"Did Mingda pretend to be confused and test me?" Chen Dujing said: "During the Han and Tang Dynasties, it seemed to be the ancient Chinese. In the Middle Ages, how could the industry and commerce trade be so developed? In the Han Dynasty, it was built by farming. Commerce and trade were only internal circulation. The Western Regions trade was only a few people who made profits. In the Tang Dynasty, only a few places in the southeast made profits. The number of sea trade in this dynasty was developed. The number of sea trade counties was from Guangnan to Shandong to Jinhai. In addition to raw silk porcelain, there were also paper, tea, silk, cloth, iron, lacquerware, and various goods. I don't know how many ten thousand people there are in the world.

Involved in it. Taking Pingjiang Prefecture, the prefectures and counties have prepared more than one million acres of cotton fields for trade, with more than a thousand silk factories and textile factories, each of which employs more than a thousand workers. In addition to Jianzhou on Fujian Road, Wang Yue had not caused trouble in Jianzhou, and had more than 100 iron farms, and had more than 200,000 workers, benefiting more than one million people. Others don’t know, but I know that there is an iron farm. In addition to miners and iron workers, there are also accounting rooms, coachmen, grooms, mule workers, repairs, delivery, economy, and related restaurants, restaurants, and vegetable farmers who supply time and vegetables also benefit..."

Xu Zixian looked at the father-in-law in front of him with admiration.

Chen Dujing continued: "Our Great Wei Dynasty has developed its industrial and commercial trade. This is the legacy of Taizu. Taizu governed the north to the south, so he was very concerned about trade. At the beginning of the country, he decided to forge ahead in the south and trade matters, and trade with other countries was determined by this. Even so, taxes were still too heavy. In the past few decades, there have been many disasters in the mainland, and sea trade has been harassed by pirates. For example, Guangnan East Road, the scale of sea trade has decreased by more than 70% when the thieves such as Yan Qi were ravaged. In addition, Jingnan and Jingbei are all bandits like bulls. The northwest road, the west Qiang and northern barbarians are rampant. The Hebei and Hedong roads were disturbed by the Donghu. Many villages and towns have been razed to the ground. Even so, the taxes have not been reduced at all... Mingda, you are kind-hearted, but what you said today will definitely be taboos."

The industrial and commercial trade of the Great Wei Dynasty was indeed developed, and the tax revenue supported was far higher than that of the extremely prosperous Han and Tang dynasties. If it weren't for the extremely high income, how could they raise hundreds of thousands of elite imperial guards and more than one million soldiers? In addition, there were more than one million officials. These officials and troops spent more than 70% of the national tax revenue. Once the army was prosperous, the expenses would be even more unsatisfactory.

When the imperial court was prosperous, there were also places where water conservancy projects were spent. In the past 30 years, the government had fewer rewards to officials and the army, because they were really stretched and were unable to make ends meet. The court could no longer support additional expenses. In order to maintain the current situation, there were many miscellaneous taxes outside the official tax. In order to enable local officials to serve as tax collection, Emperor Wenzong later indulged local officials to embezzle and get full. Of course, the pressure and resentment in the local area increased day by day. This has become an irreconcilable contradiction. It has been accumulated for a long time and it is difficult to recover...

Chen Du still has not finished his respect, and there is still something to say: "They are mostly gentlemen who support you today. Because officials can get enough taxes and are not very interested in reducing taxes. That is, Yang Dafu is as clear as water, so he is the first to agree. Although Lin Shuaichen did not agree, he was kind-hearted... The action was too big, and officials and gentlemen would oppose each other because the reduction of taxes is the benefit of gentry. The greater the family and the greater the business, the more surprising the amount of taxes they reduced, and the officials will suffer from it. Therefore, Mingda, you have to advocate reducing taxes as soon as you opened your government. Not only do you have to deal with the court, but also face the people on and off the Fujian road. It is really a bit too tempting."

The elder in front of him was also bitter and advised him endlessly, but Xu Zixian had already made some plans in his heart. He just smiled and said slowly: "What my father-in-law said is very true, and it is indeed a thoughtful view of the old and conspiring country. However, I think that the actions of the Wei Dynasty, such a way of doing this is nothing more than delaying the time of the destruction of the country. If the fire is not removed from the bottom of the pot, it is only a matter of time to destroy the country... Father-in-law, don't be anxious, wait for me to finish. I am trusted by the emperor and able to open the government. Local military and political affairs can be just a matter of right and right. With the remaining power of Jianzhou's victory, this is a good time. If you don't take advantage of this, you will be demoted to some uncooperative officials.

