Three Kingdoms: Unlimited Premium Gift Pack

It is even more impossible for Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others to be named Marquis now.

Later, Liu Yan announced the rewards to the soldiers: 140 million soldiers were all given three months' salary to congratulate today's enthronement ceremony.

Those who have made contributions in the war with the Hulu just now will be counted as three times the usual military exploits, and will be rewarded separately in the future.

The pensions for soldiers killed and injured in battle are all on par with those of Liangzhou soldiers, and they are also calculated at three times.

140 million soldiers suddenly burst into thunderous cheers.

Ordinarily, by now, Liu Yan's enthronement ceremony will be considered a successful conclusion.

However, in fact—

"My dear friends, and my loyal and brave soldiers!" Liu Yan looked around slowly, and said, "Today, I ascended the throne of the Son of Heaven. I pursued the ancestors, sealed the harem, reformed the official system, made the generals a marquis, and the soldiers were rewarded. Next, what I want to reward is the people of the whole world!"

"What? What did His Majesty just say?"

"He... he wants to reward all the people in the world?"

"how can that be?"

"In all dynasties, there has never been one!"

……

The sixteen princes couldn't believe their ears.

You must know that when the emperors of all dynasties ascended the throne, that is to say, they rewarded the officials and soldiers, and at most added an amnesty to the world.

It can be said that there is no such thing as a reward for the people of the whole world!

Some people even couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, but to give amnesty to the world, so as to benevolent to the people of the world?"

"Of course not." Liu Yan snorted coldly and said, "What is amnesty to the world? Most of the prisons are people who deserve their crimes. If I release these people, it will not reward the people of the world, but poison the people of the world. .

How about this, today, I can express my attitude here: In my whole life, I will never pardon the hypocrisy of the world!If the later emperors of the Qin and Han Dynasties have amnesty for the world in the future, they will not be my descendants, and the world will attack them together! "

"So, His Majesty really wants to reward the people of the world?"

"Then what is His Majesty's reward? Tell me quickly! I can't wait!"

……

140 million sergeants are looking forward to it.

It must be explained that most of the 140 million sergeants are both soldiers and civilians.

The reason is very simple. Now, Liu Yan has pacified the princes and killed 50 barbarian troops, and the world is peaceful.

That being the case, there was no reason for Qin and Han to maintain an army of more than 100 million, and most of the soldiers had to be disarmed and returned to the fields immediately.

How everyone will live in the future depends on how Liu Yan will govern in the future.

Liu Yan said: "Today, I have three major rewards for the people of the world! The first reward: starting today, every catty of salt in the world will be reduced by one penny!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"How fortunate I am to be His Majesty's minister!"

……

As soon as Liu Yan's words fell, the audience burst into cheers.

why?

Indeed, if a catty of salt is reduced by a penny, the common people will not benefit much.

However, from ancient times to the present, the benefits issued by the imperial court have not been deducted layer by layer?It is impossible for general benefits to be distributed to the common people.

That is to say, Liu Yan has monopolized the national salt industry market for a long time, and the reduction of this article can be implemented without compromise.

In other words, Liu Yan's first reward indeed benefited the people all over the world.

Do what you say!

Full of sincerity!

Simple and rude!

Immediate results!

"My emperor said that he would reward the people of the world, so he really rewarded the people of the world. Seeing it, touching it, it's not false! It's true words!"

The sergeants no longer doubted the sincerity of Liu Yan's reward, and looked forward to the next reward even more.

However, what they never dreamed of was that Liu Yan's next reward was simply earth-shattering!

Chapter 253 From now on, the big man will never be hungry

Liu Yandao: "My man's corvee is divided into three types: hard labor, forced labor, and military service. Starting today, these three types of corvee will be cancelled!

If the states, counties, and counties really need construction projects, they must apply to the imperial court, and the imperial court will allocate fees and hire civilians to complete them.

The army of the imperial court was also completed through recruitment, and the imperial court paid the army monthly.If there is any further collection of corvees by the local governments in the future, it will be treason and the nine clans will be punished! "

Liu Yan's voice fell to the ground, and what greeted him was not the voice of thanksgiving from 140 million people, but a terrible silence.

140 million people, silent!

The reason is very simple, lowering the price of salt, reducing one cent per catty, does not cost much, and the emperor should be willing.But is this exempt from corvee?

More than [-]% of the burden of the Han people is on this corvee.If you don't want to do corvée, you have to pay immunization money.

The imperial court of the later Han Dynasty collected nearly 100 million guan in a year just from the immunization money!

If the tax collection system of the former Han Dynasty is restored, the imperial court can collect more than 500 million yuan in exempt money a year!

Is the emperor really willing?

Isn't that too generous?

In fact, Liu Yan is so generous!

