The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 340: Zhou Shizong’s Achievements (Part )
【Later Zhou Shizong·Guo Rong】

[Military achievements: The Battle of Gaoping stabilized the regime. The Western Expedition to Hou Shu recovered lost territory. The third expedition to Southern Tang seized Jiangbei and Huainan. The Northern Expedition to Liao recovered the land south of the pass. Rating B, three points.]

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
"Hey! I thought it was something extraordinary!"

Li Yuan was immediately relieved.

Sit comfortably on the bed and wrap the quilt around yourself.

He stretched out his voice and said:
"That's it?"

"You have been in power for six years and still haven't unified the world. In six years, I have unified the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Jiancheng frowned slightly, and Li Shimin lowered his head and remained silent.

Just be happy.

……

{The three-pointer is a bit high. How could Youzhou not even tie him?}
{No nonsense, if Chai Rong is not sick, Youzhou will be pacified!}
{What are you trying to prove? Your mouth?}
{Fuck, what a bad temper! When Zhou Shizong fought against Khitan, it was the time when Khitan was in decline! No one in history has ever used this time point to make a fuss! Because after the death of Sleeping Prince Yelü Jing, it was Yelü Xian and Xiao Yanyan who took over! }

{Even if we don’t mention these empty words, after breaking through Waqiao Pass, Chai Rong left the main force and rode ahead, and then he met a group of Khitan cavalry. History records that "all the officials were terrified. The Hu cavalry rushed out in groups to his (Chai Rong’s) left and right, but they did not dare to approach."}
{History records that "when the Khitan heard that he was personally leading the expedition, the ruler and his ministers were terrified." After conquering the three passes, Yelu Jing also said, "The three passes were originally Han territory. Now that they are returned to the Han, what is the loss?"}
{Youzhou commander Xiao Siwen "did not know where to start"}
{As for the Khitans in Youzhou, “all the foreign tribes (Khitans) in Youzhou also fled overnight.”}
{The Han people in Youyan and the capital were all terrified and often fled to the western mountains}
{Can this kind of big favorable position be closed? Can it be closed? }
……

Datang.

Li Shimin gulped down a cup of tea and breathed a sigh of relief.

He put the cup back on the tray and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

"If the king's heart is not strong, the general's heart will not be firm."

"The soldiers in the city are in disarray without fighting. If we attack Youzhou now, it is almost certain that we will be able to capture the city."

"What's more, the Zhou army is taking the water route to wait for the enemy to tire themselves out."

"This kind of... favorable situation makes me jealous!"

"Choose a great general to attack it, and the city will be as easy as taking something out of a bag."

Little Li Zhi looked for a long time but couldn't find the word "waterway".

"Aye, how do you know that the Zhou army is going by water?"

As soon as these words came out, several of His Highness' generals couldn't help but laugh.

"Find him a geomancy map."

Li Shimin waved his hand and stopped talking.

I told those idiots a lot, and now I have to tell you a lot again!
Do you think I'm made of iron? I don't need to rest!
Li Chengqian looked at the pouting little Li Zhi and said,

"Yijing Pass, Waqiao Pass, Yizhou, Zhuozhou, Mozhou, Yingzhou."

“All six of these places are related to one.”

Little Li Zhi raised his head with tears in his eyes and said with a slightly nasal tone:

"Brother...where are you?"

Li Chengqian wiped little Li Zhi's tears under Empress Changsun's gratified gaze and said softly:
"The confluence of the Hutuo River and the Yongji Canal, the 120-li Duliukou."

"To the west of Duliukou are Yijin Pass and Waqiao Pass, to the north are Yizhou and Zhuozhou, and to the south are Mozhou and Yingzhou."

"Yijing Pass is the closest to Duliukou. Judging from the direction of Zhou Shizong's march and the distance of the Zhou army's march, it is obvious that they are advancing by water."

Little Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he blinked his round eyes and said:

"Brother! You are so awesome!"

Li Chengqian was a little shy.

"Hey, it's okay...it's okay."

"Brother, how did you learn it?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian instantly recalled the fear of being dominated by his Aye when he was watching the Three Kingdoms in the East Palace.

"…Study hard."

Li Shimin, who was resting with his eyes closed, raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Who said I can't raise a son!

Isn’t this a good thing to raise?
……

Song Taizong period
Zhao Kuangyi looked at the sky and slowly exhaled.

