Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 867
It was Shang Shu Ling Xun Yu who walked into the servant's platform, his youngest son Xun Shen supported him, the two walked into the mansion slowly, everyone got up hurriedly, and Zhuge Liang did the same, Xun Yu was the same as him. Ling, but at this age or qualifications, Zhuge Liang is still not as good as Xun Yu, and everyone bowed to him, Xun Yu raised his head and looked at everyone with a smile.

"You gentlemen, you don't have to be like this, please get up quickly..." Xun Yu said, then looked around, and said, "Xu'er, help me find a seat." Zhuge Liang said, "Shang Shuling please Take your seat!"

"This old man came here just to discuss the matter of the law with the lords. The law has always been handled by Zhuge Linggong. How can I talk to the superior? Find a seat for the old man in the last table." It's all right." Xun Yu coughed, his words were weak, but Zhuge Liang didn't dare to let the respected Shang Shuling sit on the side, stepped forward to support Xun Yu, and led him to sit on the upper seat.

He was sitting beside him.

Xun Yu sat on the top seat, looked at the servants in front of him, and then said: "You can speak freely, don't be afraid to speak just because I am here, otherwise, I will leave immediately without disturbing you. ", After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhuge Liang who was on the side, obviously indicating to Zhuge Liang to continue speaking, but Zhuge Liang was a little puzzled.

Because no matter whether it was the compilation of new laws or the issue of equalizing the land, this Shang Shuling never made any suggestions. Even after the death of Shi Zhongling, Shang Shuling seldom participated in temple government affairs, so that Zhuge Liang The power in these days is huge, Shang Shuling doesn't care about things, and Zhongshu Ling doesn't care about these things, he spends all day with his grandson, and the power falls in the hands of Shi Zhongling.

When compiling the law, there were even weird things like all the servants in the temple obeying orders and serving orders. However, after sinking for so long, Xun Yu took the initiative to participate in government affairs for the first time, but at such a critical moment Zhuge Liang was not sure whether he was here to help him or to refute him, but Zhuge Liang knew very well what Xun Yu was like.

This is a loyal minister.

No matter at any time, he can even sacrifice the etiquette of the clan and the interests of the children in the family to be loyal to the emperor. Thinking about them, unless you have to, you will not sacrifice your own interests.

If it weren't for Xun Yu's extremely high status, respected by the world, and being the highest-ranking minister of the Han Dynasty, the Xun family would have cut off their ties with him, and all the patriarchs acted for the benefit of the clan. Have you ever seen such persecution? Patriarch of your own clan.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang was not worried about his coming. Such a loyal minister would never oppose Juntian. Zhuge Liang looked at him, smiled, and then said: "Then continue to discuss the law. It is still a matter of farming and mulberry, how should the agricultural and mulberry part of the law be formulated? If you have good regulations, you can tell them.”

This is forcing everyone to agree to equal land. Unless you have a better system, otherwise, just obey Deng Ai and agree to the equal land system.

Sure enough, when Zhuge Liang brought the topic from the future of the great man to the agricultural and mulberry system, most of the opponents were silent. Zhong Changtong thought that business would rejuvenate the country, but he had nothing to say about the agricultural and mulberry system, and the same was true for Cao Zhi , but he did not give up easily, he thought for a moment, and then said: "I think that the current agricultural and mulberry system should be perfect, and the Han Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, why bother to incorporate a system that has not yet been implemented into the law? ?”

"According to your words, isn't it that you proposed to Zhuge Gong about the opening of the curfew? It has not yet been implemented? The crime of curfew should not be abolished. According to the current system, there has not been any turmoil. This is What do you think?" Cao Chong said coldly without showing any face to his elder brother.

Seeing that the two brothers were about to fight again, Zhuge Liang raised his hand to stop their fight.

"Gentlemen, let's talk about the new laws of the land."

At this moment, everyone was speechless. Zhuge Liang nodded and was about to speak when Xun Yu, who was sitting on the top seat, coughed. Everyone looked over, and Xun Xu wiped the corners of his mouth for him. Yu looked at the crowd, and said slowly: "I have another way here, I wonder if everyone can listen to it?"

"Oh? I don't know what Jun Xun thinks?"

Xun Yu looked at his son at the side, Xun Shen nodded, took out a book from his sleeve, faced the crowd, and began to read: "Cultivated land cannot be sold, and the annexation that is becoming more and more prosperous now will be eased. Taxes are collected per person, and taxes are collected according to what the land produces."

"Using Cao Situ's new tax law and the family hierarchy law, the land production is divided into households, etc., and then shared equally. Those who produce more pay more, and those who produce less pay less."

"Cultivated land is owned by the temple in name, and private individuals cannot be transferred and sold, but can be leased. People can reclaim wasteland for their own use instead of owning it. Those who have a lot of land can hand over the cultivated land to others for cultivation, and pay taxes based on the output. Three years is the maximum period, and it needs to be reported to the local county government, and the county magistrate will personally approve it."

Xun Shen spoke very fast, even so, it took more than half an hour to finish reading the content here. When he finished reading, he bowed to everyone and stood behind his father, serving the middle desk. But there was silence inside, everyone was thinking about what he said just now, the cultivated land was still returned to the temple, it looked like an equal-field system, but it was completely different from the equal-field system.

There will no longer be equal distribution of cultivated land, nor will it restrict the transfer of cultivated land in the hands of the people. The production of the land seems to be beneficial to the tyrants. This system seems to be somewhat contradictory, and everyone couldn't react for a while.

