Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

the next day.

Start early.

Civil and military officials walked along both sides of the imperial road and entered the Golden Palace in turn.

After the civil and military officials entered the Golden Palace, Zhou Chen, the emperor, walked out of the exclusive royal road and sat on the dragon chair.

Civil and military officials immediately knelt down and salute; "Kow down to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."

The civil and military officials shouted in unison.

Zhou Chen leaned on the dragon chair and looked down at the civil and military officials; "All the ministers are flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Civil and military officials stood up.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing."

Cao Zhengchun's sharp voice, as usual, sounded in the Golden Palace.

"Your Majesty, I have something to do."

Xun Yu walked out.

Seeing this, the civil and military officials raised their brows involuntarily.

Xun Yu was ordered to measure and count the land in the world. All civil and military officials knew about this.

Now that Xun Yu has returned to Luoyang, what Xun Yu wants to do should be about the land.

"Your Majesty, the minister has ordered to measure and count the land in the world. The land of all states and prefectures in the world has been measured and counted by the minister."

"My Dazhou's land acquisition is very serious, 80% of the land is in the hands of the family landlords, and less than 20% of the land in the hands of the common people."

"And the land in the hands of aristocratic landlords enjoys the privilege of not paying taxes, so that my tax revenue in Dazhou has dropped year by year."

"The minister asks His Majesty to change the land tax system and abolish the tax exemption privileges of the family landowners."

"This minister has already recorded the measured land, please take a look at it."

Xun Yu took out a memorial from his sleeve, held it in his hand and said loudly.

As soon as Xun Yu said these words, the expressions of the civil and military officials all changed.

All civil and military officials knew that what Xun Yu was going to report was about land, but they did not expect that Xun Yu would actually change the land tax system and abolish the family's tax exemption privilege.

This is simply a bit rock-shattering.

"Bring it up."

Zhou Chen said with an expressionless face.

Cao Zhengchun immediately went down and took the memorial from Xun Yu and presented it to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen opened it and glanced at it.

Zhou Chen had seen this memorial yesterday, and today it was just a formality at the court meeting.

After Zhou Chen closed the memorial, he looked at the civil and military officials below; "Every Aiqing, what do you Aiqing think of what Xun Shangshu has committed!"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible."

A minister immediately stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, the right to tax exemption for the landowners of noble families is determined by Emperor Taizu, how can it be easily abolished."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The right to tax exemption for landowners in aristocratic families is a rule that has been passed down to this day and cannot be abolished."

"Otherwise, it will be opposed by the landlords of the world's families."

Xun Yu's remarks were opposed by a large number of civil and military ministers in the court.

Some of these ministers came from wealthy families, and some were loyal and good old ministers.

There are also many reasons for these ministers to oppose, but in general, the biggest reasons are nothing more than two points, adherence to conventions and the opposition of the world's family and landlords.

Zhou Chen looked at these ministers who stood up against them, and there was not much surprise on his face.

Even important ministers such as the Minister of War, the Minister of Punishment, and the Eight Sages, Zhou Xian, were opposed to this matter, not to mention the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. It is normal to have some voices against it.

Zhou Chen looked at the ministers who stood up to oppose, his face expressionless; "Since all of you Aiqing oppose what Xun Shangshu wrote, then tell me that the landowners of aristocratic families have annexed 80% of the land in the world, and there is no need to pay taxes. How to solve it?"

"Is it possible to maintain the expenditure and operation of Dazhou with only the tax revenue of less than 20% of the land in the hands of the common people?"

Zhou Chen calmly glanced at these dissenting ministers.

These opposing ministers glanced at each other, and for a while, they didn't know how to answer.

They can't say that they are investigating the land of the landlords of the aristocratic families!

If they really dared to say this, they would undoubtedly offend the rich and powerful families of the world.

"how?"

"Can't you tell?"

Zhou Chen indifferently glanced at these dissenting ministers.

No more embarrassing these ministers.

Zhou Chen glanced at the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty, and said in a condensed voice; "I really did not expect that the degree of land annexation in Dazhou would be so serious."

"Eighty percent of the land is in the hands of wealthy landlords, and there is no need to pay taxes. Only less than 20 percent of the land is in the hands of the common people."

"That is to say, I have only relied on less than 20% of the land tax revenue in Dazhou these years to maintain the operation of Dazhou's various expenses."

"And, this situation is not constant, it is still declining year by year."

"Let's not talk about the fact that the landowners of aristocratic families seized and annexed land, let's talk about the taxation of Dazhou. If things go on like this, I am afraid that one day the taxation of Dazhou's land will drop to not even half of the tax!"

