Great Military Division

Chapter 387 The new rich model of aristocratic families!

"Report—!"

At this moment, a long announcement sounded outside the hall.

Liu Bian looked up.

But seeing, Zhu Tong pushed the door open and entered, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Shi Jiaxu, the head of the school, I have something to see."

Liu Bian waved his hand and said loudly: "Let him in."

Zhu Tong nodded: "Well."

Immediately.

Bow down and leave the hall.

Not long after, Jia Xu came to Wende Hall, stepped forward, and bowed: "Your Majesty."

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal him to sit aside: "Wen He is here, is there something urgent?"

Jia Xu bowed his head, "Your Majesty, the news of success came from Guanzhong."

"Oh?"

Liu Bian frowned: "Good news from the Guanzhong direction?"

Jia Xu nodded and handed over the information: "This is Xun You's Flying Pigeon Letter, I hope Your Majesty will have a look at it."

Liu Bian received the information, unfolded it, his eyeballs rolled up and down, and his brows immediately beamed with joy: "Oh? Yuan Kai actually attacked Ma Teng and Han Sui, but was cut off by Gongda?"

"Hahaha!"

Speaking of this, Liu Bian looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "This is really a surprise, doesn't it mean that we stabbed Yuan Kai severely in the back of Guanzhong?"

Jia Xu nodded affirmatively: "That's right, that's exactly the case. Now Xun You has successfully occupied Long County, Yicheng, and Xiaoguan, completely cutting off the way for Guanzhong soldiers and horses to enter Liangzhou."

"Oh?"

Liu Bian's interest soared, he got up hastily, and came to the side sand table.

Today's sand table is already the sand table of the fourteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, and every place is marked.

Jia Xu pointed to the territory of the city in the direction of Liangzhou: "Your Majesty, Yicheng, Longxian, and Xiaoguan are here, each with [-], [-], and [-] soldiers, and Linwei City has gathered more than [-] defenders. .”

"it is good!"

"Okay!"

"that is really good!"

Liu Bian couldn't hide his excitement, and said three good words in a row: "Gongda has really made a great contribution, Yuan Kai is sure to die this time, as long as we search for all the evidence, we can completely eradicate him."

If we act now, at best it will only recover the lost ground in Guanzhong, and it will be difficult to uproot Yuan's power. Only by fully grasping the evidence of Yuan Kui's crime can we wipe out the power of his surrender in one fell swoop.

As long as a super giant like Yuan Kai can be eliminated, the remaining power of the family is not worth mentioning at all. Liu Bian doesn't even need to rely on the two-line method to hybridize rice to control them all in a healthy stage.

Jia Xu bowed his head: "Your Majesty, Gongda asked about the next battle instructions. Judging from what he expressed, he still wants to raise troops as soon as possible, without giving Guanzhong any time to react."

"No need!"

Liu Bian denied without hesitation: "Yuan Kai is already doomed, even if he struggles for another two or three months, there will be no big waves. The most important thing now is to thoroughly grasp the chain of evidence of Yuan's crime. "

The Yuan family has too many resources, as long as Liu Bian can knock out the Yuan family, it is equivalent to bringing it into the imperial power, and one Yuan family can be worth several aristocratic families.

"What does His Majesty mean?"

Jia Xu was naturally aware of His Majesty's plan, and from a strategic analysis alone, the Yuan family had no power to resist, and killing him was like slaughtering a chicken, without the slightest difficulty.

"Quickly send the letter to Gongda Feige."

Liu Bianlue pondered for a while, and after a brief communication with the Military Division Alliance, he said loudly: "Temporarily stand still and wait for the final general offensive. Don't act rashly."

Jia Xu made a bow, "Here."

call-!
Liu Bian let out a long breath, feeling that a big stone in his heart had finally landed.

Xun Yu stepped forward and bowed: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, if Guanzhong is settled, the world will be settled, and the world will be settled, and the Han Dynasty will be prosperous. Your Majesty's long-cherished wish has been fulfilled in just three years!"

"No!"

Liu Bian quickly calmed down, turned his head to look at Jia Xu and Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, do you really think that my ambition is only for the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, this tiny place?"

"what?"

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, could it be that there are Lingnan, Western Regions and other places?"

