In Pingyu City, Cao Cao personally inspected a group of recruits who had just been recruited. Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers, under the command of XiahouDun, Cao Cao was very happy.

"Well, more than 10000 new recruits have been recruited so quickly. Within one year, the army will be expanded by 150000, which is more than enough."

Xi Zhonghui reported: "so far, more than 600000 people have moved from Liu Hezhi to the cities under the jurisdiction of our army. Among them, more than 70% of them are rich families and servants. They sold their property, brought their families and moved here, and now they are resettling everywhere. According to this situation, in a year's time, at least 23 million people will move here. "

"Good." Cao Cao clapped his hands and laughed.

"With these people, these big families will come here, and our army will have more troops and pay more taxes. All taxes will be reduced by half within two years for those who move from Si, Liang, he, Ji, you and Qing. If a large household offers servants, doormen and men to serve in the army, every 30 people will be taxed for half a year. "

"Yes, I'll do it now."

After Xi Zhong retreated, Guo Jia said, "my Lord, this plan is really brilliant. After the story spread all over the country, the people who came to seek refuge were bound to be even worse. Now, in less than two years, the people under Liu Hezhi had to move to other places, most of whom came to Henan and Jingzhou. "

Cheng Yu echoed: "not bad. Those who fight for heaven and earth are the first to fight for the hearts of the people. The day when the Lord wins the hearts of the people is the day to win the Central Plains. "

"Ha ha ha This is the plan of all the princes. I have your help. Why worry about the big things? "

Cao Cao was in a good mood. He took the crowd around the school. When he was about to leave, Xi Zhong suddenly came back.

"My lord It's a great joy, a great joy... "

Cao Cao was puzzled and said, "what's the happy thing for Zhicai?"

Xi Zhong laughed and said, "my Lord, Liu He's son, actually published a list of articles all over the world and announced that taxes would be increased at the beginning of August this year."

Cao Cao was stunned for a long time, and then murmured, "what idea did Liu he play? Is it not that he lost his heart and went mad?"

Cheng Yu said: "this is also reasonable. Liu He fought against the main bus in Yuzhou for many times. He never won the battle. His golden sword camp and Han soldiers were broken by our army. In addition, the rebellion of Xiqiang, Gaogouli and Fuyu made his army tired. Therefore, he must be as eager as the Lord to expand the army. However, at this time, many people, confused by rumors, fled from their places under their jurisdiction, and their taxes and military resources were greatly reduced. Instead of taking action when they were wounded in the future, it is better to levy taxes now, expand their forces rapidly, and then seize and fight with our army. "

Xi Zhong also nodded: "my opinion is the same as Zhongde. I think that Liu He's move is a long-term pain rather than a short-term pain. His intention is to destroy our army in the first World War, and then it will not be too late to reduce taxes again. "

However, Cao Cao was not as happy as they were: "in that article, can you mention how to increase taxes?"

Xi Zhong said, "yes. It is said that if the paddy field is less than 20 mu, the land tax will remain unchanged, the same as in the past. For the above, the land tax is changed to 40 tax per mu, 35 tax per mu for three times of this amount, and 15 tax per mu for five times, 30 for 1, 10 times, 25 for 1, 20 and more. Every two mu of dry land is converted into one mu of paddy field. "

"In addition, Liu he abolished the oral tax, that is, those under the age of 15 would no longer pay any tax. However, at the same time, the Levy of guest tax was based on the number of family members, servants, servants, maids, etc. according to the number of people, the tax rate was also different."

"What's more, from now on, from the central government to the States, counties and counties, the government will re count the land and population of each household and household. After that, it will be re examined and approved once a year. If there is any concealment or tax evasion, it will be punished as a crime of conspiring against the state. If the amount of concealment is huge, it can be sentenced to the death penalty of copying the family, punishing the nine ethnic groups, and even putting to death at a high speed."

