

Therefore, whoever gets the treasure money will basically sell it immediately.

But with the implementation of the decree, the treasure money can be used to pay taxes, and the treasure money can also be used to offset forced labor, which directly makes the value of the treasure money rise rapidly!

Seeing that those treasure notes were about to return to their original prices, countless people rushed to exchange the treasure money, hoping to get ahead of those who didn't know the news yet.

For example, a butcher in Songjiang Province.

He listened intently as the officials announced the latest policies.

When I heard that the treasure money could pay taxes normally according to the original price, and that the treasure money could be exempted from forced labor, I realized that this was a good opportunity to make money!

The king butcher turned around and left, immediately went home, and asked his wife for the spirit stone and spirit silver, and wanted to buy the treasure money!

This behavior was opposed by the butcher's wife, Zhang, at that time.

Zhang covered his money box and scolded angrily: "Are you crazy?!" Usually give you treasure money, you don't give them a good face, either lack a pound or two, or earn some discount money for treasure money, and now you actually exchange spirit stones for treasure money?! ”

"Oops! Of course I'm not crazy, the court has issued the latest decree, and in the future, the treasure money can pay taxes, and the treasure money can be used to exempt from forced labor, and the price of the treasure money will definitely rise in price in the future, and it will rise a lot! The king butcher hurriedly said.

"Huh?" Zhang was stunned for a moment: "Really? ”

"Of course it's true!"

"But...... Is it really okay for you to do that? ”

"What a woman's opinion! Hesitant to make any money! Open it up for me!! "The king butcher was in a hurry and wanted to push his wife away.

"Stop!" Zhang suddenly shouted: "Think about it, since the imperial court has announced this news, why won't it guard against someone who behaves like you?" If you do, you'll probably be punished! ”

"And how will those who have been exchanged for treasure money by you hate you after knowing the news of the imperial court? Haven't you provoked so many enemies for no reason? ”

"Let's open the door to do business, even if we don't make friends, we can't offend so many people."

"Even if this is my woman's opinion, but you can follow me, let's not make this kind of ill-gotten gain!"

Listening to his wife's words, Wang Butcher suddenly hesitated, thought for a while, but still put down his hand, sighed and said, "Okay! Then we won't make this money! ”

"Husband doesn't have to be so unwilling, as long as we live a good life and don't worry about food and clothing, why bother making that bad money?" Seeing this, Zhang immediately said with a smile.

……

When the decree was issued, many people took the opportunity to buy treasure money.

The behavior of these people is also speculative!

But compared to the large-scale acquisition of treasure banknotes just before the decree was issued, it is not so serious, it is more clever, and I want to play an information gap.

Instead of being severely punished, the men were given verbal warnings, educated, and told them to return the money they had purchased, and fined them as punishment.

After all, the nature of this is not too bad, and the scope is not too large, so there is no need to raid the house and exile.

When these people returned the treasure money, they were very unhappy, after all, this was their hard work to buy back, people who don't know the policy are in the minority after all, and it is not easy to cheat the treasure money out of these people's pockets!

I finally made some money, but I had to return it and pay a fine...... Is there any reason for it?

But.

When these people knew about the families, officials, and nobles who had been robbed and killed, and sent into exile, they were all frightened!

Because they act as if they are doing the same!

If the imperial court really ordered them to be investigated, wouldn't they all be sent into exile?

It is inevitable that everyone will have the happiness of the rest of their lives!

It's just a matter of returning the treasure money and paying the fine!

This penalty is already small!

And after hearing these news, the king butcher was immediately glad that he did not go to buy the treasure money, once he did those things, not only to offend people, but also to return the treasure money and pay a fine! It is even possible to raid the house and exile, which is even more terrifying!

Wang Butcher couldn't help but sigh to his wife: "At the beginning, Mrs. persuaded right, it was my villain's opinion, and the lady is not a woman's opinion, but a deep understanding of righteousness!" ”

Zhang said with a smile: "If the husband can listen to the persuasion, it is already very good, and it is normal for everyone to want to make money." ”

"In the future, the treasure money and spirit stones will be the same, and even more popular, this policy is really benefiting the people."

……

However, as long as reform is carried out, countless interests will inevitably be involved.

Since ancient times, there have been very few people who have changed the law and died well, and this is the reason.

