3797 Chapter 17
Bai Ze sat up from the most basic soldier, killed ten enemies during an enemy country's sneak attack, and then began his promotion journey.
If it were ordinary people, this promotion speed would have long aroused people's doubts.
But Bai Ze is different.
Every promotion from Bai Ze is a promotion caused by blood and flesh efforts.
Bai Ze's body was big and small, covered with scars and sword marks. He was even shot by the enemy with an arrow last time when he killed the enemy, and almost hit the heart.
Bai Ze endured the severe pain and rushed forward, cut off the enemy's leader's head, defeated the enemy's army, and became a hero in the military camp in one fell swoop.
It only took five years.
Bai Ze completely subdued the Northwest Army and became the first general to climb up step by step from a small soldier.
But because Bai Ze was humble from a background and climbed up with his blood and tears, the Northwest Army was very convinced by Bai Ze.
In the northwest, Bai Ze's momentum was faintly better than that of the emperor. For a moment, the Northwest Army only knew Bai Ze, but no one knew about the emperor.
Later, after the emperor learned about the news, he immediately sent someone to take back the tiger talisman and said bluntly that the northwest is now stable. The emperor sympathized with Bai Ze's loyalty and asked Bai Ze to return to Beijing to recuperate.
Bai Ze was very obedient and handed over the tiger talisman, distributing the power in his hand to his subordinates, and preparing to set off to Kyoto to "repay the wound".
But the emperor didn't expect it.
Bai Ze had just walked out of the Ghost Gate, and he ordered the revocation of the tiger talisman to be revoked.
The Northwest Army even began to speak out for Bai Ze, which was a scent of responding if Bai Ze wanted to rebel.
But Bai Ze calmed his soldiers.
The emperor thought that after collecting the military talismans, leaving Bai Ze in the capital, and then finding someone to lead the Northwest Army again, Bai Ze's deterrence will decrease over time.
But he didn't know.
Bai Ze climbed up from the lowest end step by step.
His forces in the Northwest Army were like old trees, and they were inconsistent in the chain. They could not be replaced by just sending a person to replace them.
Moreover, Bai Ze climbed up step by step with blood and tears. You can randomly assign someone who has never even been on the battlefield to be a general, which will only make the Northwest Army feel that the emperor is confused and will become more and more powerful of Bai Ze's momentum.
In Bai Ze's opinion, the emperor's chess move was simply stupid.
Bai Ze returned to the palace and seemed to be obedient, but in fact he took retreat as an advance, washing away nothing left of the emperor's authority in the army.
Eight years after Jiujiu took action.
Not only did the emperor fail to take back the power in the hands of the empress dowager, but even completely lost control of the army. His imperial power encountered unprecedented challenges, and he didn't know where these came from.
Moreover, what made the emperor feel most at a loss was the grain shop that had appeared since unknown.
At first he felt that it was insignificant, but when he started to manage, he would find that the difficulty coefficient was very large.
There is not only one grain shop, and this grain shop has successfully monopolized grain shops across the country at an extremely low price, affecting the whole body.
Not to mention, the owner of this grain shop has a very high reputation among the people, and even many officials admire the so-called wife very much. If he wants to move this grain shop, it would be like to be right with thousands of people.
He clearly has supreme power, but at this moment, he even has to look back and forth if he wants to execute anyone.
In recent years, the empress dowager's hands have become longer and longer, and the emperor's situation has become increasingly difficult.
Compared with the emperor's difficulties, Jiujiu's situation is very leisurely.
After being trained by Mr. Su for a period of time, Mr. Su became ill because he was too naughty.
When Jiujiu found out, she took Little Brother Su by her side and asked Gu Yuan to help teach her, but in fact she personally trained Little Brother Su.
Brother Su is not stupid, but because Mr. Su has never taken care of Brother Su in recent years, he will inevitably develop a rebellious mentality when he suddenly takes care of him, so he is so noisy.
Jiujiu accompanied Su for a while and kept seducing Su with some novel objects. Without Jiujiu's words, Su knew to take the initiative to learn.
And there were also people like Gu Yuan who were well-educated to discuss knowledge with him. Not long after, Brother Su began to study hard.
but.
Under Jiujiu's active temptation, Su Xiaodi soon discovered that the current law seems to have many shortcomings.
Brother Su began to devote himself to studying the law. The more he studied the law in depth, the more he felt that the current law was simply a pair of crumbs.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.
Although scholars have made great contributions to society, businessmen have also made great contributions.
If there were no merchants, the rest would eat and use whatever they wanted, and even many rare items in the palace were brought back from the outside world without fear of life and death.
Businessmen have made great contributions to society, but their status is not as good as farmers who only know how to farm.
Speaking of farmers, they couldn't help but start discussing the current tax laws.
The land in the world belongs to the emperor. It is understandable that farmers need to pay taxes to the court if they farm, but the problem is that the tax rate is very high.
Even if the weather is good, the grain produced in the fields will be barely enough for a family to spend a year after paying taxes. If there is a drought and flood, the annual grain will probably not be enough for a year, let alone the food and clothing of the whole family.
This is also the truth about many refugees selling their children, women and wives.
Brother Su has no feeling about collecting taxes, but it is wrong to just collect taxes without looking at the season or the real situation in the local area.
Moreover, the noble status of the scholar is very unfair.
Because once this family has a scholar, they can receive subsidies from the court.
If you can pass the exam, you will get more subsidies.
Scholars are very difficult, so Brother Su understands this very well, but people are different from others.
Some people passed the Juren shortly after they passed the exam, and then became Jinshi. It is normal to subsidize such people, but it is very unfair to subsidize those who have been scholars all their lives.
A person will stop at scholars all his life, and he will have a future. If you have money to subsidize these people who have no future, it is better to give those who have no money to eat a meal.
Brother Su is like the rising sun in the early morning, his heart is full of energy. He wants to pass the exam and become an official in the Jin Dynasty, and then put forward his own ideas, hoping that the emperor can adopt his own ideas to change these systems.
Brother Su’s idea is simple and beautiful. He wants more people to live a better life.
But what he didn't understand was.
These systems are certainly pedantic, but they are certainly unfair to some.
However, for those who are enjoying the benefits of these systems, these systems are right, good, and need to be preserved for a long time.
For them, the changes proposed by Xiaodi Su may change the fate of some people, but more of them are infringing on their interests.
