The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 367 Cao Wei raises the flag again

September [-] AD, Luoyang Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Except for the northern counties of Youzhou and Pingzhou (Liaodong) in the eight states of the Kanto region of the Jin State, winter wheat is planted in other places, and the harvest season is in late June.So when Guan Yi and others could only estimate a rough figure for the autumn harvest.Most of the autumn grain in the Jin Kingdom has been registered and put into storage.

"Your Majesty, according to the statistics of Shangshutai. In the first year of Jianwu, the accumulated taxed cultivated land of our Dajin was 30 million mu, and the actual cultivated land was 150 million mu. Its income is deducted from the income of all levels of princes, dukes and After the salaries of Baron Hou Bozi, officials at all levels, and soldiers. The actual surplus in the treasury is 300 million shi grains and 180 billion money."

"...Well, Ji Yan, is this 180 billion Jianwu new money or the old Wei Wuzhu?"

"Uh, it's Jianwu's new money. Converted to the previous Wei Wuzhu, it's about 70 billion."

"What? Ji Yan, did you miscalculate? Last year when our country was defeated in Kansai, the national income was not less than 130 billion yuan. Even if we lose Yongliang this year, it will be reduced by [-]%. This, this...how can we directly halve it ?”

"Your Majesty, forgive me. Yongliang is lost, and the poll tax of more than 70 people in Yongliang is gone. This money accounts for about [-]%. The remaining [-]% ​​is mainly due to the flood of illegal salt and smuggling. The country's salt tax is less than one-fifth of last year's... In addition, in addition to smuggling salt, Shu thieves also have various daily commodities and luxury utensils smuggled into the country. The spare money of the people and the large amount of funds of the family All of them flowed out in large quantities. As a result, the national business tax was also cut in half. And a large amount of copper coins entered Shu, resulting in a sharp reduction in the national copper coin inventory... At least the speed of this decrease has exceeded the number of new coins minted by several major copper mines every year."

"This... I have ordered Ma Xiaoxing and Wang Shizhi to strictly investigate the smuggling. Where did these things come from?"

"Your Majesty, I have reported to you before." It was Jia Chong who came out to answer at this time: "Illegal salt and various commodities first came from Bingzhou and Tongguan, and later from the northern grasslands. It seems that the Shu thieves changed their trade routes. .”

"Is there such a thing? How did I approve it at that time?"

"Your Majesty asked the minister to strictly investigate smuggling in Youzhou when he was Uncle Meng."

"How did Uncle Meng do things?!"

"Your Majesty, I really can't blame Uncle Meng for this. The Xianbei people on the grasslands all took advantage of the Shu thieves and tried their best to help various traders smuggle. On the one hand, Uncle Meng wanted to strictly investigate smuggling, but on the other hand, he didn't dare to press the Xianbei tribes. It was too urgent, which led to riots in Xianbei's ministries. So..."

"Hey! After all, they are all a bunch of internal thieves who eat inside and outside! They put aside the righteousness of the country for a little profit!"

Angrily cursed, Sima Yan knew it himself: chasing profit.Insatiable greed is the instinct of the family.After the concept of regional distribution rights has firmly bound the big and small families in all states and counties, how can he really start a war with all the families?
But fortunately, the Shu thieves seem to have achieved self-sufficiency in food?No large quantities of food were seen being removed.

(Guan Yi: Hmph, because Ma Long and Wang Jun are two bastards with high moral character, and they don’t take hard things. The trade route was forced to detour, and the cost of transporting grain is too high. Waiting for Chang’an to Wuyuan Once the straight road is completed, I will ask the aristocratic family in the Kanto to exchange food for high-quality wine. At that time...)
"Hey, with the country's current income, if there is a big event, it will still feel stretched. Ladies and gentlemen, is there any way to increase the country's income?"

How to increase?Strict inspection of household tax?But this household tax inspection has been done for several rounds, and the easy ones have been done, and the rest are all deep-rooted stubbles.Who dares to touch them?
Reduce the prince's salary and fief?These guys are very dissatisfied that they have been confiscated.If you don't touch their economic interests, do you really think that if their surname is Sima, they won't rebel?

Tax increase?Didn't you see that the actual number of acres cultivated by domestic self-cultivating farmers is basically the same as the number of acres taxed by the state?This shows what?In order to accomplish the national goal of taxing adult men on [-] acres of land.People all over the world have devoted their lives to arable land, and the power of the people has been squeezed to the extreme!Under such circumstances, the tax increase is to give birth to the next Chen Sheng and Wu Guang!
"Your Majesty, at this moment, we still have to find a way on the land."

"Oh? Ji Yan, what's the best way?"

"Si Wencao has already obtained a full set of information about Qu Yuanli from Xishu. Shangshutai has organized people to test it, and it can indeed greatly improve the efficiency of farming. In addition, Si Wencao also stole the Han Dynasty of the Shu thief. Seeds of bean and Han rice. You can try to promote it.”

"Well, I've heard of this before, and it's possible. But the name of Handou and Handao is really hateful. Let's call it Jindou and Jindao."

"The minister obeys the order."

"In addition, although I don't know about farming, I also know that the number of bean and rice seeds that Si Wencao brought back from the Shu thieves is limited. It is not urgent to cultivate them like this. I heard that Wu Gou is also promoting new rice seeds on a large scale in the south. You can ask them for some."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

How can I be wise, didn't you just say what you said just now, Pei Xiu, you deliberately didn't say it, so as to set off me?You old thief is getting smarter.Speaking of which, my Dajin is in the north, how many places are suitable for growing rice?I originally hoped that you would come up with a plan to restrict the aristocratic family, but in the end you used these side details to fool me.I really don't know what you think in your heart?
But although Sima Yan understood it, he couldn't explain it clearly: according to the theory of class struggle, Sima Jin's rule was based on the aristocratic family, not the self-cultivating peasants!
"Let's stop here for today. Your family has worked hard. Go back and rest earlier."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will tell you..."

"Report~~~Your Majesty! Urgent report!"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"The traitor Cao Ti has become king in Shangyong!"

……

"On the fifth day of September in the ninth year of Jingyuan in the Great Wei Dynasty, Wuzi Shuo.

Today the Great Wei is revived.There are already three counties in Weixing.There are hundreds of thousands of tigers, all of whom are loyal and loyal elites. Using this to attack thieves is as powerful as a broken bamboo!Jinzhi lingers on, dying.It is actually revealed.Today, I am the Great Wei, with prestige spreading everywhere, and Xuanfeng Zhongyue.After the ups and downs, the Guandong was sealed, followed the old system of the Taizu, and repaired the virtues of the Liezu.If there is disobedience, Wu Jun will fight it.Then return to the teacher to vibrate the brigade, bow and lie on the drum.Deuteronomy common people, each in his own place, the common people have no responsibility for their sons! '"

……

"Wow~~~!" Hearing Pei Xiu read Cao Ti's proclamation in a cadence, listening to Cao Ti expose the scandal of the Sima family.Sima Yan only felt ashamed and angry, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, he passed out suddenly.

This essay made me heartbroken~~~~~~ Writing historical essays is really poor and hard work!
