Jiangxi, Jiujiang Prefecture,
In the government office,
Lu Yan was in the kitchen, following Fairy Abe and Chen Bangling as they cooked.
That's right, he changed his career, stopped playing Kang Mazi, and is learning to cook
Well, the main reason was that the subsequent management force failed to keep up, and Lu Yan had to stop and conduct grassroots selection again!
However, Lu Yan's selection method was very simple.
That is, as long as you can calculate accounts, have sound limbs, and know how to grow grains, then congratulations on becoming an official!
As long as you are a former basic official and do not do evil or have any bad behavior, then you will be promoted!
This approach undoubtedly caused the Ming Dynasty represented by Lu Yan to be resisted by most of the wealthy families.
They are all at home. If you don't come to invite them, you have to go to those mud-legged people and poor families, or even copyists and those farmers in the farmland. Isn't this a slap in the face?
But for these people, Lu Yan would not be used to it at all. Starting from Guangdong, the land was owned by the imperial court. You could rent it, but you were never allowed to buy or sell it. This was true for everyone, from bottom to top, even Lu Yan. Implementing one-stop service and one-stop payment of food,
However, in the face of this kind of approach, it undoubtedly offends the gentry and wealthy families.
Starting from Guangzhou, there have been rebellions from time to time.
Facing the Tatars, they were submissive. Facing the Ming Dynasty, they struck hard.
Do you really think that Lu Yan was playing house with these bastards by letting those pirates manage the place?
Where did he come up with so much silver reward for the soldiers, and he didn't have to look at these soft-footed shrimps!
Drinking the blood of the people and gnawing at the roots of the Ming Dynasty, when the Tatars came, my scalp was itchy and my knees were weak. I knelt down as soon as I shaved my hair.
Now Lu Yan just wants everyone to return to the fairest treatment. What's wrong, can't bear it?
Then stop holding back and rebel, I'm watching!
Sure enough, after basic officials from various places took office, news of rebellions spread from time to time.
But Lu Yan didn't take these things to heart at all, because he knew that as long as he weakened, these people would never be satisfied!
Then use the most primitive method to solve it and deal with those who create the problem!
While Guangdong was bleeding like a river, Guangxi was quite cooperative.
After all, apart from the chief toast, there are not many aristocratic families in the area.
But when it comes to paying taxes, the chieftains are very cooperative. After all, they have only been sending troops for a few years, and they have earned a lifetime worth of money. There is still more than half of China that has not been conquered. For this little money, not only will they die, but they will also have to pay taxes. Go and make trouble with Lu Yan, it won't happen.
Because Lu Yan borrowed troops in exchange for money, in addition to the capture of the wolf soldiers, he also gave the chieftain another batch of money.
Look, this is how the pattern has opened up.
Because those who are too greedy, Lu Yan will teach them a word, settle accounts after the fall, and make a list!
As for Qianzhou, let’s not mention it. Today’s place can be summed up in one word: barren mountains and harsh mountains!
But Qianzhou people never believe in fate, they always believe in their own hands!
Holding a hoe and a wooden spear, he left under the watchful eyes of his family. What was he doing? He was doing it to bring glory to his family!
Now, they have got everything they had originally, and a little tax is not in their eyes at all.
A Tatar pays half a tael,
Your family only pays taxes if it has land. If you don’t have land, you’ll have to pay taxes!
Everyone is busy competing for heads? Who has time to go back to the village to farm?
This also resulted in very harsh logistics for Lu Yan's army, which had to rely on pirates from Luzon for plunder.
Today, Southeast Asia has basically been robbed by him.
There are only four Japanese pirate islands left, but they are coming soon. When Lu Yan attacks Hubei, the logistical pressure will come up. He will rob everyone, whether human or ghost, and get beaten severely, for no other reason than You don't know what's going on? You didn't see me sending food, so why don't you deliver it yourself?
At noon, when Chen Bangling came up with the dishes,
Lu Yan couldn't help but get excited. In the past few days, he finally experienced the power of "Gourmet Cell Transformation".
That is to stimulate your body and transform your body through various delicious foods.
Although this increase is not much, this is an ordinary world after all. If he really waits for him to go to the advanced world to find various delicacies, wouldn't it be like taking off from the same place?
