There was no need to mention the outcome of that Imperial Guard.
Anyway, Dorgon was so angry that he almost tore down the camp. His face was green.
After that, Dorgon didn't come out of the city to supervise the army. Instead, he returned to the camp and gave a death order to the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army. They would see the fall of Beijing the next day.
Facing the furious Dorgon, no one wanted to die, so they all returned to attack the city.
However, the strength of the siege was something else.
It was still fine in the morning. The soldiers of the Eight Banners and the surrendered Manchurian soldiers all attacked the city with all their might.
The morning passed.
As long as one wasn't a fool, they would know what was going on.
The royal guards on the city wall were there. If you didn't come up, they wouldn't care about you.
As long as you dared to climb up the city wall, you would die.
Therefore, after the 26,000 people who had died in the morning's siege, no one attacked the city in the afternoon.
It wasn't that no one was attacking the city. The siege continued.
However, the soldiers did not charge up the city wall.
Even if the ladder was set up, the soldiers would fall down when they reached a height of more than two meters.
Yes, that's right. He fell down by himself.
If he didn't want to die or be punished by military law, he could only be an actor.
He wasn't the only actor. The Manchu soldiers below were also wielding sabers and spears. Xia Jiba waved them around, fighting with the air.
As a result, a very funny scene appeared.
The battle on the battlefield was very intense, but neither side lost anyone.
The shouts of fighting and killing continued, but as long as the soldiers climbed the ladder, they would encounter the wall of air about two meters away and fall down. Then, they would slash at the air below.
Meanwhile, the royal guards on the city wall were watching the group of film emperors below expressionlessly.
When Liu Yu saw this situation, he almost laughed to death.
It was only because Dorgon wasn't outside. Otherwise, he would have vomited blood from anger.
"You play with them. I want to go back.”
Liu Yu watched for a while and felt bored, so he left the corner tower.
If he had the time, he might as well study how to govern the country.
The group of soldiers below the city wall had terrible acting skills. They were even worse than the extras in the anti-Japanese dramas he had watched.
He couldn't look at her at all. He was laughing so hard that his abdominal muscles hurt.
Back in the Forbidden City, Liu Yu called Li Ji over to discuss with him how to govern the country.
To Liu Yu, conquering the world was not a problem.
However, the problem was how to govern the world. That was not a simple matter.
To govern a country, one must first have money. The Ming Dynasty did not have money, otherwise, it would not have ended up like this.
"Li Ji, you've been looking through the information of the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Revenue these past few days. How much is the tax collected in the Ming Dynasty? Which industries did the main taxes come from?”Liu Yu asked.
"My lord, according to my investigation these few days, the Ming Dynasty's tax revenue is a huge problem.
In the Ming Dynasty, the income from the two taxes was 22.8 million dan, while the income from the salt tax, tea tax, city ship tax, passage tax, and business tax was 3.4 million taels of silver.
However, in reality, the Ming Dynasty had only received 15 million dan of grain from the tax revenue, and 800,000 taels of silver from the various business taxes.
Most importantly, the Ming Dynasty's business tax was only 1.5%, and the gentry class did not pay taxes, but they still occupied most of the cultivated land.”Li Ji replied.
Liu Yu rolled his eyes. Although he knew that the end of the Ming Dynasty was a trap, he didn't expect it to be so.
No wonder Late Ming was a Hell Mode dungeon. It was too difficult to save Ming Dynasty.
"Then the business tax will be categorized according to different industries. The lowest value added tax is 10%, the brothel industry will collect 55%, and the customs will collect 50%-150%.”
Liu Yu thought for a moment and asked.
Although he didn't explain it clearly, Li Ji could understand Liu Yu's thoughts. After all, taxes could be set directly in the system.
"Lord, according to your tax plan, Great Ming's business tax should be able to reach around 550 million to 800 million taels.”Li Ji thought for a moment and replied.
"550 million to 800 million taels of silver, not bad.”
Liu Yu nodded. Although it did not meet his expectations, it was still not bad.
Of course, he knew that Li Ji's estimate was only a theoretical figure. It was not really possible to collect that much tax money.
After all, after he unified the world, the gentry class would definitely be completely eradicated.
At that time, the richest people in the world would be gone, and their purchasing power would be reduced by 90%.
The business system would almost collapse, and there would be no business tax at all.
However, he did not care. If he did not kill these people, he would not be at ease.
Although the business system would collapse, he could still get more than a billion taels of silver.
When the time came, they would distribute the land and exempt taxes. They would do a lot of basic construction and spend the money on the people. As long as the people had money, the country would have taxes.
Liu Yu and Li Ji had been discussing the reform of the country for the entire afternoon. The methods of the Ming Dynasty would definitely not work.
The modern system was too advanced and could not be used.
Therefore, what kind of national policy the Han Dynasty would implement next needed to be discussed continuously and thought through in all aspects.
At night, Liu Yu received a message from Chen Cheng after dinner.
He had already brought 30,000 imperial guards back to Tianjin and could rush to the capital at any time.
"Rest for a night in Tianjin and wait for my orders tomorrow morning.”
Since Chen Cheng's army had returned, then tomorrow would be the day to wipe out the Manchu army.
Liu Yu looked out of the window and felt a little excited.
Killing Li Zicheng would only be considered as attacking his own people, so he was not happy.
However, he was very excited to fight against Dorgon, the Eight Banners Army that was stained with the blood of the Han people.
"Tomorrow, none of you can escape."
