Chapter 985: The Night Is Cool

Historical stages are not stimulated or induced by a point or a line.

Rather, it is a huge painting of countless lines, countless points moving and intertwining according to their own will, and this huge picture scroll is the accumulation of these countless individual wills, note that it is the sum of vectors, not scalar sums. These people's wills may be the same or completely opposite, so when combined, the result is not what everyone wants.

The reason why the Three Kingdoms are the Three Kingdoms is not simply the addition of one historical event after another, but the interweaving and influencing each other. There are reasons why the Three Kingdoms became the Three Kingdoms, but there is no such thing as a real reason.

As the study and observation of history in later generations, it is natural to choose to stand at any node that you want to observe, and then still go up and down the clues of time to summarize or extend the changes in it......

However, this kind of summary or extension does not mean that history can be planned and predicted.

In the later world, people who know a little bit about history will say that the stars of the Three Kingdoms are shining, beautiful and wonderful, but they don't see that the great turmoil of the Three Kingdoms has broken the balance of power between the Hu and Han people. The great chaos of Wuhu Chaohua is the result of the continuous accumulation of contradictions in the last years of the Han Dynasty, and it is a turning point after the substantial growth of the population.

Fei Qian wrapped the clothes on his body, although it was already summer, but the current temperature is not very high, compared to the temperature of the previous two or three years, it is still a lot lower, especially at night, the cool breeze is even more chilly......

In the Qin and Han dynasties, in fact, the temperature was very high, according to Fei Qian's understanding, the temperature in the Yellow River basin should be about the same as the temperature south of the Yangtze River in later generations, that is to say, in fact, in the Qin and Han dynasties, the proportion of tropical and subtropical in this piece of land in China is actually relatively high.

Even in the late Three Kingdoms, there were still Asian elephants on the land of China, so Cao Chong also had elephants to call ......

But now, the drop in temperature is a noticeable phenomenon.

Fei Qian raised his head and let out a breath at the night sky, fortunately, there was not much white smoke.

However, time is running out.

The gradual drop in temperature will cause the grasslands in the north to no longer be suitable for grazing, and the Hu people will inevitably be forced to migrate south, the Qiang, the Southern Xiongnu, or the Xianbei, a situation that Fei Qian alone cannot reverse......

It's like running poison.

If you don't want to be poisoned, you have to run to safety.

Of course, the land of China in front of us is just the most suitable stage for a great troubled era. The stage is fragile and sinister, and the whole composition is already changing.

The wind and rain are blowing, and the temperature is decreasing step by step, step by step, step by step.

Fei Qian looked up at the sky, the countless stars in the sky, beautiful and dreamy, just like all the generals and ministers on this piece of Chinese land now, flashing with their own brilliance.

Confucius has clouds, and he seeks the wilderness when he loses his courtesy. Lao Liu's family, the centralized power has lost the "etiquette", that is, the rules, so the "wild" around nature has appeared.

However, now, the people in the central land of China, the Chinese people in Guanzhong, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou and other regions, these amazing and gorgeous people, do you know what they are facing?

The answer is, they don't know.

The old Liu family seems to have been corrupted, and they once stood at the top of China and shouted that they were strong men, although the people who would be punished far away had turned into ashes, but they didn't know who would lead the new road.

The road under their feet seems to have come to an end, and the Han Dynasty, which once ruled the East Asian world, now seems to have become a stumbling block to their progress, they resent, chop down this stone, and bury it, but they also hope to create glory again, they know that the old system is dead, but they try to continue to imitate and continue on various occasions.

What they can learn from, in addition to the Great Han, is the Western Zhou Dynasty.

So in the end, Senior Brother Cao finally hinted again and again, and confirmed again and again, who am I, am I King Wen of Zhou, well, I should be King Wen of Zhou, I must be King Wen of Zhou......

Fei Qian shook his head and smiled helplessly.

