I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 370 Of course I choose to forgive him

Liu Bian looked at the public opinion conveyed by He Yong, and his impression of He Yong changed.

Historically, at the beginning of Cao Wei's farming, people could earn 40% if they cultivated with oxen, and 50% if they cultivated with private oxen. Although it was 10% higher than the current share of the Han Dynasty, the common people in the fields did not have to bear any taxes.

But later on, the policy of farming was inevitably undermined for various reasons. For example, during the reign of Cao Rui, he felt that the people living in farming were living too well, and that he, the emperor, was living too simply, so he issued an order - come and build palaces. !
In addition to the increasing number of corvees year by year, the share of income has also become a real split between 30% and 70%, with 70% still belonging to others.

When the Sima family came to power in the later period, they openly or covertly allowed the large families to annex the common people and farmland in the fields, which improved the economic foundation of the clan politics of the two Jin Dynasties.

When Sanfu's farm was first established, because it was a civilian village different from the military villages of the past, Huangfu Song adopted a conservative distribution method - that is, allocating income according to output. While ensuring that the people in the farm could have enough food, clothing and clothing and a surplus, It also ensured the court's income.

Since Liu Bian has been thinking about reforming the tax system, he has always maintained a friendly policy towards Sanfu's current farmland policy.

Today, Liu Bian has a deeper understanding of many Han family stories.

For example, when the amount of public land held by the state was still sufficient, in the year of disaster, disaster-stricken people would be recruited to cultivate public land as they do today, and the share sharing ratio would not be much different from today. However, the exemption from tax corvee usually only lasted for a few years at most. When the people affected by the disaster settle down, taxation and corvee will be resumed.

Liu Bian thought that this kind of story should be the reason why the people in the farming areas were worried.

Liu Bian didn't dare to say anything big like maintaining the status quo. After all, Hongnong County and Fufeng had only experienced two natural disasters. He didn't know what kind of situation he would face if he really wanted to rebuild his land in the future. If the whole world really wanted to rebel, what would he do? His current third assistant in the rear must bear more. This is a reality.

Jingzhou... Compared to Xun Shuang, although Liu Biao was known as one of the "Eight Talents", his qualifications were somewhat inferior after all. Although he also made some moves in Jingzhou, he was not as good as Xun Shuang after all.

Therefore, Liu Bian could only avoid the promised promise - now he still wants to lose face, for fear of being slapped in the face.

After thinking about it, Liu Bian decided to write a reply to He Yong, stating that he already knew what the people in the field were thinking, and he would never put any extra burden on the people.

Zhu Jun is in charge of Jiaozhou. Although transportation is inconvenient, Liu Bian still has great trust in this veteran minister.

However, the sound conveyed by He Yong was indeed somewhat beyond Liu Bian's expectations.

It can be seen that He Yong's trip to the countryside is still effective.

As for whether to forgive He Yong? Liu Bian only thought for two seconds before deciding - of course he chose to forgive him.

After dealing with He Yong's matter, Liu Bian came to the screen where he recorded the list of two thousand stones of the counties and counties in the world. Many names he was familiar with including Tian Feng and Zang Hong had appeared in the five states of Guandong.

This matter is still in the discussion stage. The biggest problem is that the establishment of a new county will have to maintain the expenses of the new county government from 2,000 dan to Doushi Zuoshi. However, overall, there are still more voices supporting it.

No matter whether He Yong is pretending or not... as long as he can pretend for a lifetime.

Xun Shuang was present in Yangzhou. After pacifying the Shanyue Rebellion, Xun Shuang had a strong presence in Yangzhou. A few days ago, Xun Shuang even submitted a letter, believing that Kuaiji and Yuzhang in the south of Yangzhou occupied too large an area and should be divided into two counties. Especially in Yuzhang County, which has a population of over one million, there are many mountains and rivers distributed at the same time. It should be divided into two counties and go hand in hand to divide and rule the mountains and rivers.

Liu Bian could reluctantly accept this. Liu Biao was doing something after all, and there were indeed many former Jingzhou barbarians in Jingzhou's household registration books.

But Yizhou... was the one that disappointed Liu Bian the most.

Huan Dian and Zhong Fu were both famous men, especially Huan Dian. His moral character and classical attainments were both good, but his ability to do things made Liu Bian doubtful. Whether his ability was really limited or he was deliberately delaying, Liu Bian was determined not to let Yizhou continue to lag behind like this.

There is still a lot of room for development in the South, especially against the background of global cooling, which makes it easier to farm in the hot and humid South. Compared with northern immigrants, southern indigenous people are undoubtedly more suitable to become the main force in developing the south.

Liu Bian thought about it and wrote down the names of the governors of Bajun and Shujun. It was time to add another servant to his side.

After thinking about this, Liu Bian ordered: "Send someone to the Chancellor's Desk to ask, how did Xun You, the Minister of Huangmen, do in the imperial examination recently? Is it worth two thousand stones?"

Having said that, the process had to go like this, but Liu Bian knew that the answer was yes, and said: "Send Xun You to see me by the way."

Guo Sheng immediately sent out Xiaohuangmen.

Not long after, Xiaohuangmen brought back a positive answer, and Xun You followed suit.

Of course Xun You knew where he would go in the future, but he didn't know exactly which two counties he would be serving as the two thousand stones.

So without saying a few words, Liu Bian went straight to the point and asked: "Gongda, there are two counties of Bashu and Bashu. They can be both. You can choose where to go."

Bajun has a vast territory, adjacent to Hanzhong and even closer to Luoyang. Shu County has a narrow territory. Compared with Ba County, it is located in the core area of ​​Yizhou. The county seat is Chengdu, which is also very close to Luoxian County, which is the state seat.

In terms of population composition, there are more barbarians in Ba County and more Han people in Shu County.

"Gongda doesn't have to give me an answer immediately." Liu Bian said. Of course, his selection of these two counties was not without purpose.

First of all, these two counties represent the essence of Yizhou, with one of the largest populations in Yizhou; secondly, Liu Bian's think tanks also have disputes about the choice, and both places have their own advantages and disadvantages for doing things.

Bajun is more convenient for doing things, while Shujun is more influential.

Therefore, Liu Bian decided to leave the right of choice to the parties.

Cao Cao once said - Loyalty and integrity are the key to conspiring and appeasing both internal and external affairs. The most important thing is Wen Ruo, followed by publicity.

Xun You is already thirty-seven this year, and he has all the experience and experience he deserves, making him worthy of his trust.

However, Xun You did not hesitate too much and replied on the spot: "Your Majesty, I would like to go to Ba County."

"I have three reasons. One is that the people of Shu County are prosperous in Yin. Although there are Qiang, Di and Barbarians, they have not been in chaos for many years. Even if they are as virtuous and respected as General Anxi, it is difficult to make progress. The first is that the barbarians in Ba County rebelled a few years ago. Although it was pacified later, the disaster was not eradicated. One is that Bajun has a vast territory and is more suitable for reclaiming wasteland. If Bajun is a good place, the Yizhou barbarians will understand your Majesty's intention and start farming everywhere in the future. Meeting scene."

"Good!" Liu Bian took Xun You's hand and praised, "With Gongda here, I don't have to worry about Yizhou!"

"Gongda can do whatever he wants in Bajun. If you have anything to do, you can write to me, and I will definitely respond. If there is anyone who is not suitable for writing, you can also send me a private message..."
