With Ran Yingying's entry into the palace, the task of "fighting the mandarin ducks" was successfully completed, and 1 points were obtained. Now Yan Ge has accumulated 1.7 points.

  So Yan Ge hastened to eat, drink and have fun all the time, just to collect another 2 points, so that [-] points can be exchanged for the craftsmanship of Yunhua Shu Brocade.

  Not to mention the happy days and wines on Yan Ge's side, Shanhaiguan at this moment is immersed in the horror of a black cloud that is about to destroy the city.

  Under the high city wall, a dense army of [-] people has surrounded Shanhaiguan!

  The Huns are known for their agility. Not only did they fight fiercely right away, but their combat effectiveness when dismounted was also quite impressive. Now they have attacked the Shanhaiguan city wall like a tidal wave for five consecutive days. .

  "General, the court's material delivery team has arrived!"

  At this moment, Qi Yun was sitting in the account and couldn't do anything, and suddenly there was a soldier outside to report. She was overjoyed and flew out to watch.

  "General Qi, I'm the escort officer of this transportation team. This is only the first batch of materials delivered. The purpose is to urgently support the defense of Shanhaiguan, and there will be a steady stream of materials that will be sent in the future," said the escort officer.

  "General, please

  Look at this thing! "The escort officer lifted the curtain, and dozens of giant thunders wrapped in iron were displayed in front of Qi Yun.

  Qi Yun, who is also a man, can see at a glance how excellent this iron-skin beast is for defending the city, and smiles: "Okay, with this thing, I will definitely make the Huns suffer a big loss tomorrow!"

  The next day, at the foot of Shanhaiguan, the Huns continued to charge the city head desperately like the previous five days. Wuwei Shanyu stood in the midst of the army and pointed at the Shanhaiguan city wall with a saber in his hand: "My good sons of the Xiongnu, rush! Once we get down to Shanhaiguan, Dawei's food and women will be in front of us!"

  "Kill!" The soldiers had red eyes, and their heads were full of golden grains and women, and their fighting power increased exponentially.

  But Wu Wei Shanyu didn't realize that today's Shanhaiguan is very different from the previous days, it is extraordinarily calm and chilling.

  When the Xiongnu siege troops came to a suitable distance, Qi Yun on the tower smiled slightly and waved: "Brothers, bright guy!"

  Soon, forty giant thunderbolts were pushed up, each with five boulders on top. This is the horror of thunderbolts.

  Ordinary corpse throwers can only throw one boulder at a time. Although the power is large, the coverage area is limited and it is easy to dodge. However, five boulders can cover a large area without dead ends. Forty are sent at the same time, most of the battlefield. The Xiongnu troops will be shrouded in the shadow of thunder!

  "Launch!" Qi Yun's loud voice resounded in the air.

  Thousands of rocks on the city wall burst forth, and in an instant the Huns felt as if the sky was falling. There was no way to avoid them, and there was no way to dodge. The Huns within the visible range fell down like crushed reeds.

  "Ah ah ah!" Wu Wei Shanyu, who was watching the battle, was furious, angry and frightened.

  Standing on the city wall, Qi Yun was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, with this thing, even the heavenly soldiers will not be able to break through my Qi Yun's Shanhaiguan."

  Wu Wei Shanyu gritted his teeth with hatred: "Qi Yunxiu must be proud, wait for Ben Shanyu to go down to Shanhaiguan and see how I can concoct you!"

  The Huns and Qi Yun's Longwu Army have fought against each other for many years, so the Huns are very familiar with Qi Yun, a beautiful but brave female general.

  Their feelings for Qi Yun are very complicated, they have both awe engraved in their bones and covetousness for her.

  "Feiyun Army, send me out and use Huosi to design those giant beasts!" Wu Wei Shanyu gave an order, and the Huns took countermeasures against Shanhaiguan.

  The Huns were good at horseback and archery. After Uwei Shanyu unified all the Xiongnu tribes, he selected the strong men to form a powerful cavalry and archery unit, which he called the "Flying Cloud Army". .

Chapter 74 New Tax Law

  At this moment, the Feiyun Army has become Wu Wei Shanyu's hope to crack the thunder!

