The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 5 Seeking Knowledge of Fuling County ([-])
After Guan Yi freshened up, she visited Zhuge Zhan in Guan Tong's study.

Zhuge Zhan unceremoniously took the main seat, while Guan Yi was resentful but still sat down with a smile on his face.Accompanying the visitor was old man Liao.

Liao Hua and Guan Yi didn't actually leave after talking about Guan Yi's job direction just now.Instead, he was entrusted by Guan Yi to do the ideological work of Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Wu, and Mrs. Liu—the same as later generations of Beijingers think that all parts of the country are countryside.In the Shu Han, people who have lived in CD for a long time take it for granted that the entire Shu Han except CD, other places are barren mountains and wild mountains.If the three old ladies didn't communicate well in advance, it would be embarrassing after the three old ladies and even Her Royal Highness over there shouted that the court abused the hero.

Liao Hua managed to appease the three old ladies and made them reluctantly accept Guan Yi's arrangement to go out of Zhiwai County.Here Zhuge Zhan came to visit.So Mrs. Huang hurriedly asked her slave to ask Guan Yi to come out to meet the guests.

The Guan family's martial arts is passed down to the family, and the house slaves also know how to do it half-way.The servant who came to deliver the message saw that Guan Yi had entered the realm of forgetting both things and himself, and knew that his master's breakthrough in martial arts was just around the corner.So I didn't dare to bother, and hurriedly reported back.Of course Liao Hua was overjoyed when he heard the news, but he felt that it was not good to let Zhuge Zhan out, so he took Zhuge Zhan to the place where Guan Yi performed martial arts.I also gave Zhuge Zhan a detailed explanation in advance, and Zhuge Zhan also expressed his understanding-in the end, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional. Anyway, Guan Yi was interrupted when he was about to break through-fortunately, this time It's not a martial arts novel, there is no such thing as skill backlash.But both Liao Hua and Guan Yi knew that if they wanted to find such a feeling, it would depend on their luck.

Zhuge Zhan wasn't ashamed at all to interrupt Guan Yi's opportunity to break through.Instead, he opened his mouth very bluntly: "Zifeng, Zixu died in battle, and you will inherit the title of Marquis of Hanshouting. This is the first Marquis conferred by the late emperor. You must do your best, and don't humiliate me." The prestige of this lord."

Who the fuck are you?Teach people a lesson as soon as you come up?

"Here! Yi always remembers the servant's instruction."

Seeing Guan Yi's low-browed and pleasing expression, Zhuge Zhan was very satisfied.After stroking his beard, he said again: "I came to the mansion three days ago and happened to meet you fainted. I couldn't explain to you well. Today I heard that you have recovered, so I rushed over here."

"Tired servants have been going back and forth many times, and Yi feels deeply guilty. I don't know what orders the servants have?"

"Well, what I want to tell you is that the funeral for Zixu is almost finished. The imperial court is going to grant Zixu the title, and make arrangements for Zifeng's succession to the title. Zifeng must also be granted a post. On this matter, I would like to warn Zifeng, don't have any extravagant thoughts!"

Don't think that just because your surname is Zhuge is very powerful!There are many examples of tiger father and dog son!Believe it or not, I will immediately push you to the ground and destroy your chrysanthemum!Of course, with cucumbers!

"Don't dare, thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. Guan Yi will take what the court gives. Guan Yi will never ask for anything that the court does not give."

"Thunderstorms, rain and dew are all the grace of the king? This sentence is not bad. Zifeng has learned more and more recently. Well, let's talk about business. Today, your majesty talked about your affairs with Shang Shuling. Your majesty means that you want you to attack the Jue Hanshou Pavilion Hou, the Guan family added 150 households. After your three-month filial piety period expires, you will serve as the left guard."

You don't know that there is another sentence behind Thunder and Rain called "Yangliu Mouton are not concubines", right?Big idiot!Also, as a confidential secretary, of course you can hear the conversation between the President and the Prime Minister, but you are so impatient to show that you are well-informed, you are really a fool!But Emperor Liu Chan was really kind to the Guan family.In addition to the original basis, another 150 households were allocated to the main family, that is, 500 people!How many people does the Shu Han government actually control now?Less than 30 households, at most 100 million people (1).Liu Chan is really generous to his family.

"Your Majesty is too kind to the Guan family! I'm ashamed of myself!"

"Well, so I hope Zifeng will not accept this reward."

"Follow the servant's orders."

