Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 920

It is August [-]th of the year again, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the city of Luoyang is extraordinarily lively and festive.

Years of wars, finally saw the end of the hope.Although there are still three feudal clans in the south of the Yangtze River, at least the north has been completely calmed down.

With the pacification of the war in the north, the emperor also issued an imperial edict to exempt the two taxes a year from the Taoists in Longyou Shuofang Dingxiang, Huainan Guanzhong, East River, Hebei Province.

At the same time, with the pacification of the north, the imperial court also began to send officials to the northern provinces to assess subordinate officials, conduct a comprehensive census of population and household registration, and clear the land, and then fully implement the two tax laws on this basis.

The imperial court also officially abolished the tax system of rent and adjustment, and fully implemented the two-tax law.The two-tax law is divided into household tax and land tax. Households are divided into nine classes according to rich and poor, and land is collected according to mu.

Although the granting of land is still based on average land, it is no longer based on tena rent adjustment, but household tax and land rent are paid on the basis of households and acres of land.In addition, all miscellaneous taxes are included in the two taxes, and no additional collection will be made.For example, the common people will no longer use free service in the future, because the two taxes they pay already include a sum of money for service.

If the imperial court wants to serve, it pays to hire them. If the people are conscripted to serve, they no longer serve for free, on the contrary, they still have money.

In the past, they had to serve 20 days free of charge a year, and if they did not finish their service, they would have to pay for the service and call it Yisidaiyong.

Under the new two-tax system, both officials, gentry, aristocrats, and common people all pay food and taxes as a whole.In the past, officials did not pay class and did not serve in the military. Now the same is the tax per mu, and the same is paid for the service. The only difference is that the officials can deduct the corresponding tax deduction according to their grades, but the children and brothers other than themselves Relatives, etc., cannot be exempted.

The new tax system is simpler and is collected in summer and autumn, which is also more fair and reasonable.

Those who occupy a lot of land and rich families pay more taxes, those who occupy less land pay less tax, and those who have no land will have no land tax, and those who have no property and no household tax.

At the same time, there are industrial and commercial taxes for industry and commerce, and special taxes for tea, salt, wine, mines, etc., which were unprecedented in the Sui Dynasty.

There is no sign that there will be a big war in the future. Although everyone knows that the three kings in the south will definitely be wiped out, at least not now.

In Ziwei Palace.

The emperor set up a palace banquet today to entertain the heroes.

Luo Siye, Yin Kaishan, Duan Zhixuan, Hou Junji, etc. who pacified Guanlong; Luo Cunxiao, Feng Xiaoci, Zhao Gui, etc. who pacified Hebei; Luo Shixin, Xu Shiji, etc.

There were also Qin Qiong, Su Dingfang, Du Fuwei, Fu Gonghu, Kan Leng, Wang Xiongdan, etc. who pacified Huainan.

Shan Xiongxin, Huang Jun, Han Zhai Rang, etc. in Pingdingshan Nanhanzhong.

Luo Yi, Li Xizhi, Feng An, Li Jing, etc. who pacified Lingnan.

Also accompanied by the prime ministers of the court, Hou Mochen, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Zhang Xutuo, Du Yan, etc.

But it was another group of people who caught the most attention.

When Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, Li Gui, Chen Leng, Murong Shun, Liang Shiluo, Li Shimin and others entered the palace, the eyes of all the prime ministers and heroes became very interesting.

"Mr. Pushan, this way please!"

A servant came over and called Li Mi, who was a little distracted, and asked him to take a seat according to his number.

Seeing that Li Mi actually sat on top of him, Chi Gong, Duke of E State, immediately turned his black face even darker. He covered his face and slapped Li Mi directly on the table.

"Who are you, a defeated general, dare to sit on top of me?"

Li Mi was taken aback, he was small and had a black face, but he looked very small when he sat with Yuchi Lao Hei, and Yuchi was almost twice his size, at the palace banquet, He yelled at him in front of the court full of ministers and prime ministers, which made Li Mi very embarrassed.

Originally, after surrendering to the Qin Dynasty, he should not be reused. Although he was granted the position of Jiuqing and a county duke, he was actually sitting on the bench. Even the affairs in the temple were actually in the hands of Shaoqing. It doesn't matter whether he goes to the Yamen or not.

But no matter how aggrieved he was, no one had humiliated him in public like today.

Li Mi is also a person with a temper. I think he was the leader of the Central Plains in those days, and he had an army of 40.And at that time, Yuchi Laohei was still blacksmithing on behalf of Bei.

"These seats are all arranged, and I just took the seat according to the number. You shouldn't ask me why I am above you!" He also directly responded.

"What do you mean, do you want to say that your contribution is higher than mine?" Yuchi originally thought that he was brave enough to fight, but he was not among the 24 heroes of Lingyan Gong who founded the country, and he was not among the heroes of Yuan Cong in Liaodong.

Although he was granted the title of Duke of E, he was still very upset.

Now that Li Mi is such a surrender, he still has to sit in front of him, which is even more uncomfortable. Li Mi dares to be so indifferent now, and his violent temper suddenly came up.

Without saying a word, just punch and hit.

Li Mi is good at strategy, in terms of bravery alone, he can't beat Yu Chigong even out of ten.Even if Yuchi didn't have a horse in his hand, he was still a master.

With one punch, Li Mi was sent flying.

Li Zhongwen, who was also a descendant over there and was able to attend today, was not far away from Li Mi. When he saw his nephew being beaten flying, he was also annoyed and jumped on him.

The two fought back and forth.

Li Shimin watched the scene coldly, without saying a word.On the contrary, his cousin Li Daozong actively stepped forward to persuade him to fight.

"Stop hitting me, what a shame."

It's okay if he doesn't persuade, Yu Chigong saw that Li Zhongwen was pulling his hand, Li Shentong came to pull him again, and he was even more annoyed at the moment, "You're a bird again, get out!"

As he said that, he punched Li Shentong right in the left eye, making Li Shentong dizzy and even bleeding from his eyes.

Li Shimin was drinking cold wine for himself, but he almost went blind when he saw the supernatural power, and he was furious, and he jumped up and smashed Yu Chigong's head fiercely after discussing the cases in front of him.

Yuchi Gong shook his head and saw that it was Li Er with one eye.

"court death!"

He swung his arm and punched, Li Shimin had already taken precautions and dodged it, but Yuchi's ferocity was extraordinary, he immediately swung his arm and punched him again, although Li Shimin raised his arm to block it, he still felt the pain in his arms.

"Don't hurt my second brother!"

Xuan Ba ​​rushed over, he swung his fists and smashed them down like shooting stars.

Over there, Li Mi also got up from the ground, turned around and joined the battle group, and also took the opportunity to besiege Yu Chi Gong. For a while, the battle was lively.

The emperor had just come in from outside the palace when he saw this coming out.

I couldn't help being annoyed at the moment, "What's going on?"

Wei Zheng came forward with a smile, and briefly explained the matter, "This Yuchi old black is a bit confused!"

Luo Cheng stepped forward and shouted, "Enough, stop!"

Yuchi originally wanted to retort, what kind of onion are you, but when he turned his head and found that it was the emperor, he quickly put down his raised fist.
