    It can be said that Zhu Jianshen's decree directly destroyed most of the military households in the Ming Dynasty.

    It also disintegrated the military household system of the Ming Dynasty.

    It even caused the deaths of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of military generals.

    The military strength and number of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

    The one-time loss is more than half.

    But, this is not a bad thing.

    Because the military system of the Ming Dynasty had already begun to decay, the original idea of ??Emperor Hongwu was indeed good. He established the field system in the hope that the military households of the Ming Dynasty would farm when they were free, and they would train a little while farming. When encountering foreign enemies,  Going out directly to fight can not only ensure that Ming Dynasty has a large number of soldiers that can be mobilized at any time, but also allows those soldiers to be self-sufficient without having to work and eat when there is no war.

    ¡°But no system in this world is perfect, and no system can always maintain its original intention. As time goes by, the system that originally looked good has long been corrupted.

    Originally, military households should plant together. After planting, after paying the due part, everyone's equal share of the farm income is basically misappropriated by the superiors of those military households, such as hundreds of thousands of households. The same is true for military pay. It's better.  If you keep a part of it for yourself, you will distribute the rest; in worse cases, you may even keep most of it for yourself or not give it away.

    This situation directly makes most ordinary military households basically struggle to survive on the food and clothing line.

    Some encountered a hundred households with bad superiors.

    Life may not be much better.

    This is not all, sometimes after busy farming, the superiors of those local military households may even directly ask those military households to do things for him.

    They even treated military households as domestic servants.

    Let military households work for them and make money.

    How much combat effectiveness can such a military household have?

    The money allocated every year is not so much used to support Ming soldiers as it is used to support hundreds of thousands of households.

    ??Middle and lower class military commanders.

    Faced with this situation, if Zhu Jianshen sends people to investigate thoroughly and continue to punish these generals according to past practice, then there may be a lot of trouble, and he may even directly rebel or trigger a mutiny.

    But now he has made his will come true.

    He didn¡¯t need to take action at all. The military households below killed the generals themselves.

    As for the generals who truly love their soldiers as their sons.

    It¡¯s impossible for their subordinates to do this!

    So by doing this, the military generals of the Ming Dynasty were wiped out by 70% to 80%, or 80% to 90%.

    At the same time, the original burdensome military households.

    It also suddenly decreased by 80% to 90%.

    Furthermore, Zhu Jianshen also won many more people who supported his new tax policy, and received grateful praise and support from many former military households.

    As for the reduction of military households, it affects the strength.

    There is no need to worry about this at all. In the past four or five years, Zhu Jianshen, apart from giving Qiaomu a platform, has devoted all his energy to cultivating soldiers who will directly take orders from him. With sufficient funds and food, the direct subordinates in his hands  Soldiers have long been no longer limited to the original number of one hundred thousand, although they are still far from a million.

    But there is still half a million.

    Five hundred thousand elite soldiers and generals.

    Far better than five million ordinary military households.

    Moreover, the number of military households canceled this time is estimated to be less than five million, so there is no need to worry that the reduction of these military households will affect the strength of the Ming Dynasty. The disappearance of these military households actually allowed Zhu Jianshen to more smoothly control most of the military power of the Ming Dynasty.  , and grant new positions to his subordinates.

    "And without those military households, those people below would not be able to rebel if they wanted to. A small team of hundreds or thousands of people could be wiped out in minutes.

    Clan rebellion plan.

    It can be said to be completely shattered.

    Not only was it shattered, but it also gave Zhu Jianshen an excuse to promulgate a new clan law.

    Completely cancel all preferential treatment of the clan.

    The clan members are guilty of the same crimes as the common people.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The descendants and descendants of the clan can make a living on their own, do business, take imperial examinations, etc., without any of the original restrictions.

    The descendants of the clan are a drag on the finances.

    It was originally one of the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty.

    Zhu Jianshen knew the future situation, so how could he not take this opportunity to eliminate this burden.

    Rather than spending so much money on these individualsThe more bribes you take, the longer it takes to receive bribes, and the more assets you have of unknown origin naturally increase.

    ??As long as the officials and officials are not too excessive.

    It is generally difficult to get ten thousand taels of silver.

    After the inventory was completed, a large number of vacant positions were of course occupied by Zhu Jianshen's cronies, and a new round of reforms officially began. The first step of the new round of reforms was to officially announce that everyone would be exempted from land tax and head tax.  .

    ?????????? No matter whether there is land or not, there is more land and less land.

    Anyway, all land taxes are exempted.

    All poll taxes are also waived.

    It is also called Ding tax.

    As for whether doing so will indulge the big landowners, there is actually no need to worry.

    Although the land tax is exempted, don't you still have to pay personal income tax? Even if the land tax is exempted, those big landowners will definitely still have to sell the crops in their fields. They can keep the food at home for a year or two.  But he can't keep putting it away, and he will eventually have to take it out.

    And the money sold needs to pay personal income tax.

    Calculated according to the stepped tax collection of personal income tax, for any landowner whose personal land exceeds 100 acres, the personal income tax he needs to pay after selling the land and crops will exceed the land tax payable according to normal rules, so even if Zhu Jianshen exempts all  In the end, the real beneficiaries of the land tax are those families with less than a hundred acres of land.

    Those with more than ten thousand hectares of land.

    You will definitely lose money to death.

    But no matter what, when Zhu Jianshen just issued this edict, he immediately won the support of all the people and was hailed by the people as the First Holy Son of Heaven, who had merited the three emperors and surpassed the five emperors.

    At this point, Qiao Mu has completed the agreement with Zhu Jianshen, and has successively handed over some of the forces and industries in his hands that may threaten the imperial power to Zhu Jianshen for management.

    ? And she finally found some time.

    Started to set up schools for women, textile workshops, and various workshops that women could enter, or specifically for women to work. From the time that women walked out of the house, got their first salary, and became financially independent, the movement for equal rights for men and women began.

    "Equality for men and women can only be achieved when there is no major turmoil, when men do not die in large numbers, and when women do not awaken their awareness of independence.

    It is difficult to achieve it overnight.

    So Qiao Mu can only take his time.

    She first spent ten years helping a large number of women get out of their homes, get their first jobs, and get their first wages.

    It took another ten years to educate a large number of women with new ideas in the new era. They may not necessarily have great achievements or produce outstanding women, but after they get married and have children, their thoughts will be instilled again.  to the next generation, thereby promoting change in society as a whole.

    "In another ten years, the tree will be a hundred years old.

    Although there has not been any large-scale affirmative action in the entire society, the status of men and women in society has indeed changed to a certain extent, and the situation of monogamy has gradually begun to gain popularity among the people. Zhu Jianshen and Qiao Mu even  One hundred years old, Zhu Jianshen was eighty-one years old. After all the concubines in the harem had died of old age, he went to the newly established Civil Affairs Bureau in person to get the first marriage certificate and officially announced the implementation of monogamy.

    It took another thirty years for Qiao Mu to pass away.

    Zhu Jianshen, after witnessing the vicissitudes of life, finally fully delegated power to the cabinet and established a democratic supervision and newspaper and public opinion supervision system.

    He officially abdicated the throne and passed it on to his great-great-grandson.

    The initial rule of Xujun began.

    It is not that you are emptied out by hundreds of officials and become an empty king.

    Rather, he voluntarily becomes a false king.

    At this moment, the world is at peace and the people live in peace.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
