Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth serious

Zhao Xu's edict was issued for more than ten consecutive times.

These edicts are all major policies and have few specific contents, and are the major framework of the "Shaosheng New Deal".

These are some outline content, without specific policies and details.

After the chanting of Chenpi was finished, Zhao Xu said: "Please introduce to you the specific content, direction, methods and goals of the 'Shaosheng New Policy'."

Zhang Dun raised his scepter, bowed to Zhao Xu, and then turned to the court officials. His already serious face was even more serious and could not be more serious. He said loudly: "Dear colleagues, the 'Shaosheng New Policy' formulated by the court has three main aspects. The first is reform. It includes the court, the army, the local government, the law, the rules and regulations, etc. Second, it is a reform around the land, named the 'Equal Field Law', which is self-evident, covering population, land, households, etc. I believe that your colleagues have known it. Third, it focuses on taxes, involving grain tax, commercial tax, salt, iron and many miscellaneous taxes."

"The main purpose of reform is to curb the people in our dynasty's indulgence, corruption and enjoyment, and so that the country's government is corrupt and the people live in poverty. Therefore, reforming the system, clarifying responsibilities and power, and replacing illusions with pragmatism is the original intention of reform. Please believe that the court has no intention of oppressing scholars and plundering property."

"Farm, land is the foundation of my Song Dynasty. The households, taxes, and gentry involved in land are all key points. Therefore, we must make up our minds to scrape the bones to cure the poison, seek benefits and avoid harm, and eliminate stubborn diseases..."

"Taxes and taxes are the pillars of our Song Dynasty. They are extremely important. No matter how you discuss it, it is not an exaggeration. Therefore, a reasonable, healthy and long-term tax system. Tax reductions for farmers, adjustments for merchants, and other tax types should be exempted and reduced..."

Zhang Dun held up the scepter, faced the court officials with a serious expression, and spoke concisely about the reform plan formulated by the Political Affairs Hall.

What he said was relatively general. In fact, the senior officials of the court basically knew about various reform policies. These plans have been working back and forth for nearly two years!

Today, in front of the Zichen Hall, the officials and ministers announced in public that looking at the history of the Song Dynasty, there is no more grand occasion than this.

The court officials were all wearing the most formal official uniforms and holding scepters. Almost everyone looked serious, thinking about every word that Zhang Dun said.

Zhang Dun's words are all written in a naive way, and they do not come out at will. There must be some real thoughts hidden in them, which are unaware of in normal times.

Zhang Dun continued to speak, his eyes bright and his tone clear.

"The court reorganized the 'three provinces and six ministries' in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and adjusted according to the current conditions. It still needs to be further promoted and refined. For local governments, the court imagined that the prefectures and counties should be established at the three levels, with one governor, one governor, one governor, one governor, two subordinates and two supervisors were appointed to assist them. The governor of the line, one governor, responsible for daily military affairs, and the commander of the prefectures and counties to ensure the stability of the line..."

"For the land, the imperial court is clearing the land, registering households, and finding out the situation of the land and households in the Song Dynasty. By purchasing land, reclaiming wasteland, releasing imperial fields, etc., within five years, we will strive for more than 70% of the farmers, and the farmer will have the land and have surplus in the year..."

...

Zhang Dun was not fast or slow, and said some ideas, methods and goals of the "Shaosheng New Deal".

The court officials gradually had their own expressions, lowered their heads slightly, and hid their expressions.

Every scholar, who has great ambitions after entering the officialdom or shortly after entering the officialdom, looks forward to making great achievements, strengthening the country and the people, and making achievements, and is famous in history.

But in the officialdom for two or three years, few people still remember their original intentions, and they are floating and floating in the officialdom.

Most people have thought about what Zhang Dun said. The reality is cruel, because in their opinion, this is impossible. It is the "Datong World", which is in the mouth of the saints and their dreams.

Now, the "New Party" represented by Zhang Dun is committed to realizing these "delusions". Without the original passion, they are more aware of the difficulties and the consequences they have brought.

They want to stop Zhang Dun and the "New Party"!

Many people lowered their heads and their faces were covered in blue.

Wen Yanbo, Su Shi and others silently held the scepter.

There was nothing on Wen Yanbo's face, but the white hair on his temples was trembling slightly in Zhao Xu's eyes.

Su Shi showed a struggle and looked uncomfortable, as if he had something to say, but he tried to endure it.

There are still many people who are ready to move, their eyes flashing, and they look at each other left and right.

No one dares to emerge!

It is obvious that Zhang Dun's previous preparations worked and all the unstable factors were warned.

Zhao Xu looked at each and thought.

Today is the beginning, the easiest moment, and the beginning of the most difficult moment.

It can be clearly foreseen that the imperial court's palace had not yet left, and the voices of opposition would inevitably pour into Bianjing City like a tide.

At the same time, fierce local opposition will increase even more, and I don’t know how many chaos will occur.

'As long as the army is firmly in hand, with the foundation of the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, it is enough to withstand a major impact...'

Zhao Xu looked calm and thought silently in his heart.

He was prepared to deal with the worst, and the army and government affairs were both the first and the most forceful hand!

After more than half an hour, Zhang Dun's voice became a little hoarse at the end of his speech.

"Reporting to the official family, this is roughly the case, the ministers have a hasty teachings."

After Zhang Dun finished speaking, he held the scepter and turned to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu nodded and said with a smile: "What the Qing family said is reasonable and well-founded. You guys, do you have any ideas? You can ask your grandfather in person for advice. I have been trapped in the palace for a long time and have never been out of Bianjing City. I really want to hear the different ideas of your Qing family."

The court officials held up the scepter and swept the lights around, but no one dared to speak.

Zhao Xu glanced at Zhang Dun, and the great husband's methods and control were increasing day by day.

He smiled quietly, looked at Zhang Feng and said, "Shu Xiang, talk about military reform."

Zhang Dun retreated, and Zhang Shi responded to the words and saluted Zhao Xu first, and then faced the court officials.

Zhang Dun and Zhang Dun are cousins, and their faces are somewhat similar. The difference is that Zhang Dun always has a serious expression and is serious. Zhang Dun is weathered and has a strong face.

Zhang Feng looked at the courtiers who were staring at him, and said in a low voice: "Under the 'Shaosheng New Policy', the 'Military Reform' is currently divided into two directions. One is to reform the military system, follow the Han and Tang Dynasties, strengthen the army, and build our elite soldiers and generals of the Song Dynasty. Second, we should cut the army and balance all aspects with the most reasonable number of soldiers and expenditures."

"The reform system includes the name of the army, salary, garrison, grade, awards, pensions, etc. The Privy Council and the Ministry of War discussed that the number of soldiers in our Song Dynasty was within 500,000. There were three major camps and thirteen armies temporarily, and the three major camps guarded the capital, and the thirteen armies were stationed in the area, suppressing and shocking the little ones..."
