Chapter 1047

After becoming emperor, Liu Yuanqiao implemented a completely different policy from that of the previous dynasty. Generally speaking, he emphasized commerce over agriculture. It can be said that compared with the past, it is completely different.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, the people who plough the land are the foundation of the country. Only when these people plough the land honestly can we have food, clothes and clothes.

As for businessmen, they are crafty and opportunistic. They can only do such opportunistic things. Therefore, the farmers are ranked in the second gear, and the businessmen are ranked in the lowest gear. There are clear regulations. Although businessmen earn money, they can't wear silk and boots. If they dare to wear silk and boots, they dare to peel their skin.

After these things were implemented for hundreds of years, they almost became something deeply rooted in people's hearts, which formed that officials are proud of farming and reading heirs. Few scholar bureaucrats and officials will say they are business heirs, which is very out of line. Even many officials born of businessmen will say they are farming and reading heirs, not businessmen.

Almost in contemporary times, in everyone's mind, businesses and businessmen are illegitimate people, which seems a little better than the lower class.

Liu Yuanqiao's policies made him a merchant emperor among many people, which is a derogatory term.

Of course, these people only dare to call him a merchant emperor secretly. No one dares to call him so publicly. After all, Liu Yuanqiao's knife is also very cruel. Those who make him unhappy will be even more unhappy.

Many people are waiting to see Liu Yuanqiao's joke. Where can anyone govern the country like this? Since ancient times, governing the country depends on benevolence, righteousness and morality, and on kingcraft. Now someone can govern the country with businessmen. If everyone values commerce over agriculture and does not speak of benevolence and righteousness, the world will not be in chaos?

The Chinese Empire seized the world by force and took advantage of the greed of human nature. In fact, he was not in a right position. Many people believe that even if a group of city flies are in power, they will not last long. They are not allowed to allow his people to rebel. Just like the an Shi rebellion in those years, how strong it was at the beginning, and is it not over in the end?

Almost all the survivors, old and young, are waiting to see Liu Yuanqiao's jokes and see their father and son make a fool of themselves.

With the promotion of Liu Yuanqiao's series of policies, they have also received a lot of obstacles. However, with the support of his powerful Hua Xiajun, everything has been implemented smoothly, such as his tax reform.

If we want to carry out reform in the middle link in successive dynasties, it will violate the interests of many people and trigger a new round of Korean and party disputes. Whether the reform is successful or not, it will make the imperial court a mess.

However, with the identity of his Taizu emperor and his powerful authority, Liu Yuanqiao overcame all these opposition voices, suppressed the temporary counterattack of these interest classes and forcibly implemented these policies.

While carrying out these policies, there are also some things that have been launched in line with the trend, such as Huimin warehouse, changpingcang, nursing home, etc. in fact, these things that maintain the basic society are not strange. These things already existed as early as the era of Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

But later, with the tension of national finance and the darkness of society, these things that benefit the people have become nominal things, and the people have not benefited from them.

But now the Chinese army is vigorously promoting these things and taking care of the widowed, lonely and displaced people. These policies have ended the refugees and the groups of beggars in the street in the shortest time, and brought the society into an era of stable development.

Another major move of Liu Yuanqiao is to stabilize prices.

Since the apocalypse, the price of food and oil in all parts of the Ming Dynasty has risen to an unbearable level. After a hard year, many people may not be able to fill their stomachs. Starvation has become a common phenomenon in this era. In an era when the local families have no surplus food, many people have never eaten a full meal or meat in their whole life.

There are many reasons in this regard. In the eyes of Liu Bu, it is naturally the bad environment during the little ice age, which led to poor grain harvest. In the eyes of these officials, this is that the rulers do not practice moral government, which leads to heaven's anger.

In fact, if you say so, the result will only be more tragic. That is, God doesn't love this emperor. Even God doesn't love it. The son of heaven has become an abandoned son. No one can decide.

However, it doesn't seem to make sense for the Liu family. They are just a local tyrant's family, but just after the rebellion, in a few years, they sat in the world and won the world several times faster than Zhu Yuanzhang in those years. They won the country's change, second only to Yang Jian. How dare you say that such a person has no luck? Without God's care?