"Yes." Seeing Guan Yi, he readily agreed.Zhuge Zhan was also very satisfied: "About your whereabouts, I discussed with Gong Xi (Dong Jue) and Chang Yuan (Fan Jian). Since Yanxi, the imperial court's taxes have been reduced by one day, and the government's registers have been reduced by one day. One day is too thin. The root cause is nothing more than the aristocratic family encroaching on the small people, causing the people to enter the manor of the aristocratic family and become domestic slaves, thus disappearing from the imperial government's register of people."

"However, Jiang Boyue conquered Cao Wei every year, and he often asked the court for a lot of money and food. After the battle, the court asked for compensation for the dead soldiers, and for the disabled to provide for the elderly. The court treasury has gradually been overwhelmed..."

This guy talked a lot of nonsense in a heartbroken way, and Guan Yi automatically adjusted his ears to the closed state after hearing it, and finally said what Guan Yi wanted to hear: "What I mean by waiting is that I hope Zifeng can do a good job. The magistrate of the county or the sheriff of the lower county. Check the land, suppress the annexation, find out a group of moths who ignore the court's laws, and enrich the treasury... We also know that this is wronged Zifeng. But the country is in trouble, the people's livelihood Concealment. After Zifeng has become an important minister of the founding of the country, please abandon your own interests and take up this responsibility!"

Well, although your hope and my plan are actually the same.But I'm really upset when you talk to me like this!Also, why did I have to sacrifice myself?Why don't Zhang's family sacrifice, don't Dong's family sacrifice, why don't your Zhuge family sacrifice themselves?
Forget it, the situation is stronger than people.Who made my father's name Zhuge Gang.

"As ordered! Guan is duty-bound!"

"Very good. If so, please ask Zifeng to decline His Majesty's reward when the time comes, and then submit a letter asking yourself to know the county. I will leave."

……

Quiet, very quiet.After sending Zhuge Zhan out of the gate, Guan Yi and Liao Hua returned to the study without speaking to each other.After staying there for quite a while, Guan Yi stood up suddenly, and threw a vase in the study to the ground: "Zhuzi! You are too bullying!"

"Hey, Zifeng. Although Zhuge Siyuan is too arrogant. But since he became an official, he has never used his power for personal gain. Internally, he has been strict with Zhuge's family members so that he can abide by the rules and not enrich himself. He is still a gentleman."

"Uncle, of course Yi knows that this guy is a gentleman in character. But such a gentleman is really annoying!"

"Hey, of course I know that you are upset. But your answer in front of Zhuge Siyuan just now was very good. So, it can be regarded as coincident with your plan. This matter should be accomplished."

"Well, it's still tiring for my uncle to help Yi find candidates for his staff."

"Well, this is my job. You can go out after the first seven days. You can only take office after the three-month filial piety expires. During this time, I will arrange for you to meet some young talents."

"Thank you so much, Uncle."

"It's okay, it's getting late, I'll go back."

"Yi sends off uncle."

Population issues during the Three Kingdoms period:
In this book, the population controlled by pig's feet is the foundation of pig's feet, money, food and military strength.So here is a detailed description of the population.

The population of the Chinese Empire has always been a headache for historians.Because there is a considerable gap between the population on the national books and the actual population in society.

The population on the national books, except for officials, businessmen, and artisans, is mainly self-cultivating farmers.This is taxed to the state.Generally speaking, the actual population in society is always greater than the population on the country's books: those who are hidden by aristocratic families, those who are deep in the mountains and old forests are not within the effective control of the country, and use various means to erase their names from the country's books tax evasion.Etc., etc.

Generally speaking, when the country's politics are clear and the central government is strong, the country's book population and the actual population of the society are relatively close.On the contrary, there is a big difference.

Specific to the Three Kingdoms period.When the Shu Han destroyed the country, there was a mouth of 94 in the national account.At the time of Cao Wei's abdication, the population on the national account was 440 million.When Soochow destroyed the country, the population on the national account was 230 million.

Note that this is only the population on the national accounts.And what about the actual population?Not sure.However, according to the calculation of "General History of Chinese Population", Shu Han actually had a population of 400 million, Eastern Wu actually had a population of 500 million, and Cao Wei actually had a population of 300 million.

During the reign of Zhuge Liang, the Shu Han suppressed the powerful landlords and protected the self-cultivating farmers.The population controlled by the state is at least 100 million or more.In the later period of the Shu Han Dynasty, when Chen Yu was in power, the implementation rate of the national policies of the Shu Han decreased, the powerful forces rose, and the annexation of the farmers intensified. The actual population of the Shu Han increased, but the population controlled by the government decreased, and the power of the country continued to weaken. situation.
