Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2392 Unwilling?Unwilling!
Not everyone has the right to veto.

Or when you want to veto, you have to think about "people at home".

For ordinary people, the "people in the family" are mostly their parents and wives, but for people like Xun Yu, and people in the Shandong gentry, the scope of the "people in the family" is Very big.

At least including their families, clansmen, and various relationship networks established by various families.

"What does the Hussar General want to do..."

Xun Yu said softly, as if the breeze had blown the new shoots on the treetops in the courtyard.

Guo Jia was also looking at those sprouts, and he laughed when he heard the words, "What else could it be?"It's what you think...」

Although the temperature in the spring is not high, and there may even be a cold spring, the buds on the treetops still stretch out without hesitation, showing a childish smile to the sky.

"Isn't he afraid? 』

"We are afraid, does he still need to be afraid? 』

"Not afraid..."

"Hehe, hehe..."

A moment of silence.

Basically, Yecheng is relatively stable. Although it is not the kind of "stability" that Cao Cao originally wanted, but at this time of spring plowing, as long as it is in line with the interests of most Jizhou gentry, these guys will not twitch their brains. Come out and sing some stage play.Therefore, the whole Jizhou is busy with spring plowing, there are no disputes, no noise, everything is peaceful and peaceful.

Among the feudal dynasties, who most hopes for a peaceful and prosperous age, where power will be passed on from generation to generation?

Of course the bureaucratic class!
Among the feudal dynasties, who was the first to know that the house had begun to leak everywhere?

Of course it is still the bureaucratic class!
The princes and grandchildren raised in the deep palace are white and tender, like the queen in the ant nest, and they are definitely not the first to know about the external changes.

At the moment of the great man, these officials at all levels who have felt the changes in the great man's body are the children of the gentry.

Among them is Xun Yu.

And Guo Jia.

Xun Yu and Guo Jia, who were born as descendants of noble families, saw social problems, and they also hoped that they could make up for and correct these problems. In some respects, they did quite well, at least compared to those who only knew how to do some superficial things. , The officials posing for pictures are much better.

But still not enough...

Because they infer with their wisdom, all the policies they implement at the moment point to their demise.They knew something was wrong with the big man, he was sick, but they didn't know where the disease was, so they were at a loss for a while, looking around, testing everywhere, and then there was a Feiqian standing outside the side door, smiling, but pointing at their noses ruthlessly, "What are you looking for?The problem lies with you! 』

Suddenly, it was like a bolt from the blue!
"You are lying! 』

"I'm not! 』

"none of my business! 』

First served the three-in-one set meal, and then closed the door with a bang.

"roll! 』

Leaning against the door, the little heart thumped wildly, and then passed through the crack of the door after a while, staring at Fei Qian's figure going away, "Small sample, it's freezing outside, see if you have nothing to eat or drink, you will freeze even if you are hungry." kill you!Don't meet wolf cubs then, cry and beg me to open the door again! 』

Two days later, someone knocked on the door, it was Fei Qian.

He opened the door slightly, reserved, thinking that Fei Qian was coming to beg for mercy.

"Look!This is my bunny!This rabbit's hind legs are delicious, don't you want it? 』

Didn't you come to beg for mercy?

Rabbit meat?
"I put it here for you..." Fei Qian left.

The people in the room looked at each other.

"Let's go now? 』

"gone. 』

"The rabbit meat? 』

"Don't eat! 』

"..."

"If you don't eat it, it's a waste..."

"..."

"It's delicious! 』

"What is the fragrance!At most, they would just beat the rabbits, and they would be hungry and full, so there was not much to be gained!The Zhuanghe in our field is better! 』

A few more days passed.

"Look!This is a newly caught wolf!Do you want wolf fur?Here you go! 』

"Look!It's Beartooth!That bear is too big to move, so I'll give you a few bear teeth as a souvenir! 』

"Look!This is which tiger you have been talking about for 30 years...』

Fei Qian came here again and again.

Then the friends in the room were stunned.

