Chapter 182 What Chuxiong Sees and Heard

The reform of Beijun is unstoppable. Although the spring has not come yet, the reform announcement of Beijun has been posted all over the cities under the jurisdiction of Beijun, and there are troops from Beijun opening the way.

When the common people heard that Beijun became the country, they were all very happy, which meant that Beiwang officially took over Beijun.

But soon the common people became unhappy, because it was rumored that Beiwang wanted to take all the land in Beijun back to Beiwang Mansion, and the people in Beijun only had the right to use, not ownership.

Land is the lifeblood of most common people. If you take back the land all at once, how can the common people rest assured.

The common people went to the place where the notice was posted and listened carefully to the explanation of the reform measures by the Jin Yiwei soldiers who read out the reform measures.

In order to let the people of Beijun understand the benefits of taking back the land use rights, Lu Chen mobilized most of the army in Beijun.

Except for the Black Cavalry and Artillery Battalion, soldiers from Jin Yiwei and Beijun were all mobilized.

This reform is very important to Beijun and Lu Chen. Lu Chen is not trying to build a world where everyone is equal. He is preparing for the industrial development of Beijun.

As a modern traveler, Lu Chen is very aware of the importance of land. If the problem of land annexation is not resolved, a dynasty will not last long, and land annexation will seriously affect future industrial development.

For example, if you want to build a road, if it is private land, you need to spend a lot of money to compensate others, but it is different now.

It is legally stipulated that all the land in the Northern Kingdom belongs to the Northern King. In the future, the Northern King's Mansion will build roads, and no one will be able to stop it. No one will dare to talk about the land where the Northern King's Mansion develops any industries.

Yancheng.

Today's Yancheng gate is the same as a few days ago, full of people, under the control of Beijun soldiers, only one main road leading to the city is left.

If it were not for the control of Beijun soldiers, the main road into the city might be blocked by the common people.

At this time, a white-haired old man came to the gate of the city. He originally came to Yancheng in a carriage, but seeing so many people surrounded by the gate of Yancheng, the old man also became very interested, so he let his carriage enter the city. , He came to the bulletin board at the gate of the city alone to watch the excitement.

At this time, a brocade guard in black and red clothes stood on the table next to the notice board with a notice and read aloud: "Under the sky, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the minister of the king, from now on, The ownership of the land in Beijun belongs to the prince legally, and no one is allowed to sell the land ownership..."

After hearing Jin Yiwei's words, Chu Xiong's heart trembled.

What a great spirit!
It was the first time he heard the phrase "Under the Putian, could it be the land of the king, and on the shore of the land, could it be the minister of the king."

He originally thought that Emperor Xia was radical enough. After all, Emperor Xia had always been thinking about getting rid of the family, but he didn't expect that his grandson was even more radical than Emperor Xia. This was to take back all the land and then completely cut off the family. root ah.

Although there is no big aristocratic family in Beijun yet, with the Northern King's set of rules, the possibility of an ancient aristocratic family like Daxia's being born in the future is almost zero.

At this time, Chu Xiong's expression was a bit ugly, and his inner emotions were extremely complicated. He had always supported his grandson to be the emperor, but he never thought that his grandson would be more cruel to the aristocratic family.

If Emperor Xia stepped down and his grandson came to power instead, his grandson would probably want to get rid of the ancient family even more than Emperor Xia.

Chu Xiong couldn't help thinking, could it be that he was really wrong?

Was it the right choice for the Chu family to seek refuge with the Eighth Prince?

Anyway, the eighth prince is on the side of the Jiangnan family. After the eighth prince takes power, there is a high probability that there will not be too many conflicts with the ancient family. At that time, the ancient family and the eighth prince will still rule the world together.

But his grandson is different. Judging from these policies of his grandson, it is obvious that he is to prevent land annexation and to prevent the formation of a large family in Beijun.

Without land, an aristocratic family is like a fish without water, which cannot survive for a few days.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiong sighed inwardly.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Chu Xiong still decided to meet his grandson.

After all, he is related to him by blood, and he even called him grandpa when he was young.

At this time, the crowd became restless, and a commoner shouted loudly: "How can the prince do this? If we take back all the land, how can we ordinary people survive!"

As soon as the words came out, the crowd immediately became loud and noisy.

"That's right! Those lands were reclaimed by ourselves, so why should they return to the Northern Prince's Mansion!"

"The prince is too domineering! I will never hand over my land."

"Whoever wants my land, I will fight with my life!"

……

Facing the angry common people, the Jinyiwei soldiers had a very calm expression on their faces. They have been publicizing for several days, and the common people reacted like this at the beginning, and they are used to it.

At this time, the Jinyiwei soldier said: "From the day when Daxia was founded, the land of Daxia has belonged to His Majesty the Emperor. Now the emperor has entrusted Beijun to the King of Beijun. The land of Beijun should belong to the prince. Someone is selling land at random."

"The land you originally owned is still yours to use. The prince has no intention of taking back your right to use it."

"And the prince said that from now on, all agricultural taxes will be exempted, and you will receive as much grain as you plant in the future!"

"Not only that, the Beiwang Mansion will also distribute seeds of high-yield grain crops in the coming year. I believe you have heard that the Beiwang Mansion has grains that can produce several thousand catties per mu. It only takes this year, and everyone present will no longer have to Worried about starving and freezing."

When Jin Yiwei said that all agricultural taxes would be exempted, the common people immediately became extremely excited.

"Really? The prince really wants to exempt all agricultural taxes?"

"Is this policy permanent?"

"The prince is not lying to us, is he?"

"Where are we going to get the food seeds from Beiwang Mansion?"

……

For a while, there was a lot of noise at the gate of Yancheng.

Chu Xiong squeezed out of the crowd alone, watching the excited common people from a distance.

He found it incredible that the policy of exempting all agricultural taxes was so radical that it was no less than legally stipulating that land ownership should belong to the Northern King.

Is this his grandson's own idea, or the meaning of Emperor Xia?
As a traditional emperor, Emperor Xia hated the ancient family extremely, but he would not think of the policy of exempting all agricultural taxes.

The agricultural tax is an important source of income for the national treasury. If the Daxia Dynasty did not have the agricultural tax, the Daxia Dynasty might not even be able to afford the salaries of officials.

At first, Chu Xiong was thinking about whether his grandson might really be Emperor Xia's pawn, but when this policy came out, he instantly felt that his grandson had nothing to do with Emperor Xia.

The policy of exempting agricultural tax will have a very bad impact on other places in Daxia. In the future, when ordinary people see that Beijun has exempted agricultural tax, they will definitely think that they are all from Daxia, and Beijun is exempt from agricultural tax. What they don't exempt from farm tax.

This will cause turmoil in Daxia, and if things go on like this, there will inevitably be dissatisfaction among the common people, so Emperor Xia will not allow this kind of policy to appear in Daxia.

At this time, Chu Xiong was full of questions, and he felt that he might only be able to solve those doubts in his heart after seeing his grandson.

Then he stopped staying and walked directly towards the city gate.

At this moment, a gorgeously decorated carriage passed by Chuxiong, a gust of wind blew, and the curtain of the carriage was blown open, Chu Xiong just looked at the carriage, and also happened to see the woman inside the carriage.

He didn't know who the woman in the carriage was, but he instantly judged from her aura that the woman was a master.

After the carriage passed by him, Chu Xiong frowned looking at the picture behind the carriage.

"Xuanyue Palace? Could it be that the woman in the car is the owner of Xuanyue Palace?"

"It seems that the situation in North County is more chaotic than I imagined."
