On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 131 Establishing a Free Warehouse
Cui Che thought to himself, I haven't disliked you as a second marriage, yet you secretly poked at me and Yang Ah Wu.

When we have sex tonight, we must invite Yu Wenyun's spiritual tablet into the room and place it in front of the bed.

"Why are you telling me this? The one Cui wanted to marry was Xijun."

Cui Che pretended to be indifferent, but in fact he really didn't care much about Yang A-Wu. The two of them only met a few years ago when Cui Che went out of town with Yang Guang to Bingzhou. At that time, Yang A-Wu was only nine years old. What could he have? idea.

After finishing speaking, Cui Che hugged away the Bodhisattva slave who was drinking vigorously, and put him into the cradle regardless of his howling.

Immediately, she threw Yang Lihua down on the bed and expressed her love with practical actions.

The marriage between Yang Awu and Jin Wangfei's younger brother Xiao Jue had already been agreed upon, but there was a funeral just before the door.

Xiao Ju's father, Xiao Kui, the emperor of Xiliang, died of illness at the age of 44. His posthumous title was Emperor Xiaoming, his temple name was Shizong, and he was succeeded by Prince Xiao Cong.

After his father's death, Xiao Ju can't talk about marriage no matter what, he has to observe filial piety for three years before he thinks about it again.

So Yang Ah Wu's marriage was delayed again, but fortunately she was still young, not yet 13 years old, even after three years, she would only be fifteen or sixteen years old.

Cui Che couldn't care less about Yang Awu's bumpy marriage. After sending away Yang Lihua's mother and son and adopted daughter Yuwen Eying, the central government issued a decree not long after, ordering all states and counties to build free warehouses.

According to the wealth status of the military and civilian families under the rule, the local officials set the corresponding grade standard. After the autumn harvest every year, the millet and wheat donated by each family according to the wealth grade are placed in the righteous warehouse to prepare for the disaster year.

The upper household is one stone of corn and wheat, the middle household is seven buckets, and the lower household is four buckets.

Cui Che knew that the starting point of this policy was undoubtedly good, and the Sui Dynasty had indeed experienced frequent disasters in recent years.

But he also understands that although the righteous warehouse is donated by the people to guard against the bad year, it will inevitably be embezzled by the government. This kind of thing is not uncommon in later generations, let alone a feudal society where everyone lives in the world.

At first, the people may still donate millet grain, but if it is embezzled a lot and the government does not make up for it, who will continue to donate.

At that time, the semi-voluntary righteous warehouse system will evolve into a compulsory taxation. It will not take too long. Cui Che still remembers the time. In the 15th year of Emperor Kaihuang, that is, ten years later, Yang Jian issued an edict that the righteous warehouse Transformed into an official warehouse.

Of course, the food has to be donated by the people.

But these have nothing to do with Brother Che, even if the country's credit goes bankrupt because of this, it is not something he should worry about.

What Cui Che has to do is to do good things for his father-in-law.

Under the call of the Qingzhou General Manager's Office, counties in the four prefectures built warehouses one after another, only waiting for the autumn harvest to store food donated by the people.

The country's credit can go bankrupt, but he, Cui Che, cannot break his word in front of the people of Qingzhou. At least when he was in charge of Qingzhou, he was determined not to allow the local government to embezzle the warehouse.

As for the subsequent embezzlement by officials, it will only make the people of Qingzhou miss themselves even more.

Half of the three-year term of Qingzhou Governor has passed, Cui Che has deeply cultivated the grassroots and won people's hearts, especially the [-] salt soldiers and [-] salt workers are willing to die for them, which can be said to be a fruitful harvest.

At the same time, there are major events in the northern grasslands.

The picture taken bowed to the Sui Dynasty, which also showed that he, the so-called Great Khan, had come to an end.

Abo Khan, who was once forced to defect to Datou Khan, is now extremely powerful, controlling a vast area reaching Dujin Mountain (Mongolia Hangai Mountain) in the east and Jinshan Mountain (Altai Mountain) in the west.

