Chapter 619 Liu Bei no longer needs to gamble his life
For Liu Bei's idea, Jia Xu first expressed support, and proposed that a series of policies that had been used in Liangzhou could be applied in Bingzhou, because the situation in Liangzhou and Bingzhou were highly similar.

Liu Bei implemented various welfare policies in Liangzhou and successfully changed Liangzhou, allowing many people who had left their household registration to return to their household registration on their own initiative, and the situation in Bingzhou is the same.

The life of those people in the mountains may not be much better than before. If the imperial court can implement the policies and benefits, then the possibility of people in the mountains of Bingzhou going out of the mountains and returning to their household registration is very high.

Allocate land and housing, set up collective farms, exempt taxes for three or five years, provide low-interest or interest-free loans, sell farm tools and livestock at low prices, and provide a certain number of cattle, etc.

The most important thing is that the government can also use the big policy weapon of paying the tax on behalf of the government.

Jia Xu suggested that they should do the same as they did in Liangzhou before, let a group of people live a good life first, prove that their policies are genuine and not adulterated, and then launch a large-scale public opinion offensive against the people in the mountains, Urge them to leave the mountains and return to the government household registration.

Finally, he announced that as long as he settled in Bingzhou, he would not need to pay the tax, which would attract more people if he wanted to.

By slowly attracting all the population in Bingzhou's mountainous area to Bingzhou, the history of rebellion in Bingzhou's mountainous area can be completely ended.

Jia Xu has experienced Liu Bei's reform actions in Liangzhou throughout the whole process. He is very supportive of Liu Bei's reform actions and understands them thoroughly.

In this regard, the entire think tank did not have much objection.

Bingzhou was almost destroyed, and a lot of land had been out of the actual control of the imperial court. If Liu Bei wanted to do something in Bingzhou, as long as he could regain it, he would naturally have the final say.

However, it was the word of mouth that attracted everyone's attention.

At the beginning of the year, Mao Jie "observed Shangyi" and realized Liu Bei's intentions, so he proposed to Liu Bei at the government affairs meeting inside the General's Mansion to officially abolish the extremely immoral tax, oral tax.

Mao Jie believes that this type of tax is a kind of "extinct household tax", which is very immoral. The money obtained is the money of future generations, and it is irresponsible to use the money of future generations to enjoy today's enjoyment.

So it should be completely abolished.

At that time, Liu Bei asked many people and learned that their attitudes were generally in favor of dethroning, but Liu Bei himself did not nod in approval.

"Abolish this tax, as long as I think, I can do it at any time. The four ministers will not be an obstacle. I also have the confidence to persuade the Empress Dowager. Therefore, I don't need to spend much effort to promulgate the policy at the Luoyang court level. will be able to achieve.

But everyone, is the key issue really in the policy promulgation?No, it is implementation. We promulgate, implement at the local level, and implement it to every ordinary person. This is the complete process of the policy. It is just that we promulgate, and no one at the local level implements it.

Based on my experience in governing the local area in Liangzhou, I can be sure that if our side announces the abolition of koufu, there will be countless corrupt officials in the local area who will continue to collect koufu in a grandiose manner, and then take the koufu as their own. In the past, they A part of it still needs to be given to the imperial court. Now, it is all theirs. "

At that time, Liu Bei's words aroused the indignation of many officials in the general's mansion, and some officials who had experience in local politics were silent about it.

Because as far as they know, what Liu Bei said is true. There are a lot of daring and corrupt officials in the world. Relying on the height of the sky and the distance of the emperor, they openly turn the court taxes into their own property.

This kind of thing, unless the imperial court transfers all the power of tax collection to Luoyang and prevents local officials from interfering, it is impossible to avoid it.

And once such a situation arises, how many changes will the Luoyang court make to this end?
The territory of the Han Dynasty is too large. If all the tax collection is done by the Luoyang court, the court will not have to do other things for a whole year.

Therefore, when he did not have the confidence to successfully promote this policy, Liu Bei did not make this policy a joke. The area is no longer accepted.

Just like the situation in Liangzhou, at the beginning of the year, Liu Bei had already used his power to influence the taxation department of the imperial court, and won [preferential policies] for Liangzhou, exempting the mouth tax for three years.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this exemption is endless, three years and three years, three years and three years, until this policy is completely ended, this "three years" has no time limit.

The same is true for Bingzhou. In order to promote population growth and restore the imperial court's rule over Bingzhou, under Liu Bei's efforts, the imperial court's policy of exempting Bingzhou from the five-year oral tax has been in its hands.

As long as everything is ready, the policy can be announced.

Liu Bei has already got all his cards in his hand, he can play them at any time, and always leaves room for him. He is not only a player, but also the maker of the rules of the game. He has enough leeway to play horses in the current game rules. car.

