Chapter 1038

The date of Zhang Yu's becoming emperor has been decided, which is a historical event and may mark the complete extinction of the Han Dynasty.

Today, although there is no emperor in the Great Han Dynasty, the name of the state is still there, and there are many great Han clans.

Once someone raises the big Han's flag, the big Han can still exist in form.

But at this time, another emperor will appear in China.

Zhang Yu immediately asked the intelligence agencies to take action. If the news goes out, there will be people who are unwilling to be lonely and want to do something.

Then let them do it in their own territory and dispose of it when they find it.

Zhang Yu asks Guo Jia to pay close attention to it. Once it is found, he will watch it secretly, and then report it to him.

If Zhang Yu doesn't do it, he will destroy them once he does.

A few days later, Zhang Yu asked about the preparation progress again.

"Lord, there are a few problems. You call yourself emperor. We should promulgate some policies, such as amnesty, tax reduction and so on." Gu Yong said.

Zhang Yu nodded and asked the crowd.

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

Chen Gong said: "Lord, it's a great event to call the emperor. Amnesty can be granted to the whole world. Let's release those non felons. In addition, tax reduction can be appropriately reduced. This mainly depends on our financial support."

In general, tax reduction is not as effective as a sword. Now it is far from realizing the great cause of reunification, and the army still needs a lot of money and food.

"Well, some prisoners will be released and commuted, and those prisoners will also be pardoned. But they can't go back and continue to build roads. They are just treated the same as our people, and they can get the wages they deserve."

There are tens of thousands of prisoners of war. They are still building roads.

The difference is that most of the prisoners of war belong to Yuan Shao's family. Now yuan shaodu has perished. If they are released, they have no place to go. They can only become the people under Zhang Yu's rule. In this way, Zhang Yu simply pardons them.

Forgive them, let them become their own people, kill two birds with one stone.

"In addition, tax reduction is also necessary. All taxes in China should be reduced to 25%, including those of the landlords and the government. The total amount should not exceed 25%." Zhang Yu emphasized it.

Several people can't help but be stunned. This is Zhang Yu's plan to dig a hole for several princes.

All over China, even if it's not their own territory, tax reduction.

What qualifications does Zhang Yu have to let others cut taxes?

Of course, Zhang Yu is not qualified. Although he will be emperor at that time, other princes will not recognize him.

At that time, it will be a piece of paper, not effective.

But a few people understand that this is powerful.

On Zhang Yu's side, the total tax is only 25%. Why should they pay 50% or even 80% of the tax?

Several other vassals, the common people almost did not have their own land, they were all farming for the landlords.

However, the landlords have to collect taxes. After collecting taxes, the government has to collect taxes. Generally, more than 50% of the taxes are collected.

50% tax. That's killing.

Zhang Yu raised the tax rate before, which is far lower than them.

Cao Cao's income is relatively small. He takes 30.5%. But after he takes it, the landlords will take another wave of income, and there will not be much in the hands of the common people.

Zhang Yu's tax cut is 20.5% at most.

They don't cut taxes?

Yes, Zhang Yu will publicize through centralized channels. At that time, the people will know that the tax here is so low, why are they so high.

It's against him.

If you don't dare to fight back, it's OK. It will break out one day. Who will the people support when Zhang Yu fights back?

Why should the taxes of these princes be so high?

This is also the wisdom of Zhang Yu's policy.

It was stipulated that all taxes should be reduced, but the princes would not listen. The people were willing to support the emperor Zhang Yu.

This is a big problem for them.

Zhang Yu began to let people plan this incident, which is not a small matter, affecting all the princes.

This will certainly make them feel bad for a while. At the same time, it will also tell them how strong Zhang Yu has been and force them to carry out reform and lower taxes.

Zhang Yu is against all the landlords, that is, against most of the aristocratic families. Zhang Yu is not "Lord, although we have more troops and more wars, now we have more sources of tax and finance, so tax reduction will not have much impact." Gu Yong said.

Reducing taxes means reducing income, which is a big test for Zhang Yu, who has been fighting for a long time.

But now the overseas output has been increasing, especially in Fusang area, Zhangyu is just predatory mining.

With a large amount of wealth flowing in, Zhang Yu has the confidence to cut taxes.

Zhang Yu's pottery, tea and silk are more large-scale, and a large number of them are sold to the region of China.

India has a huge population and is a huge market.

That's it. Zhang Yu can support it, so he will cut taxes.

After confirming that it would not have a significant impact on the territory, Zhang Yu ordered it to start.

"Well, let's do it as soon as possible. From the intelligence side, fengxiao will arrange it."

Guo Jia has always been the head of intelligence, but in fact, about half of the intelligence is in Zhang Yu's hands.

Two intelligence systems, mutual supervision.

Guo Jia agreed to come down and tell Zhang Yu, "Lord, we have received an important message."

Between Zhang Yu's doubts, Guo Jia said: "three months ago, Xun Yu left Xuchang and went to Jiangdong first. He stayed in Jiangdong University for a few days, and then went all the way north. Now he has been in Qingzhou for a few days. His subordinates judge that he will come to new Beiping."

Xun Yu, Wang Zuo's talent, has always been an important minister around Cao Cao.

But when Cao Cao gave up Liu Xie and let Liu Xie die in Luoyang, Xun Yu gave up on Cao Cao and escaped secretly.

Zhang Yu was surprised.

"Unexpectedly, pay close attention to him, but don't disturb him. When he arrives in Youzhou, I will see him in person."

Needless to say, Zhang Yu was very surprised that Xun Yu could escape.

In fact, if it wasn't for the absence of Cao Cao and his important officials, Xun Yu was almost under house arrest and had no chance to come out.

Cao Cao was very aware of Xun Yu's talent and would never let him go.

However, at that time, he did not care about the abandoned Xun Yu.

Xun Yu was determined to help Cao Cao.

If it wasn't for cherishing talents and the Xunzi family's important position in him, Cao Cao even wanted to attack Xunzi. He couldn't get it himself and would not let others get it.

However, Xun Yu escaped to Zhang Yu.

Xun Yu went to Jiangdong first. He wanted to go to Jiangdong to see what kind of existence it was and why such a big change happened in a few years.
