lied to Kangxi

Chapter 1023
The south is a tax-heavy area, so Yuzhu started from the south of the Yangtze River to unify the taxation of the whole people, and stipulated that the upper limit of dead land rent was [-]% of the yield per mu.

As long as the land rent is exceeded, I am sorry and must be fined [-] times.

That is to say, if the landlords dare to charge more than one catty of land rent, as long as they are found out, they will be fined [-] catties of grain, and there is no ceiling.

Principal Chang was defeated and retreated to an isolated island, and he was able to quickly stabilize the situation, which is to carry out the land reform of the whole island.

However, Principal Chang used a relatively mild method of redemption instead of violent confiscation.

As for the jade pillars, they are neither redeemed nor confiscated, but they must be taxed together.

The easing of class conflicts should not be too intense, and we must have enough patience to change it slowly.

Because the environment of the times is different, the pace is too big, and it is easy to pull the ball.

Do not hate few, only hate inequality!

Wang Mang's well field system is the land reform. He really wants to equalize the rich and the poor and ease class conflicts.As a result, he offended the bureaucratic landlords all over the world, and was finally hacked to death by the Green Forest Army who invaded Chang'an.

In this era, scholars could not pay taxes within tens of acres of land, and exempted two members of the family from corvee.No matter how much land owned by Juren lords and officials and gentry, they are not taxed.

Although the fourth son became a rebel who ran away in a hurry, the fourth son's implementation of the stipends into the mu, the gentry's one-time payment of food and errands, the return of fire consumption to the public, and the maintenance of honest banks are all good governance.

Yu Zhu took this very seriously, and he did it more thoroughly than when the fourth child was the emperor.

Is the young crop method promoted by Wang Anshi good?It must be good, and a good strategy.

However, Wang Anshi was negligent. Asking the local government to promote the young crop law and conduct assessments is tantamount to forcing the local officials to do evil.

Local officials are all low-level officials, and they dare to do any bad things in order to complete their political achievements.For example, farmers who are not short of money are forced to borrow usury loans issued by the government.

Isn't this money grabbing?

Yuzhu is an old bureaucrat. He doesn't like to carry out too violent reforms, but prefers to boil frogs in warm water.

When the water boils, the time is ripe, and the frog has been boiled until its legs are soft.

In the foreseeable future, the new army is unlikely to have large-scale wars.Moreover, the current 15 imperial army has the shortest service life of more than three years.

Therefore, at this time, Yuzhu's foresight once again played a huge role.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of land reform in the south of the Yangtze River, Yu Zhu started to do it.

Apart from the Second Town stationed in the Western Regions, half of the officers and veterans in Jinwei Town, First Town, Third Town, and Fourth Town began to transfer jobs to the newly established local police stations.

All benefits of job transfer remain unchanged.For example, the monthly salary of the veterans was ten taels of silver, but after arriving at the local police station, the ten taels of silver remained unchanged.

However, the monthly salary burden of the ten taels of silver was passed on to the local government.

The money comes from the place.However, it was not the local government that sent the money directly to the police station, but the imperial court collected the money and forwarded it to the transferred police officers.

As a result, the military expenditure of the imperial court has been greatly reduced.

You know, before the imperial court just raised the earliest batch of 1000 new troops, it cost more than [-] million taels of silver.

The implementation of job transfer not only solved the financial pressure of raising soldiers, but also solved the internal problem of the army, and could better control the local security problems.

Correspondingly, the imperial government established the Police Headquarters to manage the police across the country.

In other words, the police station is not under the jurisdiction of the local government, but directly under the imperial court.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages.

Yuzhu weighed the pros and cons before making any arrangement.

The logic is actually very simple. If the local government wants to do evil lawlessly, it must use the servants of the six doors.

After the vertical management of the police station, I dare not say that there are no black apples at all.At least, from the source of motivation, the pressure on places that are forced to do evil must be many times smaller.

At the same time as the establishment of the Police Headquarters, Yuzhu quietly established the Police Supervision Bureau, which reports directly to him.

There are not many people in the Police Supervision Bureau, only a few hundred people.

However, when they supervise the local police station, they are all out to investigate a certain county or a certain prefecture.

Think about it, as long as the local police do evil things, they will definitely leave a lot of traces.

Yuzhu's approach is to either not check you, and when you are checked, more than 100 people will be sent at once. From the government bureau to the county bureau, every policeman must pass the customs.

How many people are there in a county in this era?
100 people were sent down to visit and investigate door to door, filtering like a sieve.Black sheep who do bad things will inevitably be exposed.

Yuzhu knew very well in his heart that as long as he checked carefully and carefully, he would definitely catch the black sheep.

A real investigation will scare everyone!
Cha who throws bricks across the wall, no one cares!

If things go on like this, the vast majority of the police will be good people who obey the law.

Li Jiapo and the police in Hong Kong are examples for reference.

Especially the Hong Kong police, before the purge, there were almost no police and no corruption, and their reputation was extremely bad.

