Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter [-]

"Chen Qizuo the emperor..." Yang Sichang's complexion was also very ugly. Today's news is particularly bad, but apart from him, there is no way to push it to other people to report to this moody king.

"What?" After hearing the news, Chongzhen was really furious.

"Linqing, Xiajin, Qiuxian, Guantao, Qingping, Wucheng, Enxian, Gaotang, and Changyin have all been lost?"

"Yes... Now that the Donglu soldiers have reached the east of Changyin, the sentinel rangers are probably approaching Jinan." [

"Damn, hate, they didn't pass through Texas!"

The Qing army attacked Jinan from Dezhou. This was the wishful thinking of Chongzhen and Yang Sichang. In fact, the Qing army never planned this way from the beginning to the end.

Dezhou is the gateway to Shandong in the north and an important military base connecting the canal. Such a city will definitely be heavily defended. The Qing army was not stupid enough to fight a very tragic siege battle with the Ming army.

After the soldiers and horses entered from the left and right wings, Dorgon and Yue Le, the commander of the other route, negotiated and planned to take a detour from the direction of Jinan to cross the Huitong River to attack the empty Jinan.

Now this time, the right uppercut was really beautiful, and the Ming army didn't have time to react. The wishful thinking before the battle now seems to be an out-and-out joke. It was a mess, but the monarch and his ministers were full of resentment, as if someone else had done something wrong.

"If we still have Xuanda and Guanning soldiers and horses in the Jinan area, it is absolutely impossible for the Eastern Prisoners to go deep into Shandong from the Jinan area."

Yang Sichang always felt that his power was limited, and the scholar-bureaucrats in the court were too arrogant, and they were unwilling to really relieve the emperor's worries.

To be honest, he felt that Daming's land endowment was not important, and he was also someone who had intensively studied the history books of previous dynasties.The commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty was so low that it was almost negligible compared with the Song and Yuan Dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, large sums of salt and iron monopoly money flowed into the treasury continuously. Both tea and wine are monopolized, and the people who want to drink are also paying taxes to the government at the same time.

In this way, the taxation of the Southern Song Dynasty reached a record of more than 1 million guan, no matter how you calculate it, it was more than several times the fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty.

In the agricultural tax of the Ming Dynasty, only three liters and three combinations per mu were collected for civilian farms, and even some fields could not even receive this amount. The normal agricultural tax level was about [-]%. This figure was much lower than that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. too much.

Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, in Lianghu, Jiangnan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Yunnan and Guizhou, except for the chieftains who caused rebellion, no common people were actually forced to rebel. Outside the civil official group, they ignored the interests of the group and sincerely sided with the emperor, which caused a lot of attacks from scholar-bureaucrats.

This also made many historians and history lovers in later generations sympathize with Yang, thinking that he offended many people because of his honesty, but these people ignored the endless pain caused by local apportionment to farmers. The list is ten times that of the yellow list, and the south can survive because of its fertile land, rich products, and the weight of the gentry. Although the gentry will bully the people, it also limits the appetite of officials to make money to a certain extent.
