Chapter 309
In Ning Yu's eyes, although Yongzheng's policy of distributing gentry to mu is a good policy, it will be subject to internal checks and balances after all, and it will not be possible to step up to the level where officials and gentry work together to pay for errands. This actually greatly affected the policy. Effect.

Because there is still a loophole in front of the big net of allotment and mu, that is, the gentry is exempted from the corvee, which is a kind of privilege exempted by the imperial court from taxes and servitude. Of course, this privilege did not only come from the Qing Dynasty, but continued. For thousands of years, the so-called punishment does not go to the doctor, and this tax will also not go to the scholar-bureaucrat.

In today's era, as long as you are a scholar with a reputation, you can basically enjoy such privileges. For example, a scholar can exempt himself from taxes, a scholar can exempt two people besides himself, and a Jinshi can exempt four to six people, except for scholars. In addition, officials also have the privilege of preferential exemption. In terms of official rank, first-rank officials or those with titles can remove up to 24 people, and the privilege of preferential exemption is still valid after the official becomes a squire.

It is precisely because the gentry have such preferential treatment and privileges that many people will send their land to the gentry so that they can avoid being taxed by the court.Therefore, in the later stage, even if it is a scholar who has just been admitted to Juren, someone will post it. This is very scary, which means that a large amount of taxes from the imperial court has been swallowed up by the gentry group.

Strictly speaking, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they reflected on the accumulated disadvantages of the previous Ming Dynasty. However, on this point, they did worse than the previous Ming Dynasty. That is, the Eight Banners nobles took the lead in collecting a large amount of investment, The Princes of the Eight Banners and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will set up Nayin villages with a lot of land, and those who bring more land will be the head of the village. Others who have not brought land can get rope land for their masters and become the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The labor force of Huangzhuang and the Prince's Manor of the Eight Banners.

Although all dynasties have invested in the houses of officials and nobles, especially in troubled times, it is common for civilians to invest in the houses of officials and nobles in order to survive the famine or avoid various persecutions. Large, it is because the rulers of the Qing Dynasty at that time deliberately implemented a large-scale land enclosure.

Therefore, what Ning Yu can be sure of is that in this environment, Yongzheng wants to be in place in one step, and there are still many things that need to be done internally. If it stabilizes, if you blindly apply strong medicine, the chance of collapse is extremely high, and Yongzheng's wisdom will not fail to see this.

But the Fuhan army is different. It itself is a new force, and the internal interest relationship has not yet developed to the point where it is so intertwined. If it really moves, it will not touch so much. That's all for peace, just enough to behead another batch of people.

"Writing to the Chu Palace, write down the relevant policies of Yongzheng this time, and also write down the integration of officials and gentry as errands and pay. We have to make it simple first."

Li Fu quickly spread out the rice paper on the table, pressed it with a copper paperweight, then took a Langhao pen, and began to write.Since all the ins and outs of this story are already in his mind, and coupled with the communication with Ning Yu, he has already seen clearly the stakes in it, and the writing is smooth and smooth.

Every time Li Fu filled a blank sheet of paper, the officials on the side hung up the blank sheet of paper and waited to dry to prevent the ink from sticking. .

"Mu Tanggong is worthy of being the successor of Lu Wang's sect. He writes straight to the liver, without embellishments. He is the most upright Qiu Zhi of Jiangxi."

Ning Yu read all the words on the white paper, only to feel hearty, and couldn't help admiring loudly, no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to write such meticulous words.

Li Fu put away the pen, took a sip from his teacup, and let out a long sigh of satisfaction. This article must be blameless in Wuchang.

Ning Yu picked up the last one and looked at it. After reading it carefully, he felt that some things were still not fully expressed, so he immediately looked at Li Fu.

"End?"

"finished"

The two met each other for a moment, but they were speechless. Ning Yu was a little dumbfounded. He read it carefully again, but still felt that he hadn't expressed his thoughts.

"If it's just that, maybe it's not enough, please ask Mr. to write, and add another paragraph at the end."

