The fifth year of Shenwu, September 1st.

A shocking news instantly swept the world. The Chen family in Yangzhou openly launched a rebellion to attack Jiangning City. They were defeated by the imperial army and killed all the families, which implicated tens of thousands of tribes.

A family that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years was like an ant being killed by the court. It can be imagined that all the families in the world lost their voices for a moment, and the families with other thoughts stopped and shrank their heads in their crotch and dared not make any moves.

Ma Jin suddenly became quiet as the world became quiet, and the reforms that had previously hindered many obstacles were implemented smoothly, which made him realize that the strategy of killing gorillas to warn quails was correct.

In fact, all the aristocratic families in the world are all urinary, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, so the policy of carefreeness will not work for these aristocratic families, and will only make them more aggressive. Only by implementing an iron-blooded policy and being afraid of killing them or beating them will they cling at your feet with their tongues.

As for whether it will cause rebellion in the world, we need to pay attention to strategy. Blind killing will naturally make the world excited, but killing will be different from standing on the commanding heights of morality. At least, these aristocratic families cannot catch the handle of attacking the court. As for the aristocratic families wantonly corrupting the reputation of the court in the local area, Ma Jin naturally has a way to counter it.

Lingzhou, Tantian County.

In a remote village in the mountains, a team of fully armed soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp-sharp soldiers stood in the center of the village.

The villagers were surrounded by villages, listening to the guards who looked like little officers reading something.

"... His Majesty the Emperor said that those who report to the book will be given five acres of land for the elderly and young women and children will be given two acres of land according to the law. The court officials will pay silver to buy oxen for silver money... The stalls will be paid to the acres of people... The tax on the population... Those with land will be charged for the land tax based on the amount of land acres... Those without land will be exempted from tax..."

At this time, an elderly man walked out of the crowd and said in a trembling voice:

"This official, do you mean that the court will not collect taxes on the tuition in the future?"

The officer nodded and said loudly:

"Yes, Your Majesty is kind. In order to allow the people to live and work in peace, the cap tax will be abolished from now on. From now on, the imperial court will only collect land tax based on the land acres, that is, land tax. Those who do not have to plow the fields will naturally not have to pay taxes!"

The old man's face turned red with excitement for a moment: "It's so good that the heavens have eyes, let's meet a benevolent king!"

The other villagers were naturally so excited that they could no longer hide from the court's taxes from now on, nor did they have to hide their relatives in order to pay less taxes. They could also come out openly.

Looking at the excited villagers, the officer smiled slightly. Although he was just an insignificant soldier among the millions of elite soldiers summoned by Ma Jin, as Ma Jin's loyalty, he naturally hoped that the country he was in charge of his own master would get better and better. This is probably the goal of all the summoned people to strive for throughout their lives.

"Friends, the court not only did not collect taxes according to Dingkou, but also those who have no land registered in the book will be given five acres of land for the elderly, young, women and children, and two acres of land for the elderly, young, women and children!"

"Really, as long as the registered person is given to the field? No matter how male or female?" An old woman in the crowd asked in disbelief.

"Yes, as long as the registered landless person is not allowed to cultivate the fields, regardless of gender, and register and publish it in the contract!"

"Also, the court will make up for the number of fields for those with less land. As long as those with more land pay taxes according to the law, the court will naturally not take away the farmlands you and others!"

In an instant, many people in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief, and all of them became calm. The officer suddenly changed his tone and said:

"However, although the imperial court sent it to you and others to plow the fields, you have to reclaim the land by yourself. The imperial court will distribute oxen grain to you."

"These ox grain seeds are not for free for you, but Sihai Money House lends money to you to buy ox grain seeds."

The officer looked at the villagers who had gradually changed their faces and continued:

"But you don't have to worry, the money lent to you by Sihai Villa will not charge any interest, as long as you return the principal within five years."

For a moment, the villagers were in an uproar, and there were still money houses that did not lend money to usury? How could such a good thing be possible?

"What you said is true, don't have interest on borrowing money?" the villagers asked cautiously.

The officer smiled:

"If other money houses are naturally not so kind, but this Sihai money house is different. He was opened by His Majesty himself, just to do practical things for us ordinary people, so naturally he will not charge any interest!"

The villagers couldn't help but suddenly realized that they had to charge interest. It turned out that it was founded by the emperor and the old man, and they became more and more grateful to the emperor for a moment.

The officer took the opportunity to say:

"The court borrows free of charge. Are you willing to register and go to open the land?"

The enthusiasm of the villagers had long been stirred up by the officers, and they shouted: "I am willing, I am willing..."

The officer nodded and said loudly again:

"There is another good thing for fellow villagers, that is, His Majesty has issued an order to the world to abolish all harsh and miscellaneous taxes, and only impose land taxes on the people, and for all the surplus things such as fishing and hunting, they will no longer be taxed as long as they are not sold."

