Huo Qubing was full of interest, gearing up, eager to ride a war horse and immediately rush to the front line, but Yang Pingfan poured cold water on him, "I can't learn now, I have to learn while killing the enemy on the battlefield, and learn the art of war in the war." ”

Hearing these words, Huo Quzhi also calmed down, yes, although he is very favored by Jinshang, he has no evidence and no persuasive strength, and whoever is the emperor will not give himself the power of a young man to lead troops.

Yang Pingfan saw his expression of joy and sadness, and smiled secretly in his heart, he was really still a young man, and he couldn't hold his breath.

"There is something here for the teacher, you take it to Liu Che to see, maybe he will like it. ”

Yang Pingfan said and took out a scroll of silk books, the silk books were the military strategy of the Huns written by a down-and-out literati who asked him to write letters on the street in the past few days, Huo Quzhi was puzzled, took a few hasty glances, and suddenly became excited, "I'll go now!" I didn't notice that the master dared to call the emperor by his name.

Yang Pingfan smiled and nodded.

Huo Quzhi is the emperor's nephew and an attendant officer, and he can freely enter and leave Weiyang Palace, he and Yang Pingfan separated, rode a white horse, ran a few steps, and looked back at Yang Pingfan, "Master, that ...... These are my companions, you see......"

He was talking about a few fox friends who were stunned by Yang Pingfan, Yang Pingfan secretly admired in his heart, cared about his companions, and his true temperament, so he nodded, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass them, I'll wake them up and send them away." After saying that, he walked to the side of several noble children lying on the ground, and when he didn't see any movement, these people groaned and moved.

Seeing this, Huo Quai's hanging heart was relieved, he held the silk text given by the master tightly, and went straight to Weiyang Palace, the southern army guarding knew him, and did not dare to stop him.

At this time, Liu Che had not yet received the nickname of Emperor Wu, he was just an energetic young emperor, who had been on the throne for more than ten years, the regime had gradually stabilized, and the national strength was also thriving.

Because although the national strength of the Han Dynasty is strong, it is only on the surface, and it is not really strong to the roots, and if you want to conquer the Xiongnu on a large scale, you have to kick the door, but he and his subordinates have not been able to figure out where to start.

Huo Quai's sudden visit, the emperor gladly received him, he likes to use the Wei family, because the Wei family is the slave of his sister Princess Pingyang, without any power background of his relatives, he belongs to his own people who can be trusted, and the Wei family is all beautiful, the queen Wei Zifu needless to say, if it weren't for the peerless elegance, he would not have been included in the palace, and his brother-in-law Wei Qing is also a beautiful man with a good demeanor, and his nephew Huo Qubing inherited the blood of the Wei family, and looks like his uncle Wei When he was young, in a few years, he had to be named a servant.

The nephew's expression today was a little strange, respectfully handing over a silk book to the emperor's brother-in-law, Liu Chehu was suspicious, first opened the silk book and looked at it, what was written on it turned out to be a strategy to deal with the Huns, suggesting a long-distance attack on light horses, carrying out a devastating blow, and at the same time taking peaceful means to win over and divide the countries in the Western Regions, all of which are secretly in line with the battle plan formulated by Liu Che and his staff, but it is not difficult to analyze and judge these, which is an open secret.

But the bottom half of the article is where the gist lies.

First, it was suggested that the imperial court implement the "Reckoning Order", which stipulated that the property tax should be levied on merchants, with one tael being 1,000 yuan for every taels, and 1 tariff being counted as 120 yuan); , and the property of the handicraftsman, where the four taels are counted by one, is for the purpose of "counting money".

The tax rate of 6% was not high for 120 yuan out of 2,000 yuan, but for the businessmen at that time, the central government's tax increase was an unprecedented move, and the resistance was very strong.

With the executive power of the ancient government, it is impossible to afford to support the impenetrable tax authorities all over the country, so it is necessary for businessmen to file their own taxes, and the big businessmen deliberately conceal their property and resolutely do not want to pay taxes in full.

At the same time, the relationship between the big merchants and the officials was generally very good, and they used their connections to avoid the government's tax investigations, so the tax measures of the Han court did not have the desired effect, and it was impossible to maintain his foreign wars and internal expenses.

Therefore, the silk book is supplemented at the end of the proposal, stipulating that any businessman who conceals or fails to report his property or makes a false report is encouraged to expose it to those who know it, and as long as the revelation is true, all the defendant's property will be confiscated, and a fine of one year will be imposed on the border, and half of the confiscated property will be awarded to the informant.

Liu Che read it a few times, and was amazed by this genius-like idea, looking up to the sky and laughing, laughing and getting carried away, the attendants heard the sound and came to each other, turning their heads and ears, I don't know why the emperor was laughing, Huo Quzhi knelt awkwardly, such as on the needle felt, although he was a relative, but Long Yan was moody, who knew if he would turn his face in the next second.

