Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 199 Newly minted five baht
The spring plowing has already ended, and the new pass has been completed. It is still named Tongguan. Since then, it has been divided into East Tongguan and West Tongguan.

After the Western Expedition, the Eastern Wei Dynasty temporarily suspended its troops, one of which was that it was difficult to support finances.

The second is that after a big defeat, it takes time for the soldiers to regain their confidence and fade the shadow of failure.

The reason why the Western Wei Dynasty did not take the opportunity to seize the idea of ​​​​taking Yubi (Huayin) naturally had its own problems.

The root cause is still financial problems, and the loss of more than [-]% to [-]% of the population cannot be made up for the time being.

Because of Gao Cheng's payment of military salaries, the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty were generally dissatisfied with their treatment.

Promised for so many years, it is time to fulfill the promise.

With great difficulty, Yu Wentai seized the food and clothing of 60 people in Shayuan. With a little financial affluence, he had no choice but to start distributing military salaries to the soldiers.

After all, Gao Cheng is not generous, he is very stingy, and he splits everything in half.

Regardless of the main force or the state and county soldiers, they are only half of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. The [-] Xianbei infantry are only two and a half stones a year, and the state and county soldiers are only one and a half stones.

But the soldiers can also understand: as long as you have this attitude, you can add it to the big guys when the days get better in the future.

But in the end, it drained Yu Wentai's already tight finances.

Sitting and waiting is not his style, Yu Wentai copied Gao Cheng again and started his search operation.

He Bayue once imitated Gao Cheng in Kansai to destroy Buddha, and he also didn't have a bad appearance. After all, there was no disaster in Kansai at that time. Although he was poor, he could live on.

Today is the same as in the past, Gao Longzhi, who can starve mice to death in the treasury, can't care about his face: I'll shave you!
Taoism has a golden body, so there is no youth to accumulate it. How can I say that the ancestors were also rich. During the period of Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao, he was full of power and prestige, and he would always leave some wealth.

It is too high that Gao Longzhi only pursues borrowing doctrine, and I have no reform ideas of my own.

The first thing that came to mind was Gao Cheng, the confidant who formulated the accounting and household registration laws, so I recruited him. Before a long talk, Che Rongli gave Gao Chengdu Zhishang Shu, led the works, and was also Secretary of Agriculture, and I drafted the reform decree.

For a long time, Gao Cheng presented to Gao Longzhi the "Eight Articles of Edict" he had drafted for the reform of the system, namely: first cure the heart, educate the people, make the most of the land, promote the virtuous, be sympathetic to prison lawsuits, and distribute taxes and labor.

After Gao Long read it, it was like a treasure, and he took the "Eight Articles Edict" as the program and guidelines for officials at all levels in the Western Wei Dynasty to govern. With the money collected from Buddhism and Taoism, various reforms were carried out according to the contents of the "Eight Articles Edict". Land reclamation and other matters.

When the news spread to Kanto, Gao Cheng paid the most attention to the first item in the "Eight Edicts": equal taxation and labor.

The so-called uniform taxation refers to the equalization of taxation and labor, and the adjustment of the rich and the poor, which can give up the strong and the weak and levy the poor and the strong.

That resonated with Di Huan, and I wanted to go to Su Chuo right now, pointing to Di Huan's nose and saying:

"It is the father's fault that such a talent can be used by you." '

If He Bahun doesn't have the ability to conquer Kansai, am I, Gao Cheng, a servant of the Low family?

It is too big and too low, and the king has no way of his own.

Very slow, very slow!Gao Cheng launched the Eastern Wei version of the "Eight Articles of Edict" or "Policy Outline".

Coincidentally, there are also eight, that is, first align the body, promote morality, encourage farming, promote culture and education, appropriate punishment, and equal taxation and labor.

Let officials pay attention to their own qualities, correct their understanding, and lead by example.

Propagating morality is to make officials pay attention to moral propaganda and improve social atmosphere.

It is easy to understand persuading farming and promoting culture and education.

Appropriate punishment refers to allowing officials to use appropriate punishments when making judgments, and it is possible to impose punishments indiscriminately.

Among them, first aligning oneself, preaching morality, emphasizing farming, and appropriate punishment are only literal changes, and their essence is to copy Gao Cheng's "Eight Articles Edict".

As for Xingwenjiao, it splits Dunjiaohua. Gaocheng needs local officials to promote talents for himself. The establishment of the imperial examination system is not to transfer the power of selecting officials from the localities to the central government.

The first article of equal taxation and labor has not been changed even a single word. Taxes and corvettes should be treated equally regardless of whether they are rich or common people.

I can only hope that he copied you when he was Gaolong, so maybe you should follow suit.

Low Cheng also thought about what Guan Yuan's Gao Longzhi would think in Chang'an, and immediately followed suit, using the "Government Outline" as the program and guidelines for the governance of officials at all levels in the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

When the Eastern and Western Weis were scrambling to reform in order to weaken their own national power, Jiangnan was still enjoying peace through singing and dancing.

Born in sorrow, died in peace, the situation in Nanliang spread to Luoyang, Gao Cheng completely treated Xiao Yan as a dead bone in a tomb.

The reason why Gao Cheng's "Eight Articles Edict" was valued by Di Cheng and Gao Long was that it clearly told officials at all levels, especially local officials, what they should do during their term of office.

Only when you don't know what to do, you start to do it.

Don't underestimate that point, there are no people in the world who have been officials all their lives and are still muddle-headed.

Gao Longzhi issued the "Eight Articles of Edict", and Gao Cheng immediately followed up with the "Policy Outline". Xiaojia knew the importance of that decree, but he pretended to be blind and did everything.

Gao Cheng couldn't understand how much he attached importance to Nanliang.

