Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 461 Can that soldier be the commander in chief?
Shen Tujia stood aside, not looking sideways, he was tall, strong and burly, and he looked really mighty.

However, the blue nose and swollen face destroyed this solemn feeling and made him feel a little more joyful.

Shentujia, who was killed from the lower ranks of the army, had a friendly encounter with His Majesty just now. Shentujia was in his prime. He fought with Emperor Gao when he was very young, and he narrowly escaped death again and again. He is not like Fan Kui, who came several times to first ascend and directly served as a general, nor is he like Zhou Bo, who has 100% participation in the whole map and became a generation of famous generals. Shen Tujia's experience is very ordinary, but very extraordinary.

In the first battle, when Fan Kuai roared and climbed up the city wall against the rain of arrows, Shentujia hid among the soldiers and cried out in fear as he looked at his companions who were shot and killed.

When Xia Houying drove the chariot into the enemy line and rampaged all the way, and the main generals he killed started to flee, Shen Tujia shuddered and cut off the first head.

When Zhou Bo was running after the enemy, Shen Tujia was encouraging his nine subordinates, telling them that the war was not so terrible.

When millions of troops gathered at Gaixia and Xiang Yu tore the front like a beast, Shentujia rode a war horse and led his hundred knights to complete the encirclement of Xiang Yu first.

When Cao Can led the army of Qi State to attack Chen Xi's army, Shentujia wore heavy armor and led the soldiers to destroy the city.

When Li Zuoche fought the Xiongnu army to the death, Shentujia led the army to Shuofang and other places alone.

He was promoted step by step. He did not have a very eye-catching operation in each battle, but he survived each battle. His experience seems to be much more ordinary than that of Fan Kuai and others. He may express his thoughts in front of the emperor. Shen Tujia, who is not so ordinary.

Today, Shentujia is standing in front of Liu Chang as a Jiuqing of two thousand stones. Although he is still very young, the years of war have carved indelible vicissitudes on his face. His style has become his habit. He is upright, honest, without etiquette, but he is extraordinarily obedient to orders. It seems that he has integrated the different habits of all the men at the bottom. turn up.

How much does he obey orders?

When Liu Chang said that he wanted to fight with him and let him fight with him without hesitation, this fellow immediately punched Liu Chang on the bridge of the nose without hesitation.

Liu Chang has lived for 29 years. He has always been the one who beats people, and no one has ever dared to beat him.

Liu Chang was punched just because of a moment's astonishment. Lu Lu was stunned, and immediately shouted. Fortunately, Liu Chang responded very quickly. The next moment, Shen Tujia was knocked over by Liu Chang. On the ground, the two strong men fought each other in the Hall of Houde, and Shen Tujia was soon defeated.

Liu Chang sat in the upper seat and rubbed his face.

"I have never suffered such a loss!!"

Lu Lu stood nervously beside him and was about to apply the medicine, but Liu Chang pushed him away, "What are you nervous about? Can he still kill me?!"

Liu Chang looked at Shen Tujia in front of him again, this guy was even tougher than Zhou Chang.

Zhou Chang is very stubborn, he doesn't listen to other people's persuasion, and always slaps Liu Chang, but Liu Chang admires him very much, because for the temple, both Zhang Budo and Zhou Chang are needed. After Zhou Chang retired However, Liu Chang has never been able to find someone who can replace him. Ji Bu and Luan Bu are also very tough, but after all, they are their own benefactors. Their persuasion is different from that of Zhou Chang. He took over from Zhou Chang's position and became the "new brake" in the temple.

At the same time, Shen Tujia is not very old. When Liu An grows up, Shen Tujia can become a new Zhou Chang regardless of his age and qualifications. At that time, he can act as Liu An's brake.

Liu Chang grinned.

"Jia, come here!"

Shen Tujia immediately walked to Liu Chang's side, "I heard that you have an opinion on Ji Bu's New Deal? What do you think?"

Shen Tujia said displeasedly: "Your Majesty, the current ministers in the DPRK are all your former benefactors. These people do not pass the DPRK conference, but they decide important matters and formulate policies in private. Why, how could two people get together to formulate a principle? We can’t check the gaps and fill the gaps, if there is any harm, isn’t it going to endanger the community?”

