That's right, the gentry on both sides of the parade exchanged glances with each other, and some of them were tacitly understood. There were not many fields in Xuzhou, and these fields came out from there, currently, Shandong and Nanzhili.

It may not be a heavy burden to spread it out, but after all, it is to cut off the body of everyone. Looking far away, if the reward of the Zhao family army in Xuzhou is to give land to the fields of military merits, then with the victory after victory, everyone's losses will increase.

The bigger the.

"Aren't you here to attract people's hearts this time?" Someone whispered, but no one took it. The gentry who runs the industry and commerce were calm. Anyway, their industry had nothing to do with this. They were born close to Xuzhou because they knew Xuzhou.

We will definitely give them all kinds of conveniences.

At this stage of the military parade, representatives of Shandong powerful people with different minds were taken to the house where the banquet was located. This level of banquets could no longer be held in the restaurants and restaurants. They used the house, chefs and ingredients at the house of inspector Li Xun's home.

The likes were all gathered by the wealthy families in Linqing, and they were determined to be excellent. First, they were to entertain guests well, and second, they could not lose the face of Linqing's elders.

These powerful men either stood for a long time or were shocked, and they all worked very hard. They changed their clothes and rested in this house, and then went to the hall to wait. Dozens of people were silent there, and each family had their own positions.

Their size is too big, it is difficult to form an alliance, and it is not easy to communicate with each other. There are only a few pairs of familiar pairs of whispers, for fear of being heard by others.

Zhao Jin was not in a hurry to come. He also wanted to award awards and meritorious generals and soldiers to reward these heroes in front of the brigade. As early as when the Wenxiang Rebellion was pacified, the Zhao family army had a mature military merit system because the Zhao family army

Unlike the official army, if you don’t kill the head, many new recruits think that they are a member of the square formation and will never have the chance to be promoted. However, after understanding this system, you will know that this is not the case. Whether you are diligent in training or not violates military discipline.

The number of times, how many battles you participate in, and many details are all the standards for your promotion accumulation. As long as you strictly abide by military rules, train diligently, and move forward bravely during combat, you will not treat you unfairly.

Of course, if you climb up the city first when siege and kill the enemy and capture prisoners when charging, these outstanding achievements will not be treated unfairly. Unlike the past when I was awarded merits and awarded awards, this Northern Expedition to the capital was of great significance, so Xuzhou

Bian specially created a batch of silver medals to send them. The heroes of this battle, the corporate commanders of various brigade teams, and the generals above will receive a silver medal, which symbolizes qualifications and merits.

When Zhao entered the banquet hall, lunch time had passed. When he saw him coming, representatives of Shandong gentry on each table stood up to greet him. They were so hungry that they were not good due to the etiquette rules.

Fortunately, the Li family sent a batch of snacks in advance to let everyone keep their stomachs.

"I've been waiting for a long time, thank you all for your hard work." Zhao Jin said politely first. Everyone said in fear and fear that nothing was wrong. No matter what mentality was before, after reading the Zhao family army's big reading, the Shandong tyrants all made one thing clear.

Even if Zhao Jin's strength is far superior to them or above them unite, he has no other choice than to treat such strength except fear and fear.

After everyone sat down, they started serving the dishes. When the dishes were served, Zhao Jin stood up with a glass of wine. Everyone hungry and stood up quickly. Zhao Jin raised his glass and said, "This Shandong will be Zhao from now on. I hope to get along well with you, don't I was hurt by the harmony, so I will have this cup for us in the future.”

Zhao Jin drank it all in one go, and the others also drank it. Such a banquet was a conversation, so the wine was also rice wine, and the cups were all small cups. Everyone's face was still not very good after drinking it, not because This wine, but Zhao Jin's opening remarks, was wrong no matter how he heard it.

If it was a banquet held by the government, everyone naturally had various ways to deal with it. Now some people started to toast and then got involved in relationships with each other. But everyone didn't know what Zhao Jin was going to do, and they also knew that the rules of the Zhao family army were new rules, so they didn't dare to do it. He acted rashly, so he could only sit there like this, the scene was awkward and quiet.

Zhao Jin didn't mean to liven up the atmosphere at all. From the morning to now, although he was just checking and watching, he was working hard all the time, and his stomach was empty. He just wanted to eat first before talking about it. Of course, Chen Sheng and the others were the same. Everyone in their table They were all voracious. Seeing them like this, the other tables started to eat. Everyone had a long time of luxury and had no shortage of food and wine. Although it was delicious food and wine, everyone was very restrained.

After Zhao Jin finished eating, he wiped his mouth, but stood up. Other people on the table stood up in panic. Zhao Jin reached out and signaled that there was no need, and spoke and said loudly: "Shandong will be mine in the future, the rules and regulations are It was naturally different before. First, all additional taxes and taxes were cancelled, fire consumption was cancelled, labor was cancelled, and grain tax was paid later, and grain, cotton and money could be passed through.

