Han family achievements

Chapter 199 The power of the Qing family convinces me

After Liu Bian finished speaking, Yang Biao and Wang Yun's eyes immediately fell on Xun Yu's face.

There is not much summer grain, and this year's tax, almost everyone is staring at the salt tax.Now Xun Yu suddenly said 'not optimistic', Yang Biao, Wang Yun's heart suddenly became tense.

There are rebellions, wars everywhere, and the imperial court's tens of thousands of troops are away. If the cooking is cut off, the consequences will be unimaginable!

There was no wavering on Xun Yu's mature face, he bowed and said, "Yes."

Liu Bian slowly stroked the jade pendant around his waist with his right hand, and said, "Is there any other way?"

Xun Yu thought for a while, and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the bandits in Jizhou are too chaotic. Even if it is settled before the end of the year, the salt tax this year will not be too much."

Yang Biao and Wang Yun are different, and their hearts are heavy.

They knew the situation, and the salt tax only seemed to come to their minds suddenly.

"Is there any other way to replenish Taicang?" Wang Yun couldn't help asking.The imperial court had no money, which made him feel terrified and uneasy.

Xun Yu glanced at him, and said: "Yes. First, we will try our best to consolidate the autumn grain, and Hucao's budget can get 5000 million yuan. Second, expand the bank and implement it in Bing, Yan, Qing and other places, led by local officials and gentry, It is estimated to be [-] million. Third, reduce and compress the court expenses, which can save at least [-] million. Fourth, reduce redundant officials. Before the end of the year, another [-] million may be saved. Fifth, Taichang Shihou Zhi manipulated it properly and should You can get [-] million. Sixth, Cao Cao can save money and food in Qingzhou, which is about [-] million yuan. Seventh, if Hu Cao sells the valuables obtained by suppressing bandits at a discount, he can get about [-] million yuan ……ten……"

Wang Yun was in a daze, even if he didn't calculate it carefully, Xun Yu said ten things, at least 20 million, is this called having no money?
It was the first time he knew that the family background of the imperial court was actually so strong!
Yang Biao's mouth was dry, he looked at Xun Yu and hesitated to speak.

During the ten years of the Qiang people's rebellion, the imperial court's taxes were as high as more than 200 million yuan, and the family's wealth was emptied.

So far, instead of recovering, it has dropped sharply, only around [-] million for the whole year.

Xun Yu's words seemed to make sense, but he was instinctively skeptical, and couldn't tell what the problem was for a while.

Yang Biao and Wang Yun couldn't react for a while, but Liu Bian knew it well.

Xun Yu used words such as estimate, budget, and appropriate, but in fact, the operation could not be as smooth as expected.

'In general, there should be about [-] million... Enough! '

Liu Bian narrowed his eyes slightly, his smile increased, he looked directly at Xun Yu, and said, "With Qing's family here, Taicang is worry-free!"

This is the first time Xun Yu has shown his ability, and Liu Bian is very satisfied!

Wang Yun came to his senses a little bit, wanted to get to the bottom of it, and said, "Is there really so many?"

Xun Yu turned to him, and said: "The prince gave Li Cao the plan to reduce redundant officials. The officials have read it. At least 3000 people will be cut. In addition to other expenses, before the end of the year, [-] million yuan can be saved."

Wang Yun stared at him, his eyes wandering.

He was immersed in the plan of 'reducing redundant officials', and actually ignored the matter of saving money and food!
Seeing that Wang Yun was blocked by Xun Yu's words, Liu Bian shook his head secretly.

Xun Yu's words seem to be correct. The problem is that the imperial government's expenditure on the salaries of local officials, many years ago, can only rely on local self-sufficiency, and what the imperial court provides is less than one-tenth of the total!

Therefore, 'reducing redundant officials' can only bring about 'reduction' in name, but in fact there will not be much!

