Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 250 Couldn't escape after all, the palm of your hand!

The reputation of Chengdu as "Land of Abundance" comes from the article "Warring States Policy · Qin Policy".

——"The fields are fertile, the people are prosperous, the chariots are tens of thousands, millions of people are fighting hard, the fertile fields are thousands of miles away, the accumulation is abundant, and the terrain is convenient.

There is also a saying that there is no severe cold in winter in Bashu and no severe heat in summer, coupled with the nourishment of Dujiangyan, a millennium irrigation and water conservancy project, Chengdu is moistened with water all the time.

It is precisely because of this, along the banks of the Minjiang River in the west of the Chengdu Plain.

It is different from that in other places, after winter, it has already withered.

Here, the floor is paved with felt, and people sit on the ground in twos and threes along the bank. There are also scholars who compose poems with cups flowing in the water. The mountains are soft and the water is soft, and the warm wind is intoxicating.

Since Cao Cao withdrew his troops, this place has been peaceful and peaceful.

At this time, Liu Bei, with Zhu Wenwu, and the mighty carriage team slowly moved along the river.

A group of civil and military officials learned from Fazheng who was next to Liu Bei.

The purpose of this trip is for Liu Bei to take all the officials to pay homage to a certain person. The scenery along the way is pleasant, and there are many people flying kites with boys, and the kites landed on Liu Bei's carriage.

Liu Bei ordered all the convoys to stop, and then personally helped the boy take down the kite...

These boys didn't understand, and the adults on the side expressed their thanks in great trepidation: "Thank you, Mr. Xuande, thank you, Mr. Xuande..."

Soon, the arrival of Liu Bei and his entourage attracted many people who were sitting around on the mat and having fun.

Many people flocked over, and some followed Liu Bei's motorcade, as if they were extremely curious about the movements of the new owner of Yizhou.

Ma Di also rode a horse to follow the large army. He swung his whip suddenly, and the horse galloped a few steps to catch up with Yang Yi in front.

As a native of Jingzhou, gossip is indispensable, and more importantly, it is practical.

"Military Master Zhuge asked Duke Wei to go to Jingzhou to take an examination of Shiro Guan, and now the answer sheet has also been brought back, but Military Master Zhuge and Duke Wei never mentioned the matter of the closed disciple again, presumably to leave the Second General a little bit of trouble, which is also the case. Guan Jiashiro has only a false name, you are a crane who does not dance!"

Yang Yi didn't bother to talk to him, and waved her hand lightly: "Let's do what you think..."

Yang Yi's reply seemed to give Ma Su a new understanding.

"Hahaha…"

He laughed out loud, "Duke Wei, Duke Wei, it seems that you are also afraid of the second general... But it doesn't matter if you are afraid or not, true talent and practical learning are true talents and practical learning, and a crane that does not dance is a crane that does not dance. How can it be changed? Didn’t the military adviser also teach you that I must always tell the truth?”

Ha ha…

Facing Ma Di's words, Yang Yi laughed, but he was still noncommittal.

In my heart, I said to myself:
——"I'm afraid that if you tell the truth, you, Ma Youchang, won't be able to accept it!" 』

——"Military Master Zhuge didn't accept Yun Qi as his disciple, why is it because he has a false name?That's because the light of Yunqi is too shining, Zhuge military master can't teach him! 』

Yang Yi wanted to open her mouth to prevaricate a few words.

Unexpectedly, at the stall where he was talking with Ma Di, the surrounding civil and military people were also chatting about something, and the voices of the conversation became more and more, which attracted the two of them at once.

"Military Master Zhuge really has a solution. The soaring prices and hoarding that have plagued Central Sichuan for so long are actually solved by a small commercial bureau. Now it's all right, the prices have stabilized, and the boiling public grievances have finally been calmed down...the collection of commercial taxes , but also to enrich the treasury, and what they pay is to elevate the status of these merchants and abolish the status of merchants. Zhuge Junshi is already picking up wheat and turning it into a mill, a business without capital and huge profits."