However, even in the new Chinese dynasty, natural disasters continued. In many places, either droughts or floods broke through dikes and drowned countless people.

However, the biggest difference between the Chinese army and the Chinese army is proper prevention and effective disaster relief.

For example, they vigorously reclaimed wasteland, built water conservancy, and vigorously promoted the cultivation of high-yield and drought resistant crops, such as potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, etc., which not only increased the output in one way, but also brought back a lot of grain from all over Nanyang. They used a huge fleet to bring back grain and reduce the cost through official, A large number of these grains were put on the market, which stabilized the grain price. Many people who hoarded grain and raised the price while taking advantage of the disaster year accompanied them.

This is the greatest guarantee that everyone has food to eat and will not starve to death, thus maintaining social stability.

In the feudal farming society, food was everything and the key to all stability. The Liu family did not pay attention to agriculture, but solved this problem, which surprised everyone and disappointed those waiting to see the Liu family joke.

Many people think that their Liu family can do this because they have spent all the money they have accumulated before. There is no way to transport food back from Nanyang and feed the people. It is time for chaos in the world.

But they were disappointed again. At the end of the summer, the Chinese imperial court announced the fiscal revenue in the first quarter of this year.

When a figure was released, the imperial court was shocked and the whole Shilin was silent.

That is the Chinese Empire. In the first quarter of this year, it actually earned 8 million liang of silver.

What is the concept of a quarterly income of 8 million taels of silver? That is, his quarterly income is twice that of Daming. On the whole, the most conservative estimate is that their financial income may be as much as eight times that of Daming.

The astonishing figures were passed out, but many people were shocked by them.

We should know that in the first quarter of this year, they are still in the stage of war. They are fighting with the Ming Court and have not decided to win a decisive victory. Many people also believe that they will fall into a protracted battle.

Who knows that even under such difficult circumstances, they actually got so much silver, and this is only silver, not including income from food, cloth and so on.

After this amazing figure was reported, all those waiting to see Chinese jokes couldn't laugh.

Daming's income is only 4 million Liang, which can support it. But the Huaxia army has an amazing income of 8 million in one quarter alone. What else can't support it?

Moreover, looking at the current situation, by the second, third and fourth quarter of this year, the income will only be more, because at this time, China has basically been peaceful and stabilized, various economic activities have begun, the world is peaceful, all industries are developing and flourishing, and the income will only be more.

According to the current capacity, it can be calculated as eight times that of Daming. Since there is such an amazing income, what problems can't be solved?

In the eyes of many officials, Daming's problem is actually the problem of owed money. As long as there is silver, there is no problem that can't be solved.

Now that the Chinese army has carried out these reforms, it has actually obtained so much income, which is a symbol of the coming of the golden age, and many people who want to see Liu Yuanqiao's jokes can't see it.

After these people could not blame Liu Yuanqiao in this regard, they also blamed him in the political aspect. They accused him that he should not work hard to expedition Lee's North Korea when the country was not flat.

In fact, they did not know that when the imperial court was expediting North Korea, it also attacked the Chahar tribe in Mongolia and achieved great success.

When Liu Yuanqiao proudly announced this amazing news, it caused a sensation all over the country and made many people who wanted to see him laugh completely dead. At present, Liu Yuanqiao's achievements can be described as Wencheng's martial virtue.

In terms of political ability, you can say that they don't talk about benevolence and righteousness and value business rather than agriculture, but they earn so much money. What can't be done with so much money?

But in the military, in a short period of time, he crippled the Chahar tribe and captured lindan Khan alive.

In fact, the previous Ming Dynasty also sent troops out of the customs many times to attack the nomads. Each time, it claimed that it had made great achievements, occupied the other party's tribe and beat the other party into flight.

But you can see that this depends on blowing. The most important thing on the grassland is people, not the land. The other party's sweat ran away with the people. When you go back, you will make a comeback, that is, suppressing bandits and border diseases every year.

But none of them dared to boast that they had captured each other's tribal leaders and chiefs alive.

At the moment, it was the lindane Khan of the Mongolian Empire who was captured alive. With this name alone, they could stir the world and threaten all countries.