"Wang Qing's house,"

Liu Bian couldn't give Wang Yun a chance to react, and said: "The matter of reducing redundant officials must be properly promoted as soon as possible, and it must be implemented when the dynasty opens next year!"

"The minister leads the decree!" Wang Yun raised his hand solemnly and said immediately.This is his current main job, and with this matter in his hands, his power will surpass everyone!

Ding Yuan didn't squint, and listened to everything in his ears, envious and jealous in his heart.

Seeing that Yang Biao's expression relaxed, Liu Bian said, "Shihouzhi, move out from Taichang and hand it over to Taicang."

"I accept the order." Xun Yu raised his hand in response.

Liu Bian hummed, sat up straighter, and said: "There is one more thing, I'm thinking about changing Jiuqing into a temple, Taifuqing is called Taipu Temple, Dahonghe is called Honglu Temple, etc. Many official titles, powers, etc. Responsibilities and official position structure are sorted out by Shang Shutai.”

Yang Biao's fat face tensed, and he replied, "I accept the order."

This matter is not complicated, it is nothing more than changing the name, and it has no special impact.

Wang Yun didn't speak, but occasionally looked at Xun Yu, always feeling that there were many problems in Xun Yu's words just now.

Liu Bian pondered, and suddenly thought of Wang Lang's previous memorabilia.

It mentioned that Luoyang should be promoted to a "fu", and Henan Yin and Youfufeng were renamed counties to establish Luoyang's special status.

After thinking about it, Liu Bian still felt that he should not act too hastily, and got up and said, "I'm here today, Xunqing's family will follow me."

Several people saluted, and Xun Yu followed Liu Bian out of Shangshutai first.

On the way out of the palace, Liu Bian put his hands behind his back, facing the big sun, and muttered, "How many of the ten things the Qing family said just now can be implemented?"

Xun Yu said: "I can implement it."

Liu Bian paused, turned his head to look at him, his expression remained motionless, but he almost wrote: You think I am Yang Biao, Wang Yun is so easy to fool?
Xun Yu didn't change his expression, he raised his hand and said, "Your words are not false."

Liu Bian thought about the ten items Xun Yu said before, calculated carefully, hesitated a bit, and said, "Can there really be 20?"

Xun Yu and Liu Bian looked at each other, paused, and said, "Your Majesty, the money and food saved by the court are not the current money and food."

Liu Bian blinked, raised his head abruptly, and reacted, and said, "What the Qing family said is reasonable."

What Xun Yu meant was that the saved part was actually numbers on paper.

For example, 'reducing redundant officials', 'Qingzhou Cao Cao's farming', etc., seem to have saved money and food, but in fact the court did not spend it. This part accounted for more than [-] yuan.

Although the imperial court did not pay, it should actually pay, so it is indeed saved.

Liu Bian bypassed this corner, looked at Xun Yu and said, "The Qing family told me truthfully, how much can Taicang raise before the end of the year?"

"Excluding the valuables obtained by confiscating the rebels, it's about [-] million." Without thinking, Xun Yu obviously had a draft in mind.

Liu Bian raised his brows, it was [-] million more than he expected, and said with surprise: "There are so many?"

Xun Yu seemed to hesitate, and said after a while: "If the court needs it urgently, I can raise another [-] million yuan."

Liu Bian was not only surprised, but began to doubt, and asked directly, "How did you get it?"

Xun Yu is young and mature, not only his face, but also his temperament, like a 40-year-old bureaucrat with ups and downs in the officialdom, and a very deep city, he said calmly: "I use the salt tax as a payment, and the salt certificate is used as evidence. A wealthy family, advance the salt tax for the next six months."

Liu Bian's brows kept twitching, and his heart became excited.

This Xun Yu's ability really far exceeded his expectations!

He was still hesitating at first, thinking of cultivating Xun Yu for a longer period of time like Cao Cao did, but he never thought that Xun Yu didn't need him to train him!
Liu Bian narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were shining brightly, his smile was unprecedentedly sincere, and he said, "There is no rush, it is enough for now. I am convinced by the ability of the Qing family."

