Chapter 926: Dividing the Cake

After two years, a family of four who separated the three places finally got together, which is really gratifying, and Heifu rarely put down his official duties and reunited with his wife and son in his original courtyard.

Zijin hugged Po Yu and wept, sorry for resolutely letting him go to the Northland.

And he is already 10 years old, and his skin was rough by the wind in Biansai, and he even shaved his head in order to hide his identity, and he has not yet grown enough hair, and he is a little embarrassed to have enough hair, and the beef and mutton in Saibei is indeed raising people, he is a lot taller than two years ago, and he is almost to Ye Zijin's shoulders.

The boy broke free from his mother's arms and sat down beside Hefu, with adoration in his eyes and every turn to show that he was an "adult", boasting to his father that he could now shoot a half-stone bow and drink.

"Who taught you?" Ye Zijin wiped away her tears, a little surprised, her son had become something she didn't know very well.

"Is it Sang Mu, or Zhang Cang?"

"It's bitter cold." Heifudai's eldest son replied that he had stayed in Helan Mountain and knew the wind and frost there.

"Saibei Hu'er, you have to drink a faint mare's milk wine at the age of eight, otherwise you won't be able to survive the harsh winter weather."

Heifu didn't think it was anything, but he was a little ashamed, he was not a good father, and he only hoped that he would sweep the world in the future and be able to teach his second son to grow up in person.

Fubo, who is only 6 years old, seems to be much more literate, and in front of Heifu, he carries the newly learned Jiaodong's "Twenty-four Solar Terms" with a milky voice.

The family is happy, the husband and wife are newlywed, tossing all night needless to say, as soon as Heifu woke up the next day, he smelled the fragrance of steamed cakes, but it was Ye who cooked it himself.

This is the food that Heifu likes very much when he was in the Northland, the best wheat noodles, steamed with dried dates and a little brown sugar, the cake meat is crispy, sweet but not greasy, and Heifu's favorite way is to serve it in a whole piece and divide it with a blade.

"Ruling the world is actually similar to making bread."

Heifu cut it and showed off to the person next to him.

"Make the bread bigger, make it sweeter, and share it with more people to eat ......"

"It's not easy." Ye Zijin wiped off the small crumbs from the corners of her mouth for her husband and put them directly into her lips.

"Ordinary people are often rich for no more than three generations, and those who have a family and a country often make the cake smaller and smaller."

The Zhou Dynasty is a typical example, the Duke of Zhou divided his relatives to the borderland, so that hundreds of miles of Zhou, hundreds of thousands of Zhou people were rich in the world, but the descendants did not understand the essence of the Duke of Zhou, resulting in a big tail, and finally even Wang Ji was divided by relatives, and the King of Zhou had to borrow to live......

Heifu bowed: "It's really not easy, looking at the past and present, the ones who can make the cake bigger are just a few people like Zhou Gong, Guan Zhong, Shang Jun, and the First Emperor." ”

It's a pity that Qin Shi Huang has a good beginning but no good end, he used brute force to spread out the cake, wanting to include the United States, but in the most critical central area, everyone gets less cake, but they can't jump to scold their mother?

Spreading cakes also requires skill.

Hefu cut the bread with a blade:

"Therefore, if you can't make the bread bigger for the time being, how to divide the bread has become the key."

"There are also tricks, one of which is called 'generosity to others'."

As he spoke, he took the bread from his wife's plate and laid it in front of him.

"Take the bread from the hands of others and give it to your own people, and those who can fight for it, so that they will die for you."

Ye Zijin understood: "The lover did it in Jiaodong, snatched the cakes from Zhutian and distributed them to the Yan family and other small clans, and the poor people in Luzuo to win the hearts of the people. and made the cake to Haidong, so that the merchants could share their profits. Now the Kanto region is rebellious, only Jiaodong has been alone so far, and the common people and businessmen support Chen Ping and Cao Shen in order to keep the profits. ”

"Not bad."

This practice, in a simple sentence in later generations, is to fight local tyrants and divide the land!

But the truth can not be rigid, the land contradictions in the Qin period are very different from those in later generations, there are still "feudal remnants" in the six countries of Kwantung, and the big nobles like Tian still occupy a large number of means of production, and they take advantage of the situation to defeat them, which is enough for all forces in Jiaodong to eat.

But in Qindi, the Shang Dynasty changed the law, in fact, it has destroyed most of the personal dependence, and the yeoman farmers do not have to pay another layer of rent to the lords and nobles, but have become directly to the government to pay rent, even if it is a military family such as Wang and Meng, the real land is not large.