He can use the power in his hands to formulate various tax reduction and tax exemption policies, and promote them in areas where he has strong control, in essence creating a policy effect of exempting excess taxes.

This is the victory of the general's line,

But for Zhang Yan and Yu Fuluo, this choice was not easy at all, their cards were far less than Liu Bei's.

The most obvious point is that Liu Bei no longer needs to put his future and destiny cards on the poker table, and just a few years ago, he often took out this key card for stud.

But now times have changed, and now it is a situation where other people gamble their lives with Liu Bei and Liu Bei handles it easily.

Yu Fuluo and Zhang Yan don't have many cards, and the most valuable thing is their future and destiny. It takes a lot of courage to play Stud, and not everyone has this kind of courage, and not everyone has the luck to survive. people have.

Liu Bei has also imagined countless times that if parallel universes really exist, he would probably die every time he was beaten to the point of bleeding when he was a teenager.

What would the timeline of his own death look like?

In other words, when Lu Zhi was rescued, he was hit by three arrows, and there was a high possibility that he would die. If he really died, what would happen?

What would a dead Liu Xuande be like at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty without Liu Xuande?
no one knows.

But a former life-fighter no longer has to fight for his life. This feeling is amazing.

As for Zhang Yan and Yu Fuluo, they have been fighting for their lives, but they don't know whether to play Liu Bei's card this time.

If you obey the order, you will have to lead the troops to attack, and you will face the possibility of being weakened and seriously injured by Liu Bei's secret operation. If you don't obey the order, it is estimated that the tens of thousands of Han troops will be the first to attack them.

So what to do?

Zhang Yan and Yu Fuluo established a mutual communication mechanism after the Hedong crisis. If there is anything to do, they can communicate with each other and help if they can. They also understand the reason why their lips are cold and their teeth are cold, and this time is no exception.

After the two received the order from the Luoyang court, they communicated with each other as soon as possible to see if the other party had also received the relevant order. After confirming, the two quickly met to discuss the matter.

After discussing and discussing, the two of them gradually came to an agreement, that is, they agreed not to give the Luoyang court a chance to make trouble.

The reasons are also clear.

Liu Bei's terror deterrence to the world has been successfully established. He is too good at fighting, and it is purely boring to be hostile to him. If you want to eat for a few more years, it is best to cooperate with Liu Bei and follow his wishes.

In this way, judging from Liu Bei's character of keeping promises and keeping promises, he will basically not do things that are likely to attract criticism, and it is unlikely that he will take this opportunity to take any action against them.

However, after the high-level interaction between the two reached an agreement, they had to further discuss with the people below.

It is true that both of them are bosses, but as the saying goes, the boss is often an empty air, and there are not many people who can really listen to the boss's orders. Xiao Jiujiu, don't think of anyone too simply.

In addition to the Black Mountain Army directly under Zhang Yan and his trusted subordinates Sun Qing and Wang Dang, Zhang Yan also had Yu Du, Bai Rao, Sui Gu, Li Damu, Lei Gong and so on.

Their tribes are big or small, strong or weak, and they respect him as the leader, but they don't completely obey him.

In short, Zhang Yan is the leader, not the monarch.

Yu Fuluo is similar, he himself was supported by a group of rebels, and his father was the old Shanyu who was killed by the group of rebels. It is conceivable that he is in this group of people. How much prestige, and how much control.

So the two have reached the highest intention here, and they have to discuss with the people below, who will be dispatched, how many troops, money and food will be contributed by each of them, all these must be discussed.

"There is an order from the imperial court. I, as a general, and you, as captains, should serve the imperial court. I have decided to send [-] troops to attack Wuhuan. I will personally lead them to follow the imperial army to attack Wuhuan, hoping to make meritorious deeds."

Zhang Yan first expressed his attitude. He took the lead in the charge, dispatched [-] troops, and followed the imperial army.

However, there are not many people who have doubts about his decision.

For example, Su Lai and Zhang Yan are not single-minded in poisoning.

He didn't think it was the right thing to follow Liu Bei's order to go out to fight. He didn't trust Liu Bei and the court at all.

"The court's war is the court's business. We have always listened to the instructions and not the announcement. The Luoyang court should also understand this. Why did they give us orders in a grand manner? And we really have to obey them? General Zhang Zhonglang, what do you think? Is there any fraud in this?"

PS: Why don't you believe that I have to take the college entrance examination?Obviously I'm real... Well, I don't believe it myself.

PPS: But I have to say, fortunately I graduated early, among other things, I have become more and more unable to understand the composition of the past few years. Yesterday I wanted to try to write a composition for the college entrance examination. It's just a mess... When I was in the college entrance examination, the composition question was famous for not placing the ladder horizontally. At that time, I was already very confused. I didn't expect the composition questions in recent years to become more and more abstract.
