Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

The little emperor shook his head, looking to the north, he seemed to be able to clearly see that the towering figure who taught him by example and held the sky with one hand, was combing the whole world drastically, with heads falling to the ground, blood flowing like rivers, that corrupted figure The world is becoming more and more stable.

Is it one year, or two years?

That invincible Bingfeng will probably step into the south of the Yangtze River under the will of that towering figure!

This time, where can he escape to?

overseas?

This time, will there be a chance?

How can the navy escape after repeated defeats?How to escape?

Chapter 528 The Duke's Conspiracy

At the end of the year and deep winter, the capital city has already been stained with silver.

The end of the new year is approaching, and busy figures can be seen everywhere in this majestic imperial palace, decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the atmosphere of the New Year has already appeared in this capital city.

In the hallway in front of the Qing Palace, the emperor stands in fox fur. In the snow in front of the palace, all the princes and princesses are playing around.

Beside the Son of Heaven, there are the two dukes of Daheng, Xu Feng and Zhao Wu.

"Over there, have you ever heard of it?"

The emperor watched the playful prince and princess, and said casually.

Xu Feng and Zhao Wu looked at each other, and then Xu Feng bowed to the emperor: "I have heard about it."

After finishing speaking, Xu Feng pondered for a while, and then said: "The dispute between the North and the South has been completely torn apart. Shi Bangyao, a hard-working minister, was either demoted or dismissed, and those who were still in the puppet Ming Dynasty were also squeezed out. What right to speak..."

"In the army, it's also a fierce battle,"

"Local and imperial courts, factions fighting among generals..."

"Before, there was a incident where a false general gave our army a tip-off to harm the friendly army..."

"On the side of the navy, Li Dingguo has done a good job. He has dispatched naval forces to attack many times, which has made Zheng Zhilong and the puppet Ming court more and more alienated. Not long ago, due to the issue of the garrison in Penghu, Zheng Zhilong's men also had conflicts with the puppet navy... ..."

The emperor asked again: "If you don't move the army in the border towns, don't move the Beijing camp, and use troops against the hypocrisy, how long will it take to end the war?"

Xu Feng paid homage again: "According to the strategic plan formulated by the General Staff, at most half a year."

"Half a year..."

The emperor frowned. What he was worried about was not the strength of the Nanming army. In fact, as long as he wanted to, even now, he could put down the hypocrisy.

But it is easy to calm down, but it is not so easy to be stable.

During the reforms in the north, how many landlords and gentry left the south of the Yangtze River!

These people, no doubt, are staunch opponents of his reform policy.

The local gentry and landlords in the south of the Yangtze River are also needed. If the knife is really going to fall on their heads, they will not sit still and wait for death.

Even if Nanming is destroyed in a real sense with the momentum of thunder, if you want to stabilize Jiangnan, there will be no hundreds of thousands of troops sitting in the town. If you don't clean up the entire Jiangnan, don't talk about reforms, even if you don't want to be stable!

And this process cannot be solved in a few months.

"To pacify Jiangnan, the focus is not on how to fight, but on how to stabilize the situation after the war."

The emperor said slowly: "The general staff not only needs to formulate a strategy for fighting, but also formulate tactics for maintaining stability after the war and suppressing dissatisfaction."

"I understand."

Xu Feng responded and bowed to the Son of Heaven.

"The Beijing army must also be prepared. Lin Danhan will never be peaceful when the battle starts in the future..."

"I understand."

Zhao Wu quickly replied.

The emperor looked at the princes and daughters who were playing, and after a moment of silence, he spoke slowly:

"I asked the Martial Academy to open another subject to train the noble children of various families, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Feng and Zhao Wu immediately looked at each other in blank dismay. Immediately, they did not dare to neglect, and immediately bowed to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The emperor waved his hand, and said angrily: "Okay, I'm not asking you to flatter me, but I'm asking you to make suggestions!"

In this way, the two looked at each other again, and immediately, Zhao Wu cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I, Daheng Wuxun, all started with Your Majesty in the Southern and Northern Wars. When you are old, it is the age when you need to read and understand."

"But most of the martial arts generals of each family sit in the same place, or command troops outside, and it is rare for the children of the family to control them."

"In time, I'm afraid that dudes will be everywhere, relying on the prestige of their parents, causing trouble, and acting recklessly..."

"But if you strictly control it, it will be easy to cultivate..."

"I think that His Majesty's intention is the best policy."

The emperor nodded, then looked at Erwazi: "What about you, what do you think?"

"I think so."

Xu Feng nodded: "The lesson of the corruption of martial arts in the previous Ming Dynasty is still vivid, so we must take precautions against it."

"Row."

The emperor nodded: "Tomorrow morning, the two of you will draft a charter and submit it to the court for discussion."

"The minister obeys the order."

The two princes paid homage again, and then, under the sign of the emperor, they resigned and left.

……

"We thought His Majesty had forgotten about it, but unexpectedly, he brought it up again this time."

While walking, Xu Feng was the first to speak out.

"Oh?"

Zhao Wu was surprised: "Your Majesty has mentioned this matter before?"

"A few years ago, at that time, we were still the governors of the three sides."

Erwazi was in a daze, he still clearly remembered that it was the first time he had quarreled with Brother Xiu, and the source of the quarrel was that he didn't want Brother Xiu to be so foolish and loyal...

In the blink of an eye for a few years, everything has changed...

"This strategy really works."

Zhao Wu nodded: "The Beijing army is busy with supplies, and those bastards at home are lawless, and those people in the mansion can't control it. If this continues, it will cause disaster sooner or later."

Speaking of this, Zhao Wu seemed to think of something, suddenly looked at Xu Feng, and said angrily: "Your eldest son is not a good guy, he ran to my house to play with my second son, and took my study They were all burned!"