Isn't that 500 million sticks a year?Three years is only 500 million strings.Just by copying the accumulation of the fourth and third sons of the Yuan family, the "Emperor Zhong Er", there is a lot of surplus.

Still the same sentence, the Eastern Han Dynasty was inherently deficient, and the country's main financial resources were in the hands of scholars, not the court!

Without so much accumulation, how could Yuan Shao organize an army of hundreds of thousands in just a few months?

Liu Yan is completely borrowing flowers to offer Buddha!

And most importantly, corvée has too many disadvantages.

Although the law stipulates that the people must perform corvee (labour, forced labor, and military service), it also stipulates that if the government does not need so much corvee, the common people can replace the corvee before they are exempted.

However, the law does not stipulate the specific content of the people's service.There is also no regulation. When the government does not need so many corvees, whoever needs to serve can only pay for it.

In fact, there is no way the matter can be clearly defined legally.

This gave officials at all levels room to play their hands up and down, leading to countless human tragedies.

For example, Meng Jiangnu cried on the Great Wall.

For example, the Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising.

For example, Liu Bang killed the White Snake Uprising in Mangdang Mountain.

This is all related to unreasonable corvee.

For ordinary people, if the government had the heart, it would be effortless to arrange a job that was extremely tiring or dangerous and impossible to complete, and kill the servicemen.

Therefore, arranging corvee has always been an important way for officials to extort money.

Liu Yan roughly estimated that for every penny of corvee money collected by the imperial court, the common people would have to pay three to five pennies, and most of the money was cheaper than corrupt officials.

That being the case, it is better to cut it across the board and not accept it!

Moreover, Liu Yan believes that after three years of recuperating without taking corvee, the common people of the Han Dynasty gradually regained their vitality.The extra tax that can be paid every year must exceed 500 million yuan.

It's just a long line to catch big fish, so why not Liu Yan?

Of course, it is impossible for the 140 million people to know what Liu Yan thinks.

They only know that Liu Yan is really exempted from a year's worth of corvee worth millions!

Corvée has existed since the era of Yao, Shun and Yu!

The corvée forced countless people to lose their homes and property, and caused countless human tragedy!

"Your Majesty!"

"My lord! My lord father!"

"The Lord of Yao and Shun! Your Majesty is even more like the Lord of Yao and Shun than Yao and Shun!"

……

When people finally reacted, I don't know how many people knelt down on the ground, and how many people shed tears of excitement.

Of course, as it turned out, they got excited too early.

Where is this going?

Liu Yan also has the third biggest reward!

Liu Yan held up a thing and continued: "My third greatest reward is this thing! This thing is called potatoes! Potatoes can be eaten as food, and the yield per mu can reach [-] jin. They have been successfully planted in Liangzhou .It will be implemented all over the world in a short time.”

"What? Mu... How much is the yield per mu?"

"Didn't hear clearly!"

"Looks like a million words?"

"Pull it down, how could it be ten thousand words? Thousand words are impossible!"

"It's five or six hundred catties, so let's thank God. By the way, Your Majesty is right, how much is it?"

……

In fact, Liu Yan just said the word "ten thousand" very clearly, but the sergeants still talked a lot, because they couldn't believe their ears at all.

The yield per mu is ten thousand catties!

Dozens of times the grain yield per mu today!

How can this be?

It's impossible!

I must have heard wrong!

Liu Yan had no choice but to repeat: "You heard me right, what I said is that the yield of potatoes per mu can reach ten thousand catties! Tens of millions!"

"Your Majesty, can you say that again?"

"Yes! Your Majesty, please say it again!"

"Chen... I still didn't hear clearly!"

……

As soon as Liu Yan finished speaking, many soldiers asked eagerly, their voices trembling.

It is of course very rude for the sergeant to ask the emperor to repeat his words.If it was something else, they wouldn't dare to lend them a hundred courage.

However, the news of ten thousand catties per mu made them dare!

Because the people take food as their heaven!

In a sense, the emergence of ten thousand catties of grain per mu means that the sky... has changed!No matter how careful you are in this matter, it is never too much!

Liu Yan repeated again, saying: "In the name of the emperor of Qin and Han Dynasties, I assure you that the yield of potatoes per mu can reach ten thousand catties. Even ordinary fields can reach more than eight thousand catties!"

Liu Yan was the founding king of the Qin and Han Dynasties.

His three guarantees at the grand ceremony of ascension to the throne of the Son of Heaven were already solemn guarantees that could not be more solemn.

There should never be any doubts!

"God... oh my god! Potatoes really yield ten thousand catties per mu!"

"A miracle! This is an out-and-out miracle!"

"The yield per mu is ten thousand catties. How can we Han people worry about being full in the future? There will never be hunger for a big man!"
