Lang Wuxu saw that Ma Hong's attitude became a little stiff, so he was naturally very unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it, but showed a look of panic, and hurriedly said: "Since the lord of the Ministry has ordered, I can only be bold. Advise!"

Only then did Ma Hong's expression soften, and he said with a smile: "We should help each other in the same boat, Master Lang, you have been in the Ministry of Households longer than I am an official. Although Master Chu is young and promising, he has not been in the Ministry of Households for a long time after all. You, Mr. Lang, are the most familiar with the matter of the household department, so naturally we still need to listen to your opinion."

Lang Wuxu cursed inwardly, Ma Hong obviously didn't dare to offend Chu Huan, and in a few words, he pulled Chu Huan to his side, but forced Lang Wuxu to express his opinion.

What kind of person is Lang Wuxu? The Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China throws the problem to the Ministry of Accounts, intending to let the Ministry of Accounts be the scapegoat. At this time, Ma Hong throws the problem to Lang Wuxu again, and prepares to let Lang Wuxu be the head of the Ministry of Accounts. scapegoat.

The key point in the middle, Lang Wuxu's heart is as clear as a mirror, but at this time he dared not show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, so he could only force a smile and say: "Since the lord of the Ministry said so, the next official dared to say Talk about your own immature opinions." After a pause, he finally said: "I feel that the current situation in the Northwest may not have a perfect solution. In my opinion, when I make a choice, I can only sacrifice small disadvantages and seek big benefits. !"

Ma Hong immediately asked: "What does Mr. Lang mean?"

"The brochure submitted by the Northwest is accurate." Lang Wuxu said: "Our household department can't afford money and food, and the war in the southeast is tense. Although the household department is also going around to raise money and food, our energy is only limited. If you can go to the southeast to deal with it, how about the northwest... Your Excellency, I’m sorry to say that the imperial court has no energy to manage it now. At the beginning, the imperial court focused on the northwest, because the soldiers in Xiliang were in full swing and could attack at any time We have to deal with the invasion of foreign enemies when entering the pass, the situation is completely different now, the foreign invaders have withdrawn from outside the pass, so we don’t need to put our energy there, but the battle is fierce in the southeast, so we can only take care of the southeast.”

Ma Hong thought about it, and asked, "You mean to let the Erdao Hao family of Beishan and Tianshan enter Xiguan?"

"We don't have any surplus grain to transfer to the northwest, and at this time, it is even more impossible to increase taxes." Lang Wuxu said: "Lord Minister, let me say something stupid, the current situation, the imperial court has no choice at all. In the final analysis, without food, we cannot solve the affairs of the Northwest. It is not a bad thing for the rich family in the Northwest to take the initiative to come forward to offer advice. problem."

Ma Hong leaned on the chair and said: "The guys in the northwest have a lot of appetite. They want the court to exempt the court for three years, and the land of the three realms. After three years, how much money will the court lose? We Daqin Sixteenth Dao In other words, in the next three years, the financial revenue of the empire will decrease by [-]% every year, but I estimate that in the next few years, the imperial court will spend more than it does now. , what do you think our household department will use to support the imperial court's expenses?"

Chu Huan finally said: "My lord, rich people have been rich, and poor people, let's tighten our belts. The Northwest suffered from military disasters, and the people suffered. Common people, I think the Holy Majesty will also consider reducing taxes appropriately. The lower officials have very little knowledge, but they just feel that the current situation still needs to stabilize the people in the northwest from the chaos of war, let them eat rice and live in houses first, as long as they recover their vitality , it is possible to produce with peace of mind, and the empire may have taxes to collect."

Lang Wuxu stood beside him and immediately said: "That's right, my lord, Lord Chu is right. If the nobles in the Northwest can't rebuild the Northwest by themselves, then the imperial court will not only get taxes from the Northwest in the next few years, but I'm afraid it will cost more money every year." A large amount of money and food is used for the reconstruction of the Northwest. Now that the tax has been exempted for three years, although it is impossible to collect taxes from the Northwest, the imperial court does not have to invest a large amount of money, grain, and materials in the Northwest. In this way, the imperial court is still appropriate."

