Chapter 100
"Zhang Rang, do you know the consequences of talking nonsense above the court?"

"With such a thief that can't be eliminated and then quickly recovers, are you going to put my big man in danger?"

When he said no, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and everyone wanted to chop him with their knives.

"Quiet, let the father not finish talking, so it's like this, get rid of the thief?"

"Who can get rid of you?"

Most of the time, Liu Hong just cared about having fun and didn't care about anything. Now his mind seemed to be enlightened again, and he made everyone speechless with one sentence.

I don’t even think about whose fault it is that the imperial court failed to send troops, causing rebellions everywhere.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters can be overcome, but no one can overcome stupidity.

"Father, if you have anything to say, just say it."

As soon as he pissed off the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, Liu Hong turned his head and became amiable again. He believed that Zhang Rang could solve this problem for him.

"It's Your Majesty."

"All the ministers have also read the report, so did Zhao Tai plunder the people and make people lose their lives?"

"Is there any place with tens of thousands of troops and cholera except Changshan County?"

"Not only did he not do it, but he also managed the Qingming Festival to relieve the worries of our great Han Dynasty. How can he talk about stealing the country?"

Zhang Rang picked up the good ones, but didn't talk about the capture of the imperial city.

After insulting the minister, Zhang Rang turned around respectfully and saluted Liu Hong.

"Your Majesty, even though Zhao Tai was at fault, he has outstanding talents. He did not plunder, kill and plunder with force. It must be because he has a heart for a big man."

"If you don't follow the minister's plan to command security, you will be my subject from now on, and the rebellion will disappear."

"I also ask His Majesty to issue a decree for peace."

It's definitely not okay to be slapped in the face, otherwise he will be a fool. No matter how good he said before, he doesn't support his point of view now, which is even more ridiculous.

Anyway, the idea he holds now is that the imperial court is no longer able to conquer, so Zhao Tai has the ability to make him one of his own.

Moreover, there will be no major problems after Zhao'an, and the reputation is also tenable.

The rebellion that made the heavens angry and the people resentful, and the lives of the people were ruined, was definitely not in the ranks of Zhao'an. After this kind of rebellion against Zhao'an, the prestige of the court would be greatly reduced.

Zhao Tai is such a good person. Since he became powerful, he has not caused chaos everywhere and has not made the people complain.

Even if he captured a county, he managed it well. Except for calling himself the Black Mountain Rebel Army, he himself didn't even give himself the title of general.

Zhang Rang didn't believe that he didn't have the Han court in his heart.

The highest state of persuading others is to deceive oneself, Zhang Rang is more and more reasonable.

As soon as Zhaoan's strategy came out, it seemed as if a new door had been opened for Liu Hong.

That's right. If you can't defeat him again and again, and you can't do anything to defeat the other party, then if you make him one of your own, won't the rebellion be gone?
After the world is peaceful, no one will bother him anymore. They are all his subjects, so there is no rebellion.

It is typical to join if you can't beat it. As for problems after Zhao'an, there can be no problems, as long as the world is peaceful.

"What my father said is reasonable, then I will leave this matter to my father to quell the rebellion for me as soon as possible."

Liu Hongman's women are full of brains, and they don't care when they hear that there is a solution, as long as it can make him enjoy himself.

It was as if it wasn't him who was furious and furious before.

3 minutes of heat?Hasn't it been two or three days?More than 3 minutes.

"Retreat."

Liu Hong waved his sleeves, regardless of what the ministers below said.

The court meeting ended amidst the sound of His Majesty's failure to destroy the foundation of the great man.

Listening to the noise of you people, how can there be beautiful voices in the palace.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

After Zhang Rang finished his ceremony, he looked at all the officials in the court, snorted disdainfully, and chased after Liu Hong.

These people don't understand the emperor's mind, they can solve the problem and please the emperor, they have to be close ministers of the emperor.

Not long after, the imperial decree of Zhao'an from Luoyang to Changshan, followed by everything, went to Changshan under the guidance of Xiaohuangmen.

Zhao Tai didn't know about these things, he was discussing things with a group of subordinates in the Zhending County Government Office.

And Zhending was changed by Zhao Tai to the military and political head center of Changshan County, that is, the prefect's mansion, or the same existence as the prefect's mansion.

"Now that the counties in Changshan have been brought under our control, how about the situation in each counties, is there anything wrong?"

Although it took Changshan County without any effort, there were more things to do than before, and there were more things Zhao Tai needed to ask about.

"There is nothing wrong with it. Although there are county officials who leave their posts, they are only a small number. Even without knowing what Minggong's plan is, the officials are much more diligent in their work."

"How about the soldiers in each county?"

Before Zhao Tai took action against all classes, his attitude of not responding to anything was like a sword hanging over everyone's heads.

Successors have always been inseparable from them, no matter what, as long as Zhao Tai doesn't do anything to them, it will be exhausting.

At the same time, be diligent in doing things, let Zhao Tai see their usefulness, which is equivalent to reminding Zhao Tai.

Look, we manage the territory for you, isn't it very handy?
But if you make us unhappy, who else can you rely on without us.

Serious work is to make Zhao Tai happy?Holding Zhao Tai?

That's purely thinking too much, and doing things seriously is to highlight their role, and let Zhao Tai know that without them, he can't play well.

Visible weapons are not terrible, what is terrible is that you can see the reflection of weapons in the dark and hide in the dark.

