I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 213: Take people immediately. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!

Sima Yi said: "The Western Front can only seek stability at the moment and supplement its troops from two aspects, one is Chang'an and the other is Hexi. The two sides are at odds! As for logistics..."

Cao Rui sighed and said, "I want to take a good look at what Chen Sikong left behind."

Li Heng's Taifu Temple seemed to be in charge of business by the imperial court.

But in fact, Li Heng has integrated business and military.

The "Dahan Trading Company Management Regulations" were used to uniformly manage merchants. Since last year, a large amount of materials have been exported from Chengdu and Hanzhong to Guanzhong.

In the past, these were accomplished by the army's baggage troops, and civilian men were recruited.

The imperial court needs officials to manage these people, and officials have power in their hands.

In ancient times, people with power could control resources.

Officials in ancient times would naturally find ways to deduct money.

But if you borrow the power of a businessman, the businessman will be responsible for his own profits and losses.

Just design a set of rules that allow merchants to make money.

Here, merchants transport grain to the frontier to exchange for salt, and then the merchants come back and sell the salt to make money. In fact, the final cost is borne by the public who sell the salt.

Of course, the Jihan court also sold salt before, and the money earned from selling salt was used to collect food to feed the army.

What is optimized is actually management costs and those involving corruption and deductions.

Once management costs are optimized, efficiency is greatly improved.

The efficiency is greatly improved, which is even more powerful for the front line.

That's why Chen Qun called Li Heng a genius after reading it!

"What about Sun Quan?" Cao Rui asked again.

"Buying a large amount of Sun Quan's paper, I think I can stabilize Sun Quan for at least five years!"

"Yeah." Cao Rui nodded and suddenly muttered, "How come I heard that the price of paper in Luoyang has dropped recently?"

“Paper is a commodity, and it’s understandable that as more is input, the price goes down.”

Cao Rui didn't take it seriously.

February of the fifteenth year of Jianxing.

Spring plowing has begun in Yizhou. Since the popularization of the Quyuan plow, the annual output per mu of land in Yizhou has increased from just over one stone to 1.5 stone.

This is supported by data from the previous year and last year.

Each mu of land has increased by 0.3 shi. There are more than million acres of fields in Yizhou, and the total output has increased by nearly million shi.

What is the concept of ten million stones?

Ten thousand stones can feed three thousand people for a year, and ten million stones can feed three million people for a year.

The total population of Jihan is just over four million.

Just the increase in food can feed more than half of the country's people for a year.

Of course, this is a mathematical calculation model and is purely theoretical.

If the world operates in a purely theoretical model, you can govern the country just by sitting at home and dreaming.

Wang Mang would not be beheaded, and his head would be treasured.

The world is complex and random because human society is empowered and dominated by the strong.

It cannot be averaged!

It can only be said that the cake has become a little bigger, and a few more grains have leaked to the beggar.

But in Yizhou, which has been under construction for fifteen years, the new policy that is quietly coming onto the stage is actually a real reconstruction and distribution rule.

On the third day of February, Qixian County, Guanghan County.

Several young officials hurried to the door of the mansion in front.

One of the leading officials said to the servant at the door: "We are sent by the county to find Mr. Lu."

"Why are you here again!" A fat servant said impatiently, "Mr. Lu is not here, I have told you several times!"

"We were sent by the county. According to the rules of the court, Mr. Lu had merged fields before and needs to recover the previous taxes."

"Gong Lu is not here!"

"We are sent by the county!" the young man insisted.

"Ziyang, let's go." A young man from behind signaled, "Mr. Lu is not here, come back another day."

But the young man named Ziyang said: "I heard someone said that Mr. Lu is back, so I came here. Please take me to see Mr. Lu!"

"Are you here to cause trouble?" the fat servant said angrily, "I'll break your legs if you believe it or not!"

Ziyang insisted: "We are officials of the government! We are here under orders!"

"Okay, you're waiting!" The fat servant immediately went in to announce.

"Zi Yang, Mr. Lu is a celebrity in this area. I'm afraid we can't afford to offend him." The person behind said again in a soft tone, "The county magistrate only said to collect as much as possible, but did not say that he must receive it this time and come back another day. It’s not too late.”

"This is an order from the imperial court. As an official of the imperial court, how can we shrink back when encountering the slightest difficulty!"

Not long after, a young man wearing silk came out with a group of servants.

"Are you officials sent by the county?"

"Who is your Excellency?"

"Lu Shuo!"

When several people heard this name, they immediately stepped back unconsciously.

Because Lu Shuo was a well-known playboy in this area, it was said that the county magistrate was his relative, and his sister married the county magistrate Chang Bo.

"It turns out to be Mr. Lu, we are here to visit Mr. Lu!"

"My father is not here. If you have any questions, tell me!"

"The taxes owed by Lu Gong before he merged the fields..."

"Shut up!" Lu Shuo's expression suddenly changed and he yelled, "Who dared to slander your dog!"

But Ziyang said: "These are all found after the last verification. Some documents in the government have clear records, so I asked Mr. Lu to go to the county government office!"

