Chapter six hundred and seventy-first good news frequently in the capital of God
Chapter 671 Good news comes frequently in the City of God
After Yao Yun beat the chicken blood, the two brothers Jiang He and Jiang Miao left the courtyard with great excitement, as if they had found the goal of life and were full of energy!
The greatest joy in life is to have a goal, work hard for it, and watch the goal be achieved little by little.
Watching the two brothers Jiang He and Jiang Miao leave and come back again, everyone's faces were full of envy.
If Jiang He and Jiang Miao can really cultivate high-yielding hybrid rice and benefit the people all over the world, they will undoubtedly have achieved great merit. No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, they can use this merit to become a god and ascend.
What a great opportunity!
Yao Yun saw everyone's thoughts. Hybrid rice can save countless lives and is a great blessing. Anyone with a bit of ambition will want to get a piece of the pie.
He, Yao Yun, is the king of the Xi Kingdom, the dean of Tianwen College, and the advocate of hybrid rice in this world. As long as it succeeds, no one can erase his achievements, and the golden light of merit will come rolling in.
But for others it's a different story.
"Although Gu has given the task to Jiang He and Jiang Miao brothers, if it is to be accomplished, it requires the efforts of all parties. If you are interested, you can participate. If hybrid rice wants to have high yields, it not only requires hybrid rice seeds, irrigation,
Fertilizing, preventing pests, and preventing poisons are all very critical and require everyone’s concerted efforts, and everyone deserves credit.”
Everyone was very excited and eager to try it.
Yanzhe Ah Qi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am self-aware. I, Ah Qi, am not inferior to others in the art of building structures and civil engineering, but in the art of hundreds of herbs...I should be responsible for the water diversion and irrigation project, and I can be considered as contributing a share."
force."
The second elder Wu Tong also nodded when he heard this: "Ah Qi is right. I am good at witchcraft medicine. In the future, I will get closer to Jiang He and Jiang Miao."
Bald Dragon and Long Erye said that they would protect the Xi Kingdom's future prosperity.
Black Water Black Snake sighed, everyone else was versatile, but she... only knew how to fight, not produce. She wanted to share some merit, but she really couldn't use it.
Seeing what everyone said, Yao Yun nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Minister of the State, research on hybrid rice requires various varieties of rice. You instruct Hu Yi to collect rice seeds from various places and supply them to Tianwen College for research. In addition, other crop seeds can also be used freely.
collect."
"As you command!"
...
A few days later, news came from China that Emperor Mu of the Emperor promulgated new regulations on the "First Acre Tax" to the princes of the world. There was no change in the taxation of one out of nine per mu, but the implementation methods were much gentler, no longer radical, and more
What is important is that the emperor clearly announced to the people of the world that he recognized the private land of the people of the dynasty and granted land use rights to all people of the world. All he had to do was pay tribute to the emperor in full.
[New First Mu Tax] At first glance, there is no change, but in essence there is a huge change. The emperor no longer forces all cultivated land to be "royal land", but recognizes private ownership in a certain sense.
In other words, overnight, thousands of "fief lords" were added to the Xia dynasties. As long as the common people who cultivated farmland became "fief lords" with "fiefs".
This move was undoubtedly a blow to the bottom of the pot, and the princes from all directions were dumbfounded.
Before, they impeached the emperor, opposed the "first-acre tax", made an issue of all the people in the world, stood on the moral high ground, plead grievances for the people, and cursed the emperor. However, after the emperor's decree was announced to the world, all the people cheered, sang and danced, loving the people like a son,
The benevolent and virtuous emperor sings!
How can you resist?! The emperor whom the people support is not restricted by the princes from all directions. Without the people's support, no prince in the world would dare to confront Emperor Mu.
"Some bastard brought the emperor's attention to us. We have a spy!"
That day, similar voices of annoyance came from the palaces of many princes and kings. In the past, the land rent and taxes on private lands belonged to the nobles of each princely country, but now the emperor got a share of the pie. Who can bear this?
This time, all the princes in the world failed to subdue the emperor. So when the emperor frees up his hands to deal with them one by one, they will have no means of resistance at all. They can only grit their teeth and collect taxes per mu, and pay tribute to the emperor!
Of course, many princely states are excited about it!
For example, Izumo, the king of Izumo, turned his worries into joy under the detailed explanation of the country's Prime Minister Yun Zhonghe.
In recent years, he has been working hard to govern and want to revolutionize Chuyun. He was originally worried about dividing the land for the common people, but now the imperial edict of Emperor Mu has given him a clear way.
With this imperial edict, he, Uncle Izumo, can justifiably distribute the land of Izumo country to the common people for farming, support the common people to open up wasteland for farming, strengthen the common people class, draw fresh blood from the common people class, cultivate new nobles, thereby weakening and dividing the old nobles.
, and then strengthen the centralization of power among small and medium-sized enterprises.
There are not many people who hold similar thoughts to Lord Izumo.
The Celestial Dynasty implemented a system of enfeoffment and enfeoffed the princes; the vassal states were no exception. Scholars and officials were enfeoffed and enfeoffed layer by layer, forming a country-by-state China. This resulted in the strength of the old nobles in the vassal states being very strong.
If certain princes and royal families accidentally weaken, the country's affairs will be controlled by their nobles and become puppets. They may even accidentally divide their territory by ministers, and a huge overlord prince will be divided into several small countries.
All kinds of tragedies are vivid in our minds, and the princes from all sides are determined to strengthen the power of the royal family, suppress and divide the old nobles, and form small and medium~centralized power in their own princely states.
Among the eight hundred princes from all directions in the Xia Dynasty, those countries that were able to form a certain degree of small-medium power became stronger.
Many princes are envious of this, but it is not easy to suppress the established nobles, and the risks are extremely high. If you are not careful, you will be backlashed. Few kings have the determination and the skills to achieve great things.
But now, the emperor's imperial edict has become a treasure for those monarchs who want to "small ~ centralize power" but dare not go to war.
With this chicken feather order, they can make a big fuss and greatly divide the power of the country's established nobles.
It is precisely because of this that the memorials to impeach the emperor, Emperor Mu, and protest against the "first mu tax" came to an abrupt end, and there was no more sight of memorials floating towards the imperial capital like snowflakes.
Before, there were still abuses and protests, but not long after, many places began to sing praises for the emperor and spread the reputation of the emperor.
So in the next period of time, the emperor's envoys began the mission of measuring the world and clarifying the cultivated land. This time, they received significantly less resistance, and the "First Acre Tax" promulgated by the emperor was successfully implemented in all vassal states.
Imperial Cloud Master.
Emperor Mu of the Emperor finished his morning court in the Golden Palace, but saw no impeachment memorial from the princes from all directions. The protests from the eight hundred princes also became sparse, and there were more good news from all directions.
After the emperor's envoys clarified the cultivated land of a vassal state, they would register it and send it to the imperial capital. They had not seen one for several days before, but since the promulgation of the "New Acquisition Tax", good news came frequently, several and dozens a day.
This made the princes of the whole dynasty very excited, and they all started to praise the emperor Di Mu.
"The Holy One is so wise that he can make all the princes in the world change their minds with just a little trick. I admire these methods!" Under the jade steps of the Golden Palace, Mr. Jiang sang flatteringly to the Emperor Mu.
The other ministers were not to be outdone, and kept pouring out all kinds of disgusting words of praise.
Emperor Mu, Lao Situ, Situ Xinghou and Emperor Qi heard the praises from the whole palace, and the four of them had complicated expressions!