  These fully-armored, agile warriors lined up in a long snake column, galloping back and forth under the Shanhaiguan city wall, moving at high speed to get rid of arrows and boulders on the city wall.

  Sure enough, in front of the fast-moving Feiyun Army, neither the thunderbolt nor the arrows of the defenders had any effect.

  Next, the Feiyun Army cavalry archers bent their bows and set up arrows, and the arrows were doused with kerosene.

  Although the Thunder Thunder was wrapped in iron, the key organs still had exposed wooden structures, so it was inevitable that they would be burned.

  Moreover, the operator of Hung Tianlei also became a living target. One soldier who went up to the operation was shot dead, and the offensive of Hung Tianlei was stagnant.

  Seeing this, Qi Yun felt her heart tighten. Could it be that the murderous aura of Hong Tianlei has been cracked so quickly.

  At this moment, only an old and rich voice came: "General Qi Yun, don't disturb, this old man has captured the general Jiang Ziya, come to help."

  Jiang Ziya traveled day and night, and just arrived at this time, he encountered a critical moment.

  He didn't say much nonsense. With a wave of the apricot-yellow flag in his hand, thousands of roaring tiger guards in black heavy armor rushed to the city head.

  Yan Ge really made a lot of money this time, and even Miyagi's guards sent [-] people out to Jiang Ziya.

  Under the command of Jiang Ziya, the Roaring Tiger Guards quickly formed a formation. Their positions were strictly limited. They looked a little sparse and crooked, and they didn't seem to be in a very neat formation.

  But when Feiyun Army's flying shot struck again, Jiang Ziya's formation burst into an amazing rebound ability.

  The sparsely scattered Tiger Guards who seemed to be standing were instantly connected like a chain of iron chains.

  Each tiger guard rotates in circles according to the waving of the apricot flag.

  The shields in the hands of only [-] soldiers actually blocked all the positions around the thunder, and blocked all the arrows of the Feiyun Army!

  Jiang Ziya's "Tiangang Xuanwu Formation" firmly protected the thunder, and the dark cloud-like boulders covered the battlefield again, and the Huns fell into the disadvantage again.Yan Ge really did not send the wrong person, the Taigong's use of troops is really the ancestor of the hundred Taos, and he has reached the state of enlightenment!

  Shanhaiguan is as stable as Mount Tai under the guard of Hong Tianlei and the combined command of Qi Yun and Jiang Ziya!

  Wu Wei Shanyu attacked Shanhaiguan for three days in a row, and each time he suffered heavy losses under the Thunder's Stonehenge. In the end, he had to temporarily retreat the front line to find a way to break the Thunder.

  But what Wu Wei Shanyu didn't know was that Thunder Thunder was just one of Wei's trump cards.

  With the mass production of Hanyun black iron, the far-flung dragon cavalry armors in the military equipment supervision were also made and sent to Shanhaiguan.

  Taigong Jiang Ziya has also arrived in Shanhaiguan. Under the guidance of him and Qi Yun, a group of powerful heavy cavalry regiments are rapidly taking shape.

  The war on Shanhaiguan was in full swing, and above the imperial court, Wang Meng also released the big move he had been brewing for a long time.

  He read out his self in court in court.

  I have been thinking about the economic reform plan that I have carefully designed for nearly an hour!

  In a nutshell, this economic reform includes the following aspects:

  One is the new tax law.

  The tax system is the foundation of the feudal country's finances. No matter how the economic system changes, taxation is always an important economic source that cannot be ignored.

  In the past, although Dawei's tax system could not be called harsh, it was generally based on the exploitation of working people.

  The people at the bottom had to pay heavy land taxes, salt taxes, tea taxes, etc., but the big landlords, the aristocrats, and the rich countrymen had roughly the same proportion as the common people, and there were still many aristocrats who did not actually pay taxes.

  This will not only cause the people to be overburdened, but will also cause the country to collect a lot of taxes, because no matter what era, wealth is always in the hands of a few!

  The new tax law has completely changed this unbalanced tax policy.