Liu Bian said loudly: "Lingnan and the Western Regions are just like this. Do you remember what I said when I was begging for Dong? To rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, to fix the universe, to sweep away the wilderness, to hold the breath of all barbarians, to be as bright as the sun and the moon, and to be the same as the heaven and the earth." Long."

"In my eyes, the land of thousands of miles across the Great Han Dynasty is just the beginning of the revitalization of the Han Dynasty. I want to surpass the Qin Emperor and Hanwu, establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the sage's knowledge, and open the world for all generations. Peaceful."

Before Liu Bian always felt that this was just a distant dream, but now, Nanyang Hanting spans three states, and the Battle of Hedong has completely separated Guanzhong and Jizhou. Now even Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou are Announce surrender.

Sweeping the big men is just a matter of time, so it won't be long before they will embark on the road of conquering the world. In this case, things that they didn't dare to think about before must be thought about now, and they must be thought carefully.

So.
Liu Bian's voice, the further back, the more sonorous and powerful, resounding, not only to inspire others, but also to inspire himself, so that he is full of confidence!

"Your Majesty really is"

When Xun Yu heard the words, he immediately bowed deeply, and solemnly said: "The unrivaled emperor who has shaken the past and the present, what the Emperor Qin, Han and Wu could not do, will surely be accomplished by His Majesty's hands. I firmly believe in this."

Previously, Jia Xu only felt that Nanyang Hanting was different from any previous dynasty, but since he entered this institution, he really felt its horror.

If before, when Jia Xu heard this kind of person who made bold words at will, he would just smile at best and take it as a deaf ear, and let it go in the past, but now, when such words are spoken from Liu Bian's mouth, he has a kind of firm belief Feel.

Immediately, Jia Xu made a bow, and said sonorously: "Expanding the frontiers, surpassing the ancestors, making great achievements that will never be seen in the world, your Majesty's ambition, really makes me admire. Although I am heartbroken, I can repay the kindness of my friends."

Liu Bian glanced at Jia Xu, saw that the other party was full of solemnity and heartfelt, and nodded with satisfaction. This old man finally felt a little bit upright, no longer possessed by a god, with an indifferent look on his face.

"So Wenhe."

Liu Bian smiled lightly at Jia Xu: "You are not yet fifty, and you will have more opportunities to make contributions in the future. You must take the initiative to show up and make suggestions for me. You must not move it like trying to calculate beads."

Uh.
Jia Xu's face was slightly embarrassed, and he cupped his hands and cupped his fists: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely correct myself, and I will never disappoint Your Majesty's kindness of knowledge and understanding, and I will give advice and advice to the court."

"Ah."

Liu Bian nodded: "That makes sense. Go and pass on the letter to Xun You Feige. If it's too late, I'm afraid something will happen. After all, Yuan Kai will never sit still and wait for death."

Jia Xu saluted, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will handle it here."

Say it.

Jia Xu bowed and saluted, and left the hall backwards.

Looking at Jia Xu's leaving back, Liu Bian waved his hand and said, "Wen Ruo, let's continue. How is the grain harvest this year? It should have already produced results, right?"

"Yes."

Xun Yu nodded and nodded: "There are already results. This year's average yield per mu has reached four stones and five buckets, more than doubling the increase. Not only can it meet the food and grass consumption of the Battle of Bingzhou, it can even last half a year if Jingzhou goes to war. "

"Currently, the imperial court has launched activities to publicize private land. The wealthy families in Nanyang, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou are actively responding. Especially in Nanyang County, there is a long queue. They have to register and register every day, and send people to measure and verify the land. .”

"Judging from the current amount of public land in Nanyang, the imperial court has already exceeded half of the total cultivated land. The Deng family ranks second, and the Yin family ranks third."

Liu Bian interrupted with a wave of his hand, turned his head and asked, "Is there any news about the Deng family's private land becoming public?"

Xun Yu shook his head: "Not yet, but I think Deng Xun will take out some of the fields and publicize the private fields. After all, after the end of this year, the harvest of the common people in the public fields has completely exceeded their private fields."

"This is a fatal temptation for ordinary people who cultivate private fields. Everyone works hard all their lives to harvest food. If the private fields do not produce enough grain, the ordinary people may not accept it."

Liu Bian nodded, which was also within his expectation: "What about the situation in Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other places?"

