    Liu Yuan stayed there, saying it was not the case, and even not saying it was not the case.

    Zhou Weiguo and Liu Zhihui looked at him with smiles, waiting for him to express his position.

    "Brother, you still haven't expressed your stance? My sister-in-law is still waiting for you to express your stance!"

    Liu Zhihui took a sip of wine, looked at Liu Yuan and said with a smile.

    you do not say!  Next to her, Cao Ying's face turned redder than a red apple.

    Liu Yuan swallowed and then faltered and was speechless.

    Zhou Weiguo and Liu Zhihui were watching the joke.

    ?¡­

    While Zhou Weiguo and the others were watching Liu Yuan's joke, Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei were walking in the snow outside Xuzhou City.

    Although Xuzhou is called the north, because it is close to the south, it doesn¡¯t snow heavily now.

    The snow on the ground is already melting.

    Unlike in the Northeast, it is still covered with thick snow, and from time to time there will be a river snow for you.

    Li Yunlong leaned over and grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and placed it in front of Chu Yunfei.

    "Old Chu, look at it! The snow has already begun to melt. If my guess is right. In a few days, the snow will almost melt.

    By mid-March, even the snow in North China will have almost melted.  By then our armored forces will be able to run across the North China Plain.  "

    Chu Yunfei looked at the snow in Li Yunlong's hand, and sure enough, it had begun to slowly melt.

    "Well! It's true! The snow melts, and our new war is about to begin. Lao Li, are you ready?"

    During this period, the personal relationship between Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong increased sharply, so the names also changed.

    "Ready? I, Lao Li, have been waiting for a long time!"

    "What a long wait! I, Chu, have also been waiting for a long time!"

    In the next few days, Zhou Weiguo began to make plans for Nanjing's policies.

    Last year, there was no plan for specific people's livelihood. This year, Zhou Weiguo needs to make an accurate plan for them.

    First, the issue of agricultural tax.

    In this era, China was still a large agricultural country, and the main source of tax revenue was agriculture.

    Zhou Weiguo conducted a survey on the people below and found that they generally did not save enough food for a year.

    Once there is a year of famine, the only thing left to do is eat wild vegetables to fill the stomach.

    Therefore, in view of this, the agricultural tax will be reduced.

    "Compared with other agricultural taxes of 40% or even 50%, and some charging 60% of agricultural taxes, Zhou Weiguo lowered it to 20%.  At the same time, we encourage land reclamation and farming.

    For newly reclaimed land, no tax will be collected within two years.  After two years, an agricultural tax of 15% is charged in the third year.

    In this way, the 20% agricultural tax is not collected until the fifth year.

    Second, the issue of land annexation.

    This is a very serious problem that has existed in all dynasties and generations of China.

    Especially in the Jiangnan area, there are many wealthy landlords, and the Zhou family is a very big landlord.

    Zhou Weiguo knew that among the many fields in the south of the Yangtze River, more than 60% of the land belonged to wealthy landlords.

    There are not many fields in the hands of ordinary people.

    Many common people have become tenants of landlords. They have no land themselves, and they can only get a bite of food by farming land for those wealthy landlords.

    ?This will cause a big problem.

    For the time being, it was impossible for Zhou Weiguo to touch those landlords and wealthy families.

    Because he himself comes from a wealthy landowner family, and so does the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium behind him that supports him.

    " If he openly touches these people's cakes, he will have achieved his goal, but the losses will be considerable. This is not what Zhou Weiguo wants.

    We have to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

    Then Zhou Weiguo began to read ancient books, not that Zhou Weiguo wanted to find a solution from them.

    But Zhou Weiguo wanted to know from these ancient books what methods they had used and why they failed!

    Let¡¯s learn from history!

    First, we need to know which methods have failed in history and why.

    In this way, Zhou Weiguo would not make mistakes in his administration.

    Zhou Weiguo kept reading ancient books. After reading all the books, he discovered a problem.

    Throughout the ages, reforms have been successful, it can also be said that only Shang Yang was the most successful.

    Shang Yang¡¯s reforms, although he died in the end, his laws have continued.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    They all failed, they all ended up in vain, and they all became failures in the end.

    During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, the Qingli Dukes¡¯ Reform and Wang Anshi¡¯s Reform were both attacks on the civil service system of the dynasty and the entire scholarly community.

    "Zhang Juzheng's reform in the Ming Dynasty targeted businessmen.

    ??The Maoxu Reform in modern times was to strike from the nobles and themselves.

    They all have one thing in common: they want to kill their own people and focus on the country.

    It¡¯s like three people sharing a piece of cake.

    The person sharing the cake naturally hopes that he can share more, but no matter how he divides it, it will be unfair.  Everyone wants more.

    ??Then this change was equivalent to changing the cake to another person. He wanted all the cake, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among others.

    How could he withstand two people dealing with him?

    In the end, he only got a good punch.

    This is why those reforms failed.

    Zhou Weiguo discovered a problem after carefully studying Shang Yang's reforms.

    That was Shang Yang¡¯s reform. Although it violated their interests, Shang Yang gave another way so that they could protect their interests.

    And it is possible to grow, so even if the nobles object, the opposition is not too fierce.

    So that Shang Yang really succeeded in his reform, although he also died after Qin Xiaogong died in the end.

    But everyone continued to use this method, which shows that the nobles recognized Shang Yang's reforms.

    The difference between Shang Yang¡¯s reform and other reforms was the adoption of expansionary war.

    Other reforms are all about working on a piece of cake, but Shang Yang is trying to expand the cake to share.

    If you feel dissatisfied and feel that there is less cake, then go grab the cake and share it.

    In this way, Shang Yang did not violate their real interests in essence. On the contrary, under such a law, their interests are actually growing.

    This is why after Shang Yang's death, they continued to use the methods reformed by Shang Yang.

    After thinking about this, Zhou Weiguo understood.

    Anyone who wants to take action on their own core interest groups will ultimately fail.

    On the contrary, if it is like Shang Yang's reform, it will succeed.

    After seeing this clearly, Zhou Weiguo had land in his mind, and how to solve the problem of land annexation. Zhou Weiguo also had some ideas in his mind.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
