Chapter 182: What Chu Xiong Saw and Heard

The reform of the North County is unstoppable, although spring has not yet arrived, but the reform announcement of the North County has been plastered all the cities under the jurisdiction of the North County, and there is also the army of the North County to open the way.

When the common people heard that Beijun was called the country, they were very happy, which meant that the king of Beijun had officially taken over Beijun.

However, soon the common people were not happy, because it was rumored that the king of the north wanted to take back all the land of the north county to the north king's mansion, and the people of the north county only had the right to use, not the ownership.

Land is the lifeblood of most people, and if you take back the land all at once, how can the people rest assured.

The common people walked to the place where the notice was posted, and listened carefully to the Jinyi soldiers who read out the reform measures to explain the reform measures.

In order to make the people of Beijun understand the benefits of recovering the land use right, Lu Chen used most of the army of Beijun.

In addition to the Black Cavalry and Artillery Battalions, which were not mobilized, the soldiers of Jinyiwei and Beijun were mobilized.

This reform is very important for Beijun and for Lu Chen, Lu Chen is not to build a world where everyone is equal, he is preparing for the industrial development of Beijun.

As a modern traveler, Lu Chen is well aware of the importance of land, if the problem of land annexation is not solved, a dynasty will not last long, and land annexation will seriously affect future industrial development.

For example, if you want to build a road, if it is private land, you need to spend a lot of money to compensate others, but now it is different.

According to the law, the land of the northern kingdom belongs to the king of the north, and in the future, the palace of the north will build roads, and no one can stop it, and no one dares to talk about the land in the development of what industry in the palace.

Yancheng.

Today's gate of Yancheng is the same as a few days ago, crowded with people, and under the control of the soldiers of Beijun, only one main road leading to the city is left.

If it weren't for the control of the soldiers of Beijun, I'm afraid that the main road into the city would be blocked by the common people.

At this time, a white-haired old man came to the city gate, he originally came to Yancheng by carriage, but seeing so many people around the gate of Yancheng, the old man also had a strong interest, so he let his carriage enter the city, and he came to the notice board at the city gate alone to see the excitement.

At this time, a brocade guard dressed in black and red clothes stood on the table next to the notice board with a notice and read aloud: "Under Putian, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, and the king's minister, from now on, the ownership of the land in Beijun belongs to the prince in law, and no one is allowed to sell the ownership of the land......"

After hearing Jin Yiwei's words, Chu Xiong's heart trembled.

What a big spirit!

For the first time, he heard this sentence: "Under the world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." ”

He originally thought that Emperor Xia was radical enough, after all, Emperor Xia had always been thinking about getting rid of the family, but he didn't expect that his grandson was even more radical than Emperor Xia, this was to take back all the land, and then completely cut off the roots of the family.

Although there is no big family in Beijun, but with a set of regulations from the Northern King, the possibility of giving birth to an ancient family like Daxia in the future is almost zero.

At this time, Chu Xiong's face was a little unsightly, and his inner emotions were extremely complicated, he had actually always supported his grandson as the emperor, but he didn't expect that his grandson would be more ruthless to the family.

If Emperor Xia steps down and comes to power with his grandson, I am afraid that his grandson will want to get rid of the ancient family even more than Emperor Xia.

Chu Xiong couldn't help but think, could it be that he was really wrong?

Is it the right choice for the Chu family to take refuge in the Eighth Prince?

After the Eight Princes came to power, there was a high probability that there would not be too many conflicts with the Gu family, and it would still be the Gu family and the Eight Princes who would rule the world together.

But this grandson is different, judging from these policies of his grandson, it is obvious that he is trying to prevent land annexation and prevent the formation of a family in Beijun.

Without land, the family is like a fish without water, which cannot be bounced for a few days.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiong sighed in his heart.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Chu Xiong still decided to meet his grandson.

After all, he is related to himself, and he used to call his grandfather when he was young.

At this time, the crowd began to be restless, and a common man shouted loudly: "How can the prince do this, if the land is recovered, how can we ordinary people live!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd instantly became loud and noisy.

"That's right! Those lands were all opened up by ourselves, why should they belong to the Northern Palace! ”

"The prince is too domineering! I will never give up my land. ”

"Whoever wants my land, I will fight with whomever I want!"

……

In the face of the angry people, the expression on the faces of the Jinyi guards was very calm, they had been propagandizing for several days, and the people's reactions at the beginning were like this, they were used to it.

At this time, the Jinyi guard soldier said: "Since the day of the founding of Great Xia, the land of Great Xia has belonged to His Majesty the Emperor, and now the emperor has divided the northern county to the northern king, and the land of the northern county should belong to the prince, and the prince is just strict with the decree to avoid anyone selling the land at will." ”

"The land you originally owned is still for your use, and the prince has no intention of taking back your right to use it."

"And the prince said, from now on, all agricultural taxes will be exempted, and you will receive as much grain as you grow in the future!"

"Not only that, the Beiwangfu will also distribute the seeds of high-yield grain crops in the coming year, I believe you have already heard that the Beiwangfu has a grain that can produce thousands of catties per mu, it only takes this year, and everyone present will no longer have to worry about starvation and cold."

Hearing that Jin Yiwei said that all agricultural taxes would be exempted, the people suddenly became extremely excited.

"Really? Does the prince really want to exempt all agricultural taxes? ”

"Is this policy permanent?"

"The prince can't be lying to us, right?"

"Where are we going to pick up the grain seeds from the Northern Palace?"

……

For a while, there was a lot of noise at the gate of Yancheng.

Chu Xiong squeezed out of the crowd alone, looking at the excited people from a distance.

He felt very incredible, the policy of exempting all agricultural taxes was too radical, and it was no less than using the law to give land ownership to the king of the north.

Is this his grandson's own idea, or does Emperor Xia mean?

As a traditional emperor, although Emperor Xia hated the ancient family, he would not have thought of such a policy as exempting all agricultural taxes.

Agricultural tax is an important source of income for the national treasury, if the Great Xia Dynasty has no agricultural tax, the Great Xia Dynasty is afraid that it will not even be able to pay the officials' salaries.

Originally, Chu Xiong was thinking about whether it was possible for his grandson to really be Emperor Xia's pawn, but as soon as this policy came out, he instantly felt that his grandson had nothing to do with Emperor Xia.

In the future, when the common people see that Beijun is exempted from agricultural tax, they will definitely think, they are all from Daxia, and Beijun is exempt from agricultural tax, so why don't they exempt from agricultural tax.

This will cause turmoil in the situation in Great Xia, and in the long run, there will inevitably be dissatisfaction among the common people, so Emperor Xia will not allow this kind of policy to appear in Great Xia.

At this time, Chu Xiong's mind was full of questions, and he felt that he was afraid that only after seeing his grandson, those doubts in his heart could be solved.

Then he stopped and walked straight towards the city gate.

At this moment, a richly decorated carriage passed by Chu Xiong's side, a gust of wind blew, the carriage curtain was blown open, Chu Xiong's eyes happened to look at the carriage, and he also happened to see the woman in the carriage.

He didn't know who the woman in the carriage was, but he instantly judged from the momentum that the woman was a grandmaster.

After the carriage passed by him, Chu Xiong frowned as he looked at the picture behind the carriage.

"Xuanyue Palace? Could it be that the woman in the car is the palace master of Xuanyue Palace? ”

"It seems that the situation in North County is even more chaotic than I thought."
