Cap. 793 Du Tian Decree officially promulgated

Now it seems that this brand-new separation event between the Xun family in Henan and the Xun family in Yingchuan is also inseparable from the Dutian operation, and if it is not done well, the Xun family in Yingchuan has no idea about this matter at all.

Their guess was right, the Xun family in Yingchuan really didn't know much about this matter, even Xun Yu, who was in Luoyang and was about to lead a team back to Qingzhou after attending the government affairs meeting, didn't know much about it.

Xun You's sudden request to separate the family stabbed Xun Yu fiercely. Xun Yu was caught off guard and was heartbroken by the stabbing. He hurried to find Xun You and consulted him about the matter.

"Gongda, what's going on here? Why... do you want to separate?"

When Xun Yu saw Xun You, Xun You was dealing with the Privy Council's official affairs in Shi Shiran, he raised his head and glanced at Xun You, then lowered his head again.

"Wen Ruo, as I said, I have tried my best to help the Yingchuan Xun family survive the crisis, but every time, every time this family has made my efforts in vain, I have been completely disappointed in this family, so I want to Separate."

"This this……"

"I have done a lot for the family, but there are too many hopeless people. I have no other choice but to divide the family."

While approving the official document, Xun You said slowly: "There are still some people who can be saved. I have saved them. It can be regarded as keeping the incense for the Xun family and continuing to pass on. I am worthy of the ancestors and the Xun family itself. Wen Ruo, I have Did something go wrong?"

Xun Yu was speechless.

But he soon realized one thing.

"Could it be that His Majesty..."

"Don't think too much, as long as you don't rebel, His Majesty will not kill people, but the Yingchuan Xun family is likely to decline."

Xun You shook his head: "But it doesn't matter, the Xun family in Yingchuan has fallen, the Xun family in Henan is still there, and the glory of the Xun family will continue, just change a group of people."

"Gongda, you..."

"Wen Ruo, that's enough."

Xun You closed an official document, raised his head and looked directly at Xun Yu: "I have done a lot and I have tried my best to do what I can do. For the Xun family, I have done a lot more than you! You are not qualified accuse me."

After finishing speaking, Xun You asked Xun Yu to go out. He said that he would never see Xun Yu again, and let Xun Yu take care of himself.

Xun Yu walked out of the Privy Council in a daze, not knowing what to do.

At this time, he was indeed about to return to Qingzhou. He was still the governor of Qingzhou, and his duties were still there. He could not stay in Luoyang for a long time.

After thinking about it, Xun Yu wrote a letter and asked someone to bring it to Xun Su, asking Xun Su to think of a way to make the final retention. If the final retention fails, then he must be prepared to deal with the Dutian Order get ready.

Liu Bei came here for real, not for fun. Xun You had already clearly warned that if he was lucky, he would die.

In any case, land wealth is not as precious as life.

After the trustee delivered the letter, Xun Yu led the team back to Qingzhou amidst infinite emotion and worry, under the strange eyes of his subordinate officials.

And the response from the Xun's sect was also relatively quick.

Those members of the Xun clan who agreed to follow Xun You to set up another sect in Henan County immediately packed up their luggage and packed their belongings after Xun You succeeded in submitting the petition, and went to Luoyang to look for Xun You.

The only thing they did before that was to sell the land under their name in advance, exchange it for money, and prepare to leave their hometown in Yingchuan.

Although it is said that the homeland is hard to leave and the family plot is strong, no matter how strong the family plot is when the building is about to collapse, it will give way to the desire to survive. They are going through a very difficult, sad, and painful journey.

At the same time, I am very glad.

The departure of this group of people and the simultaneous news that the Yingchuan Xun family was separated completely detonated the Yingchuan Xun family.

Xun Su, the infinitely tangled head of the Xun family, finally couldn't sit still.

He received a letter from Xun Yu, and learned that a group of clan members exchanged their family property and went to Luoyang with a small group, which made people in the family panic and felt that the building was about to collapse.

He finally stopped being entangled, and hurried to Luoyang by car, day and night. When he met Xun You, he asked him what was going on, and his tone seemed to reprimand and question him.

As for his reprimand and questioning, Xun You's answer was unceremonious.

The content of Xun You's answer can be summed up in one sentence-how can the future of the Xun family be done well with you group of insects?
Xun Su was infuriated by Xun You's unceremonious reply, pointed at Xun You's nose, scolded Xun You for being ungrateful, and wanted to expel Xun You from the Xun family.

Xun You just sneered at this feeble threat.