"That's right, the Commerce Bureau run by Military Adviser Zhuge can't accept it... But what I admire more is Military Adviser Zhuge's 'empty city plan' to retreat Cao Jun. This is the courage. Cao Cao was also caught in the trick, so he won’t accept it! Such an “empty city plan” is unprecedented, and there will be no one to follow.”

Because the Department of Commerce;
Because of the empty city plan.

For a time, Zhuge Liang's reputation in Shuzhong was unprecedented.

In all the civil and military words, every word and every sentence is full of admiration for him.

But at this time, a sharp voice sounded, "Speaking of which, Cao Jun has also retreated, and the price has also been leveled. Why doesn't General Zuo allocate the fertile land of Yizhou thousands of miles away? So many meritorious ministers are eager to see it!"

As soon as this voice came out, the surrounding voices suddenly became noisy.

As if, for this fertile farmland, whether it is the "Dongzhou School", the "Jingzhou School", or the Veteran School, the Jiangjiang School, everyone is eager to see it.

The only one who is not happy is the local faction in Yizhou that is least used. This fertile field is thousands of miles... It was originally the land of their Yizhou people, but now...

"Ugh--"

The faint sighs of these Yizhou people seemed to sink into the sea, unable to withstand the slightest wave.

Someone reminded me.

"Speaking of which, this time the lord summoned so many of us to commemorate and mourn the undead? Who is he commemorating? Who has such a big face?"

Following the appearance of this sentence, the audience was silent for a moment.

Finally, a voice came out, "It probably belonged to Liu Yan, the father of Liu Zhang. My lord is also a Han family clan relative with him, and he mentioned repeatedly that he wanted to seek Yizhou... I can't do it. I'm sorry for him." It's reasonable to pay homage to him."

"That's right." Someone immediately echoed, "Cao Cao is a traitor. When he attacked Yecheng, he slaughtered the city, but he didn't forget to mourn Yuan Shao. I heard that he cried heartbreakingly in front of Yuan Shao's grave, dying... Our lord is like this Benevolence? How can it be inferior to that Cao thief?"

"If that's the case, when we get to Liu Yan's ancestral hall later, we also need to be with the lord, and the grief comes from our hearts, and weeping will be heartbreaking..."

These sentences spread to Ma Di, and also to Yang Yi's ears.

Ma Di shook his head slightly, "It turned out to be a sacrifice to Liu Yan, hehe, everyone in the world admires false fame, even Uncle Liu Huang is not exempt!"

Yang Yi listened, but still did not speak.

He felt... because of what Yunqi mentioned in the answer sheet, today's "sacrifice" may not be that simple!

Wait and see!
...

Cabin over there.

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were sitting in the same carriage, and Fazheng was also there...

What Liu Bei wants to promote, Zhuge Liang's support alone is not enough, because behind Zhuge Liang is only the "Jingzhou faction", and behind Fazheng is the now larger "Dongzhou faction".

"——In the world, people are the most precious. Establish a monarch and herdsmen, and follow the rules. The ruts and horse tracks, the four poles of latitude and longitude. Dispose of the dark, and the prosperity of the common people."

Liu Bei said: "Cao Manipulation is a big treacherous evil, but he also wrote such a poem in "Duguan Mountain" that "people are precious, establish a king and herdsmen, and follow the rules". I think he also realized it. 'Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it'."

"He is clear... If Cao Wei only needs to stand for one or two generations, then maybe it is enough to use only the clan and clan, and don't care about the life and death of Li Shu, but if Cao Wei wants to stand up for thousands of generations, he must have this "world" Time, human beings are the sober cognition of "."

When Liu Bei said this, Zhuge Liang took out another bamboo slip from his bosom and handed it to Fazheng.

He explained: "This is the "Rent Modulation" promulgated by Cao Cao in his subordinate country. It was promulgated and implemented as early as the fifth year of Jian'an, and it has been extended to the entire north in recent years!"

"It is not an exaggeration to say that this "Zend Modulation" has changed the oral tax (poll tax) of the big man for 400 years, and this is not known without investigation. After investigation, it is shocking!"

Zhuge Liang's tone was heavy, with a bit of regret in it.

Prior to this, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei were all focused on the "inside of central Shu", and never calmed down to check Cao Wei's decrees on "resisting Cao's army".