"If it really comes to that time, what will I use to spend and operate in Da Zhou."

Zhou Chen's questioning voice echoed in the hall, making the civil and military officials feel deafening.

"Xiao He, you are the left minister of my Da Zhou. What do you think of what Xun Yu said?"

Zhou Chen looked at Xiao He again.

"Your Majesty, this minister agrees with what Xun Shangshu reported."

"My Dazhou's land tax system has reached the point where it is difficult to return, and only rectification can make it look new."

"If I don't abolish the tax-exempt privileges of the family landowners, my Dazhou land tax will never be changed."

Xiao He said loudly.

Zhou Chen looked at Fang Xuanling and the Minister of War, the six important ministers of the six ministers.

"Your Majesty, the ministers also agree with what Xun Shangshu reported."

"Only by abolishing the right of tax exemption for the family landowners can Dazhou's land taxation be restored."

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and several other important ministers of the six ministers all agreed with Xun Yu.

Even the Minister of War, the Minister of Punishment, and the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian were no exception.

Yesterday, Zhou Chen called them into the palace, but the matter has been basically finalized.

Therefore, in this morning, the Minister of War and the Minister of Punishment, and Zhou Xian, the King of Eight Sages, did not dare to oppose it, and could only approve it unanimously.

Seeing that Fang Xuanling and the other six ministers and the prime minister, Xiao He, agreed with Xun Yu, the civil and military officials understood.

[Listen to me, currently the best app to use to read and listen to books, Mimi Reading,]

It turned out that His Majesty had already passed his anger with Xiao He and Fang Xuanling and other important ministers, and obtained the support of these important ministers.

At this time, the abolition of the tax exemption privileges for the landowners of noble families has basically been decided, even if some of their ministers objected to it, it would be useless.

"Your Majesty, no!"

"The tax exemption for landlords of aristocratic families. This is the rule set by the Taizu at the beginning. It is the preferential treatment and reward that Taizu gave to the wealthy families in the world to help Taizu stabilize the world."

"If Your Majesty abolishes the rules set by the Great Ancestor, it will be self-destructing the Great Wall."

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

There were still several ministers of noble families who were not reconciled, and knelt down and protested loudly.

It's not that the ministers of the aristocratic families are blind, and they can't see that the emperor Zhou Chen has decided to abolish the tax exemption privileges of the landlords of the aristocratic families.

But these noble family ministers know that they must oppose it to the end, and they cannot let Zhou Chen abolish the right of the family landlord to tax exemption.

Otherwise, once the tax-exempt rights of the family landowners are abolished, it will not be so easy to have such privileges again.

"enough."

Zhou Chen looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Emperor Taizu gave such a privilege to the landlords of the aristocratic families to make the landlords of the aristocratic families work better for me Da Zhou, not to let the landlords of the aristocratic families **** the blood of Da Zhou and dig the roots of Da Zhou."

"When Emperor Taizu established his country, 70% of the land in the Great Zhou Dynasty was in the hands of the common people, and only 30% of the land was in the hands of the landowners of aristocratic families."

"But what about now?"

Zhou Chen glanced coldly at the ministers kneeling on the ground.

"Now the land in the hands of the landlords of noble families accounts for 80%, and the land in the hands of the common people is less than 20%."

"Tell me, how much of the land is more than 50% different before and after, how much is the people willing to buy and sell to the landlords of the noble family, and how much is the landlord of the noble family who took it away?"

"Do you think that you don't even know about the dirty things behind the backs of the landlords of the family, your **** is not clean?"

"Would you like to ask Dongchang to properly check the wealthy families and your officials?"

Zhou Chen's cold and stern voice echoed in the hall.

Several noble family ministers who were kneeling on the ground couldn't help but shivered.

Especially the last sentence Zhou Chen said, or let the East Factory investigate their officials, it will frighten these ministers a lot.

You know, these high-ranking ministers basically have no clean buttocks.

If I really want Dongchang to investigate, even if I don't get sent to the guillotine, I have to remove the Usha from the top of my head and send him to prison.

Several officials of the aristocratic family who were kneeling on the ground bowed their heads and did not dare to say another word.

Their butts are not clean, and the secrets of the landlords of the aristocratic families are also unsustainable.

If it really provokes His Majesty's decree that the East Factory will investigate the world's aristocratic landlords thoroughly, then the final result will not be as simple as abolishing the tax-exempt rights of the aristocratic landlords.

Seeing that the ministers who were kneeling on the ground were silent, Zhou Chen stopped talking nonsense, and said loudly; "Pass my will, from now on, abolish the right of tax exemption for the landlords of the aristocratic families, and the rich and powerful families of the families must follow the imperial court. stipulations to pay taxes.”

