Chapter 139: The Storm Rises (2)

See Conquest of the World Chapter 139 The Storm Rises (2) In fact, because most countries collect heavy taxes, many serfs who are dependent on the powerful live a much better life than yeoman farmers or small landlords. ['n^look.] :,,

The reason is very simple, if you are attached to Haoqiang, your taxes will be paid to you, and you only need to pay rent to the master, and this burden will be greatly reduced. Moreover, since it is not an ordinary person, but a tenant or a serf, then there is no need to serve in the military or something. That's a lot of money.

Haoqiang is actually not stupid, the reason why he did this is also very simple, Haoqiang has saved money as an official, most of them still have to buy land, but no matter how big your family is, the land you can plant is limited, many landlords actually have land for dozens or even hundreds of miles, how can they finish planting? What is the use of buying land and not producing food?

As a result, the owner of the original land handed over the ownership of the land to the landlord, and the landlord generously left the right to operate to the original owner, as long as the rent was lower than the tax collected by the imperial court and higher than the possible loss caused by idle land, the transaction could be concluded!

Because of this, the powerful can annex land across states and counties, and there may be tens of thousands of tenants. But in this era, having land is equal to having grain and grass, and having peasants is equivalent to having an army! This is the biggest capital of Haoqiang's life!

And it's not that simple, generally speaking, the land and population of the world are limited, and the powerful occupy more, so naturally, the court will take less. If there are more taxes collected and more tenants are raised, it will inevitably lead to a decline in the imperial court's ability to control the local area. In this way, the light, the local feudal towns are divided, the tail is too big, and the heavy, just like now, the powerful people rebelled against the central government from the locality, directly let their agents control the central-level power, and even put the emperor in the air. Anyway, even if there is a wise and martial emperor occasionally, such as Emperor Jin Ming, there is no drama, because if you can't collect taxes, you will have no money, most of the peasants have become powerful tenants, you can't find soldiers, the gentry are more than half of the powerful clansmen, your emperor is a bare-bones commander, what monarchy is divinely granted, what is ordered by heaven, just deceive children.

Judging from this, the Qinghe Cui clan really deserves its reputation, and it is no wonder that they can last for hundreds of years and prosper for a long time.

Cui Hao looked at Duan Ye silently, and felt a little bottomless in his heart. He knew that his lord had actually been wary of the family's gate valve. In fact, having said that, anyone who wants to really hold power will be wary of the gate valve, and it is strange if they are not vigilant. Now these so-called emperors and kings, there is no way, because everything is controlled by the gate valve, and most of them are just decorations. But Duan Ye is different, Duan Ye has always been out of the way, and now that he is in Liangzhou, he has a monopoly on power, and he can do whatever he says, and it is obviously impossible for him to be subject to such constraints.

Duan Ye came back to his senses and said, "In this way, I will repair a book later, I think, you must also have a reliable and timely contact channel with your family, right?" ”

"Yes." "Then you have to make sure that your patriarch receives the letter." "It's a small thing to save!" "That's good, no matter how much trouble is made in Jiangnan, our side, at least we have to make all the preparations that should be done, whoever wants to make trouble, we all think, we still take me as the main thing, I don't believe it, they can turn the sky upside down!" Duan Ye said confidently.

Saying that, on the grass beach, the bald Wei Tan and his party were still sighing, and suddenly, they saw a general in front of them, with hundreds of remnants, rushing to this side.

The bald Wei Tan was quite shocked, at this time, how could there be a defeated army? This doesn't look like a soldier of the Ephesus at all!

The bald hair was sharp, and he could see it at a glance, and said, "Third brother! That's the big brother's men. You see, they are raising the flag of Aries! "Actually, at this time, the baldness department is still very backward in many places compared to the original. The most typical place is the origin and belonging of soldiers. The original dynasty was either a compulsory soldier for whom everyone had to perform military service, or a mercenary recruited with a large amount of money, but no matter which one it was, this army belonged only to the Son of Heaven and to the king. Even in the era when the royal power was on the sidelines and the feudal towns were divided, it was only the army that belonged to the feudal towns. Generals only have the power to command the army, and before the war, the generals need to obtain permission from the owner of the army, which is usually a talisman, edict, or other token. And after the battle is over, it is necessary to hand over the army immediately.

However, on the bald side, it is different. In fact, there are no professional soldiers here, all of them are dismounted for the people, and they are on their horses for the army, and the food, weapons, and war horses are all provided by themselves! Of course, if you're more confident that you won't hang up and still grab something, you can go to war empty-handed. And all the people, in fact, have a belonging, theoretically all the people of the bald department are bald Si Fu Miao Na Shu 6