Hearing this, even though everyone was well educated at the banquet, he still couldn't help but exclaim. Zhao Jin's words were equivalent to sweeping away the heavy taxes and the evil policies of the Ming Dynasty. If it was just taxes under the court laws, the burden would be It's not too heavy, and life from top to bottom can be maintained, but this Liao salary plus other additional stakes and common fire consumption is equivalent to increasing the tax several times. The real way to cut off the skin will not give people a way out, except In addition to this tax, the people of the six prefectures in Shandong also have to bear heavy labor, raise horses, burn charcoal, and repair the canal transportation. These tasks take up a lot of time and also have to bear food and accommodation themselves. The people have no time to take care of their own fields. For many years, for many years, the people have no time to take care of their own fields. It is extremely painful, and this is actually the same as tying a few times the tax.

The most painful thing in the world is Shandong. Since the Yongle year, there have been various changes in Shandong, from the Buddha's mother Tang Sai'er to the recent incense-smelling Xu Hongru, these seem to be inciting cults, but in fact they are the people who are heavy about this. The resentment of burden is revealed.

The payment of grain tax, using grain, cotton and silver is based on the situation after the One Whip Law. After the One Whip Law, the imperial government only collected taxes and cash, while the private currency was seriously insufficient. As a result, the autumn grain harvest was When the price is not high, we can only sell more grain and pay taxes. When the spring is out of stock, there is no grain, and the price of grain is high. We can only buy high-priced grain with usury. The vicious cycle has led to the bankruptcy of the people and even the landlords, and their fields are all Being taken away by a larger powerful man, this change avoids exploitation caused by fluctuations in the price difference between food and money.

Zhao Jin's statements are all great acts of goodness. Although the powerful people here did not suffer much in the increase in taxes and taxes and used them to make a fortune, they still felt that this was good governance, because Shandong was extremely poor and the government had already

We started to attack them, but now all these have been cancelled. Without expenditure, we can earn more. As for the regrets that we cannot use this merger and accumulation, we cannot make any comments.

The Shandong gentry was doing, and there were smiles and ease on his face. No matter what, Zhao Jin showed this attitude to everyone relieved, and it still had to win people's hearts. At this time, everyone's expressions even showed a little proud, it turned out that

We still have to rely on us to manage our territory. It seems that Zhao Jin is just not good at speaking and still has a good understanding of the fundamental principles.

"No private checkpoints are allowed in every place. The tax liquor is handled by Xuzhou as a whole, and the Xuzhou State Taxation Administration will charge various new taxes."

Hearing this introduction, the gentry and tycoons who mainly engaged in industry and commerce frowned and cancelled various additional taxes, fire and labor service, tax lijin, etc., but did not cancel the commercial taxes, but only said that they would handle them in one go, and they would also have to be levied.

Tax is a choke on the neck of industrial and commercial trade. Why is Xuzhou's own industry and commerce prospering but not allowing development elsewhere? These policies are beneficial to landlords.

After Zhao Jin said a few words, he glanced at the people with different expressions and said with a smile: "Next, Xuzhou will investigate people in Shandong and Nanzhili Inspection, re-measure the land acres, survey the population, and then collect money and grain according to this

People.”

The atmosphere that had just been loose in the room suddenly changed and suddenly became silent. The gentry exchanged glances with each other, with anger, panic, and uneasiness on their faces, but no one spoke. In the end, everyone's eyes were focused again

Zhao Jin was just talking about this, but Zhao Jin sat down with a smile, not intending to explain at all.

If you want to make a family business passed down from generation to generation in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to being good at managing, robbing, and being ruthless, you must also have an official body and fame, without the care of the official, and no matter how much money you accumulate, you can accumulate.

The goods and household business is also the fish on the chopping board of the government. It is impossible to rely solely on force to protect one's domineering behavior. It is impossible to say when it will be treated as a bandit and will not be able to last for a long time.

If the official is in good fortune, according to the regular rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, there will be a share of land that can be exempted from taxes. Moreover, the officials and servants who are in good fortune dare not force the levy and increase the number of officials and servants. If the rules are in good fortune, there will be countless people who understand the rules.

Loops, since fame and fortune can be tax-free, then just do something about the accounting measurement. According to the rules, one hundred acres can be tax-free, and often there are actually 1,000 acres or even thousands of acres.

Those small households with few lands, and even landlords who do not have fame and fortune, are better than being levied and levied by officials and servants, and they should be more likely to surrender their own fields to these families protected by fame and fortune, and to harvest some of the families they are surrendered to.

It is much easier than paying imperial grain and national taxes, and the income will be much more. This is why even if a poor scholar immediately becomes a powerful man after passing the imperial examination, he does not need to do it himself, and the fields and goods from all directions gather.

And here, this is the so-called "dedication".