The young man's brain was running at a high speed, and he began to imagine that he had only known that man for less than half a day, and he actually believed his words like a ghost, so he came to the emperor with a silk book, afraid that something was going to happen.

After Liu Che laughed, his face was full of energy, with this strategy, the chances of winning the Northern Expedition to the Huns were only between five and five, but now they are ten percent sure. 110 eBooks

"Go to the sick, you tell me honestly, did you write this article after all?"

Huo Quzhi's face was hot, he hesitated, but he still told the truth, it was a Fang Shi who entrusted him to hand it over, Huo Quzhi didn't dare to say that he had worshiped Yang Pingfan as a teacher, you must know that Empress Wei Zifu once proposed to let Dongfang Shuo be her teacher, but she went back, and now the news of worshipping a Jianghu warlock as a teacher is spreading, maybe the emperor will be angry.

Liu Che nodded, "Where is this person, I want to summon him, by the way, let Dongfang Shuo come too." The emperor was still thoughtful in addition to being in high spirits, calling Dongfang Shuolai to distinguish the authenticity of the immortals, and there were many warlocks in the rivers and lakes these years.

"Obey!" The young Huo Qu was overjoyed, and he ran out like a fly, and galloped out of Weiyang Palace.

But the teacher was nowhere to be found, not in the house, and did not leave any address, and searched the north of Weiyang Palace and did not see anyone, the young man was sullen, and first went back to Weiyang Palace to reply to the decree, only to say that the person did not say goodbye, and could not be found again, the emperor was not thundered and angry, which is also in line with his conjecture, maybe the other party is really a master of the world who does not like the worldly affairs, and intends to borrow the hand of his nephew to help himself, okay, they are all characterful, and they are not a courtier like Dongfang Shuo, he pondered for a moment, made a will, and began to implement the suggestions on the silk book.

After the promulgation of the decree, the enthusiasm of the people of the whole country was aroused, and there were reports everywhere that businessmen were hiding their assets and evading taxes, and these businessmen were severely punished by the government, and those who reported were also rewarded.

According to the "Hanshu Food and Goods Chronicle", after the implementation of the edict, "all the people above the middle family were sued...... There are hundreds of millions of people's property, tens of millions of slaves and maids, hundreds of hectares in Tianda County, and more than 100 hectares in small counties; The same goes for the house. So the businessman and the family were broken. ”

Relying on the tax collection strategy, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally got his wish and obtained enough wealth to support him in the next war with the Xiongnu.

However, the reputation left by the Whistle Decree in history is not good, because the Whistle Decree encourages the people to whistleblow, corrodes public morality, infringes on the normal rights and interests of merchants, and may also create unjust cases, which will cause endless harm to future generations.

Of course, these problems exist, but big businessmen are rich and powerful, forming a crushing situation for ordinary people, and if there is not enough material stimulation, insiders have little incentive to report tax evasion. Without huge incentives, taxes may not be collected on their heads at all.

If you can't collect the taxes of big businessmen, then you can only let ordinary people bear them.

Solving the hidden threat of big merchants, the emperor was full of confidence and ordered Feng Huo to go to the sick as the captain of Bi Yao, and accompanied Wei Qing on an expedition against the Xiongnu.

This expedition against the Xiongnu has already been decided, the army and horses have long been ready, just waiting for the auspicious day to go out, originally did not plan to let Huo Quai, such a seventeen-year-old child participate in the war, but the emperor temporarily changed his mind, not only let him accompany the army to fight in Monan, but also named him a lieutenant only lower than the general.

Huo Qubing was pleasantly surprised, thanked him again and again, and returned home, although he was a drag oil bottle born to his mother Wei Shao'er unmarried and pregnant, but the Chen family regarded him as their own, and heard that Huo Qubing was actually named a school captain, they were overjoyed, and Zhang Luo was ready to celebrate.

Mother Wei Shao'er was very worried, and his stepfather Chen Zhang comforted him, thinking that his brother-in-law Wei Qing was the leading coach, no matter how hard he was, he couldn't suffer his nephew, and the Wei family was from a humble background, and he needed military skills to lay a solid foundation, and it was good to have some experience.

"Son, listen to your uncle this time and be a grain overseer. ”

Wei Shao'er didn't know how to march and fight, and only knew that the position of grain supervisor was the safest.

"If I want to do it, I will be a general. ”

Huo Quzhi said proudly, he didn't have a biological father since he was a child, he grew up in the fat powder pile, but because his mother's family was the emperor's celebrity, the people of the Chen family never treated him badly, and spoiled him to lawlessness.

But compared to the Huns who grew up on horseback, it was still not enough, and this ambition caused deep concern among his mother and the Chen family, but Emperor Chrysostom said that nothing could be changed.

Huo Quzhi began to prepare for the expedition, but he was very arrogant on the surface, but in his heart he began to miss the teacher who only had one side, you must know that he applied to the emperor of his uncle-in-law several times, and each time he was rejected, but he didn't expect to agree this time, and he didn't know where the teacher went.
