The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 304 Aftermath of the War ([-])
"Xiaguan Gaofeng, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and all the superiors."

Sure enough, as Gao Feng expected, when he went to the prince's mansion, he found the prince, Zhang Shao, Luo Xian, Huo Yi, Jian Jian, Sun Gang, Guan Suo and other local tycoons in court, as well as Huo Zai and Luo who had returned from the front line. Attack and others have already gathered together.And looking at their exhausted expressions, it seems that they have already discussed and argued for a long time.

"I really came here to hear the result." Seeing this scene, Gao Feng laughed at himself unconsciously again.

With Yongliang in his hands, the situation of Yizhou dominating the big or Yizhou alone supporting the big man has been completely changed.Drastic changes in the general situation will inevitably bring about the redistribution of benefits and the reshuffle of the court.

Although Guan Yi tried his best to unite a group of people as much as possible by diluting the shares of Fuxingshe.But the Fuxing Society now only has dozens of families installed.Generally speaking, the four major factions in the political ecology of the former Shu Han still exist.

Among the four major factions, the Yuancong or Fuxing faction undoubtedly once again possessed the capital to gain more official positions and real power.The Dongzhou faction has tended to disintegrate.As for the remaining two factions...

For the Yizhou scholars, their feelings are complicated: after winning Yongliang, the parasitic colonial regime finally no longer needs to suck blood only from Yizhou's thigh.However, while the exploitation will be significantly reduced, the importance of Yizhou to the Han will inevitably be weakened.

In the words of Qiao Zhou, who is now living at home, it is: Over the past few decades, as the old people of the Jingzhou School and Dongzhou School have withered one by one, the voices of Yizhou people in the court have become louder and louder.Although many official positions are in name only, but with such development, as the Jingzhou faction and the Dongzhou faction fail to take over.Sooner or later, Yizhou people will gain real power in the Han court.At that time, the Shu Han, no matter how unwilling the ruler is, will become another Soochow.But it's different now, the big man has taken Yongliang.Yizhou people have been suffering for so many years, and they are about to pick peaches, the result!Suddenly the entire regime could no longer rely on Yizhou people.

And what about the Jingzhou School?Hehe, due to the shortage of talents, Guan Da Sima didn't like them very much for a long time.But in the past, in order to maintain the Shu Han regime and not completely aristocratic, Da Sima had to hold his nose and give the Jingzhou faction enough power.But now?If the Jingzhou faction can no longer provide enough high-quality talents.There is no doubt that their status will continue to weaken.

But without the continuous support of the land of Jingxiang, how can the Jingzhou faction suddenly come up with so many talents?And according to Da Sima's national policy, even Yongliang was won.In the short term, the main direction of the big man's attack is not Jingzhou.

Not only are they unhappy, the royal family is actually not very happy either.

The reason is of course simpler: you, Guan Yi, are already the Secretary of the Grand Sima Kaifu, and you are already the county marquis.Now you have made achievements far surpassing Prime Minister Zhuge.How should I award it?Fenggong?Once this step is taken, the shadows of Cao Cao and Sima Zhao will inevitably cover the sky of the big man.

Yes, as the royal family surnamed Liu, we most hope that the regime of Dahan can prosper.But there is a prerequisite for this: the regime must be surnamed Liu!But if it continues like this, this regime may not be long, and his surname will be Guan!
Therefore, don't look at Guan Yi and Jiang Wei who won Yongliang and completely solved the survival crisis for the Shu Han.But for the three major factions whose interests are about to be damaged, they are really not very happy.As for the royal family, I am afraid that there is more panic than excitement.

So for Guan Yi, the joy of the Northern Expedition's success lasted for a while.If he doesn't do his best in the next benefit distribution and personnel adjustment.The success of the Northern Expedition may be the starting point of his death and family extermination-the existing major factions of the Shu Han regime may unite like never before and form an anti-corruption alliance.

Therefore, shortly after Guan Yi entered Chang'an, he sent Huo Zai and Luo Xi to rush back to Chengdu.After that, Huo Yi, Luo Xian, Sun Gang and others also entered Chengdu.Together with the backbone of the Fuxing Department in the imperial court, everyone discussed behind closed doors in the Prince's Mansion for a long time.

First of all, Huo Zai and Luo Xi made it clear on behalf of Guan Yi: I have no intention of becoming a Duke, nor do I plan to become a prime minister.I am very comfortable sitting in the position of Da Sima.So all the officials in the imperial court also have to shut up to Lao Tzu, and don't put up such nonsense that Da Sima has made great contributions and should be rewarded with the title of Duke.I said I would not accept the offer.

It can be said that while Guan Yi's statement made the royal family breathe a sigh of relief, it also created a bigger problem: how to reward Guan Yi?

