Chapter 169: Chapter 169
ed to scold him, but Chen Jingzong jumped off the bed and turned out the lights. When he came back, he lay in bed next door without saying a word.Huayang couldn't help it and gave him a kick.Chen Jing...the first proposition of he Qingxian is to kill all the kings and corrupt officials of the common people.
but this is easier said than done, and Emperor Yuanyou didn't need to think about it at all.
Ho Ching-hsien's second proposal is to set an exemption for patriarchal relatives who used to be completely tax-free, and the rest to pay tax, so that officials and gentry who had a large number of tax exemption in the past should reduce the amount and pay more tax. The second item of
sounds a little easier than the first one, but bringing it out alone will still arouse strong opposition from kings and gentry everywhere.
Chen Ting-Chien shook his head: "taking money from people is like giving money to your parents. Why don't you have much land in your home with clear sleeves and clean sleeves" of course, if you say this, you will be awe-inspiring. If you don't mention it far away, just ask LV GE Lao them. Are they willing to give up their former exemption and listen to you pay more taxes "
he Qingxian glanced at the three cabinet elders behind him.
Lv GE, who was named, immediately sweated on his forehead. He raised his sleeves and wiped his face while feeling ashamed: "there is not much land in my family, but I don't mind paying taxes in accordance with he GE's old method. It's just that the official gentry have been exempted from land tax for more than a thousand years, and the vast number of students have risen to study, not only to serve the court, but also to glorify their ancestors and benefit their relatives." in particular, the patriarch set the official gentry tax allowance into the law. If you suddenly want to change, how can you convince the public "
Shizong was the grandfather of Emperor Huayang and Yuanyou, the ancestor who was scolded by he Qingxian before he died.
when he mentioned Shizong, he Qingxian would have said a lot. If he hadn't kept it himself, he wouldn't have been tired for three days and three nights: "you also mentioned Shizong. When Shizong was a traitor, what else did he care about except Xiuxian" The government has been handed over to the Yan family and his son, who are greedy. What good national policy can such a cabinet help Shizong work out The law, you also know the law, it should be in accordance with the law of the ancestral dynasty. Yan's father and son and corrupt officials all over the world should have been beheaded long ago, and they could have brought them to the point where they are today. "
LV GE Lao:.
Empress Dowager Qi: "Old he GE, do not disrespect Shizong."
Emperor Yuanyou also slipped a drop of sweat from his forehead.
behind the curtain of the side door, Huayang looked at the thin figure of he Qingxian, such as Songru Bai, standing tall all the time, as if he had seen the picture of this man scolding the emperor's grandfather in the past.
when Lvge was always defeated, the heads of veteran generals Lu GE and Shen GE dropped even lower.
he Qingxian swept the two men in turn, stared at Chen Tingjian coldly for a while, and then turned again to Empress Dowager Qi and Emperor Yuanyou: "Madame, your Majesty, the minister knows that if we want to carry out the tax reform mentioned by my minister, we must overcome all difficulties. But this dynasty lasted for more than 200 years, and the vassal kings and officials decayed a little bit from the heyday of Taizu and Chengzu to the present, and they are about to rot to the roots. If the emperor only wants to maintain his own prosperity, then Chen GE's old whip method is indeed feasible, but if the emperor wants to inherit his ancestral heritage for more than 200 years or more, he must make a big change in accordance with my minister's way. "
Emperor Yuanyou was silent for a long time and looked at Chen Tingjian: "what do you think, sir"
Chen Tingjian frowned and had a heavy heart: "what he GE said is reasonable, but it is too difficult to implement, and my minister still adheres to the whip method."
he Qingxian spit directly at him: "Old and cunning, corpse vegetarian meal!"
Chen Tingjian avoided two steps and gave him a cold look, but said nothing but asked Empress Dowager Qi and Emperor Yuanyou to make the decisions.
the matter is too big to make a decision for a moment. Emperor Yuanyou asked the five elders to retire first, and he and the empress dowager had to consider it carefully.
the elders of the cabinet left, leaving two notes, one by Chen Tingjian's "one whip" and the other by he Qingxian's "patriarchal relatives, officials and gentry to pay for grain".
