The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 195 The New Kingdom of Jin ([-])

In fact, due to the convenience of geographical transportation, the envoys sent by Jin to Soochow arrived at the border of Soochow much earlier than the one sent to Shuhan.

It was August in 265 A.D., and it had been a full year since Sun Hao ascended the throne of Soochow.

In April of this year, it was said that Jiangling (Sun Quan's tomb) rained nectar, so in May of this year, the Yuanxingnian name, which had only been used for eight months in Soochow, was discontinued.Switch to the new year name Ganlu.So AD 265 is the first year of Ganlu in Soochow.

At the beginning of this year, Sun Hao just took advantage of the remaining prestige of exterminating the Puyang Xing and Zhang Bu clans to cleanse the Eastern Wu court. After replacing the main posts with his own people, he started a vigorous nationwide household tax check. action.

But in a country like Soochow, it is really necessary to check the household tax equally across the country, hehehe...

Before Sun Ce crossed the river, the Jiangdong family was already very powerful.Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang, these famous families, who the hell doesn't have tens of thousands or even more than [-] serfs?It's not too easy to randomly recruit strong men and form a private army of several thousand or even tens of thousands.Do you want to check the household tax?Believe it or not, I asked you to investigate the destruction of the team?
"Hey, Shi Ji. What's the matter? Let's not talk about Xishu in Yizhou. Prime Minister Zhuge has a good foundation, and the top family there is a dwarf to us. Then Guan Zifeng took the knife. It's very easy. But you also said that even in Jin State in the north, the scale of its top aristocratic family is far inferior to that of my great Wu. How could this be?"

"Uh, Your Majesty. Before I came to Your Majesty's side, Guan Zifeng once told me why the size of my great Wu family is so large."

"Oh? Then what did Guan Zifeng say?"

"Your Majesty, Guan Zifeng said. First, the development of Jiangdong was relatively late. Generally speaking, the land is sparsely populated and the cultivation level is low. If a single-household farmer wants to survive independently, it will face more difficulties than farmers on the northern Great Plains." Much more."

"Well, that's the reason. But the ones in Yizhou are not much better than my Dawu. No, they have fewer people, and their cultivation level is lower."

"Your Majesty is right. This is the second reason. Yizhou has Dujiangyan, and the entire Chengdu Plain follows people's floods and droughts, and there are basically no large-scale famines. Therefore, although there are few people in Yizhou, it is difficult for ordinary farmers to survive independently. Very low. My Dawu is different. We have a dense water network here, with lakes and swamps everywhere. There is no strong organization to unify many farmers, and it is impossible to deal with frequent floods, and it is impossible to drain the swamps for farming. In addition, The third reason is that Jiangdong is too far away from the Central Plains, no matter whether it is the former Han Dynasty or the later Han Dynasty, it is beyond the reach of this place. Therefore, the Jiangdong family has become a general trend."

"Hey, Guan Zifeng is far away in Yizhou, so he can see clearly my big Wu's heels?"

"Although I really want to be greedy for merit, I said that those opinions just now are all my own. It's a pity..."

"Hehehe, Shi Ji is really an honest person. Then, did Guan Zifeng say how to solve this situation?"

"I dare not speak."

"Shi Ji, you and my ministers are mutually beneficial, but it's okay to speak bluntly."

"Okay." Zhong Hui sighed softly: "Your Majesty is being presumptuous, please talk to Your Majesty."

"Hahahaha~ Shi Ji, when you first came to Wucheng, I slept with you. Well, let me come to your side. Tell me."

"What Guan Zifeng means is that the geographical environment of my Great Wu determines that this place is simply a paradise for aristocratic families. Therefore, it is impossible to eliminate the aristocratic family. The only thing that can be done is..." Lowering his voice further, Zhong Hui gritted his teeth He said: "With the Nangong Party of the past as the core, we will clean up the Lu Wang Party in the name of checking household taxes. If this is not enough, we will stir up the conflict between Wu Jun and Kuaiji County, and use Wu Jun's family as the basis to clean up Kuaiji County. In this way, in this process, although the Nangong Party and the Wujun family will become stronger, the power of the country will only grow faster!"

"Hiss~~~ This Guan Zifeng is trying to stir up internal turmoil in my Great Wu!"

"Yes, that's what Guan Zifeng said at the time. And he also said..."

"What else?"

