Chapter 162: Lantai Reads
At that time, Liu Tao agreed with Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang that he would give up the remuneration for escorting them back to Zhongshan County and needed their help to do something. That is to rely on two caravans to publicize that he was smart when he was young, unruly in his youth, a prodigal son, and benevolent, filial piety and loyalty.
For six years, Liu Tao was stubborn and disobedient, and even brought some turmoil to Zhuoxian County. This is the predecessor of the pot, the problem Liu Tao crossed over, this pot has to be carried if you don't carry it.
The teenager is smart, this is the evaluation that I had when I was young. Of course, the follow-up can't be called stubborn, but it should be called juvenile unruly, with so much military exploits, stubbornness should be replaced by unruly.
The prodigal son's return began with the formation of a vigilante group, or even last year. After all, since last year, he has been in front of people, maintaining the image of a 'filial son' to the greatest extent.
Needless to say, benevolence, filial piety and loyalty, the national crisis is at the head, as a clan member to fight against thieves, it is not only loyalty, but also the greatest embodiment of benevolence and filial piety.
For the Zhang family and the Su family, it is not difficult to promote it a little with the caravan. Here in Zhuo County, Zhang Fei's family is also helping to publicize, and it is estimated that Changshan Zhang's will be added in the follow-up, and Zhongshan Zhen's will help together.
In this way, in Jizhou, and even in Youzhou, his image can be quickly improved. Even the slightest bad remark will be covered by a tidal wave of positive reviews.
The biggest difference between him and other officials is that he has not yet demonstrated filial piety. It doesn't matter if Liu Hong directly ordered the canonization, but in the end, there is still some unjustifiable meaning.
After he did this, coupled with the 'benefits' given to the county order of Zhuoxian County in advance, when the imperial court sent someone to investigate, he naturally didn't mind giving a favor and reporting Liu Tao.
Now that he has successfully raised filial piety, he has finally put together the last piece of the puzzle. With this, he, the general in the feather forest, can be regarded as a red-headed seedling.
"I will hand over the Yulin Army to you, don't let me down." Liu Tao came out of the ranks, and Liu Hong had to admonish.
"The ministers must be loyal to their duties and not let His Majesty down." Liu Tao replied sincerely, confirming that there was no problem before retreating.
The follow-up is nothing more than a supplement to the five schools of the Northern Army, and at the same time there are pensions, which are rebuilt after the war. These have nothing to do with Liu Tao, so I should just have fun and learn about the current situation of Dahan by the way.
After listening to it for about half an hour, the biggest feeling is - no money, really no money, really poor!
Originally, there was a monopoly on salt and iron, but during the period of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, the ban was lifted and private was allowed. It is not clear whether the wealth is hidden from the people, but it is only known that there has been a sharp decline in fiscal revenue. The key is that there are rebellions everywhere, and after the war, it is natural that they will have to be rebuilt, and local taxes will not be collected......
The treasury had reached the point where it was impossible to pay the money, and Situ even pleaded with the emperor to use the internal funds.
This picture is so familiar...... Liu Tao actually wants to complain, and it is also this virtue that the end of the Ming Dynasty is good.
The civil officials complained everywhere that the treasury had no money, and then hoped that the emperor would be able to give out the inner money, always thinking that there was much in the inner treasury, but they did not find Chongzhen's dragon robe, and they were all patched...... The emperor couldn't come up with the money, and he had to say behind his back, 'Your Majesty has ignored the world'.
The problem Liu Hong must be rich, in 178 he began to sell officials in Xiyuan, and an official of 2,000 stone had to pay 20 million yuan, or 20,000 yuan. From the time he started selling officials six years ago to the present, there should be a lot of money, and it is estimated that he is really rich.
It's just that Liu Tao really wants to complain, the treasury is empty, and the officials don't want to open up sources and reduce expenditure, but instead put their ideas on the internal fund, can they be lazy?
No matter how poor you are, you have to blame the local officials for being eunuchs, and all kinds of wanton levies and extortions have caused the people to have a poor livelihood and cannot collect taxes...... Is it to blame by the way, the emperor has no way and favors the eunuchs, so that the people are not able to make a living, and all industries are depressed......
Liu Tao said that he really doesn't like the mixed system, and getting along with this group of teammates is congested and tired.
"In terms of bereavement benefits, I will pay half of the money, and the other half will be paid after the taxes are collected." Perhaps the war, which was originally fought at the end of the year, was fought more than three months ahead of schedule, and Liu Hong had plenty of money, so he was a little more generous.
"Obey the order......" Situ Yuan Kui was silent, and there was no emotional fluctuation in his tone.
Are all old foxes like this? Liu Tao actually didn't have a good impression of Yuan Valve, after all, knowing the future, his position as a clan relative of the Han family decided that he would not have much good impression of Yuan Valve......
However, this kind of skill, he needs to learn it well, after all, he has to mix in the court for the past two years. But then again, does Yubayashi Zhonglang need to go to court for this official position?
After that, Yuan Kui played, saying that Yuzhou, Yanzhou and Jizhou encountered banditry, the local people were displaced, and this year's cultivation was also delayed, hoping to be exempted from this year's taxes.
Liu Hong was born in Qinghe County, Jizhou, and was exempted from taxes in Yuzhou and Yanzhou for one year and Jizhou for two years......
The court meeting was also declared over, and Liu Hong got up with tiredness, and then began to leave the main hall under the escort of Lang Guan. It wasn't until Liu Hong left completely that the atmosphere in the entire hall relaxed.
The officials got up one after another, and they had to move their numb legs. Liu Tao felt that he was in the prime of life, but after sitting for more than an hour, his legs actually began to go numb.
"How did you feel when you went to court for the first time?" Not long after, Lu Zhi came to him.
"The only feeling is that my legs are so numb." Liu Tao replied with an aggrieved look.
"Since you have been named the general of the feather forest, it means that you need to participate in the great court meeting every five days. Your hard life has just begun. Lu Zhi shook his head, "In terms of books, I have already ordered the scholar to copy a batch and send it to you later." ”
"Disciple, thank you." Liu Tao didn't want to read the book, but the book given by Lu Zhixiang had to be read even if he cried.
"It's not just my books here......" Lu Zhi seemed to remember something, "If you have time, remember to go to Lantai and read more books." ”
As soon as Lu Zhi said that, he remembered that Liu Hong's reward seemed to have the strange reward of 'entering Lantai to read books for three days'. Seriously, he really doesn't know much about Lantai.
"Lantai is the largest library in the Han Dynasty, with various classics and strategies for the art of war. You don't have to read the Confucian scriptures, but since you want to join the army, then the art of war is strategic, read more and remember more. Lu Zhi reminded.
According to the Han law, the art of war cannot be passed on or sold, otherwise it is a crime. In the family of the family, there may be some remaining, but it is limited to the clansmen to read it, and it is generally not borrowed.
If you want to see the art of war, you can either be in the army and learn it from the general. Either make a war exploit, and then go to Lantai to read a book. You can only watch, you can't take it away, the key is to limit the time, and how much you can see depends on your ability.
It's usually a few hours, and if you watch it for a day in a row, you'll be lucky enough to watch a lot of content. Looking at it for three days in a row is already a great reward.
For many poor families, or ordinary soldiers, read books here, memorize them at home, and then sort them out and leave them to the next generation. The next generation of adults in the army has seen the art of war and strategy early, so they have risen rapidly in the army, and they may be able to make military achievements faster.
In this way, after three generations, the art of war in the family is complete, coupled with the martial arts that have been summarized and perfected from generation to generation, the gate is naturally formed.
Reading changes fate, and in this era, it's no joke......
