    Less than half a month later, Lin'an Mansion was completely under control.

    And the news that Qiao Mu ascended the throne and became Emperor Yuanwa completely spread throughout the Southern Song Dynasty, and even reached the Jin Dynasty not far away, Mongolia and Dali on the other side. It really shocked the whole world.  Thousands of people are talking about it.

    Yes, the whole world was shocked.

    Although there has already been Emperor Zetian with the sun and moon in the sky, it is still intolerable for a woman to become emperor for all civilizations and countries influenced by the Chinese cultural circle in Asia.

    No one agreed or approved. Even if the hostile countries felt that a female emperor in the Southern Song Dynasty might be easier to deal with, no one said they agreed.

    Because they feel that women are not qualified to sit in such a position, or are not qualified to contact politics at all. Women's soft-heartedness will make politics a mess. Otherwise, why would they always talk about women's benevolence? In short, Qiao Mu became the emperor.  This behavior can really be called something that caused public outrage and was reviled by thousands of people.

    Although Qiao Mu had already anticipated this situation, she was still very angry, and she accelerated her original advance, preparing to advance the army to the whole country as soon as possible, and then carry out land reform against those gentry. She is not a clay sculpture.  Buddha, who is being cursed viciously by so many people every day, is already in a good state of mind without cutting them all off. Is it possible that he can't even be angry? What's more, the tree itself is also very aware of it. Don't look at everyone's scolding now.  In fact, the people who really scolded her were people with a certain social status. Really ordinary people were still struggling to survive and worried about what to eat next, so how could they be in the mood to pay attention to this.

    Therefore, there is no need to worry about peasant uprisings at all. Even if there is a problem somewhere, it must be the local gentry officials. In this way, Qiao Mu can at least be sure that there will be no large-scale unrest in the country. Small-scale unrest will only require the arrival of the army.  Then, it will calm down soon.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out out out out out out out out out of out, and when the land reform is over, and the abolition of the agricultural tax is announced, the general situation will be basically stabilized, and even if some squires secretly instigate it, there should be few common people foolish enough to join them in rebellion.

    As for whether the cancellation of agricultural taxes will affect national income, the proportion of agricultural taxes in the Southern Song Dynasty is already quite low. Most of the country's income depends on commercial taxes and various tariffs, so even if agricultural taxes are cancelled, it will not have much impact.  At worst, we can just add a personal income tax to ensure that the income from the personal income tax far exceeds the income from the agricultural tax.

    Tax collection has always been focused on the rich. The poor don¡¯t have much money to begin with, so no matter how much you search, you won¡¯t be able to collect much. But it¡¯s different for the rich. If you collect a rich person¡¯s tax, the amount of money you collect will be less than  If you collect taxes from 10,000 poor people, you may even collect taxes from a poor person in a county. If you collect half of the taxes from 10,000 poor people, then those 10,000 poor people will rebel. But if you collect taxes from one rich person, let alone  If it¡¯s half, if it¡¯s more than 60% or 70%, the rich won¡¯t dare to rebel.

    Because if you charge half of the taxes of the poor, it will basically drive the poor to death. But if you charge half of the taxes of the rich, the rich will earn less at most, and at most they will exchange abalone and sea cucumber for chicken and duck every day.  You may not even need to change the fish and meat, just buy less jewelry.

    Therefore, the only thing Qiao Mu currently needs to deal with is the turmoil caused by the land reform. As long as this wave of chaos has stabilized, there will be no problems in the future. After all, the land conflict is the biggest contradiction currently existing. Once this conflict is resolved, all domestic conflicts will be solved.  Ordinary people all have to thank her, and maybe even without anyone greeting her, they can rush to give her a memorial tablet.

    Of course, those ordinary squires and some nobles from aristocratic families did not know that Qiao Mu was already sharpening his sword and preparing to kill them. They were still dancing happily and vying to express their opinions. Some people even joined forces and prepared to give them orders.  The generals asked the generals to send troops to capture Lin'an.

    However, Qiao Mu had already sent people to contact the military generals from all over the Southern Song Dynasty in advance, and promised them that in the future, civil and military affairs would be equal and there would be no distinction between superior and inferior. Therefore, those military generals would not listen to the instigation of the literati who always looked down on them.

    Another month later, Qiao Mu finally allowed the troops she had trained to be fully stationed in various places in the Southern Song Dynasty. There were not many in each place, but they were all elite soldiers. Moreover, the military commanders nearby also promised to cooperate with them. Of course, Qiao Mu would also do the same.  A little blood was shed and a certain agreement was reached with them. However, the issue of military commanders can be discussed later and in the future. The most important thing at the moment is to resolve the land reform issue first and stabilize the national order.

    With the arrival of the agreed date, the nationwide land reform in the Southern Song Dynasty officially kicked off. Of course, this land reform did not completely depriveThe land of all landowners, because some small landowners may actually be a small and medium-sized family who have saved hundreds of acres of land for several lifetimes. Such small landowners are naturally not included in the scope of land reform.  , the land reform mainly targets people whose families have more than a thousand acres of land. Of course, the most important targets are people whose land source is unknown or whose land was obtained through some improper means. These are the key targets. This category  Landlords, squires and nobles are all imprisoned and sentenced according to law, and their land is distributed to the people who have no or little land around them. Moreover, if someone's land is plundered by such a landlord through plunder, and can  Those who produce evidence can also take back their land.

    In short, the land reform planned by Qiaomu is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Although there is no guarantee that there will be no mistakes in it, this kind of nationwide activity can ensure that the overall situation is good and the general direction is good.  It can be guaranteed to be 100% correct.

    Of course, the turmoil caused by this reform was also great, and armed riots broke out in many places. However, because the troops Qiaomu sent out to suppress were all firearms troops, and with the early propaganda, many people were willing to spontaneously participate and deal with those riots spontaneously.  Local tyrants and evil gentry, so although there were a lot of bloody conflicts in the process, they were eventually able to calm down and restore order.

    In less than three months, the entire Southern Song Dynasty not only carried out a land reform nationwide, but also redefined the population and household registration and the amount of land. Although this land reform killed many people and convicted many people, the whole country was not registered  Not only did the population not decrease, but it actually increased by more than 10 million. The more than 10 million includes some hidden households in the past. Most of them were rescued from the hands of big landowners, and only a small number were hidden households caused by tax evasion.  Black households.

    Of course, in addition to the increase in population and household registration, the land has also increased a lot, by more than three million hectares. These more than three million hectares of land are obviously hidden fields hidden by landlords and nobles for the purpose of tax evasion.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
