"The solution is for people to figure it out!" Cao Liang's gaze was resolute.

Now the piece of Tuntian can't be counted on, but Cao Liang doesn't believe that the land of Yongliang is so big, can't he take out 500,000 pieces of grain and grass?

This morning, Cao Liang deliberately went to the market to learn about the price level of Chang'an City, according to the price of rice and other things, Cao Liang has a preliminary understanding of the situation in Chang'an City.

At present, the price of rice is maintained at the level of 70 or 80 yuan a stone, which is not the lowest, but it is definitely not the highest, and the price of rice may soar to 10,000 yuan a stone or even higher in the years of war.

In history, the price of rice in Chang'an City was sold for up to 500,000 yuan a stone, and such a terrifying price was probably no one for ordinary people, starving everywhere, and people competing to eat each other, which is a true portrayal of that time.

Now the price of rice in Chang'an City is stable, at least it proves that there is no serious shortage of grain in the Guanzhong area, it is true that most of the tuntian has been destroyed now, but the total grain production has not decreased too much, because except for the tuntian such as Qianbeitun, which is temporarily barren, the other tuntian has fallen into the hands of the powerful family and turned into private land.

According to common sense, these private fields also have to pay taxes, and according to the lowest tax rate of 30 taxes, the total tax amount in the entire Yongliang area is far more than 500,000 Hu.

In fact, the tax rate of the imperial court is not only thirty taxes and one, but all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes add up, ten taxes and one is about the same, and may even be higher.

But when Xiahou Xuan wanted to raise grain and grass, he found that the grain depot was empty, so where did the taxes collected by the government go? Cao Liang doesn't believe that Guo Huai's appetite is so big, one person can swallow so much food, although the anti-corruption efforts in this era are not so great, but Cao Liang believes that Guo Huai, as a close confidant of Cao Shuang's political opponent Sima Yi, is definitely a man with his tail between his legs under the current general trend of Cao Shuang's power, once he is caught in the sore spot, he will not want to turn over again in this life.

Cao Liang took a look at his thoughts, and now it is not meaningful to explore the encroachment of Tuntian, even if the facts of some family encroachment are traced, it will not solve the urgent need, and the top priority is to find a way to trace the whereabouts of the tax, which is the best opportunity to raise grain and grass in the shortest possible time.

After making up his mind, Cao Liang bid farewell to Zhang Laohan and returned to the city with Yanghu Du.

Xiahou Xuan just woke up from a hangover, he only felt a splitting headache, he drank happily last night, but now he is so uncomfortable, Xiahou Xuan is a little remorseful, he really shouldn't drink so much wine.

He was about to instruct his subordinates to find a healer to take some medicine to sober up and cure headaches, when Cao Liang came in from outside and went straight to Xiahou Xuan's hall.

Xiahou Xuan glanced at it, Cao Liang was a servant, and even the soles of his shoes were covered with mud, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Ziming, where did you come from?" ”

Cao Liang said: "I went to the outskirts of Chang'an for a walk. ”

Xiahou Xuanqi said: "It's freezing this day, and there is no scenery to see outside the city?" By the way, what are you going to do about the grain and grass, it is not far from the time when the general will go on the expedition, and there is no delay. ”

Cao Liang smiled slightly, it seems that Xiahou Xuan regarded his departure from the city as a tour of the mountains and rivers, but Cao Liang did not make any explanation, and said: "The matter of grain and grass is a bit eyebrow-raising, but I need the detailed accounts of the taxes collected in the counties of Yongzhou over the years, can Brother Tai Chu have a way?" ”

Xiahou Xuan laughed and said: "This is a trivial matter, I will talk to Guo Tingshi when I go back, and hand over the tax accounts to you." But are you really sure you'll find what you're looking for in these accounts? ”

Xiahou Xuan is the governor of Yongliang, and his position is above Guo Huai, if he really wants to check the accounts, Guo Huai will definitely not be able to refuse.

Cao Liang said confidently: "This is probably the most likely way to get grain and grass at present." ”

Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, Xiahou Xuan naturally believes in Cao Liang very much, Cao Liang is ready to check the tax accounts, and Xiahou Xuan immediately expressed his support.

When Xiahou Xuan proposed to Guo Huai to check the tax accounts of the counties in Yongzhou over the years, Guo Huai agreed without thinking about it, and ordered the Chinese military officers to immediately move all the tax accounts to the governor's mansion.

These accounts were piled up like a mountain, and it took several baggage trucks to carry them.

When the Yongzhou lord Bo heard that Xiahou Xuan was going to check the accounts, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he exclaimed: "Guo Tingshi, how should this be?" ”

Guo Huai treated it indifferently and said: "These accounts are like a mountain, if you want to find out one of them, how can you do it in a few months, now Cao Shuang is about to go on an expedition, and he urgently needs to raise food and grass, Xiahou Xuan is in a hurry to go to the doctor, and he wants to find clues from these cases, he is simply a fool." ”

So Guo Huai confidently and boldly submitted the accounts, in fact, these accounts have been roughly flattened, and if you really want to check, at most you will find some small flaws, which is harmless at all.

What's more, these small flaws can only be found after careful comparison, and finding useful information from the piles of files like a hill, Guo Huai can't find it himself, let alone outsiders.

I don't know if that idiot gave Xiahou Xuan such a bad idea, he actually wanted to make a fuss about it, it was a big joke, but fortunately, many loopholes had already been filled by themselves, so let them check slowly, and I don't know what kind of expression they will have when Cao Shuang comes to Chang'an.

Guo Huai instructed his subordinates to load the car, while showing a disdainful smile, grain and grass is the lifeblood of the army, if the grain and grass cannot be raised within the scheduled time, Cao Shuang's desire to go on the expedition will inevitably become a laughing stock.

Now in the Luoyang court, Cao Shuang has been on the same page as Sima Yi, and Cao Shuang's family is in power, which means that he and Sima Yi are losing power, if Sima Yi can't gain a foothold in the court, it will definitely affect Guo Huai's status in Yongzhou.

Guo Huai has been in the army for decades, and finally climbed to the position of Yongzhou Thorn History, and the reason why he took refuge in Sima Yi is because Sima Yi can help him go further.

And now, Cao Shuang is gaining power in the court, squeezing out Sima Yi everywhere, this is the last thing Guo Huai wants to see, if Cao Shuang returns from this expedition, it will definitely seriously affect Sima Yi's status, Guo Huai helped Sima Yi this time, in fact, to help himself.

He and Sima Yi are two grasshoppers tied to a rope, no one can run, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, this result is doomed a long time ago.

PS: A little late, sorry.
