Chapter 478

Even the ministers who personally presided over the reform may not be clear about what happened in the second year of Chai Rong's ascension to the throne and the first year of Jianlong's reign.

Only Ye Hua can use his thousand years of experience to see through the true essence of this stunning change.

First of all, the purge was carried out in the name of cracking down on powerful and evil gentry... As Fan Gao and the other three reported, almost all the gentry who could survive the Five Dynasties were inferior gentry and no good gentry.

It is impossible to expect them to discover with conscience, maintain the right path, and take care of the people. The so-called local genius, if the roots of the roots are broken and they are not virtuous, how can they entrust the countryside to them?

So Chai Rong decisively used the embroidered envoy to wipe out all the evil gentry in the capital, Hebei and other places... Of course, there will be unjust in this place. The embroidered envoy is not all good things, but it has been thoroughly cleaned up.

Ye Hua dares to say that he has gone backwards, and the changes of dynasties have not been cleaner than the Great Zhou Dynasty. Of course, he cannot go backwards, because he completely eliminated the landlords, and the size and degree of the two are different.

But after this cleaning, the bullies that had been pressing on the people disappeared, and those debts that were so heavy that they could not pay for several lifetimes were completely freed due to the disappearance of the evil gentry.

The land that was once unevenly distributed was basically divided by villages because of this action.

By the way, because the reallocation of land and the elimination of evil gentry greatly mobilized the civilian forces, the militia and people from all over the country took action and cooperated with the embroidered envoys and the official army to suppress the bandits that had always existed.

This is something that even the strong Han and the prosperous Tang dynasties could not be done.

No matter which court, it can hold a strong army and sweep across foreign lands, but it cannot eliminate the thieves hiding in the mountains and waters. There is no way, and the people of the court cannot find them at all, let alone eliminate them.

But this time, the local people are willing to contribute because they get their own land relatively fairly.

If the officials and the people cooperate and take action together, they will naturally be invincible.

The stubborn bandits were cleaned up, and the remaining little thieves took off their skin, put down their weapons, carried their hoes again, and became self-supporting farmers.

It can be said that the land of Yanzhao, which has been many heroes and bandits since ancient times, has become clean for the first time, like a baby.

We gallop along the official road, with flat farmland on both sides. People either cultivate, dig rivers and canals, dig water and irrigate... In short, there is a busy scene everywhere.

If you run out for a few days on a horse, you will feel like you are not moving. Because wherever you go, there are busy people and neatly divided fields... This is still spring. If the crops on both sides grow in summer, it will be even more different.

Behind the neatness and strictness, it represents a strong mobilization ability and the court has penetrated its power into areas that it once could not be involved!

The Great Zhou is still the same Great Zhou, but the interior has become completely different!

...

The most direct change brought about by the drastic changes in rural areas is that taxation has become easier.

The once complicated land taxes and taxes were combined into one and spread into the land. Now the common people only need to be responsible for two things, one is about 30% of the land taxes, and the other is about a month of corvee service every year.

Since they obtained the land and the taxes were fair, the people were willing to work. Zhao Pu had already handed over the strategy of rectifying the Yellow River and began to implement it only when the farming season was slack.

Re-excavate the river channel and lead the Yellow River water to the north into the sea.

A bomb hanging above the heads of Kaifeng monarchs and ministers was also removed.

The Sansi has estimated that the annual income in the first year of Jianlong should be about doubled.

The treasury has money, and many things can be implemented.

The local government system was reformed, the Jiedushi abolished, the establishment of strategic pacification envoys and governors, the abolished army and established counties, and the magistrates were added to the prefectures and counties, and they were appointed as assistants, and they divided their power.

Establish a censor to be responsible for the administration of officials in every way and supervise all officials.

At the same time, embroidered embroidered envoys who made great contributions were also valued. All regions arranged for embroidered envoys to be stationed to supervise the people's sentiments. They could report to the emperor directly without going through the Political Affairs Hall.

...

Too many changes occurred in the spring of the first year of Jianlong, so many that it was so dazzling that it was too late to resist.

The so-called authorities are confused and bystanders are Qing, and Fan Zhi serves as the left-behind city in Yecheng. He is in Hebei, staring at the court and Hebei, barely having a sense of the changes!

Mr. Fan held his hands behind his back and stared at the old tree in front of him, sighing: "I really didn't expect that he could break the shackles of thousands of years and change the days. It's amazing! Now, even I have to say admiration! The saint is decisive, brave and extraordinary. Ye Hua's boy is also unfathomable. He spent five or six years, making a little bit of layout, and the seemingly useless chess pieces that seemed idle and useless at the time played a role this time. With this pair of kings and ministers, I really don't know what they can't do!"

Fan Gao stood behind his uncle honestly, his face full of pride, and he couldn't help but say: "The Marquis compiled textbooks, cultivated our ability to calculate, taught us how to do things, and even asked the soldiers to lead us to practice in the wild to strengthen our bodies. We didn't understand his intentions before, until this time, we all knew that every request of the Marquis was far-sighted and good intentions! I was completely convinced!"

Fan Zhi smiled meaningfully, yes, Ye Hua prepared too many things, Dazhou Academy, the Champions League, literate soldiers, instructors, merchants, craftsmen... The so-called accumulation of strength and iron rods make him successful!

"Are you going to Beijing?"

"That's right!" Fan Gao said: "This time, Hebei has captured more than 3,000 evil gentry, and more than 50,000 people have been implicated and imprisoned. About 20 million mu of land have been re-divided. Millions of farmers have obtained enough land and all have begun to work hard. These days, I have to go to clear the land during the day, and write a summary of my experience at night, and prepare to present it to the emperor to explain the changes in Hebei clearly."

