Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 276 Counting the cattle and losing the valley (attached words from the heart)

The weather of the Little Ice Age is unpredictable...

Before winter came, the sky began to snow heavily.

Throughout the morning, the heavy snow showed no sign of stopping, and the weather turned sharply cold. Countless people complained about the ghostly weather.

Hulao Pass, which is not far from Luoyang City, is already covered in whiteness. The flakes of snow swaying in the air, like dandelions, fall layer by layer on this ancient pass, making this mottled and grand Sekiguchi... put on a new suit.

The defenders of Hulao Pass will open the gates of the pass on time to allow merchants and common people to pass through.

It's just that, under the heavy snow, the faces of these soldiers who were breathing white gas were frozen... They crawled into the door openings, holding their hands, ready to check the flow of people entering and leaving the city.

It's just that with such weather, there are very few people entering the city.

Outside the city gate... the white snow is endless, and the fresh snow has not yet been trampled and destroyed...

only…

At the end of the snow-covered official road, the sound of horseshoes came in a hurry.

This made the defenders cheer up... In the confusion, under the fluttering snow flakes, figures of a man and a horse emerged like ghosts. The knights on the horses had already frozen to death, while the horses... had four hooves. Countless snow piles up, snorting in the mouth.

"Qingzhou Urgent...Qingzhou Urgent..."

Following the knight's voice, the defenders who subconsciously intercepted saw clearly the waist card raised by the knight. It was only handed over to the messenger when the states and counties sent an emergency report.

This is an urgent report from eight hundred miles...

The keen gatekeeper knew that something serious must have happened in Qingzhou only by seeing the opponent's appearance.

However, recently...Qingzhou has not been peaceful.

The Yellow Turban Army is dormant there, claiming to have tens of thousands of people... Looting merchants, occupying the mountain as king, robbing along the way, and almost rebelling again!
Is it...

The gatekeeper shuddered subconsciously. Could it be that Qingzhou rebelled again?

How many days of peace have passed.

"Hey, I heard that your wife's natal family is in Qingzhou?"

"That's right...if I hadn't read this urgent report, I'd feel terrified and terrified... But don't be rebellious or something. The emperor is not afraid, and the officials are not afraid, but we ordinary people are afraid!"

"Oh... God bless you! Speaking of which, there are many chaotic countries in Qingzhou... The people are also suffering!"

In the discussion between the two soldiers, the sound of horseshoes has gradually dissipated.

Looking at the back of the knight rushing to Luoyang, the two guards inevitably sighed.

God bless…

Qingzhou, don't dare to have another accident!

...

...

Luoyang Imperial Palace, North Palace, and Deyang Palace.

Today's morning is going on as usual.

Liu Yuliu Dahonghe arrived in Luoyang last night, so he did not participate in today's early court...

In the early morning, all the officials played one after another as usual.

"Your Majesty, Liu Dahongyu conquered Wuhuan in the first battle and expanded the territory of the Han Dynasty to Liaodong. Now a large number of people are willing to move north. There is a document from the Youzhou government, saying that they implore His Majesty to set the taxation method for the land in Liaodong as soon as possible..."

Qiao Xuan was the first to report...

"Follow the rest of the taxation method!" Liu Hong replied directly.

this…

Qiao Xuan paused for a moment, then continued: "In the past, the method of tax collection for farmland was to pay a fixed amount of tax per mu, but Liu Dahongxi mentioned in his letter that this taxation method has some disadvantages... If it is a bumper harvest year, the farmland collected by the court It's less, if it's a disaster year, the farmers can't afford the fixed land tax..."

With that said...

It's not just a land issue in Liaodong.

Liu Hong's eyeballs blinked, and he asked Qiao Xuan, "Since Liu Dahonglu mentioned this matter, it must be...he already has a solution?"

really…

Qiao Xuan bowed his hand, "Liu Dahonglu proposed to try it in Liaodong, according to the method of counting oxen and transporting grain...as long as it is the arable land of the imperial court, the farmers will plant it. If they bring their own oxen, they will be divided according to the harvest. For the cattle, the account will be divided according to the harvest... In this way, the imperial court will not reduce the harvest due to a good harvest, and the people will not be unable to afford the heavy land tax due to a bad year... This is a win-win move."

call…

Qiao Xuan's words made all the ministers raise their eyes.

