Chengdu, Xiangfu.

Zhuge Liang's coarse gray robe, because of Ma Liang's death, tied a linen belt around his waist, instead of the usual white jade brocade belt.

Not only did Ma Liang commit suicide tragically, but Wang Lian, the great Si Nong, did not bear the cold climate of the Dongjiang Capital, and the Zhang descendants who went to replace Wang Lian were not younger than Wang Lian, and the descendants of Zhang Liang, the marquis, fell ill in Jiangdu before taking office.

Bad news continues to come to Chengdu, and there is also a piece of good and bad news.

It was Guan Yu's official document discussing whether next year's tax rent was to collect new money and old money, and the Jiangdu court was arguing endlessly over this...... If Tian Xin didn't intervene, there was a high probability that he would collect new money by default.

Tian Xin intends to maintain the stability of the people's recuperation, and does not want the people to be devastated by the storm of new currency.

Haoqiang can't withstand this storm, let alone ordinary people who only have a little savings.

The imperial court and the generals collected new coins by default, increasing the exploitation of people's manpower and material resources...... It can also be regarded as a tradition of the Han Dynasty, in order to strengthen the material reserves of the center and work hard to build a strong center.

Naturally, Tian Xin favored the proposal of a respite from the rest and recovery of people's livelihood...... Naturally, it was a move of loving the people and won the hearts of many people, but it was not conducive to the immediate strength of the imperial court, and it would only delay the speed of the imperial court's recovery.

The reason why this is not bad news...... Because the Prime Minister's Office has a similar proposal.

In order to slow down the time of Tianxia Prefecture and County for one year, Yizhou will be given an additional five years to make up for the loss of Yizhou Haoqiang...... Make up for it, and the split has to be unpacked.

Tian Xin moved to Nanyang in his early years to enrich the Jiangdu Yin ...... This trick, which follows the ancestral system, is also applicable to Yizhou.

forcibly relocated Haoqiang's descendants to Jiangdu, and the branches and lineages of Haoqiang's family naturally would not follow their lineage to a place where they were unfamiliar with their lives to open up wasteland.

As long as the propaganda is in place, supplemented by the suppression of the army, it is enough to disintegrate Yizhou Haoqiang in a flash.

The benefits of this are many, and it can increase the number of tax-paying service households by about 500,000 households; If you don't have 500,000, you can have 400,000 households.

The shortcomings are also obvious, when he made a move to Yizhou Haoqiang, it was the weakest thing in Yizhou.

If Tian Xin pinched this critical point in time and sent troops to Yizhou...... At that time, Haoqiang will have internal strife, and there will be invasion of Beifu outside, and the Ba people will also follow suit.

Since Liu Yan's father and son repeatedly quelled the Haoqiang turmoil, there has been a feeling of war weariness and fear of war in Yizhou.

It was precisely because of the fear of war that he strongly supported Ji Han to fight and burn the war outside Yizhou.

Therefore, when Yizhou is preparing to make a move against Haoqiang, if Beifu turns its face, then there is a possibility that the entire Yizhou will collapse instantly.

This is the human heart, and the human heart is determined.

The people of Yizhou are determined, and the people of the world are determined; During the throes of reform, Yizhou faced the sudden action of Beifu, and the people decided to give up resistance and means of war.

In the same way, how the imperial court obtained the land of Yanzhao in Hebei with lightning speed; Then people are determined that the people there will also hate war, at least they will not support Tian Xin to start a war.

People's minds must be the general trend, and whoever dares to stop this general trend will definitely be crushed.

Whether or not the Han family can survive cannot gamble on Tian Xin's conscience and credibility.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang wrote a reply letter to Guan Yu, mainly discussing two things.

The first is the order of delivery of Nanyang, and Nanyang and Hanzhong cannot be taken separately; According to the current agreement between the Beifu and the imperial court, it should be that after he cedes Hanzhong, Hanxing, and Wudu, the Beifu will hand over Nanyang to the imperial court.

