Dongyi City, Jianlu.

Si Gu Jian looked at Yun Zhilan with his head lowered: "Why did you come back?" ”

Yun Zhilan was silent for a moment and raised his head slightly.

"Qingguo unilaterally breached the contract, with the two great masters Ye Liuyun and Zhao Yun here, I have no ability to refuse."

Looking around at Jian and staring at him, Ye Liuyun was just that, Zhao Yun was a person who made him suffer a lot that day.

Since Qingguo did not intend to abide by the agreement, although Yun Zhilan was his first apprentice, it was only natural that he would be driven away.

"That's it, it's useless."

He let out a low sigh and glanced at the map on his desk, especially where Kyungkook's Kyoto was located.

After a moment, he burst out laughing.

"I didn't expect you hypocritical guy to end up like this, it's funny."

However, thinking of the young man who is in the ascendancy of Qingguo now, even he also feels a terrible pressure.

He knew about Kuhe's serious injury, knew the feat of the other party's sword pressing on Beijing that day, and naturally knew that the other party rushed thousands of miles to gather the giant sword of Tongtian with thousands of miles of cloud qi to seize the throne.

Although he didn't know the details, it didn't prevent him from knowing how powerful Li Chengqian was.

It was a kind of power that he even looked up to.

Ever since he stepped into the Grand Master, he had never looked up to anyone in this world.

According to the current situation, the once three-legged pattern has obviously been completely broken.

Dongyi City, which has been guarded by him for many years, is afraid that it may not be able to continue to have a place in this world.

Even the mighty Northern Qi was already in jeopardy.

"Gotta go see an old friend."

He sighed softly and glanced at Yun Zhilan.

"After I leave, you will sit in Dongyi City, if Qingguo has any request, even if you want me to bow down to Dongyi, you can agree.

Everything, I'll do it when I get back. ”

Yun Zhilan's expression tightened, and he responded in a deep voice, a gust of wind blew, and when he raised his head again, there was no longer the figure of the sword in front of him.

……

Time is a half moon, Kyoto Taiwa Hall.

Li Chengqian looked at the file on the table and showed a look of satisfaction.

"He is worthy of being an experienced minister, and he really has some ability to do things."

In just half a month, the entire population of Kyoto was thoroughly inventoried with 1.37 million people, and such efficiency is naturally worthy of praise.

At the same time, the inventory of the fields has also come to an end.

The approximate figures have also been compared.

Even in Kyoto, more than half of the population does not have any land in their names, and even if they do, it is mostly about a few acres, and about 1 percent of the people own more than 50 percent of the land.

This is an extremely frightening number.

According to this inference, in many places in Qingguo, that small group of people may even occupy more than 70% of the land.

Qingguo has only been established for more than 100 years, and land annexation has reached such a terrible point.

It's shocking.

Li Chengqian exhaled softly.

"Pass on the order, so that the Prime Minister can continue."

The father-in-law on the side responded respectfully and hurriedly passed the order.

Li Chengqian's eyes showed a little cold.

Checking the population and acres is just the beginning, and the next tax adjustment is the time to really cut the flesh.

The first is the agricultural tax.

It inherits the core idea that the less land, the lower the tax, and the more land, the higher the tax.

From the lowest tax of fifty to the highest of fifty and forty-five, it was directly cut on the main artery of the landlord class.

The ultimate goal is naturally to force those landlords to sell their land, let all the land be nationalized, and then distribute it uniformly according to the situation.

Step by step, the privatization of land will be eradicated, and land will be redivided.

Then there is the commercial tax, which is also very simple, and even the lower the income is not taxed, but the higher the income, the higher the tax ratio.

Finally, there is the property tax, which is what kills those noble classes.

Once implemented, the wealth of the entire upper class in Kyoto will be directly reduced by half.

His three knives can be described as the main artery of the knife, and he is ruthless.

The rebellion was doomed, but to put it bluntly, these people, out of the million population of Kyoto, were only a minority.

Moreover, all their wealth is carried with blood.

The crimes of many can even be said to be too numerous to mention.

When this order was issued, Li Chengqian was ready to kill on a large scale.

Of course, the impact of this order must be huge, especially since these people may not be very large, but the influence is extremely huge, and the industries under his command are all over all walks of life in Kyoto.

If one is not good, it can cause chaos.

Therefore, he had already organized the Taxation Bureau and the Price Supervision and Administration Bureau in advance.

spent a lot of achievement points and recruited several legends such as Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui, Fan Li, Shen Wanqian, and Lü Buwei.

Now, it's time for them to shine in this era.

……

"Dad, something is wrong, the court is going to be a bandit!"

A young man rushed into the study with a blank piece of paper full of small letters.

In the study, an old man with a white beard and hair, his face was full of wrinkles and his eyes were dark, but he had an extraordinary bearing.

He snorted coldly: "I have been messy all day long, how can this huge family business be handed over to you with confidence?" ”

The young man wanted to cry without tears and said, "Dad, what about the family business, you can take a look." ”

The old man took the paper from the young man's hand, and after only one glance, his always calm complexion changed instantly.

When I saw the end, my eyes were even darker, and I almost wanted to faint.

"How so? How dare that? This is to be the enemy of the world! ”

He grabbed the young hand, and the green tendons on the thin palm burst.

"Is this a fake? Where does this decree come from? ”

The young man gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and said urgently: "The imperial court has posted a notice, and at this time, our family has copied it, and it says that we should go to the tax bureau to pay the outstanding tax within three days, otherwise we will ......." ”

The old man said angrily: "What else? ”

The young man's voice was low: "All over the house." ”

The old man's eyes were dark again, and with a bang, he passed out on the table.

"Daddy, daddy, wake up, you haven't said what we're going to do, daddy, daddy?"

Such a scene has appeared in many places in Kyoto, but most of the people seem to be very calm.

Because according to the decree, many of them don't even have to pay a penny of taxes.

Whether it is agricultural tax, commercial tax or property tax, it is necessary to meet a certain amount before it can be paid.

Many people work hard to get the lowest amount of tax they pay, and this amount of tax is even lower than what they had to pay before.

For a while, hundreds of people were chanting for the Holy Monarch, and most of them even had the intention of watching the excitement.

The rich and noble family who used to be extremely envious in their eyes have now become like a water dog, how interesting is it?

You must know that the matter of hating the rich has been no different throughout the ages.

But there is also a way to so-called wealth, you can have money, but you can spend more money on a meal than I earn in a year or even a few years.

The wealth gap is so large that it is not a matter of jealousy and hatred of the rich.

And now, a very simple question is placed on the heads of those nobles.

Money or death?
