However, these people have low titles and their influence in Leizhou is not small.
According to Xiang Dongyang and others' draft, those with titles in their families were exempt from taxes, and according to the actual amount of food collected, each household was paid for subsidies of 200 yuan per month. The nobles of the Southern Song Dynasty had fiefs, ranging from ten thousand households to several thousand households, but fiefs were imaginary, and the land actually rewarded was called food, which was about four-tenths of the fief.
There are no high-ranking nobles in Leizhou Prefecture, but there are also viscounts, with fiefs of 500 households and 300 households.
If three hundred times two hundred, it will be calculated in this way that such a nobleman will receive a monthly subsidy.
Below the nobles, families of gentry who have fame and fortune in their families can also enjoy the preferential treatment of half of taxes. Moreover, the recycled part of their land is also paid at a price of ten taels of silver per mu to compensate.
The people who share the land do not have such preferential treatment. Unless they are military families with people who join the army, some people who join the army can enjoy a tax reduction of 40% in the same year. Those who make military achievements in the army can be reduced by 50% in taxes, and those who are promoted to tenth chiefs can be exempted from taxes, and those who are 70% in centurion, and thousands of chiefs are exempted from all.
According to Xiang Dongyang's idea, this can also increase the enthusiasm of soldiers during combat.
At the same time, the special status of the nobles was also shown.
Before the scattered court, Zhao Dongting issued a death order that the land distribution system must be implemented in the entire Leizhou Prefecture within half a year. If such tax reduction and exemption and subsidy policies are still resisted, then he would be arrested and confiscated, and his property would be confiscated to serve as a warning.
The court should have the magnanimity of the court, but it should also have the majesty of the court.
Zhao Dongting knew very well that most emperors who were too good at being good will have no good results. Throughout history, so many emperors have appeared in their own opinions. Those who are benevolent and righteous will be corrupt and powerful will fall behind; those who are iron-fisted will have more mutiny. Only those who are both benevolent and righteous and have means can finally create a prosperous era and leave their reputation in history.
He came over here and since he had become an emperor, he naturally wanted to be an emperor for the ages.
Before the afternoon, notices of tax reduction and exemption were posted in various parts of Haikang County, attracting countless people to watch.
Mu Kangxun went to the prefecture to meet Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting thought he wanted to report the people's reaction after seeing the notice, so he went in, but Mu Kangxun said: "Emperor, just now, dozens of people from Suixi County went outside the government office to ask the government for rewards Xiulin Castle. The ministers did not dare to decide, so they came to report to the emperor."
"Reward Xiulin Castle?"
Zhao Dongting frowned slightly when he heard this.
Perhaps because Le Chan was about to marry into Xiulin Castle, he never had any good feelings for Xiulin Castle.
Mu Kangxun bowed and said, "Last night, hundreds of pirates attacked Lijia Village outside Suixi County at night. The heroes of Xiulin Fort repelled him and killed more than 200 thieves, so that Lijia Village could survive. The county magistrate of Suixi County sent a messenger to report this matter in writing to Weichen. Before Weichen could report it, the villagers of Lijia Village came. Until now, they are still gathering outside the mansion and have not left, waiting for our reply."
Zhao Dongting smashed his mouth, "Xiulin Castle fights against pirates..."
But he was wondering in his heart how Xiulin Castle knew that the pirates were going to attack Lijia Village.
Because he didn't like it, Zhao Dongting was always particularly suspicious about Xiulin Castle.
Did they have any sightseeing among the pirates? Or did they get news from the world?
In fact, when Xiulin Castle fought against pirates, he should have been rewarded, but Zhao Dongting was very upset when he thought that Le Chan was going to marry Murong Hao.
Reward your love rival?
"Please decide the emperor."
Mu Kangxun was a little anxious when he saw Zhao Dongting not speaking for a long time. After all, the villagers of Lijia Village were still gathered outside the prefect's office.
Zhao Dongting's brow never let go and asked, "What do you think should be done?"
Mu Kangxun said: "Xiulin Castle is for the country and the people. As far as I know, they have done many righteous acts before. When they rebel, Ge Lijun was appointed as the governor, they also rewarded him many times. If the emperor rewarded them, he would be able to make the righteous men in the martial arts world claim Xiulin Castle as a sign, and at the same time, they would also gain the public's opinion. I think he should reward him."
Zhao Dongting hesitated again.
Mu Kangxun said again: "If we can ask them to help, it may be easier to destroy the pirates."
"Well!"
When Zhao Dongting heard him say this, he sighed: "Then give it a reward, give them a plaque of the Dayi Sect."
Now the imperial court needs money everywhere and asks him to reward some practical things. He is reluctant to give it up and is unwilling to reward it from the bottom of his heart.
Although state affairs are state affairs and private affairs are private affairs, whenever Zhao Dongting thinks of Le Chan, he will be full of resentment towards Xiulin Castle. This is human nature.
"The Emperor's Holy Spirit."
Mu Kangxun bowed and said, then left in a hurry.
Zhao Dongting sat on the chair, tapped his fingers gently on the table, and began to ponder.
Two days ago, Sha Wanli ran away from Xiulin Castle at night, but now Xiulin Castle resists pirates again. Why does Xiulin Castle have everything?
Half a month has passed like this.
The land distribution system was finally implemented, and the nobles finally did not forcefully obstruct their own land and land. Occasionally, Zhou Papi was arrested and imprisoned because he was weak and could not cause any storm.
It’s just that Chen Jianghan, the Minister of Finance, has a bitter face all day long and has a great hatred, because these imperial courts really spend money like flowing water.
Everyone celebrated, and countless people in Leizhou sang praises to the Southern Song Dynasty court.
Some people even compiled songs, and some children sang on the streets all day long.
Xiulin Castle destroyed two groups of pirates, and the righteous act spread throughout the world, which really attracted many sects to join the team to wipe out the pirates.
The plaque "Dayi Sect..." which was given by the imperial court was also sent to Xiulin Castle by Mu Kangxun himself and hung high above the Xiulin Castle Hall.
On that day, nearly a thousand people gathered in Xiulin Castle, which was very lively.
Later, the fortress lord Murong Chuan asked Mu Kangxun to bring a message to Zhao Dongting, saying that all the staff of Xiulin Fortress were willing to do their best to help the court eliminate pirates.
They really have sightseeing among pirates.
After Zhao Dongting learned the news, he pondered for a long time and his doubts about Xiulin Castle gradually disappeared.
He didn't like Xiulin Castle, but it was a fact that Xiulin Castle resisted pirates and benefited the people. Moreover, Liu Hongyi could not find out what was wrong with Xiulin Castle.
Such a sect really seems to have the style of a righteous sect.
After putting aside his personal emotions, Zhao Dongting also agreed with Xiulinbao's proposal to work together to suppress bandits.
In early October, Liu Hongyi led an army of 20,000, and more than a thousand masters of the sects such as Xiulin Castle went out to sea to fight against pirates again.
Zhao Dongting was in charge of the imperial court. In addition to urging the weapons workshop to refine new steel weapons, he also began to focus on studying artillery.
