God don't even try to stop me from doing infrastructure!

The meeting lasted for a few days, and Yunze lived in the palace for a few days.When it was almost time for spring plowing, the new policy was finalized.

First of all, a series of latecomers and high-ranking officials, such as the mayor, were excluded from the "honorable person" series.It is determined that only the royal family, the family left over from the founding of the country, and the family that has made great contributions to Taixi are identified as 'nobles'.

The priests of the temple system have their own aristocratic identities, but the duties of the temple are not allowed to be passed down through the family. Priests and priests are just duties from the beginning.

In addition to treason, well-documented blasphemy, and behaviors that cause a wide range of bad influences (Yunze told the story of Bloody Mary here, so he added this condition, and the nine priests will judge whether the influence is bad) these three situations can To directly withdraw the title of nobility, a meeting must be held for discussion at other times.

In the future, if you want to increase the number of "honorable people" and grant rights, then hold a meeting, participate in the elders' house and the temple, and only 60.00% of the people will pass.

Similarly, if you want to impeach the nobles who now have the title of "Honorable Person" and deprive them of their rights, you must pass 60.00% of the meeting staff.

This is to limit the king's rights, and he cannot arbitrarily promote and revoke nobles in the future.As a beneficiary, a "noble person" who cannot be arbitrarily exempted from rights, Yunze accepts this well.

Of course, the rights of the nobles were also limited, and they were restricted to the land to which they belonged.

Taking Yunze as an example, the subordinate cities under his name, several private workshops, private farms and pastures are all part of his rights.However, the management of the textile department, the management of the soy sauce factory, the person in charge of the water supply system, etc., belong to the job.

The king has the right to revoke the position directly, but he cannot touch Yunze's private property.That's what it means, there seems to be a rudimentary form of the feudal system.

In addition, no matter how expensive the aristocracy is, it is not as expensive as the law, so breaking the law is still punishable.It is a serious violation of the law, but it is not to the extent that the title of nobility is withdrawn, and property can be used to compensate (this is still a continuation of the old system, where nobles break the law and use property as atonement).

And those who were honorable before, but are now eliminated, such as city officials, now have a new name 'custodian', they have positions, but no rights.Although they are not 'honorable persons', they can enjoy this kind of power when they are city officials. His children and descendants cannot, and they cannot directly pass on their positions to their descendants.

His Majesty the King took out a big killer. If the children of these city officials want to be promoted, they must pass the assessment. If they fail the assessment, they are civilians.The key item of the assessment is the law (for details, please refer to Yunze's method of writing questions).

But the most coquettish thing is not this, but the private goods carried by Yunze - the step-by-step land taxation policy.

Land is the largest means of production in this era. The more land you have, the more resources you have.

This limitation is that non-nobility, a poor peasant with only one piece of land, wheat is subject to four tiers of tax, and non-wheat is subject to three tiers of tax.Those who own three or less lands will be taxed at five tiers for wheat and four tiers for non-wheat.Most of the common people in Taixi who own four to ten lands are taxed at six tiers for wheat and five tiers for non-wheat.

For rich peasants who own land ranging from 11 yuan to 30 yuan, wheat is subject to seven tiers of taxation, and non-wheat is subject to six tiers of taxation. For land above 30 yuan, eight-tier tax and seven-tier tax are collected respectively.

Yunze's theory is that through this method, the total amount of tax that can be collected in a year will far exceed the previous land tax model.Moreover, because 80.00% of the common people do not own ten pieces of land, there are not many people who are really passive about cheese, and the society is still stable.

In addition, this method can encourage big landlords to distribute the land they own to more children to avoid high taxes, and it also prevents someone from acquiring more land and gathering forces to attack the current ruling class.

Yunze can't move the land in the hands of the nobles at present, one of the rights of the nobles is that the land does not pay taxes.People simply own a city, own China, Yunze himself is.But he can limit the number of landlords, so that more commoners have the opportunity to own their own land.

The nobles present all expressed their support for this policy, because the rise of the middle-level upstarts threatened them, so that at least they could limit the power of the middle-level.As for the people at the bottom?Seriously, actually... most people don't really care.

The analogy is: here is a herd of sheep, the wolf will eat it, and the lion will eat it too.With the total number of lions under control, Yunze will reduce the number of wolves. Although the sheep still have to face wolves and lions, their situation will be relatively better.

So how can the rights of those who have been identified as nobles be passed on without loss?