Xun Yu frowned, sighed, and said, "Although Yuzhou and Xuzhou also have the phenomenon of publicizing private land, compared to Nanyang, there is greater resistance, especially the Huan family, the Chen family, and even the Cao family in Qiaojun."

"Oh?"

Liu Bian was surprised: "Cao Cao's family?"

Xun Yu nodded: "That's right, the Cao family in Yuzhou is also a big wealthy family, second only to the Yuan family and other aristocratic families. His father, Cao Song, has a family fortune of over [-] million, and he is a famous and powerful family."

really!

There is bound to be resistance.

This point has already been predicted by experts.

Liu Bian asked tentatively, "Is the focus on chemical fertilizers?"

Xun Yu nodded and nodded: "That's right, that's right."

"How about this."

Liu Bian had already had a countermeasure, and immediately said loudly: "Chemical fertilizers are mainly sold by the imperial court, and they are given priority to public land. If there is any surplus, they will be supplied to private land, so as to ease the conflict."

At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, the aristocratic family was a force that could not be ignored. The court not only needed to prevent it from becoming bigger and affect the imperial power, but also needed to use the power of the aristocratic family to manage the world.

While Liu Bian weakened the power of the giants, he also gave the opponent some leeway for relaxation, so that they would have the idea of ​​living, so as not to cause rebellion.

Fertilizer is a critical step!
That being the case, it will be sold publicly by the court, but there is a difference in priority, so that the family's thoughts will not be completely cut off, so that they can accept it.

Of course.

Liu Bian will definitely strictly control the amount of chemical fertilizers. As long as it is not enough to meet all the requirements, there will always be a little bit of land that will be included in the imperial court and private fields will be publicized.

Why not have the best of both worlds?
Xun Yu couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty really wants to sell it publicly?"

Liu Bian nodded affirmatively: "Of course! You can release the news now, especially in Yuzhou, Xuzhou and other places, so as to appease the rebellious psychology of the aristocratic family."

Xun Yu clasped his hands together and said, "Here."

*****
Xinye, Deng's family.

Octagonal Pavilion.

Deng Xun stared at the withered and yellow flower beds in the garden, and sighed: "How on earth are the fertilizers produced? The grain production of four stones and five buckets has more than doubled."

"Yes."

Deng Tong beside him frowned, also with disbelief on his face: "This kind of production has far exceeded the actual income of our tenants. I am afraid that more tenants will join in the cultivation of public land next year. .”

"uncle."

Deng Tong's throat rolled, and he swallowed forcefully: "Next, what should we do? Should we also join the queue for the publicization of private land? I heard that Nanyang is registering every day. All private land has been publicized.”

"The He family in Nanyang, since taking the lead in the publicization of private land last year, the family has not managed anything this year. It has divided more than [-] stones of grain and grass. According to the calculations of the family members, it is actually similar to finding someone to plant by themselves, and the key cost is reduced. "

"and"

Speaking of this, Deng Tong emphasized: "I heard that this year because chemical fertilizers will be supplied to Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Nanyang, in fact, the amount of chemical fertilizers per mu of land is not very sufficient because of reasons beyond expectations."

Deng Xun frowned: "Zimu, what do you mean?"

Although Deng Tong didn't want to admit it, he had to say: "If the production of chemical fertilizers is increased this year, the grain production may increase next year, perhaps reaching five shi, or even more."

"what?"

Deng Xun couldn't believe it: "Five stones?"

Deng Tong nodded affirmatively: "That's right! And five stones is just the lowest estimate, and it may even reach more than five stones."

"how can that be?"

You must know that just two years ago, the average yield per mu in Nanyang was only five buckets for one stone, but under the miraculous operation of the Emperor of Nanyang, the grain production increased year after year.

From the initial one stone and five buckets, it became two stones and two buckets, and from the current two stones and two buckets to four stones and five buckets, the front and back have tripled!
In other words, under the operation of His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang, Nanyang County is also the same. Nanyang two years later will be as good as the previous three Nanyang counties, which is simply unbelievable.

"But it's really true."

Deng Tong sighed, and said helplessly: "Uncle and nephew suggest that we still need to take out a part of the land and publicize the private land, so that our family can successfully tide over the difficulties."

