Chapter 271 Slanderous Advice (1)

Changan.

Guanju Palace.

Zhao Yuankai reviewed the memorials last night until late at night.

When I was tired, I moved directly to Guanju Palace, where Qingyou slept.

Today is the day when the court rises once every five days.

At five watch, Zhao Yuankai had already woken up, seeing the beauty beside her pillow sleeping soundly, Zhao Yuankai did not disturb her.

He waved his hand at the maids, and moved to the hall to change clothes.

The dragon robes were presented by the eunuchs from the Golden Dragon Palace. A group of court ladies and eunuchs knelt outside Guanju Palace, lined up for hundreds of meters.

Tai Chi Temple.

When Zhao Yuankai ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Position, Wenwu Chaoguan had already waited on the vast square between Taiji Hall and Chengtianmen, and three thousand guards were in control of the four directions, majestic and solemn!
With the establishment of the basic board and the stability of the dynasty, and Zhao Yuankai's achievements and government orders are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the majesty of the imperial power of the Han Dynasty is being revealed and restored!
This Weiyang Palace finally has the appearance of the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom!
"Xuanwen, Wu and hundreds of officials go to court!" Zhao Yuan opened his dragon robe and tossed it.

The eunuch in front of the palace shouted.

After a while, all civil and military officials entered the Taiji Hall, knelt down, kowtowed, and shouted:
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Everyone loves you." Zhao Yuan waved his hand.

Under the dragon robe emperor crown, Zhao Yuankai's face was a little gloomy, but his majesty remained undiminished, and the emperor was mighty.

The past few days can be regarded as the most turbulent period in the country.

Zhao Yuankai looked coldly at the court officials of His Highness, and said:
"Start with six."

As soon as the words fell, Shangshu Hubu bowed and stepped out, his old face was full of excitement and awe, and shouted:

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce!"

"Zoo!" Zhao Yuan nodded.

"Report to Your Majesty, after the implementation of the Qing Zhang Tian Mu decree, the Zhongzhou government implemented a new tax law to divide the land into mu, which greatly reduced the taxation of the people, and the population of various places has surged!" said the Minister of the Household Department.

As soon as these words came out, many court officials were stunned.

Population explosion?
How can this be?

The great reform of the land and taxation system is the benevolent government of Fuze Wanmin, but it has only just been implemented. How can the population increase suddenly?
The old lady Fu Sun Qingnian quickly bowed and stood up, saying:

"Master Shangshu, are your words inappropriate? Could it be that you want to please His Majesty with slanderous words? It is indeed a rare benevolent policy in ancient and modern times, but it has only just been implemented. How can the population increase dramatically?"

"Yes, Lord Shangshu, you can't slander and advise!"

"That's right. As a courtier, I can't fool His Majesty's eyes and ears!"

Many court officials consciously stood up and refuted it.

The smile on Zhao Yuankai's face grew stronger.

It can be seen that the atmosphere of government officials in the country is indeed improving.

"Don't blame the Minister of the Household Department, he is right!"

Zhao Yuan laughed and waved his hands, and then revealed the real truth behind these words.

"After the people were settled into the mu, the population tax was abolished, and those ordinary people who were afraid to register with the household department in order to avoid the population tax all appeared at once. Of course, the population increased dramatically!" Zhao Yuan laughed.

Hubu Shangshu was terrified just now, when he heard this, he immediately fell in love with the five bodies that His Majesty admires today!

He kowtowed to the ground and shouted:
"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"It is precisely because of the abolition of the population tax that those common people who dare not register with the household registration department stand up. Right now, the population of common people registered in various parts of Zhongzhou has suddenly increased by one-third!"

"Now they are very grateful for His Majesty's grace. After the land is divided equally, everyone is full of energy. Even in this winter, every household is repairing the farmland day and night!"

In fact, the population explosion in the registered household department was already expected by Zhao Yuankai.

When he had just time travelled, he read a lot of information, and found that this otherworldly Kyushu man clearly had a large territory and a world of high martial arts, but the population of the kingdom was only a million or so.

Jizhou Wufu Minfeng has a population of more than 120 million.

And Zhongzhou is the capital of the kingdom, at the foot of the emperor, the territory is obviously not much different from Jizhou, but there are only about one million people!

Later, after reviewing the tax law, Zhao Yuankai understood.

In the history of China, the implementation of a whip bar has a certain historical significance, but it can be said that the tax was greatly reduced and the population exploded, or it was the appearance of spreading the income into the mu!
The core issue of dividing the population into the mu is the abolition of the population tax!

Among those complicated and heavy taxes, the biggest one is the population tax, commonly known as the poll tax.

In order to avoid this personal tax, many poor people directly hid and became black households.

but now!
After the distribution of people into the mu, the per capita tax is gone.

The household-to-household distribution of land is based on the population. Whoever has a larger population, the more acres of land will be evenly distributed to the end!

and so!
Those people who had not registered with the household department all came out at once.

In order to get more acres of land for each household, and to increase the productivity of small farmers based on the family unit in the future, they began to create people in full swing...

Zhao Yuankai was very pleased.

What is a country at all?
It's people!

The explosive growth of population, in the era of cold weapons, is the most effective and fastest national policy to enhance national power!

"By the way, I have reviewed a lot of memorials submitted by Hongnong County in the past few days. It is said that many common people from the south of the Han River cross the river to the north every day. How is your household department responding?"

Zhao Yuankai suddenly remembered this matter and asked directly.

When reviewing the memorial at that time, his instruction was that if the vassal king rebelled, the people would be innocent!
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I asked the Hongnong County Captain to control the ferry. As for those who cross the river to the north, as long as they are ordinary people, they will be taken over by the local officials, and then assigned to the sparsely populated areas to help them reclaim the land and be self-reliant. !"

When Hubu Shangshu said this, he paused for a while, and added another sentence:
"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say. Under the rule of Jizhou, which borders Luoyang County, many common people have recently moved to Luoyang to settle down!"

"Jizhou?"

Zhao Yuankai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

Then he flicked his sleeve robe and said:
"All the common people in Jizhou will be repatriated, and they are not allowed to move in! In addition, tell them that whether the new policy of Zhongzhou will be implemented in Jizhou depends on the customs and sentiments of the people in Jizhou!"

At the beginning, Zhao Yuankai attached great importance to Jizhou.

After all, this is the big Han's national warehouse, with dense paddy fields and fertile land. Under Zhu Yunhu's deep cultivation, he has accumulated wealth for a long time!
But even the hearts of the people do not belong to the Han, and even Zhu Lingxue's heart was hurt by these people.

and so.

Zhao Yuankai directly changed his strategy at that time.

Let Zhao Yun lead the army to take over Jizhou, start a strong suppression, forcefully confiscate the surplus grain from each household and put it into the national warehouse, and carry out unified deployment at the national level!

As for the grievances of the people in Jizhou, Zhao Yuankai directly ignored them, and then vigorously carried out the reform of officials in Zhongzhou and the implementation of new laws.

When Zhu Yunhu was deeply involved in Jizhou, it was nothing more than a little relaxation in tax collection, construction of water conservancy to ensure people's livelihood, and at the same time eliminate banditry!