In other words, the Qin Dynasty, which was a big government, actually had only one landlord, and that was the government.

Looking at the world, there is only one big tyrant, and that is the emperor himself!

The throne was absent, and Heifu was ruthless enough, so he divided the Shaofu, that is, the emperor's private property......

The palace, the goods, and even the palace maids, who used to belong to only one person, were all divided, and the soldiers, soldiers, and prisoners of the Northern Expeditionary Army all had Zepi.

The imperial kitchen, the imperial doctor, and the weaving room, these people who originally only served the royal family, were also sent out by Heifu to sell favors and make a political show in Xihe.

The coolest thing in this world is that after being generous to others, the people who get benefits are grateful to you. Turning over and overturning, hundreds of thousands of prisoners, hundreds of thousands of Xihe people, a third of the population of the Inner History region, at least verbally, have already taken Heifu as a "parent".

"The second trick of dividing the bread is 'not to suffer from the few, but to suffer from unevenness'."

Heifu started and put his hand down, divided the rest of the cake into three equal parts, and asked Ye Zijin: "When you came to Xianyang, did you hear rumors along the way?" ”

Ye Zijin shook his head: "The concubine only heard the ballad, and the Xihe people praised the song of the beloved, saying that he was a child, and Jun was a parent." ”

Heifu shook his head: "Parents actually have a preference for their children, not to mention those in power for all sentient beings?" ”

"I heard that the prisoners were dividing the land, and there were many rumors outside, saying that I wanted to divide the Qin land among the prisoners to take food from the Qin population, and many people were filled with righteous indignation......

I don't know who Hefu said these words to, and only a wife can confide in them:

"Shanglin Yuan is the emperor's private garden, no one can touch it, and even trespassing will be executed, and whose interests are violated by sharing this wilderness? The interests of those who spread rumors? Not at all, they just felt that it was really undeserving that the prisoners who were inferior in the past could now be granted land, so they began to cry out unevenly. ”

"But in fact, the original text of my decree is as follows."

Heifu read: "Now that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are in turmoil in the eastern part of the country, if you want to sweep it away, you can't rely on the elk and cranes in the garden, you can only be foot soldiers, enough food, so the garden can be abolished, and the county and township will be established with its place, and the meritorious soldiers and released prisoners will be placed in Tuntian!" (See Chapter 924)

It's clear in black and white.

It's just that some people are blinded by something.

I couldn't see the meritorious soldiers, only the word "prisoner", they were excited, pointing at Heifu, and their mouths were full of:

Do you want to ruin Chinese esports?

"Actually, there are three, five, nine and so on."

Heifu said: "Just like Daqin's household registration, there are civil registrations, city registrations, hidden official registrations, and prison registrations. ”

"When I release the prisoners, I actually only transfer them from prisoners who have no freedom to hidden officials with a certain degree of freedom. The status is higher than that of the subordinate concubines, but lower than that of the common people. ”

"And not everyone can get land for these prisoners, only the 30,000 Chi torturers who are originally from Qin. In the Battle of the West River, they transported grain and straw for me, and they spent some labor, and they will not have any dissents in the face of the Six Nations in the future. As for the rest of the prisoners from the Six Kingdoms, they were still under the centralized control of the Shaofu, and as hidden official records, they were scattered in various places to cultivate official fields. ”

"The Shanglin area is vast for 300 miles and can be divided into three counties."

"A county is used to house 30,000 Qin warriors and their families, and most of the land planted and harvested have to pay rent, basically only enough rations can be left, and the rest must be handed over to the government, and there is almost no money left. But they can at least eat enough, and they don't have the humiliation and heavy labor when they were prisoners, but the young and strong still have to enlist in the army as soldiers after spring ploughing. ”

To put it bluntly, it is serfs and mintun.

"If you want to really become a citizen, 30,000 Chi torturers have to follow the old rules of Qin to kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions.

"In another county, Nanyang and Lantian are resettled, those who have no land, most of them want to return to their hometowns to cultivate the old soil, and there are only more than 10,000 people who are willing to go to the forest to open up the land, most of them are family members, and their generation is a citizen, and they can enjoy the rent of May Day."

"As for the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the bread they received was sweeter and more fragrant."

"The generals have obtained a large number of gold and silver utensils, lacquer and ceremonial utensils, as for those who have filled their own pockets, I don't know how many, I turn a blind eye, as long as it is not excessive, I have not been investigated, who is not selfish?"

In the final analysis, his command is still only a feudal army.

