"Your Majesty said that you will not stay and rest tonight, and will rush to Liaoyang."
Li Ruolian immediately stepped forward and looked at Huang Ling, the commander of the Yongwei Camp, on the side.
Li Ruolian is not familiar with this commander of the Yonggu.
Especially since the establishment of the Imperial Front Camp, his attention to the Imperial Front Camp has naturally focused on the Imperial Front Camp. Who would have thought that the emperor would go on a journey and protect the drivers, not the Imperial Front Camp, but the Brave Guard Camp.
Li Ruolian obviously did not expect this.
After I reacted, it was obviously too late.
He naturally knew that the status of the Jinyiwei had changed a long time ago.
Although it was still a sequence of the Emperor's Imperial Guards, many functions of the Jinyiwei during the Ming Dynasty were deprived of.
For example, many rituals and events in the sacrificial ceremonies were the primary guards of the Jinyiwei and were also symbols of the Jinyiwei's status.
At present, these functions no longer belong to the Jinyiwei.
Even if it is intelligence, the functions of the Jinyiwei are divided.
The East Factory is really unnamed, but its power has long been completely covered by the entire world with the commercial bank that covers the world by the inner court.
The General Staff Intelligence Department is famous and practical, and has many martial arts support. It has no shortage of financial and manpower, and it is also the same as the right time, place and people.
Outside the territory of Daheng, there is no relationship with the Jinyiwei.
Within Daheng, there are also "East Factory" eyeing them.
Moreover, Li Ruolian knew very well why the imperial camp, which had always been with the emperor in the past, had never followed him this time.
Daheng’s Imperial Front Camp is the Jinyiwei of the Former Ming Dynasty!
The emperor personally served the army, held ceremonies and specialized in sacrificial affairs, which was the function of the Jinyiwei replaced by the Imperial Front Camp.
At the same time, the Imperial Front Camp also has a truly unnamed intelligence system like Rudong Factory. Although this is extremely secret, Li Ruolian probably didn't notice many civil and military officials in the court.
Even he would be difficult to detect if it weren't for chance.
But in fact, that's it.
The Imperial Front Camp is a real and nameless Jinyiwei.
In this way, the Imperial Front Camp stayed in Beijing and the Duke of Jingguo was in Beijing. What it means is undoubtedly very clear.
He didn't dare to inquire about the details.
One thing that is also clear is that the Jinyiwei is definitely not his one-man show.
There are definitely many people staring at him and at the Jinyiwei.
A dead soldier training commanded by Wei Zhongxian at that time made Daheng successful, and also made Jinyiwei...
The current Jinyiwei, or he, seems to be in an extremely embarrassing state.
It’s not right to advance, nor to retreat.
Nothing can be controlled by him at all. Everything, every move of his is under the control of the emperor.
If he wants to advance, he has to advance. If he wants to retreat, he has to retreat. If he wants to die, he has to die...
At this point, he only hopes that he can continue to maintain the Jinyiwei and himself can safely and securely until he retires.
Being able to reach this point, coupled with his hard work over the years and his connections with civil and military officials in the court, was enough to ensure that the Li family had flourished for several generations.
The premise for all this is that he, the commander of the Jinyiwei, can be safe and secure until he retires.
Even he himself has no confidence in this.
The many civil strife before had already caused the emperor to have an extremely serious crisis of trust in the Jinyiwei and Li Ruolian.
The emergence of Nadongchang and the Imperial Front Camp are bound to be quite a few reasons for this.
The reason why he can still exist is that the emperor is still considering his past feelings.
If the position makes mistakes again, how long can this relationship last? It is obviously an unknown number.
"Okay, I'll go arrange it."
Huang Ling nodded, and did not say much to Li Ruolian.
The biggest taboo for the general of the Imperial Army is to have too much contact with foreign ministers.
Whether it is literature or martial arts, even with the Beijing Army, there are two complete systems.
If this is not clear, Huang Ling will not be able to reach the position of commander of the Yongwei Camp.
At this time, twilight was approaching, and the wind and snow were everywhere, and the fire was flashing, and the convoy was moving forward slowly.
Although the emperor was in a conspicuous manner, there were naturally many people who were accompanying and protecting the driver.
Hundreds of Iron Cavalry in the Brave Guard and more than a hundred soldiers in the Jinyi Guard.
Such military strength is not to mention being in Daheng territory, even on the grassland, it is enough to face most unexpected situations.
The emperor had not rested, and the political affairs on the table were not handled. The emperor looked through the car window and looked at the dim wind and snow outside the car, and felt like he could not sleep all night.
It was noon the next day that the emperor had barely arrived at Liaoyang Prefecture.
The weather in Liao Province also changes at any time. It is windy and snowy, and it seems that the sun is shining brightly in the blink of an eye.
The vast white world, coupled with the dazzling sun, feels unspeakable unreality wherever you see.
The emperor still chose a village on the map and ordered the convoy to drive towards him.
Lijia Village is located in Zhihe County, Liaoyang Prefecture. It has 78 households and a total of 453 people.
On the emperor's table, this yellow household registration book clearly records the destination of the emperor's trip.
However, this time, the scenery in the village is a little different from the past.
"The autumn harvest must have passed, right?"
A long distance away, the emperor frowned and asked, looking at the scene of the officials in the village collecting grain.
"Report to Your Majesty, the time for agricultural tax collection is usually from the time after autumn harvest to the end of the year..."
Li Ruolian replied immediately on the side.
The emperor raised his eyebrows, but he became interested clearly.
The data summarized by the court every year is that agricultural tax and commercial tax are added every year, but the emperor has not seen it with his own eyes, how to collect this tax, and how to collect it.
"Everyone is here, you guys go with me."
The emperor waved his hand, walked off the carriage, turned over the horse, and rode away.
At this moment, the village was filled with noise, and the people were standing in line at the threshing ground, with long tables on one side, some officials sat with their pens, some officials counted the grain they handed over, and some even carried the grain they handed over with their reputation.
The emperor and his men suddenly arrived, and there was no slight fluctuation in the hustle and bustle of the crowd gathering.
"I remember that the Publicity Department has a task to go to the grassroots level to publicize the strategies of the court's rural and commercial enterprises every year, right?"
Looking at the noisy scene, the emperor seemed to remember something and suddenly asked.
"Report to your Majesty, it's arranged every year."
Li Ruolian clasped his fists and responded.
The emperor nodded. Daheng's agricultural tax strategy was very simple.
There is no other heavy tax, for the people, there is only one, that is the land tax!
Taxes are levied by mu, and the yield per mu shall be formulated by the court.
The data on this per mu is determined by the court's statistics on the land yield data over the years and obtaining an average value.
As for whether the people pay the physical goods or money, before, they had to pay grain and not discount the silver. However, with the implementation of paper money, the court's efforts to coordinate the world have been strengthened, and there were no tough regulations on this.
To pay grain, you should pay taxes according to the amount of land acres set by the court, and you should change money instead. Then you should change money to buy grain at the price of the imperial grain bank.
Of course, there are no other regulations, but this money must be Daheng paper currency, and metal currency is not allowed to be paid as tax.
The most fundamental purpose of such a policy is to make the policy as simple and easy to understand as much as possible. The annual publicity department promotes the policy, which is also to make every citizen understand and understand as much as possible.
Only in this way can the range where officials work harder.