All the tribes and the Hus of the Western Regions joined in one after another, and the Abo Khan's forces became known as the Western Turks.

There are many sayings in later generations that the Turkic Khanate was divided into Eastern and Western Turks, but in fact, three forces coexisted during this period.

That is, the Eastern Turks split into the Eastern Turks controlled by Shetu, and the Western Turks controlled by Abo Khan, that is, the Abo Turks. At the same time, there also existed Western Turks controlled by Datou Khan.

Western Turks and Western Turks are not the same forces, but later generations often confuse them.

East Turkic Khan took pictures and saw that the Western Turkic Apo Khan's army was getting stronger and stronger, so he finally made up his mind to avoid it. He sent envoys to the Sui Dynasty to ask for an envoy, and moved to Monan, where he temporarily lived in Baidaochuan at the foot of Daqing Mountain.

Bai Daochuan was a sad place to take pictures, he was defeated here, and he was shot in the ass by Cui Che.

Yang Jian readily agreed, and sent Jin Wang Yang Guang to send troops to respond, and to provide food and clothing for the Eastern Turks.

Taking advantage of its power, the Sui army led the army to the west and defeated the Western Turks. However, the Western Turks also divided their troops and surrounded the rear. Taking advantage of the emptiness behind the Eastern Turks, they attacked their tribes and captured their families. Fortunately, the Sui army sent people and animals Retrieve and return all the photographs.

I was overjoyed when I took the picture, so I put it on the table:
"There are no two suns in the sky, and no two kings in the earth. The emperor of the Sui Dynasty is also the real emperor. How dare he stop the soldiers and steal their names!"Today, I feel that I admire Chunfeng, return to my heart with a righteous way, bend my knees, and be a vassal forever. '

He also sent his son Ku Hezhen to Daxing City as a hostage. Since then, the Eastern Turks have attached themselves and paid tribute to the Sui Dynasty.

And the former allies, Datou Khan and Abo Khan also had a relationship with the Sui Dynasty.

In order to defend against the intrusion of the Western Turks, Yang Jian dispatched Cui Che's fellow clansman and Cui Zhongfang, the young minister of agriculture, to conscript 3 strong men to build the Great Wall in the Hetao area. inside.

The emperors and ministers of the Sui Dynasty who only returned to Guanzhong in late March never imagined that there would be another famine in Guanzhong in July.

Fortunately, the excavation of Guangtong Canal by Yu Wenkai has already been completed. It connects Daxing City and Tongguan, with a total length of [-] miles.

At the same time, Cui Che was also sharing the joy of the autumn harvest with the people of Qingzhou. He waved a sickle and was busy in the fields outside Dongyang City.

With Li Chong, Fang Yanqian and others handling the affairs of the general manager's mansion for him, Cui Che had plenty of time and energy to display his acting skills and put on a show in front of others.

Of course, Cui Che also did some serious things during his tenure as the general manager, such as persuading farmers to teach mulberry, organizing the people to dig ditches, etc., and sometimes he went off in person to dig the ditches with the people, making his face full of mud, otherwise, where would he be today? harvest.

Last year, Cui Che asked for tax exemption for the people under his rule on the grounds of disasters in Qingzhou and other places, but this year's tax can no longer be exempted.

The tax collection deadline is in November, and the tax must be collected and shipped to Guanzhong before then.

Cui Che ordered his personal companions to patrol the counties to prevent tax collectors from taking the opportunity to exploit them, and the people in the four prefectures did not make things difficult for Cui Che, and they actively paid taxes.

He also donated millet and wheat to Yicang according to the level of rich and poor divided by the government.

Cui Che strictly divides the ranks, and should be an upper household, so he will not classify people as a lower household for personal gain, which also convinces the public.

After all the rent and taxes were collected and released to Guanzhong at the end of November, Cui Che, who had welcomed his wife and children back, thought that he would be able to relax for a while, and never wanted the imperial court to issue an edict, so he started the second closing of households.
