Valley Emperor

Genius remember the address of this site in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! The main force of the King of the Tang Dynasty almost came out, it is inevitable to attract the attention of many people in the city, concerned about the success or failure of the army's trip , and the interesting thing is that the results expected by the people in the city for the victory or defeat of this battle are not the same.

Those who had their hearts on the Ming Dynasty, especially those gentry landlords and most of the upper class, most of them were eager for the disastrous defeat of the pseudo-Tang bandit army, and the official army returned to Shaoyang.

That way, they won't have to pay taxes in the future!

Ma Dan, this pseudo-Tang doesn't even give them any respect for these gentlemen, and dares to levy taxes on them. What kind of gentry pays taxes together. This kind of thing that competes with the people for profit is simply outrageous, and you have never heard of it in the Ming Dynasty. !

Of course, even in the upper class, not everyone expects the Great Tang Wang Shi to be defeated. Many people still expect the Great Tang Wang Shi to win. In this part, there are children in the family who are officials in the Tang Dynasty and People who benefited from a series of reforms in the Tang Dynasty.

For example, the Zhao family in Shaoyang, although they are grain merchants, they are also scholars who pride themselves on their scholarly family, and naturally they are also members of the upper class.

Now the Zhao family has become Datang's military food supplier, and because the Datang Dynasty supported the development of industry and commerce, it also vigorously introduced Huguang food into the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, which greatly reduced various tax barriers on trade routes and greatly reduced the cost of doing business. , and this also made the Zhao family a lot of profit.

In fact, there are many families like the Zhao family in every place under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and the longer the Tang Dynasty ruled, the more such families, because living under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, these gentry If the landlord class wanted to remain prosperous and wealthy, then it was inevitable that they had to accept the rule of the Tang Dynasty and thus had a close relationship with the Tang Dynasty.

And these businessmen and even gentry families with close ties to the Tang Dynasty, no matter whether they wanted it or not, but now that they are on the carriage of the Tang Dynasty, there is absolutely no reason for them to get off easily. Naturally, they are also looking forward to the King of the Tang Dynasty. The division can be victorious in consecutive battles, otherwise, if the Ming army counterattacks, their lives will not be guaranteed!

And this point is not very obvious in Shaoyang, but if it is in the Guangdong, Guangxi and Guizhou regions, especially in today's Guangdong region, it is more obvious.

Guangdong, as the current base of the Tang Dynasty, has implemented various policies very thoroughly. Under the guidance of the Tang Dynasty, many landlords and gentry have transferred funds from traditional industries such as land, and then invested them in industry and commerce, especially It is among the industries that have just emerged recently, and each and every one of them is full of money.

Why do these landlords and gentry put their money into industry and commerce? Naturally, it's not because they think Li Xuan is very good, and they are willing to listen to Li Xuan's words and put their money into industry and commerce, but because of various policies.

On the one hand, Datang implemented a strict land policy, the gentry paid taxes in one body, unified agricultural tax, rent-to-buy orders, and reclamation orders, which were specifically aimed at agriculture, allowed the Datang Dynasty to ease land acquisitions and won a large number of At the same time as farmers support, it also makes the benefits of those big landlords on the land not the same as before.

The land rent is lower than before, and now there is a tax to be paid. The output of this field is not as much as in previous years, but the landlord class also needs to eat, and also has to support the family and the young. Which of those big families does not have dozens of There are hundreds of people, raising such a large family, and it is still a lot of pressure every day!

If you are poor, you will change your mind. This sentence can also be used on these landlords and gentry.

What should I do if there is less output in the land?

Armed to resist taxes and resist the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, this is the most direct way, many people have done it, but in the end they all ended up being raided and annihilated, and the rest learned to be smart.

This can't be resisted, and the output in the land is less, then invest in other industries!

In this regard, the Tang Dynasty welcomed and even maintained a supportive attitude. There were a lot of preferential policies, and powerful people began to build large-scale factories or open large-scale commercial banks, and even joined the lucrative maritime trade.

Even if the strength is not good, they can open a small workshop or small shop, so as to obtain a lot of profits.

However, when more and more people participated in it, and they all tasted the sweetness, they naturally did not want the current pattern to change.

If you don’t want to change, then you naturally hope that the Tang Dynasty can win. Many people even think that when the King of the Tang Dynasty goes to Jiangnan, their own caravan will follow behind the army and seize the opportunity. market!

By that time, the money will not come rushing!

So now, the gentry, landlords, and businessmen who used to be opposed to the Tang Dynasty have actually become divided. Although many of them are still shouting like a fake Tang Dynasty and a bandit army, many people are also shouting. Datang, Master Wang.