However, Zhong Changtong soon realized that he only took assets as the basis and not people as the basis. This obviously magnified the new tax law of Duke Cao in the past, and it was to share the tax burden of the temple on the farmers. According to this law, no matter officials, scholars, merchants, anyone needs to pay taxes, loosen the personal control of farmers, cooperate with the ban on the sale of cultivated land, and restrict the continued annexation of cultivated land by the powerful.

If the land is shared, the common people cannot legally obtain the cultivated land, but under this law, the common people can rent the cultivated land to obtain the cultivated land, of course the tyrants can also, but the tyrants rent and plant the other party’s cultivated land, which is different from preempting, even if the other party’s family is ruined, This land will not be owned by Hao Qiang, which makes it impossible for Hao Qiang to seize the cultivated land through bad means. It has to be returned after renting it for up to three years, and the county magistrate who hates Hao Qiang and the like are watching
OK!This is much more reasonable than averaging fields! !
Zhong Changtong stood up with a smile, and said: "Okay! It is worthy of being Xun Linggong. With this policy alone, Xun Linggong will add 300 years of national fortune to the great man!!" His voice shocked everyone , Zhong Changtong slowly said what he was thinking. After listening to him, everyone understood and started talking about it. Even Deng Ai frowned and began to think.

Only Zhuge Liang frowned. It's not that he couldn't see Gong Xun's new policy, but that the equalization of land was ordered by the emperor. After agreeing to the emperor, Zhuge Liang suspected that even if the emperor read Xun Yu's proposal, he might not adopt it. The land equalization system would deal a huge blow to the powerful and powerful families, almost directly digging their roots.

The meaning of the emperor is obviously the same. The emperor hates those tyrants who hide their population, oppress the people, occupy land, raise dead soldiers, and hide weapons. What exactly do they want to do? !

The big clans in Yangzhou are even building warships, and following the overseas government to go to sea to suppress some small overseas states, the servants on their ships are already similar to private soldiers.

In Yizhou, Liangzhou and other places, behemoths employing tens of thousands of people were born, occupying half of the local land. How can the emperor feel at ease?
Didn't the emperor know the disadvantages of the land equalization system?He is clear, but he is more afraid of these powerful families. Since Emperor Xiaokang, or even earlier, the temple has been constantly suppressing powerful and powerful families. Isn't it the same for the party?However, the more they are attacked, there are more and more tyrants, and all kinds of systems that emerge in an endless stream have not been able to suppress them. The big men are more prosperous, and there are tyrants everywhere.

"Mr. Xun Ling, I think this system is very good. However, this system involves a wide range. I think it's better to call a group of ministers and discuss it." Zhuge Liang slowly got up and said.

"Hey? That's not right, Lord Zhuge, we came here this time just to formulate the law. It's fine to go to the temple after the review. Don't worry, let's make the law." Zhong Changtong said with a smile, Different from the anxiousness just now, he is now quite relaxed, complacent, and the appearance of a villain, so that the few friends around him can't help but feel a little contemptuous.

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes, the words sound familiar, he didn't expect to come back so soon.

"It's such a big deal, don't be in a hurry."

"No, isn't Your Majesty in a hurry to get the law? It must be completed within today, which is what Shi Zhongling said!" Zhong Changtong said again, facing the dignified three orders, he was not afraid at all, even There is a sense of persecution, but he has this temperament, like a king's talisman, not to mention the three orders, even in front of the emperor, he dares to say such words.

Zhuge Liang pursed his lips and looked at Sima Yi beside him.

Sima Yi just lowered his head at this moment, completely ignoring him.

"Mr. Zhuge!!! Hurry up and discuss it!!! As a servant of the supervisory office, I am ordered by Mr. Zhuge to supervise the drafting of laws. This negotiation is forfeit!!!", Zhang Fei stood up, patted his chest, he smiled honestly, and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhuge!!! Mr. Zhuge's orders!! I will definitely do it!!!"

Zhuge Liang looked around, Cao Ang lowered his head, he had already lost his temper when he heard the late Cao Gong's order, Deng Ai lowered his head as early as Xun Yu walked in, Deng Ai was ordered by Xun Yu The promoted one, Deng Ai has always admired Xun Yu very much, and even regarded him as his mentor. Now that Xun Yu came forward, he dared not speak.

As for Liu Ba, when he heard about the opening of tax sources, he was already grinning from ear to ear.

It was supposed to be his home field, but Zhuge Liang suddenly discovered that in the entire waiter's platform, he had become a loner, lost all advantages, and everyone had made a comeback in an instant.
Zhuge Liang slowly looked at Xun Yu who was above him, and Xun Yu was also looking at him. He smiled kindly and nodded.

Good plan, good strategy, from Zhong Changtong, Cao Ang, Deng Ai, to Sima Yi, Zhang Fei, and even yourself, from the very beginning, have you become a chess piece in your hand?From the very beginning, all of this is in line with Duke Xun Ling's plan. Everything is for today, and he has forcefully incorporated his views into the law to offset the land equalization system. He knows how much the emperor attaches importance to the law. , will not change the new law easily, hahaha, I am really stupid.

Zhuge Liang suddenly felt a sense of frustration in his heart, but he was still a little puzzled.

After all, why did Gong Xun oppose the emperor's land equalization system so much?
Does he not know that after today, regardless of success or failure, he will be hated by the emperor?