"Your Majesty is too fond of the ministers, making them forget the system of the temple and act recklessly. This is wrong. Since the temple has corresponding rules, it should handle major affairs according to the rules and systems. How can you act at will? It is because he has a prejudice against the policies of Yushi Ji, and the minister has a prejudice against the current Three Dukes!"

Liu Chang rolled his eyes and asked jokingly, "Do you also have a prejudice against Captain Han Xin?"

Shen Tujia nodded earnestly, "Yes, how can there be a reason for the imperial captain of the dynasty to lead troops abroad for a long time? Sending troops privately, without reporting to the temple, is also a captain. The captain can act arbitrarily, what is the reason for this?!"

Liu Chang was really surprised.

This fellow really dared to say it, he was indeed more stubborn than Zhou Chang.

Those who didn't know it thought it was a newcomer from the Legalists!

"Okay, I understand what you mean, I will arrange it, you don't have to worry."

Liu Chang interrupted the topic, and then asked again: "You came from Nanyue, and you haven't told me about the situation over there."

Speaking of the Nanyue Kingdom, Shentujia became much more energetic, and he said seriously: "Your Majesty, according to His Majesty's original order, I will do cultural and educational matters in Nanyue first, and the sound of birds and birds will no longer be heard in the city. Compared with Wu Chu, there are two more schools, but all the energy is spent on education. In other aspects, the harvest is not very big, and the growth of household registration is slow. In these years, it has only increased by more than [-] people. Wu, Chu, Changsha and other countries”

"Wu Wang Xianming, after Wu Guo became strong, he sent people to build roads, strengthened the connection between South Vietnam and made the communication more convenient. Today, the most people in South Vietnam are the merchants of Wu State, who came to South Vietnam from Changsha State of Wu State to do business. Reached more than 7 people”

"Four docks were built along the coast for trade with Chu, Qi, Jiaodong and other countries"

Shen Tujia first reported the achievements of South Vietnam in these years, and then talked about the shortcomings, "The household registration is too small. In the place with the smallest population, the people of a county may not be as good as the people of a township in the Central Plains. Livestock is in short supply. Some counties There are even more than 100 cattle, which are not enough for farming. The migration of the people is very serious. A large number of people went to Wu and Chu to settle down, and they were unwilling to return to South Vietnam.”

"Waterlogging is more serious, and it has caused great damage to cultivated land for several years."

"There is a serious shortage of officials."

"Infested with Thieves"

"Beasts hurt people."

Following Shen Tujia's narration, Liu Chang's brows were tightly wrinkled, and Shen Tujia said again: "Although the King of Wu was appointed to govern the southern kingdom, after all, the Wu kingdom is the most important thing, and he has also done it for Nanyue over the years. Many things have helped a lot, but the development of Wu State and Nanyue is too different. Wu State has reached the level of the Central Plains, but the changes in Nanyue are not obvious. The Prince of Nanyue Zhao Shi”

Shen Tujia pondered for a moment, and then gave a not very hurtful evaluation, "It's rare."

However, Liu Chang knew very well that what is rare is that he is simply incompetent and blinds the king. If the king of Zhao compares with him, he can be regarded as the king of Yao and Shun.

"It can't be said that the prince is incompetent. The prince goes into the mountains to hunt all day long with the argument of destroying the beasts and pacifying the people."

"Hmph, the dignified king of a country who hunts all day long and does not treat civil servants, is there any reason for this?!"

Lu Lu glanced at Liu Chang and said nothing.

"The biggest problem in the southern country today is that no one wants to come, and the southern country is a wild place."

Shen Tujia shook his head.

Liu Chang stroked his chin, "If this is the case, maybe I can only come forward. When I finish my work, I will bring ministers from all over the country and go to the southern country with tens of thousands of people to play. I went to a dozen of them. Second, presumably all parts of the North have changed their outlook on the South.”

Shen Tujia doesn't know if it will change or not, but if you go to the south at this scale, the south will definitely change, and the treasuries of all countries will be empty.

