In front of the palace again, many courtiers gathered, obviously, the court began again, the first of the three orders to arrive was Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang looked a little tired, these days, he stayed at home, all day long for the new law and busy, Zhuge Liang arrived, the ministers came forward to meet, Zhuge Liang even if he was tired, he was not rude, smiled and greeted them.

"Zhuge Gong, is the matter of the new law still going well?" , Cao Chong asked with a smile, he came early, just a few days ago, he was also called by Zhuge Liang, saying that he wanted to formulate a law on taxation, so that taxes could be based on evidence, and prevent officials from oppressing the people through taxes, Cao Chong had been busy with tax innovation, and Zhuge Liang's thoughts coincided with him.

The two talked for a long time, there was no friendship between the two people, in the conversation, but it was unexpectedly harmonious, mutual appreciation, Zhuge Liang after listening to Cao Chong's thoughts, he was also shocked, especially valued, with a kind of thinking to promote the younger generation, and he seriously talked about the new law, Zhuge Liang felt in his heart that this person can definitely support this temple after twenty years.

He is very intelligent, not inferior to himself, not to mention that he came to Shangshutai at a young age, and studied with Guo Jia for seven or eight years, this piece of jade has been sharpened more and more exquisitely, which makes Zhuge Liang very fond of it.

"Cangshu.. Fortunately, all the things I talked about with you in the past have been codified, as long as it depends on your innovation, as long as your innovation is completed, there will be no major problem in the improvement of the next tax law, but you still need to advise. Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and said with a smile, Cao Chong heard this, and hurriedly said modestly: "I don't dare to mention any advice, it should be Zhuge Gong who instructed me." ”

And the ministers around who listened to the words of the two of them looked at each other, and couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts, the tax is about to be innovated again? No, didn't Cao Chong's father, Cao Cao, have already reformed? The New Deal of the year was so immense, what did Cao Chong want to innovate?

The two talked for a while, Shang Shuling's carriage slowly stopped on the opposite side, Xun Yu got out of the carriage and looked at the ministers, everyone hurriedly met again, Xun Yu nodded, looked at everyone, and before he could speak, Liu Ba on the side had already walked over, pulled Xun Yu and walked a few steps, only then did he lower his voice and asked: "Xun Linggong, this court meeting is for the issuance of banknotes?" ”

"I don't know very well, later, when Lu Guozhang comes, you can ask again."

Liu Ba was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Then forget it, let's wait for the court to start talking." ”

Lu Bu was the last to arrive, every time he was like this, he came unhurriedly, with a very reluctant look, in the face of everyone's greetings, he didn't return the salute, snorted coldly, and walked to the side of Cui Yan, the Taixue Great Sacrifice Wine, Lu Bu looked at him coldly and asked: "After Hu'er came back yesterday, he said that he was beaten by you, but is there such a thing?" ”

"I am His Highness's master, and it is only natural to beat him, why not?" , Cui Yan replied.

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Very good, hehe, then Your Excellency may explain to me, why did you beat him?" ”

"He was going to practice archery yesterday."

"Why not practice archery?"

"His archery technique was taught by Lu Guozhang??"

"Exactly!" , Lu Bu raised his head proudly.

"Twenty paces away, he shot an arrow, but it didn't hit the target."

"Ahem, he's still young, I'm at his age, I can't even pull a bow, what's this? Is it worth it for you to hit him? ”

"But he did the true inheritance of the country, he didn't shoot the arrow target, but he shot the onlooker General Taishi with an arrow."

Lu Bu's eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there such a thing??" How did I not know? This guy didn't tell me either, alas, this, how is General Taishi? ”

"Hehe, fortunately, His Royal Highness is young, and the old general Taishi is also wearing armor, otherwise I am afraid that I will return to the west on the spot, Guozhang, this teaches children, you can't blindly spoil them, and I hope that Guozhang won't interfere...", Cui Yan said coldly.

Lu Bu was speechless, cleared his throat, looked around, and didn't find Tai Shici's figure, so he said: "I'll go to him later to make amends, don't tell Your Majesty about this..."

Finally, when it was time for the court meeting, Lu Bu led everyone into the palace.

The Son of Heaven walked into the main hall and sat on the upper seat, the Son of Heaven frowned, looking a little annoyed, and everyone didn't know what was going on, but they were thinking in their hearts, it seems that they should pay attention to it today, the Son of Heaven sat on the upper position, and was worshiped by the ministers, so he asked: "Do you have a watch?" As soon as he opened his mouth, a person suddenly jumped out.

"Your Majesty!! The minister has a play!! ”

Everyone was shocked, and the person who opened their mouths was Zhang Fei, the servant of the Inspector's Mansion.

Zhang Fei looked at the Son of Heaven and said loudly: "Yanzhou Mu Sima Yi!! Receiving bribes from officials!! Running a party !! Rejection of dissidents!! I hope that Your Majesty will punish you severely!! ”

As soon as Zhang Fei opened his mouth, the temple was in an uproar, and everyone began to discuss, even the Son of Heaven was a little surprised, he held a court meeting today, not for these, Zhang Fei said these things, he really heard of it for the first time, he frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "Please Zhang Jun go to Yanzhou to investigate, if it is true, it will be handed over to the criminal government for disposal!" ”

"Respectfully!!"