".The prefectures and counties of Sichuan Province are mostly food-loaded. The gentry, the tribute, the prison, etc., are all excellent and exempt from the corvee. Please use the name of the exempt to ban the leather forever, and be an errand with the people... Gentlemen have no pennies and silver. You Mian, every private Confucian family and eunuch's name and sex, or the name of the gentry and tribute supervisor, Bao Fang's clever escape, many emotional disadvantages, his descendants and grandchildren's family and family abuse, and private Confucian family eunuchs and those who arrange treacherous senders, check Out of punishment."

Li Fu knew that the governor of his family was a decisive person, so he lifted the table as soon as he said it, but he was still a little worried, and said in a low voice: "Nowadays is a time of great controversy. I went to the Qing court. Do you want to be stable first?"

"Mu Tang, although it is a world of great controversy, it is even more important to cut through the mess quickly. The sooner this matter is done, the less hidden dangers will be in the future. Only by fundamentally controlling it and making a profit out of it Only in this way can we fundamentally abolish this maladministration.”

Ning Yu sighed slightly in his heart. After all, Li Fu is a member of the gentry group. No matter how loyal he is, he will subconsciously resist such policies that harm the interests of the gentry. This has nothing to do with the limitations of his time, but only with his position That's all.

It seems that after the anti-Qing war is over in the future, we will have to deal with these gentry inside!
"These will not be implemented immediately, but will be reflected in the new land tax system in the future, and will also be the first batch of decrees promulgated after my father ascended the throne!"

Ning Yu's words revealed an extremely important message, that is, the Fuhan Army is finally going to establish a national system!
Li Fu didn't know much about some of these things, but when he learned about it, he couldn't help being a little excited!

The founding of the country not only means that his Ning family has become a royal family, but even the other founding heroes will be named princes and princes. The big guys come out and tie their heads on their belts to fight the world. ?
Of course, at this time, Ning Yu proposed to put the reform of the farmland mu system after he ascended the throne. In fact, he made an exchange with the meritorious gentry inside the Fuhan Army, that is, rewarding high-ranking officials and generous salaries for you, but you have to guarantee one thing, that is The field mu system of the new dynasty was carried out smoothly!

It is very important for Ning Yu that the new acreage system can be carried out smoothly, because it is related to whether farmers, who account for [-]% of them, can be stabilized under the new regime. The foundation of the country established by the Fuhan Army has also stabilized, and it can be said that it is related to the future of the community.

Ning Yu doesn't expect all the farmers to follow the Fuhan Army from the bottom of their hearts, because Ning Yu can't bring enough benefits to win them over. As long as they can be stabilized, it will be a victory for Ning Yu.

To put it bluntly, this era is a worse one. As long as the Fuhan army is stronger than the Qing court, Bailian sect, and Zhu Yigui, it is enough to guarantee people's hearts.As for the support of the people, it can only be considered in the future when enough benefits are plundered from other places.

The winter of 95 in Chongzhen was particularly cold. Since Ning Zhongyuan became queen, he announced the use of the Chongzhen Era. Therefore, the 61st year of Kangxi became the 95th year of Chongzhen.

By the end of November, the Fu-Han army had completely captured the entire territory of Zhejiang. Among them, the fifth division was stationed on the front line of Huaibei to prevent the Qing army from Shandong from going south, while the sixth division was stationed at the junction of Anhui and Henan to prevent the Qing army from going east in Henan. Enter.And the first division, third division, fourth division and seventh division, under the leadership of Cheng Ming, Uji Jing and others, began to advance at full speed in the direction of Fujian.

Of course, the nominal generalissimo is naturally Ning Yu, but Ning Yu did not follow the troops to fight Fujian. He still has to stay in Jiangning to make plans for his father's ascension to the throne in Jiangning next year. At this time, Jiangning needs Ning Yu for all matters To deal with it, so it is too busy to leave.

On the issue of ascension to the throne, Ning Yu and Wuchang have actually communicated many times. The main problem is still reflected in one point, that is, whether to ascend the throne in Wuchang or in Jiangning, divided into two waves of people quarreling endlessly.

Some elders of the Ning family, Cheng family, and Zheng family, mainly led by Cheng Yuanzhi and Ning Zhongjing, thought it would be safer to ascend the throne in Wuchang. Wuchang has not been through war for a long time and has not been damaged much, so it is more suitable for enthronement.

But the young people headed by Ning Yu think that Jiangning is not only the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, but also the capital of the Ming Dynasty, which has a very far-reaching meaning. With Jiangshan as the goal, if Jiangning can be established as the capital, and then changed to Yingtian Mansion, there will be quite a miraculous effect.