  The new tax law completely covers the economic life of Dawei from four dimensions.

  Including four levels of land, handicrafts, commerce and tariffs, its core principle can be summed up in the simplest words, that is, the more income, the more taxes you pay!

  If you have more fields, you will pay more taxes than those with less fields;

  The more looms you have, the more taxes you pay; the more you earn from selling tea, the more you pay to the state.

  All in all, taxpayers are divided by income, regardless of their status.

  The second is the Young Crop Law.

  The Green Crop Law was a measure taken by Wang Anshi in the Northern Song Dynasty when he reformed.

  The Green Crop Law formulated by Wang Meng is more thorough, completely prohibiting the behavior of private usury in the legal system, preventing the bureaucratic landlord class from exploiting farmers and occupying land, and the interest rate is also lower than that formulated by Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty.

  The third is immunity law.Completely abolish the form of corvée, and all officials in the government need to be employed in the form of employment.

  This will create job opportunities for the unemployed.

  The second is to liberate more free time for the lower-class people who are already under heavy pressure.

  The third is to liberate the labor market, free a large number of laborers from the forced labor relations of the government, and provide more labor for the free market economy.

  This move is the suggestion of Yan Ge and Wang Meng, and it is also an inevitable product of the implementation of the mercantilist policy of the Great Wei Dynasty.

  The fourth is the military system.

  The so-called government military system is to establish military government in various places.

  Some non-main battle troops with weak combat effectiveness were incorporated into the military mansion, and they usually went to the fields to work in agriculture.

  Auxiliary with a certain intensity of military training, once the country needs, these people can be transformed into regular army at any time.

  This move not only greatly saves military expenditures, but also expands the number of reserves of the Great Wei Dynasty, forming an effect similar to the modern national reserve and militia system.

Chapter 75 The Privy Council

  The fifth is the throttling method.It mainly includes the elimination of redundant bureaucratic establishments, troop establishments, and reduction of government spending standards.

  Since the development of Dawei, the bureaucracy has become very bloated. Properly reducing the size of personnel can save a lot of money every year.

  After Wang Meng read all the economic reform measures, the audience was overwhelmed by the huge amount of information.

  It was the old minister Lin Song who was the most sensitive, and immediately raised his own concerns:

  "Your Majesty, the reform strategy proposed by Mr. Wang Meng, the old minister believes that it is indeed beneficial to the country and the people. But whether there is a problem that is too radical, you must know that this new tax law alone will touch the interests of many big landlords, big bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen. The local lords and gentry unite with the powerful, and the consequences are unimaginable!"

  Yan Ge nodded, applauding Lin Song's hotness.

  The question raised by Lin Song is indeed piercing.

  In fact, the issue he mentioned was already covered in Wang Meng's original "Ten Theory", that is, monarchy!

  In a feudal autocratic society, there is only one condition for a thorough top-down reform, that is, a high degree of centralization.

  Only in this way can the implementation of decrees and absolute control of local power be guaranteed.

  In fact, both the East Factory and the Ladies Division are already measures taken by Yan Ge to strengthen the centralization of power.

  But this is not enough, because after all, these two agencies belong to the nature of intelligence and surveillance.

  A truly strong centralization requires a more thorough political system transformation.And that will take a while.

  In the current Wei Dynasty, although the power of the central government is dispersed as in the ancient Eastern Han Dynasty and the Warring States period of Japan, warlords such as the shogunate and the military government control the power, and the country is unified in name, but it is actually fragmented, but it is not concentrated in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

  The main problem is that in addition to the powerful local gentry, there are also feudal towns.

  大魏17道69州33郡,实际真正完全掌握在朝廷手中的只有7-8成,其它的则被藩王、地方军府和节度使把控。

  This is because Emperor Taiwu learned from the corruption and degeneration of the central army of the Liang Dynasty, and the weak local standing army was easily penetrated by foreign enemies, so he set up military palaces, Jiedushi and vassal kings in some military key areas as defenses.

  Only in this way, the defense of the border has indeed been enhanced to a certain extent. Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the surrounding foreign enemies have intruded more than Daliang, but it still maintains the overall stability of the country.