"I don't dare." Xun Yu raised his hand, with no abnormal expression on his face.

Liu Bian looked at him for a while, then turned around and continued to pace, his mind relaxed and his thoughts became quicker, and said, "I will leave the money and food to the Qing family. By the way, what does the Qing family think of Shangshutai?"

Xun Yu's display of ability made Liu Bian want to help him to the top as soon as possible.

Xun Yu followed behind Liu Bian, and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers and others all agree that there is something missing in Shangshutai, and they should make up for it."

In the original restructuring, Liu Bian and the ministers planned that there would be nine people in Shangshutai, but today, there are only three people, and one of them is the famous Dong Zhuo.

Seeing that Xun Yu didn't understand what he meant, Liu Bian thought over and over again, but still felt a little anxious, and turned to ask, "What do you think about the matter in Jizhou?"

Xun Yu's face was condensed, and he said: "Your Majesty, natural disasters continue, and the situation is like a fire. The rebels everywhere are bound to plunder wildly. The black mountain army has attacked Jizhou for half a year. Xianbei, Wuhuan and Xiongnu will invade the border at any time."

Liu Bian nodded slightly, and said: "The 2 people in Xiahoudun's residence who have not touched Xiahou Dun are worried that Liu Yu will not be able to defend, and that Xianbei and Wuhuan will drive straight in. Next is the autumn harvest, and then the winter. It seems that the war in Jizhou, It's not that easy to end."

Xun Yu said: "I believe that the most important thing now is to defend. As long as Jizhou is defended, the situation will be greatly improved after next year."

Cao Cao recruited a million Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, and the main force of the Yellow Turbans was completely lost. The most important thing now is to stabilize Qingzhou. As long as this chaotic place is stable, the court will save a huge burden!

After next year, the imperial court relieved this breath, accumulated some strength, and Cao Cao was able to get out.

At that time, the initiative will be completely in the hands of the imperial court, and even sending out a large army to conquer the Black Mountain Army will be possible!
Liu Bian paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, thinking constantly in his mind.

Familiar with history, he knows very well that the worst time has not yet come, and things will not go as smoothly as Xun Yu expected.

"Give the Qing family a mission,"

Liu Bian suddenly smiled and turned to look at Xun Yu, and said, "My second son, Princess Eldest, is born, and the Qing family will give him a name."

Xun Yu looked as usual, wondering why Liu Bian suddenly changed the subject, and was about to think when he heard footsteps behind him.

Looking back, it was unexpected, Yu Shi Zhongcheng came trotting over after Fu Wan.

He was out of breath, sweating all over his head, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the playbook of Henan Yin Zhongji."

Seeing that he was so flustered, Liu Bian reached out to take it, looked at him, and couldn't help frowning.

Zhongji was originally recommended by Prime Minister Yang Biao as the prefect of Donglai, but Liu Bian was changed to Huangfu Jianshou, and he was appointed Henan Yin based on Zhongji.

It has not been long since Zhong Ji took office. His memorandum has fierce words and a tough attitude, and the anger between the lines is clearly visible. In the impeachment of Luoyang, Chen Gong's "corruption and perversion of the law", "righteousness and disorderly life", "embezzlement of autumn grain", and "oppression of officials" 'etc.

Although this memorial is 'murderous', it is vague and there is no evidence.

Liu Bianhu's heart was moved, he looked at Fu Wan, and said, "Is there evidence in Yushitai?"

Fu Wan was wiping the sweat from his brow, and hurriedly said: "Return to Your Majesty, Yushitai sent a supervisory censor to Henan Yin, and found that five thousand shi of food from Dacang had disappeared."

Holding the memorial, Liu Bian obviously felt that something was wrong, and said, "Is it really Chen Gong's doing?"