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with the fundamental interests of these ministers. After all, what is being dealt with is the land of the court... not the land of the clan, so... how to divide it... the ministers will not object.

On the contrary, Liu Hong blinked his eyeballs, he felt that this matter... was reliable.

"It's time to lose the valley..."

He muttered...

It is equivalent to this decree to solve the two major pain points of the court and the people.

Liu Hong nodded with great interest, "We can implement it in Liaodong first...to see the effect, and if it is good, we can spread the plan to the whole empire."

"Here!" Qiao Xuan cupped his hands...

Qiao Xuan’s memorandum is over... Next, Yang Ci also made a memo, "Your Majesty, Liu Dahongyu defeated Wuhuan in one battle. It is true... the whole world celebrates, but it also caused a bigger trouble!"

Well…

Liu Hong looked at Yang Ci: "What's the trouble?"

"Xianbei!" Yang Ci's tone was decisive... "According to the rumors, recently...Xianbei gathered near Yanmen Pass, ready to make a move. Xianbei Wang Tanshihuai even arrived near Yanmen in person, probably this winter...they..."

Before Yang Ci could finish speaking...

Liu Hong's eyes narrowed: "What Yang Situ means is that my big man will be afraid of him Xianbei?"

Uh…

This sentence made Yang Ci a little speechless, unable to find the taste of Bei.

"Your Majesty, I don't mean that..."

"Hmph!" Liu Hong snorted coldly. "Since I succeeded to the throne, for more than ten years, Xianbei has invaded the border in winter every year. I can bear it no matter how hard I can bear it. I can bear it until the end. I can't bear it! Three years ago, I sent Xia Yu and Tian Ying to lead an army of [-]. Went out of Yanmen to attack Xianbei in the north, but was defeated by Tan Shihuai...It seems that Tan Shihuai thought I was afraid of a big man?"

Speaking of which...

Liu Hong got up suddenly, "Hehe, maybe at this time last year, I didn't have the confidence, but this year is different, Liu Dahonglu will win the battle against Wuhuan, so it's fine if he doesn't come from Xianbei, if he wants to come...just right! There are countless brave soldiers and horses on the border, Liaodong, how can it be rewarded? The Xianbei of Nuoda is the stage for my brave warriors to gallop!"

overbearing…

It seems that the emperor Liu Hong of today is completely different from that of that moment. He has become more domineering and tougher.

The eldest son of the emperor, Liu Yu...is his new support!

"There is no need to repeat the matter of Xianbei. Liu Dahonglu is in charge of Han's ethnic affairs, just report to him. As long as he mentions it, I will agree to everything!"

This…

Yang Ci suddenly felt his scalp go numb!
Your Majesty seems to trust... Liu Yu too much, then... the original plan for today's dinner...

no time to think...

"Minister Zunzhi..." Yang Ci cupped his hands, and stepped back knowingly.

Next... there are other officials involved.

Among them, Yizhou rebelled...Yizhou is far away from the Central Plains, and the people living in it are extremely complicated, and the local natives...are not easy to manage.

Naturally, there is no reason to discuss in this court.

but…

Finally, when the topic shifted to the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, the atmosphere in the entire court suddenly became tense.

...

...

　Taking advantage of New Year's Day today, let me say a few heartfelt words...

　　This book originally wanted to end quickly, not because of anything else... or because of poor grades. Instead of consuming it, it is better to start a new book.

　　But there are always hundreds of readers who have been chasing it, and they are very moved.

　　Roughly finished... feel sorry for them.

　　But let’s not finish this book, because the financial pressure is really great, not to mention that another profitable book will be finished soon... the financial pressure will only be greater.

　　I thought about it for a long time, and decided to finish writing normally... The quality will not drop, there will still be one chapter per day, and the amount of updates will be slightly reduced.

　　If the reader thinks there are too few, you can save it up and read it every ten days and a half months.

　　This will not delay my preparation of the new book...

　　Two children, the financial pressure is very high... I hope the readers understand!

　　Don’t vote for me for a monthly ticket. This book has disappointed the readers and is not worthy of your monthly ticket.

　　...

　　...
