    The first page of the first issue of Guanzhong Weekly gave a detailed account of the Chen family's rebellion in Zhangxian County due to tax resistance, which caused a sensation throughout Guanzhong. More importantly, it shocked many big businesses.  Those noble families in Guanzhong are very disgusted with having to pay taxes like ordinary people.  When I think about a rebellion that took place more than 200 miles away from Chang'an, it was suppressed by more than 10,000 cavalry in less than twelve hours after just showing off its power. Such a quick reaction speed, and the numbers hanging outside the Suzaku Gate.  The hundreds of heads reminded them of how bloody my master was in dealing with violent tax resisters.  This rebellion did not spread widely, but its impact was unprecedented. In other words, the ruthless and bloody methods of this young master made those noble families terrified. Although they were still complaining in their hearts, they did not dare to  Not paying according to the rules.  You must know that nearly three-fifths of the land in Guanzhong was given to their ministers and princes and nobles by the emperors of all dynasties who established their capitals in Guanzhong.  As a result of my actions, the taxes in Guanzhong can at least double or more. In addition to land taxes, commercial taxes have also been clearly stipulated. If you want to evade taxes, well, you will be fined then.  Waiting for you.  If you have the ability, raise an army to resist. I will confiscate your property, exterminate your clan, and use your property and wealth to fill the national treasury.  The common people praised it, or in other words, they felt more balanced in their hearts. The officials and gentry all paid for it, which was advanced by more than a thousand years by this young master.  On the first day, all 50,000 weekly newspapers in Guanzhong were swept away. In addition to current affairs in Guanzhong and surrounding areas, there were serialized novels and various advertisements. The emergence of newspapers gave birth to  A new profession: newspaper reader.  Moreover, in addition to non-relevant newspaper readers, the counties and counties in Guanzhong must also publicize various policies and current affairs to the people of the county. Each county has five preachers, and their daily task is to communicate in the villages of each county.  Walking around, preaching new policies and new taxation methods, and also stopping all corvee services, all of which are done by government recruits.  ¡°This alone has won the hearts of millions of ordinary people in Guanzhong.  In the past, the pain of corvee was very close to our eyes. When Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, he conscripted many people to serve and transport food for hundreds of thousands of troops. In addition, many officials also treated these serving people as slaves and beat and scolded them wantonly.  .  Nowadays, all government workers are called civil servants and are paid monthly. When they retire over sixty years old, they can still receive retirement pay. This has also attracted a lot of people's attention.  Every new deal will be announced in newspapers, and those preachers will make most people in every county understand the benefits of these new deals, instead of engaging in obscurantist policies like in the past, which will make the people themselves suffer.  They were squeezed by officials but didn't know how to stand up and speak, let alone whether the court really allowed these officials to do this.  Immediately afterwards, a special issue of "Guanzhong Weekly" was published, and the news about Li Gui, the King of Daliang in Hexi, was completely wiped out by my army, and the land in Hexi was in my hands. More  This is to let the people in Guanzhong see the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Renaissance Army under my master.  At the same time, it also makes those guys understand that no matter whether it is external pressure or internal pressure, everything is just a cloud in the face of the absolute strength in the hands of this young master.  The autumn harvest has finally arrived, and I am very pleased with the results that have been reported one after another. It is indeed not much different from the previous expectations. Of course, there are still certain differences. For example, the field harvest of the Chen family in Zhang County is now  It is state-owned, and after re-examination, the actual land owned by his family is not more than 3,070 hectares, but a full 5,021 hectares, except for the more than 2,700 hectares located in Zhang County  , the others are distributed in surrounding counties.  In Nima, you won¡¯t know unless you check, and you will be shocked when you check. In addition, the fields of the gentry in Zhang County were also checked, and nearly 500 hectares of land were added, which shows that the number of hidden fields in this era is really huge.  "Unexpectedly, from the reign of Emperor Kaihuang to the present, if you are just a young master, we should conduct a detailed inspection of the fields in the entire area under your control and clarify the number of fields." Du Ruhui frowned and stared at the sheet in front of this young master.  The data sheet said.  "The entire Guanzhong, plus Hexi and the northern part of Guanzhong, I'm afraid our taxes will increase a lot" Fang Xuanling stroked his long beard and shook his head: "It's not the time to investigate now.  , at least during the autumn harvest, it is already too late to make adjustments. What's more, during the autumn harvest, stability is the most important thing. In my opinion, it is better to wait until after the autumn harvest to conduct a detailed investigation. " "The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is right.  The autumn harvest has begun, and the taxes and fees paid by each household have been determined. If we check and change it at this time, it will be detrimental to the people and the government. I hope your lord will be careful." Pan Wen, a young official, jumped out and made remarks.  road.  Pan Wenwen was from Zhongmu, Xingyang. He was originally a scholar, but later he was favored by Zhang Xutuo, the general guard of Xingyang, and worked in his tent. Then, he followed Pei Renji, and when Pei Renji and his group fled, this guy also followed him.  