However, an answer sheet by Chacha Yunqi, "abolishing the poll tax" and implementing "split to the mu" came into the eyes of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

This also made them have a strong interest in Cao Wei's agricultural administration and land tax system.

I don't know if I don't investigate, but Cao Cao is far ahead of them in the reform of "taxation".

Cao Wei's "Rent Modulation" abolished the poll tax to a certain extent...

To put it simply, Cao Cao directly abolished the "head tax" of Kyushu under his jurisdiction, and improved it to "calculated by household", with a fixed share for each household every year.

That is to say, four dendrobiums are rented for each mu of harvested land, and "two horses" of silk are transferred to each expropriating household...

Do not arbitrarily increase.

Compared with the original method of paying taxes on a head-by-head basis, this method of paying taxes undoubtedly greatly eased the tax burden of the entire family.

That is to say, if a family has one child and five children, the tax paid is the same.

In fact, in addition to the land rent system, the Han Dynasty also had to pay grassland tax and rice tax, which was equivalent to "land rent additional tax".

It can be said that Cao Wei is ahead of Shu Han and Soochow in terms of taxation.

It is also more popular!
And these...

If it weren't for Guan Lin's answer sheet, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang wouldn't have noticed this, let alone Fazheng.

They were still kept in the dark!

Therefore, at this moment, Fazheng looked at the bamboo slips with a feeling of shock.

"The taxes in Soochow are all directly attributed to the major clans. That is to say, only we, Bashu and Jingzhou, are still collecting heavy poll taxes from the people according to the original rent system of the Han Dynasty?"

Fazheng asked the most critical point straight to the point.

Zhuge Liang nodded heavily, but there was a bit of sadness in his tone.

"That's right... I never thought that I, the people of Bashu and Jingzhou, would be the ones with the heaviest burden."

"Filial piety—" Liu Bei was about to speak, wanting to continue to guide and persuade.

Unexpectedly, Fazheng waved his hand.

"My lord, there is no need to say more."

Fazheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Not to mention Soochow, Cao Wei has already come ahead of us in terms of taxation reform, and the letter Guan Yunqi mentioned about 'abolishing the poll tax' and 'sharing the income into the mu' is compared to Cao Wei's rent." Modulation, I don’t know how many times better? This is undoubtedly beneficial to the lord, but if it is beneficial to the lord, how can I, Fazheng, not fully support it? Kong Ming, you just say, what to do... these Dongzhou officials, I If you come to lobby, it’s fine if they support it, if you don’t support it, I have a hundred ways to make them not object!”

At the end, Fazheng's tone was somewhat cold.

Speaking of which, Fazheng is also a very smart person. Zhuge Liang can see the energy of "spreading into the mu", so why can't Fazheng not see it?

In the same way, Fazheng can also see that this is more than ten times better than Cao Wei's "rent adjustment", but it will be ten times more difficult to implement!
But since it is of great benefit to "good friends", how can Fazheng be afraid to move forward?
At this time, he must go to the front.

Seeing Fazheng's appearance, Liu Bei stroked his beard slightly, and said with a smile, "Kong Ming, am I right? This stall is worth the money, and Xiaozhi must support us!"

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly, as if Fazheng's loud words made the big stone in his heart land safely.

"Since Xiaozhi said so, Ryo can rest assured..."

"It's just..." Fazheng uttered these two words suddenly, causing Zhuge Liang's mood to suspend again.

Fazheng's words continued, "I was just thinking, after Cao Cao abolished the poll tax, he could only come up with the idea of ​​collecting taxes on a household basis to encourage people to have children. This is a slight change; "Ding into mu' directly spread all the taxes and taxes of the people on the field mu!"

"Who owns the land, who pays the taxes, such an exquisite and unparalleled system, I just can't imagine that it came from the mouth of a 15-year-old boy? The son of the second general has some spirituality..."

"Hahaha…"

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang's suspended heart fell again, he smiled and waved his lupine and said with emotion:

"It's more than a little spiritual..."

Liu Bei added: "My second brother still wants this son to worship Kong Ming, but this son dares to worship, but Kong Ming dare not accept it!"