, When will the new officials be mobilized?"

Only then did Chen Dujing realize that reducing taxes was something that Xu Zixian must do, and he would also do the new administration.

Xu Zixian had previously stated that he would stabilize the local area, correct illegal things, encourage trade and resume production, and all things were carried out in sequence. Everyone forgot about the inconspicuous new administration. Because Xu Zi had mentioned the matter of reducing taxes at that time, which was too sensational, everyone devoted their thoughts to rejecting levies and reducing taxes.

Chen Dujing suddenly realized and said repeatedly: "So that's it, so that's it."

Xu Zixian said in a deep voice: "Although my father-in-law lives idle, he actually understands that the current official style and the official style are extremely corrupt. Because of the weak center, the Censorate of the capital and the local inspectors have the responsibility of supervising bullets from top to bottom. However, it is the emperor who sits and watches the officials fill their pockets. What is the significance of censors' bullets? The one who corrupts the official style and the style of the officials is the emperor and the two governments of the center, and of course, including the Censors. Such a mechanism is not possible, because power comes from the superiors, can be given or taken away..."

"Mingda means that it is the following system?" Chen Dujing said: "This is what Taizu thought back then."

"It is not the following system." Xu Zixian said: "The interests of the central government and local governments have always been difficult to reconcile. Xuanzong changed the ancestral system and did not set up a local government council. The main idea was to fear that local clans, gentry, and merchants would gather together to fight against the central government. Benefits come from the superiors, and power all came from the superiors. Although it created the prosperous era after Xuanzong, the court and the local government were actually flattened. All soldiers, power, and wealth were all gathered in the central government. Once the central government was weak, the local government would not only be disinterested, but also not to be enterprising, but also difficult to defend. I dare to assert that if the north attacked the north, it would be difficult to defend. I dare to assert that if the north attacked, the local government would not only be disinterested, but not to be enterprising, it would be difficult to defend. I dare to assert that if the north attacked, the local government would not only be disinterested, but not to be enterprising, it would be difficult to defend. I dare to assert that if the north attacked, the local government would not only be disinterested, but not to be enterprising, it would be difficult to defend.

The defeat, the main force of the imperial guards was lost. The court was not only unable to fight against the Donghu, but also unable to suppress the bandits internally. In the end, the local area had no power to protect itself because it was all a scattered sand. Therefore, the distribution of soldiers, power and financial resources in the central and local governments could neither be like the military governors of the Tang Dynasty, nor could it be like the current dynasty. It allowed local gentry to join forces and officials to form a complex local power structure, but it could not eliminate officials and clear officials, resulting in the local atmosphere, and the central income was limited, but the local area was seriously damaged..."

Chen Dujing listened to Xu Zixian's words and knew that this good son-in-law's determination to open a local clique council was determined. However, he still had doubts in his heart. He still said bluntly: "I know what you mean now, but have you considered it clearly? If you reduce the tax, the officials will be harmed, and not only the people will benefit, but many gentry and merchants' homes will definitely benefit greatly..."

"Wealth is flowing, and it is impossible to equalize the rich and poor. However, I thought that to calm the officialdom, set the official system, and strictly regulate the law of the upper and lower levels, we should not let people use their wealth to destroy the law. Then the gap between the rich and the poor is not a source of movement and chaos. As for the distribution of wealth, there must be considerable officials in the parliament, including students, celebrities, etc. These people are all localities in the hometown, and with news and public opinion supervision, they should not tend to be the rich. In addition, it is to determine laws, such as hiring workers. The court had no legislation on this area before, at most it was to ask the factory owners to be conscious, so they used child laborers or exploiters, and worked five or six hours a day, and were exhausted, but in the end they were mean factory owners who could not get a few liters of money..."

"If he comes down, he won't be able to hire people. People's words are terrifying, and people's hearts are terrifying."

"Yes..." Xu Zixian said: "It's better to use the power of morality, but if everyone seeks profit and avoids harm, follow the same thing, without restraint, how can the officialdom fall into depravity? Don't my father-in-law know? We have many factories in Fujian. If we don't have it, we can still be sailors, and if we really can't, we can still go out to sea to make a living. Why are there bandits everywhere in Jingnan, many rich and unkind gentry, merchants, and officials who are corrupt and unlawful, not the main reason?"

