The newly reformed land tax system did not directly rob money from the Western Regions landlords and gentry class, but gave them a way to disperse their property.

This undoubtedly made the youngest sons of the gentry and relatives of the side house happy and waited for the head of the family to share the land!

This is a law promulgated by the Central Court of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to oppose it, there is only one way to rebel. If you want to rebel, you must first consider whether you can beat Richard's field corps and auxiliary corps. Finally, you must face Richard's Dao Soldiers and the undead skeleton soldiers!

Thinking about such a terrifying military force, the unwilling landlords and gentry classes could only swallow this tone. The land is still in the hands of the family. Although dividing the land into the names of other children and relatives will inevitably lead to the dispersion of family property. This generation of family heads may be able to rely on personal prestige to maintain the cohesion of the entire family when they are alive, but what if this generation of family heads grow old?

The landlords and gentry class were all people who had read books, so it was impossible to see this. Could it be that a single family rule could restrict the little bastards below?

Don’t forget that after dispersing the land, the legal benefits of the land were endorsed by the Ming Dynasty!

Moreover, once the land is divided, it is even more impossible for the family to think about rebellion. Without the Ming Dynasty, the sons who are not the eldest son of the direct line will never get the big head, and the relatives outside will never want to gain the benefits of the master's family!

The reason why the gentry and landlord class has a huge influence on local energy is not that the number of people in the main family is the support of the side branches. However, Richard's decree has helped these families to the brink of division!

People are all greedy. Originally, the clans of the side branches were willing to obey the interests of the master, because they needed to rely on the master for dinner, but now...

As for rebelling against the Ming Dynasty, such a brain-losing thing is not something scholars like to do, not to mention that the current Western Regions landlords and gentry class is no longer as good as before. Not to mention that the servants and guards have been reorganized into local garrison corps, the most powerful landlords have been washed away!

To put it bluntly, even if you want to rebel, it is difficult to find a powerful landlord armed force with enough power to lead many gentry.

The central court's forces appeared within the garrison army, which relied most on the local gentry class. The gentry class could no longer fully control the garrison army. In addition, there were central troops stationed in the local area for a long time. In the end, except for a few landlords who were unwilling to open their eyes and be confused, inciting the rebellion of Seminary serfs. After being quickly suppressed, the landlords and gentry class in the Western Regions had to compromise with Richard again...

This compromise completely disintegrated the cohesion of the local gentry class. In order to avoid the increasing high land tax, the gentry family began to share land property and avoid taxes. This name changed, and the master's voice became much weaker invisibly. In addition, the strength of the Central Army of the Ming Dynasty, the municipal committee's momentum was far less powerful than before!

After suppressing the rebellious landlords who dared to emerge, Richard began to deepen the tentacles of reform into the local garrison garrison corps that were originally controlled by the local gentry class when the landlords rebelled!

This does not mean that Richard banned the privilege of the gentry class to enjoy the local garrison army for free. This privilege can effectively promote internal commerce in the Western Regions and increase the commercial tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty, so Richard naturally would not recover it.

After all, there are too many green skins in the wilderness area in this world. Without armed personnel escorting them, the caravan would not dare to go to the wilderness alone to fight for his life.

The way Richard reached for the local garrison corps was very simple. In the name of training the local garrison corps, he began to conduct strict training and assessments on the local garrison corps.

The soldiers of the local garrison army were guarded by the gentry class, and the combat quality of the soldiers was naturally unexplained. They were almost all heroes who had fought with green-skinned orcs, and had received basic military training.

But the quality of the middle and lower-level officers of the local garrison army is very worrying. The children of the gentry class come in to enjoy happiness and power, and they are not here to endure hardships.

In the circle of middle and low-level officers in local garrison corps, there is a very common phenomenon. Almost every small officer has one to two deputy, who are responsible for the daily training and management of the army. As for the serious gentry and officers, they rarely accompany the big-headed soldiers in the barracks to endure hardships. It is normal that they will not see each other in the barracks for a few days...

If it weren't for the servants and soldiers of the local garrison army, it would not have any combat effectiveness at all.

Therefore, an assessment team of the central court came down and took the lives of these gentry and officers who occupied the pit and did not shit.

Everyone knows the level of theirs. From personal combat effectiveness to the ability to manage the army, there is no one that meets the standards of military personnel, and even the minimum standards are far from meeting the minimum standards!

Originally, the municipal committee controlled the local garrison army, so naturally no one would raise objections. However, now the gentry class in the municipal committee has been weakened again and again and has long been suppressed by the central court, and the local government's power in the local area has also surpassed the municipal committee.

Coupled with Richard's special targeting, the good days for the gentry and officers in the garrison army where he lost his protective umbrella were over.

After several months of major assessment and training, the middle and low-level officers of the local garrison corps who were the children of gentry were eliminated by 80%!

Most of the remaining 20% ​​were also the benefits of Richard's gentry families who took the initiative to sell well to the central court and contributed a lot to suppressing the armed rebellion of landlords.

If it weren't for the relief of this aspect, 99% of the gentry and officers would have been eliminated!

Richard's release was to deeply and thoroughly divide the local gentry and landlord class, and the proportion of 20% of the gentry's children could no longer shake the central government's control of this local garrison army transformed from the gentry and landlords' family members.

Interestingly, a large number of gentry-children of local garrison corps were eliminated, adding to many grassroots officers from poor backgrounds and finally the central court's grassroots officers, Richard immediately cut his knife on the municipal committee!

The local tax share obtained by the municipal committee is too high, and the local garrison corps must not continue to be supported by local tyrants like the municipal committee!

Otherwise, it will deteriorate sooner or later over time!

In order to cut off the mess quickly, Richard directly banned all the local tax allocations of the municipal committee, turning the municipal committee into a department that purely participates in politics and makes suggestions for self-exchange of local gentry classes...