The reform of the tax law will touch the interests of many people, causing them to do everything possible to obstruct it, and Fang Keqin was forced to embark on this road helplessly, and he could only go one way to the dark.

Originally, Fang Keqin was the head of the Qingliu civil officials, and his reputation couldn't be better.

But now, his black material appeared one after another, and some unwarranted black material was dug up.

Basins of dirty water continued to splash on his body one after another, and even many imperial historians impeached Fang Keqin, saying that he used the tax reform to commit corruption and bribery, hoping to be punished.

With the progress of a whip method, a pair of invisible big hands wanted to press Fang Keqin to death!

To put it bluntly, it is to see that Fang Keqin is alone, weak and weak, and easy to bully!

These people still have illusions, thinking that as long as Fang Keqin is removed, this tax reform may stop there!

But they obviously greatly underestimated the emperor's determination!

With the continuous implementation of government decrees.

Fang Keqin encountered a lot of difficulties and troubles.

These difficulties have never been encountered by Zhang Juzheng.

After all, Zhang Juzheng is in a high position, under one person, above ten thousand, when such an existence is on the road of reform without hesitation, the resistance will of course be smaller.

This is something that Su Che owes to consider.

When he learned about this situation, he immediately reprimanded the imperial history who did not know the truth, and did not punish Fang Keqin in the gossip.

Su Che knows very well that changing generals in battle is a taboo for soldiers, since this matter has been handed over to Fang Keqin, no matter how many voices smear him, he doesn't care about it, just trust him boldly!

Therefore, not only did he not punish him, but he also rewarded him, Su Che added Fang Keqin as the crown prince, gave the Son of Heaven a sword, beheaded any lawless ministers, and also gave him a guard forbidden army, which can be commanded at will!

With the decree issued, almost everyone saw the emperor's determination to reform!

When Fang Keqin learned the news, he was immediately moved to tears, and bowed his head in the direction of Ying Tianfu!

"Your Majesty Shengming!!"

was forced to embark on the road of tax reform, and Fang Keqin was more or less reluctant in his heart.

However, with the progress of tax reform, Fang Keqin clearly realized the benefits of reform, which is not only a policy for the benefit of the country, but also a policy for the benefit of the people.

But......

There are also a lot of people who have been offended!

First of all, the land was cleared, and the taxes were paid equally, so that the hidden fields had nowhere to hide, and the tenants had nowhere to hide, and those landlords were fined a lot of money with the issuance of the policy! This offended almost all the landlords of the Ming Dynasty.

Although in the early days of Hongwu, land annexation was not so serious, but this policy directly restricted the development of the landlords, how could they not hate it to the core.

In addition, the treasure money is levied on the mu, and the official is closed.

In the past, the collection of land taxes was basically levy, although it was calculated in monetary terms on the surface, but in fact it was paid in kind.

But with the implementation of a whip law, all the levies were changed to treasure money, and all the rest of the Tian Fu were changed to treasure money except for the Linggu eaten by the royal family.

This not only saves the cost of storage and transportation, but also reduces a lot of "loss", and at the same time makes conscription transparent, which directly reduces the gray income of many officials.

This is equivalent to offending all the officials in this area, making them eager to peel off Fang Keqin's skin and bones.

A whip law policy is good for the court and the people, but it offends the officials who control the right to speak, as well as those landlord groups.

If you want to implement it smoothly, it is really difficult!

Fang Keqin knows this clearly.

In the face of many difficulties and the countless dirty water, Fang Keqin gritted his teeth and persevered, constantly implementing the decree, and finally achieved some results!

But he was worried that the emperor would recall him and make these efforts come to naught! After all, there are too many people to smear him!

However, what Fang Keqin didn't expect was that the emperor not only did not recall him, but gave him unconditional trust, not only added an official, but also gave him the Sword of the Son of Heaven, and gave him a guard army, so that he could rest assured and boldly implement the new policy!!

"This eternal policy, an unprecedented government, benefits the country and the people, how can those insects be harmed?" Fang Keqin held the sword of the Son of Heaven, word by word, and said with a firm gaze: "I will live up to my mission and thoroughly implement this policy!" Let Your Majesty see my results!! ”

"I'm Daming, I'm going to be thriving!"

Time has passed, Fang Keqin has already changed from more or less reluctant at the beginning, to a loyal executor of this whip law, even if his innocence is splashed black, he must set up this eternal strategy!!