The treatment of veterans remains the same, and the police station also has real power, so the resistance to job transfer will be much smaller.

The army recruits who are recruited can only get one tael of silver for the auxiliary soldiers.

The original auxiliary soldiers generally increased their salaries to two taels of silver per month.

In short, old people have old ways, new people have new ways, everyone has something to look forward to.

In the past, after the green battalion was abolished, they could only go home and farm.

Many laid-off veterans are no longer able to cultivate the land, and they have become the tyrants in the countryside or in the city, which is extremely harmful.

In today's country, there are more than 200 prefectures, more than 200 states and more than 1300 counties.

More than 2 military officers and veterans were sprinkled, and only a few people were assigned to a county.

These people are the backbone of the county police station, and then recruit a group of ordinary policemen who pay one, two or five yuan a month, and the power of local law and order is held in the palm of Yuzhu's hands calmly.

With the expansion of the colony and the multiple expansion of the empire's territory, it is definitely impossible to continue to implement the county system.

After the local violent institutions, such as police stations, courts, prisons, etc., are brought back to the imperial court, the remaining things can slowly promote true local autonomy.

To put it bluntly, if you don't control the violent organs, you can't escape the palm of the court at all.

After local self-government gradually, you can spend as much tax as you have, and you are not allowed to make ends meet.

More importantly, after local autonomy, talents from all over the country have hope, and they fight each other fiercely, and the pressure on the court has been greatly relieved.

However, local self-government, according to Yuzhu's idea, cannot be carried out on the basis of provinces, but can only be carried out on the basis of prefectures and Zhili prefectures.

The future provincial level will be dispatched by the imperial court, and will only be in charge of the violent organs and judicial system in the province.

The local self-government that dismantled provinces into prefectures fundamentally prevented local separatist forces from brazenly challenging the authority of the imperial court.

All these arrangements are for the establishment of a constitutional monarchy when the time is right in the future.

Everyone has divided the cake clearly, and no one will grab it, and the cycle rate of the dynasty will be completely invalid.

Yuzhu sees it more clearly than anyone else. Only when the monarchy is constitutional can the Tong family be the emperor forever.

Otherwise, after a few years, as long as there is an emperor who looks like Sima Zhong, the Tong family's royal family may be wiped out.

When the land reform was carried out in the south, the northern region also took advantage of the slack time to collect corvee on a large scale and began to build roads.

Yuzhu is well aware of the hardships of corvee, and made it clear that corvee workers are not allowed to leave the county, and can only build roads, canals, and dredging rivers, which are of a public welfare nature.

If you want to get rich, you need to build roads first. This is already common sense, so there is no need to say more.

Just when Yuzhu was about to leave for Wuchang, great news suddenly came from Dagukou.

In the Huaxia Empire, the first five-ton steel-making blast furnace, the preliminary experiment was successful.

Yuzhu was very happy, and immediately went to Luanzhou.

Looking at the fiery red hot metal that was newly smelted from the first furnace, Yuzhu's heart was especially fluctuating.

In the early days of the industrial society, the output of pig iron was one of the most important indicators to measure a country's industrial strength.

According to the prior commitment, the chief invention engineer, the Englishman John, was awarded 3000 pounds on the spot.

Hey, the foreign devils only care about money, no matter how many compliments they give, it is better to reward them with five pence.

"My lord, I love you so much." British John Zhen couldn't help crying with joy after receiving the money, and said loudly, "I can finally afford to buy my own house in London."

Pretty girls in London will marry him only if he has his own house in London.

Society is so realistic and cruel.

Yuzhu glanced around, and he found that not only the foreigners showed envy, but even the Chinese people present were all envious.

Well, that's what I want.

What do you mean by coming to the East to pan for gold?
It is the kingly way to make more fresh inventions and get rich by relying on leading technologies.

John's entire R&D team received at least £500 in rewards.

Yuzhu, who has seen through human nature long ago, does not issue certificates, but only discovers gold for foreign technicians, and he distributes them on the spot.

That night, Yuzhu specially held a grand celebration reception at Dagukou.

The rum shipped from Cuba, because it is very cheap, is simply open for everyone to drink.

After a round of toasting, Yuzhu just wanted to go to Peng Yingyue to spend tonight.

Unexpectedly, Alice stopped her.

Alice complained: "My dear Darling, you don't want to force me to find a little lover?"

Yuzhu knew it well, he hadn't touched Alice for a long time.It happened that Alice ate meat, fish, and seafood every day, and she was extremely energetic.

Alas, she endured so hard!
There was no other way, Yu Zhu, who didn't want to wear a cuckold, had to go back with Alice.

As a result, the tragic emperor did not wake up from his deep sleep until the dusk of the next day.

When I looked at Alice again, alas, this girl is extremely energetic, her whole body is full of lustrous luster of satisfaction.

"Darling, let's continue tonight." Alice offered a sweet French kiss, but Yu Zhu wanted to retreat.