Before the people woke up from their sluggishness, they continued:

"And the tax rate that Your Majesty has set is that only one dou of grain will be collected per mu, and a grain farm will be set up all over the world. In the future, the tax will not be collected by the government, but will be collected directly by the grain farm. You don't have to distribute the grain to money, so that illegal people can make profits from it and harm their own interests!"

"A dou of grain?" the people couldn't help but murmured. The surprise came too suddenly. You should know that 60% of the grain they planted had to pay taxes before.

In other words, they used to collect six dou of 180 kilograms of grain per mu, and they needed to pay more than 100 kilograms to pay taxes, but now they only need to take out one dou of 30 kilograms. This is simply a grace that is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.

The officer raised the big paper folded into two pieces in his hand and said:

"The holy metaphors I just mentioned are included on this piece of paper, which is the Great Weekly Daily. In the future, any imperial edicts in the court will be logged on it, so that everyone in the world can see it!"

"Yes...yes...but we are not illiterate!"

The officer smiled slightly and said, "Friends, don't worry about this. The court has invited a storyteller in the town. They will preach the contents of the Sunday newspaper in front of the notice board every day so that the villagers will not miss the court's strategies to benefit the people!"

…………

This scene naturally happened not only in Lingzhou, but in full swing all over the world. For a time, the whole world was filled with voices praising the emperor, and the people of the aristocratic families were caught off guard and didn't know how to deal with it.

This idea of ​​public opinion is really too damaging. It can be said that everyone has taken off their clothes and placed them on the surface. Everything is gone. It is impossible for them to fool the people.

In a teahouse in Jiangning Prefecture, Yangzhou, there were guests in the house. On the railing, a storyteller with white hair and beard reading a newspaper:

"On September 18, the fifth year of Shenwu, Chen Hai, the leader of the riot bandit in Jiangning, was sentenced to Ming Zhengdian..."

"Good death!" A man below shouted: "This kind of traitor, who is ignorant of the sky and earth, wants to fight against the court, is damn!"

"That's right, I heard that he still wants to attack our Jiangning City. If he really gets beaten down, we can still end up? I'm afraid our family will be destroyed!"

"Oh, it's just a pity that one person is wrong, and he has implicated tens of thousands of tribes and suffered disasters."

"What's the pity? What kind of virtue is their Chen family? Who doesn't know about the entire Jiangning City? Dominate the market, buy and sell forcibly, rob women, and kill the people at will... The evil things their Chen family did are simply too numerous to write about. Now the retribution is here, who will blame..."

The Storyteller looked at the noise below the stage and couldn't help but pat the talk board gently and said aloud:

"You guys, do you still listen or not? If you don't listen, I will go down..."

"No, Old Man Bai, you can't leave. We are so excited about listening?"

"That's right, Mr. Bai, you continue to say, then..."

The storyteller named Bai looked at the teahouse that was gradually quieting down, nodded with satisfaction, coughed lightly and continued to recite:

"On September 27, the fifth year of Shenwu, the Holy Emperor issued an order to abolish the Dingkou tax law and instead impose land tax based on the amount of land acres of land. Those who have no land will no longer impose taxes and cultivate and maintain peace with the people..."

"On October 1st, the Holy Emperor issued an order to express his decree to the world, determine the land taxes in the world, abolish all harsh taxes in the taxes, and according to the north and south, one mature one, one dou of grain will be determined by one dou of grain, and two dou of grain will be determined by the local governments... Local governments shall not privately send more land taxes to collect more land taxes... Violators are punished for conspiracy..."

"On October 3, an illegal gangster Zhang Xing, a man from Motuo County, Qingzhou, blocked the tenants from registering and was sentenced to justice by the soldiers inspected by the Qingzhou Governor's Office on the spot..."

"On October 3rd, there were illegal people in Liangzhou..."

Listening to the storyteller talking about the series of virtues of today's son, the following audience sighed:

"The Holy Emperor is in power, we ordinary people are blessed..."

In a elegant room on the second floor of the teahouse, there were several young people who were indignant and dared not openly slander Dangzi, so they could only lower their voices and vent their vents in the room:

"What kind of bullshit moral politics? In my opinion, I am clearly tyranny. Isn't you feeling panicked about the law of trampling on my ancestors so that the cap tax that has been implemented for tens of thousands of years? "

"That's right, you don't know. Just the two days ago, a distant relative in Liusu, my family was told by the county magistrate Xiao Pinghe that he was a crime of corruption by the county magistrate Xiao Pinghe. Not only was he killed himself, but his wife, children and young people were sent to the deserted north of Yingzhou to cultivate farmland. How miserable it was!"

"This is pretty good. The worst thing is that the Chen family in Yangzhou is that tens of thousands of people were killed. There are countless innocent people among them. Such tyrants and these untouchables even praise them in every way. It's really outrageous!"
