Chapter 707 Jin Yiwei
“Your Majesty said, I won’t stay tonight to rest and go directly to Liaoyang.”
Li Ruolian stepped forward and looked at Huang Ling, the commander of the Yongwei Battalion.
Li Ruolian is not familiar with this commander of the Yongwei Capital.
Especially since the establishment of the Imperial Front Camp, his attention to the Imperial Army has naturally been concentrated on the Imperial Front Camp. Who would have thought that when the Son of Heaven travels and escorts him, it is not the Imperial Front Camp, but the Brave Guard Camp.
This point, Li Ruolian obviously did not expect.
By the time the response came, it was obviously too late.
He naturally knew that the status of Jin Yiwei had changed a long time ago.
Although it is still in the Imperial Guard Sequence, many of the functions of Jinyiwei in the former Ming Dynasty have been deprived.
For example, many important ceremonial events in sacrificial ceremonies, in the past, were the primary guards of Jinyiwei, and it was also a symbol of Jinyiwei’s status.
At present, these functions no longer belong to Jinyiwei.
Even if it is intelligence, the functions of Jin Yiwei are also divided.
The East Factory has no name, but its power has already completely covered the entire world with the business bank and bank that covers the world to which the Inner Court belongs.
The Intelligence Department of the General Staff is well-known and has a lot of military support. There is no shortage of financial resources and manpower.
Outside the territory of Daheng, it has nothing to do with Jin Yiwei.
Inside Daheng, there is also the “East Factory” eyeing it.
Moreover, Li Ruolian knew very well why the Imperial Camp, which had been accompanied by the emperor in the past, had not accompanied him this time.
The imperial camp of Daheng is the Jinyiwei of Qianming!
The emperor is in close proximity to the army, he is in charge of the guard of honor, and he is dedicated to sacrificing important events.
At the same time, Yuqian Ying also has an unnamed intelligence system like Dongchang. Although it is extremely secretive, Li Ruolian estimates that very few people in the Manchu Dynasty have noticed it.
Even him, if it weren’t for chance, would be hard to detect.
But in fact, it is.
Yuqianying is a real and nameless Jin Yiwei.
In this way, the imperial camp stayed in Beijing, and the Duke of Jingguo sat in Beijing. What it means is undoubtedly very clear.
Among the details, he did not dare to inquire too much.
It is also clear that Jin Yiwei is by no means his one word.
Staring at him, staring at Jin Yiwei, there are definitely not a few.
The training of dead soldiers instructed by Wei Zhongxian back then made Daheng a success, and it also made Jinyiwei…
The current Jin Yiwei, or in other words, the current him, seems to be in an extremely embarrassing situation.
Not going in, not going back.
Everything can’t be controlled by him in the slightest, and everything he does, every move, is under the control of the Son of Heaven.
If you want him to advance, you have to advance, if you want him to retreat, you have to retreat, if you want him to die, you have to die…
Up to now, he only hopes that he can continue to maintain Jin Yiwei, and himself, can be safe and stable until he retire.
Being able to get to this point, coupled with his hard work over the years, and his connections with the court and Chinese martial arts, is enough to keep his Li family prosperous for generations.
And the premise of all this is that he, the commander of the Jinyiwei, can be stable until he is appointed.
This point, even he himself is not confident.
The previous civil strife had already caused the emperor to have a very serious crisis of trust in Jin Yiwei and Li Ruolian.
There must be many reasons for the emergence of the East Factory and the Imperial Camp.
The reason why he still exists is that the Son of Heaven is still taking into account his past feelings.
If the director makes another mistake, how long this relationship will last is obviously an unknown.
“Okay, I’ll make arrangements.”
Huang Ling nodded, but did not say much to Li Ruolian.
The biggest taboo for a general of the Imperial Guard is to have too much contact with foreign ministers.
Whether it is literary or martial, even with the Beijing army, they are completely two systems.
If this point is unclear, then Huang Ling will not be able to reach the position of the commander of the Yongwei Battalion.
At this time, the twilight has come, the wind and snow are all over the sky, the fire is flickering, and the motorcade is slowly moving forward.
Although the Son of Heaven is in a low profile, naturally there are not a few escorts accompanying him.
Brave guards hundreds of iron cavalry, Jinyi guards more than a hundred sharp men.
Such a military force, not to mention that it is still in the territory of Daheng, even in the grasslands, it is enough to face most unexpected situations.
As the boat and car moved forward, the emperor did not rest, nor did he deal with the political affairs on the table. The emperor looked through the window of the car and looked at the dark wind and snow outside the car, as if he had not slept all night.
It was not until noon the next day that the emperor’s drive was worthy of reaching Liaoyang Mansion.
The weather in Liao Province can also be said to change. It was still windy and snowy, and it seemed that the sun was shining brightly in the blink of an eye.
The vast white world, coupled with the dazzling scorching sun, made it feel unreal.
The emperor still randomly selected a village on the map, and ordered the convoy to drive towards it.
Lijia Village, located in Zhihe County, Liaoyang Prefecture, has 78 households with a total of 453 people.
On the Emperor’s Table Eucalyptus, this yellow book of household registration seems to clearly record the destination of the Emperor’s trip.
However, this time, the scenery in the village was a little different than before.
“The autumn harvest, it should be over, right?”
Far away, the emperor asked with a frown as he watched the village officials harvesting grain.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, the collection time of agricultural tax is generally from the period after the autumn harvest to the end of the year…”
Li Ruolian immediately replied.
The emperor raised his brows, but he was obviously interested.
The data collected by the imperial court every year is that the agricultural tax and commercial tax are added every year, but the emperor has not seen it personally, how to collect this tax, and what is the procedure for collecting it at the grassroots level.
“Everyone is here, you guys come with me.”
The emperor waved his hand, got off the carriage, got on his horse, and rode away.
At this moment, the village is full of hustle and bustle. The people are standing in line at the threshing ground. A row of long tables is placed on one side. Some officials sit down with writing, some officials count the grain they handed in, and some officials call the people famous. Food turned in.
The sudden arrival of the emperor and several people did not cause any fluctuations in the hustle and bustle of the crowd.
“I remember, the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda, every year, has the task of publicizing the agricultural and commercial policies of the imperial court at the grassroots level, right?”
Looking at this noisy scene, the emperor seemed to remember something and asked suddenly.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, it is arranged every year.”
Li Ruo Lian clasped his fists in response.
The emperor nodded, Daheng’s agricultural tax policy is very simple.
There are no other exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. For the common people, there is only one, and that is the land tax!
Tax by mu, UU reading www.uukanshu. The yield per mu is determined by the imperial court.
The data of this per-mu yield is determined by the court’s statistics of the field yield data over the years, and an average value is obtained.
As for whether the people should pay in kind or in money, before, they had to pay grain and not fold silver, but with the introduction of paper money, the imperial court has strengthened the power of coordinating the world, and there are no tough rules for this.
If you want to pay the grain, you should pay the tax proportionally according to the amount of land and acres set by the court. If you want to replace it with money, then you will replace it with the price of the grain purchased by the court grain store.
Of course, there are no other rigid regulations, but this money must be Daheng banknotes, and metal currency is not allowed to be paid as tax.
The most fundamental purpose of such a policy is to make the policy as simple and easy to understand as possible. The Department of Culture and Propaganda promotes it every year to make the policy as clear and understandable as possible to every citizen.
Only in this way, the interval for officials to go up and down will be smaller.
