Emperor’s Battlefield: I, Zhu Houzhao, like to push horizontally

Chapter 209 Conquer the world in ten days
The court acted very quickly.

With the dispatch of a new batch of officials, the court's new policies were also announced to the entire Ming Dynasty.

Some are happy with the new policy, while others are dissatisfied.

For example, what makes the people happy is the elimination of thousands of years of corvee service and new reforms in agricultural taxation.

Those who are dissatisfied are merchants and wealthy families.

Because the new court law stipulates that in addition to paying taxes for the country, some people allowed by the court can be exempted from certain taxes, and everyone from the royal family to ordinary people must pay taxes.

Even Zhu Houzhao, the current emperor, had to pay taxes on the one-third-acre land in the palace.

Even the emperor has to pay taxes, why don't you teach him?
In addition to agricultural taxes, commercial taxes have also been reformed and unified towards the gate of the new world, and all businessmen must go to designated departments to apply for business certificates.

It is illegal to sell things rashly without a business certificate.

Ordinary merchants and hawkers, even if you just sell candied haws, must apply for corresponding certificates.

This is not to target anyone, but to completely stabilize the court's commercial tax revenue.

In addition to the tax aspect, the most intolerable thing for men is that from the day the edict was issued, all men in the world, from the lord to the common people, were not allowed to take concubines privately.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, only the emperor had the right to marry a concubine, and no family was allowed to take a concubine into the house for any reason when there was a head wife.

Of course, if someone is willing to be his lover voluntarily, then the court can't control it. Anyway, they are not allowed to take concubines in the name.

The reason why the imperial court issued this edict was mainly for future considerations.

As technology develops, problems between men and women are bound to explode.

Rather than a major conflict breaking out in the future and causing considerable chaos, it would be better for the court to implement it in advance.

Besides, those who can really afford a concubine are not ordinary people.

Ordinary people with ordinary heads may not even be able to afford a wife, let alone concubines.

Therefore, this policy is mainly aimed at the middle and upper classes, trying to maintain equality in the relationship between men and women, so as to prevent the local Ming women from standing up to protest due to the information explosion in the future and seeing the status of women in the Ming Dynasty in the new world.

In addition to these policies, engineering teams went to various cities one after another, using things that ordinary people regarded as sacred objects to quickly lay roads.

The road is very wide and smooth.

In addition, various places have also begun to build stations and establish rapid transportation facilities.

With the assistance of a series of advanced tools, the Engineering Department has announced that all major arteries within Ming Dynasty will be completed within three months.

Within half a year, all roads in various towns and villages were built, and within eight months, all villages in the Ming Dynasty were connected to asphalt cement roads.

Factories bloomed all over the Ming Dynasty.

Factory owners from the New World, waving brand-new Ming Dynasty banknotes, took batches of people out of the farmland and sent them to factories to make big money.

At first, the people were a little worried, thinking that these people were no different from the previous landlords.

But they really couldn't resist the temptation of the settlement fee. When signing a contract, it was like signing a deed of sale.

As a result, when they entered the factory, their eyes were widened.

They were dazzled by the spacious factory, the neat dormitories, and the quilts that could only be made for weddings.

Especially when eating, I almost overwhelmed several people.

The rice is full, and the dishes are one meat and one vegetarian.This is known as the worst food treatment in the New World Factory. In the eyes of these local Ming people, they are even happier than the Chinese New Year.

This is not a chef recruiting workers, this is the God of Wealth descending to earth.

At first, some people thought it was only like this for a day or two, but after eating it for a month, they finally felt at ease.

And when they paid their wages, they looked at a dozen banknotes with Zhu Houzhao's face printed on them, and tears flowed from their eyes.

This new currency has been rapidly opened in Ming Dynasty.

Everyone knows that this is the currency used in the New World. Billions of people are using it, so there is nothing to worry about.

An old man looked at a wad of banknotes in his hand, couldn't help but cover his face with excitement, and burst into tears.

His salary this month is 6800, which is equivalent to six to eight thousand silver based on previous prices.

Oh my god, I just drive screws on some iron frames every day. I have three meals a day, enough food and meat, and I earn more than six taels of silver a month.

The old man has never had such a dream in his eight lifetimes.

Now he is afraid, he is just dreaming, for fear that when he wakes up from the dream, all this will disappear, and he will return to the days when he has no enough food to eat and no warmth, and in winter he is worried about the elderly and children at home starving to death and freezing to death.

The old man still earns little.

According to what he heard, a woman in their village embroidered in a handmade embroidery factory and received 2 yuan a month. As the best embroiderer in the room, her boss also rewarded her family with a tricycle.

The old man heard that people in the New World are very strange. They have so many kinds of clothes to wear, but they like this kind of hand-embroidered clothes, saying that this is called art.

The old man shook his head in ignorance. He didn't understand what art was in the minds of these well-fed people.

Carefully stuffing his salary into the deepest part of his pocket, he took out a 10-yuan ticket. The old man bought a pack of his grandson's most coveted candies from the canteen in the factory area, and went home happily.

Earth-shaking changes are taking place within the Ming Dynasty, and the entire world is not at peace either.

Ten days ago, the five legions, under the leadership of Xu Da, officially launched a global unification war.

When the spaceship mecha came to Europe, those white-skinned pigs were dumbfounded.

They looked at their broken-hair guns, then at the mecha that sprayed out streaks of blue light, and fell directly into doubts in their lives.

Later, after they were captured, everyone was confused when they heard that this god-like army came from the Ming Dynasty in the east.

Are they from the same era?
Is this really the Eastern country they understand?
In their impression, the East is powerful, such as Genghis Khan, but no matter how powerful it is, it will not be so powerful.

This is not an army that can be found in the world. I am afraid that even if Zeus comes, he will have to suffer from two big enemies.

Facing the ultra-sci-fi army, the Europeans who were clamoring to conquer the world with their newly developed break-guns raised their hands honestly.

Are you kidding me about resistance?
You thought it was Independence Day.

In less than ten days, countries across Europe raised the white flag.

Now that the Ming army has not yet arrived, some guys got the Ming army flag from nowhere and hung it directly on their city.

They said that they had longed for the Ming Dynasty for a long time, but those countries that the Ming Dynasty conquered in the past few days were blocking them, and they could not fall into the arms of the Ming Dynasty's father.

Now that Ming's father is here, he naturally wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, and thrive under the banner of Ming's sun and moon.