Speaking of this, it can be said that Xu Zixian's original intention has been entrusted. Chen Dujing felt enlightened. It seems that the plan of His Highness the King of Qin in front of him is really great, not just himself.

What is more concerned about is changing the existing methods...

"You are going to make a plan for future generations for generations." Chen Dujing sighed: "With the reduction of taxes, the rectification of officials, and then the establishment of a parliament, and the speaking of local families, gentry, and merchants and openly seeking profits. The clerks restrict officials, officials rule on daily basis, and the law restrain gentry and merchants, so that they can roughly solve the chronic problems. After that, the extra financial resources of the government were to build roads, build bridges, and set up schools to educate the children of the poor so that education was not monopolized by the rich. There were also a nucleus to raise orphans with no parents, and a hospital was to set up a hospital to treat the poor.

If the patients who save themselves, even if the rich and poor are poor, what's the harm? Why are the world unstable? Finally, by levying taxes on land only, and then using many tax laws such as the gates, door-to-door taxes, customs taxes, and commercial taxes, taxes, taxes, and other taxes, taxes on merchants, and raising taxes for small people. Those miscellaneous taxes that are as numerous as cows, such as general money, river ferry money, slaughtering money, etc., will be dismissed, and gentry and businessmen with more fields and gold. Even so, because the total amount of miscellaneous taxes is reduced, and there is no need to bribe officials, all classes will have real benefits, reduce expenditures, and local people will be cleared, and industrial and commercial trade will be more developed. This is the real world."

"What a big article, big mind, big ambition..." Chen Dujing was stunned by the sight he had been drawn to, and was simply impressed by the vision depicted by Xu Zixian.

If Xu Zixian was just an ordinary family member, he would inevitably be laughed at by Chen Dujing, and scolded him, "You really dare to think about it, just smile."

These things are simple, which one is easy to do?

The central wealth is intercepted, the people are calmed, the local government is given to the new officials, and the officials are regulated, and then various public welfare undertakings are started, and the local central council is determined, and the news supervision is encouraged. Then the school is opened, education is promoted, and the law is promoted. If it is really done, it will be an undisputed world of great governance.

But which of these things is easy to do?

But Xu Zixian is not an ordinary person. In the eyes of outsiders, what did Xu Zixian fail to do?

Schools were opened in Dongfan, and the immigrant villages had many officials, ethics, ability and efficiency were praised by Chen Duzhu and others who had been to Dongfan.

The army, officials, gentry, merchants, ordinary military and civilians were all governed in the Dongfan, and were obedient to Xu Zixian's governance and reorganization. If the Dongfan's governance had been changed to a peaceful and prosperous era, it would have been preached for a while and would have been used as a model by the officials of various prefectures and counties. Even the central government and the Censorate, including the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel and other relevant departments would send officials to inspect, and would be promoted nationwide after the inspection.

Chen Dujing thought about his son-in-law's ability, and he had nothing to say. This son-in-law thought of everything and had a backing of force... This time he attacked Li Kaiming, and although the government army had fought for more than 10,000 times, he fought for two days and nights. He finally defeated the 80,000 imperial guards and the strong enemies that the wing army could not fight. More than 100,000 bandit soldiers were captured and more than 100,000 were beheaded, and the head was sent to the capital to boast about the martial arts of the court. Xu Zixian did not intend to build a capital temple with these people of the Great Wei Dynasty. Yan Qi was the sea

There were not many foreign thieves, including Wei people. Most of them were Japanese, Luzon, Zhenla and other pirates from various countries. Xu Zixian used the heads of these people to build Jingguan. Even if the local Wei people were treasons, they had no choice but to force them to Liangshan. The prince of the Great Wei should feel ashamed of this and did not think it was glory. As for the capital city's heads, they were to cheer up for the Northern Expedition and boast about martial arts, they could only let the capital go.

The government army still has more than 10,000 elite troops, and will expand its troops on a large scale in the future. In addition to the financial resources of the Dongfan, the financial resources of Fujian Road can also be used by Xu Zixian. In this way, within one year, the direct government army of His Highness the King of Qin can reach a scale of more than 100,000 people. It not only shocks the southeast, but also places it in the whole world as a powerful vassal, which is enough to affect the overall situation of the world.