"Uncle, I am no longer a member of the Xun family in Yingchuan. I am the head of the Xun family in Henan. This is allowed by the emperor. Why do you need to expel me, the head of the Xun family in Henan, from the Xun family in Yingchuan?" ?"

Xun Su's face turned blue from anger, and he pointed at Xun You for a while, unable to speak, his lips trembling.

Wait a minute, he calmed down a little.

"Gongda, have you really decided to make your family an enemy?"

"It's not that I want to be an enemy of the Xun family of Yingchuan, but that the Xun family of Yingchuan wants to be an enemy of the general trend of the world!"

Xun You said angrily: "A few years ago, I suggested that the Xun family follow in the footsteps of His Majesty today. At the most critical time, I wrote three letters in a row and asked the former patriarch to do the right thing three times, but none of them were accepted. In the end, Yingchuan Xun's missed opportunity!
And after this incident, the former patriarch actually blamed me once, saying that I didn't demand him more firmly, so that he couldn't make up his mind, and actually pushed the mistake on me!Don't I care enough about the Yingchuan Xun family?If he had followed my advice then, how would the Xun family in Yingchuan have survived today?

Even so, I didn't completely ignore the Xun family in Yingchuan. Before that, I asked Your Majesty to give the Xun family one last chance to let the Xun family support His Majesty's Dutian, and don't stubbornly resist in order to obtain His Majesty's understanding. If so , Yingchuan Xunshi still has a future.

But even if it is such a simple matter, you are all procrastinating and unable to make a decision, and so are you, and so is Wen Ruo, you are all entangled, you are all fantasizing, and you don't even know how far the situation has reached!If I continue to be with you, I will be killed by you too!

Therefore, I chose a more sensible clan to join me, leave Yingchuan, set up another sect, preserve the inheritance of the Xun family, and don't let the Xun family be destroyed by you group of insects. This is my respect to the ancestors and the Xun family final reward. "

There was nothing left to say between Xun You and Xun Su, they had completely torn their skins apart, and there was no room for relaxation.

Xun Su was also desperately aware of the irreversibility of all this, and he almost fainted himself under the intense anger.

Really, Xun Su really wanted to enforce the family law and punish Xun You, but when things came to an end, he found that he couldn't do it at all.

He doesn't have any power to do all this, he can't do anything to Xun You.

Xun You was a high-ranking privy envoy, with Emperor Liu Bei and his 30 troops standing behind him.

And he, Xun Su, is nothing.

Xun Su left Luoyang dejectedly, and then sent someone to hurry up and bring the news to Xun Yu who was far away in Qingzhou, hoping that Xun Yu could do something.

He thought that Xun Yu was a governor of a state with two thousand stones, and a feudal official in charge of a state should have enough power and connections to operate a little bit and give Xun You some good looks.

Without power, he can't do anything. For the first time in his life, he felt that power is such an important thing.

However, it was too late.

There was such a farce in the final stage of the government affairs meeting in the first year of Zhenguan, and people in Luoyang talked about it.

Shortly thereafter, on April [-], the day when the Henan Xun Clan officially established its clan in Henan County, Emperor Liu Bei visited the Henan Xun Clan's mansion in person to offer blessings and congratulations to Xun You, the patriarch of the Henan Xun Clan, and his clan members.

Xun You was overjoyed, and led the whole family to thank Liu Bei, saying that the Henan Xun family would always be loyal to Liu Bei and have no second thoughts.

This matter has come to an end, and there are no more waves that can be set off. After the Yingchuan Xun family went through this storm of separation, further violent differences appeared within.

Some people think that Xun You is a traitor, including the dozen or so internal and external families who followed him. They are all traitors of the Xun family. They should be given the most severe and cruel punishment. Give them a little color to show the energy of Yingchuan Xunshi.

Some people also argue that what Xun You did may be a way for the family to spend and spread leaves. After all, he is still a member of the Xun clan and has not denied his inheritance.

More people think that Xun You is seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, so they are worried about the peak of Tian Du Tian that the next emperor may set off. They are very worried that in the next wave of Du Tian peak, they will not only lose their property, but also lose life.

Under great worry, some members of the Xun clan were terrified that their psychological defenses had been breached, so they bypassed Xun Su and privately sent people to Henan County to discuss the matter with Xun You, hoping to leave the Xun clan in Yingchuan and transfer to The Xun family in Henan hopes that Xun You can take them in.

Xun You made a condition.