Oh…

Fazheng was surprised at first, and then laughed too.

Yes, it is possible to come up with a one-and-done tax system such as "split into the mu";

It can solve the problem of population breeding for thousands of generations in the future at one time;
What's more, a mere decree can benefit thousands of people and common people.

Such a spiritual young man?

Who dares to be his master?

"My lord, it is said that everything is difficult at the beginning. What is the first step?"

"Kongming has already arranged everything, and with Xiaozhi's support, I'm relieved." Liu Bei was full of confidence, and he smiled again: "Xiaozhi, just watch it!"

For a moment, Liu Bei's eyes were determined.

Fa Zhengze nodded heavily, his eyes were filled with anticipation, as if he was eager to see through this "spread into the mother".

Speaking of which, Fazheng never cared much about those Li Shu who were oppressed by the heavy head tax and who were out of breath. Unlike Xu Shu and Xun Yu, he was never a compassionate person!
In this matter, what he cares most about is...is it beneficial to his like-minded and like-minded good friend "Liu Bei"?

As long as it is beneficial to "good friends"...

His method is upright even if he goes all out.

And such a "spread into the mu", the reason why Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, and Fazheng all looked sideways, and carried it out without hesitation.

the basic reason…

It lies in the hearts and minds of the people!
It lies in the hearts and popularity of the people all over the world.

For example, this is similar to the "property tax" that will be implemented in later generations.

Reduce the amount of other taxes, and spread more taxes on the property...

Whoever has more real estate and more resources will pay heavy taxes!

- Reasonable!
And it has the same effect as "Stand Ding Ru Mu".

It is to let the big households bear their "obligation" after enjoying all the resources!
Whether ancient or modern...

"Put Ding into Mu" is a major reform that can "change the world"!

...

...

Jiangling City, the western suburbs.

Diao Chan's voice came from an ordinary farmhouse.

"Mrs. Jiangzao and sugarcane glutinous rice must remember clearly? Remove the core and wash the jujube, wash and slice the dried ginger, add sugar cane glutinous rice and boil it together, and then take it while it is hot... Take one dose a day, divide it into two doses, until the end of the day At that time, Madam should no longer have the feeling of pain in the lower abdomen... In the future, before the sunflower water comes, you can prepare these first, so as to be prepared."

At this moment, Diao Chan is like a goddess doctor, giving her patients good advice.

Big Joe silently wrote it down. "Thank you, lady doctor..."

Diao Chan smiled, and seemed to enjoy the feeling of treating others. She said lightly, "Healing and saving lives is an obligatory duty for me to save lives. Why should I thank you? But...Madam, if you are sick, you can go to Jiangling City at any time." The official medical office is in Ximen, not far from here... There are always female doctors there."

Diao Chan has already put away the medical kit...

She got up slowly, not forgetting to say with emotion: "It is said that many children are blessed, Madam is so blessed, maybe there are more than three children? It's just... I was still wondering, how can Madam not have a child by her side? "

Because after entering the house, he checked Da Qiao.

Diao Chan can be sure that the wife in front of her may not only have given birth to three cubs...

But how could a mother with so many children be here alone?

This is where Diao Chan was instinctively puzzled.

"This…"

Big Joe paused slightly.

Because of Diao Chan's reminder, she thought of her son Sun Shao;

Thinking of marrying the eldest daughter of Gu Shao, the eldest son of Gu Yong, the head of the Gu family;
Thinking of Sun Ru, the second daughter married to Lu Xun, the acting patriarch of the Lu family;
I also thought of the third daughter who married Zhu Ji, the second son of Zhu Zhi, the head of the Zhu family...

Speaking of which, except for Sun Shao, the three daughters haven't seen each other for ten years.

How are they doing?

Thinking of this, Da Qiao's expression became a little more sad, Diao Chan quickly covered her mouth, "I said something wrong, right... madam, I was the one to be abrupt, sorry..."