After finally persuading His Majesty to give up his thoughts, Shen Tujia walked out of the palace rubbing his iron eyes. As soon as he walked out, he saw the most hated enemy.

Chao Cuo.

Chao Cuo didn't have any friends in the court. Looking around, they were all enemies. The relationship between the ministers in the court and Chao Cuo was divided into two types. The first one was those who hated him, and the second one was those who wanted to kill him.Shen Tujia is currently between the first and the second type. He hates Chao Cuo so much that he won't kill him on the spot.

"Lord Shen Tu, long time no see."

Before Shen Tujia finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Chao Cuo hurriedly stood in front of him.

"You came to see Your Majesty this time, but to report the situation in the South?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

"King Wu covers the sky with one hand in the south, and arranges his cronies in various countries. Southerners only know that there is a king but not a son of heaven. Have you ever reported these things?"

Shen Tujia said earnestly: "King Wu will not rebel, and Nan also has no strength to divide the land. It is not a good thing to alienate brothers. I also advise you, don't always try to provoke the relationship between the princes and His Majesty, King Wu. You have achieved great achievements through hard work, and you have made great achievements with the country, if you are apart from Your Majesty, then you are a sinner through the ages!"

"I don't know if King Wu has such an idea. He has such strength. This is the most important thing. Once any new changes occur, the big man will be turbulent again, wars will spread everywhere, ten rooms and nine empty spaces."

Listening to Chao Cuo's words, Shen Tujia stretched out his hand, grabbed his neck, and stared into his eyes angrily.

"Have you ever seen a world with ten rooms and nine empty spaces?"

"Or have you experienced war?"

"What do you know? I talk all day long, and I always think I understand better than anyone else. I am the one who climbed out of the mountain of corpses and blood! If it is said that who is the least willing to let the war restart, that person is me, and Not you!!"

Shen Tujia pushed, Chao Cuo fell to the side, Shen Tujia ignored him, got in the car, and left here.

Chao Cuo stood up and slapped the dust on his body cursingly.

"Help Zhou to abuse, I don't know what to do, but one day, you will regret not listening to me!"

When Chao Cuo walked into the Hall of Houde with a smile, he happened to see Lu Lu applying medicine to His Majesty. Half of His Majesty's face was a little red and swollen. Chao Cuo was shocked and stepped forward, remembering that he had just seen Shen Tu. Jia said with a face, "Your Majesty! Please kill Shen Tujia!!"

Liu Chang waved his hand, "It's just a horn, I'm fine, but this hand is pretty tough."

Chao Cuo pursed his lips and looked at Liu Chang worriedly.

Immediately, he thought, that Shen Tujia's servant could actually hurt His Majesty?How many rounds can I walk with Your Majesty?You can also go on a few rounds of Shentujia on weekdays. Could it be that you and Your Majesty can also do it yourself?
Liu Chang raised his body, moved around a bit, and looked at Chao Cuo kindly, "Wrong, what are you thinking?"

Chao Cuo shook his head and hurriedly woke up, "No problem, Your Majesty, I'm here to present a memorial."

"Oh? Offer?"

"What are you doing standing there, Lu! Serve Chao Sheren some food!"

"Come, come, sit by my side!"

Chao Cuo sat beside Liu Chang obediently, raised his head, barely able to see Liu Chang's chin, Liu Chang stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, the huge difference in body size between the two made Liu Chang's actions look like It's like teasing a child.

Only then did Chao Cuo take out his latest memorial, and Liu Chang hurriedly took it and watched it carefully.

Chao Cuo's new memorial is aimed at the problem of tenants.

At the same time, it is also a new supplement to the original resettlement program.

"You want to re-modify the title?!!"

Liu Chang's eyes widened, and the whole person was a little surprised.

However, Chao Cuo said seriously: "Your Majesty, when the Qin State implemented the military merit system, defeated all the countries, unified the world, the Han Dynasty was established, and the military merit system was the foundation to defeat the powerful enemies inside and outside, and the military merit system played the greatest role, In the minister's view, it is to give the bottom a passage to climb up, so that the place will not be solidified. But now, there are fewer and fewer wars, and the military system has begun to solidify the bottom. If ordinary people are rich, they want to buy farmland, but because There is not enough title to have so much arable land to buy."