Men and men's wives can decide on a special emblem, they choose the most capable heir from among their children (natural and adopted), give him/her most of their property and this emblem, and also give the nobility His/her identity is given to him/her.

If both husband and wife are nobles, they can respectively choose heirs to inherit their noble status.

Note here that it must be the children of him and his wife.

The dignity of Taixi people depends on the mother.

As the mother is noble, so is the child.The children born to a Taixi man and his concubine are of low status because their mothers are of low status.Therefore, the meeting room directly confirmed that the concubine Ji's child has no inheritance rights, and would rather find an adopted child than pass it on to a humble son. (Blood from the mother is the mainstream of this world, so if Ihuus has not broken away from the status of slave son, the throne has nothing to do with him.)

In addition, it is a common practice for Taixi people to leave most of their property to their favorite children, and it is inconceivable to distribute it equally to all children.

Like King Taixi, he decided early on that most of the things would be left to Prince Sham, and the rest would be given to Prince Lanche and other children... Oh, no, you should work hard to find a job.By the way, save your own life-because it is also a routine operation for the heir to kill other brothers and sisters, King Taixi has done it himself.

In addition, heirs are not limited to biological children and men, is it surprising?

The fact is that the mortality rate of children is very high, and many people have never had a biological child in their lives, so they choose to adopt.Moreover, Taixi traditional culture believes that biological children and adopted children should be treated the same.

And now the kind of document that expressly stipulates that men are superior to women has not yet appeared.

In the semi-savage era, there were still many matriarchal clans left, basically following the law of the forest.If they are capable, even daughters can inherit most of the property and rights, as long as they are very good, such as the first princess and Princess Sharjah.In addition, there are quite a few female nobles in Taixi, and the positions of these people are more suitable for female heirs, so they will choose female heirs.

Looking at the freshly released regulations, Yunze stroked his chin and wondered how this happened.

He did suggest to His Majesty the King that officials should study law, but taking the law as an assessment of whether a person has the ability to become a 'custodian' basically has nothing to do with him.And this kind of clear aristocratic inheritance system is something that Yun Ze never imagined.

In fact, there are still many shortcomings, but compared with the old system, it has improved a little.

He was just a little worried, worried that the city officials would rebel, because they were deprived of the status of 'honorable ones', and their children could not inherit their positions.In addition, there is the big killer of stepped land taxation.

Yunze, who doesn't want Taixi who has just settled down to have civil strife, is a little worried.

But after this year's spring plowing started, Yunze devoted himself to planting.

Wheat, corn and canola were grown in the previous wheat fields.After solving the problem of salt, it is time to solve the problem of cooking oil, so he planted rapeseed this year.

The original flower garden is still planted with roses, mirabilis, red and blue flowers and comfrey, and the newly reclaimed flower field will be planted with alfalfa first, and plans will be made next year.Instead, the land where cherry tree saplings were planted before is now planted with bitter oranges. The flowers, leaves, and fruits of bitter oranges are all useful. They are a kind of cash crop, and they should be able to adapt to the local climate.

Soy sauce started popping up on the streets of Curry as a substitute for salt.

A soy sauce specialty store opened directly on the commercial street, next door to Prince Sham's sugar specialty store and Yunze's bean product specialty store.

The Kuri people had heard of Miko making a watery, salty sauce, but this was the first time they had seen what soy sauce looked like.It is much cheaper than salt, and has a special aroma of fermented beans, which can increase the deliciousness of food and replenish the body's salt.

It can be said that as soon as soy sauce was born, it became an indispensable seasoning in the kitchen of the Curry people.It was so cheap that slum housewives would come and buy it by the bottle.

The soy sauce workshop was formally established, which is a semi-state-owned workshop.Yunze came up with the formula, and he has been doing the preliminary work all the time, and he brought the soybean seeds, so Yunze will get three tiers of dividends in the future, and he decides to turn one tier of dividends into employee benefits (kindergarten, New Year’s Eve gifts, workers’ compensation, etc.) and bonuses.But their basic salary is still in charge of the royal family.

The soy sauce workshop is basically dominated by female employees, because these are already light physical labor.Light physical work is generally done by women, and most of the people who make sauces at home are women.So the soy sauce workshop will probably become a women's department like the textile department.

Since it is the women's department, the affiliated kindergarten will keep up with it. It just so happens that there are still a group of maids and nuns who are about to retire in the palace.They are very envious of the old sisters who entered the kindergarten before. They don't have to worry about food or drink, deal with children, work is not heavy, and the gods provide for the elderly. Where else can they find such a place?