Zhang Fei sat down.

Liu Xi looked at everyone again, Cao Chong immediately got up, and said: "Your Majesty, today's taxes are chaotic and unorganized, Your Majesty has removed a lot of miscellaneous taxes, but there are still some meaningless miscellaneous taxes, in addition, in some aspects, there is no standard for taxation, such as today's canal, the boat crossing the canal, has not been counted in the vehicle and vessel tax, but is collected according to the standards of various counties and counties!" ”

"The ministers summoned the officials of the tax government to make sixteen tax examples...", Cao Chong said slowly, the ministers who were still suspicious because of hearing the word tax calmed down, they were afraid that Cao Chong would go through his father's path again and increase the tax on the powerful clan again, but if it was just a tax regulation, it would still be acceptable, as long as it was not to change the form and increase the burden on them.

After Cao Chong finished speaking, whether they could understand it or not, everyone nodded in agreement, and praised it in a decent manner, and it could be seen that everyone agreed with Cao Chong's performance, although they didn't understand, but it did not prevent them from appreciating the new regulations.

The ministers quickly discussed, pretending to talk for a long time, and did not give a decent proposal, and finally drafted it according to Cao Chong's initial proposal and handed it over to the Zhongshu Order to draft the purpose.

"The minister has. . . Yes.. Yes! Deng Ai didn't like to talk in the court on weekdays, just because of his own defects, he didn't want to speak, the ministers saw him get up, and they looked at him curiously, Deng Ai played the polder, of course, talking about the advantages and disadvantages of the polder system, everyone was not very interested in these, anyway, they would not farm themselves.

The Son of Heaven listened carefully to what Deng Ai said, nodded with a smile, and said, "Not bad." ”

Deng Ai was silent for a moment, but he was a little entangled and hesitant, slowly raised his head, looked at the Son of Heaven, his eyes gradually became firm, he bowed his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing." ”

"Oh? You say, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, go away. Walk.. Traveled all over the division, Yan... Some places in Yanzhou, Jizhou, Liangzhou... Earth.. area, found a. Piece... A very important question, no matter how the minister drums. Encourage Nongsang, regardless of His Majesty such as. As.. How to be lenient to the people, the people are. All.. Won't live a good life for long. Deng Ai said seriously.

"Presumptuous!!"

"Bold!"

When the ministers heard this, they were immediately annoyed and hurriedly shouted.

Deng Ai didn't have the slightest fear, just raised his head and looked at the Son of Heaven seriously, Liu Xi squinted his eyes, looked at the young man in front of him, and asked, "Why is this?" ”

"Because. . For.. For.. Land annexation is getting heavier. Self filial piety to the emperor.. Since the emperor, the temple ministers have understood the evil of land annexation, and they have tried to prevent it. Large-scale Tuntian, Emperor Xiaoxian and . It was also stipulated that the more cultivated land the Haoqiang clan had, the heavier the tax, and wanted to use these periods to restrain the Haoqiang clan's annexation of the people's land... But the minister goes to these places. . . Fang, I still saw a lot of homeless people..."

"Natural or man-made disasters, even for no reason, Haoqiang can think of ways to do it. of the Annexation.. The persecution of the people to lose their arable land is justified and well-founded, even the local officials dare not reprimand them, and there are more and more household registrations in the world, and the number of tenants is also .. Be.. It is a lot, today's big family Xun family, covering an area of more than 100 hectares, 30,000 tenants, Your Majesty can know, this is how huge. Big.. and how many people were openly and secretly seized from the farmland and reduced to slave tenants. ”

As soon as Deng Ai opened his mouth like this, everyone immediately looked at Shang Shuling Xun Yu, Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, but his face was still calm, and he did not open his mouth to defend or reprimand.

Liu Xi looked a little surprised and asked, "Is there such a thing?" Why don't I know, then what does Deng Jun think the temple should do? ”

"The temple will be opened when Emperor Xiaokang ... Open.. All the cultivated land was returned to the hands of the temple, and it was re-cultivated. New.. New allocation, according to the person.. Person.. People carry out the equalization of fields, but where the cultivated land of the temple is not allowed.. Allow.. Allowed to sell, not monopolized, subject to the field.. After the death of the farmer, the cultivated land returned to the temple. Deng Ai said seriously, and at that moment, the temple was boiling.

Liu Xi frowned, looking at Deng Ai in front of him in surprise, he looked at the temple ministers, Zhuge Liang stroked his beard, and seemed to be still thinking about it, Xun Yu was extraordinarily calm, as if he hadn't heard anything, Zhang Fei shouted that it was feasible, Lu Bu looked at everyone arguing with disdain, Cao Chong's face turned red with excitement, and he was extremely happy, Liu Ba was still shaking his head, as if he had some scruples.