"Abolish the land-equalization system and order the Minister of Household to change the Dazhou taxation system to a per-mu tax."

"From now on, the land that has been stolen by the common people will be checked, and the court will send officials to various places to accept the common people's papers."

"As long as the common people sue that the land has been exploited, no matter who it is, let me find out."

"..."

"The specific matters will be discussed by Xiao He and Xun Yu, and the other five departments will cooperate."

Zhou Chen made several orders in a row.

These intentions not only abolished the right of tax exemption for the landowners of noble families, changed the taxation of land, but also checked the land that had been plundered by the common people, cancelled customs duties, and increased business taxes.

Hearing these contents of Zhou Chen's will, Baiguan's expression changed slightly.

Once these wills are implemented, the landlords of the aristocratic families will not be able to think about it.

Only Xiao He, Fang Xuanling, and several other important officials remained calm. The contents of these wills were known to them in the Hall of Mental Cultivation yesterday.

Some of the contents of the will are still from the hands of these important ministers.

"besides."

"From now on, take back the rights of private soldiers of the wealthy family."

"Afterwards, the wealthy and powerful families are not allowed to keep private soldiers, and are not allowed to forge bow and crossbow weapons without permission. Violators will be punished as conspiracy."

Zhou Chen's unmistakable cold voice echoed in the hall.

After the rebellion of the wealthy families of Runan Yuan and Rongyang Zheng family, Zhou Chen already had the idea of ​​taking back the rights of private soldiers of the wealthy family.

Now, in this morning, riding the east wind that suppressed the dissent of hundreds of officials, Zhou Chen made this decree together.

As long as the aristocratic family's private military rights are taken back, it will not be so easy after the aristocratic family wants to riot again.

Zhou Chen's will to take back the power of the wealthy family's private soldiers came out.

The expressions of the civil and military officials in the hall all changed.

What?

Take back the power of the wealthy family's private soldiers?

Civil and military officials are all shocked.

None of them thought that Zhou Chen would not only abolish the tax-exempt rights of the wealthy families, but also take back the rights of private soldiers of the wealthy families.

Even Xiao He and Fang Xuanling, their important officials, were obviously stunned for a moment.

None of them knew that Zhou Chen intended to take back the private soldiers of the wealthy family.

Before, Zhou Chen had not mentioned it to them.

"Your Majesty, is it necessary to take a long-term view of taking back the power of the aristocratic family's private soldiers?"

Xiao He raised his eyebrows and stood up and said.

Some of these previous decrees have already had an impact on the aristocratic families~www.wuxiahere.com~ If this is another order to take back the rights of private soldiers of the aristocratic families.

Xiao He was afraid that he had acted too hastily and aroused the resistance of the wealthy family.

At that time, the aristocratic families will join forces to resist, but it will bring a lot of turmoil and influence to Da Zhou.

"Need not."

Zhou Chen shook his head unquestionably; "The alien races in the Great Zhou Dynasty have been wiped out, and there are no foreign enemies in the Great Zhou Dynasty after the passage. The inside and outside of the Great Zhou Dynasty are peaceful."

"Why do the wealthy families keep so many private soldiers?"

"Do you want to be like the Yuan family in Runan and the Zheng family in Rongyang, conspiring to usurp the throne?"

"All the private soldiers of the wealthy family are taken back to me. If anyone does not obey, they will directly charge me with the crime of treason, and they will be destroyed."

Zhou Chen said coldly.

It is imperative to take back the wealthy family to the private army.

No one can stop it.

Even the four gates are no exception.

If anyone wants to try Zhou Chen, the emperor's blade, then Zhou Chen doesn't recommend mobilizing a large army to destroy so many families first, kill chickens and show monkeys, and stand up.

Seeing Zhou Chen's unquestionable expression, Xiao He didn't say anything more and went back.

Some other ministers also wanted to speak out to persuade Zhou Chen.

But seeing Zhou Chen's unquestionable cold expression, it was useless for even Xiao He, the left minister, to speak, so these ministers had to swallow the words that came to their lips.

All civil and military officials knew in their hearts that the alien races outside the customs were wiped out, and Zhou Chen, the emperor, was going to clean up and rectify the interior of Da Zhou.

This is going to take a knife on the wealthy family.

After the decree was finished, Zaochao was nearing the end.

All the civil and military officials secretly sighed in relief. They were really afraid that Zhou Chen, the emperor, would have something to do with the aristocratic family.

Fortunately, no more.
