"Long live my emperor!"
Long live the shouts that soared into the sky and resounded throughout the world.
In Chengtian Palace, all the civil and military officials were bowed down.
The emperor sat upright on the dragon throne and looked down at the hall.
"All my beloved ministers are exempted from courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The civil and military officials shouted again and then stood up one after another.
"I believe that my dear friends have already understood the discussion today, so I won't say much."
After saying that, the emperor's eyes circulated on all officials, and finally frozen on Zhang Mo, the governor of Liaodong, who was on the side of the civil officials.
"Zhang Mo!"
"I'm here!"
Zhang Mo went out and bowed to the emperor.
"Liaodong is the first place to be renovated. You are the governor of Liaodong. I will report to you my dear friends and summarize the achievements of Liaodong's reform."
"I obey the order!"
Zhang Mo bows again.
Then he quickly stepped forward, reached the imperial stairs, and turned around to look at the civil and military officials.
"Last year, His Majesty personally led the army to pacify Liaodong and North Korea, eliminate the disaster of slavery that lasted for decades, and after implementing the reform, it has been more than a year since it was implemented..."
"The importance of reform lies in taxation, in land and business."
"Last year, the war ended, Liaodong was in ruins and the population was only more than 200,000..."
"When the emperor set out to the capital, the population of Liaodong had increased to more than 738,500."
"After a check, there were originally 58,268 hectares and nine acres of land in Liaodong."
"Since the reform, two thousand eight hundred and sixty-two hectares of wasteland have been opened..."
"The average distribution of land for each person to each person is about four acres. According to the reform policy, all the corresponding miscellaneous taxes will be abolished. Taxes will be imposed on the land acres, regardless of the high or low, and all taxes will be paid together..."
"According to the current land owned by the people, the land tax this year is expected to reach about two million stones..."
“… Since the beginning of the reform, the Liaodong Taxation Department has successively established 162 tax customs, and collected a total of 1.86 million taels of silver for commercial taxes…”
Zhang Mo told these numbers that he was already familiar with. The generals in the book of martial arts were not very sensitive to tax numbers, but the civil officials could not hide their shock.
However, more than 700,000 people, when they are in trouble, they can expect to have more than 2 million stone land taxes and more than 1 million taels of commercial taxes. If Liaodong is completely stable and peaceful, what a terrifying figure will the tax reach?
And how many people are there in Daheng?
Even if the false land of Pseudo-Ming is removed, there will be at least tens of millions of people!
Just by simply converting this number, the civil officials felt breathless, especially Liu Qiyuan, who has been working diligently for so many years, but he is unable to defeat the twilight of the west and the endless troubles. How could he dare to hope so much?
The emperor was indifferent. The ministers only knew the seemingly considerable gains, but they didn’t know how much energy and food he, as the emperor, spent in Liaodong, a place to be renovated in a wasteful place!
It is difficult to implement the policy, and it is even more difficult to maintain the policy to continue. It is a huge problem to maintain the efficiency of the ruling class that implements the policy!
During this year, in order to ensure the efficiency of the Liaodong bureaucratic system, the Jinyiwei was spread all over every place where the people existed in Liaodong.
Zhang Mo even implemented the strict official policies of his emperor without reservation.
In a year, there were thousands of officials who were dismissed from Liaodong!
Almost half of the entire Liaodong official system has been replaced one after another!
The more than 10,000 camps of soldiers stationed in Liaodong and several Davids, nearly 100,000 troops, have almost never stopped for a year.
Like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, the entire Liaodong was cleaned up over and over again.
What are the remaining enemies of the Later Jin Dynasty and the bandits and bandits, almost disappeared in Liaodong!
Otherwise, there would be no such accurate land population statistics, nor could it be possible to build a mature reform system in more than a year, nor could it be possible to complete the transformation from a war-torn place to a vigorous and stable place in more than a year.
Not to mention, under the turmoil, hundreds of thousands of people and nearly one hundred thousand troops were almost entirely dependent on his emperor's deducting money and food from the gap between his teeth.
Even if the taxes in Liaodong are rising year by year, it will take at least about five years to completely balance the massive investment before.
Fortunately, the process is rugged and the harvest is bright.
Liaodong, a place that is in ruins, can have such tax revenue, and wait until the entire Daheng World, the reform will be completed and implemented...
The great achievements of Zhaowu's dynasty were the real beginning!
When Zhang Mo's voice fell, the emperor looked at the ministers again and spoke slowly: "If you have any questions, please ask Zhang Aiqing."
After the emperor finished speaking, the ministers immediately discussed the reform strategies, so the ministers naturally knew it clearly.
They have doubts, which is also based on policy implementation and policy maintenance.
Soon, a courtier spoke, and then one courtier after another asked questions.
This court debate turned into a debate, with the ministers asking questions, and Liaodong Governor Zhang Mo answered.
For example, tax collection, land acre statistics, demographic statistics, commercial tax collection, as well as the ownership of the tax department, land distribution, people's comfort, and many other issues, one after another, attacked Zhang Mo from various tricky angles.
The emperor watched the scene of the ministers asking questions, but his thoughts flew again to the reforms he had thought about for countless days and nights.
He is not a sage, and in later generations, he is not a big shot.
Strictly speaking, he also crossed the river by feeling the stones, but he didn't even have anyone to advise him and check for omissions.
In this era, there has not experienced a hundred years of hardships and humiliation, the endless despair of a single inch of mountains and rivers, and there have been no millions of people with the same faith, working together.
He is the only one who guards the soul of the later generations alone and the last obsession.
No one understands him!
People only know that thousands of years have passed like this, thousands of years have been the country of the Celestial Empire, and thousands of years have had prosperous times engraved in history!
Why bother to destroy your foundation? Why bother to be thankless!
He was forced to treat everyone as a tool, and those who are in a favorable position will prosper and those who are in a bad position will perish!
Sometimes he even thinks that if he doesn't live long enough, Da Heng will die in the second lifetime, it will probably be inevitable!
Just like the First Emperor Ying Zheng, in that era, the Qin Dynasty also established great achievements across the ages.
The First Emperor was able to resist the endless hidden dangers of establishing great achievements across the era, but Qin II, even the wise Fusu, could never suppress it!
Qin II died, and the Han Dynasty won people's hearts. It naturally inherited the great achievements of Qin and established a prosperous dynasty that named this nation!
A typical example of the ancestors planting trees and later generations enjoying the shade!
The same was true for the Sui Dynasty, but Yang Guang fell on the road to creating great achievements. Tang followed the trend and continued to move forward along Yang Guang's path. It was also a prosperous era praised by generations for generations.
It can also be regarded as the ancestors planted trees and later enjoyed the shade!
And he...
Since Chongzhen's death, he has been unable to remember how many times he has been in a state of decline.
Endless blood swept across the world, and now, great achievements are finally accomplished.
But just like Qin throne the six kingdoms, this achievement is just a achievement in the factual sense!
The most difficult thing to achieve is the human heart!
Even in the prosperous era of later generations, such an efficient and centralized ruling system could not curb people's hearts and could allow the ills of all dynasties to exist openly...
What's more, it's in this era that can be called ignorance!
Even if Daheng would not die in the second lifetime, Daheng at that time was definitely not the Daheng he wanted!
Chapter completed!
