The first edition of the first issue of Guanzhong Weekly Report will tell you in detail about the Chen family in Zheng County's tax rebellion, which caused a sensation in Guanzhong. More importantly, it shocked many families with great causes and great causes and disgusted with the common people's tax payments.

When they think of a rebellion that took place more than 200 miles away from Chang'an, they were suppressed by more than 10,000 iron cavalry in less than twelve hours. Such a quick reaction speed and the hundreds of heads hanging outside the Suzaku Gate reminded them how bloody the young master's methods of treating violent tax protesters were.

This rebellion did not affect much, but the impact it caused was unprecedented. In other words, the bloody means of this young master made all the noble families frightened. Although they still complained in their hearts, they did not dare to pay without following the rules.

You should know that nearly three-fifths of the land in Guanzhong were all distributed to his subordinates and nobles by the emperors of all dynasties who built their capital in Guanzhong. This made Guanzhong tax at least more than doubled. In addition to the land tax, the commercial tax also made clear regulations. If you want to evade taxes, well, the fine will be waiting for you at that time.

If you have the ability, you will raise an army to resist. I will search your home and destroy your clan and use your land, property and wealth to fill the national treasury. The people praised you with each other, or they have a lot of balance in their hearts. The officials and gentry paid food together, and I have been carried out more than a thousand years in advance.

On the first day, 50,000 weekly newspapers in Guanzhong were wiped out. In addition to the current news in Guanzhong and surrounding areas, there were also novel serializations and various advertisements. The emergence of newspapers gave birth to a new profession: newspaper readers.

In addition to non-public readers, Guanzhong's counties and counties must also preach various policies and current affairs to the people of the county. Each county has five propagandists. The daily task is to walk in villages of each county and preach new policies and new tax measures. In addition, stop all corvee labor, and all corvee labor will be recruited by the government.

Just this item has captured the hearts of millions of ordinary people in Guanzhong. In the past, the suffering of corvee service was approaching. When Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, he recruited many people to serve and transport grain for hundreds of thousands of troops. In addition, many officials also regarded these people serving as slaves and beating and scolding them.

Nowadays, all government staff are called civil servants, pay monthly wages, retire over 60 years old, and can also receive a retirement salary, which has also attracted a lot of attention.

Every new policy will be published in newspapers, and those propagandists will make most of the people in every county understand the benefits of these new policies, and no longer implement policies that fool the people like in the past, so that the people themselves are exploited by officials but do not know how to stand up and speak, and do not know if the court really allows these officials to do this.

Immediately afterwards, a special issue of Guanzhong Weekly was issued, which also published the news that Li Gui, the King of Hexi, was cleaned up by my son's army and that all the land in Hexi were included in my hands, allowing people in Guanzhong to see the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Revival Army under my son. At the same time, it also made those guys understand that no matter whether it is external pressure or internal pressure, everything is a cloud in the face of the absolute strength in my son's hands.

The autumn harvest finally arrived, and the results reported one after another made me very happy. There was no big difference from the previous expectations. Of course, there was still a certain difference. For example, the harvest of the Chen family in Zheng County is now state-owned. After re-verification, the actual land owned by the family was not more than 3,070 hectares, but a total of 5,021 hectares. Except for the more than 2,700 hectares located in Zheng County, the others were distributed in the surrounding counties.

It’s not clear if you don’t check it, but you’re shocked. In addition, the fields of the gentry in Jian County were also investigated, and nearly 500 hectares of land were added, which shows that the number of hidden fields in this era was really huge.

"I didn't expect that from the Kaihuang period to the present, the young master alone should check the fields of the entire land under the rule and clarify the number of fields." Du Ruhui frowned and stared at the paper full of data in front of me. "The entire Guanzhong, plus Hexi and the northern part of Guanzhong, may be able to increase our taxes a lot..."

Fang Xuanling stroked his long beard and shook his head and said, "If you check now, it is not the time. At least it will be too late to make adjustments during the autumn harvest. What's more, the focus is on stability. According to my opinion, it is better to wait for the autumn harvest to be carried out and check it in detail after the autumn harvest."

"The Ministry of Households' opinions are reasonable. Now the autumn harvest has begun. The taxes paid by each household have been determined. If it is investigated and corrected at this time, it will be unfavorable to the people and the court. I hope the lord will be careful." Pan Wen, the young official, jumped out and spoke.

Pan Wen was born in Zhongmu, Xingyang. He was originally a scholar, but later he was favored by Zhang Xutuo, the governor of Xingyang, and served in his tent. Then, he followed Pei Renji. When Pei Renji and his gang fled, the guy also ran away. Speaking of which, this guy is a rare talent, and now he is the power of the Finance Department and the Tax Department. There is no way. The master has too few people under his command, and many people hold several positions.