"This is a conspiracy. Although His Majesty knows that he has bad intentions, His Majesty will do it sooner or later."

Yes, Sun Hao children's shoes.That's what you do on the historical plane.After you ascended the throne, use the descendants of the princelings who were involved in the Southern Lu party struggle to thoroughly cleanse the descendants of the Lu royal party.Then he used the family of Wujun to suppress the family of Kuaiji County.During this process, although you have killed many people, your throne is still stable-if you really want to kill indiscriminately like in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", this throne can sit on the throne for more than ten years?

"...Hmph, hehehe, Shi Ji. I'm getting more and more interested in Guan Zifeng. How about we invite him to Soochow as a guest?"

"Hehehe, Your Majesty, I hope that he will not come."

"Oh, yes. If he came, he must have brought tens of thousands of troops. At this time, although Cao Wei is gone, the Wu-Shu Alliance still needs to exist."

"Your Majesty can see this, and I am very pleased."

"Where, I am still young, and I lost my father's teaching when I was a child. There are still many things I don't understand about how to control this country. So please be sure to know everything in the future."

"I am trusted by His Majesty, dare not follow him to death!"

After another bloody drama between the monarch and his ministers, Sun Hao looked up at the sky: "Well, the morning light is getting brighter, and it's time to go to court. Today the envoys of the Jin Kingdom are going to have an audience, so let's go to the main hall early. Yes Now, these two envoys are called Chen Xiuyuan, and Zhang Maoxian, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Chen Qian's name is Xiuyuan, and he is currently the General of the Jin Kingdom. Zhang Hua's name is Maoxian, and he is currently the Huangmen servant of the Jin Kingdom."

"Hey, it's a pity that Huoyun Cthulhu was not sent here."

"Hahahaha~~~Your Majesty, Huoyun Cthulhu will be in his eighties this year, even if Jian Wushuang didn't give him such an nickname, he wouldn't be able to come."

"Tsk tsk, what a pity, Shi Ji, you know the two people who came today, right?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, I know them very well."

"Well, I have heard about Chen Xiuyuan a long time ago, the son of Chen Jiao of the Chen family in Guangling. It is said that when the Jin Kingdom was founded, it was granted eight false titles, known as the Eight Dukes of the Founding Kingdom. Chen Xiuyuan is a great general. Can't start a government, can't command an army, he's just a retired old man."

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate this person. From Zhong Hui's point of view, this person's military strategy will not be inferior to that of Lu Zijing in the past."

"Oh! Why did Shi Ji say that?"

"Your Majesty, Chen Xiuyuan first defended the Xiongnu and Xianbei in Zhongshan for many years. When he was in the northern border, the Huns and Xianbei did not dare to make trouble at all. Later, he followed Sima Zhao to quell the Zhuge Dan Rebellion. After that, he guarded Yangzhou for a long time and successfully recovered Hefei. During his term of office, the Right Chief Sima (Ding Feng) was not allowed to advance an inch. Later, he went to Jingzhou as the chief official. The Left Chief Sima (Shi Ji) failed to please him. He is the kind of He is good at tricks, and he is good at making all kinds of preparations in advance and crushing the enemy's commander with a majestic formation. Many times, the enemy has already failed before he even stepped onto the battlefield."

"Hiss~~~ Listen to what Shi Ji said, this is a rare general! But Sima Yan actually left such a good general idle? Why, Jin has so many talents that there is no place for such a good general? "

"Hehehe, Your Majesty. The talents of the Sima family have long since withered to shame. But what can be done? They are forced to rise to power after being defeated in Shu, and they are not willing in all aspects. It can only be done by picking out the tallest among the shortest among the relatives. Control the troops in various places and deal with it poorly. However, if the Jin State is at a critical moment, whether it is Chen Xiuyuan or Shi Zhongrong, they will all go to the battlefield again."

"Hey, I really hope that one day I can force such a famous general into the battlefield. Well, Shi Ji, where is Mao Xian? I have never heard of this person before."

"Your Majesty, this Zhang Maoxian, although he is only in his thirties this year, is full of talent and has a good character. His political ability is already higher than that of Zhong Hui. If it is not limited by his seniority and family background, this person is the most suitable person for Jin. The person who Shang Shuling."

"Ah! Shi Ji. The talent in the north is so prosperous! It's a pity that they can't stay in the most suitable position because of family and family history. Hey, I really look down on Sima Yan more and more."