"Although it has been publicized, at least on the property rights certificate given by the imperial court, it is written that the imperial court shares it with the Deng family in Xinye, Nanyang, and we can share the grain and grass every year without our Deng family's efforts."

"Homeowner."

Deng Tongyi bowed and said softly: "Your worries are indeed justified. In this way, it is equivalent to the emperor holding the lifeblood of our Deng family in his hands."

"But actually think about it. After all, plowing still needs to be plowed. Is it possible that the imperial court will abandon the plowed fields and use them for other purposes? Or, do we have other ideas about plowing the fields besides producing grain?"

In Deng Tong's eyes, the biggest function of plowing is to produce grain. Apart from producing grain, it has no other function. Once it is abandoned, it becomes a liability. Not only does it have no production, but it also needs to pay taxes.

Deng Xun shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "I don't want the private land to be publicized, but what can I do now? Sun Jian led his troops to station in Nanyang, and Du Ji, a bastard, really didn't get in. Compared with Liu Bei, he didn't succeed. Give way."

"Now, in front of the Deng family in Nanyang, there are only two ways. One is to obediently carry out the publicization of private land, and the other is to unite with the Yin family and the Lai family to rebel and cause trouble, and force His Majesty the Emperor."

"But."

Deng Xun also had self-knowledge: "Although our Emperor is young, he is by no means a threat. Maybe if we make any movement, Sun Jian will send troops immediately. Our little movement will not reach His Majesty at all." before the case."

Deng Tong said softly: "Although we are like this, there are no such soldiers and horses in Yuzhou and Xuzhou. The Cao family and the Chen family also have some complaints about the publicization of private land."

"The Chen family is on its own. After all, there are no key figures in the court, but the Cao family is different. The military general Cao Cao is the commander-in-chief of [-] troops. It is impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to disregard this person's face."

"Or uncle."

Deng Tong tentatively asked, "Let's wait for news from the imperial court?"

Deng Xun sighed, frowned, and pondered for a moment: "The imperial court will definitely consider Cao Cao's feelings, but this will not affect His Majesty's determination in the slightest, otherwise we would not have hope and despair many times."

"Report—!"

At this moment, a long-lasting report sounded not far away.

Deng Xun turned his head to look.

But seeing, the servant hurried forward, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "Patriarch, send back information from the direction of Wancheng."

Deng Xun waved his hands and said, "What's the matter, just speak up."

The servant said softly: "There is news that the imperial court will sell chemical fertilizers publicly next year."

"Ok?"

Deng Xun was stunned for a moment: "What did you say? The court will sell fertilizer publicly next year?"

The servant nodded and said with absolute certainty, "That's right, that's exactly the case."

Deng Xun asked anxiously, "Are you sure?"

Servant: "Sure! However, the sale of chemical fertilizers must first satisfy the use of public land, and then the use of private land, and I heard that the imperial court will build chemical fertilizer factories in Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Heluo, and Nanyang to satisfy the common people's farming needs." .”

"Great!"

Before Deng Xun got excited, Deng Tong on the side couldn't hold back anymore: "Patriarch, as long as we have fertilizer, our tenants will be able to keep it, and we don't have to publicize our private land."

but
Deng Xun still had a dignified look on his face, and guessed: "I think this is the imperial court's response to the major families. In this way, the conflict between the imperial power and the noble families can be eased."

"Yes."

Deng Xun nodded affirmatively: "It must be like this."

Deng Tong was a little embarrassed: "This can indeed ease the conflict, but the sale of chemical fertilizers has been made public. Could there be other tricks?"

"Zimu, tell me"

Deng Xun pinched a strand of beard under his chin: "Why does Your Majesty add a sentence to give priority to the use of public land?"

Deng Tong frowned: "Isn't this normal? After all, for the imperial court, public land can receive [-]% of the tax revenue, while private land can only be taxed for five buckets of rice."

"No."

Deng Xun shook his head and said softly: "Things are by no means as simple as imagined. I am sure that even if the production of this fertilizer increases, it may not be fully supplied."

"If the use of the public land is satisfied, but the private land cannot be satisfied, then is there still a part of the private land that is left uncultivated? In this way, wouldn't it be the same as it is now?"

"This"

Deng Tong suddenly realized and nodded: "This nephew really didn't think of it."

