The more chaotic the south becomes, the more peaceful the north becomes. When winter passes and spring comes, the spring plowing in the land of Great China begins.
The season of the year begins again with spring. The hope of the year also begins with spring. All the people in the land of Great China are busy shouting on the earth, and everyone is smiling.
Tang Ao has already issued a decree through the Government Affairs Council, and people only need to pay land tax for farming. Other than that, there are no other fees.
This kind of reform has long been applied in other parts of Dahua, but this is the first time that it has been applied nationwide. For example, when Emperor Qianwen was in the past, agricultural taxes were very heavy. Not only did the central government collect taxes, but also local governments They know how to cleverly create names. In this way, even if the people are very industrious and hard-working, there will still be very few in their hands when the harvest comes. In some places, when they encounter greedy officials, they will plant the land for a year. , it sometimes happens that you end up owing rent.
The emergence of the Dragon Newspaper has put an end to such things. Tang Ao has long had a decree that any people in any place, no matter who encounters unfair treatment, can go to the nearest Dragon Newspaper branch to file a complaint. After investigation and verification, , will be posted on the dragon newspaper and announced to the world.
Tang Ao also stipulated that newspaper staff must receive complaints from people free of charge. If they dare to neglect, even use means to suppress, or join forces with local officials, once discovered, the three tribes will be punished.
Tang Ao is not a person who likes killing, and sometimes he is even disgusted with it. But he knows that some things will not be effective without extreme means. And for those who are no longer human, why should we deal with them? What kind of kindness and truth does he talk about?
With this decree and after it was published in the Dragon News, the news was immediately spread to the people all over the world. Finally, someone was backing the ordinary people and making the decision. The people were naturally happy, and those officials were I have become much more honest.
Originally, Tang Ao implemented the policy of high salary, support and integrity. Officials were already very high in terms of remuneration and salary. Even if they were not greedy, they could live a good life. But now there are people supervising them. It is really It's not worth risking your life for a little money.
In addition, the Supervisory Minister Ji Jinkai’s subordinates are located in almost all the state capitals of Dahua. Especially these people are very good at disguising themselves. Sometimes they are old farmers, sometimes they are shop assistants, and sometimes they are just walking around the streets. The salesman.
The supervision of these people is so ubiquitous that even officials can't tell whether they are with them or not. In this case, no one dares to take the initiative to reach out.
Under the dragnet, the thought that they would be caught if they stretched out their hands lingered on the heads of the officials, which played an absolutely effective supervisory role. For a time, the political clarity of the country was clear, and after the people were treated fairly, everyone was in trouble. I have enough strength and work hard for my own happy life.
Compared with the prosperity of Dahua, the land under the rule of Qiande Emperor Tang Jia was in chaos.
Tang Jia only cared about eating, drinking and having fun every day, and did not care about the life and death of the people under his rule. His most trusted minister Kong Fu was even more corrupt.
The above is all like this, and those below naturally follow the same example. In this way, there is no reason for the officials below not to be corrupt. It is true that high officials are corrupt, and small officials are corrupt, putting the lives of the people in dire straits.
The land under the rule of Emperor Tang Yi of Qian'an was better, but it was just because the battle had just been defeated and the country's foundation was damaged. With a weak foundation, even though Tang Yi had worked very hard, he was unable to provide a good policy like Dahua. As a result, the land he ruled was just barely surviving.
The eyes of the common people are sharp. When the things published in the Dragon News reached their ears, many people took action and rushed towards Dahua, the land of hope. Once they had the chance, they rushed to the border of Dahua every day. This place will accommodate many people, sometimes thousands of people will be accommodated in a day, and often one village after another will flee here.
Under this situation, Dahua's strength continues to grow, and the common people who come here, as long as they are young and strong, will soon be attracted by the extremely high treatment of the army. Military registration points across China were overcrowded, and the number of reserve troops increased by 300,000 in just three months.
When all this was reported to Tang Ao's ears, let him understand the words "people's aspiration"
Hui's understanding deepened.
When a country has people, it can cultivate more wasteland. When there are more people, the consumption power will naturally increase. In this way, both food and business are trapped in a virtuous cycle.
In addition, Tang Ao encouraged the Chinese people to buy and sell foreign slaves and added loans. Some brave people borrowed money from the country and used it to buy a lot of foreign slaves and drove them to farm. There are actually many more manors among the people, and the number of people who are suddenly rich is increasing day by day.