And this can be seen from the increasing number of scholars who participate in the Datang Imperial Examination every year!

The ancient scholars were never a separate group, but representatives of a broad interest class!

If it is said that these upper-class groups under the rule of the Tang Dynasty were only differentiated, then the ordinary people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, especially the peasant group with the largest number, regardless of whether they were self-cultivators or tenants, then their support for the Tang Dynasty was not enough. beyond many people's expectations.

The series of agricultural policies of the Tang Dynasty naturally hit the medium and large landlords, but the small landlords and ordinary farmers were the beneficiaries.

The four policies of gentry paying grain, unified agricultural tax, settlement order, and rent-to-buy order, these four policies have brought real benefits to the middle and low-level peasants in society.

On the surface, the gentry pays taxes as one, which seems to have nothing to do with the peasants, but in fact it still reduces their burden, because if the gentry does not pay taxes, then the financial burden will be all on these peasants, and the tax they pay will be Much more than the current numbers.

The unified agricultural tax has been implemented, and there is no poll tax. What does this mean? This means that the tenant households under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the landless peasants, do not have to pay taxes!

The tenants do not even have land, so they are not the objects of agricultural tax!

This alone is enough for Datang to gain the support of countless landless farmers!

And even for those self-cultivators and small landlords, because of the unified collection of agricultural taxes, there are no various extortionate and miscellaneous taxes in the past, and their burdens have been greatly reduced.

In the past, the regular taxes they had to pay were not much, but the various exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes were numerous, and the burden was quite heavy. Now, although there are also a lot of agricultural taxes, compared with the past, it is still greatly reduced. big burden.

Reclamation orders are not bad. Reclamation of wasteland is tax-free. Many dynasties have done this kind of thing, and it is nothing.

But renting instead of buying is different. As long as the official land is rented for ten years, the land will become one's own. This kind of good thing is unheard of.

Many of the above policies also made many farmers under the Datang rule to support the Datang Dynasty almost from the heart.

why?

Because those village officials always tell them from time to time that if the smugglers come back, the official land that everyone has allocated will be gone, all kinds of extortionate taxes will come again, and the tenants will have to pay taxes again.

In this case, farmers use the simplest and most direct way to express their interests: join the army!

In all rural areas under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, the enthusiasm of the poor children to join the army is very high!

Of course, there are also factors such as joining the army and dividing fields, joining the army and eating enough!

Although Shaoyang said that it was not too long under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and it was in the period of military control for a long time in the early stage, and did not implement many internal policies under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, but even so, the people in Shaoyang city. Many ordinary people are still very concerned about the victory or defeat of the King of the Tang Dynasty.

They are looking forward to Master Wang being able to defeat the puppet army, and don't let the puppet army come back and take away their land!

Whether it is the gentry, landlords, businessmen who poured into industry and commerce, or those peasants~www.wuxiaspot.com~, they are actually the vested interests of the Tang Dynasty, and they naturally do not want the Tang Dynasty to fail!

Hao Bainian naturally has no intention to take care of the public opinion trends in Shaoyang City behind him. Today, affairs in Shaoyang City are handled by the Huguang Governor and a group of local officials appointed by Datang, and Hao Bainian's task is to take the First Army. Changsha.

Hao Bainian received another letter from Li Chunjing of the Second Army this morning!

Li Chunjing asked the First Army to arrive in Changsha before the 12th day of the first lunar month in the fourth year of Xuanping, and at the same time prevent the enemy of Hengyang from going north to Changsha!

And now it's the eve of the Spring Festival, and the Chinese New Year is twenty-eighth. If you count the time, it's only about half a month away from the appointed time. The journey from Shaoyang City to Changsha is more than 200 kilometers, which means that the army has to march for 20 every day. kilometers or more.

And this marching speed is quite challenging for an army of tens of thousands of people, especially when the road conditions on the way are not very good!

Although sometimes when the Datang Army was marching, there were extreme examples of rushing more than 30 kilometers a day, but this is basically just a one-day forced march. If it is to march continuously, before the First Infantry Division under the First Army In last year's autumn and winter campaign, we ran back and forth between Guiyang Prefecture and Hengyang, creating an extreme example of rushing 150 kilometers in five consecutive days, and it took half a day to defeat more than 3,000. Ming army.

This marching record is the highest record since the founding of the Datang Army, and it has not yet been broken.

Although some of the roads from Shaoyang to Changsha are official roads and the road conditions are relatively good, there are also some roads with average road conditions, and some roads are extremely poor.

Therefore, it is very difficult for the First Army to guarantee that it can walk 20 kilometers every day.
