And the common people are already grateful to the court for the sudden 180-degree turn of the imperial court, punishing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, copying and killing those local tyrants and inferior gentry, reducing rents and burdens, and canceling all kinds of additional assignments.

Some people deliberately publicized these sudden court moves, saying that this is all done by Yu Dashuai of the current imperial court, and the people are even more grateful to Xiaotian when they hear it, and many people at home have enshrined the portrait of Yu Xiaotian, and if they can't get a portrait, they will write a name and worship Yu Xiaotian as a living immortal.

Ordinary people are actually very easy to satisfy, as long as someone is a little bit nicer to them, they will be grateful to you, as long as you can have something to eat, starvation and death, few people will go to rebel and do that kind of headless thing.

Therefore, in less than two years, the chaos in the entire north has been fundamentally reversed, and the exile army has been wiped out by the official army, and a large number of exiles have begun to return to their hometowns and return to the land they have abandoned.

During this period, the local government confiscated a lot of corrupt officials and profiteers, and the local powerful land, making it an ownerless official land, and Yu Xiaotian also ordered the local government to temporarily lease these ownerless official fields to some landless people at a lower rent, or tenant to those soldiers who were dismissed, so that they could have a piece of land that belonged to them.

As long as there is land, there is hope for the Chinese people, and they are willing to be fixed on the land and work hard.

In particular, the implementation of the evolutionary version of the system of apportioning land to mu modified by Yu Xiaotian has made many landlords lose the motivation to continue to annex land, and even if they annex more land, not only will they not be able to obtain greater benefits as before, but on the contrary, because of the large amount of land, the taxes they have to pay will also rise.

Yu Xiaotian proposed a step-by-step method for the collection of land taxes, the smaller the amount of land owned, the lower the proportion of grain to be paid, on the contrary, if anyone owns more land, then the higher the proportion of taxes paid per mu of land, some landlords like Tongguò who have annexed a large amount of land for several generations, this time it will be unlucky.

Although some big landlords are not enough to be destroyed by Yu Xiaotian's house, they can continue to be their rich people, but they own a lot of land, and even some families have thousands of acres of land.

Originally, whoever had more land had cattle forks, but now whoever has more land is unlucky, and whoever has to pay more land and a higher proportion, and these big landlords themselves have too much land, and it is impossible for them to cultivate by themselves, so they can only give tenants to landless peasants to plant, and after the peasants pay the tenant rent, they must leave enough food for their lives, so the tenant rent cannot be too high, otherwise they will not be able to find tenants to rent and plant.

However, the tenants paid the rent, calculated according to the new tax system, was not enough to pay to the imperial government, so that the more land they had, the more money they would lose, and who would be interested in continuing to annex the land.

Of course, the landlords would not agree to such a system, and the landlords in various places also stirred up a lot of trouble for this, and jointly wrote to the imperial court to complain bitterly, and even made trouble for some local landlords to gather force to try to resist the government.

In this regard, Yu Xiaotian adjusted a little, slightly reducing the burden of some of these landlords who own a lot of land, but it has also been carefully calculated, even after the reduction, these landlords can only rely on tenant rents to maintain, and it is still impossible to continue to make a windfall through guò tenant rents.

In this way, the momentum of land annexation has been fundamentally and temporarily curbed, and owning a lot of land will not bring much benefit to the landlords, who is willing to annex land!

Of course, like some small landlords who have been careful for generations and have earned some land by frugality, Yu Xiaotian's policy still protects them, as long as the amount of their land does not exceed a certain amount, then they can still get a good harvest on their land, and there will be no situation where they farm more land and are charged a high amount of land endowment.

In this way, a large number of rich peasants or small landlords who had accumulated some land by their own efforts were protected, and there would not be a situation where a boatload of people would be overturned with a single rod, and the real losses were those rich gentry and powerful relatives who had annexed a large amount of land by means of cunning and plundering in the past.

When Yu Xiaotian was in Chongzhen for thirteen years, he really dealt a ruthless blow to the Zhu family's imperial relatives who were placed all over the country, and these feudal princes and princes who were placed all over the country were rich and occupied a large amount of land.

But because they are surnamed Zhu or have a relationship with the Zhu family, they never bear any responsibility for the country, but they occupy a lot of resources, and they have long been looked down upon by Yu Xiaotian.

In the name of Chongzhen, Yu Xiaotian issued an edict to the feudal kings and relatives of the emperor in various places, telling them that since they are also members of the Ming royal family and are all relatives of the emperor, they should bear the responsibility for the Ming Dynasty, and they should not bear nothing as before.

