Chapter 1048
Zhang Yu proclaimed himself emperor, and the imperial decree was issued.
That night, the whole city celebrated together.
"Your Majesty is merciful, not only amnesty the world, but also reduce taxes. Once the reduction is half of the tax."
"Yes, yes, our tax rate is already very low. Compared with before, we can have enough food every year."
"Your Majesty, none of the previous emperors could satisfy us."
"It would have been nice if His Majesty had been made the emperor earlier."
Ordinary people are the most honest. Zhang Yu's policy can feed them well, so there is nothing they don't support.
The tax cut is only half of it, but for ordinary people, I don't know how much kindness it is.
When Zhang Yu ascended the throne, he naturally wanted to consolidate his position.
There are many people who may secretly oppose him.
However, as long as the majority of the people support him, Zhang Yu has unlimited potential.
Officials at all levels are almost all trained by Zhang Yu, and this will not lead to the fact that the aristocratic families can collude to hide Zhang Yu's knowledge and bring disaster to the place.
With the support of the people, Zhang Yu's position will only become more stable.
As for businessmen, although they don't have much land, they don't rely on land for food.
But Zhang Yu ascended the throne, established the Ministry of Commerce, and promulgated many decrees with imperial edicts.
This is great news for them.
In fact, the merchant group is still very afraid, because the existence of power can deprive them of everything at any time.
That's why there are only so many aristocratic families in this era. After making money, businessmen also want to buy land, study, and let their children become officials.
However, Zhang Yu promulgated a series of regulations to strictly limit the illegal behavior of businessmen, and at the same time give them a high degree of protection.
If you don't break the law, it's fine. Even if you break the law, follow the rules. The ruler can't deprive everything at will.
This gives them peace of mind.
What Zhang Yu did was also to encourage businessmen to go out, because there are opportunities everywhere.
Without guarantee, how dare they go out.
Zhang Yu focused on restricting collusion between officials and businessmen. Once found out, officials would never be able to recover, and businessmen would be severely punished.
At the same time, it is even more unacceptable to use power to blackmail businessmen, and you will be punished even more severely.
The peasants were happy, and so were the businessmen.
Workers, on the other hand, have benefited early on, and many of them rely on wages to support their families.
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have all benefited from Zhang Yu, and finally they are the aristocratic family.
These aristocratic families were severely restricted by Zhang Yu. They didn't have a lot of land, and they couldn't raise followers, and they couldn't gather crowds to control one side of the government.
In this way, the aristocratic family has declined, and they either become businessmen, or study and become ordinary aristocratic families.
In the evening, Zhang Yu held a meeting with several cabinets.
Proclaiming the emperor is just a node, which determines Zhang Yu's status.
"I proclaim myself emperor, and everything is running. The cabinet must implement a wave of policies strongly. The cabinet has been in operation for so long, and the focus is to start inspecting some places."
The cabinet system has never been perfected to perfect, and many people have not yet adapted to it, especially at the county and county level, which has to work with various departments.
"The entire cabinet is in action, and two people are out of Beijing to check."
Zhang Yu decided to let Jushou focus on inspecting the Ministry of Agriculture. After all, agriculture is still the theme of this era, to see if the Ministry of Agriculture at all levels is running well.
People who can't do it can be replaced, and whoever makes troubles can be replaced. Zhang Yu has just become emperor, and he really needs to make an example of others. Whoever jumps out at this time will be unlucky.
"Tian Feng, check the Ministry of Officials. Now that our cabinet system has been in operation, whether the various departments are cooperating in place and whether they are operating effectively. Once problems are found, we will attack with an iron fist."
Zhang Yu appointed two departments, focusing on inspections.
This is a combination of kindness and strength. Just as he ascended the throne, he was given a big gift package, and then came a heavy blow.
Zhang Yu held a cabinet meeting very late.
As for safety and security, it was also what Zhang Yu valued most.
His spies must spread throughout the entire force.
At the same time, military forces at all levels must also be vigilant.
If someone wants to make trouble, they can only rely on this period of time.
If this period of time passes, then there will be no problem.
Zhang Yu has just proclaimed himself emperor, and if they don't make trouble, there will be no chance in the future.
From now on, Zhang Yu's power will only become more stable.
So, this period of time is very important.
Zhang Yu presided over the cabinet meeting, taking all aspects into consideration.
To strike with an iron fist, but also to be gentle.
Only in this way can it last for a long time.
It was already late when the meeting ended, and Zhang Yu was a little tired.
In the evening, Zhang Yu went to find Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
"Husband, you are so busy to become the emperor, and you say you want to be a foolish emperor every day, but you have been a foolish emperor for a few days." Xiao Qiao said dissatisfiedly leaning on Zhang Yu's arms.
If there are too many things to do, Zhang Yu will spend less time with them.
Da Qiao on the side said with a smile: "My husband does have that destiny, but even if he doesn't have the talent of being a faint king, he wouldn't be able to do it even if he wanted to."
Proclaimed emperor, of course he has the fate of being a foolish emperor, but he has no strength, and no one has the ability to be a foolish emperor.
Being a foolish king is not something you can do if you want to.
If it's not good, my life will be gone.
He had just proclaimed himself emperor, so there were too many uncertain factors.
It is not at this time to be a foolish king.
You have to wait for the empire to be strong before you can become a faint king.
"Two little girls, dare to laugh at me, today I will let you all know how powerful I am."
Zhang Yu also frightened them.
Although Zhang Yu became emperor, the two of them were still playing around with Zhang Yu as before.
Zhang Yu is still the same Zhang Yu who loves them and protects them.
At this time, he finally proclaimed himself emperor and became the master of the world.
It is a big festival for Zhang Yu to proclaim himself emperor.
The people are all at home like a festival, killing chickens and sheep, singing and dancing.
This is the will of the people.
Zhang Yu can make them live well, so he is naturally the emperor.
On this day, Zhang Yu's site was full of cheers.
Other places slowly turned into a storm.
"Your Majesty has decreed that the tax has been reduced, and we only need to pay [-]% of the tax from now on."
"Which emperor is he now?"
"Which emperor doesn't matter, it is the most practical to cut our taxes, and in total, even if it is handed over to the boss, the total cannot exceed [-]%."
"Great, great."
Several princes began to spread the news. They didn't know who the emperor was, but if they didn't know who the emperor was, they could just obey the order.
These are things that Zhang Yu has arranged for a long time, let them implement them.
Ordinary people have no idea that the emperor can't control them.
Some aristocratic families and landowners saw the people cheering, so they sent people to inform them and told them that the emperor had no control over their place.
"A bunch of mud legs, listen, the emperor is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, not the emperor of our Han Dynasty. Even the emperor of the Han Dynasty can't control me. The land rent is still [-]%. If you don't pay it, you will leave."
"Tell you, whoever dares to refuse to pay will be killed."
A landlord in the countryside called all the people over and asked them to pay enough land rent by then.
It's fall soon, harvest is soon, taxes are due.
"How dare you resist the decree? His Majesty's decree made it very clear. Whoever dares to disrespect is a rebellion against the decree. Everyone who gets it will be punished."
"This person resists the decree, kill me."
I don't know who shouted a few times, but the people rushed up together.
The other party was unprepared and did not know that these people actually dared to rebel. Under the turbulent wave of people, the landlord was beaten to death, and many of his thugs were also beaten to death.
This matter is not over yet, and it has the tendency to expand. Seeing that the landlord was beaten to death and the people were acting according to the order, they suddenly felt no fear.