Even though it was blocked at the door, watching the people in the house try their best to crawl out from the crack of the door, jump out of the window, turn out of the smoke hole, and put those wolf skins, bear teeth, tiger claws and other things high Lift it up, hang it on your body in the sun, show off, laugh, play around...

Xun Yu was about to cry, why are you still happy?

Then the little master who was shrunk inside the room coughed, "Ai Qing, Hushi's meat seems to be..."

"Your Majesty! Xun Yu lowered his eyes and sighed faintly, "This is all cut from us!" 』

"Oh..." The little master looked at it with a kind of regret, "You are so pitiful...but it seems...it tastes delicious...Look, aren't you eating it yourself? 』

Xun Yu was in great pain, looking at the word "demolition" in the red circle outside the room, heartbroken.

Because there is no compensation...

In other words, there is compensation, but the gap is too big as originally imagined.

The spring breeze is either warm or cold.

"Your Majesty is moved..."

Xun Yu spoke slowly and coughed twice, breaking the silence in the room.

Guo Jia responded with a whimper, "Oh...why didn't you wake up His Majesty? 』

"Bong Xiao! ’ Xun Yu snorted dissatisfiedly.

"Oh...I mean, why didn't you speak up..."

Xun Yu breathed out, turned his head and looked at the sky, "Didn't you also not advise the Lord?" 』

『What are you advising the lord? ’ Guo Jia asked, ‘Let him lie down?What did we do with him then?Why not just stay with Yuan Benchu? 』

"..." Xun Yu was silent for a moment, "But...doing this...isn't it much different from a hussar? 』

Guo Jia turned his head and asked Xun Yu, "Then what do you think is the difference?" 』

Xun Yu was silent.Because he doesn't know, or he doesn't know whether the so-called difference has any effect, or what kind of impact this kind of difference will have on the future.

"Puff, puff, puff..." Guo Jia couldn't help laughing, and after a while, it turned into a hahaha laugh, rolling on the floor with his stomach in his arms, "Hahahahaha..."

Xun Yu turned his head seriously and stared at the rolling Guo Jia. After a while, his brows and eyes gradually softened, and finally he laughed too, a helpless smile, then closed his eyes, shook his head, and sighed .

After a long time, Guo Jia stopped laughing, lying on the floor like that, and asked: "I am here this time, just want to ask... If we do it once, um, similar, I mean similar Hussars like this Jingping Xiqiang, how much military resources will be needed to break through the battle of the Western Regions?In this regard, after all, you are more proficient...」

Xun Yu closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time. He didn't know if he was calculating silently, or he was thinking about something, and finally said, "If you follow the example of the hussars, to quell the chaos in the Western Qiang and march westward, it will take one billion , it is estimated that it will take one year, and an additional billion will be needed...』

"2 billion? ”Guo Jia raised his eyebrows, “So many? 』

"In order to win quickly.If..." Xun Yu was silent for a moment, "If the previous method is used, it is not advisable..."

"Hehe..." Guo Jia smiled pointedly, and repeated, "If the previous method is used, it is not advisable... Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it... In addition, the current battle between the lord Qingxu ...How much military expenses will it cost? 』

"The initial budget needs 2 million. If it is delayed until next year, it may cost [-] billion..."

"Um? Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then sat up, pondered for a moment, pinched his beard, and said, "Are you including Qingxu's tax deduction?" 』

Xun Yu nodded with a solemn expression. "Naturally it has to be counted...I know what you mean...Did we spend a total of how much money on military funds last year?It’s 7 billion... Last year, the imperial court spent 150 billion... of which only 1.3 billion was used for water conservancy canals and city-state repairs...』

As for the other money spent, of course it was the salaries of the dignified officials of the Han Empire...

After all, the emperor Liu Xie is in Xu County, so the expenses in this area are not small.

