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

Chapter 461: The Yuan Dynasty Emperors Running Wildly on the Wrong Path

[People’s Livelihood and Economy: Shortly after the fall of the Song Dynasty, a number of unusually heavy tax laws were enacted]

【Regular taxes are divided into two types: land tax and capitation tax. Land tax is calculated based on the acreage of land, and capitation tax is paid based on the number of capitation. Land tax and capitation tax are not paid together, and both are paid as millet.】

[The Ding tax is three shi of millet per Ding.]

[Land tax: three liters of millet per mu.]

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
"That is to say..."

Liu Qi swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice:
"Per household...per year...per mu..."

"At least you have to hand over... three stone and three liters of millet!"

"Three stones and three liters! How much will be left for the people?"

Liu Heng closed his eyes.

Why...why don’t you treat the people as human beings!
It is obvious that the people can be satisfied by just giving them a little bit of food.

Why do you insist on plundering everything?
What you bring with you when you are born you can’t take with you when you die.

What exactly are you obsessed with?

“What did the people do wrong?”

Will you pay the price?

"Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different races?"

Liu Heng opened his eyes and looked at the sky coldly.

He could see the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

Just wait for the right time.

……

[In addition to the regular taxes, there was also "Kecai", which was to use money in lieu of labor service.]

【The tax includes two items: silk material and silver.】

[The silk weighs one pound, six ounces and four qian, and is wrapped in four ounces of silver.]

[There were also "extra taxes" with as many as 32 items, and every plant and tree in the folk was subject to taxation.]

[In addition, various commercial goods and iron smelting were also taxed.]

[Salt, tea, wine, and vinegar are monopolized by the government.]

……

Great Sui.

"You guys are really crazy about money!"

Yang Jian looked at these various 'wonderful ideas' and had only one thought.

"Barbarians!"

As soon as the country was established, it did its utmost to plunder.

If I don’t oppose you, who should I oppose?

……

Datang.

Li Shimin watched all this with an expressionless face.

The officials of the Zhenguan court could not bear to watch any longer.

It is impossible to rule the world immediately, this is the custom set when the country was founded.

And what is ruling the world on horseback?

That’s it!

It is just a disguise of taxation for the plundering policy on the grassland.

That is, there is neither a reasonable legal system nor a clear governance route.

Only by collecting taxes can one satisfy desires.

They have seen that in order to prevent reaction and maintain their continued extortion.

Countless people will die under the massive repressive force and unequal laws.

……

[The banknote system was also adopted, with banknotes replacing cash. ]

[In 1260 AD, Jiaochao was first minted. ]

[The method is based on silk. Every fifty taels of silver can be exchanged for one thousand taels of silk notes. All prices are based on the price of silk.]

[At the same time, the excessive issuance of banknotes resulted in the fact that since 1287, strings of banknotes could not be exchanged for one bushel of millet.]

[Evaluation level E·Zero points]

……

During the Song Dynasty and Renzong Period
The emperor, his ministers and others in the courtyard were all stunned.

"Mad man... Mad man..."

Ouyang Xiu was stunned and muttered to himself.

The same was true of all the ministers around him.

Zhao Zhen closed his eyes and dared not look again.

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

He felt like something was not right?

Isn't it enough to just issue Baochao?

Do we need anything else to benchmark against?

……

[Employing and identifying people: In the early stage, Liu Bingzhong and other Han officials were used to establish orthodoxy, focusing on agriculture and sericulture, and advocating the establishment of schools. Later, Liu Bingzhong and others died of illness. ]

[After the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan successively appointed Ahama, Lu Shirong, Sangge and other ministers to collect money. ]

[Evaluation: D level, one point]

[Later influence: The unification of the Yuan Dynasty by Kublai Khan was the result of a long period of political and military conflict and economic and cultural integration between different regimes and different ethnic groups in the Song, Liao, Xia and Jin dynasties.]

[It was under Kublai Khan that the Yuan Dynasty achieved its rule over Tibet, established the provincial system, and laid the foundation for China's later territory and territory. These political legacies have continued to influence us to this day.]

[Evaluation S level, 5 points]

[Total score: sixteen points]

……

{In the early stage, Kublai Khan had the "Jinlianchuan Strategists Group", which performed well. But in the later stage, it started to become rotten, and began to indulge the vested interest groups and officials' infighting, and class contradictions had already appeared.}
{If he had died earlier, Zhen Jin would have succeeded him, and the Yuan Dynasty would have been more likely to be more thoroughly sinicized. Basically, the Han group completely bet on the prince, and the prince also fully accepted the Han people's ideas. Kublai Khan also agreed that the prince should be sinicized, but it was a pity that his son died before his father.}
{It's hard to say. There were many emperors who pursued sinicization. But usually they didn't have a good ending.}
{The Mongolian nobles had power, and they did not want power to be diverted, especially to the Han people through the imperial examination system.}
{If an emperor wanted to sinicize and win over the Han people, they would rebel and find ways to get rid of the sinicized emperor and replace him with an emperor who was in line with the interests of the Mongols. This was also the reason for the turmoil in the Yuan Dynasty. It was difficult to change it through the emperor alone.}
……

Dayuan.

