The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 199: South of the True Colored Cloud ([-])

Household tax is a very simple and practical policy to curb land mergers and control the size of aristocratic families.

Of course, any policy will be effective.What matters is how well it is executed.Jin State consciously relaxed the implementation of household tax in order to usurp the throne.Soochow was unable to implement it effectively because the royal family has been weak and weak since Sun Quan.In Shuhan, after Fei Yi was stabbed to death, the central government suddenly lacked the suppression of powerful officials and became relaxed.Therefore, in the past ten years, the aristocratic families of the three countries have obtained a golden period of development.

Now, the Wei, Jin and Chan Dynasties have finally been completed, and the Jin State and the Han and Wu countries have signed an armistice agreement at the same time.So Sima Yan finally freed up his hands, and prepared to impose certain restrictions on the aristocratic families in his country who had grown more and more outrageous in the past ten years.The central governments of Soochow and Shuhan finally ushered in a strong head of the family, and began to emphasize the implementation of the household tax policy.

Everyone knows that whoever thoroughly implements this policy in the three countries will gain the upper hand in this fierce competition of life and death.

There is no doubt that among the three countries, Guan Yi is the most relaxed, because Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and others have laid a good foundation for him-the Shu Han family is a scumbag in comparison with Jin and Wu .In addition, he also left him with an efficient civil servant team—although it has been depraved during the administration of Chen Yu and Dong Jue, the foundation is still there after all, and it is relatively easy to pull it back.

However, he is also the one who is under the greatest pressure.There is only one reason: he is just a powerful minister, not an emperor.The failure of the reform led by the emperor is nothing more than retraction.And if the reform led by the power minister fails, it will really lose his head.

Therefore, in order not to be beheaded by others, although Guan Da Sima was exhausted all day long.But this time he returned to Chengdu from Zitong, and after meeting Shi Bao with Liu Chan, he hurriedly took Huo Zai, Ma Yi, Wang Qi, Lao Ah and others to Nanzhong.

Speaking of it, the 22 counties of Shuhan are geographically divided into four major blocks.On the western Sichuan plain are the six counties of Shu, on the hilly and mountainous side of eastern Sichuan are the five counties of Ba, and to the north of Daba Mountain are the four counties headed by Hanzhong (Hanzhong, Wudu, Yinping, and Wenshan County slightly to the southwest).In these three blocks, the Fuxing Society has shareholders who act as sheriffs to control it.As for the seven counties in Nanzhong, the Fuxing Society did not intervene at all.

This was a political compromise made by the Fuxing Society with the Yuancong faction as the core force to the Jingzhou faction of the Shu Han.

After Yan Yu, Zhuge Zhan and others died in battle, the strength of the Jingzhou faction was greatly weakened.But after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.As the ruling party in the Shu Han political arena for more than 40 years, the Jingzhou faction still has great influence and control: Fuxingshe has only won 22 seats among the 7 county prefects.Most of the remaining 15 seats are still in the hands of the Jingzhou faction.

Therefore, as the last general of the Jingzhou faction, Guan Yi was very wise not to stuff people into the Nanzhong that Huo Yi was in charge of.

However, he is the Great Sima after all, and his goal is actually the same as Jiang Wei's goal: Northern Expedition!As a country whose comprehensive national strength is still at the bottom of the Three Kingdoms, if it wants to go to the Northern Expedition, it will really have to use every ounce of strength in the whole country.As the seven counties of Nanzhong whose GDP accounts for about one-sixth of the Shu Han, whether he is stable or not, and whether he fully supports the Northern Expedition is closely related to Guan Yi's life.Therefore, he still has to go to Nanzhong himself.

There are seven counties in Nanzhong.Among them, Zang Cang County is roughly the same as today's Guizhou Province.As for Yuexi County, the approximate scope is the same as that of Liangzhou Autonomous Prefecture and Panzhihua City in Sichuan Province today.The core area of ​​Zhuti County is today's Zhaotong City in Yunnan Province.The core area of ​​Yunnan County is today's Dali City.The core area of ​​Xinggu County is today's Gejiu City.What about Yongchang County?Baoshan, Tengchong and other places, as well as a considerable part of Myanmar today.

These six counties form a ring.Wrap Jianning County, the core county of Nanqi County, in the middle.The Nanzhong Governor's Mansion of the Shu Han Dynasty was located in Weixian County (now Qujing City, Yunnan Province) in Jianning County.

However, Guan Yi's first stop after entering Nanzhong at this time was not Wei County, but Guchang County, which is now Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province.

The water area of ​​Dianchi Lake in this era is much larger than that of later generations.It's a pity that the current Dianchi Lake is not much better than the industrially polluted Dianchi Lake in later generations - because of the copper mining order of Guanda Sima, the Dianchi Lake with green mountains and green waters and the surrounding mountains have become Devastated.