He ran away. Speaking of which, this guy is a rare person who knows strategy and is good at numbers.Mr. Cai is now the most effective general of the Finance Department and the Taxation Department. There is no way, the number of people under my master is really too small, and many people have multiple jobs.  This guy is as tired as a dog. However, I am definitely not a stingy person. If I have two jobs, I will get double salary, and if I have three jobs, I will get three salaries. For example, Fang Xuanling holds four jobs, but he gets four salaries.  salary.  It is said that Pan Wen is the queen of the Western Jin Dynasty writer and famous official Pan Yue, who is also the queen of the peerless beauty Pan An that is touted by later generations.  But I really can¡¯t see how the ancestor of this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes could be a handsome man who will go down in history.  Maybe it's a genetic mutation.  Khan, running the topic again, although many powerful hands are both handsome, but they are all courageous people who are brave, so they have not delayed any political affairs.  At this time, more than a dozen civil servants who came in to discuss matters all turned their attention to me, which meant that we gave our opinions and asked the lord to make a decision.  I touched my chin and nodded: "According to Fang Shangshu's words, after the autumn harvest, we will begin to clarify all the fields under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Renaissance Army. In addition, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and other relevant departments will jointly work together to strive for next year.  The period for spring plowing has been clarified. ""Promise." All the ministers and workers stood up to answer the promise.  The others had almost left, but Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stayed.  "Why, there won't be anything else that I need to deal with, right?" I said with a big yawn.  After rushing back from Zhangxian five days ago, I had to continue to deal with the follow-up affairs of the Zhangxian rebellion, and also had to pay attention to the impact of "Guanzhong Weekly", which made me feel more tired than an ox these days and I couldn't sleep at all.  Less than a cat "Sir, during this time, many grain merchants have come to Guanzhong." Fang Xuanling's words made my heart skip a beat. He sat up straight and motioned for Fang Xuanling to continue.  Those who came were all grain merchants from outside Guanzhong. The purpose of their visit was of course very clear, that is, they came to Guanzhong to collect grain, and most of them came from all over the country, especially the war-torn Central Plains.  And many of the entourage of the grain merchants are not good-natured. According to 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 concerned about the country and the people.  "The Central Plains is in chaos, and the people are in dire straits. Many people have been displaced and left their homes, leaving the land in the Central Plains barren. Moreover, due to frequent wars, it is difficult to guarantee the harvest of the people. I am afraid that all the powerful people in the Central Plains, more or less, lack food.  " "And we have peace in Guanzhong, and the people live and work in peace. God has blessed the land of Guanzhong this year, and the weather is good. Judging from the current situation, we will definitely get a lot of food" Fang Xuanling's expression was both happy and worried. She was very happy.  Naturally, there will be a bumper harvest in Guanzhong, which will definitely meet the needs of the entire Guanzhong.  What is worrying is that the warlords in the Central Plains are like a group of blood-sucking mosquitoes that have smelled the sweet smell of blood. They have sent these grain merchants to Guanzhong for the purpose of purchasing large quantities of grain.  "By the way, what's the price of food in various places?" I narrowed my eyes and thought for a long time, and then asked Fang Xuanling.  "The area in Hebei and the Jiangnan area is better, which is about one stone and two grains. In other places, such as Henan and Shandong, one stone of grain is as expensive as five grains, and it is not less than four grains and one stone  ¡­and most of them are expensive but have no food, and in some places, they are almost at the point where they have to give up their food for food.¡± Hearing Fang Xuanling¡¯s explanation, I couldn¡¯t help but be surprised, ¡°Oh dear, it¡¯s really expensive.¡±  Yes, and the food in Guanzhong is not expensive, or it can be said that Guanzhong, which has always been peaceful, has been very strict in maintaining prices after it was controlled by me. In addition, I was originally the largest grain merchant in Guanzhong.  Everyone has a semicolon, so the price of food in Guanzhong has been very stable from last year to this year, staying between 450 and 500 yuan. Compared with other places, it is definitely affordable and mouth-watering.  More importantly, although the price of food in the Jiangnan and Hebei areas is already relatively affordable, the problem is that most of the food is priced but not available. It would be good if it can feed the people under the rule. How can there be excess food for sale?  .  Moreover, according to the information Du Ruhui received, with the growth of power and territory, scholars began to join Du Fuwei. Relying on these scholars, Du gave up his previous rogue tactics and began to work hard to build his own territory.  Because he himself suffered from taxation, Du only collected very low taxes in his territory. At the same time, perhaps out of the innate hatred of poor farmers towards corrupt officials, Du Fuwei ordered that all corrupt officials should be executed regardless of the severity. This  Of course it was unreasonable, but it helped Du win the support of the people.  However, it is not that easy to recruit the people. If there is a shortage of food, let alone the people, even the army will disperse. Therefore, last month, Du Fuwei had intended to buy millions of grains from Xiao Mian, who ran Jiangnan.  , Unexpectedly, Xiao Mian offered the high price of three pieces and one stone, which made Du Fu go crazy, but he was helpless.  Hearing this, my business mind began to think rapidly again, while Du Fang and Du Fang watched me quietly.