The sound of small footsteps sounded softly, Huang Yueying walked over with a big drum, first bent her knees slightly and bowed halfway, then went around behind Fei Qian, draped the big dan on Fei Qianshan, and then turned to the front, tied it for Fei Qian, then raised her head and said, "Lang Jun, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Fei Qian was silent for a while, and then said, "Well, there are some ......."

Huang Yueying tilted her head, her big eyes reflecting the brilliance of the stars in the sky, revealing a bit of curiosity.

"This ......" Fei Qian thought for a moment, and then said, "Yueying, do you know about the monopoly of salt and iron?" ”

Huang Yueying nodded and said, "I know, my father has said it." ”

"Oh," Fei Qian asked, "So, how do you say that?" ”

Huang Yueying tilted her head slightly, imitating Huang Chengyan's tone and said: "Well, this matter is to compete with the people for profit, not good governance, so it must not be done......"

Fei Qian smiled, then nodded, and shook his head again.

"What? Isn't that right? Huang Yueying asked.

"Hehe," Fei Qian didn't give a direct answer, but seemed to talk about another unrelated topic, "...... Then do you know why the rent of farming land is classified as Daisinong, and the mountains and rivers are classified as Shaofu? ”

Dasi Nong is the national government administrative expenses, while Shaofu is mainly for the expenses and use of the royal family.

Huang Yueying blinked her eyes wide and said, "Isn't this always the case? I don't know why......"

Fei Qian smiled, took a few steps forward, and sat down at the front of the hall casually.

Seeing this, Huang Yueying didn't say seriously that this behavior was not like a marquis, but hurriedly asked someone to get a mat.

Fei Qian didn't refuse, so he took it, put it himself, took another one and put it beside him, and motioned for Huang Yueying to sit down together before saying, "...... The fields of the world are all kings' fields, and within the four seals, it is not the king's land...... You know that, right? ”

Huang Yueying nodded.

"In ancient times, the fields were sealed off and became well fields, but the non-field land, that is, the mountains, rivers and ponds, was not a field and could not be cultivated, so it was still the king's land, and it was forbidden to break into the logging, and even set up the post of Yu Ren, which was specially used to take care of the ...... However, these mountains and rivers and ponds are to burn charcoal and cut wood, fish and hunt animals, this kind of behavior is called 'profiteering', and the Yu people can levy it, but in the end, it is impossible to prevent it, and it is impossible to ask for it, so in the end, they let go of the mountains and rivers and ponds, and only set up levies at the places where they enter and exit the passes, and collect these taxes full-time......"

“…… Then, the Qin and Han dynasties followed the convention, the fields belonged to the private ownership of the farmers, and the mountains and rivers were still owned by the royal family, so the fields and others belonged to Dasi Nong, and the mountains and rivers belonged to the Shaofu......" Fei Qian turned his head to look at Huang Yueying and continued, "...... And the genus of salt and iron all come from the mountains and rivers...... So, this salt and iron, do you say that it is competing with the people for profit, or the people are competing for profit? ”

"Huh?" Huang Yueying was a little dizzy, "...... To put it this way...... It seems to be ......"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty engaged in salt and iron, not for self-enrichment.

At that time, the crusade against the Xiongnu was huge, not only the money of Dasi Nong was spent, but even the savings of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and his grandfather were also spent. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could extend his hand to the vast number of peasant households and even increase the land endowment, but in the end he still did not do so.

Tian Fu is still one out of thirty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first ordered the allocation of money from the Shaofu to supplement the military expenditure, and then ordered the local wealthy people, such as the merchants who dealt in salt and iron, to donate freely......

Of course, everyone understands what the result will be.

Merchants with a lot of wealth usually seem to have grease on their lips, and they shout and shout bright slogans, but when they really want to take out money to support the Han Dynasty's war against the Xiongnu, they retreat one by one.

So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, and felt that he had taken out all the money of Shaofu, and these salt and iron merchants not only used the mountains and resources belonging to their Shaofu, but also refused to pay, so they ordered to take back all the non-arable land in the country and adopt the official system, that is, the monopoly of salt and iron.

