The so-called eight discussions include discussing reasons, discussing merits, discussing virtues, discussing nobles, etc.

Essentially, it opens a back door for powerful people to reduce their crimes.

The so-called five punishments are whipping, rod, imprisonment, exile and death.

In more detail, punishments include execution, beheading, exile in remote areas, censure, relocation, and tattooing.

Needless to say, the family property was confiscated. Even the memorial tablets of ancestors were not allowed to be enshrined in the ancestral hall.

Regarding this memorial, Li Yunze only crossed out Qu Zong Temple because it was not necessary.

All other treatments are allowed.

The famous Xu Huating passed away almost overnight.

All of their family's land was taken back to the Imperial Mansion and distributed to the original tenants of the Xu family.

In the past, the Xu family did not pay taxes on these acres of land, but it did not provide much benefit to the tenants. At most, they could barely survive starvation.

Now that Li Yunze collects taxes, he has left enough balance for the tenants so that they can live better.

In fact, the land tax in Ming Dynasty was not very high.

The reason why the world was destroyed because of the land tax was simply because most of the land did not pay taxes, and they also used all their hands to force those who paid the land tax to have their families destroyed.

When Chongzhen carried his belt and went up to Meishan Mountain, he didn't even understand why he had only increased his land tax by a small amount and turned the whole world into rebellion.

Because he increased it according to the total number, but after increasing the income tenfold and a hundredfold, it all fell on the heads of the common people who only had a small amount of land.

Chongzhen couldn't understand it, but Li Yunze understood it very well.

To deal with these big landowners, any gentle means are nonsense. Only an iron-blooded sweep is the only way out.

Zhou Daodeng, who was full of hope, waited for two days but still did not receive the reward promised by Li Yunze.

After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately took Yang Ai to ask for an audience.

"What do you want from me?"

"Long live." Zhou Daodeng saluted respectfully. "Long live working tirelessly for the people of the country, and there is no one around to serve."

He motioned to Yang Ai, who was bowing his head and saluting, "There is a maid named Yang Ai in my family. She is willing to follow Long Live and serve the Holy Master."

"Yang Ai."

Li Yunze, who had returned to the modern world in the past few days and specifically checked Zhou Daodeng's information, smiled and asked in detail, "Have you ever known Xin Jiaxuan's 'I see how charming the green mountains are, and I know how charming the green hills should be when they see me'."
