Chapter 84: Leisurely Feudal Life


It's the end of the month, so please reward you with some recommendation votes Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Lu Hanqiang, who was sitting in front of the window, had a helpless wry smile, Chongzhen, or gave up the outward passage of this nation and the sea of stars.

The sea is infinite, this is in the self-study time, I and Zhu Youzhen have depicted that the treasures on the sea are infinite, and I have also explained to Zhu Youzhen, these are all based on the knowledge of later generations, after Chongzhen came to power, he must listen to the of those bigwigs and ban the sea, blocking the source of money, not to mention, the most important thing is to close the door to communication with the world.

China's topography is a strange thing, to the north, the Tartars occupy the grassland, the Tartars' combat power is strong, this is not the lack of war horses of the Han nation can completely solve the conquest, and the most important thing is that north of the Great Wall, the beautiful intoxicating grassland, the soil layer is only as thick as a palm, when reclamation, a pickaxe down, you will see the white sand, there is no way to contain the nutrients and water that the crops need, a handful of seeds are scattered, even the seeds can not be harvested back half a handful, for the farming nation, there is almost no use.

The Han people are born as a nation that cultivates crops, whether it is a businessman, a famous general, or an emperor, they all like to plant something in the ground.

If you see an emperor farming barefoot in the soil, no matter who you are, you will be happy from the bottom of your heart, at least you will think that His Majesty the Emperor has not forgotten the craftsmanship handed down by his ancestors and attaches great importance to farming.

A Hongru knelt in the ground to take care of some seedlings, and there was nothing to criticize about such a scene, everyone would only say that this person was cultivating his mind.

Therefore, in such an atmosphere, no matter what time they were there, the people of the Han nationality were thinking about what to plant in the land, they were farming in the desert, on the Gobi Desert, on the mountain beams, and on the cliffs.

Even in the lush farmland, they don't let go of the narrow ridge and order beans on it It is also strange to say that the originally unruly desert, Gobi, and mountains have all succumbed to the hands of the Han people, and they are obviously places that are not suitable for farming, and they will bear abundant fruits under the hands of the Han people.

If these people are allowed to enter the grasslands, it will not take much time for the grasslands to be full of melons and fruits, lush crops, ducks swimming in blisters, chickens running in the yards, villages everywhere, and finally becoming indistinguishable from the rest of the Great Wall.

Don't talk about others, it's the backyard of your own house, which was originally a garden of birds and flowers, rockery ponds, and now it has been reclaimed into a vegetable garden by Chen Liang and Yuenu with her mother, doesn't this explain the problem But the Mongolian steppe is different, because the soil layer is too thin, even a big tree can't grow, can only grow grass, even if it is grazing, can not be over-grazing, herdsmen know that they can't graze on a grassland for too long, such a place, the output and pay can not be equal, so no fool to do such a thing, unfortunately, no matter how much love farming Han people don't seem to be fools, and they seem to be very smart, especially after knowing that after this grassland is even more barren, not even people, therefore, the Han people know, It's a dead end over there.

It is impossible to develop to the west, the further west, the higher the terrain, and even breathing is not suitable for the Han people, let alone in the westernmost part, there is a pillar of heaven, that is, the Himalayas of later generations, even today, it is an insurmountable moat, let alone ancient people.

In the past, on land, the places that the Han people can reach are already their own vassal states, and further south is the sea, according to the teachings of the sages, they can only practice the royal way instead of domineering.

And the east, southeast, and south are the sea of stars, which is the only direction that this nation can go out in ancient times, and there will be countless surprises, countless unknowns and infinite living space.

As a result, in order to dominate the sea trade and earn a little bit of silver, those bigwigs completely closed this door, and this closure was hundreds of years, until it was opened again in a humiliating way by the people who came up from the sea.

And all this in this world, only he knows, but those sentient beings are cheering for this good governance, thinking of this, Lu Hanqiang is endlessly depressed, pinching the fingers of the newspaper is no longer able to bear this light page of paper, so that the piece of paper is like a leaf in the autumn wind helplessly falling.

