Han family achievements

Chapter 414 Returning Carnage

This Qiao family is 'Qiao Yicheng'. I don't know how many other 'Qiao Bancheng', 'Qiao Wanmu', and 'Qiao Qianqing' are there. How to change it?
Various wars have led to the fragmentation of the country, and the people have fallen into unprecedented disasters. Only the country and the people can bear the consequences. However, the nobles in the middle took the opportunity to enrich the national wealth. After a brief period of panic and confusion, they quickly In response, through various means, land, food, money, and people were devoured and expanded at an unprecedented speed.

In this special era, if you have land, money and food, you will naturally not be short of people. When the imperial court was weak and lost control of the local area, these nobles naturally took their place.

When the gentry became stronger, it was the country and the people who suffered. The country further weakened and was unable to maintain stability, while the people had no land, no food to eat, and no clothing to cover their bodies.

If things continue like this, the country and its people will fall into an abyss of endless suffering from which they will be unable to extricate themselves.

Huangfu Jianchang, Zhao Yun, and Dian Wei followed Liu Bian and did not dare to answer.

The 'New Deal' has always been controversial. I don't know how many people have accused the 'New Deal' of being 'whimsical and idiotic'.

The imperial court even formed a certain convention of 'resisting acquiescence' - resisting the 'New Deal' and 'acquiescing to the New Deal' at the same time.

The reason for resistance is that the 'New Deal' is too large, complex, and 'impractical', and is therefore selectively implemented. The reason for 'acquiescence' was that the palace was too powerful and valued both benevolence and power, so they could not refuse. Verbally, no one from the Shangshutai and the Six Cao officials had objections.

As close ministers around Liu Bian, they all know the difficulties faced by the "New Deal" and the determination of His Majesty in front of them to eliminate the bad government and revive the Han Dynasty.

Huangfu Jianchang wanted to open his mouth several times to say something comforting, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Still on the land..."

When walking out of the gate of Lieren County, Liu Bian suddenly said to himself.

It is an established national policy to crack down on the evil gentry and powerful people, but the root of the problem lies in the land.

In this era, land is everything, and all activities are based on land. As long as land reform is done well, it can not only enrich the people and strengthen the country, but also weaken the power of the gentry.

To a certain extent, the relationship between the common people and the landlords and gentry is naturally hostile. Only when the common people's side is completely defeated will they have to sell themselves and take refuge.

Of course, there is also the uprising and resistance.

After Liu Bian read the gift list, he threw it to Huangfu Jianchang and said with a smile, "Second Young Master, where is the gift you mentioned?"

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Jianchang quickly said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is already in Chenliu County and will be delivered soon."

Liu Bian looked in the direction of Chenliu County, suddenly reined in the horse's head, and said with excitement and fighting spirit: "The news of my appearance in Lieren County will probably spread soon. Go slower, let's look back and go again." Chenliu County.”

"Yes." Zhao Yun and Huangfu Jian responded.

As Liu Bian expected, not long after he left Lieren County, the news of his appearance in Lieren County quickly spread throughout Lieren County and spread crazily in all directions.

Luoyang City, Imperial Palace.

The Shangshutai is more than ten times busier than before, and the number of people has been expanded again and again. The Shangshutai is connected to six corridors, with more than a hundred people coming and going.

Zhong Yao entered the prime minister's duty room from the outside and said with a headache: "Your Majesty is not in the palace, and the Second Highness is going to cause chaos..."

Xun Yu acted as if he had not heard anything and said: "Wu Jing submitted a 'detailed description of the reform'. I think it's okay, and you should take a look too."

After Zhong Yao sat down, he took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "I've seen it, it's too vague." He also paid attention."

Zhong Yao had a look of exhaustion on his face and said, "I met He Yong the day before yesterday. He wanted to return home and asked me to let him go."

"We can't let him go just yet."

Xun Yu objected, and then said: "A lot of landless people have been registered in Bingzhou and Sili. In the name of 'another people', it is top priority to allocate land to them first, especially the land of Sanfu."

Seeing that Xun Yu still refused to let He Yong go, Zhong Yao felt helpless and had no intention of persuading him. He said: "Okay, I will coordinate with Luoyang Prefecture Yin to do it. Speaking of which, Zhou Yi was very enthusiastic this time and started doing things. There is no one who is more diligent than your Majesty day and night."

"Hopefully he's not a temporary person,"

Xun Yu opened the official document again and said: "The salt fields in Jizhou need to be further controlled and the salt tax must be raised. In the next few years, we will have to rely on the salt tax to live."

Zhong Yao suddenly remembered, nodded heavily, and said: "You are right. I have discussed with Ying Shao before. The imperial court will send salt envoys to take charge of production, transportation, and distribution, and ensure that all profits are returned to Taicang. Preliminary estimates , one hundred thousand yuan next year is the minimum, it is enough. "

One hundred thousand coins was a huge sum of money for the current Han Dynasty!
Xun Yu approved a few words, and then said: "Over in Yuzhou, Liu Yao's plan is pretty good, and Liu Bei is willing to put it into practice. Overall, it's pretty good."

Zhong Yao hummed and said, "There is also the matter of this autumn's major exam. The officials and officials estimate that there may be more than 10,000 people applying for the exam this year, and they plan to register one out of ten to make up for the shortage of officials in the imperial court and local governments."

Xun Yu stopped writing, then slowly raised his head, looked at Zhong Yao and said, "I plan to find another official, Cao Shangshu, what do you think?"

Zhong Yao's expression suddenly changed, he turned around suddenly, stood up immediately, came to the door, carefully checked that there was no one else, and shouted to the small room not far away: "No one is allowed to come near without my permission and the permission of the Prime Minister!"

When the clerk who was sorting out the documents heard it, he ran out, stood not far from the concierge, and said, "Yes."

Zhong Yao sat back with a solemn look on his face and said in a deep voice: "No!"

Xun Yu and Zhong Yao looked at each other, then looked away for a moment, staring at the official document in their hands, and kept thinking.

Xun You also served as the official Cao Shangshu. Although he did not take care of the autumn exams, he managed the appointments of these admitted scholars. Therefore, Xun You's power was to a certain extent greater than that of Xun Yu, the prime minister.

Logically speaking, Xun You controls the world's officials, which is beneficial and harmless to their implementation of the "New Deal" and governance.

However, as the conflict between Xun Yu and Xun You deepened, especially the palace's fear of the "Yingchuan Party", Xun Yu deliberately weakened the "Yingchuan Party".

But once he takes action, it will inevitably cause a strong backlash from Xun You, to the point of breaking up, the chancellery may be emptied, and Xun Yu will become a short-term prime minister.

This is the fundamental reason for Zhong Yao's opposition!

Seeing that he was silent, Zhong Yao took a deep breath and said more solemnly: "Unless it's mentioned in the palace, you can't mention it again, or even have any thoughts!"

Xun Yu also knew very well, so he hesitated.

'Government of officials' is a very important part of the 'Five Years of Jian'an Policy Outline', but it is all in the hands of Xun You. Whether it is the dismissal of the old or the appointment and dismissal of the new, very few Shangshutai can intervene.
