The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 495 The Strongest Enemy ([-])

The appointment of Yang Hu is the last appointment of the day.After that, Guan Yi directly ordered the maidservants to bring food and start the banquet.

During the banquet, the old ministers of the state of Jin who were not appointed, such as Pei Xiu, Zhang Hua, He Qiao, Ren Kai, etc., basically looked as usual, and all kinds of entertainment were very decent.But Xun Xu, Xun Kai, Yang Xiu, Wang Rong and others can clearly see that they are not in the right mind, and forced to smile.

These things are so obvious that not only Guan Yi can see it, but Jian Jian and Huo Zai, who are sitting side by side, can also see it.There is no doubt that the former is worth wooing.The latter, uh, if it is introduced into the court, it will be a pig teammate.

Among these people, Pei Xiu needless to say.Zhang Hua?On the basis of history, in the middle and early stages of the Eight Kings Rebellion, when the country was in such chaos, Zhang Hua was in charge of government affairs, basically maintaining the operation of the court, and was able to allocate money and food to quell local rebellions.That alone is remarkable.He Qiao and Ren Kai are ministers with good government affairs ability, bottom line and principles.

What about the group of people behind?Xun Xu has abilities, but he has no bottom line and principles for being a human being. All he does is to please the leaders and make them happy.Whether such a person is by Liu Chen's side or Guan Yi's side, the ruler will quickly degenerate: if a person only hears praise and flattery for decades, he will definitely be inflated. The sky is high and the earth is thick.

The next one is Xun Yu's great-grandson Xun Kai.Well, the children of the Xun family are quite good at government affairs at the moment.Xun Kai is also a master at escaping on the battlefield: from the five-way conquest of Shu to the subjugation of the Jin Kingdom, Xun Kai had no service in 12 years. Piece!

But this one, like Xun Xu, is a politician who has no bottom line or principles.In order to get promoted, he can do any shameless thing... Well, Mr. Xun Yu seems to have used up all the justice, principles, and persistence of his family.

Sheep Xiu?This is the typical dude that appears in textbooks.Well, let's find out about the Fourth Young Master in Beijing...

Wang Rong?As for this person, he is qualified on the political side.Leading troops to fight is also quite satisfactory.But this guy is a good talker.Well, many members of the Langya Wang family are masters of clear talk, and this one is considered a link between Wei and Jin metaphysics: above, he is the youngest of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.Next, he is Wang Yan's cousin again.Giving such a person a high official and a generous salary, is it because Ji Han's official style is too good, and he needs to be corrupted to balance it?

Oh, and this local tyrant of Shi Chongshi, how can this guy say, he has the ability, integrity?That is not to be expected at all.This kind of person, hey, should be sent to the Western Regions to harm the four great powers in the future.Don't even think about the position of the court.

Because everyone has something on their minds, and this is the first time that the original Ji Han generals gathered together with the former Jin State old ministers.So at the banquet, everyone couldn't let go.Therefore, the banquet did not last long and ended.

As the host, Guan Yi still dutifully stood at the door and sent all the guests away.After all the guests had left, Guan Yi turned to Shi Qiao and said, "Hongzu, go and chase Pei Jiyan, Zhang Maoxian, Ren Yuanbao, and Changyu back to me."

Don't have a brother of your own?But that's good too, at least it's safe to take back the position of Patriarch of the Shi family: "No!"

……

"I'll wait to see Da Sima."

"Please forgive me for troubling everyone to turn around late at night."

"Don't dare, what order does Da Sima want to send us? But please ask for instructions."

"How dare you tell me, come on, please sit down first."

After the guests and hosts sat down, Guan Yi cleared his throat: "Please come back late at night, but I hope to stabilize the Guandong."

This proposition is too big, so when Pei Xiu and others heard this, they didn't know how to answer it for a while.

Seeing such a situation, Guan Yi couldn't help but smile: "This is the topic of discussion tonight. Well, before doing anything, I must first ask about money and food. So..."

The direction of this question is very clear. Zhang Hua stood up and said, "Reporting to Da Sima, Jianwu, uh, no, in the first year of Guiyuan, there was a population of 320 million in the national list of the eight states of Kanto, and nearly 2000 million shi of grain in stock. , 150 billion yuan. On June 26, the third year of Guiyuan, there were more than 70 million stones of grain and [-] billion yuan in Luoyang City. But what I want to explain next is that these money are all Jianwu new money, including The amount of copper is only about [-]% of the Yanxing money of the big man. As for the household registration, there are [-] million in the register, but Luo Yang has lost contact with the outside world for a long time, so how much is this. But it is really hard to say..."

"Well, what Maoxian said is the truth." Guan Yi said after pondering for a while: "I received a letter from Chen Chengzuo (Chen Shou), the new governor of Jizhou, saying that it was the first year of Guiyuan, and there were 48 people in the Jizhou roster. After he took office, there were only 29 left. Excluding the 13 who were conscripted, [-] have disappeared!"

Having said that, Pei Xiu and the others could only helplessly smile.

The life-and-death battle between the Han and Jin Dynasties was fought for two years. During these two years, it was the feast time for the rich and powerful families: the country's energy was in combat, and it could not and did not dare to react to the family's encroachment on the country's self-employed farmers.Therefore, Pei Xiucai told Sima Yan before the war started that the war is a trivial matter, and the damage to the country's foundation caused by it is a major matter.

In fact, in the historical plane, the so-called "five chaos in China" and the death of more than [-]% of the Han people in North China are unreliable: the invasion of foreign races must have killed many Han people in the war.But it was this kind of large-scale war that ushered in a golden age of development for aristocratic families everywhere.

Due to the weakening of government power, ordinary civilians cannot be effectively protected.It is unscrupulous for the aristocratic family to embezzle ordinary people.When the Five Hus entered the Central Plains, the population on the national roster decreased by more than [-]%, but most of them were swallowed up by aristocratic families from all over the country.

Otherwise, why do you think that in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it took five or six outstanding emperors to succeed, and it took nearly a hundred years to completely suppress the five surnames and seven wangs in North China?That's because more than 300 years of separatism gave these aristocratic families enough time to develop into super giants!

"So, Maoxian, I am very pessimistic about the 200 million you mentioned. Even if the prisoners released this time are counted, the final figure can be [-] million. I should burn them It smells great."

Speaking of this, Guan Yi is also very speechless: the concept of the Guandong family is completely different from the Yizhou family that has been suppressed all the time, and the Yongliang family that has never been able to develop into a super giant due to natural conditions.It's also different from those guys in Soochow who only know how to pick weak chickens and pinch them repeatedly.

These families are currently the most greedy and aggressive families in China.In the historical plane, it is also the most shameless and bottomless family.At the same time, they are also the family that is best at disguising.

This is the most powerful enemy Guan Yi has encountered in this era as a time traveler!
