But this world is so weird, it is more excessive than the gentry in the history of the previous life who did not pay taxes, Liu Han has actually seen the imperial court tax system reform plan, this plan is a bit similar to the apportionment into the mu, but it is rougher than the apportionment into the mu.

The countries in the Western Regions that were controlled by him all paid taxes as a whole, mainly land taxes and transaction taxes, even if the king had to pay taxes.

"The king also has to pay taxes!" Gu Wei was obviously a little surprised, and he looked at Liu Han in disbelief.

Liu Han nodded: "Yes, there were once some kings who didn't want to pay taxes, but the people didn't agree, so after the turmoil in several countries, the king was deposed and a new king was established, and this king was in favor of paying taxes." ”

This is very simple, but how much bloody rain there is, Gu Wei doesn't need to think about it, but this is exactly what he doesn't want to see.

"Brother Gu doesn't want bloodshed. Liu Han smiled, Gu Wei smiled bitterly, and did not deny it.

"This is difficult," Liu Han was very frank, and he said after a little careful consideration of his words: " Any system has benefit gainers, and system innovation is bound to damage their interests, so they are opponents, just like now, the imperial court implements tax system reform, which damages the interests of the Shi clan gate lords, they must oppose it, and Brother Gu has taken the wrong way and repeatedly conceded to their requirements, which gives them hope, coupled with Sheng Huai's tough opposition, so, their position has become even tougher, so, Brother Gu, you were wrong from the beginning. ”

Gu Wei still didn't speak, but his eyes were thoughtful, Liu Han didn't pay attention to it, and went straight on: "The imperial court implemented the tax system reform, but it didn't say the purpose or intention of the tax system reform, and it didn't make it clear to the people of the world, Brother Gu is famous in Shilin, why don't you make an article on it." ”

Gu Wei was shocked, raised his hand and patted his forehead, and then asked: "Since Brother Liu talked about his intention, based on what Brother Liu saw, what should this intention be?"

Liu Han sighed softly: "The sage has a saying, the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, the court has to go out to conquer outside the fortress, the grain has to be sent by the people, the force has to be borne by the people, and the battlefield is also the children of the people, what about the children of the gate lord clan? ”

But the sages also said, "Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people." Gu Wei argued.

Liu Han shook his head and interrupted him: "The meaning of the sage cannot be misinterpreted, the distinction between hard work and labor is not natural, the laborer, if he works hard, can become labor, and the same hard worker, if he does not learn and has no skills, he will be governed by people, the sage has words, the gentleman's ze, the fifth generation and beheaded, the sage has never said, the gentleman's ze, eternal inheritance." ”

These are all the great righteousness of the sages recorded in the Taoist scriptures, but Liu Han's interpretation is very different from the mainstream interpretation of contemporary times, which can be heard in Gu Wei's ears, but it is very popular.

"Secondly, the gate lord clan does not pay taxes, which is more harmful to the imperial court, why is the court tax reduced year by year? The people are paying more and more taxes, the people can only sell the land, and then rent the land of the gate lords, so that the court can pay less and less land, and the taxes are less and less, and the taxes are less and less。

Some people have always said, what are the rules of the ancestors, what are the rules of the ancestors? Eight hundred years ago, Taizu set the rules, but after 800 years, Taizu's rules will remain unchanged? Eight hundred years ago, when Taizu was in the time, how many people were in the world? How many people are in the world now?

What's more, Taizu has also decided, the gate lord clan cannot do business, and there are a few people in the current gate lord clan who do not do business! At this time, why don't they mention the ancestral rules!"

Gu Wei listened, his expression became heavier and heavier, but his eyes gradually brightened, and he couldn't help but shout: "This is the harm of the world! Yes, Brother Liu said it well, this is the source of the harm of the world." ”

Gu Wei stood up: "If the people lose their land, they will either farm for the Shi clan gate valve, or they will become homeless people, and the Shi clan gate valve is a great harm to the world!"

Liu Han nodded slightly, and corrected: "It should be that the scholars do not pay taxes, which is a great harm to the world, it should be admitted that most of the scholars have studied and are the elites of the Great Jin, but they do not pay taxes, the harm is too great, the key is that most of the scholars still think that this is natural, so what Brother Gu has to do is to first explain the truth to everyone clearly, and as for the tax reform, it should be strongly promoted." ”

Gu Wei nodded, and then frowned: "Strong advancement?" Alas, I'm worried that the damage is too big and it will damage the roots of Jiangnan scholars. ”

Liu Han laughed: "Brother Gu is kind-hearted, but unfortunately, they can't listen to it." Peng Zhu was in Chen Guo, and he didn't want to bleed at first, but in the end, he still had to bleed, and he shed more. ”

Gu Wei sighed bitterly, it seems that the affairs of Yangzhou can no longer be good, but if you do this, the world will inevitably shake, how will the scholars react? Back then, the king of Shaoyang County, with the respect of the prince, carried out the reform, and finally ended up dying and being destroyed.

The car ahead can be learned!

Liu Han looked at Gu Wei, after Gu Wei was excited, he hesitated a little, obviously considering some problems, he roughly understood his thoughts after a little thought, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, seeing the problem and solving the problem, it takes courage to solve the problem.

Tonight, I said a lot, but it was actually to wake him up, in the past few months, they have wasted a lot of time in Yangzhou, like a headless fly, bumping around, and finally had to go back.

The way back is because there is no way out.

If Lao Huang had told him before that the Shi clan was powerful, even the emperor would not be able to help but tie his hands, in the past few months, he fully realized this strength, and they could resist the emperor's orders, and it was blatant.

