After solving the problem of the Wanggong Factory explosion, Zhu Youxiao ordered local governments to welcome the summer harvest. Since this year was the beginning of the implementation of the new version of agricultural tax, he sent Jinyiwei and Dongchang to control the collection of land taxes in various places.&1t;/p>

After the implementation of the new version of agricultural tax, it means that no powerful people in the new policy area can evade agricultural tax, and no people can no longer exempt agricultural tax by offering scholars.&1t;/p>

Since the new version of the agricultural tax was promulgated, the surrendered scholars and powerful people all repent. There have been many disputes over land deeds in the government because the land deeds used for the deeds are basically white.&1t;/p>

The government will not recognize these vacancies.&1t;/p>

After several months of measurement of arable land, the tax amount was determined. After Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he could not reverse the problem of commodity economy, so he further fueled the commodity economy. After six years of ascending the throne, the commodity economy in the new policy area has been relatively achieved, and a large number of workers have appeared in the towns, and the degree of commercialization of agricultural products has been greatly improved. At the same time, because of the use of paper money and copper coins, the amount of currency in the market has increased. There is no problem of currency tightening, so the normal grain purchase price can be guaranteed during the summer and autumn harvests. Therefore, the agricultural tax is now directly levied money, which is also relatively reliable in the new policy area.&1t;/p>

People with less than 30 acres of land now do not have to pay their talents. Therefore, the new version of agricultural tax has received support from a large number of agricultural producers. Although they do not have much voice or public opinion in society, their support for the emperor is from the bottom of their hearts.&1t;/p>

In contrast, the powerful and scholars became a little reactionary. However, the northern region was different from the south. The gentry family here was not strong enough, and the powerful and nobles now had no power. The military power was first highly concentrated by the emperor, and the administrative side was controlled by the Han imperial party. Therefore, although the powerful and nobles were a little reactionary, they did not dare to reveal it.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the morale of the military and civilians in the new policy areas has been boosted. Therefore, those powerful and nobles and gentry are not in a state of climate in the new policy areas and are completely unable to resist the implementation of the new version of agricultural tax.&1t;/p>

Small-scale farmers with less than 30 acres do not have to pay land taxes, which means that agricultural tax will decline. However, in the environment of rising commercialization, these small-scale farmers with money will naturally consume something. Money will always be spent, and the market is state-owned capital wealth︽1oding︽1o point︽1o small︽1o said,.2⊕3.∞o&1t;    s="arn:2p    o     2p    o">&1t;srp    p="/aasrp">s_();&1t;/srp>&1t;/> The group has a large monopoly, which is equivalent to these lost agricultural taxes, which can reflow wealth back to the hands of the court by stimulating economic demand.&1t;/p>

And those powerful people who own a lot of land either set up agricultural companies, sell land, or bear high agricultural taxes.&1t;/p>

If an agricultural company is established, the model of hiring tenants is more feasible. If you rely on your own management and organize production, you can make profits. That is also their ability. If they play a positive role, the court will naturally not deal with them.&1t;/p>

Those who do not establish agricultural companies and want to collect tenant rent at home with their feet on their feet, such good things are gone forever under the new agricultural water system. If they do not sell land, the annual agricultural tax collection will make them vomit blood.&1t;/p>

Therefore, after the new version of agricultural water was promulgated, many powerful and nobles began to sell blood and sell their lands constantly. Some simply merged them into some agricultural companies to obtain shares and began to adopt new agricultural production organization methods.&1t;/p>

The new version of agricultural tax actually made the government's agricultural tax collection easier because it no longer recognized the vacancies. There is no loophole among the people. In addition, most small farmers no longer have to pay talents, and the large, medium and small landlords and agricultural companies that need to pay taxes in each prefecture and county.&1t;/p>

Both landlords and agricultural companies are relatively powerful, so there is no longer any problem of Cui Ke forcing the people to rebel. If those large, medium and small landlords and agricultural companies cannot pay taxes, the government will no longer have to use any violent methods. Cui Ke will be owed land tax for three years and just take the land off for auction. The money sold is paid off, and the extra money will be returned. The land tax arrears will be increased at 5% of the annual interest rate.&1t;/p>

If you encounter a natural disaster, you can apply for tax exemption from the local prefecture and county government. After the application is passed, the court will send someone to check and then exempt the land tax from the year of the disaster.&1t;/p>

As for corvee service, the small peasant producers not only do not have to pay land taxes, but also do not have to go to corvee service. It can be said that there is no burden, and there is only one responsibility for compulsory military service. This is also the obligation of young people. The court will be responsible for food and clothing during the service.&1t;/p>

Such a system is more processed and fair, and has been supported by the majority of farmers.&1t;/p>

To implement such a system in the first year, we must naturally be strictly enforced so that many disguised rules will not arise during the implementation process.&1t;/p>

Summer harvest progressed very smoothly, and taxation was successfully implemented with the cooperation of administrations at all levels.&1t;/p>

In terms of summer harvest in the sixth year of Tianqi, the Liaodong region first had a bumper harvest, and more than 5,300 mu of arable land were harvested. At the same time, hundreds of millions of arable land north of Liaodong also planted spring wheat, soybeans, corn and other crops in spring. Because the black soil in the northeast is very fertile, these wheat, soybeans and corn are growing well.&1t;/p>

After these crops are harvested, the supply of commercial grain can be greatly increased. This means that the court can release more money and organize more people to build various infrastructure.&1t;/p>

Roads in the Northeast are also being built everywhere, and the imperial court has made every effort to ensure the funds. In addition to the central government's allocation, there are also bank loans.&1t;/p>

At the same time, mining has also been developing rapidly, especially coal mining. Coal mining is an important link to ensure people's heating in winter. In addition, large areas of private houses have also begun to be built under bank loans. After these private houses are built, it means that ordinary people can better withstand the severe cold in winter.&1t;/p>

People can still survive in very low temperature environments, even nomadic peoples, as long as there is a supply of houses and fuel in winter.&1t;/p>

The summer harvest in the Guanlin area has changed a lot, with some areas being bumper, while others being hit by disasters. The overall situation is still good, especially in the Northern Zhili area, which has achieved another bumper harvest due to the improvement of water conservancy facilities.&1t;/p>

Just when Zhu Youxiao began to celebrate the successful completion of the summer harvest, a magnitude seven-magnitude earthquake affected the four provinces of Northern Zhili, Shanxi, Shandong and Henan.&1t;/p>

Among them, Lingqiu County, Shanxi Province has been shaking for more than a month, and it shook dozens of times. The whole city collapsed, and no one of the officials and civilians had survived. More than 5,200 residents were killed. Countless merchants were coming and going, and the water gushed in the dry well was dark.&1t;/p>

The Datong Prefecture belongs to all the people, starting from the northwest and going southeast. The sound is like thunder, shaking the city tower and the city wall for 28 years. In Hunyuan Prefecture and other places, the city shook the mountains and shook the sound like thunder, which shook many large walls and the four official walls. Weizhou, Guangchang, and Longping were shocked like thunder, the city walls were decayed, countless officials and civilians were destroyed, many people were crushed to death, and the ground was cracked and water surged.&1t;/p>

On that day, the capital, Tianjin three guards and Xuanda all shook dozens of times, and the deaths and injuries were even worse.&1t;/p>

The earthquake affected Xiangyuan, Shouyang, Wuxiang, Pingdingzhou, Shanxi Province, Shanyin, Guangling, and Yushe.&1t;/p>

The capital Shuntian Prefecture Dacheng, Jizhou, Wen'an, Hejian Prefecture Renqiu, Xian County, Jiaohe, Nanpi, Jingzhou, Guxian, Ningjin, Cangzhou, Baoding Prefecture Qizhou, Suning, Shulu, Wuyi, Rongcheng, Xiong County, Zhending Prefecture Pingshan, Xinle, Gaoyi, Longping, Jinzhou, Xin'an, Guangping Prefecture Quzhou, Handan, Yongnian, Shexian, Jize.&1t;/p>

Licheng, Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province, Wudingzhou (now Huimin), Yangxin, Shanghe (now Jiyang), Dezhou, Pingyuan, Dongchang Prefecture, Caozhou, Yanzhou Prefecture, Qufu, and one prefecture and six counties in Henan Province, totaling more than 60 prefectures and counties in four provinces.&1t;/p>

When the earthquake occurred, the disaster memorials from all over the country arrived at the capital like snowflakes. Then Zhu Youxiao felt a clear tremor in the middle of the night.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao summoned the ministers overnight, and then quickly mobilized the Central Army to go to the earthquake area to rescue disaster relief, and transferred grain and other materials from the disaster-stricken areas, and ordered the officials of all affected areas to do a good job in epidemic prevention.&1t;/p>

A few days later, the disaster became increasingly serious, which made Zhu Youxiao feel a little bit waxed. The scale of this disaster was really big.&1t;/p>

"How are the casualties and injuries of people everywhere?" Zhu Youxiao asked his ministers when he was in court.&1t;/p>

Shen Qing replied: "Report to Your Majesty, the people have suffered great casualties, especially the Tianjin Industrial Zone was affected by the earthquake, and hundreds of factories collapsed, causing heavy losses."&1t;/p>

"Mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized and let administrative units at all levels make every effort to rescue the disaster." Zhu Youxiao naturally had no other way in the face of such natural disasters, so he could only make efforts in disaster relief.&1t;/p>

The earthquake affected the area a bit big. The power of the magnitude 7 earthquake is obviously not that simple. Aftershocks occur almost every day.&1t;/p>

The economy of Beizhili was also affected by this earthquake, and a large area of ​​factory buildings in Tianjin Industrial Zone collapsed. Fortunately, the Tianjin Industrial Zone is mainly light industry, so it is relatively easy to recover.&1t;/p>

With the full efforts of the court to rescue the disaster, a large number of officers and soldiers were dispatched urgently, and materials were continuously transported to the affected areas. The people in the affected areas were still well rescued. At the same time, a large number of officers and soldiers were dispatched, and some people were successfully rescued in the ruins.&1t;/p>

The public opinion media also conducted a comprehensive report on the earthquake relief campaign, and the court's active disaster relief campaign was recognized by the people.&1t;/p>

For the affected areas, the imperial court allocated funds to help the people carry out post-disaster reconstruction after the disaster relief, or immigrated some people to other areas.&1t;/p>

Not long after, Fujian reported that there was a drought in Fujian and that many people in many places had no place to live. Zhu Youxiao only had to put out the fires and ordered disaster relief again.&1t;/p>

The disaster relief in Fujian is relatively simple, mainly immigrants. Taiwan, Luzon, Jawa and Borneo are all good places for immigrants.&1t;/p>

In history, Zheng Zhilong defeated Fujian soldiers by invading this drought. At this time, Zheng Zhilong's pirates were already hiding on the islands in the South China Sea like a stray dog, and the navy was conducting a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of these pirates. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
