Emperor Liu Hong

() Liu Hong is very proud now, a monument was unveiled, and a public sacrifice at the Hero Pavilion, plus military medals and money rewards.This is both honor and material, and he has completely won the hearts of all the soldiers.

After the prisoner offering ceremony was over, Liu Hong was at leisure.The government affairs are all handled by Prime Minister Liu Shu, and the military affairs are all in charge of the Military Aircraft Department. He is only responsible for having fun all day long, and he doesn't need to worry about it at all.

But God just didn't want Liu Hong to be so idle. He hadn't been idle for a few days, and the people he sent out to investigate Ryukyu, Taiwan, and Jiaozhou came back.

This is a serious matter, Liu Hong did not dare to neglect, and immediately summoned everyone.

"My dear friends, what is the result of the investigation? Is it suitable for living and immigration?"

Although Liu Hong knows that these places and future generations are very prosperous, but in his heart, he still really has no idea what is going on at this time.

"Your Majesty, that place is so good, so suitable for living and immigrating." The leader of these people, while presenting his prepared report to Liu Hong, said to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty I have never seen such a fertile land when I grew up so big. I asked the local natives, they didn't know how to cultivate at all, they just scattered the seeds on the ground indiscriminately, and then waited for the harvest. That's it, They can all have a good harvest.”

Hearing this, Liu Hong was completely relieved.Liu Hong asked people to pass the report to the prime minister, and asked him to speed up the preparations for immigration, and wait for the medicine to be developed.Immediately immigrate.

Not long after the reporter left, Zhang Zhongjing, Minister of the Ministry of Health, came.He reported to Liu Hong that through the joint efforts of him and Hua Tuo, drugs to prevent miasma and treat acclimatization had been developed.

"Today is really a good day, and the good news is one after another. Now that the anti-miasma and the treatment of acclimatization have been successfully developed. In addition, I made toilet water to repel mosquitoes and immigrated to these places, then it will definitely not be a problem."

"No, I forgot the boat. If there is no boat, unless people can swim across. Otherwise, they will never reach Ryukyu and Taiwan."

Thinking of this question, Liu Hong hurriedly sent someone to the shipyard to ask.How are the ships he arranged for?

The people sent by Liu Hong went there as quickly as they came back.It didn't take long to get approval, and the shipyard had already built many ships.And it won't take much time, and a large number of ships will be completed, which will definitely not affect Liu Hong's immigration.

Things have been prepared for so long, now that the preparations are complete, of course he has to immigrate.However, while immigrating, he still has two reforms to complete.This is the most important land reform and agricultural tax reform among all reforms.

These are two hard bones, and they will definitely not be easy to chew.For agricultural tax, Liu Hong wants to implement the tax rate per mu, and the government and gentry pay taxes together.As for the land reform, Liu Hong will use extremely preferential policies to relocate the people to the southern islands and Jiaozhou.This is definitely considered to be poaching the meat of the family. If they can accept it calmly, it will be a strange thing.

"Your Majesty, you have to think about it. There is no turning back when we start the bow. Once we start, we can't turn back."

"Uncle Huang, do you think I have any other choice now?"

Hearing Liu Hong's words, Liu Shu let out a long sigh.At this stage, of course he knew that Liu Hong was also forced to do so.

There are so many powerful families in the big man, and they occupy so much land, but they don't pay any taxes.The poor people, who have no land at all, have to pay a lot of taxes such as poll tax.After the common people can't survive, it's strange if they don't rebel.Therefore, if Liu Hong wants to keep the throne and the country of this great man, this unreasonable rule must be changed.

"Your Majesty, since you have made up your mind, I will stop persuading you. However, I feel that these aristocratic families will definitely not just let it go. Your Majesty, please make preparations."

What Liu Shu said, Liu Hong has already considered it.No one is willing to give up their own interests, so those aristocratic families will definitely make trouble for him.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong sighed.He kept thinking, if he could completely exempt the agricultural tax like the later generations, and even get subsidies for growing grain.In that case, his reform will definitely not encounter any resistance, and even everyone will fully support him.

"But now, I really don't have that condition. If I really exempt the agricultural tax, the imperial court will go bankrupt immediately." Liu Hong kept thinking, "Although it is impossible to exempt all of them, it is feasible to exempt a little bit. In this way If this is the case, it will not only benefit the ordinary people, but also reduce the grievances of the aristocratic family to some extent. Let this reform go smoothly."

Liu Hong didn't have much confidence in this idea, so he asked Liu Shu: "Uncle Huang, tell me, if all the people of the big man are exempted from taxation of a certain amount of land. Will those aristocratic families benefit from it? You can not disturb me."

"Your Majesty, unless you exempt all taxes, the effect will not be great. But in this case, you will definitely win the support of ordinary people."

Liu Hong also knew that this idea was a little naive, but he still wanted to try it, so he said: "Uncle Emperor, let the world know. As long as you are a big man, each person can enjoy the tax exemption of ten acres of land. Although I don't know this rule, Can it reduce the grievances of the aristocratic family? But I know that those ordinary people at the bottom will definitely get a lot of benefits."

"The tax-free share of ten acres can almost free all the lowest-level people, those who own land, from taxation. Such regulations are definitely a great kindness to them."

Liu Hong agreed with Liu Shu's words.But I don't know how useful this is to the people's great kindness and to the aristocratic family.

The tax reduction and exemption of ten acres per person, coupled with the preferential treatment of tax exemption for shihejue, aristocratic families can also enjoy a lot of preferential treatment.But compared to the past, when they didn't pay any taxes, this little discount is nothing.Therefore, Liu Hong and Liu Shu basically gave up hope that this policy would move the aristocratic family.

In fact, these tax exemptions add up to a lot.This is mainly from aristocratic families who occupy too much land, so these benefits are not taken seriously by them.If ordinary people got so many discounts, they would definitely be able to confess to Liu Hong.

Regardless of whether the aristocratic family can understand Liu Hong's "hard work", this reform must be implemented.And the next step, Liu Hong is going to lure the people to immigrate on a large scale.

"Your Majesty, since you want to lure, the conditions you offer must be enough to tempt the common people. Otherwise, no one will follow along."