"County Yamen?" Lu Shuo laughed, "I'm telling you, you framed my father and ruined my family's reputation. I can go to the county magistrate to sue you! You leave here immediately, and then tell us all the people in the county Apologize! There is still room for easing this matter!"

The colleagues behind Zi Yang immediately pulled Zi Yang away. "Lu Langjun, do you know who made the national policy of tax recovery?" Ziyang refused to leave and asked sharply.

"I don't care who he is!"

"It's the general!"

"Hahaha, General! So what about the General! Ask him to come here and talk to me face to face! Ask him if he dares to come!"

Ziyang never expected that this man was not even afraid of the general.

"Will Mr. Lu not come out today?"

"I've given you a chance, but you don't cherish it!" Lu Shuo shouted angrily, "Here, hit me! Break his legs!"

The few people behind Ziyang immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

The group of servants rushed over, surrounded Ziyang and started beating him.

Ziyang was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his kneecaps were broken.

Zi Yang, however, insisted on not saying a word, staring straight at Lu Shuo and saying, "This is the national policy of the imperial court!"

But Lu Shuo came over, stepped on Ziyang's head, and crushed it hard: "National policy? Can national policy go out of Chengdu?"

"General..."

"General?" Lu Shuo burst into laughter, "The general can just stay in the general's mansion. He should stay away from local affairs!"

After crushing him, he suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed Ziyang in the back.

Ziyang's whole body trembled and he tried to struggle, but was firmly stepped on by Lu Shuo.

Lu Shuo pulled out his sword, stabbed him again, and sneered: "This kind of national policy is against the moral principles of the world. All virtuous people in the world should rise up and resist! Officials like you are just helping the tyrants to commit evil, and it is not a pity to die!"

Ziyang struggled for a few times and then lost strength.

Lu Shuo glanced at those people, took a sip, and said, "How did he die?"

"He was walking carelessly and fell to death."

"Ok?"

Another person quickly said: "He embezzled taxes and was reported. He was depressed and committed suicide."

"Okay, drag it down and feed the dog!"

After dealing with this, Lu Shuo walked in.

"Father, everything has been taken care of."

Lu Yun just waved his hand and continued to drink while admiring the dancing of the beauties.

It's the tenth day of February, Chengdu, it's cloudy.

Lu Zhi walked all the way to the entrance of the General's Mansion.

At this time, a man rushed out of a restaurant on the street. The man shouted: "Help! Help me..."

Three sturdy men rushed out from behind, holding knives and charging toward him.

One of the big men struck him in the back with a knife. The man staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, then rolled towards him.

"Help……"

When people on the street saw it, they all fled in fear.

Lu Zhi's expression changed drastically: "Bold! Dare to commit murder in broad daylight!"

As soon as he said this, several of the attendants immediately drew their swords and rushed forward to block the killer behind the man.

"Help...my officials in Qi County, someone is going to hunt me down!"

When Lu Zhi heard this, he immediately scolded: "Keep him alive!"

The few followers quickly killed one of the killers, and the other two quickly wiped their own necks with knives when they saw that they were no longer invincible.

Lu Zhi was startled, and then said to two of the subordinates: "Take him to the General's Mansion! Take these corpses there too!"

At this time, Li Heng was listening to Zhao Xiang's report.

"I went to Pixian County two days before I went to the official position. There were 5,000 acres of farmland in Pixian County that I couldn't match, but no one went to check it, let alone collect the taxes."

"How many students are there in the Capital University now?"

"There are already five thousand people."

"Transfer two people to serve as officials in various counties, specifically to collect taxes on this matter!"

"Can these people do it?" Zhao Xiang was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully.

"You have to do it even if you don't! What I want is not whether they can do it, but whether they dare!" Li Heng said, "I know this matter is offensive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhi walked in quickly with an ugly face: "General! General!"

"Why is Shiying so anxious?"

"problem occurs!"

Lu Zhi immediately asked someone to bring the man over.

The man was bleeding a lot and had been bandaged.

"The general is here. It doesn't matter if you say anything."

When the man heard this, he burst into tears: "General! You have to make the decision for us! My name is Wang Xu, and I am an official in Qi County. I was ordered to chase the local wealthy Lu Yun for taxes. Unexpectedly, Lu Yun not only refused to pay the taxes, but also Instead, he sent his own son to kill our colleagues Zhang Chen and Zhang Ziyang! He even fed his body to the dogs!"

At this point, Wang Xu cried even more miserably.

"Then why did you flee to Chengdu?" Lu Zhi asked.

"Zhang Ziyang is my friend. In order to save my life, I knelt down and begged for mercy. I escaped from the county overnight, but was discovered. Someone was chasing me on the road."

Li Heng's face suddenly darkened. He had already expected that there would be resistance in the local area, so he was mentally prepared.

It can even cause death.

Now we are undergoing land reform!

This involves the fundamental interests of interest groups in this era.

But when he heard this, he was still furious and said with a sullen face: "Let Ma Yong lead people to Li County to arrest people! In order to solve the problem quickly, please ask Guan Tong for help! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