It is impossible not to reward those who have made great achievements!Behind Guan Yi is not alone.In this Northern Expedition, the Shu Han invested 13 troops and mobilized more than [-] civilians.If Guan Yi doesn't get the reward, what about the people below?No rewards?After that, who is willing to work for the court?

So when Prince Liu Chen asked this question, Huo Zai and Luo Xi said: What Da Sima means is to emphasize reality and despise fame.And taking this opportunity, a new policy was introduced.

Guan Yi's head was still clear at this moment.As for Jiang Wei, after fulfilling his long-cherished wish for many years, he only felt that his life was complete and he didn't want too much.As for Zhang Yi, the other commander of the Northern Expedition, don't forget that he is the number one leader of the Yizhou people in the military.With Yongliang taking over, Yizhou's status within the Shuhan will drop significantly.So what Zhang Yi is looking for at this time is to stabilize the interests of the entire Yizhou.His personal requirements are not too much.

Therefore, after the three commanders have unified their opinions, the next thing will be much easier.

Specifically, the rewards for the main generals of this Northern Expedition are as follows:

Guan Yi, the great Sima, opened the government, supervised all Chinese and foreign military forces, and recorded the affairs of the minister.Xie Lianghou's title of county marquis remained unchanged, but the number of sealed households directly increased from [-] to [-].In addition, his eldest son, Guan Fu, was named the fifth Marquis of Hanshou Ting, with [-] households actually sealed.

Jiang Wei, General, Prince Taifu, Pingshang Shushi.The title of Marquis Pingxiang remained unchanged, and the number of households was increased to [-].His son, Jiang Su, was granted the title of Marquis of Dangyang Ting (Jiang Wei's previous title), and three hundred households were sealed.

The rewards of these two people have been fixed, and basically the rewards of all the soldiers in this Northern Expedition have also been fixed.

The Shu Han used to be financially tight because of its small size.Therefore, the so-called county marquis, township marquis and Ting marquis are all illusory princes, without real land and private households.The reform of the title system this time is to make a little change to this.

Of course, of the fifteen states in the world at this time, Shuhan only had three of them.Therefore, it is impossible to completely seal the land.Fortunately, these days, generally speaking, the land is vast and sparsely populated. As long as you are willing to reclaim wasteland—as long as you pay the government a certain amount of money, you can buy the land.

And the number of households awarded here does not mean how many households the state directly allocates to you from the civil register.It's about how many households the country gives you.Within this quota, you do not have to pay household tax, poll tax, etc.This is the most practical reward for meritorious ministers.

In Guan Yi's view, the work of checking the household tax, weakening the aristocratic family, and restoring the hidden population of the aristocratic family to the national register must continue.But this kind of matter of digging up the family's ancestral graves cannot be blindly tough.In addition to using various handicrafts, mining, etc. to divert the family's attention and funds.It is also necessary to give the aristocratic family a certain way out-not to mention the ready-made aristocratic family, but the generals under Guan Yi, who doesn't want to become an aristocratic family?With the expansion of their power, after their manors began to hide a large number of people, would they still listen to their own words like today?

Therefore, I simply set a rule directly: you have military merits, and you have credit.Well, I will give you the number of tax-free places.With this tax-free quota, you can justifiably recruit ordinary people or refugees into your manor to become your tenants, and the tenants within the quota are still tax-free.As for you who have no military merits or other merits but have so many tenants?Sorry, please pay household tax and poll tax.

The advantage of doing this is: completely separate the hero class from the ordinary family.The merging of the two groups was avoided.

In the future, if a person wants to make a fortune, the main process is: study, become an official, make meritorious service, obtain a position, and make a fortune.As for colluding with the government as before, oppressing and embezzling the country's own farmers.Hmph, first of all, the heroic class must oppose it.

Of course, human greed is endless.After the meritorious class got the tax-free quota and established their own manor and family, they inevitably pursued more tenants and more manor land.But to achieve this goal, relying solely on military merit is still too slow.Moreover, not all descendants of the heroic class may become successful.So it is inevitable that they will degenerate into today's aristocratic family...but that will be many years later.Many years later, Guan Yi certainly had new ways to guide him.

Therefore, under this policy, the generals of this Northern Expedition more or less got a certain tax-free quota.Ma Jie, Qian Hong, Tian Xu, and Wen Yang, who had killed the enemy generals many times after their surrender, also won the title of Marquis of Ting in addition to their official positions.

The last ordinary soldiers and civilian husbands.For those killed in battle, the children who have children are exempted from tax, and those who have no children are allowed to exempt their brothers from tax.Those who are disabled will be exempted from tax for life, and the state will provide a subsidy of [-] yuan per year.Other soldiers and civilian husbands were given treatment such as money, tax exemption or promotion according to the size of their specific contributions.