He made this guy as tired as a dog, but this young master is definitely not a stingy person. He gets double salary for two positions and three positions. For example, Fang Xuanling has four positions, but he gets four salary for the party.

It is said that Pan Wen is also a literary writer of the Western Jin Dynasty, the famous minister Pan Yue, and the peerless handsome man Pan An who was praised by later generations. However, I really can't see how the ancestor of this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes could be a handsome man with a fancy look that has been famous in history? Maybe it was a genetic mutation.

Khan, I went off topic again. Although many capable people nowadays have multiple positions, fortunately they are all brave men, so they have not delayed any political affairs.

At this time, more than a dozen civil officials came in to discuss matters, all of whom turned their attention to me, which meant that we had given all our opinions and asked the lord to make a decision.

I touched my chin and nodded and said, "According to the words of Shangshu Fang, after the autumn harvest, we will start to clarify all the fields under the Huaxia Revival Army. In addition, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works and other relevant departments will jointly carry out the work together to strive to clarify the details in the spring plowing period next year."

"Nuo" all the officials stood up and said. They waited for the others to leave almost the same, but Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stayed.

"Why, there's nothing else that needs to be dealt with, right?" I said with a big yawn. After rushing back from Zheng County five days ago, I have to continue to deal with the follow-up affairs of the rebellion in Zheng County, and also pay attention to the impact of the Guanzhong Weekly, which has made me tired than cows and sleep less than cats these days

"Young Master, there have been many grain merchants in our Guanzhong during this period." Fang Xuanling's words made me feel a little shocked, and I sat up straight, signaling Fang Xuanling to continue speaking.

All the grain merchants who came from outside Guanzhong were from their hometowns. The purpose of the trip was naturally very clear, that was, they were to come to Guanzhong to collect grain, and most of them came from all over the country, especially the war-torn Central Plains.

Many grain merchants and entourages are not good. According to investigations by the Intelligence Bureau personnel, most of them should be military personnel. The backgrounds of these grain merchants are probably not simple.

As the head of the Intelligence Bureau, Du Ruhui looked worried about the country and the people. "...The Central Plains are chaotic, and the people are living in poverty. Many people are displaced and left their hometowns, which makes the land in the Central Plains deserted. Moreover, due to frequent wars, the harvest of the people is difficult to guarantee. I am afraid that the Central Plains' tyrants are more or less lacking in food."

"And our Guanzhong is peaceful and the people live and work. This year, the land of Guanzhong is blessed by God, and the weather is good. Judging from the current situation, the food obtained must be quite large..." Fang Xuanling's expression was both happy and worried. He was naturally happy that the harvest of Guanzhong was a bumper harvest, which would definitely meet the demand for the entire Guanzhong. What was worried was that the warlords in the Central Plains were like a group of blood-sucking mosquitoes smelling the sweet smell of blood. They sent these grain merchants to Guanzhong, which must be to buy a lot of grain.

"By the way, what is the price of grain in various places?" This young master narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while, then asked Fang Xuanling.

"There are better places in Hebei and Jiangnan, about one stone and two jin of qian. In other places, such as Henan and Shandong, one stone of grain can be as expensive as five jin, and it is better not less than four jin of qian... and most of them are priceless but not grain, and some places are even about to be able to eat with their children."

After hearing Fang Xuanling's explanation, I was shocked. Good, it was really expensive, and the grain in Guanzhong was not expensive, or the peace and peace of Guanzhong has been strictly maintained after being controlled by me. In addition, I was originally the largest grain merchant in Guanzhong, and all counties in Guanzhong all have semicolons. Therefore, the grain price in Guanzhong has been stable from last year to this year, and it has been between 450 and 500 cents. Compared with other places, it is absolutely suitable to be mouth-watering.

More importantly, although the grain prices in Jiangnan and Hebei are already relatively appropriate, the problem is that they are mostly priced but have no food, which is good enough to allow the people under their jurisdiction to eat, so there is no excess grain sold.

Moreover, according to the news obtained by Du Ruhui, as the power and territory grew, scholars surrendered to Du Fuwei. Relying on these scholars, Du gave up his previous bandit-style tactics and began to work hard to build his own territory. Because he was deeply suffering from taxes, Du only charged very low taxes on the territory. At the same time, perhaps due to the innate hatred of poor peasants for corrupt officials, Du Fuwei ordered all officials to be executed regardless of the severity of seriousness. This is of course unreasonable, but it has enabled Du to obtain support from the people.

However, it is not that good to gather people to gather people. If there is a shortage of food, even the army will disperse. So Du Fuwei was interested in purchasing one million stones of grain from Xiao Xian, who was operating Jiangnan last month. Unexpectedly, Xiao Xian made Du Fuwei crazy at a high price of three stagnant and one stone, but he was helpless.
