From Soldier To Emperor

Tan Ding Rumu was originally a fundamental tax reform for the Han gentry in the Western Regions. Even if the gentry of this era is engaged in business, which family does not have a pile of land?

However, Richard first put the private household armed forces controlled by the Han gentry under the control of the government through the reform of the local garrison.

Although the local garrison has joined a large number of gentry family children to serve as middle and low-level officers, the high-ranking officers in the local garrison are still loyal to the government and are the courtiers of King Richard!

The number of officers released from the gentry's children is used more for bribery, rather than really handing over the local military power to the gentry class. Otherwise, what is the difference with cultivating small warlords in your own home?

The gentry class of the Han Chinese is no longer as good as before Richard unified the Western Regions, they don't have any direct-use Jia Ding weapons!

The use of the local garrison to **** caravans and fight against the harassment of scattered green-skinned beasts did allow the Han gentry to reduce their own expenses, but at the same time it also virtually handed the armed forces managed by the Han gentry to the hands of the local government. .

Nowadays, because of the various interest temptations of the municipal committee, the local Han gentry class has polarized. Those big landlord gentry who own a lot of land and whose family income is 90% of the main income are on the land rent. The reform policy is opposed in all directions.

Once this reform is implemented, they will have to sell their fields!

Otherwise, with such a large piece of land, paying taxes alone can make the wealthy big landlord families decline, and at a very fast rate!

On the other hand, those small landlords with small land scales, as well as the landlord and gentry class engaged in business, did not strongly oppose this reform measure.

The most important thing is that the increased tax revenue will allow many gentry who are members of the municipal committee to receive more ‘bonuses’.

Under Richard Richard's rule, local taxes were divided among the municipal committee, the local government, and the central government. The share obtained by the local government was mainly used to pay official salaries and maintain the expenses of the local public system such as the patrol house.

The municipal committee is mainly responsible for participating in politics and deliberation, and supporting the local garrison.

The local government cannot intervene in the affairs of the local garrison, nor does it need to contribute money to the local garrison. The local garrison is nominally directly loyal to Richard, but in fact it is mainly supported by the municipal committee.

This is why the municipal council can enjoy the protection of the local garrison force free of charge.

For the local garrison corps that are directly related to their own commercial interests and personal safety, the members of the municipal committee are of course willing to spend a lot of money on arming and training, so that the local garrison can always maintain front-line combat capabilities.

The local garrison is the main expenditure item of the municipal committee. In addition, the extra tax is shared by the municipal committee’s own family members.

Because of the support of the local garrison, the municipal committee can share a full 50% of the local tax!

The remaining 40% are local governments, and the central government actually only collects 10% of the tax symbolically...

However, this is a tax of pure income. Under this sharing system, the central government hardly needs to allocate a penny to maintain the local government.

And Richard’s Central Army’s Han soldiers were awarded military merits to the land as the army’s salary. As long as they were able to eat and manage, the auxiliary army composed of Semu and Tufan prisoners of war received extremely low salaries, and the army’s salary was not as high as that of the garrison...

The most capable system of Richard's troops is not even a penny!

Therefore, even if the central government does not collect much tax, Richard can easily spend it.

It can be said that the local income obtained by the municipal committee is quite high, and the members of the municipal committee have a very contented life. Naturally, many landlords and gentry will not be pushed back by the reform.

They also don't want to lose such a good system!

The municipal committee has reaped the hearts of most of the local gentry class, making them almost to the point of sharing the world with Richard. A large number of concessions will naturally make the gentry class more loyal, and only the big landlord gentry class whose fundamental interests have been touched cannot. accept.

Under the policy reforms of the central government, the big landlord gentry class has also become the fat in the eyes of those gentry who have little land or whose main interests are in the commercial field.

Tan Ding Ru Mu gave them a legal basis for the fair and honest exploitation of their colleagues!

Therefore, without Li Cha's action, the gentry class of big landlords colluded in private, intending to use the relationship of the local garrison and the serfs in the fields to set off a large-scale uprising. A large number of prosecutors of the Han gentry immediately appeared. !

The group divided by interest in the municipal committee immediately launched an encirclement and suppression of the big landlord and gentry class. The two sides first began to compete for the control of the local garrison. After all, the middle and low-level officers in it were the children of various gentry families. The soldiers themselves were the original gentry families. Servant guard!

It’s just ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ this kind of competition is very unfair to the big landlord gentry class, because senior officers in the local garrison corps who are loyal to the central government cannot help the big landlord gentry class who intends to rebel...

If all the low- and middle-level officers of the local garrison rebel together, the high-level officers may instantly become commanders of bare rods and be imprisoned or even killed.

But now the mid- and low-level officers are fighting over and under. The high-ranking officers just issue a few more military orders and find some reason to punish a group of people.

What's more, in the reform of Tan Ding Rumu, the field army and auxiliary army that Richard had already prepared also entered the city in large numbers, and cooperated with the patrol room to closely supervise the Han Chinese gentry families in the town, especially the big landlord gentry class. Object!

As a result, under the infighting of the local Han gentry class and the joint suppression of the Central Army, many of the weak-powered big landlord gentry class were betrayed by their own people, and they ended up in ransacking their families.

In the home ransacking, the victors of the gentry class in the municipal committee did not feel the sorrow at all, but were more active than the Central Army.

Because of the demise of a group of big landlord gentry-class families, the fixed positions of officers in the local garrison have become vacant. At the same time, the local government and municipal committees can also share the property obtained by looting their homes!

The most important thing is that the gentry family in the municipal committee suddenly lost a group of competitors of the same level or even stronger in the local area!

Although this act of sucking blood on the bodies of dead colleagues is not authentic, under the official banner, their interest in sharing the fruits of victory is very high!

Even if a small number of long-term gentry families see that something is wrong, they can't stop this general trend.