"The land that his generation deserves to be promoted to the title is mainly divided into two places: Nanjun and Hengshan. If the rich and noble do not return to their hometown, such as brocade clothes walking at night, the generals are more willing to go back to their homeland than to stay in Guanzhong. Compared with Guanzhong, the two counties are still vast and sparsely populated, and those wilderness places on the shores of lakes and waterfronts are enough to be well developed. ”

"And ordinary soldiers, in addition to the private pockets, Zhisu Neishi and Shaofu squeezed out 20,000 rewards, which is also called 100,000 people, which is not much, but more is really gone, Shaofu is insufficient, and I also took out 10 million from my own pocket."

In addition, according to the voluntary situation, the single soldiers who are willing to stay in Guanzhong in the future will be given ripe land according to their merits, and after the great chaos, some people in Guanzhong who resist will be deprived of their land and houses and exempt from rent for three years. As for those who want to return to their hometowns, they are also divided into land in Nanjun and Hengshan, and they are rent-free for three years. ”

"Of course, these rumor-mongers have been arrested for defamation." Hauff laughed.

"It was not severely punished, but they were just asked to do some labor on behalf of or on behalf of the released prisoners, and to study and repent."

Ye Zijin felt a little sorry for Heifu, it was not easy to be in government, she smiled: "The imperial historians who criticized their beloved people in the court are safe and sound. ”

"Unlike the people, the imperial historians are clear about the specific measures of the new policy, but they still have to oppose it."

When Heifu heard his wife fighting for him, he burst out laughing:

"Because there is such a thing as imperial history, which is opposed for the sake of opposition."

"They don't care if they're right or wrong."

"Whoever is in power will oppose him."

"When the Shang Dynasty reformed, they opposed the Shang Dynasty."

"When Wei Ran was in power, they were against Wei Ran."

"When LΓΌ Buwei was in power, they started to oppose LΓΌ again."

"As for the First Emperor, no matter what is good or bad, whether it is centralized power or an expedition, he is still against it."

"It's just that the first emperor has a bad temper, his face is flat, and his life is a matter of life, and the imperial historians are silent."

In this way, he was silent after the time of Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, until Heifu entered Xianyang.

This guy hides a secret black trick, on the surface of an elegant and easy-going, active posture of admonition, so some strange voices sounded again.

"They can't learn anything else, they can't analyze the pros and cons, they can't find the crux of the problem, and they don't want to find out when the government of the world began to corrupt and how to correct it."

"When the First Emperor was still alive, they clamored for the Emperor to make changes."

"But now, I'm afraid I'll make a change."

Of course, the imperial historians have limitations after all, after all, they don't know that in the original history, Hu Hai and Zhang Han relied on the release of prisoners and almost overturned the six countries.

Liu Bang entered the Guanzhong, and also opened the old Qin Yuan to cultivate with the people, which won bursts of applause, although later Lao Liu was selfish, and thought about the enjoyment of the Venerable, but regretted turning his face, and scolded Xiao He for this.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, it was always revoking the financial rights of the Shaofu and entering the Dasi Nong.

History has proven to be right, but it has to be said to be wrong.

Or, as long as it was done by his black husband, it was wrong?

"For these people, the lover allows them to exist, is it really in this mind that can accept all rivers?" Ye Zijin's slender fingers poked at Heifu's chest.

Heifu waved his hand, disapproving.

"The Imperial Historians are just a swarm of flies."

"Buzzing and screaming, it's a little annoying, but it can't toss the big waves, and it can make the court more lively, so that it won't be all the same."

"What's more, the opposition that can be heard is a hundred times better than the conspiracy in the dark......"

Ye Zijin waved at Heifu: "The concubine understands." ”

"What do you understand?"

"The Yang Yushi who has repeatedly criticized the new policy with the imperial historians is a person who loves ......"

Heifu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "You, you're just too smart!" ”

He didn't eat the bread anymore, and seeing that it was still early, Heifu pulled his wife to warm up again, and afterwards, he patted her on the back and asked her to prepare the most solemn robe for himself.

"Where do you want to go?"

"I'm going to Afang Palace." Heifu said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, this remark made Ye Zijin slightly alert: "The concubine heard that tens of thousands of palace maids have all moved to Afang?" ”

"But so."

Although Heifu promised to hand over Ah Fang to Zhang Cang as a library in the future, Ah Fang is too big, and the only suitable for storing books is the stone room surrounded by streams inside, and the large square in front of the palace is suitable for some big scenes instead of being vacant.

For example, group weddings.

Heifu explained with a smile: "I want to go there in person, for 10,000 single soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and 10,000 palace maids who have been released from the palace, to marry!" ”