Therefore, in the future, their fields, in addition to the fact that each person leaves them 100 to 300 acres of land according to different titles and is exempt from collecting field taxes, the rest of the extra fields will also be collected according to ordinary fields, but considering that they are the face of the emperor's relatives, only in the proportion of land taxes collected, it is lower than normal, even if they rent out, they can still earn some difference, which is a special preferential treatment for them.

As soon as this holy decree was made, the royal relatives and relatives everywhere exploded at that time! For more than 200 years since the Ming Dynasty, they have been enjoying the highest treatment while lying on the merit book of their ancestors. Now the way of the world is really going to change, and now the Yu Jian State in the middle of the court actually wants to pluck the hair from them, is this worth it?

So these royal relatives and relatives in various places immediately quit, and they wrote angrily to scold Yu Xiaotian, saying that this move was definitely not the original intention of the saint today, but Yu Xiaotian pretended to be an edict in the name of the saint, and they would never agree, if Yu Xiaotian did not withdraw his order, then they would raise troops to enter the king of Jingqin, and they would overthrow Yu Xiaotian.

Moreover, some local vassal kings also received the support of some local officials and gentry, and not long after Li Zicheng was exterminated, Zhu Changxun, the blessed king of Luoyang, Henan Province, in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, did a major event that Yu Xiaotian had been waiting for a long time.

After the decree of filial piety was issued, the new prefect of Luoyang personally came to the Fuwang Mansion to summon him, informing the Fu King that in the future, your tens of thousands of hectares of land property can not continue to be exempted, except for leaving 500 acres of land, you can enjoy the treatment of exemption, and the rest of the extra acres of land must be paid!

Fu Wang Zhu Changxun was furious when he heard this, and ordered the servants and guards of the palace to beat the Luoyang prefect on the spot, and stripped off the official robe of the Luoyang prefect, knocked off his official hat, and threw it directly on the street, humiliated him, and said wildly, this world is the world of their Zhu family, where is there any reason for the descendants of the Zhu family to hand over the endowment, if anyone dares to come to the door to accept the Tian Fu of the Fu Wangfu, then no matter who it is, they will not be spared.

The prefect of Luoyang was humiliated, returned to the palace, and immediately went to the court to report the matter to Yu Xiaotian, and Yu Xiaotian was overjoyed when he heard it.

Henan is now because of the transportation problem, the speed of grain transportation is slow, for the local hungry people relief difficulties, Henan provinces have been complaining, and Henan has suffered from military disasters for so many years, the finances of the provinces are very tight, although Yu Xiaotian allocated a lot of relief funds to Henan, but the food problem and funds have never been fundamentally solved.

And who in the world doesn't know that the Fu Wangfu is rich and rivals the country? This Fu Wang is the son of Emperor Wanli of Mingshenzong, and Mingguangzong is a brother, since he was a child, he has been loved by Emperor Wanli since he was a child, and he has repeatedly wanted to make him the prince, which has caused a dispute over the country, and then fortunately the ministers insisted, so that Guangzong was not deposed.

Because Wanli loved Zhu Changxun, he was later named King Fu and was vassal in Luoyang, but Zhu Changxun lived in Beijing and refused to go to Luoyang to become a vassal for a long time, and was later forced by the ministers to go to Luoyang to take up the vassal domain.

Wanli gave King Fu 20,000 hectares of land, it is said that the local land in Luoyang is not enough for King Fu, and later he can only take the official land of other provinces to him, so that King Fu's land is all over Henan, and even Shanxi has his field.

And King Fu is very greedy, and he is still not enough after the domain, so he expropriated and annexed land in Luoyang, and it is rumored that his family's wealth is rival that of the country.

This guy is greedy not to mention that he is stingy to death, in the history of another time and space, Li Zicheng attacked Luoyang, and the defenders of Luoyang wanted to eat or not to be paid, and the officials defending the city knew that there was a huge amount of silver and grain in King Fu's mansion, so he came to the door and asked King Fu to take a little money and grain out for emergency, but Zhu Changxun was still a dime at that time, and he refused to give money and food for anything, and as a result, the defenders of Luoyang were disheartened and unhappy, and they refused to sell their lives to guide Luoyang was broken by Li Zicheng.

In the end, King Fu, the dead fat man, did not get any benefits, he was stripped and washed by Li Zicheng, slaughtered a few deer, found a super-large iron pot, and even took the deer to cook it, and distributed the meat to the soldiers and generals to eat, jokingly called the Fulu Banquet!

Yu Xiaotian has been fighting this guy's idea for a long time, but because he is still wearing the vest of Daming, it is not very convenient to deal with this guy, so he has not moved this guy since he took the position.

Now this guy is so arrogant, he beat up the Luoyang prefect he sent, stripped the prefect's official robe, and knocked off his official hat.