Although the Fuhan Army will not really rebuild the Ming Dynasty, it would be a very good choice if it uses this kind of beneficial and cost-effective method to absorb the hearts of some old Ming scholars.

Especially in Ning Yu's heart, there is another idea, that is, at the beginning of the establishment of the new dynasty, drastic reforms should be carried out. If they are still in Wuchang, they will inevitably be checked and balanced by the conservative forces inside the Fuhan Army. It is unacceptable to say that, in this case, it is better to put the capital in Jiangning, which can also weaken these forces.

In the first ten days of December, the troops of the Fuhan Army had advanced to Shaowu Mansion, Jianning Mansion, and Funing Mansion, while the remnants of the Qing army led by Manbao no longer dared to stay in Fuzhou and began to retreat towards Zhangzhou. At this time, Zhu Yigui's army on Kinmen Island also attacked repeatedly, and fought against the Qing army many times in the Quanzhou area, all of which gained certain advantages.

The fall of Fujian has become a foregone conclusion, but for the Fuhan army, the upcoming encounter with Zhu Yigui's Ming army has become a problem. To a certain extent, they are all allies, but the current Qing army in the south is completely Defeat was already predictable. There was no such layer of buffer between the Fuhan army and the Ming army, and it was inevitable to face a collision.

Before marching into Fujian, Ning Yu had actually reserved such a situation. His orders to Cheng Ming, U Zhijing and other division commanders were very simple. The southern provinces will be the territory of the Fuhan Army in the future. If the Ming Army takes action , according to the hit is not wrong, do not show mercy.

From Ning Yu's point of view, after the Fuhan army becomes emperor in the future, the relationship with Zhu Yigui and the White Lotus Sect should change a lot. It only takes a moment to change from an ally to an enemy, so you don't have to hold back when you meet .

Of course, since the Chinese New Year is not long away, the Fuhan Army has temporarily stopped, and Ning Yu is also rushing back to Wuchang. This time, the largest meeting of the Fuhan Army will be held in Wuchang. Its purpose is naturally for the enthronement in the coming year, and this will become the most critical thing for the Fuhan Army at present.

On the Yangtze River, more than a dozen large ships sailed across the rivers and mountains. The snowflakes falling from the sky dyed this piece of heaven and earth into a vast expanse of whiteness. No one could tell where the sky was and where the earth was. It's beautiful.

Ning Yu was wearing a thick cloak and stood on the bow of the boat, admiring the river view.

Chen Caiwei on the side secretly glanced at his face, but the more he looked at it, the more he liked this face. His appearance was bright, his eyes were bright and his eyebrows were sparse, especially his demeanor was very gentle, and it didn't seem like he was scolding him at all. Fang Qiu's general, the governor, blushed a little just looking at it.

Ning Yu was thinking about the major events he was going to plan in the future, but he didn't see that blushing appearance, which was a bit of a pity.

"Husband, what should I do when I go back to Wuchang to see my sister this time?" Chen Caiwei suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Speaking of which, since she married Ning Yu, she has not been able to return to Wuchang. Going back to Wuchang, there will be a lot of people to meet, especially Cui Si, Ning Yu's other wife.

Chen Caiwei knew Cui Si, the daughter of the left counselor of the Fuhan Army Political Hall, and Ning Yu's younger sister, her status is definitely not comparable to her, the so-called White Lotus Saintess, in fact, in the current Fuhan Army, almost No one will take the White Lotus Sect seriously, because it is too weak, and its actions are too unscrupulous. In addition, her father Chen Daoxian is now imprisoned, and she is even more penniless as a saint. worth it.

Ning Yu stretched out his hand to hold Chen Caiwei's little hand, but felt a little cold, so he subconsciously put it on his lips, let out a breath, and said with a smile, "It's okay, Si'er has a calm temper, and I must like you very much when I see you." Your hands are too cold, you should go back to the cabin."

"No..." Chen Caiwei didn't mean to take her little hand away at all. Instead, she snuggled up to Ning Yu's side. Although the expression on her face didn't change much, her eyes had already bent into a crescent moon.

"Husband, it would be great if this scenery could last forever."