Huang Yueying suddenly asked, "...... What does Lang Jun mean is that he is going to do a salt and iron monopoly? ”

Fei Qian smiled and said, "Not exactly...... Hehe, I'm going to make a Pingyang monopoly ...... "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty engaged in salt and iron, because he didn't have too many better options besides salt and iron at that time, well, in fact, there is also another one, that is, wine monopoly, but wine is not a necessity after all, and for Fei Qian, there are other better options at the moment."

Businessmen are born to chase profits, so once there are enough interests, it is difficult to ensure that they are unshaken, and the most important thing is that under the current political system, the management of businessmen is far from being as convenient as farmers.

In order to ensure the safe and stable development of its own region, Feiqian could not give the same social status as the merchants as in later generations, so he could only adopt the strategy of raising pigs, killing whoever was fat, and then seizing several important materials for monopoly......

But what kind of products are used?

Fei Qian looked at Huang Yueying, maybe he could pick a few interesting things out of Huang Yueying's room of treasures?

………………………………

Cool moonlit nights.

The jade hook of the small building is hung obliquely.

The heartbroken man, well, wrong, pretty woman, well, also wrong, it should be the Kansai Han at the end of the world......

Although Jia Xu's figure is not as strong as Xu Shu, he is not a weak scribe, but his face is relatively thin and long, so it does not look very obvious in ordinary times, after all, Jia Xu was born in Xiliang, and he grew up in Xiliang, and he eats more beef and mutton, so naturally there is a little difference between him and some scribes in Han China.

Today's words in the council hall touched Jia Xu greatly.

Strictly speaking, only in the Qin and Han dynasties did there be a truly unified government, and before the pre-Qin period, it was only a feudal unity, or a nominal unity.

The Qin Dynasty was too short, and by the Han Dynasty it had established a more decent government system, the county system lasted for hundreds of years, and now it has passed the stage of "turning the family into a country", most of the old nobles before the pre-Qin Dynasty have fallen, and the new nobles have stood up, and in the process, some traditions have been broken, and some new rules are being established......

In the beginning, these things were all upward and good.

It's like paying taxes.

At the beginning of the taxation, it was only to support the country's finances, so that the officials of the state had something to eat, and the soldiers who guarded the country had clothes and armor to use.

But after that, the taste slowly changed......

Jia Xu paced back and forth in the small courtyard, although it was already late at night, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, the scenes of the day flashed in front of him, he didn't expect Fei Qian to be so young, but he could think of so many things about the governance of the entire Han Dynasty.

The taxation system involves a lot of things, and the relationship is very wide-ranging. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Mencius once said that tithing and taxation are the government of kings. It can be seen that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the tax rate for farmers was far from being a tithe, and in the Han Dynasty, the well field system in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period had been abandoned, and the cultivator had his land has become the consensus of the vast majority of the people.

Although Jia Xu has some practical and personal feelings, and also perceives how much of a role Fei Qian will play in the Hu people's tax system in Yonghe and the two states, or an attraction, he does not have a very systematic understanding of the land tax economy from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty.

I just vaguely feel that the tax policy proposed by Fei Qian may be a very huge change for the whole world......

But to what extent will it change and what impact it will have in the future, Jia Xu has been deducing for several hours from the day to now, but he can still only glimpse it, and he can't perceive the whole picture.

Jia Xu thinks that the things of this world are all in the palm of his hand, if he is puzzled, he can understand it by looking down, but now he is facing this problem, hazy as if falling into a thick fog, vaguely visible something, but he can't see it all, this feeling beyond his control makes Jia Xu feel uncomfortable.

Maybe......

It seems that it is time to write a letter, and it must be such an interesting thing, and you should always find someone to share it, otherwise it will be suffocated.

Jia Xu silently looked up at the west, and the starlight in the night sky hung like a ribbon in the black velvet sky.

Beautiful, and dreamy.