Diao Chan's repeated apologies made Da Qiao's tightly closed mouth loose, "Actually, it's okay, I have a son, three daughters, and a younger sister...but, except for my son, I haven't been in touch with you for a long time. , my son...is busy, he will be very busy during this time...I'm afraid he won't be able to be by my side. "

"So that's how it is..." Diao Chan nodded slightly, as if realizing that it was because of her that the madam in front of her was so sad, Diao Chan hurriedly said: "Well, madam has abdominal pain and it's hard to walk... I'll send someone to bring medicinal materials later. Madam cut up today's medicine, tomorrow's... I just want to come here, and then I will come here to see Madam!"

Having said that, Diao Chan smiled kindly and was about to leave.

"The female doctor stayed behind, and I haven't asked the female doctor yet, what should I call her?"

Da Qiao asked quickly.

"My surname is Ren..." Diao Chan replied truthfully. "Madam can call me a doctor, but what should I call Madam?"

Da Qiao also reported his family name, "My...my surname is Qiao..."

After hesitating again and again, Da Qiao still revealed her surname truthfully.

She didn't want to lie in front of such a kind female doctor.

"I've made a note, Mrs. Qiao, see you tomorrow." Diao Chan left a beautiful smile, then walked away slowly with a medical kit and the herbs she bought on her back.

In fact, she was thinking to herself because it was getting late.

——『It's time for Lingju to go home...the meals haven't been prepared yet!I'm afraid she's going to starve! 』

——"I don't know, these days...she said 'voting a certificate', how is this voting certificate?" 』

What Diaochan is thinking about here is her daughter Lingju.

But Da Qiao over there, looking at Diao Chan's back as she walked away, suddenly thought of her sister!

Once upon a time, her sister...

Qiao Wan, known as "Little Qiao"...

She is also as beautiful as this "Doctor Ren", and also as "kind-hearted" as her!

Once upon a time, Bingdi sisters in Lujiang.

How enviable they were when they married Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin in a glorious manner.

But now... where is my sister, Xiao Qiao?
--"she?are you OK? 』

For a moment, the longing in his heart had overwhelmed the slight pain in Da Qiao's lower abdomen.

Inexplicably, she is a little bit emotional today.

...

...

In Shu County, Lujiang, there is only one family in this county that can be called a "rich family"
——The Lujiang Zhou family!
This famous Zhou surnamed family originally separated from Runan County in the early Han Dynasty, emerged during the Han Dynasty and became a local prominent family.

From the beginning of Zhou Rong's entry into the political arena in the later years of Emperor Zhang, to the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhou Jing and Zhou Zhong both served as Han Taiwei, ranking among the three princes, and the status of the Zhou family has lasted for more than a hundred years!
However, Zhou Yu's father Zhou Yi and his cousin Zhou Hui had served as Luoyang Commander successively. When they resigned, they were just in time for Dong Zhuo to enter Luoyang.

When Dong Zhuo heard that the two brothers were leaving, he immediately sent troops to intercept and kill them.

The so-called-"Dong Zhuo heard about it and hated him, so he sent soldiers to rob and kill his brother."

From the fear of the Zhou family in Lujiang, we can also see what kind of lintel this is.

Unfortunately, five years ago...everything changed.

Since Sun Quan approved Zhou Yu's strategic plan to conquer Yizhou...

Zhou Yu returned to Jiangling, where he was stationed, and led his troops to Baqiu...

Then, he died inexplicably!
It is declared to the outside world that the road is infected with disease, and unfortunately died of illness!

Only the words left by Zhou Yu to Sun Quan are left-"Life is mortal, and it is short-lived. It is not a pity, but I hate that my ambition has not been developed, and I can no longer serve Soochow!"

This seems to be a feeling of time and fate...

In other words, it seems that Zhou Yu finally admitted to Sun Quan:

——After all, I couldn't escape from your palm!
now…

Kneeling under one roof was Zhou Yu's widow, known as "Little Qiao"—Qiao Wan.

Kneeling on the other side were Da Qiao's son Sun Shao, and Tai Shi Ci's son Tai Shi Xiang.

Sun Shao's slight words were being spoken.

"—Auntie also wants to know, Uncle Gongjin conquered Bashu and brought troops to Baqiu... Before he fell ill and passed away suddenly, what happened there?"

...