The emperor of the Yan family is really aggrieved, Liu Han muttered in his heart, this is completely different from his understanding, those TVs he saw in his previous life, the emperor is supreme, and he can do almost whatever he wants, but the reality is that the emperor is tied, and a state assassin can block his policy, what does this emperor mean.

"One thing, I haven't figured it out," Liu Han looked at Gu Wei, Gu Wei frowned slightly, looking at him puzzled, Liu Han hesitated before asking: "Why does this Sheng Huai want to block the reform of the tax system? He is not afraid that the emperor will cut off his head in the future?"

"Of course he is afraid," Speaking of Sheng Huai, Gu Wei did not hide his contempt, and said with a sneer: "But Lu Yu, even the gate valve of Yuzhou and Jizhou, as well as his background, teacher, and classmates, all forced him to stop and offend the emperor, and he still had a way to avoid the disaster of killing, but if he offended the scholars, there would be no place for him in the world." ”

Liu Han couldn't help but smack his tongue a little, he originally thought that Sheng Huai was fighting with the support of Lu Yu and other Yangzhou gate lords, but now it seems that he still knows too little about the scholars of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Next, Liu Han didn't say anything more, but Gu Wei had some concerns, and he didn't hide it, and told Liu Han directly.

His concern was simple and direct, whether the emperor could hold on or not, in case there was a change in the middle, they would become victims.

Before tonight, Liu Han would definitely answer no, but now he didn't dare to guarantee that the emperor could turn over the clouds and rain, and he only had one head.

Seeing this, Gu Wei was even more hesitant in his heart, and after drinking half a pot of cold tea, Gu Wei said faintly: "I still have one more worry." ”

Liu Han was slightly stunned, looking at him, Gu Wei sighed: "If they blatantly fight, I can still fight back justifiably, but if they come soft, for example, let all the disciples and protégés resign, the entire Yangzhou will be paralyzed, and the tax system reform will not be implemented." ”

"All resign?" Liu Han's eyes were round in surprise, it was unimaginable how many officials in Yangzhou had resigned, this...

Impossible!

Gu Wei nodded, this kind of thing has not happened in the history of the Great Jin Dynasty, but it has happened in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty of the previous dynasty, the same emperor and the scholar clan clashed, and as a result, the scholar clan made all the protégés of the two states resign, but this matter was not recorded by the royal family afterwards, and the scholar clan deliberately did not remember it.

Liu Han was still in shock, and Gu Wei also felt that it was unlikely, he saw it from a lone book, this has been a thousand years, it should be impossible.

"Maybe I'm overthinking. Gu Wei smiled reluctantly.

"Ten people have nine hearts, hundreds of people have a thousand thoughts, so many people, to have one heart, it is so easy, unless someone is in the middle of the contact, or gives greater benefits. Liu Han also nodded in agreement.

Then, he got up and said to Gu Wei: "I'll make an inspection, at this time, there can be no accident." ”

Looking at Liu Han's back, Gu Wei's expression couldn't hide his appreciation, a businessman, a martial artist, actually has this opinion, it is really rare, I really want to know, who can teach such a person.

For so many years, I have been running around the world, trying to save the people, but there is no way, I have been to many academies and seen many characters, but I have never seen such as Liu Han.

There are talents in the country, and the words of the sage are not deceived by me!

watched silently, his heart fluctuated, and he didn't know that a small figure had quietly stood on the side, quietly guarding there.

Gu Wei's invitations were sent to various prefectures, and Yangzhou, which was already surging in the dark tide, suddenly became lively, businessmen rushed to various gates, and boats docked on the docks from time to time, and all the people who came down were the owners who controlled all parts of Yangzhou.

The internal guards kept an eye on the movements of the various families in Yangzhou, and Liu Han ordered the Tiger Benwei to take over the defense of Yangzhou City under the pretext that the brotherhood was in turmoil, and the county soldiers of Yangzhou City were reorganized.

Inside and outside Yangzhou, the wind is loud.

In the plum forest on the shore, Wang Ze is dressed and draped in hair, the spring breeze blows the Buddha, messing up the hair, but not messing up the piano sound, occasionally raising his head, smiling at the corners of his mouth, on the river, the boat is like weaving,

On the dock, another fast boat docked, and the people who had been waiting on the side for a long time to catch up, the old man who got off the boat got into the carriage without saying a word, and dozens of family members left the dock in a crowd of the carriage.

Yangzhou Thorn Mansion and Yangzhou County Shoufu were quiet, after the county guard Sha Hao left, the imperial court did not appoint a new county guard, but let Gu Wei temporarily take on the part-time position, but Gu Wei's main energy was on the tax system innovation, so he was also in name, mainly presided over by Bo Moqi, the camp owner of the Qin Mission.

Gu Wei's worries are not unreasonable, after Sha Hao left office, almost all the subordinate officials of Yangzhou County submitted their resignations, and the method of appointing officials in this era is that the chief official is appointed by the imperial court, such as the county guard Taishou to the prime minister, and the subordinate officials below Bo Changshi, etc., are all recommended to the court after the chief official himself chooses, and the court will not reject it, which makes the fate of the chief official and the subordinate official tied together.

Therefore, as soon as Mo Qi took office, he had to deal with these resignations, and his method was very simple, calling all these subordinate officials and telling them that the imperial court had not yet appointed a new taishou, and Lord Gu was only temporarily concurrent, so their resignations were handled by the new taishou of the imperial court, but during this period, they must fulfill their duties, otherwise if there is a mistake or omission, they will be punished according to the laws and regulations of the imperial court.

This made the county officials who were already dissatisfied with the tax system reform angry, but they had no choice but to reluctantly stay.
