When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 46 Where did he get the courage?

Under the exploitation and oppression of the imperial court, local aristocratic families, and powerful people, the people of Shu could no longer meet their own needs by farming alone, let alone the families around them.

So in their spare time from farming, they actively engaged in weaving, tea picking and other work.

But even if they squeezed out their leisure time to pursue side jobs, they still could not maintain their normal lives.

The silk and brocade in Shu are famous all over the world. After Zhao Guangyi came to the throne, he would not let go of such good products. The Song Dynasty government launched a policy called Bobuying in Shu.

That is to say, the trade of silk and brocade was turned into a government monopoly, and the people of Shu were required to hand over a certain amount to the government every year, and the quality must be guaranteed.

This is not over yet. In order to ensure profits, they also prohibit individual small farmers and small traders from selling silk brocade privately.

Finally, tea from Shu was also included in the government's monopoly.

Tea farmers in Shu paid a certain tax every year to grow tea, pick tea leaves, and sell tea leaves to the government.

These two policies are undoubtedly extremely harsh for the people of Shu. When everything becomes a restriction, making money is sanctioned, and even life cannot be guaranteed, no one can bear it anymore.

Song Dynasty, the first year of Kaibao.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Guangyi with a dark expression.He finally put down the rebellion and is busy winning over people's hearts. How about you, you have done so many good things!

You made some money, but are your regulations clear?

Is your supervision mechanism complete?
Can the people of Shu live a good life under these layers of rules?

If it doesn't work in the military aspect, forget it. In terms of government affairs, at least think more about it and discuss it with people before implementing it!
Otherwise, so many ministers are just doing it for a living! ——
qing dynasty.

When a minister saw this situation, he had already thought of many ways in which he could profit from it. But he knew it so clearly because it was so similar to some places in the Qing Dynasty!
[Many people in Shu are engaged in sideline businesses such as textiles and tea picking for their own livelihood. However, after the government banned private sales, they lost a large part of their income source. 】

[Although it can be sold to the government and officials, the officials obviously don't do it in a disciplined manner. They join forces with local aristocratic families to line their own pockets and maliciously suppress the price. 】

[However, the farmers had no possibility of resistance, so the prices kept falling. Many small vendors selling tea cloth also went bankrupt. The money earned from weaving and picking tea was decreasing day by day, but the food needed to be eaten every year was But it remains unchanged. 】

[At this time, the aristocratic families in Shu took the opportunity to raise the price of grain and sell it at a high price, forcing the unsustainable people to spend a large amount of savings to buy rice. Those without money could only sell themselves, or seek refuge with a landlord and become a sideline. household. 】

[Under the joint oppression of this group of officials and local powerful people, the local people were forced to desperate measures. 】

In the Song Dynasty, the fourth year of Chunhua.

At this time, Zhao Guangyi was aware of the source of the problem, but he was an emperor after all, so he still wanted to save face.

So he looked at the ministers he valued: "I think the gambling purchase needs to be strictly reviewed. The relevant regulations may be carefully considered, and small policies must be implemented in place. The supervisory agency must ensure that it is correct! In fact! No, you can postpone it. What do you think, dear ministers?" All the ministers knelt down and worshiped: "Your Majesty is wise."

In fact, Zhao Guangyi himself is not stupid. The reason why he set up a gambling business was not to exploit the people. He also wanted to win people's hearts, but he was used by the officials below to line their own pockets.

This made him very depressed: the military generals were arrogant and arrogant and did not obey orders, so they began to emphasize civility and suppress military force. But now the civil servants also relied on being favored and began to line their own pockets, and they did not care about the lives of the people!
This is not taking him seriously!

This made him have some thoughts about using military commanders:

This time, at least one army must be sent to supervise. If there are still those who are enriching their own pockets and taking advantage of others, they will be killed directly!

It can not only win over some people's hearts, but also scare some officials, a win-win situation! ——
Han Dynasty, early years.

Liu Bang was also shocked and his eyes were opened:
Where did he get the courage?

This is to force the people of Shu to rebel!
Originally, the peasant uprising was only a small scale and could be put down quickly. However, a gambling business involves all the peasants, small businessmen and hawkers. Thousands of households are affected to the point where they cannot survive. It would be strange not to rebel!
Except for a very small number of noble families, almost everyone is exploited!
At this time, the land of Shu must be in flames of war. Even if the Song Dynasty later suppressed it, it would be difficult for the land of Shu to be peaceful in a short time.

Han Dynasty, during the reign of Queen Gao.

Lu Fei shook her head when she looked at the situation in Miracle. What she saw was more than just the oppression of Bo Mao. Although it was indeed the trigger of countless wars, the original intention of this policy was good, but it was just criticized by some people. Utilization became the fuse that detonated the gunpowder.

Those people were the blocking tyrants who previously occupied [-]% or even less of Shu!

According to Miracle, the remaining households occupying 90.00% or more of Shu, even if they do not encounter gambling, will be forced to do so one day in the future due to other policies or natural or man-made disasters. The path of rebellion.

However, the next miracle shocked him a little.

[The Bo Maiwu and the side households combined are enough to make Shu land uneasy, but there is another reason that makes the disputes more intense. 】
-
Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan.

Hu Guogong Qin Shubao was already a little dumbfounded. Although he was a military general, he did not know how to be considerate of the people. Under the leadership of Li Shimin, he was also close to the people. He could not stand any of these bribes and interactions.

Not to mention that the people have to endure two serious situations combined, and now the miracle actually says there are other reasons!
Changsun Wuji on the side sighed: "Of course there are, and the most important thing is the court's taxes! This is unavoidable anywhere!"

[In the Song Dynasty, most of the land taxes and taxes were adopted from the policies of the Tang Dynasty, and were collected once in spring and autumn. 】

[But in fact, because of the developed textile and tea industries in Shu, many local people were required by the government to fold cloth and silk to avoid paying taxes. 】

[But here comes the question, how much bojin can the original tax money be converted into?How many tea leaves can be converted into?Then it is up to the government to have the final say. 】

Song Dynasty, Kaibao period.

Zhao Kuangyin felt that his good attitude had been exasperated by his good brother, but now, the tax situation in Miracle made him angry again. The good policies he had issued to be close to the people and love the people were used by the people below to exploit the people. Blood sucking policy!
