Emperor Liu Hong

() After the official system was completed, Liu Hong immediately called Liu Shu and asked him to see if there were any loopholes in the official system.

"Your Majesty, the official system you designed is relatively strict. As for your Majesty's diversion of conflicts and the introduction of people to participate in politics, I dare not comment, but I don't see anything wrong. But this official system is relatively harsh on officials. With the current treatment of officials..."

Although Liu Shu didn't say anything further, Liu Hong also knew what he was thinking.The official system is strict, and officials are basically unable to accept bribes.Officials without extra money, with the current treatment, certainly cannot meet their needs.

"Uncle Huang's concerns, I have also thought of it." After a pause, Liu Hong continued: "Officials are also human, and they also have the desire to live a good life. But if they can't even guarantee their own lives, how can they I still have the mind to govern the country. Therefore, I plan to improve the treatment for all officials once this official system is implemented."

"Your Majesty, it's a good thing that you raise the salaries of the officials. But your Majesty, how much does it need to be raised? If there is less, it is basically useless. But if it is too much, the treasury will definitely not be able to afford it!"

"Fuck, I just thought about how to reform and control, but I forgot that the treasury has no money." There is no money in the treasury, and Liu Hong is also a smart woman who can't live without rice. He sighed for a while, "Why don't you want to reform? It's too troublesome. Only one official system has been changed, and now it seems that a series of changes must be made!"

As soon as Liu Hong thought about it, his head immediately grew bigger.

In order to reform the control, it is necessary to improve the treatment of officials.To improve the treatment of officials, it is necessary to make the national treasury sufficient.But to make the national treasury sufficient, the current tax system will not work, and he will reform the tax system.And the current taxation almost refers to the agricultural tax.Therefore, in order to reform the tax system, we must first improve agriculture and complete land reform.And if you want to complete the land reform, you must first know how many people and how much land there were in the Han Dynasty.

"In my day, almost half of the population and land of the Great Han Dynasty were hidden by those aristocratic families. I want to clear out such land and population. It's no wonder those aristocratic families don't work hard." Now Liu Hong Incomparably entangled, "Should we reform or not?"

Liu Hong couldn't make up his mind, so he asked Liu Wei to help him out, "Uncle Emperor, if you want to have enough treasury, you must reform the tax system. Otherwise, the symptoms will not cure the root cause, even if it can be delayed for a while, it will be nothing in the end. But the tax system Reform will affect the whole body, I really can't make up my mind."

"What Your Majesty said, I have also thought about it. The current big man has reached the point where he can't do without change. But if he wants to change, it will touch the interests of too many people. Without great determination and courage, it cannot be accomplished. .”

"Oh, it's all nonsense, without any substance." Liu Hong was very clear about what Liu Shu said. "If there is no reform, the big man will go back to the old road in history. Even if it can be delayed for a while, judging from the current situation, various contradictions are already very prominent, and the change of dynasty will definitely not take long."

Thinking of this, Liu Hong's mind immediately appeared, the images of the kings of the last days in those film and television dramas.Those miserable scenes scared him into a cold war.

"However, if we want to reform, it will touch the fundamental interests of the current vested interests, the aristocratic family and the powerful, and they will definitely resist to the death. If one fails, it will be trivial if I am kicked out of the throne. If it is serious, My little life is finished."

Since Liu Shu couldn't help, it was useless for him to stay here. After Liu Hong sent him away, he thought about it.Just when Liu Hong couldn't make up his mind and couldn't make up his mind, Liu Fu came running.

"Your Majesty, the training of the soldiers in the Zhongyang Military Region has been completed. When will you go and have a look?"

"Oh, did you finish the training so quickly? The Zhongyang Military Region has a hundred thousand troops? Not only the original five schools of the Northern Army, the Imperial Army Tiger Ben, the Habayashi Army, and the armies of the generals who opened the government. So many people , how did you train so fast?"

"Your Majesty, what's so rare about this. There are tens of thousands of family soldiers in our mansion. I will disperse them all to various places to train the new army. The central yang military region has 2000 people, and they train dozens of people each, which is very easy. of."

After listening to Liu Fu's words, Liu Hong finally confirmed that the training of the central yang army was really completed.Now, Liu Hong has a bottom line in his heart.

"Liu Fu, you said that you have dispersed the soldiers of our family to various places. Does that mean that the troops of the other eight military regions are also well-trained?"

"Your Majesty, the other regiments are about the same. I just got the news that except for the three military regions of the West, Northwest, and Northeast, they are still conducting actual combat training. The other military regions have also finished their training."

After hearing this, Liu Hong was completely relieved.With hundreds of thousands of troops in hand, he has the confidence to do things.

"If you don't reform, you will be dead sooner or later. If you fight hard, maybe there is still a way to survive. Anyway, I have an army in hand, so I will first check the population and land of the big man, and see the reaction of the aristocratic family, and then make plans "

Liu Hong knew that if the population and land were checked, the aristocratic families and powerful families would definitely resist.To say that the imperial examination system he implemented touched their foundation.And if you want to implement land reform, there is not a big difference between directly killing them.

Which of these aristocratic families hides a large number of people and land, which are used to escape poll tax, land tax, etc., these taxes.

Although the aristocratic families have privileges, they don't have to pay taxes and don't have to bear labor.But these privileges are limited.For each level, there are detailed regulations on how many people and how many lands can be exempted.How could such a small number of people and land satisfy the appetites of those aristocratic families.So tax evasion is inevitable, and the bigger the family, the more they hide.

The reform is bound to touch the interests of some people, and Liu Hong is trying his best to avoid it now, hoping to implement a reform that can satisfy everyone.

But Liu Hong also knows that this idea is a bit nonsense, and the possibility of realization is infinitely close to zero.However, if you put in some thought, try to avoid touching the interests of those aristocratic families while reforming, it is not impossible.

"Anyway, if you can't afford conflicts, it's better not to be able to afford conflicts. The big guys have reached this point, and they really can't stand the toss."

So Liu Hong decided to pull out the troops he trained first to show off his muscles.I hope that during the reform, those families that are ready to move can be restrained.

For the military parade, Liu Hong feels that it is necessary to do this now.Even the power of the new army cannot deter everyone.However, as long as some of them can be deterred, it is not a small victory.
