Among the pavilions in the garden of the Xiangguo Mansion.

There are two people sitting opposite each other, and there is a chessboard on the table in the middle, on which the black and white chess pieces are intertwined, and in front of the two of them is a cup of steaming tea.

And these two people are Qin Yin and Guo Jia.

Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, who entered the court during the recruitment period, were also drawn to his side by Qin Yin to do things for him.

Among them, there are also young Zhuge Liang and others.

"Childe, now a year has passed, because the policy proposed by Childe has also been passed in the court, and now a lot of grain and grass has been hoarded, which is enough for 200,000 troops to fight for a long time, I don't know why they are still waiting?" Guo Jia asked as he placed a black chess piece on the chessboard.

And it wasn't just what he wanted to ask.

There are also things that Li Ru, Zhao Yun and others want to know.

After a year, and Qin Yin also made large-scale changes, making many policies that were beneficial to the people, and the voices of opposition in the court also disappeared in this year.

With the policy proposed by Qin Yin, the people in Chang'an are also full of energy, and there have been great changes in the past year.

For example, the hoarded grain and grass is enough to support an army of 200,000 for a year.

In the eyes of the outside world, Qin Yin took back the land that could grow grain and grass in Chang'an, distributed it to the people, and only collected 30% of the tax, which was an act of looking for death.

Originally, they also had doubts.

But later, they didn't think so, and as a result, the people paid 30% of the taxes were several times more than when the clans controlled the land and oppressed the people.

According to Qin Yin's explanation to them, that is, the land now belongs to the people themselves, although only 30% of the tax is required, but the enthusiasm of the people is different.

On the one hand, there is a positive work, and on the other hand, there is a negative attitude.

There will be a certain gap in what you get.

As long as 30% of the tax is paid, the remaining 70% is enough for the people to live a good life.

Heard Guo Jia's question.

Qin Yin pinched a white chess piece and said flatly: "Now is not the time, don't look at the current Central Plains so calm, I dare to guarantee that once we and others make a move, then these princes will unite and deal with us!" ”

In the course of the year.

The army under his command, excluding the 5,000 forbidden troops in the palace, has also increased to 250,000.

However, there are only 200,000 troops that can be mobilized, after all, Chang'an City still needs to have soldiers and horses to guard.

As for the many grains and grasses he hoarded, only him, Guo Jia and others knew, and no outsiders knew how much grain and grass he had hoarded.

And when he promulgated the policy, no one was optimistic about the policy he promulgated.

Now that there is grain and grass, there are enough soldiers and horses, and it has been recuperating for a year, there should be action, but it is still necessary to wait for an opportunity.

"What kind of arrangement does Childe have?" Guo Jia continued to ask.

He also knew that the Central Plains seemed calm now, but secretly it was not calm at all, and the policies promulgated by Qin Yin could only be carried out in Chang'an, and the rest of the places did not follow the policies.

Even Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao couldn't carry it out, and he couldn't suppress the big families in Yanzhou.

However, the land of annexing states is resisting the invasion of the Xiongnu, and it is difficult to carry out.

Not to mention the rest of the states and counties, how could Yuan Shao and the others continue to obey the policies of the imperial court now, and the imperial court is still controlled by Qin Yin.

Qin Yin nodded and said, "Shouchun's Yuan Shu has been awarded the Jade Seal of the Kingdom for such a long time, if it is said that he has no idea of anything, it is impossible, it is just an opportunity away!" ”

He didn't hide his thoughts.

Moreover, he has already arranged for people to do this one thing.

When Luoyang moved the capital to Chang'an, he threw out the jade seal of the country, broke the alliance of the princes, and separated the princes, but he was not just a plan.

Throwing out the jade seal of the country is also for this time.

If he wants to have movements, then he needs someone in front to help him block, and who is more suitable than Yuan Shu, who has the jade seal of the country?

"Childe is saying...!" Guo Jia's eyes lit up.

From Qin Yin's words, although he didn't know what arrangements Qin Yin had made, he could also think of the key points.

If that's the case.

The Central Plains will no longer be as calm as it is now, but will be completely chaotic, and in this way, they will have a place to play.

Whether it was him, Zhao Yun and others, they didn't want to stay in peace in the land of Chang'an.

It's just that there wasn't enough grain and grass before, and now that there is grain and grass, Qin Yin didn't have an order, so he didn't make any moves, he just waited.

Today, he came over and chatted with Qin Yin, and it was Zhao Yun and others who pushed him out to find out.

Qin Yin nodded, did not speak, but picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

There is no need for him to say anything, Guo Jia will understand what he means, he still trusts Guo Jia's wisdom, but he is not a simple character.

At the beginning.

Guo Jiadu didn't really do things for him, but only changed later.

"However, in this way, the people of the Central Plains will suffer again!" Guo Jia smiled bitterly and sighed.

Hear the words.

Qin Yin shook his head and said, "It's just that it is not broken or established, and Fengxiao, do you think that the people of the Central Plains are not suffering under the governance of the princes?" ”

How difficult it is to set the people free.

Even if he doesn't dare to make any guarantees, he can only guarantee that he can make the people's lives better when planning the goals he wants.

If you can't change people's minds today, then that can't be done.

"It's me who fell into the devil!" Guo Jia was stunned for a moment and said.

He also understood what Qin Yin meant.

Even if they don't provoke wars, the people of the Central Plains have not changed in any way under the governance of Yuan Shao and other princes, but if they provoke wars and can dominate the world, Qin Yin's policies can be carried out in various states and counties, and they can make today's people live a better life.

It can be seen from the current situation in Chang'an.

Although there will definitely be sacrifices in this process, that reform was not accompanied by bloodshed.

There are gains and losses.

"What is the situation in the state today?" Qin Yin asked.

He didn't want to continue on the topic, so he changed the subject.

After all, he is not a saint, he can't do that to that extent, he will only use his own methods to solve it.