Hearing this, Xu Feng also shook his head with a wry smile. He has held various important positions these years, and he really doesn't have the energy to take care of family affairs!

Fortunately, these boys are not too big, otherwise, just wiping his butt, he would probably have a big head.

As thoughts flowed, Xu Feng suddenly shook his head: "Your Majesty's move must have a deep meaning."

The smile on Zhao Wu's face disappeared, and the two looked at each other, everything was clear.

Obviously, the reform process is halfway through, and the next step is to return to normal order.

The first obstacle to normal order is naturally the various towns.

Sitting in one place, with the military and government in full control, who would willingly let go of such rights, once enjoyed.

If they rebel, it is estimated that no one will have the courage, and they will not be so stupid.

But if you make trouble secretly, it is absolutely indispensable, such a force, no one can ignore it!

But it is also obvious that no one can stop His Majesty's will, and it is not just one or two people who really want to anger their Majesty.

During the silence, Xu Feng suddenly spoke out.

"Let's talk first."

"what?"

Zhao Wu was surprised.

Xu Feng looked serious, stared at Zhao Wu closely, and said without doubt:

"Ignorant ones, the governor will deal with them in advance!"

Looking at each other for a moment, Zhao Wu took a deep breath: "You can figure it out. If you are an idiot, it's useless to keep it, but it will hurt others!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Wu was silent for a while, and then said: "Zhou Yuji's side, you also have to communicate, the Shaanxi side is his old department."

"As for Zhou Yuji, we have already said that he is now stuck in North Korea, where the birds don't shit, but his head is very big."

"The tail here, he hopes we can help him deal with it, otherwise, once he is implicated..."

Chapter 529 Taxes and Natural Disasters

"call……"

It wasn't until the figures of the two princes slowly disappeared from sight that the emperor slowly withdrew his gaze, and once again looked at the princes and princesses playing in the square in front of the palace.

Up to now, as far as future generations are concerned, he naturally has completely lost the worries of the past. He is an upright man, and he already has eight princes and four princesses. The continuation of future generations is not a problem at all.

It can be expected that in the future, his descendants will inevitably increase.

Perhaps with Daheng's conquest of the outside world, with the continuation of Daheng's national fortune, and with the layout he envisioned for his descendants, his blood, the Li surname of Heng, will spread all over the world, and even, all over the world ...

All kinds of thoughts flickered in his mind, but the emperor became more and more dazed. Are these what he wants?

The emperor's always firm eyes also dimmed a little bit which was rare.

"Your Majesty, the tax books are clear."

When the emperor's thoughts were flying, Wang Wu came quickly and bowed to the emperor.

Under the influence of this voice, the emperor's thoughts also slowly returned to reality, and he took the account book handed over by Wang Wu, then turned and walked towards the hall.

Seeing this, Wang Wu followed closely behind the emperor and walked into the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor walked into the side hall, and the eunuchs immediately stepped forward and took off the fox fur that the emperor was wearing. Another eunuch and maid brought hot tea and a charcoal stove, and placed them in front of the emperor.

As soon as he opened the notebook, the emperor seemed to think of something: "It's cold outside, send the princes and daughters back to the palace."

"Old slave, go here."

Wang Wu immediately took the order and left.

The eyes of the emperor were once again fixed on the tax summary account book of the third year of Zhaowu.

Although it had been predicted earlier, after seeing this aggregated figure, the Son of Heaven's expression became a lot more dignified.

The third year of Zhaowu is undoubtedly a special year. Since the end of the second year of Zhaowu, the big tax case started, and it has not yet ended completely. It is only a preliminary statistics. The number of people involved in this big tax case is no less than one million. Of course, quite a few of them fled to the south of the Yangtze River after being aware of the wind.

But despite this, the number of people involved in this big tax case is the highest in history when looking at the big cases of the major dynasties in ancient and modern times!

Of course, although the number of people involved in the case has never been recorded in history, and the people convicted are also rare in history, but those who were actually killed are very few.

Most of the people involved in the case who were arrested, as long as they did not commit serious crimes, would end up in exile in Liaodong at best.

After all, the ultimate goal of this big tax case is not to track down taxes, and even to track down taxes is just an incidental result in the process of accomplishing the ultimate goal.

The real ultimate goal of the big tax case is to attack the local gentry and landlords, destroy the traditional order in various places, and provide assistance for the establishment of a new order.

The blow to the traditional order in various places will undoubtedly affect the taxation of the imperial court.

In the third year of Zhaowu, the total tax revenue of Daheng was only 230 shi, which was more than 200 million shi less than that in the second year of Zhaowu, which was full of wars!

In terms of silver, compared with the second year of Zhaowu, it has increased, from more than 930 million taels in the second year of Zhaowu to 2608 million taels!

After staring at the total amount of tax money and food for a long time, the emperor let out a long breath. Obviously, the total amount of tax money and food fully proved the special form change of Daheng in the third year of Zhaowu.

As the eyes shifted, specific tax figures came into view one by one, and finally the eyes were fixed on the two special places of Liaodong and Ningbo Ships.

Daheng's taxation reform was not officially implemented until August of the third year of Zhaowu. It will obviously take some time until it is fully implemented. On, it has no effect.

However, Liaodong and Ningbo Shipping Division, the two places where reforms took place first, have indeed shown their advantages after the reforms.

In Liaodong, Zhaowu’s total tax revenue in three years, grain: 230 million shi, silver: 1908 million taels.

With a population of less than one million, it contributed one-sixth of Daheng's total taxes!

As for the Ningbo Shipbuilding Department, Zhaowu’s total tariff income in the past three years is as high as 2903 million taels!