Deng Xun sighed: "Our Majesty the emperor is best at hiding the real purpose in decrees that seem to be beneficial to us, and then weakening us little by little. When we react, it is too late. "

"Yes."

Deng Tong deeply agreed: "There is indeed such a possibility. If so, what should we do next?"

Deng Xun twisted his beard and pondered for a long time: "Now the battle of Hedong, the imperial court has won a big victory, and Guanzhong Chang'an is dying. As for Yuan Shao and his like, it is even more insignificant. If you want to destroy Guanzhong, the rest Liu Yao, Liu Dai, Liu Biao, etc. People can't last long."

"At this time, it is unwise for us to be enemies of the imperial court. His Majesty holds the military power in his hands, and with a victorious army, he can sweep the universe unimpeded, let alone these aristocratic families."

"If the north is fixed, although there are many aristocratic families in the south, their scale is relatively small, and it is difficult to make a climate. It is hard to say whether they will become enemies of the imperial power because of the publicization of private land."

"."

Deng Xun's mind was like lightning, and he kept deducing.

In the end, there is still only one result that cannot be acted rashly: "Your Majesty cannot destroy the family, so every family has vitality, but if there is vitality, there will be insufficient resistance, and if there is insufficient resistance, nothing will happen."

"Yes."

"The head of the family is wise."

Deng Tong nodded approvingly, and said softly: "This is the most powerful thing about your majesty. He will never beat the family to death. Even if the private land is publicized, he can still get a share of the profit, and he has completely unified the front with the royal family."

"Nowadays, in the Wancheng Conghui, someone has already traded the land title certificate. As long as the land title certificate is reached, they can go to the imperial court to register and complete the transfer."

"According to what my nephew has learned, due to the large increase in the output of the cultivated land this time, the price of the land property certificate has soared, and the price of one mu of land has increased to three or four times the original value. Everyone is optimistic that the imperial court will operate the cultivated land. The ability, it is said that it will definitely increase in the future.”

"The current price is only three or four times the price, and the price will be even higher in the future, and according to the policy issued by the imperial court, if the farmland needs to be used later, it will directly give [-] times the average output within five years and buy out the property rights. "

"It's such a bargain."

Even Deng Tong himself couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Patriarch, I heard that there are many wealthy families who have made a lot of money by buying low and selling land title certificates at high prices."

"Now, many aristocratic families are playing like this, especially this year, when a large part of the wealthy families publicized their land, they began to drive up the price of the property right certificate. In just over ten days, it increased by [-]%."

"The enthusiasm of the big aristocratic families for land title certificates has also promoted the process of publicizing private land. Since they can make profits, I don't think the big aristocratic families will necessarily rebel against the court because of this. It is just a way to make profits, which has quietly occurred. changed."

As a middleman of buying and selling in the Han Dynasty, the Huihui already had the embryonic form of an early stock exchange, and the transaction of land title certificates was one of the most representative models.

Those aristocratic families with foresight have not only made money through food and grass, but also doubled their value because of the soaring price of land title certificates.

Now that the status has been improved, and they don't have to worry about exchanging money, these aristocratic families are naturally willing to publicize their private land. The most important thing is that this profit model is too violent, and they can accumulate wealth in a short period of time.

Such a model is much quicker than simply selling grain to make money. For the aristocratic and wealthy families, the imperial court's annual profit in grain production is at best a kind of dividend, which does not account for a large proportion at all.

"Ah."

Of course Deng Xun had heard of this.

After all, the butler of the Deng family is a master at this: "Deng Yun has already made a lot of money for the family by buying and selling land title certificates this year. If not, how could the Deng families everywhere feel at ease."

"Homeowner."

Deng Tong bowed: "Then what should we do?"

Deng Xun said softly: "Steady, take out a part of the land first, make the private land public, and then decide how to operate it according to the situation."

Deng Tong bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Here!"

Deng Xun added: "By the way, these property rights certificates are handed over to Deng Yun for operation. After making profits, they will be supplemented to the families in various places. The right is a kind of compensation for them."

Deng Tong nodded: "Patriarch, don't worry, I will leave it to my nephew."

"it is good."

Deng Tong responded, "Let's leave it at that for the time being."

Deng Tongyi: "Nephew, leave!"