"In this way, Mr. Lang is strongly in favor of the Northwest wealthy family's move of renting grain and land?" Ma Hong said with a smile: "Mr. Lang's words today made me suddenly enlightened. Hahaha, Mr. Lang is worthy of being a member of the household department. Veteran, the pros and cons can be explained clearly in a few words." Xiang Chu Huan said with a smile: "Master Chu, we still need to ask Lord Lang for advice on everything in the future!"

Lang Wuxu was startled, and Ma Hong's pretentious attitude, in Lang Wuxu's heart, only felt hairy. After these few words, it seemed that Lang Wuxu was strongly supporting the self-construction of the Northwest.

He gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "Don't dare, Mr. Butang is too famous." He asked cautiously: "What do you mean by Mr. Butang?"

"Actually, I am very unfamiliar with Northwest affairs." Ma Hong said modestly: "Because of the favor of the Holy Majesty, not long after entering the household department, everything is still quite unfamiliar. Fortunately, Mr. Lang is an old man in the department, and Mr. Chu is also in the northwest. After going through it once, speaking of it, both of you know more about the Northwest than I do." He smiled and said, "Master Lang, since you have said so, our household department has discussed this matter, so let's Please hurry up and write a memorial to explain the meaning of the household department."

Lang Wu jumped again in humility, but still respectfully said: "Butang, this is really going to be approved by Northwest, there are still many things to do...!"

Ma Hong had already said: "We have to worry about everything. Even if the three of us grow ten heads, it is not enough. We have already decided on the overall situation. As for other specific matters, we should leave them to the subordinates. And this is also It’s just the charter issued by our household department, whether the higher-ups agree or not depends on the imperial court’s instruction.”

Chu Huan suddenly said at this time: "Butang, if you approve the Zhezi from the Northwest, how do you feel about the rich family of Xiguan Road?"

"Master Chu, does this Xiguan Dao Hao family still exist?" Ma Hong smiled and said, "It is said that there are seven Xiguan surnames in Xiguan Dao. Now that the Xiguan seven surnames are scattered all over the world, it is still not the same. The reconstruction of the Northwest still depends on the Tianshan Mountains. Beishan, the powerful families of Xiguan Road are already unreliable." As soon as he got up, Chu Huan laughed and said, "Butang, you can't say that!"

Ma Hong had already left his buttocks from the chair. Hearing this, his buttocks fell down again. He frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "Master Chu, do you have any other opinions?"

Chu Huan said: "I don't dare, I just think that the reconstruction of the Northwest must be done without delay, but as the saying goes, it's good to rush to the heart. If things are done too extreme, I'm afraid something will happen instead!"

"An accident?" Ma Hong's expression turned cold: "What accident? Is someone planning to rebel, or is someone planning to rebel?" He picked up his teacup and said lightly: "There is a mess in the southeast. Over there, the matter in the Northwest can be dealt with earlier, naturally it is better to do it sooner, the night is full of dreams, if something really happened in the Northwest, the consequences would be disastrous."

Chu Huan said: "Three roads in the northwest, the three roads will be rebuilt, and the Xiguan Road is the most important. The war rages on the Xiguan Road, and Xiguan has suffered from top to bottom. At this time, the Xiguan Road seems to be a mess of people, but when they are living outside, they all take care of each other, and the feeling of adversity is extraordinary. If it is a paper document, two wealthy families from the Beishan and Tianshan Mountains are allowed to enter Xiguan, and the wealthy families of Xiguan are allowed to enter Xiguan. The title deed has become a dead letter, and the officials are worried that everyone in Xiguan will be dissatisfied!"

A ray of light flashed across Ma Hong's eyes, but he still smiled and said, "Master Chu is worried that the nobles in Xiguan will not accept it?"

Chu Huan said: "The first to bear the brunt of the dissatisfaction is naturally the wealthy family of Xiguan."