"How much was the imperial court's wealth and income last year?" ’Guo Jia asked, ‘You should be the clearest about the result of the plan, right?How much is it? 』

Xun Yu's complexion showed a bit of bitterness, "The land rent is 8 million shi, the tax per mu is 1.3 million, the tax on land and manuscripts is less than 1.8 million, the oral tax and calculation tax are 1.3 billion, and the further tax is [-] billion. Zi... [-] million, as for Shaofu... [-] billion...』

"Leaving aside the Shaofu, this counts as Zi ... too small ..." Guo Jia knocked on the wooden floor and said, "It should be at least [-] billion. Besides, this calculation is not right... Jizhou and Yuzhou... 』

Xun Yu just smiled wryly.

Guo Jia thought for a while, then shook his head and smiled wryly.

"So the emperor back then..." Guo Jia sighed, "Hey, to be honest, I really don't know whether Huqi thought of this or didn't think of this... How about we send the emperor there! 』

Xun Yu became serious, "Fengxiao! 』

"It's fine, you're happy..." Guo Jia waved his hands and said, "Then you have such a big hole, what are you going to do?" 』

Xun Yu lowered his head and said after a long time, "I don't know..."

"Do not!you know! ’Guo Jia patted the wooden floor and made a loud bang, ‘The income of the hussars has grown so fast. On the one hand, it is Hushi's New Deal! 』

"The Hushi New Deal has been implemented in Beidi, Hedong, Shangjun, Guanzhong, Taiyuan, Shangdang and other places, and it is already mature! Guo Jia patted the floor, "We have more land and population than Huqi, rivers, water conservancy, transportation, city, which one is not more than Huqi?"and then?Look at all our taxes, all of them, which one can compare with hussars? 』

Xun Yu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it in the end.

It can be said that this year's taxes have increased, which is better than in previous years, but at the same time, there are more expenses, and among these expenses, they are paid in advance to the powerful local gentry, so the taxes paid A considerable part of the tax money must first be deducted by these local tycoons.

Moreover, Cao Cao still sent his own people to control the main counties, otherwise the income would be even less!

"Where is the money? ’Guo Jia suddenly slapped the wooden floor under him hard, and said angrily, ‘Where is all the big man’s money? 』

Doesn't Guo Jia know where it is?
know.

Doesn't Xun Yu know where the money is?

Also know.

But if you know it, you know that it is very difficult to get this money.

Everyone knows where the big man's money has gone.Even Liu Xie in the palace knew that the [-] yuan per altar of Zuixian wine could be sold out in the market, but the common people had no money, and when they were hungry, they couldn't even afford buns. At the same time, the imperial court had no money to repair roads, maintain facilities and build new water conservancy.

In the past, besides the emperor, the richest people in the Han Dynasty were princes and nobles.

Princes and nobles include kings, princes, princesses, Guanneihou and other prominent dignitaries.These people have fiefs, and their income is divided into two types: public expenses and private support.Public expenses are land rent and household taxes, which are mainly used for things such as meeting the emperor and offering sacrifices to ancestors.Private service refers to the possession of fields, slaves and maidservants in the fief, and the collection of garden merchants' city taxes, etc., for private enjoyment.

The public income of these princes and nobles is limited, so in order to meet their own needs, they must find ways to increase private support. The more common way is to annex a large number of lands and use a large number of tenant farmers, farm laborers and slaves.

Another way is to lend a large amount of money through merchants or simply in person to do usury business.

Therefore, when the emperor wants to implement the so-called policies that are beneficial to the country's people's livelihood such as restricting land property, restricting slaves, restricting lending, etc., he immediately falls into the situation of rebellion, and is often strongly opposed by these princes and nobles. In the end, it often fails. Let it go.

