566 lent money to the emperor

Jingshi Luoyang, street.

"Stop. Hold it. "A group of errands were frantically chasing after a group of people.

"Oops, there's really no money. There is no money left. "After some soldiers enter Luoyang City, as long as they are merchants and civilians, they will break into the door and enter it to search for money. If you don't take the money, you will be arrested immediately, put in prison, and after paying a certain amount of money, you will be released, and for a while, Luoyang Prison will be overcrowded.

"Crazy. Lose your marbles. It's so catchy. Looting for money. "Cao Cao walked on the street, and those errand soldiers were originally good at looting money. After Emperor Ling of Han issued an order to increase the money in the treasury, they found a reason at once, and all the messengers ran around, and they entered Luoyang City, various counties and townships. In order to complete the task, county commanders at all levels vigorously encouraged their subordinates to commit illegal acts, and for a time the law and discipline were chaotic and the people's hearts were unstable.

Autumn is supposed to be a harvest season. But it became a disaster for some peasants, and Cao Cao was extremely sad about this. But their emperor didn't care about this at all, Emperor Han Ling thought so, as long as he had money and enough troops. This empire of his can be maintained. Such an idea is extremely biased, but it is such an extremely biased idea that prompted Emperor Han Ling to do so.

The consequences of this were very serious, and a large number of peasants went bankrupt further. And the land annexation will become more and more serious, and the looting of people's wealth will give them a very important excuse. With such an opportunity. Land annexation will become easier and easier. The bankruptcy of a large number of peasants would further undermine the foundations of the Han Empire.

Lijiazhuang. Inside the War Department.

"How can this be done? Isn't this a naked robbery? Shang Wu was very surprised when he saw such a telegram, and it seemed that he could hardly believe that Emperor Ling of Han was the head of state. He even felt that such news might not be true, but after a large number of examples were given. Sangwu had to believe that it was true.

"This is His Majesty the Emperor." Jia Xu said helplessly that Emperor Han Ling was actually an extremely selfish person, he always came by his own temperament, in his opinion, as long as he followed his wishes, there was not much to happen in this country.

"It's crazy, it's crazy. If such a move can lead to a huge disaster, what will be the result if such a thing continues? It's hard for me to believe that something like this could happen. Shang Wu said. The first is a responsible attitude. But obviously, Emperor Han Ling would not think like this at all.

He just thinks about some of his own things, and then makes some of his situations favorable, as for the impact, and the consequences, it's not for him to think about, he just needs to understand what kind of situation his current situation is.

"We are still worried about what kind of impact the emperor will have if he does this." Jia Xu said.

"First of all, a lot of money has been looted, and the officers are more daring than we think, and they usually make it difficult to do such things. That's one of their results, and, things like that, they're easy to do. Jia Xu said.

"Then there were a lot of peasants who went bankrupt because they would sell what they had property, their land, and even their freedom, to meet the needs of these officials, and to meet their tax needs." Jia Xu said. Shang Wu couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this. He knew that this was the beginning of the disaster, and that such a situation would never end, and even in many cases, in many cases, it would be difficult for them to continue. In such a situation, such a situation is really difficult to continue. I really don't know what the emperor thinks.

"In this case, the land annexation will become more and more serious, and the number of people who pay grain taxes will become less and less. The reduction of taxes by the state led to an even greater catastrophe, and so it happened. Jia Xu said.

Almost every feudal dynasty could not avoid the problem of land annexation, because the greatest property and the most important means of production in feudal society was land, without which the peasants were gone. And the country's tax system is based on such a system. A large number of peasants who have gone to the land can only cling to them to make their own situation better, and this is what they are helpless to do at present. In the face of such a situation, many people cannot solve it.

Especially at the end of a feudal dynasty, this kind of land annexation will become more and more intense, natural disasters, man-made disasters, these have become all kinds of excuses for landlords to annex land. Eventually, the land annexation reached a certain level and then dispersed again. This creates a unified demand. This may be the way of heaven that Jia Xu often says. And this kind of Heavenly Dao requires a combination of various factors to solve such a thing.

"Speaking of which, our land is also being annexed, albeit by agricultural leasing and by banks encouraging mergers. A large amount of land has changed hands and sold and so on, and our land problem is not very serious. But we need to be mindful of some of these things. What if, and I'm talking about, if our population increases further, or to a certain high level? Shang Wu asked.

"This situation will be very unfavorable, and even, there will be a big disaster." Shang Wu said.

"The increase in population, while the land given is not very changeable. If there is a contradiction between the population and the land, our economic crisis will erupt, and although the current crisis is in the southern court, we should also pay attention to such situations. Shang Wu said worriedly, and Shang Wu was very alert to think of such a layer, because he felt that things might not be as easy as he simply thought.

"I couldn't agree more." Jia Xu said.

"Just, how do we deal with such a crisis?" Jia Xu habitually took out a pen and paper and began to record. Shang Wu usually thinks about things from a different perspective.

"First, our policy has not changed much, but some factors are changing, land, population. Land. In a certain area, it is relative and constant, for example, land, there is so much arable land in a certain area, plus our population, we continue to attract all kinds of people to join, plus the local population increases, what I know is that once the population enters a stable environment, there will be a large increase. In this regard, our problem is still quite serious. Shang Wu said.

"How to solve this contradiction between population and land, and how to expand the demand for resources in more places recently, although it can alleviate the pressure on labor to a certain extent, it seems that it is still difficult to complete such a thing." Jia Xu said.

"I think we can do that. We should see that we should not only give them arable land, but also give them pasture and woodland, so that they can adapt to all kinds of situations, after all, in the future, we may move towards the north, and we will not be able to meet such a situation with arable land. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm." Jia Xu recorded it.

"We also need to think carefully about these things, if we stop expanding, it means that the amount of land holdings will enter a downward trend." Jia Xu said. Shangwu nodded in agreement.

"With that said, I have come up with another solution, which is to solve our current problems with trade with the South. Because in many cases it is because the trade in the South cannot be further developed, which directly leads to such an outcome, and we should see the impact of such a situation. Jia Xu said.

In a short period of time, the northern market could not be opened, and the southern trade market was in a state of blockade, Jia Xu was very anxious about this, and he wanted to open such a situation through other means.

"Tell me what you think." Shang Wu nodded in agreement.

"What I noticed is that we have borrowed a sum of money to Dong Zhuo, who now has his own armed forces and may be promoted. We don't know the exact situation yet, but I think we can influence the situation in the southern court through such a thing, and if we lend money to the other party, it may open up our market a bit. For example, the emperor needs to borrow a lot of money, and the general He Jin, he also needs some funds to do something, what to do, we don't know, this may be an investment for us, although there is a certain risk, but I think that money is also a kind of ability, if we open such a market, it will be much beneficial to us, because we need resources, and the market is very much, our disadvantage is that we can't stop contact, once the trade is cut off, it may bring great contradictions to ourselves. Jia Xu said.

"We don't lack force, but what we lack is some flexibility." Jia Xu said.

"Lend money to the emperor of Luoyang." Shang Wu began to think about some such questions. He felt as if he could do it, through borrowing, they might have the next step, and at the same time, they could ease the tension in Hedong and Hexi through borrowing. This is called gold-dollar diplomacy.