"Wow, Fairy Abe's cooking skills are really great!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm so fat!"
Xu Zheng, who was stuffing food in his mouth and still picking up delicious food with chopsticks, quickly explained,
Looking at Xu Zheng, Lu Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes. This coward has no appearance at all.
With that said, Lu Yan took the dinner plate and went directly to his "basin" to get the food.
Looking at Lu Yan dumbfounded, Xu Zheng said dullly: "Brother, if you don't do this, we can't be brothers anymore!"
"Asshole, if you lose weight, how will you kill the enemy in battle!"
Looking at Xu Zheng with disgust, Lu Yan couldn't help but complain,
"Brother, you eat ten buckets of rice and five liters of vegetables in one meal. How come you don't gain weight?"
Just when Xu Zhen finished saying this, everyone looked at Lu Yan,
Some people use bowls to eat, and others use basins to eat. Even if they eat in rice pails, they still won’t grow meat.
"I consume a lot of money, please take care of me!"
While protecting the rice bowl, Lu Yan explained,
After hearing these words, everyone looked at Akko who was standing aside.
Facing everyone's confused looks, Akko tilted his head and said, "Why do you look at me like that?"
"Mom, why are you looking at Sister Ake?"
Asked Chen Bangling in surprise, Liu Pleiaxing couldn't help but become confused.
Blushing and hitting Liu Pleiades on the head, Chen Bangling shouted angrily: "Eat your food!"
Just as Lu Yan's reform was in full swing, Kang Mazi couldn't bear it any longer.
The main source of tax revenue is the South. Nowadays, is there any tax revenue in the South?
There is a wool thread, the Maritime Silk Road has been cut off by Lu Yan, and the gentry and wealthy families have not paid the money, because the officials and gentry are all paying for the food, and it has not started yet!
Since the 40th year of Kangxi's reign, tax revenue has begun to decline in negative numbers.
This is also why Yongzheng proposed this strategy,
Because it is enough to save today's Qing Dynasty!
Looking at Lu Yan's reforms, Kang Mazi couldn't help but feel cold, because this method was also effective for them!
The poor people don't have as much money as the wealthy families.
But there are two dangers in doing so, that is, offending most people in the court today.
Well, to be precise, 99%, even the Manchus, will think that Kang Mazi is looking for something to do!
However, in order to maintain the Qing court's continued war, Kang Mazi had no choice but to transfer Wei Xiaobao from Anhui back to Beijing.
When he heard that Kangxi was looking for him to go back, Wei Xiaobao was so happy that he almost wanted to fly back.
Because it's too dangerous in Nanjing. Lu Yan is next door. Are you afraid?
The first neighbor Wu Sangui went up the mountain, the second neighbor Yu Chenglong had his bones broken, and the third neighbor Tu Hai also looked hanging!
The only safe one is Zheng Jing, because he is so good that Lu Yan doesn't even think of beating him!
I have to say, what a sad fact!
Zheng Jing: I am very good at fighting. Just let Shi Lang crawl away.
Shi Lang: Old thief, you and I are at odds with each other!
But just when Wei Xiaobao returned to the capital, he heard that Kangxi asked him to do the work of collecting food for both officials and gentry. He was so frightened that he almost died on the spot.
It's better to stay in Nanjing.
Because somewhere, although Lu Yan is scary, he is a spy anyway, so he may not necessarily die. If he does this, he will definitely die!
But there is no way, Kangxi's words have been spoken, and Wei Xiaobao will die now if he doesn't do it.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it!
Jiujiang Prefecture,
When Lu Yan learned that Kang Mazi had begun to learn from him, his eyes flashed and he said, "This Kang Mazi is a bit interesting!"
"Brother, why don't we take this opportunity to attack once they slow down!"
Looking at Lu Yan, Xu Zheng quickly became serious.
"No, some people will always be killed, why not let Kang Mazi help? Also, I have no food in my hand!"
Raising his head with a guilty conscience, Lu Yan looked up at the sky and said, "It feels uncomfortable!"
If he had known this, he should have made more incursions into Southeast Asia and stocked up on food supplies, but he still didn't grab enough at sea!
Southeast Asia: Just be a human being!