"The hussars are stealing and selling war horses, harming the public and benefiting the public..." Guo Jia sighed, "Hussars said to kill, so they killed it... The Pei family of Hedong is also considered a close branch. If it weren't for Pei Juguang, they would be alert... I am afraid it is the Pei family. The genocide is also within a moment!Sanfu, Hedong, Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu!This is the way of Hussars!That's why we don't have any money, and the hussars don't lack money! 』

If the imperial court wants to get the money back, it must first take action with these old forces.During the 400 years of Dahan, there is a precedent of success and a precedent of failure.The successful precedent is Emperor Xiaowu. He implemented a series of measures, killed many people, and succeeded.The precedent of failure is Wang Mang. When Wang Mang was in power, the big man had already fallen into a deep crisis. Wang Mang also implemented a series of measures and killed many people, but he failed, and finally let Emperor Guangwu take advantage of it.

Therefore, when Fei Qian first implemented the New Deal, many people thought that Fei Qian would follow in Wang Mang's footsteps, and then just wait for the cheap ones, and they didn't need to work hard to fight.As a result, he suddenly discovered that the clown was himself who was watching.

Whether it is Emperor Xiaowu or Wang Mang, they all started to restructure under the premise that the country of Dahan was basically stable, but the current turmoil in the country of Dahan, the risk of reorganization is naturally much higher than that of Xiaowu and Wang Mang!

"Dong Thief brought disaster to the country, Heluo was ashamed, Sansuke lost! Guo Jia sighed, "So at that time we thought that Guanzhong Sanfu was over, but we didn't expect this to be an opportunity for the rise of hussars!"The powerful households of various ethnic groups in Guanzhong, etc., suffered in the chaos, just like ordinary people!Therefore, when the Hussars implemented the New Deal, the local government was powerless to resist!But now that the new policy is in full swing, it is like a torrent of water that bursts a dike, rising from high to low, unstoppable...』

"When the hussars take Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu into their hands again, people, wealth and property will be like mountains and mountains, and seas and deeps!"What will you and I use to block it then? ”Guo Jia patted his chest, “A certain person can fight with flesh and blood for the lord, but what about the others?Hussars and iron cavalry gallop across Longxi and the Western Regions... 36 countries, how about us?How many cities and countries can be blocked? 』

"You still ask me why I don't persuade my lord..." Guo Jia sighed, "How can I persuade you?"Do you think the lord doesn't know this?You think I'm here for a drink?It is the meaning of the lord! 』

"My lord's intention..." Xun Yu said in a low voice.

Guo Jia slammed and fell back, "Anyway, I don't care...Guo's present...hehe, it doesn't matter if I am...Anyway, those guys didn't like me back then, but now...hehe, it's you...what do you want? manage? 』

"The battle between Qing and Xu will definitely not be fought for long... That kid from the Sun family is not clean under his own butt..." Guo Jia's moaning voice became smaller and smaller, "Guangling was divided into two, and Taishan Army demolished it." Halfway, Xiapi cleans up, Qingzhou cleans up, and then naturally Yuzhou, Yuzhou doesn't move, Jizhou can't move...』

"But... how can the officials supplement it? Xun Yu asked, "Could it be that... Ying Chuan was transferred?" 』

"Yeah, that's why I'm here..." Guo Jia nodded, "You must agree, otherwise it's not easy, isn't it..."

Xun Yu smiled wryly.

On the one hand, I have to pay for my own business, and on the other hand, I have to work in other places, and I can't make money, and I have to endure hardships.How many nobles are there in Yingchuan...

wrong.Not just Yingchuan.

My lord, does this mean that you want to use a large number of poor families, or the lower-level children?
Xun Yu closed his eyes in pain. He could even foresee that if this was the case, on the one hand, the tyrants would lose their financial resources, and on the other hand, they would lose their power. !

Will these Shandong gentry accept this arrangement willingly?

Certainly not reconciled!
Um?Still not right!

Xun Yu suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and turned to look at Guo Jia, "This is not what my lord meant!It's your idea! 』

"You...remember? ”Guo Jia’s voice was faint, “I just thought of it at this time?If you care about it, you will be in chaos..."

"Even so, it's inappropriate..." Xun Yu said, frowning.

Guo Jia waved his hand feebly, "What if it's not right?Do you have a better way?Yes, you just say...Anyway, Qing Xu will fight for a while...If not...hehe...」