At that time, I didn’t understand why Sejong wanted to withdraw his troops.

It is obvious that if we just leave one general behind, we can take Youzhou.

I also don't understand why my elder brother is willing to spend five million strings of cash to redeem the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

But once he got to this position, he understood.

"Who can take Youyan, and who can replace it?"

Once a general is sent to recapture Youyan, he will have to be given military power. But who can guarantee that a warrior given great power will not wear a yellow robe?

"The past is a lesson for the future." "The Five Dynasties..."

Who doesn’t envy the harmony between the emperor and his subjects during the Han and Tang dynasties?

But the short decades of the Five Dynasties announced that the relationship between the emperor and the generals would never be the same.

Even Zhou Shizong couldn't do it.

"The Son of Heaven... has strong troops and powerful horses..."

……

【Institutional Construction: The Imperial Army was actually a system for protecting the capital. "As a result, the soldiers were elite and strong, unparalleled in modern times, and they conquered all directions and won every battle. This was the result of their selection and training."

In March 955, an imperial decree was issued: "The farms of the fleeing households should be returned, and people should be allowed to apply for land tenancy and pay rent and taxes:
If the original owner of the farm returns within three years, half of the farm will be returned, and the rest will belong to the petitioner who requests to cultivate the land.

Come back within five years and return one third.

If one does not return within five years, the ownership of the land will be lost, except for the graves of the former owners.

For former land owners who have fled abroad, the deadline is extended to fifteen years.

If someone pretends to be a fugitive and fraudulently claims farmland, and the original owner returns, that person will unconditionally lose the right to use the land without any time limit.

In October 956 AD, an imperial decree was issued: From now on, summer taxes will be collected on June st, and autumn taxes will be collected on October st, and this will be a permanent rule.

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
Liu Heng put his hands on his knees, relaxed his brows and tapped his fingers lightly.

He was very happy; that was the benefit of having a decree.

Liu Qi frowned, somewhat confused.

"Father, these two months are when silk is produced and when crops are ripe."

"Why choose these two times to collect taxes? Isn't it too hasty?"

Liu Heng felt relieved when he saw Liu Qi, who was not very smart but cared about the people.

"You know what the downside of imposing taxes hastily is?"

Liu Qi said without hesitation:
"Of course it's bad for civilians."

“Only the powerful and wealthy can pay taxes whenever they are levied. For them, it makes no difference whether the taxes are levied early or late.”

"As for the common people, their annual harvest is just that little, and the court is eager to collect taxes, so they can only rely on borrowing to pay taxes."

Liu Heng nodded.

"Then do you know what the disadvantages of not limiting the tax period are?"

Liu Qi was stunned.

Liu Heng said slowly:
"If there is no set time for tax collection, the people will spend money and food to buy supplies in anxiety. When the family expenses are almost spent, the court will come to collect taxes, and they can only overdraw the next year's harvest as collateral."

Liu Heng sighed:
"In the end, they borrowed money from others at several times the interest rate to avoid being arrested and punished for not being able to pay taxes."

"Rapid collection is not good for the people, and delayed collection is also not good for the people."

Liu Qi glanced at the bamboo slips beside him and whispered:
"The people have a limited harvest, but the places where money and grain are needed are countless."

"So we should make them pay all the taxes they are supposed to pay while we still have money and grain in our hands after the harvest."

"Then the remaining money and food, whether sufficient or scarce, can be used to support the expenses of the next year through careful budgeting."

Liu Heng followed his line of sight and looked at the bamboo slips, and said softly:

"Yes, governing a large country is like cooking a small fish."

"You can't be impatient, but you can't be slow either."

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji crossed his fingers and pressed them against his lips.

The expression is solemn.

It seems that the severity of the escape at that time was so severe that it almost destroyed the entire social system.

In order to bid farewell to the old era completely, it does require bold, humane and creative decisions like Zhou Shizong's.

Hiss... Is this kid really a genius? !
There is also a deadline for the two-tax system...

Hiss... This is indeed a difficult place to focus on.

"Hiss! Be gentle!"

Yang Yuhuan, standing aside, was holding a cooked egg, looking angry.

Looking at Li Longji with his swollen eyes, he was so angry!

You are just being pretentious!

Does it hurt so much?
"Then be gentle."