"Sir, what's wrong with you" The shopkeeper Zhang, who was sitting opposite, asked Lu Hanqiang, who was infinitely frustrated, in a low voice.

Lu Hanqiang glanced at him, closed his eyes painfully, and didn't pick up the piece of paper on the ground, just waved his hand: "According to the original text, send it to the newspaper, and let those bastards cheer." ” The smooth implementation of the new policy made all people, including Chongzhen, excited, and the next step was the silk tax.

Wanli thought that if the merchant sold silk and silk would be able to make money, so he collected industrial and commercial tax, Donglin Jun thought that this was called "the Son of Heaven and the small people competing for profit", which was one of the reasons for the natural disaster, and the tax exemption plan would naturally be abolished, Chongzhen agreed.

There is also cloth tax, just like in the Tang and Song dynasties, the Ming Dynasty originally stipulated that the people and officials at all levels could use the color of the clothes, for example, Ming yellow was originally the color of the emperor's land, and red was the clothes that high-ranking officials could wear, and such as Lu Hanqiang, a five-grade petty official, could only be a cyan official uniform.

After asking for money and shameless Wanli Tian's pro-government, he released the restrictions on the people's clothes in order to collect more taxes, and soon there was a phenomenon of small people and officials competing for clothes in the Ming Dynasty, especially those businessmen who were very rich, and they overwhelmed the officials.

At that time, the local officials who felt that Swen was sweeping protested to Wanli and asked the emperor if he was messing around with the officials now, and what would happen to Xiaomin wearing yellow clothes one day.

As a result, Wanli replied that as long as the merchants in the weaving land were willing to pay taxes, then he felt that it was not impossible to sell yellow cloth, and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were once again defeated by the emperor's scoundrels.

When the ministers mentioned the level of clothing in the world again, at this time, Chongzhen remembered his classmate Lu Hanqiang, who was always on the street with nothing to do, and then relied on him to have a few stinky money, and showed off his family's dress, which made Chongzhen, who has always been diligent and thrifty, not cold.

You said that you are a storyteller, always wear clothes worth a few taels, or even dozens of taels, especially let your girl's piece wear a skirt inlaid with gold leaves to run all over the street, according to his explanation, it is to suppress the wind, not to let the little girl run when the skirt flies and leaks, which affects the image of the lady, for this reason, he also specially hired a martial arts master to watch, to avoid which scoundrel snatched the skirt of the girl and made a fortune, so extravagant, how can this make himself a prince, this is of course prohibited, Of course, these taxes do not need to exist.

According to the minister's request, after abolishing all kinds of "competing with the people" and violating the ancestral land taxes, the new emperor once again enjoyed the high praise that his grandfather, father and brother had never enjoyed.

Of course, in this package of tax reduction policies, Lu Hanqiang did not see even a little preferential treatment for farmers, of course, according to the meaning of the ministers, the peasants' land is not included in the tax reduction because the peasants cultivate the royal land, of course, they have to pay land rent, this is the rule of up and down for 5,000 years, the law of the ancestors is immutable, and our landlords have no surplus grain As a result, one by one the evil politics were abolished under the deep hatred of the Qingliu gentlemen, and one by one the moral politics were also freshly baked.

However, Lu Hanqiang, the hero of the eradication of the eunuch party who was deliberately forgotten by Chongzhen, sat in front of the window and looked at the white clouds and dogs, but he didn't find any virtue politics, at least he couldn't see what virtue politics was.

"Let him be, the wheel of history is something that he can't stop no matter what, fighting against Qingliu, as strong as the eunuch party has not been victorious, then if he wants to stop a small five-grade idle official, it is no different from looking for death."

Stand up, look at the grass and warbler flying, I really hope that the great funeral of the first emperor will end soon, so that I can continue to enjoy the eyes of my countless fans in the teahouse. t1706231537:
