Chapter 1047: Enthronement
Chapter 1047 Enthronement
Cao Ang's strategy was really good, causing civil strife in Luoyang, and then they took the opportunity to break in.
This is a very good strategy. The big problem is that Cao Cao and the others will reduce taxes.
And their biggest source of tax revenue is farmers' tax.
If these taxes are not needed, what will Cao Cao and the others do?
Like Zhang Yu, take back all the landlord's land and distribute it to the people?
Zhang Yu's method obviously won't work for them.
"This is really a big problem." Cao Cao rubbed his head, and they didn't have much time. It was three days after Zhang Yu ascended the throne, but they only received the news at this time, half a day had passed.
Cao Cao decided to expand the meeting and called several advisers.
After listening to Cao Ang's analysis, several people felt that Cao Ang's analysis made sense.
Once Zhang Yu is fully activated, they will appear very passive.
Cheng Yu said: "My lord, as long as we can defend the Poyang Lake area, it will be enough for our food supply, but there will be a big financial gap."
At this time, Cao Cao couldn't help thinking of Xun Yu. If Xun Yu was there, he could solve many problems in terms of internal affairs.
Cao Cao said: "Reduce taxes, and send people to strictly enforce them. If there are aristocratic families, if someone raises taxes without authorization, we will resolutely suppress them."
There is no way, there is no harm if there is no comparison. If they don't do this, when Zhang Yu kills, then I don't know how many people will become Zhang Yu's internal support.
At that time, the foundation of popular support will be gone, how can they persist for a long time.
Everyone can see Cao Cao's helplessness, financial strength is not at the same level.
"Master, in this way, we must develop business, otherwise, we will have no money to fight." Man Pang said.
Although I don't know how much, but at least half of the land controlled by the aristocratic family, if these lands are not taxed and the landlords are allowed to collect taxes, then they will lose a lot of income.
But Xu You said: "Meng De, other lands are taxed at 2.5%, and the land of the aristocratic family must also be taxed at 10%. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to insist."
"But there are other ways, or let the aristocratic family withdraw part of the land." Cao Cao said.
The current situation is that the land belongs to the aristocratic family, and the aristocratic family leases the land to farmers for farming, and then the aristocratic family asks for 30% of the land rent, and then pays 20% or 30% of the tax to the government.
Then what the people get is very limited.
And Zhang Yu directly collected the total tax, no matter who collected the tax, the farmers could only pay 25% of the tax in the end.
There is no problem with Zhang Yu. His land was taken back and distributed to the people. The people paid 2.5% of the tax and the family still had a lot of food left over.
And the other princes can't do it.
"Issuing a government order, those who are willing to contribute land will be given preferential treatment. Of course, those who do not contribute land will be fine, but we must have internal policies to secretly restrict them." Cao Cao said.
There is no penalty for those who do not contribute land, but they will definitely be treated differently. If some preferential treatment is not given, the government will not seek them to cooperate.
At the same time, they will secretly investigate them, and if they break the law, they will be fined.
This was the result of Cao Cao's discussion, but it was a long-term matter, and Cao Cao didn't even let Cao Ang touch it.
I don't know how many aristocratic families will be offended by this. Cao Ang is his successor, and he wants to find a scapegoat.
As for this person, Cao Cao finally chose Cao Xiu.
Cao Xiu's reputation has already been ruined by Zhang Yu, so what if it gets worse.
Then, Cao Cao and the others began to send a large number of people to promote this policy.
More importantly, it is also promoted in areas such as Luoyang and Chang'an.
This publicity is tantamount to boosting Zhang Yu's reputation.
With Zhang Yu's imperial edict, even Cao Cao has to cooperate, as if Zhang Yu is really the king of the whole world.
Cao Cao was also helpless.
Cao Cao passively develops business and promotes business development, and they can only follow Zhang Yu's many policies.
Zhang Yu didn't know that Cao Cao had made so many deployments.
At this time, he was ready for the enthronement ceremony.
Zhang Yu's ascension to the throne is definitely a big event.
Two days before ascension to the throne, there were so many people in Xinbeiping that all the hotels were still full.
The streets are even more bustling.
The day before he ascended the throne, Zhang Yu wore a dragon robe and followed him through a lot of exercises.
Qin and Han wore crowns on their heads, but Zhang Yu was abolished directly. Wearing that thing was too troublesome.
The day before he took the throne, Zhang Yu was busy, and so were all the officials.
The defenders in the city are arranged all over the streets.
When a new day comes, when the sun rises and everything wakes up, Zhang Yu gets up to practice martial arts.
Despite his imminent accession to the throne, he maintained his good manners.
Baiguan also wore the official mansion to the city lord's mansion.
At the beginning of his enthronement, Zhang Yu also invited dozens of civil representatives to watch the ceremony.
The enthronement ceremony was not complicated by Zhang Yu, it was just a formality.
After some procedures, all the officials saluted.
"When I established the Great Tang Dynasty, wherever I went, the world would be at peace and the people would live in peace. Since I was ordered by the heavens, I should practice benevolent government."
"Today, the world is amnesty, the people reduce taxes, and the whole world celebrates..."
Zhang Yu sat on the dragon chair and began to issue a series of policies.
Amnesty and tax reduction are the key points, and Zhang Yu stamped it on the spot with the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.
Zhang Yu's difference is that there is no canonization of queen and prince, which is also the result of Zhang Yu's discussion with the cabinet.
Following the example of later generations, Zhang Yu kept the imperial decree on who to pass the throne to in the cabinet, and no one could move it.
In this way, the competition for the throne is avoided, and at the same time the position of the prince is also very difficult to do.
In other words, as long as the emperor is a strong person, none of the princes will end well, so it is better not to have a prince.
Then Zhang Yu canonized hundreds of officials and confirmed the cabinet and ministries.
At the same time, Zhang Yu divided the provinces, which were not divided in the country, but divided the overseas regions into provinces.
But the difference is that Yizhou was officially renamed Taiwan Province by Zhang Yu.
At the same time, the Fusang area was also divided into more than a dozen provinces by Zhang Yu.
This is dismembering them.
There are more in the southeast region, and I don't know how many provinces are divided.
When Zhang Yu proclaimed himself emperor, everyone expected him to, and every policy was decided.
Afterwards, Zhang Yu led all the officials to the altar to sacrifice to heaven.
Worshiping the heavens is a must, and many common people participate in the offerings.
The whole city was in joy, and I don't know how many people celebrated it.
The intelligence agencies are also in action. They have identified many people and are keeping a close eye on them.
Several groups who wanted to set fire and disrupt the enthronement ceremony were all wiped out by the intelligence department.
However, there are still many people who have not moved, and the intelligence department does not move them, just staring, waiting to adjust the big fish.
These are the little things, the tax cuts are the big things.
When Zhang Yu came to the throne, the whole world knew about Zhang Yu's tax cuts, and he reduced the taxes on all the princes' territories.