"At the same time, Liu he reduced the industrial and commercial taxes, abolished the vehicle and ship tax, and even reduced and reduced the customs duties in various Hu cities, ranging from 20% to 34%

Hearing this, the people were stunned: "crazy Liu He is really crazy. "

"Yes, in this way, will not those big families and rich families be offended completely?"

"Although ordinary people and common people are inconvenient to pay land tax after the imperial edict, the delicious tax does not have to be paid any more, saving a lot of money and food, but they can't pay much tax in a year. What's the use of flattering them? All of these big tax payers fled, while the taxes of the common people were reduced or remitted. Liu He's move is almost like a death hunt. "

All of them agreed that Liu he had hysteria and wanted to die.

Cao Cao was also puzzled: "what does Liu he really want to do Do you really want to take the world's public opinion, just to show kindness to the civilians and merchants? "

At the same time, in Liangzhou, Jincheng county.

Guan Yu and Cui Jun personally led the troops and horses and were responsible for calming down and seizing the rebellion of Xiqiang. They fought many times. Although Xiqiang had been defeated repeatedly, they were familiar with the terrain and traveled through the mountains of Liangzhou and Sichuan all the year round. Therefore, when they were defeated, they fled into the mountains, and the imperial army could hardly chase them.Because of this, even if he won many times, Guan Yu was still not happy. The lying silkworm eyebrows had been squeezed to one place and could not be seen to stretch for many days.

However, at this moment, his expression seems not to have the anger and upset of the past, but to pace back and forth, appear a little anxious.

He was sitting on a book with great relish, but he did not know what his position was.

Guan Yu looked at him and said, "Zhou Ping, how can you still have the heart to read?"

Cui Jun couldn't laugh or cry: "what? What do you teach me to do without reading? "

"This..." Guan Yu was asked for a pause.

"It's all about the imperial court. Why aren't you in a hurry?"

Cui Jun said with a smile: "Yunchang, you are going to rot the floor of this hall. What can you do for it? Your Majesty's brilliant plan, once used, will completely stabilize the Western Qiang rebellion that has plagued our Han for a hundred years. Hundreds of thousands of Qiang people will also be used by the imperial court. Your majesty has such a wonderful plan. It is God's blessing, your Majesty's wisdom, and cloud Chang should be happy. "

Guan Yu sighed heavily: "well, I also know that big brother's plan can change the world once it succeeds. It is because of its importance that I am so anxious. All parties have been out for many days and no news has been received. How can I not be in a hurry? "

Cui Jun also knew his temper. He knew he couldn't persuade him. Fortunately, he didn't pay any attention to it. He continued to read his book.

"Good book, really good book..."

"Report..."

A very long voice came in from outside the door. Guan Yufeng's eyes opened abruptly and went up quickly.

"But can we find out where the Qiang people are?"

The visitor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Hui general, his subordinates and others dressed up in disguise and hid their tracks. They followed the Qiang army for many days and finally found a good opportunity."

Guan Yu's eyes were bright, and Cui Jun couldn't sit still. He got up and surrounded him.

"Which tribe is it?"

The man replied, "it's Bonan Qiang."

"Good, great!"

Guan Yu was very excited. He rubbed his hands and paced back and forth again.

Cui Jun said: "this Bonan Qiang once surrendered to the imperial court and had many business contacts with the imperial court. This time, along with many tribes, they rebelled together. It is said that their leaders are greedy and want to force the court to bow down and keep them away from the mountains and occupy the land of Liangzhou. Well, it's a great candidate indeed... "

"What are you waiting for? Count your troops quickly. "

Guan Yu rushed to Cui Jun, looking forward to it.

Cui Jun stroked his beard and thought for a moment. Guan Yu followed him closely, trying to urge him, but he was afraid of disturbing his mind.

Soon after, Cui Jun clapped his hands: "good, the troops are very fast. Please point the troops immediately. I'll send out the troops."

"Well, I'll wait for that."

Guan Yu seemed very excited and rushed out without saying a word.