Even when a knife is stretched out to cut someone, you don't know where the knife came from.

This kind of hard-working, in fact, is a means of highlighting the sense of presence and threatening, Zhao Tai understood it and didn't take it seriously.

The initiative is in his hands. As long as these people are not forced into a hurry, they will not dare to make any obvious small moves.

What he cares most about is the army. Whether it is now or in the future, the army is the strongest and last hole card.

"The Duke of Ming ordered General Han to station his troops in Tang Dynasty, and General Gao to station troops in Zhao County to guard the main roads in and out of Changshan. This matter has been settled."

"Only General Zhou is ordered to sit in the rear. It will take time to rectify the soldiers in each county, but I think it won't take long to complete the rectification."

Internal affairs and civil affairs can be handled by existing officials first. Only county captains and officials in charge of soldiers in a county must be Zhao Tai's people.

And there are many key positions except the county captain, Zhao Tai has placed the group of official trainees in them.

"Is there enough money, food, equipment, etc. in the treasury of Changshan County?"

Speaking of this, Qi Zhou's expression turned a little ugly, the treasury was not completely empty, but pitifully small.

We can barely keep the counties running, but it's too difficult to pay for the military.

If you want money but no money, if you want food but no food, you can barely eat enough, let alone recruit new troops and train soldiers.

It was at this time that Qi Zhou discovered that training the army every day in Montenegro before allowed the common people to work according to their work to accumulate work points, which can be exchanged for food and other supplies.

There is no need to worry about food and cloth at all. Those are the days when he feels the most relaxed.

Comparing it now, life in Changshan County is not much better than that of a homeless man.

The emptiness of the treasury was something that Zhao Tai had long expected. Otherwise, how could the people be so happy when Zhao Tai introduced the new policy that they would not even have trouble.

Is the policy very advanced?It's actually quite obvious.

That is light corvee and thin tax.

The tax system of the Han Dynasty was actually not complicated.

For example, the land tax was implemented at [-] taxes and [-] taxes. At the end of the Han Dynasty, [-] taxes were fixed.

For example, if you harvest [-] catties of grain, you only need to take out one catty to pay taxes.

Very low, so what if there is no taxation for more than ten years?
After all this, why do the common people still live in such misery, and even sell their land to become slaves, without food.

In addition to the reason for the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is also because of the heavy labor and military service system, as well as other taxes, which are the reasons for the current chaos in the world.

First of all, men's military service was a compulsory national obligation in the Han Dynasty, that is, every man had to serve as a soldier when he reached the right age, and no one could escape.

It's no big deal that all the people are soldiers, but if the soldiers have no money and have to pay for it, that's not the case.

If you go to the capital to serve in the military, it will be very comfortable and the treatment will be very good.

The second type is the border area, where you only need to stay for three days to return to the border.

However, due to inconvenient transportation, the round-trip time is more than half a year. During the period, the round-trip travel expenses, board and lodging are at their own expense, and the court is not responsible.

In ancient farming society, men were an important labor force. Not to mention paying back and forth, it also affected self-cultivation.

The third type is to perform military service in the local area. Although it is still a disadvantage, it is relatively better.

But there is still forced labor. Every citizen has to set aside one month every year to do all kinds of voluntary labor for the country unconditionally.

It is purely compulsory, the state does not spend a penny, and all expenses are borne by the people themselves.

You thought this was the end?Is that what military service is like?Everything else is fine except the second one?

But you must know that this military service is cycled from the age of 23 to the age of 56 before it ends.

farming?Where is the time to farm.

There is also poll tax, which is levied on minors, called oral tax.

One is collected from adults, which is called Fu.

How old to start receiving that depends on the meaning of those in power.

In addition, if a woman is unmarried between the ages of fifteen and thirty, she will be charged five times the tax.

Single to pay taxes.

The head tax is basically paid from the age of seven, but when it comes to Liu Hong, it starts to be collected from the age of one, and the people dare not even have children.

Although the land tax is low, but with the addition of various taxes and military service, how can I survive.

If you can't pay the tax, you will become an official slave and work as a coolie for the government yamen. Not to mention the poor treatment, you have to pay double the poll tax.

It would be better to sell yourself as a slave, and the powerful landowners would pay twice the poll tax.

If you sell your body, you have no freedom, and you have to live a lot, but at least you can survive.

Where did the private soldiers come from, and where did the land annexation come from? It was not forced.

So sometimes it is not a problem with the aristocratic family, but a problem with the country.

Zhao Tai did not expand the army, but the military service system was changed.

Labor service is not voluntary labor. You are paid. Even if it is not a lot, at least it cannot make anyone lose money.

The oral tax was raised to be handed in at the age of ten, and it was stipulated that the age of adulthood was 17. If these things are changed, the common people will not laugh.

It is difficult to say that the official administration is clear, but it is actually very simple for the ancient people.

At the time when Zhao Tai was carrying out major reforms, and just waiting for the army in the counties to be reorganized, they would take the aristocratic families and aristocratic families to abolish the class system and break through land annexation.

The court's Zhao'an team has arrived.

 This chapter talks about a lot of things, if you think it’s watery, I’ll just mention it in one stroke in the future, try to be as simple as possible, and write it down…….

  In addition, thanks to the readers: "Hellcat", "Crazy Flow" for their rewards.