This means that for a certain period of time, Beifu held Nanyang and Hanzhong at the same time, and Yizhou was about to carry out the work of dismantling Haoqiang...... It's deadly.

Therefore, it is necessary to change the order of delivery of Nanyang, and first complete the work of the collapse of Haoqiang by Yizhou, which will take about a year from now on to straighten out the place and restore the order of production.

That is, next winter, Yizhou will be able to complete the general key work, and there will be a new tax and rent collection system, which can continue to maintain the military war. Once the critical work is done, the rest of the time can be calmly cleaned up.

Therefore, Hanzhong, Hanxing, and Wudu can be handed over to Beifu next winter; In order to increase the persuasiveness, Zhuge Liang also added the very small and very small Yinping County to the bargaining chips.

Beifu got the four counties of Hanzhong; Nanyang will be handed over to the imperial court after the autumn harvest of the following year.

When the imperial court gets the Nanyang region, it will be completely connected with the four states of Kanto, and it will have the fighter plane to recover Luoyang.

At the same time, as compensation for the imperial court to get Nanyang, Beifu will take Liangzhou.

It was a simple and delicate round of displacement, the only way to avoid civil war at the moment.

Since he decided to solve the problem of Yizhou's strong and strong that has accumulated so far, Zhuge Liang will naturally not be polite, and the only thing to worry about is Beifu; Without Beifu, he would have done it a long time ago.

The second is the overall taxation situation, there are currently two kinds of taxation, one is according to the household survey, that is, cloth, silk, twine and the like.

Due to Tian Xin's promotion of textile machines, the reserves of folk cloth are becoming more and more abundant, which means that the 'relative value' of cloth has decreased, and cloth can be used as military pay and food in exchange for food; Now it can be, but it is devalued.

Naturally, the cloth collected from households could meet the clothing needs of officials and sergeants, and goods could also be traded from the people...... But if it is depreciated, it is equivalent to a decrease in the income of the imperial court, and it will definitely not work if it goes on like this.

Therefore, on the basis of the household survey, the oral tax in the nature of poll tax was restored; There is also the money for the school-age Ding Zhuang who does not serve in the military and conscription.

Coupled with the commercial taxes and customs duties that have always been collected, the finances of the Han Dynasty have transitioned from the wartime cloth to the current money and cloth.

Therefore, Tian Xin kindly proposed to use the old money for another three years...... It will definitely lead to a decline in the financial revenue of the imperial court.

The three years proposed by Tian Xin is too long, and the one year he proposed is also a little shorter, which can be compromised into two years.

Give the county a two-year grace period, after which it will ...... That is, the autumn and winter of the following year will levy new money.

Isn't it two years from this year to the year after?

Then here in Yizhou, it was shortened to five years, and the old money was continued to be collected for five years, and the soldiers were allowed to use the old money to pay oral taxes and depreciation money.

Because the depreciation of the old money has become an established fact, the people of Yizhou will generally use the old money to pay the depreciation money, so as to exempt the military service and conscription in these years.

These people do not go to military service or conscription, so they naturally have other things to do; Whether it is to run your own industry finely or go out to do business, it is beneficial; The disadvantage is that many state-level projects lack manpower and cannot guarantee progress.

However, it also has the advantage that after collecting a large amount of old money from forced labor, it can be melted into new money on the spot, accelerating the circulation of new money in the Yizhou area and laying the foundation for economic recovery.

This crucial letter, Zhuge Liang was afraid of an accident on the way.

Just approaching the end of the year, the prefectures and counties should send people to the DPRK to make calculations, calculate this year's fiscal revenue and expenditure, and then make a budget plan for next year's finances.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang handed over this important official letter to Li Shao, the chief historian, and Li Shao personally brought it to Jiangdu, so as not to be left behind, causing panic in Yizhou and causing an unexpected and unnecessary rebellion.