Abandon all the private land and servants in Yingchuan, or give or sell them, and only bring Xiruan and his family to Henan County.

The family will provide a part of the land, and they will buy part of the land with their own money to settle down and start a business.

In a family, a male can only own [-] mu of land, and a female can only own [-] mu of land, no more.

And in the future, the Xun family in Henan can have up to three servants per family, and they can’t use more servants in agriculture. They need to support themselves as much as possible, take the line of farming and reading, and transform from the Fanyue family to the Juanwang family, and go farming and reading wholeheartedly. route, abandoning all other livelihoods.

Especially don't touch business.

In all fairness, such a condition is an unavoidable fatal temptation for ordinary people.

But for the members of the Xun clan who live well and live well, it is indeed very difficult to return to the path of farming, studying and inheriting the family without having a large number of servants to serve them.

The identity of Jinyiyushi is gone forever, and it is hard to say what will happen to their future life. With all kinds of complicated emotions, those members of the Xun clan who were shaken in their will started discussions again and again, and launched round after round. debate.

Finally, at the end of April, another seven families within the clan made a decision, decided to abide by Xun You's conditions, to give up some important things in exchange for the future, and asked to transfer clans.

Xun You told Liu Bei about the matter, and Liu Bei approved it, and granted [-] mu of land to the Xun family in Henan for them to distribute themselves.

The Xun family in Henan welcomed the newcomer, but the Xun family in Yingchuan was shocked and angry, and the clouds were gloomy.

Now, nearly a quarter of the tribe has turned to Xun You. As a branch, Xun You is a bit too strong. If this situation continues, what will happen?

But Xun Su couldn't come up with any solution, and when things came to an end, Xun Su lost the chain again.

The tribe had no choice but to unite to believe Xun Yu, saying that the Xun family in Yingchuan had reached the brink of splitting and collapse, and asked Xun Yu to help.

But what can Xun Yu do?

He is the governor of Qingzhou, far away in the coastal area of ​​Qingzhou, out of his reach, and has no time to care about what happened to Gu Yingchuan. He himself still has a lot of government affairs to be busy, no matter how the Xun family is, as the governor of Qingzhou, he is very busy.

When the Xun family in Yingchuan was in chaos, Liu Bei was not idle.

He believes that so far, the core power groups of the Third Reich have unified their will, and it is imperative to formally promote Dutian.

Many, many years before this, although Dutian was not formally promoted, many things Liu Bei did were in preparation for Dutian, such as round after round of political purges, cleaning out groups of people entrenched in local areas The powerful family and powerful forces.

The cleansing of these forces in itself means that the local manor agricultural forces that can fight against the imperial court have been brutally attacked. In the context of political correctness, it does not involve the matter of saving the land.

So fundamentally speaking, no one thinks that Liu Bei dealt with them to save the land, but only regarded it as a political struggle, a struggle for power, and to gain more power.

And when Liu Bei was really about to start Dutian, compared with when he started Dutian five, six, seven, eight years ago, the entire Han Empire has changed the world, and preparations for all aspects have almost been completed, and the enemies that can be wiped out They are all almost wiped out.

So strictly speaking, the first year of Zhenguan will start this wave of Dutian, which is actually the time when many years of hard work usher in the harvest, the season of a bumper harvest, not the beginning of hard work.

The hard work and sweat in the past have brought golden waves of wheat. You only need to work harder and cut off all the wheat with a sickle, and you can get a full harvest, and the days to come will be easier.

After figuring this out, Liu Bei no longer has any worries about the entire Dutian operation.

So on the first day of May in the first year of Zhenguan, Liu Bei officially promulgated the long-prepared "Dutian Decree".

In addition to the elaboration of some regulations and goals of the entire land-duty act, this time the land-duty decree is actually equivalent to the brand-new land policy of the Third Empire of the Han Dynasty in a more sense. It includes a lot of content, not just A declaration of war.

More, it's policy.

It is the land policy under the new system after the completion of Dutian, and even includes new policies related to taxation.

For example, the most core point in the Dutian Law is [Taxation by the government and the people].

Liu Bei's formal and clear regulations, not to mention the folks, the bureaucrats must also start to implement strict tax policies, no one can escape. Start by making changes.

Except for the salaries of officials and the welfare rewards given by the emperor himself, all other incomes belonging to the officials themselves, clansmen, relatives and friends, and land from commercial sources were taxable.

The 16 officials of the Han Dynasty must play a leading role in this regard. Anyone who opposes the imperial court's policy in this regard is purely ignorant of politics and has no future.