"Those who inherited the title, bought a lot of farmland, appointed tenants, and became one after another powerful family."

"The local officials are all held by people with titles, most of them are those who have made meritorious service. These people are good at fighting, but not good at governing. At that time, the Qin State often fought wars and needed such talents, but today's big man, How can this be done by a group of soldiers who govern the place? Some soldiers even take the position of commander-in-chief because of this, but they do not have the corresponding talents.”

"Your Majesty has been breaking down the ranks of the lower ranks and rewarding them continuously over the years, but this is not enough. The minister believes that the rewards, privileges, and canonizations for military merit must be changed."

"First solve the military merit system, and then the large amount of official land and public land that was originally used to reward can be divided among the people. For temples, the role of these lands in the hands of the county is far less than that in the hands of the common people. When the time comes, we can open official fields on the border. As long as they are willing to come, we will reward them with the official fields here, and make detailed standards for the official fields, including what can be sold and what cannot be sold, forever. Granted and Temporarily Lended"

"The official fields in the Central Plains will be set aside first, and the official fields in the southern country will be opened first, attracting Yu Ding from the Central Plains to go there. Yu Ding in the Central Plains misses his hometown and is unwilling to leave, but if they are on the verge of starvation, in order to survive, they must be willing to leave!"

"Official farmland in the Central Plains can be used like this. If there are more than a handful of people in a household who go to the frontier to reclaim, they will be given the same amount of official farmland as compensation!"

"As for the tenants, as long as we set up a special tax, the families with tenants pay more taxes, and this problem can be solved very well. Nowadays, most of the tenants are from the bottom rich families, and these rich families cannot afford such taxes. At that time, a large number of tenants will lose their jobs. His Majesty will ban rangers, increase business taxes, and set up assessments for craftsmen. They will cut off their livelihoods. In order to survive, they will have to go south. !"

"When the time comes, let the local officials do more propaganda, and those who are willing to go to the south will have the officials personally escort them and give them enough food."

What Chao Cuo said was quite indifferent and rude. All the policies were to force these Yu Dings to go bankrupt, cut off their way of life, and let them voluntarily go to the places set by the big man.

Liu Chang pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment.

Chao Cuo immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is not an act of harming the people. With the gradual prosperity of the Han Dynasty, the household registration will increase, the number of Yu Ding will increase sharply, and the tenant households will be several times that of ordinary farmers. Once there are more tenant households, their The treatment will drop, and it is even possible that in order to survive to become a servant of a big family, all the efforts made by Your Majesty will be in vain!"

"The increase in cultivated land is not comparable to the increase in household registration. The limited land in the Central Plains cannot afford to support such a large number of people. If we do not go to various places to reclaim in time, maintain a balance between household registration and cultivated land, and allow large households to annex land, and a large number of tenant households will be established. increase, and one day, a sudden food disaster will kill millions of people."

"This minister is not an alarmist, this is the country's words, the people are stupid, they don't understand what is good for them, and they can only be led by the wise men of the temple to do things. I, the Han, is a country of benevolence and righteousness, and cannot be dispatched like Qin. The army drives the people to migrate, but we can achieve this through the decree of the temple. As for the casualties in the middle, what policy will not cause casualties? Please do not hesitate, Your Majesty!!!”

Chao Cuo stood up and said seriously: "Besides, whether it's banning rangers, raising business taxes, or setting up assessments for craftsmen, it's all harmless things, and it's what a big man should do. Rangers mess up the country and merchants steal. Traitors, and craftsmen with unqualified craftsmanship are harmful to the people. This is the trend of farming and mulberry in the future of the great Han. Now your majesty is not willing to take the initiative to do it, then you can only do it passively!!"

ps: I have already bought the tickets. I plan to go to the blood research institute in Tianjin tomorrow, and then rent a house near the hospital or something. I don’t know if Tianjin is cold or not. I heard that there is no need for isolation when I go there with low risk. I hope things can be done smoothly. Bar.
