Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

"call…"

It was not until the figures of the two princes slowly disappeared from the field of vision that the emperor slowly retracted his gaze and once again looked at the princes and princesses playing in the square in front of the palace.

Up to now, as far as his descendants are concerned, he naturally has no worries in the past. He is an upright man, he has eight princes, four princesses, and the succession of descendants is not a problem at all.

It can be predicted that in the future, his descendants will inevitably become more and more.

Perhaps with Daheng's conquest of the outside world, with the continuation of Daheng's national fortunes, and with the layout of his descendants in his expectation, his bloodline, the Li surname of Hengzhi, will spread all over the world, and even in this world. …

All kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind, but the emperor became more and more dazed. Are these what he wants?

The Son of Heaven's steadfast eyes were also rarely dimmed.

"Your Majesty, the tax account book is clear."

When the emperor's thoughts were flying, Wang Wu walked quickly and bowed to the emperor.

Under the influence of this voice, the emperor's thoughts also slowly returned to reality, he took the account book handed over by Wang Wu, and turned around and walked towards the hall.

Seeing this, Wang Wu also followed the emperor and walked into the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor walked into the side hall, and the **** on the side immediately stepped forward and took off the fox fur worn by the emperor. Another **** and the maid brought hot tea and a charcoal stove and placed them in front of the emperor.

As soon as he opened the playbook, the emperor seemed to remember something: "It's cold outside, send the princes and princesses back to the palace."

"This old slave is going."

Wang Wu immediately took the order and left.

The Son of Heaven's gaze was once again fixed on the tax summary book of Zhaowu's three years.

Although there were predictions, but after seeing the aggregated figures, the Son of Heaven's expression became much more solemn.

The third year of Zhaowu is undoubtedly a special year. Since the end of the second year of Zhaowu, a major taxation case has been launched. Up to now, it has not been completely closed. It is only a preliminary statistics. The number of people involved in this major taxation case is no less than one million. Of course, quite a few of them fled to Jiangnan after sensing the wind.

But despite this, the number of people involved in this major tax case is the largest in history when looking at the major cases of all the major dynasties in ancient and modern times!

Of course, although the number of people involved in the case is unprecedented, and the number of people convicted is rare in history, the number of people who are actually killed is very small.

Most of the arrested persons involved in the case, as long as they are not guilty of heinous crimes, will end up in exile in Liaodong at most.

After all, the ultimate purpose of this major taxation case is not to trace taxes, or even to trace taxes, it is just an incidental result in the process of accomplishing the final goal.

The real ultimate goal of the taxation case is to attack the local gentry and landlords, destroy the traditional order in various places, and provide assistance for the establishment of a new order.

The blow of the traditional order in various places will undoubtedly affect the taxation of the imperial court.

In the third year of Zhaowu, the total tax revenue of Daheng was only 12.32 million shi, which was more than 2 million shi less than in the second year of Zhaowu, which was full of wars!

In terms of silver, compared with the second year of Zhaowu, it has increased, from more than 9.3 million taels in the second year of Zhaowu to 12,680,000 taels!

Watching the total amount of tax money and grain for a long time, the emperor let out a long sigh. Obviously, this total amount of tax money and grain fully proves the special form of Daheng in the third year of Zhaowu.

Looking around, the specific tax figures came into view, and the eyes were finally fixed on the two special places of Liaodong and Ningbo Ship Division.

Daheng's tax reform was officially implemented in August of the third year of Zhaowu. Up to now, it will obviously take some time before it is fully implemented. Therefore, the overall reform of taxation changes in the three years of Zhaowu's tax revenue. up, it doesn't matter.

However, Liaodong and Ningbo Shipping Division, the two pioneering places for reform, did indeed reflect the advantages after the reform.

In Liaodong, the total tax revenue of Zhaowu for three years, grain: 2,320,000 shi, silver: 1,980,000 taels.

With a population of less than one million, it contributed one-sixth of Daheng's total tax!

And Ningbo Shipping Division, Zhaowu's three-year total tariff revenue is as high as 2,930,000 taels!

Looking at the tax revenue from these two places, the emperor was also rarely happy, but soon, when he saw the expenditure figures below, the happy expression between the emperor's demeanor disappeared instantly.

In the three years of Zhaowu's three years, the disaster relief cost 412 stone and 2,650,000 taels of silver. The disaster relief grain alone accounted for one third of the total tax grain!

According to his instructions, disaster relief has always been a work-for-work relief, that is, organizing disaster victims in various places, or repairing roads, repairing city defenses, or organizing wasteland...

If there is excess land, it is more like Liaodong, allocating land, giving rations, and allocating agricultural tools.

This is also the reason why the disaster relief also consumed more than two million taels of silver!

In a country, the food consumed for disaster relief accounts for one-third of the total annual tax revenue, which is obviously a very dangerous figure.

After all, for a country ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ disaster relief should be only a very isolated situation, not like the current Daheng. More relief!

The emperor put down this book of accounts and said solemnly: "Go, get the collection of natural disasters from all over this year!"

The **** immediately trotted to the main hall, picked up a book from the emperor's desk, trotted back, and handed it to the emperor.

Looking at the shocking disaster reports, the emperor's expression became more and more solemn.

Although he had a general idea of ​​the current natural disasters, when the details of the disasters of the year were summed up together, the emperor couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

In the third year of Zhaowu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Sichuan provinces, almost half of the north, were under the influence of drought!

The only difference is the severity of the drought.

But... the emperor has also struggled at the bottom, so how could he not know that in this era, whether the drought is severe or not does not make much difference.

In this era, there is no perfect water conservancy system like the later generations, and the crops of this era are not as good as those in the later generations, coupled with the high tenancy and fixed small-scale peasant economy.

Under such circumstances, the ordinary people of this era have no ability to withstand natural disasters... or in other words, they have no ability to resist natural disasters at all!

A slight natural disaster is a scene where crops are not harvested or even failed to harvest crops.

These two situations, no matter which one, must be undoubtedly disaster relief!

If not, it must have evolved from disaster victims, into refugees, or into civil chaos!

And as far as he knows, the impact of this little ice age on the climate is far from reaching its peak, and the end of it is still a long way off!