In the 21st century, the total population of the three provinces and one city in the Southwest was 6000 million. Now the population of Shu Han is only 400 million (the population on the government roster is even smaller).So talking about environmental protection in this era is definitely a brain problem.

In this era, the first thing to solve is food and clothing!
On the vast and misty Dianchi Lake, Guan Yi and the others rode in several small fishing boats, chatting with each other.

"Fang Bo, for my brother's visit this time, he didn't visit your father first, isn't he angry?"

"Hehe, brother, don't worry. My father received your letter in advance, which means he has received your respect. So, it doesn't matter."

"Well, that's good. Uh, this boatman, what tribe are you from? What's your name? Let's chat?"

"If you go back to the nobleman, the little old man is from the Xie people (predecessor of the Bai people). As for the name, I don't have a Chinese surname. The nobleman can just call me Maochi."

"Mao Chi? Do you all think you are the descendant of Chi You? That is the ancestor of the Jingman (Miao nationality)."

"Your lord, do you still know about Chi You? My little old man thought you Han people only knew that the Lop-Eared Witch invited Red Dragon Duke and Huang Long Duke."

Lop-eared witch?Mostly it refers to Nuwa, right?Duke Chilong and Duke Huanglong, of course, are Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang.

"Of course I know Chi You. He is a great hero!"

"Oh, little old man, this is the first time I've heard Han people praise our ancestors. Your noble mind is really amazing."

Of course, I am a time traveler: "Mao Chigong, how long has the copper mountain on the south bank of Dianchi Lake been mined?"

"Well, I think it should have started last summer. By this autumn, it should be more than a year."

"What did Lord Maochi do for a living? Farming? Fishing? Or both?"

"The nobleman is very accurate. The little old man is a fisherman. Farming? That's what Axia (in the walking marriage system, men call female lovers) what they do."

"Hehehe, that's how it is." Mao Chi's words were nothing to people like Huo Zai and Ma Yi who knew the local customs well.But it is difficult for a trouble-free veteran like Adamu to understand—due to the problems of the production environment and productivity, people are still in a matriarchal society, and farming is done by women here.Of course you can't understand, old man.

Gently waving his hand to let the old Abie speak, Guan Yi asked again: "Mr. Maochi, how many Axias do you have?"

"Hey!" Hearing this sentence, the gray beard suddenly turned up: "When the little old man was young, he was the best at climbing over walls. Speaking of which, um, there should be no less than ten A-Xia."

Hey, it's a good thing I didn't bring that bastard Jian Wushuang, otherwise this kid would definitely not be leaving.

After clearing up his mood, Guan Yi asked again: "Mao Chigong is a fisherman, so now the copper mine is mined, polluting the water quality of Dianchi Lake. Will it affect your livelihood?"

"Well, it was influential at first. Last summer, when those Han Chinese from the far north arrived here, they dug around Dianchi Lake for a while, making the whole lake dirty and messy. But later they discovered that there were no mines north of Dianchi Lake. , and concentrated to the south. So now the northern half of the Dianchi Lake, fishing is not affected. Well, no, because the south is too noisy, the fish are all coming to the north. Speaking of it, fishing is easier than before gone."

"Oh, that's good. Well, those fake Wei...ah, no, how did those Han people from the far north treat you? Are you okay?"

"Well, it's okay. They are all polite. Hey, I heard that they are our captives. We should thank God Chi You for not killing them all. How dare you do anything?"

"Hehehe, then they got in touch with you, did you get any benefits?"

"Well, there are many benefits. This fish could not be sold at a price before, but after they came, the price has tripled at least. In the past, the nephews of the little old man's family had nothing to do, but just stayed at home in a daze. Now all I went to work in the copper mines opened by the Han people. In the four months of last year and the first nine months of this year, the six youngsters can buy more than 100 stone rice with their wages. It is no less than my sisters who farm and harvest. Little old man My eldest sister plans to go to Wei County during the Chinese New Year this year. I heard that the Yue cloth there is very cheap. It’s time to make new clothes for the whole family. Otherwise, when the six brats grow up, there will be no new clothes. clothes, you won’t be able to find A-Xia.”

"Huh? You mean, after the group of Han people came..."

"Yes, the group of Han people can do anything. That's the bad thing. The girls in every village like to let the group of Han people do Azhu. Last year, several of our youngsters failed to find their own Axia. What's more, after our girls got pregnant, these Han people actually wanted to take their A-Xia out of the stockade and take it to the copper mine to support. This is really unreasonable! Women don't work, but also enjoy men's life Support? What is this called? Also, shouldn’t a woman’s child be raised by the mother and the child’s uncle? When is the father qualified to raise a child? My lord, these Han people are good at everything , it’s just disgusting here!”
