After 13 years in office, legend has it that she was assassinated by Lv Siniang, a chivalrous woman, at the age of 58. (Legend has it that Lv Siniang entered the Palace three times, and with his wonderful flying skill, one night, while Yongzheng was asleep, Lv Siniang cut off his head. Now there is still a golden head of Yongzheng in the Beijing Museum. Yongzheng had to be buried without a head, so he asked a craftsman to make a golden head for him.) He died naturally and was buried in Tailing, Hebei Province (now Yixian West, Hebei Province).
Yongzheng is a very complicated and contradictory historical figure. He is an outstanding politician who is brave in innovation and diligent in managing politics. He reformed and rectified the accumulated malpractices in Kangxi's later years, swept away the decadent style, and made the official administration clear, the rule stable, the national treasury full and the people's burden reduced. But after all, he was a feudal emperor, with great faults and limitations, and his succession to the throne was also very doubtful.
Yongzheng's main achievements are
spreading the land into the mu. This is a major tax reform. China has been taxed since ancient times, and adult men, rich or poor, have to pay poll tax. Yongzheng carried out the reform, spread the per capita tax into mu, and determined the amount of tax according to the amount of mu. Those who have more land will pay more, those who have less land will receive less, and those who have no land will not receive it. It means "spreading one's money into the ground", and the poll tax was abolished in one fell swoop. This measure is beneficial to the poor and not to the landlords, and it is a major reform in the history of China's finance and taxation. Return envy to the public. In ancient China, silver and copper were used as currencies. When collecting taxes, silver and copper were lost in exchange, casting, preservation and transportation, so there was a certain surcharge when collecting taxes. This surcharge, called "consumption envy" or "fire consumption", has always been levied by local counties as the extra income of local offices and officials. Consumption envy can't set the amount of levy, and counties can do whatever they want, and they will be heavily levied. Some of them will take one or two taxes and consume five or six yuan, which is a heavy burden for the people. Yongzheng carried out the policy of "returning envy to the public", and changed this surcharge into statutory tax and fixed tax, which was managed by the governor in a unified way. The tax income, in addition to office expenses, was used as a "yanglianyin", which greatly increased the salaries of officials. In this way, it not only lightens the burden on the people, but also ensures the implementation of a clean government. Therefore, Yongzheng said, "Since this law was enacted, the official administration has been clarified a little, so that it is unnecessary to be bothered."