Kublai Khan felt as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer. The whole world suddenly spun.

There was only a buzzing sound in my ears.

In a daze, he saw Liu Bingzhong's anxious face in front of him.

Liu Bingzhong seemed to be saying something.

A few hazy and scattered words gradually reached my ears.

"Your Majesty...you..."

"Your Majesty! You are awake!"

Kublai Khan suddenly woke up and saw clearly where he was.

He was lying on the dragon throne, with an imperial physician taking his pulse.

"What about real...real gold?"

He found that his voice was hoarse.

Liu Bingzhong said softly:

"I have already sent someone to invite the prince. I believe he will be here soon..."

Kublai Khan nodded, looking at the caisson carved with dragons and phoenixes with empty eyes.

He suddenly remembered an incident from the past.

There was one time when Zhenjin was sick, and he walked around in the tent all night holding Zhenjin in his arms.

Because Zhenjin had a high fever, she could only sleep peacefully in his arms.

Zhenjin is such a child, causing me and Chabi a lot of worry.

"Father Khan! Father Khan!"

An anxious voice came in along with the strong man.

And along with it came the golden light that represented the end and the new beginning.

……

The period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty
Liu Bingyi could especially understand Kublai Khan's feelings.

Watching Kublai Khan in the sky handing the longevity elixir to the prince, he also understood his plan.

"Who wouldn't love their own child..."

Xu Pingjun touched her abdomen and whispered:

"Emperor Wu of Han?"

Liu Bingyi was stunned for a moment, then his face twisted and he said:
"Emperor Wu of Han doesn't count."

……

Period of Emperor Guangwu of Yanhan Dynasty

Liu Xiu looked at the father and son who were crying in each other's arms under the sky.

He wiped his eyes and said to Liu Zhuang beside him:

"I don't ask you to achieve great things, just take good care of your health."

Liu Zhuang nodded vigorously in response.

……

Yanhan·Mingdi period
Liu Zhuang stared at the sky in a trance, murmuring softly.

"Father, Mother..."

A breeze blew by, carrying fallen leaves.

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

"Unfortunately, Tianmu didn't say how Zhenjin died."

"Otherwise, let's see how you face your son!"

"Humph!"

Queen Ma sighed secretly.

Chongba was thinking about the past again.

……

[In 1294 AD, because Crown Prince Zhenjin died first, many of the kings coveted the throne. ]

[The important minister Boyan, following Kublai Khan's will, established Zhenjin's third son Mur as Emperor Chengzong of Yuan, and the other kings had no objection.]

[In 1301, Ogedei's grandson Haidu launched a large-scale invasion. Emperor Chengzong of Yuan ordered his elder brother's son Haishan to attack him. Haidu fled and died, and his power declined.]

[He died in 1307 AD after years in office, without any achievements.]

[Because the crown prince Deshou died early, the left prime minister Ahutai and others planned to let the queen take the throne, and to use the royal family member Ananda (the son of Manggala, the third son of Emperor Shizu) to assist in the administration.]

[Haishan's brother Ayurbarwada and the right prime minister Kharahasun sent envoys to welcome Haishan to the northern desert and killed Ahutai and others.]

【Haishan arrived in Dadu, killed the queen and Ananda, and then ascended the throne, becoming Emperor Wuzong. 】

……

Period of Jihan and Emperor Huai

Liu Chan struggled to keep up.

"This name... is too hard to remember!"

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and smiled:

"Your Majesty, don't bother to remember it."

"The Yuan Dynasty's founding principles were fundamentally wrong."

"Unless there is a wise and capable leader who can restore order."

"Otherwise these emperors are just passing clouds."

"Not worth a mention."

……

【During the reign of King Seongjong, extravagance was excessive, which led to an empty treasury, which had to be filled with banknotes. When Haesan ascended the throne, the treasury was already insufficient. However, Haesan still rewarded the kings and clans lavishly according to the highest standards of King Seongjong.】

[In order to solve the financial difficulties, the government first issued excessive banknotes, which led to repeated devaluation of the currency and caused the country to face many financial difficulties.]

[Later, the taxation system was revised to assess the rank of officials based on the amount of taxes they collected. This practice was equivalent to encouraging officials at all levels to find ways to collect more taxes from the people, which naturally increased the burden on the people.]

[This series of measures not only failed to alleviate the court's financial crisis, but also caused the fiscal deficit during the reign of Emperor Haishan to hit the highest record since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty.]

[In 1310 AD, he appointed his younger brother Ayurbarwada as the crown prince and granted him gold and treasures. At the same time, he made an agreement that the throne would be passed down from uncle to nephew, and they would enjoy wealth and honor forever.]

[In the first month of 1311 AD, he died of alcoholism and excessive sexual indulgence]

[In the same month, Ayurbarwada succeeded to the throne and became Emperor Renzong of Yuan.]