Fan Zhi looked at his nephew. His face was thinner, his cheekbones were protruding, and his eyes were big and red, and he couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

"You go to Beijing. It won't take long before my uncle will come to Beijing too!"

"What?"

Fan Gao almost called out, and he was surprised and couldn't help asking: "Uncle, is the saint going to re-activate you?"

When Fan Gao saw Fan Zhi nodding, he was simply stupid.

At the beginning, Fan Zhi couldn't come up with a solution and wanted to use Chai Shouli to thank the world, but ended up being distracted and was driven out of the capital.

The so-called accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger. Fan Zhi forced Chai Rong to be an unfilial person, which was indeed a taboo. He did not lose his head, but was demoted from the capital, which was already considered lucky.

It's really unexpected that it can be re-activated!

"Uncle, I haven't heard of anyone writing to the letter anymore. Who advised you that Your Majesty agreed to use your uncle?" Fan Gao was very curious because in his impression, there were not many people with this prestige, and the first choice was the champion Marquis. Could it be that the Marquis helped him again?

If this is true, the image of the Marquis will be much taller!

Fan Zhi smiled and shook his head, "It's really not Ye Hua, I'm a person I can't even guess!"

...

After ten days of sight, Fan Zhi finally set off, left Yecheng, and headed towards the capital.

Xianggong Fan turned over. This time he went to Beijing, he was a light car and only brought a dozen people. However, as soon as he left the city, he encountered a huge team of hundreds of people, which was so mighty and domineering that he was much more majestic than him.

The leader of this team is nothing else, but the Taifu Chai Shouli!

"Hahaha, what a coincidence, Mr. Fan, would you like to take me to Beijing with you?"

Fan Zhi quickly jumped out of the carriage and bowed to salute, "The Grand Tutor is above, and the subordinate is polite."

Chai Shouli was not young, but his legs were quite flexible. He took the lead and walked over to Fan Zhi, reaching out and holding Mr. Fan.

"You are a pillar of the court, I am just an idle savage, how can you ask you to salute me!" Chai Shouli smiled and said, "I happen to have something. Will Mr. Fan take the same car with me? Let's discuss it carefully?"

"I can't ask for anything!"

Fan Zhi took a step and wanted to get on Chai Shouli's car.

Taifu Chai was successful in his business and was willing to spend money. The carriage was wide and large, luxurious and comfortable, so he naturally got on his car. But as soon as Fan Zhi took two steps, Chai Shouli grabbed him.

"Mr. Fan, it's better to be your car, and I will follow the guests!"

Fan Zhi took a breath, and he could clearly feel that Chai Shouli was very different from before, and he could even be said to be reborn! I don’t know if someone taught him or his prodigal son turned back?

Fan Zhi did not dare to neglect, so he could only ask Chai Shouli to get on the car.

The two of them went south and chatted all the way.

This chat was even more unimpressive. What Chai Shouli talked about surprised Fan Zhi. This guy is really not Wu Xia Ameng!

Under Ye Hua's guidance, Chai Shouli went to Youzhou to invest. Their Chai family was originally a big businessman, and after Ye Hua's guidance, they did business again. Chai Shouli's knowledge was naturally different from the past.

"Mr. Fan, the local officials have changed. Although the original people were not good, they were all fat ducks, but now they have replaced them with empty-bellied ducks... The local fields are divided, and there is no oil to catch for the time being. Officials will not be hungry. They will attack merchants and workshops."

Fan Zhi nodded, "What the Taifu said is very true, but although my Great Zhou values ​​agriculture, it does not suppress Shang. You can rest assured that the Taifu!"

Chai Shouli shook his head repeatedly, "Mr. Fan, I am so old. If I only care about my own business, I would be too petty. To say so, the reason why I still do business is to truly experience what the merchants think and the difficulties they encounter. I will tell Your Majesty these things to be true, which is why I have done my best for this country!"

"Ouch!"

Fan Zhi couldn't help but bow deeply, "The Taifu's insights are so wonderful and practical, which is really admirable."

Chai Shouli laughed, "Don't put gild on my face. In the past, I was confused and didn't know if I was used, so I almost ruined the country and misled the big things... Fortunately, I met my mentor and he taught me a lot! If the industry and commerce develop well, it will still be able to strengthen the country, which is more useful than farming!"

Chai Shouli pulled Fan Zhi and chatted all the way.

He put forward the most important requirement for Lao Fan, which is to rectify the administration of officials and manage all officials well, especially local officials, to prevent them from making money everywhere and destroying the business environment.

Fan Zhi listened to all these suggestions. When he entered the capital, the two separated. Chai Shouli led a huge convoy and did not return to his home, so he came to Ye's mansion directly.

When he arrived at the Ye family, he was like he had arrived at his own house, and he was not at all seen.

He greeted his subordinates and brought gifts from the car. After a while, the Ye family's yard was filled with it.

"Master, these are all good things. I got a car with ginseng alone, as well as deer antlers and sea dog kidneys, all of which are good things to nourish. How about it, I didn't take it in vain, isn't it?"

Ye Huashang gave him a big roll of eyes. Grandma, I'm still a single dog. If you give me these things, it is obvious that I'm making a mistake!

It's really hateful!

Ye Hua really wanted to beat Chai Shouli, but he saw that his beard was gray and dusty, so he became soft-hearted. Forget it, give Chen Shi the things, that kid can use it!

"It's really impressive that you can push Fan Zhi out without grudges!"

Chai Shouli said humbly: "Master, I was indeed wrong before. Lao Fan was also implicated by me. It is worth it to let him recover! But can he be able to suppress corrupt officials?"