When people have money and food, they will naturally have to pay more taxes, and the national treasury will become full. And with money, they can strengthen the army, then occupy new territories, lay down more land, and capture more people. Many slaves.
All of this has made Dahua grow like a snowball. At this time, Tang Ao doesn't even need to do anything, the people will push him forward and forward.
Dahua became more and more powerful. After the spring plowing, Tang Ao, who had returned to the palace in Daliang City, couldn't help but start looking for the next target. With money and soldiers, Tang Ao's ambitions naturally grew. The bigger.
...
Tucheng.
Located in the westernmost part of Dahua Kingdom, it is still four hundred miles away from Mandu, the original capital of the Western Barbarians.
This original small town, after Tang Ao invested money, has become a city surrounded by tupi. And outside the tucheng, there is the endless desert Gobi, which naturally became the western part of Dahua. Where the first barrier is located.
Caravans traveling from the western countries to Dahua also regard this place as their first place to stay. Even though the city here is not big, the business is very prosperous. People of all colors can be seen here every day. That is something that is not surprising.
In a private room of a well-located restaurant in the city, three young people, one man and two women, were sitting here drinking tea. While they were talking and laughing, they would look downstairs at the street from time to time, as if they were looking for someone. What are you wearing?
"Sister-in-law, I want to have a plate of dessert." The slightly chubby young girl said, and then her eyes were fixed on the strong man.
A sudden tremor fell, right on the girl's head, "Shui Qin, you have eaten a lot. If you continue like this, you will become fatter and fatter."
It seems that some women who hate iron cannot become steel. Just after saying this, the fat girl hugged her arm and said: "Miss, people also know that they want to be fat, but they just like to eat. Is this good?"
If the previous set doesn’t work, half a set is fine.”
"Haha, let's order a plate. Although sweets can make you fat, it doesn't matter if you eat too much and exercise more." The man known as Uncle said with a smile.
"You just know how to pamper her. When she gets really fat, whoever wants her will be unable to get married." The woman called Miss said after giving the man a look that looked like a coquettish one.
With.
"If you can't get married, you can't get married. Shui Qin is willing to stay with the young lady and uncle for the rest of his life." The woman chuckled, showing a simple and honest smile.
Shui Qin is Tang Chuyao's maid, and the one she calls Gu Ye is Ao Da, who once went by the pseudonym Li Si.
The reason why the three of them appeared here was because they had been looking for traces of their husband, Old Ghost Dong.
The Tang Sect is today, and Mr. Dong is unforgivable. It was precisely because of his scheme that the Tang Sect was completely destroyed.
The two of them didn't hate Tang Ao for taking action. Who asked them to attack others first, poisoned them, and spread rumors everywhere. What's the matter, you are only allowed to attack other people's ideas, but others are not allowed.
Can't I deal with you?
But the three of them hate Old Ghost Dong with all their heart. If it weren't for this person, the Tang Clan wouldn't have such great ambitions, and the whole family wouldn't be nearly wiped out.
Ao Da made great contributions in this matter, so Tang Ao let some people from the Tang clan go out of consideration and gave him his freedom. Under the favor of others, Ao Da decided to do something after discussing with Tang Chuyao.
Something, and catching Mr. Dong who was arrested was what they thought they should do.
The reason why bad people
They are bad people because they have bad intentions no matter what the conditions and circumstances are. And in order to reduce the number of people in the world who are evil and to reduce the number of people in the world who are fooled, they decided to catch Old Ghost Dong.
It's just that although this old ghost Dong's skills are mediocre, he has a lot of thoughts. First, he disguised himself in Ba Mansion to avoid the search of the Chinese army, and then left the city and came all the way to the west. I'm afraid he also knows that Dahua is powerful.
, it is extremely difficult to stir up anything here, so I want to escape from here first.
Aoda and Tang Chuyao followed him all the way with their courage and carefulness. They were very familiar with Old Ghost Dong, which allowed them to find some clues from some clues and followed them all the way to Tucheng.
Now the three of them are sitting in the restaurant, seemingly chatting and drinking tea, but in fact they are observing the surroundings and streets, especially looking at the West Gate, which is the only place to go out of the city, to see if there is any luck.
Caught Mr. Dong.
Besides, Old Ghost Dong was disguised and cautious all the way.
Shi'er became an old man begging for food, Shi'er became a middle-aged scholar, or he changed his identity and became a rich man. In short, he showed himself in different appearances, and thus came to Tucheng.