It's all right for the monarch to lose his will to retreat. The key is that the person can still live, and the low joy can be killed by me. If there is no trouble from Hou Jing, Yang Shouzhi will definitely run a hundred.

The promulgation of the "Policy Outline" does not have an immediate effect, and Gao Cheng only stipulates that if he can memorize the "Policy Outline" and understand its core, he can be an official.

Then, he once again joined the wave of economic reform.

On July 537th of the eighth year of Taichang ([-]), Dicheng inspected the mint established by Dilongzhi in the city.

Di Longzhi presented a basket of newly minted coins to Di Cheng, who randomly picked out a hundred coins and weighed them, which weighed seventy-two or seventy baht per catty.

Gao Cheng was a little satisfied with this, and praised the new coins as being as serious as the text, and he also praised Gao Longzhi.

Gao Longzhi took the opportunity to retreat and said:
"The little general did not make any small contribution to the country. The Shangguan thought that this coin was called the little general's seven baht coin."

When Gao Cheng heard the words, he was quite puzzled:

"Well, that's right, Cheng also thought about using Taichang as the name because it was established during the Taichang period."

Gao Longzhi was Rong Gaocheng, who persuaded him:
"The Son of Heaven has nothing to contribute to the country! If there is a little general who sleeps up all night and works hard to govern, there is no reason for me to sit in the country!"

Low Cheng was furious:
"How could Cheng be guilty of being a lowly servant, and tell you that this is a word of loyalty!"

"Little General, even if you are convicted of what the Shangguan said from the bottom of his heart, he will be ashamed of himself."

Di Cheng let out a long sigh, and You Nai said:
"Forget it, since this coin was minted by you, let's do it according to the wishes of the servant."

After inspecting the mint, Gao Cheng told Gao Longzhi to open a hundred furnaces to make a small amount of money, and even the gold lacquer that was found was shipped there to be melted by Gao Longzhi, and then he left.

I'm afraid that Xiao Qi in the future will be able to set up the post of little general, just like the Tang Dynasty, there is no such thing as a strategist general.

Thinking about that, on the way back to Zhongshu Province, Gao Cheng suddenly had an idea: Gao Longzhi would probably engrave his own appearance under the mold.

Then the little general is seven baht, commonly known as the low head?

With Lao Di's indifference to himself, it is really possible to do it.

Thinking of this, Gao Cheng felt a chill, and hurriedly ordered someone to go back to the mint to explain that Gao Longzhi was going to do such a stupid thing.

He also deliberately underlined, that is pretending to refuse.

In fact, Gao Cheng is too careless. Did Gao Longzhi really mean to engrave Gao Cheng's appearance under the mold, but just added the character "Little General".

The first batch of small general seven baht coins came out very slowly, before Gao Cheng had time to present the treasure to the emperor, the convoy from Su Chuo came to Luoyang on July [-]th.

It was just the seventh day that the brothers Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu finished the full moon wine.

The two eldest sons of the eighth generation and only seven of the low family held the full moon wine, which was naturally a quiet event. All the courtiers in Luoyang, regardless of whether they were noble or not, all came to congratulate.

The 17-year-old emperor specially distributed a reward, and his aunt Yuan Zhonghua also presented two pieces of beautiful jade to Gao Xiaozhang and Gao Xiaoyu.

I still have a retreat, and Gao Cheng hasn't lost two concubine sons yet, but Guo Yuan Zhonghua is too satisfied with this. As you get older, you are more and more like the history books. Close to the direction of respect.

More importantly, at this time, let alone having children, you will have to wait another eight years before you can retreat to the Bohai Palace.

On the seventh day of the full moon wine, just as Di Cheng expected, Di Huan really wanted to take both grandchildren to Su Chuo.

Also, the two-month-old fourth son, Gao Zhan, was brought by the wet nurse.

Gao Cheng took the fourth child over from the nurse's arms. At this time, Gao Zhan is still too good at seeing beauty and ugliness, so let's raise him first.

After only a few glances, Gao Cheng returned the fourth brother to the nurse, and specially allocated a yard for us to live in. There should be a lack of maids and servants.

Because of his appearance, there will be a butterfly effect, and he is still the perverted fourth child in history, and Gao Cheng is not sure.

I also do the goddamn thing about handling babies.

The perverted fourth child is sure, but the perverted seventh child is sure. Gao Cheng also finds out that the 17-year-old Gao Yang has not stopped drinking.

I was extremely furious about this, and punished the servant who bought the drinks in Diyang, and expelled him from the Bohai Palace.

And set a rule, if Xu Diyang touches wine, whoever dares to prepare another drink for me will be severely punished and killed.

Gao Cheng also knew that he had overreacted, and before he established the rule, he sent a lot of cloth to appease him outside the Diyang courtyard.

But it's really a low-level worry, the poor quality of low-quality wine is second to none in history.

Especially before taking power, he would go crazy when he was drunk, and he would only kill when he was crazy, and he could do all kinds of stupid things.

Sending the two sons to Su Chuo, Di Cheng actually did not give up much, the two sons, A Mi and Guo Er, were enough to comfort my father.

On July [-]th, Gao Cheng wrote a letter lamenting the dangers of bad coins disrupting the market, and Yuan Shan saw another court meeting.

Gao Longzhi took the opportunity to present new coins to the emperor.

Yuan Shanjian, who was about to watch it, suddenly asked Gao Longzhi:
"Xiaoqing, what is the name of this coin?"

Gao Longzhi spoke the most respectful words in the most respectful tone:
"The little general's contribution to help the sky is nothing small. The minister made his own decision and named this coin as the little general's seven baht coin."

In the court hall, everyone was surprised, and they looked at Low Cheng one after another:
Are you too lazy to pretend?
