As the name suggests, the one-whip method simplifies the procedures for collecting taxes and labor.

First, the land tax and complicated labor and miscellaneous taxes are combined and collected uniformly; second, part of the land tax is placed on the land acres, which is levied based on the population and according to the land acres; third, after the land tax is combined, all the land tax is levied. Except for the government's necessary rice and wheat, the rest is paid in silver; all the labor taxes are subject to bank differences, which confirms the dominant position of money in tax collection.

Its benefits are obvious. First, it simplifies the tax collection procedures, objectively playing a role in equalizing taxes and servicing, and promoting social and economic development. It not only restricts officials from making clever names and levying taxes and servicing, thereby reducing the burden on farmers and increasing their production enthusiasm. Secondly, it implements the method of collecting taxes and servicing silver, adapting to and promoting the development of the commodity economy after the middle of the Ming Dynasty. In order to pay silver, farmers and handicraftsmen will inevitably put a large amount of products into the market and promote commercial prosperity. Corvée has deducted silver, and farmers can freely leave the land and become free labor, creating conditions for the germination and development of capitalism. Finally, it also promoted the progress of China's feudal tax system, making the transformation from cap tax to land tax since the two tax law, laying the foundation for the reform of diversion of acres in the early Qing Dynasty, thus making China a world-renowned population country.

This law was quickly counterattacked by all walks of life because he touched the fundamental interests of the landlords and also touched the pockets of many officials. This made many people hate Zhang Juzheng to the core. In the end, the whip method was completely abolished shortly after Zhang Juzheng's death, and his family was also exiled, which was a way to calm the anger in various places.

But that was the problem of the Ming Dynasty, because the historical environment at that time did not allow such regulations to be implemented. The contradictions in the Ming Dynasty were very sharp, and the officials were poorer and the people were even poorer. In addition, the emperor was not as good as the other one, so the whole country was always in a strange state, but at this time the Song Dynasty was completely different.

The political environment of the Song Dynasty was much more relaxed, not to mention that the southern landlords and chaebols were basically cleaned up at this time. They surrendered to Zhang Hongfan before, but when Fan Wenhu seized power, they dealt with them directly. Thousands of people were thrown into the sea on the Yashan battlefield. Xia Gui did not stop this measure. After seeing Zhang Hongfan died in battle, Xia Gui had already followed Fan Wenhu's lead, so these people in the south had basically been wiped out.

This also caused Zhang Shun to have a large amount of free land at this time. At this time, because he was massacred and the land left behind after escaping from war and fleeing, it was very unsuitable to collect the capitation tax at this time. Therefore, Zhang Shun decided to abolish this tax policy that had lasted for two thousand years to encourage the people to have more children.

Since a large amount of land is in the hands of Zhang Shun, the court, the biggest resistance of the whip method has changed from a big landlord to an official, but those people are not a problem with Zhang Shun.

Zhang Hongfan's attack along the way was a baptism of removing false and real existence. A large number of officials surrendered to Zhang Hongfan one after another. However, with Zhang Hongfan's army surrendering and Zhang Shijie was wiped out, all the officials had become prisoners. Zhang Shun naturally did not have a good sense of their feelings. More than 95% of the officials who used to be sent to the mines. Since they like to be slaves for others so much, then they should fulfill their wishes. All the young and old will go there to be slaves.

Of course, there are some officials who are more knowledgeable, or who surrender to save the people, etc. Although they are all left to use, they are not used as chief officials, because the chief officials in this matter basically take responsibility at the political commissar level who came out of the army. Although they are not necessarily the best officials, they are all the most determined Zhang Shun's orders, so they have no sense of resistance to this decree.

Zhang Shun had no better way for the remaining officials who had never surrendered. However, Zhang Shun believed that since they could stand on the firmest stance in the face of life and death, they would definitely be able to accept such a test. After all, the Song Dynasty was never stingy with officials.

The Song Dynasty may be the first era to create a high salary to support integrity. For example, Bao Zheng, who has been famous for all ages, had a very amazing salary in his annual salary.

When Bao Zheng sat down in Kaifeng Prefecture in the South Yaya, he wore three hats on his head, namely the direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion, and the right lieutenant of the Kaifeng Prefecture. According to the "Jiayou Lu Order" issued by the Jiayou period of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, Bao Zheng, as a direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion, had a monetary income of 1,656 guan, as well as ten pieces of silk, thirty-four pieces of silk, two pieces of silk, and one hundred liang of cotton.

According to "History of the Song Dynasty? Official Records", Bao Zheng was the first in Kaifeng Prefecture. He received thirty stones of monthly grain every month, including fifteen stone rice and fifteen stone wheat. In addition, there were twenty bundles of firewood and forty bundles of hay every month, each bundle was about thirteen kilograms of later generations, and 1,500 stag of ministerial money.

As a senior local official who served as a vassal state outside the court, the court allocated Bao Zheng twenty hectares of land, that is, two thousand acres of arable land, which allowed him to collect rent every year without paying grain. The two thousand acres of arable land are estimated to be one stone per acre, and there is also two thousand s of rice per year. After checking the Jiayou Lu Order, Quan Zhizhi Kaifeng Prefecture has a monthly increase of 100% and 15 scales of charcoal were distributed to each winter, with each scale of about fifteen kilograms.

According to historical materials, Bao Zheng's annual income is exchanged for money, which is roughly more than 1,000 guan, plus more than 20,000 guan, the total is more than 22,000 guan. This is the annual salary when Bao Zheng was in Kaifeng Prefecture. According to the purchasing power of 400 guan copper coins at that time and the purchasing power of 250 guan in later generations, the total of 2,200 guan copper coins is about 1,367 million yuan. Think about how terrible it is.

The income of a month is more than one million, which is all regular income. Just imagine how big the investment it takes to bribe him, and how huge the return it will be for such a huge investment. Therefore, Dasong is still very effective in maintaining high salaries and maintaining integrity.