The kindergarten is still managed by Yunze, but the soy sauce workshop is now managed by Prince Lanche, and Yunze has half of the management and appointment rights.

There are too many workshops under Yunze's hands, and one person can't manage them, so he directly gave the soy sauce workshop, which is biased towards people's livelihood, to the royal family. They will probably plant a large amount of soybeans this year.

While Yunze was busy, Taixi's new law came into effect.

Of course, it was opposed by some city officials.But it is a pity that the city officials who have no army in their hands and have not yet formed a powerful family are not opponents.The enemies of these upstarts are not only the king, but also the old nobles who have taken root in Taixi. The strength of the two sides is very different, and they cannot do it.

Opponents, step down.

His Majesty's attitude is so tough: Your management right is bestowed by me, and if I can bestow it, I can take it back.

His Majesty the King even took a family of a city official that he raised with one hand to sacrifice to heaven.It was the city magistrate of Yancheng who he trusted so much and became his confidant at one time, and his whole family.Now they have been uprooted and there is nothing left.

His Majesty the King showed the people in Yancheng the evidence of the city magistrate's crimes: stealing the king's property (intercepting taxes), illegally building the city lord's mansion, killing and injuring civilians for no reason (the victim's family members testified at the scene), seizing fertile land (the victim continued to testify), smuggling white salt...

Sure enough, the people of Yancheng were emotional and demanded severe punishment for the magistrate's family.

Afterwards, the officials representing the king in the past sentenced several major perpetrators to death, the followers were branded on their faces and demoted to slaves, and some unrelated members became civilians—all their property was confiscated.

In this way, the people in Yancheng still felt that it was not enough, and they all felt that His Majesty the King was still generous.

In addition, the family of the Six Princes secretly supported by Yancheng city officials was also severely damaged.

As I said before, for the king, the third and fourth princes are his sons, and the others are the by-products of a long day of greed.Therefore, His Majesty's attitude towards other children is this: I am happy to give it to you, you can keep it, but I am not happy to give it to you, you can't snatch it.

He liked the sixth prince quite a lot before, because he was good-looking and could talk, and he even gave him a city (not a city, but all taxes were given to him).Now the king is not happy, and the city takes it back directly.So now the sixth prince is stealing chickens but not losing money.

The common people's support for the king and the support for the high-level officials in Taixi rose sharply. The step-by-step land tax collection is very friendly to the bottom-level people, which can be said to be particularly friendly.Yunze perfectly hides it.

The middle-aged His Majesty the King once again showed the world his cold and powerful side.

He told everyone in this way: I am the only master of Taixi, and everyone should obey my command.

So how to follow his command?The Son of God inspired him, that is the law, the law is the embodiment of the king's rights and dignity, and the law is above the city officials.

The law is a kind of contract. If you live on this land, you must abide by the laws of this land, because this is the contract you signed with this land.The law is sacred, breaking the law is breaking the contract, and breaking the contract should be punished, and you can't escape just because you are a city magistrate.

After that, stonemasons in various cities began to get busy. They wanted to make a tall stone tablet with the laws of Taixi engraved on it.This stele will be erected in the square of the city, and everyone should see it. It is the rule made by the sages, and it is the words of the king.

Once the stele was released, at least the citizens were given a chance—they could use the law to judge whether their officials made mistakes.

Many city officials who were originally like emperors had to put away their minions, with a sword hanging over their heads.Small mistakes may be let go, but once a big mistake is made, or someone stabbed to the king, the city magistrate of Yancheng will be next.

"Son of God, the stone and cement in Yancheng have been prepared. If you come back from the port, can you go there?" His Majesty the king who had just had a full meal looked at the rich Yunze with a smile.When Taixi came from Yunze, the king's private treasury became more and more full, isn't it just bringing money?

"Your Majesty has done a good job, please leave it to me."

Now the king has prepared the basic conditions, materials and personnel, all he has to do is to integrate them.

To be honest, when Yunze suggested it, he was completely complaining. He really didn't expect His Majesty the King to accomplish this in such a short period of time, which is amazing.He deserves to be a king who has expanded Taixi's territory by one-third and won the hearts of the people by acting rudely. He has his own way of doing things.

When the convoy left Curry, the king and the first princess saw him off at the city gate.

Yunze waved at them: "The common people in Taixi will definitely eat clean and cheap salt."
