Since Zhao Zhi ascended the throne for more than 20 years, after hard work, and a series of reforms, the strength of the Jin Dynasty has been greatly restored, so to speak, the first fifteen years of Zhao Zhi's reign, is to save money, frugal internally, forbearance externally, internal political stability, external is rarely war, Zhao Zhi did this, achieved very good results, the strength and strength of the central forbidden army has been gradually restored, and the financial aspect is also very abundant.

However, there are two sides to everything, and although this practice of the imperial court has enriched the central government, it has aggravated the financial difficulties of the local government to a large extent, and the local government has no money to hand over, what should I do? It can only increase taxes on the common people.

After Zhao Zhi ascended the throne, the Jin Dynasty has been crumbling, reforming taxes, collecting the central government, is also a last resort, to the twelfth year of Guangyuan, after more than ten years of development, and the world's wealth gathered, the entire Guannei including Fengjing, the foundation of the Jin Dynasty, has been greatly restored, at this time, Yang Daosi and Liu Wei jointly published a chapter of the book, the local and central tax policy, reform, in fact, is to greatly reduce the proportion of money and grain handed over by local governments to the central government, and eliminate many unnecessary taxes, In order to reduce the burden and pressure of the people.

Yang Daosi and Liu Wei's suggestion was agreed by Zhao Zhi, if the tax is really greatly reduced, the tax burden of the people in the world will be greatly reduced, and the people will be at ease, and the implementation of this policy will be beneficial to the people, and the world should get a long period of stability.

But the bad thing is that the Jin Dynasty turned the crisis into peace, the national strength gradually rose, the national form was good, as the Son of Heaven Zhao Zhi, his mind has changed, at that time, the vast majority of the Jin Dynasty's military strength and financial and material resources were concentrated in Anbei and Longyou, used to deal with foreign tribes, and internally, the major feudal towns, Zhao Zhiyin endured for so many years, suffered so many years of grievances, and should also be angry, prove himself, he wants to expand the strength of the forbidden army, which requires money, comprehensively reduce taxes, and the central finance has been greatly reduced, What did Zhao Zhi do to expand the Central Forbidden Army?

Therefore, although Zhao Zhi agreed to the reform plan of Yang Daosi and Liu Ji at that time, it was not all changed at once, but in three steps, that is, the world was divided into three parts, Jiangnan was a part, Jiannan, Shannan, etc. were a part, and Hedong and Henan were a part.

Who changed first, who should be, caused a great political turmoil at the time, in the end, Yang Daosi won, the Jiangnan region represented by him, the first to change, from the thirteenth year of Guangyuan, greatly reduced taxes, Jiannan and Shannan and other places from the second year, that is, the fourteenth year of Guangyuan began to synchronize taxes in the Jiangnan region.

Originally, it was nothing a few years later, but from the tenth year of Guangyuan to the twelfth year of Guangyuan, the Hedong region of Henan Province has been drought for three consecutive years, and the situation has been very bad, and in the fourteenth year of Guangyuan, the situation has not been improved, natural disasters are part of it, and there is a big reason for it, Zhao Zhi in order to expand the army, the strength of disaster relief, is naturally quite limited, plus seeing the tax in other regions have been greatly reduced, and he is still suffering from countless persecutions, as well as the provocation of people with intentions, the time has reached the fifteenth year of Guangyuan, On the eve of the tax reform, the White Turban Army rebellion finally broke out in Henan Province, and its scale expanded rapidly, Zhao Zhi thought he was very strong, but now he found that he could not control the overall situation at all, and finally had to rely on the local feudal towns to suppress the White Turban Army rebellion.

And later the Battle of Jiangnan, the first Battle of Longyou, the support of the Mo Nanhu people, the Jin Dynasty achieved a series of brilliant military victories, but what about behind it? Since Zhao Zhi reigned for more than 20 years, the national and material resources that the Jin Dynasty had painstakingly accumulated had been exhausted.

In Huang's mind, four words suddenly flashed, turning from prosperity to decline.

The Jin Dynasty has reached the present, with more than 500,000 troops under direct control, and the major feudal towns in the world are all respected, which looks very powerful on the surface, but in fact it is already a strong foreign force, and the beginning of its transformation should be from Liu Ji's Zhishi and Yang Daosi's death, after them, the political situation in the court began to change, although there were factions before, although there were fights, but there were Yang Daosi and Liu Ji two people pressing, everyone knows that the overall situation is important, now? Who cares about those, the chaos of the political situation will definitely lead to a decline in the overall strength, and the national strength of the Jin Dynasty will gradually decline, and now Zhao Zhi, the prestige of the old emperor, is still in power, and it is not too obvious, and the situation will not get out of control, but what about after Zhao Zhi? Who can play the big game of chess in the world?

The reason why Li Zhong would rather ignore the seven states in the western part of Longyou and disintegrate Tubo from the inside should be to plan for the future, because only when there is a qualitative change in Tubo itself, can the Hu people be prevented from making a move, and can they also hit the power of Tubo to the greatest extent, so that in the next few decades, Tubo will not pose a threat to the Jin Dynasty, and no matter how strong the Hu people are in the future, the Jin Dynasty only needs to face one enemy of the Hu people.

Huang figured this out, looked up at Li Zhong, with a look of admiration in his eyes that he couldn't hide, and arched his hand and said, "Dashuai, what do you want to do?" ”

"Wait."

Li Zhong glanced at Huang deeply, and then a very late-night smile appeared on his face: "If Gewa doesn't go far, how can others have a chance?" ”

At the same time, sixty miles away from Wu'an City, an army of more than 10,000 people was advancing rapidly.

The things that Huang thought of were just in his heart and didn't say it, but there was one person who also thought of these things and said it, and this person was Sima Tu.

Wang Renzizi ordered a retreat, not a swarm, but by him to lead the main force, covering the people to retreat to Wuzhou, Li Zhong led the headquarters of 10,000 soldiers and horses, and fought and retreated, as a block, covering the main force retreat, for this order, most of Li Xun's subordinates were dissatisfied, but Li Xun finally chose to obey, at this time, if everyone is infighting, it can only be a dead end.

And fight and retreat, it has been five days, Wang Renzizi sent people to Huizhou several times to ask for help, but there is no news, Li Zhong led the 60,000 army, eat and eat without any action, an hour ago, Li Xiao rushed back, said, Li Zhong will not send troops, everything depends on himself.

Li Xun couldn't figure it out, why didn't Li Zhong send troops and didn't save him when he saw death? He told Sima Tu about this doubt, and the latter said roughly the same words as Huang Sosi thought.

After listening to Sima Tu's in-depth speculation, Li Xun was very shocked, and after a while, he stretched out his thumb and exclaimed: "I always thought that only Fan Zhongyun was good at grand strategy and long-term vision, but I didn't expect you to have this ability." ”

Sima Tu smiled bitterly, and said a little embarrassedly: "Lord, I don't have this ability, and I don't have such a long-term vision, what I just said was what Mr. Fan said when he chatted with me before he left. ”