Huayang walked out with feeble steps.
he Qingxian is not terrible, but the impassioned momentum of his speech makes Huayang feel that he is the corrupt official of his patriarchal relatives, or the likes of the emperor and grandfather. In short, he is the object of his abuse.

the three girls looked at each other and felt the same way.
after a moment of silence, Emperor Yuanyou asked, "what does the Queen Mother think"
Empress Dowager Qi didn't even read he Qingxian's notes and said, "I agree with Chen GE's old and safe approach."
none of the former emperors dared to take too many risks, and their mother and son could not afford this risk. According to he Qingxian, if the dynasty was destroyed, she and her son would become empress dowager and king of subjugation, and they could not afford to bear such ancient notoriety.
Emperor Yuanyou lowered his eyes and looked at his sister again.
Empress Dowager Qi's eyes suddenly became fierce, and she was willing to indulge her daughter, but if her daughter crossed the line, she could only continue to be a strict mother.
Huayang didn't seem to notice her mother's line of sight. She wiped her forehead with a veil and said feebly, "it's all right for you and your mother to decide this kind of thing. I don't know anything, and I don't want to get involved."
with that, Huayang resigned first.
when Empress Dowager Qi watched her daughter go out, she told her son: "I know your brother and sister are close, but don't ask your sister about national affairs any more."
Emperor Yuanyou looks respectful, with a touch of sarcasm in his eyes.
if the harem cannot be involved in politics, what does the mother do now
the three white Niangs are busy with each other, and then get together for dinner in the evening.
Huayang: "if I have a bath tomorrow, the horse will probably come to the palace to greet me. Then I will go back with him."
Emperor Yuanyou: "how long have you been staying here"
Huayang: "I can still find a sensible sentence when I go out of the palace. If I don't leave, the queen mother will bother me."
Empress Dowager Qi
Emperor Yuanyou pursed his lips.
since my sister is leaving the palace tomorrow, Emperor Yuanyou invited her to go to the imperial study to have a heart-to-heart talk and play chess.
the Empress Dowager Qi had no reason to stop it, but only vaguely gave her daughter a wink.
Huayang understands that her mother doesn't want her to talk about the tax reform in the morning.
Emperor Yuanyou wanted to listen to his sister and handed both letters to his sister.
Huayang said with a smile, "you are clearly attracted to he GE's old words, otherwise you will be like his mother and choose Chen GE's old whip."
Emperor Yuanyou Zhengshi said, "Don't my sister think that what he GE said is more reasonable"
he is the emperor. Why is he so poor that he has to extort money from the people to strengthen national defense and disaster relief and prevention, while the vassal kings and gentry all wear gold and silver
Huayang picked up he Qingxian's notes.
there is not a word of nonsense in the whole story. First, we enumerate that there will be many crises in the building, and then propose two new policies: one is that the patriarchal clan, the officials and gentry pay grain together, and the other is to take advantage of the prosperity of the whole country to apportion the income to the mu, abolish the previous poll tax and levy it entirely according to the land under the name. There are some detailed rules, to sum up, the lower-middle and poor people almost do not have to pay taxes, the taxes of the upper-middle people are almost unchanged, and the taxes of the wealthier landlords and big landlords are greatly increased.
and most of the landlords in the world are mighty men, officials and gentry, as well as clans and relatives.
that is to say, he Qingxian sacrificed two big swords, each of which robbed his relatives, officials and gentry, and Haoqiang of silver.
Father's whip method is also to snatch money from these people, but compared with he Qingxian's broadsword, father uses more like a farmer's rake. Raking out a little from the edges and corners will make these big landlords uncomfortable, a little bruised at most, and will not hurt their muscles and bones.
when the people are close to officials and gentry, the people are relaxed and the state treasury is full.
without harming the patriarchal relatives, officials and gentry, the imperial court wanted the state treasury to be full, so it could only lay hands on the people.
the pros and cons of the two paths are clear, and it depends on whether the gentleman dares to go.ago, this day really came, and the civil and military officials were not too surprised, and people with friends came to mourn one after another.Chen Jingzong doesn't have any friendship with Yin GE, b...