"Your Excellency Chu is too worried." Ma Hong said with a smile: "Today's wealthy family in Xiguan is not what it used to be, so it is nothing. What's more, the imperial court has to focus on the overall situation. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, some things must be sacrificed. The wealthy family of Xiguan They have nothing but the land deed in their hands. Is it possible that they have to rely on the waste paper in their hands to rebuild Xiguan? Lord Chu, this choice must be understood. As for the people of Xiguan, they may not have a good impression of the Xiguan wealthy family. The imperial court allowed the Erdao Hao clan of Beishan and Tianshan to allocate grain to Xiguan for cultivation. In the final analysis, it was for the sake of the people of Xiguan to live on. Said: "Master Lang, do you think this is the reason?"

Lang Wuxu smiled and said, "Yes!"

Chu Huan said: "What the ministry said is certainly true. However, if the title deeds of the wealthy Xiguan family are abolished, there will be as many people holding the title deeds in Daqin. I don't know how those people will feel about it?"

"It's urgent!" Ma Hong took a sip of tea and said, "In the current situation in the Northwest, we can only do something wrong." Looking at Chu Huan, he asked, "Could it be that Mr. Chu disagrees with the Northwest's Zhezi?"

"That's not true." Chu Huan shook his head and said, "I'm just expressing my own humble opinion. I think it's not impossible for the second noble family in Tianshan and Beishan to enter Xiguan, but things have to be handled in a more tactful manner." .”

"Oh?" Ma Hong said with a smile, "I would like to hear more about it!"

Chu Huan thought for a while, and then said: "The lower official feels that to make the Northwest truly stable, at least three kinds of people must be considered." If we want to make our own contributions to the reconstruction of the Northwest, the imperial court will naturally not pour cold water on them. They are also an important part of the reconstruction of the Northwest, and we should pay attention to them. If the imperial court allows them to rent land with grain, it means that they have taken into account their service to the country. heart of."

"What about the other two types?"

"The second type of people, of course, are the people of Xiguan Road." Chu Huan said solemnly: "This is precisely the foundation that cannot be ignored in the Northwest. The Northwest needs to be rebuilt, and the nobles will contribute, and the people are the power to restore production in the Northwest. The imperial court But they have to plan more for their situation, only take care of the wealthy family, but ignore the common people, the northwest is still rare to be stable!"

"Lord Chu's words are very reasonable." Lang Wuxu immediately said: "Butang, the people in the northwest, especially the people in Xiguan Road, we must not underestimate them."

"What does Master Chu mean?" Ma Hong stared at Chu Huan.

Chu Huan said solemnly: "The rich people entered Xiguan, and they produced grain. Naturally, this land should be cultivated by the people of Xiguan Road. In addition, the Ministry of Household Affairs should also draw up regulations. The people of Xiguan are ruined and their lives are worse than those in the pass. It is much more difficult, if the imperial court exempts the tax, it is not exempting the wealthy family from the tax, but exempting the people from the tax, and when there is a harvest, the exempted tax will be repaid to the farming people, so that they can rebuild their homes." A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. I mean, "Didn't the two rich families say that the food was only to help the court rebuild the Northwest? That's very good. As far as I know, the taxes of the various roads in the Great Qin Dynasty are averaged. The court collects [-]% of the taxes, and the landlords also collect in name Thirty percent, but it is often more than thirty percent. This time in the northwest, thirty percent of the imperial government's tax exemption, but the local construction needs to be carried out, and the imperial court cannot allocate money to the northwest, so twenty percent of it can be handed over to the local government for collection, and the remaining eighty percent, The nobles still get [-]%, and the common people can get [-]%!"

The corners of Ma Hong's eyes twitched, his brows were furrowed, and before he could speak, Lang Wuxu had already echoed, "Master Chu's suggestion is quite good. Since the rich families in the northwest say they want to rebuild the northwest, then give them a chance to serve the country. Wait." When it comes time to harvest, [-]% of the grain is more than enough to make up for the grain they cast. The local government collects [-]% to maintain the operation of the local government, and the common people get [-]%. After a few years, they will soon recover. " He stroked his beard and said: "My lord, once this order is spread to the northwest, the common people will be rejoiced. Seeing that they can have ample food and clothing, I don't think anyone is willing to let the day go by and cause trouble in the northwest." Xiang Chu Huan gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Master Chu puts the people first, but it is the way to solve the turmoil in the Northwest. High, really high!"
