Chapter 365 Cao Wei raises the flag again
In September 269, Luoyang Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
In the eight Kanto prefectures of the Jin Kingdom, except for a few counties in the northern part of Youzhou and Pingzhou (Liaodong), winter wheat was cultivated in all the rest of the country, and the harvest season was late June. So when Guan Yi and others could only estimate an approximate figure of the autumn harvest. The vast majority of the autumn grain of the Jin Kingdom has been registered and put into storage.
"Your Majesty, after the statistics of Shangshutai. In the first year of the founding of the armed forces, the total amount of cultivated land collected by our Great Jin Dynasty was 100.3 million mu, and the actual cultivated land was 11.55 million mu. Its income is after deducting the salaries of princes, dukes, princes, princesses, barons, officials, and soldiers at all levels. The actual surplus in the treasury was 23 million stone grain and 18 billion yuan. ”
“…… Well, Ji Yan, is this 18 billion new money for Jianwu or the previous Wei five baht? ”
"Well, it's Jianwu New Money. Converted into the previous Wei five baht, it is about seven billion. ”
"What? Ji Yan, did you miscalculate? When my country was defeated in Kansai last year, the national income was not less than 13 billion yuan, and even if Yongliang was lost this year, the top sky would be reduced by two percent...... How to halve directly? ”
"Your Majesty forgives your sins. Yongliang was lost, and the poll tax of more than 700,000 people in Yongliang was gone. This money accounts for about 20%. The remaining more than 20% is mainly due to the overflow of illicit salt and the prevalence of smuggling. The country's salt tax is already less than one-fifth of last year's...... In addition, in addition to illicit salt, there are also various daily commodities and luxury utensils smuggled into the country by the Shu thieves. The surplus money of the people and the large amount of money of the family have all flowed out in large quantities. As a result, the national commercial tax was also cut in half. Moreover, a large number of copper coins entered Shu, resulting in a sharp decrease in the country's copper coin inventory...... At least this is decreasing faster than the number of new coins minted each year at several major copper mines. ”
"This ...... I have already ordered Ma Xiaoxing and Wang Shizhi to strictly investigate smuggling. Where did these things come from? ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has reported to you before." At this time, it was Jia Chong who came out to answer: "Illegal salt and various commodities first came from Bingzhou and Tongguan, and later from the northern grasslands. I think it was the Shu thieves who changed the trade route. ”
"Is there such a thing? How did I approve it at the time? ”
"Your Majesty asked his ministers to strictly investigate smuggling in Youzhou when Uncle Meng was there."
"What happened to Uncle Meng?!"
"Your Majesty, this is really no wonder Uncle Meng. The Xianbei people on the grassland all took the benefits of the Shu thieves and tried their best to help the traffickers smuggle. On the one hand, Uncle Meng had to strictly investigate smuggling, and on the other hand, he did not dare to be too eager to urge the Xianbei tribes, which led to the Xianbei tribes rising up. So ......"
"Hey! Speaking of which, they are all a group of internal thieves who eat inside and out! For the sake of a little petty profit, throw aside the righteousness of the country! ”
scolded angrily, Sima Yan himself knows: profit-seeking. Insatiable greed is the instinct of the family. After the idea of regional distribution rights has firmly tied up the large and small families in the states and counties, how can he really start a war with the entire family?
But fortunately, the food thief seems to have achieved self-sufficiency? I didn't see the bulk of the grain being removed.
(Guan Yi: Hmph, because Ma Long and Wang Jun, the two bastards, have noble morals and don't eat soft and hard.) The trade route was forced to take a large detour, and the cost of transporting food was too high. When the straight road from Chang'an to Wuyuan is completed, I will ask the family in Kanto to exchange grain for high-grade wine. When the time comes...... )
"Hey, the country has such a small income now, if there is really a big event, it still feels overstretched. Guys, is there any way to increase the country's revenue? ”
How to increase? Strict household tax? However, this household tax has been carried out several rounds, and the good ones have been carried out, and the rest are all deep-rooted hard stubble. Who would dare to touch them?
Reduction of princely values and fiefdoms? These guys are very dissatisfied with the fact that they have been taken into the army. If you want to move their economic interests again, do you really think that their surname Sima will not rise up and rebel?
Tax increases? Don't you see that the actual number of acres cultivated by domestic homesteaders is basically the same as the number of acres taxed by the state? What does this mean? In order to achieve the national goal of collecting taxes on 50 acres of land for adult men. The people everywhere have played with their lives on the cultivated land, and the people's power has been squeezed to the extreme! In such a situation, the tax will be raised, which is to give birth to the next Chen Sheng and Wu Guang!
"Your Majesty, this is the time. Or is it only on the land to find a way. ”
"Oh? Ji Yan, what's the best plan? ”
"Si Wencao's side has already obtained a full set of information about Quyuan Plough from Xishu. Shangshutai has organized people to experiment, and it can indeed greatly improve the efficiency of cultivated land. In addition, Si Wencao also stole the seeds of Han beans and Han rice from the Shu thieves. You can try to promote. ”
"Well, I've heard about it, and it's possible. However, the name of Han Dou and Han Rice is really hateful, so it is still called Jin Dou and Jin Dao. ”
"Obey."
"In addition, although I don't know about farming, I also know that the number of bean seeds and rice seeds that Si Wencao retrieved from the Shu thieves is limited. It is not easy to cultivate it in this way. I heard that Wu Gou is also promoting new rice varieties on a large scale in the south, so I can ask them for some. ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Where am I Shengming, didn't you say this just now Pei Xiu deliberately didn't say it halfway through, so as to foil me? You're getting more and more shrewd, you old thief. Speaking of which, my Dajin is in the north, how many places are suitable for growing rice? I originally hoped that you would come up with a plan to restrict the family, but you used these trivial things to fool me. Don't I really know what's going on in your hearts?
But although Sima Yan understands, he can't say it: according to the theory of class struggle, Sima Jin's rule is based on the family and not the yeoman farmer!
"That's all for today, you've worked hard. Let's go back and rest early. ”
"Your Majesty, I'll tell ...... later"
"Report ~~~ Your Majesty! Urgent! ”
"Huh? What's the matter? ”
"The traitor Cao Yi is the king of Shangyong!"
……
"On the fifth day of the ninth month of the ninth year of the Great Wei Jingyuan, Wu Zishuo. Cao Yi, the great-grandson of Emperor Taizu Wu of the Great Wei Dynasty, Zhang Hu, Marquis Zhang Xiong of Jinyang, Xu Ba, Marquis of Yangping, and Lezhao of Guangchang Ting, etc., told the governors, county guards, generals, captains, county commanders, military marquis, and the common people:

Jingzhou is broken in half, and Yongliang is mourned. The people wailed in the wilderness, and the corpses of the soldiers were out...... The name of his incompetent rat generation, is not the name of Sima's family?
Cao Yi, the descendant of Emperor Taizu Wu of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the grandson of the first King of Chengwei. The remnants of the Fencao clan have been helped by friends and loyal ministers. Then on the fifth day of the ninth month of the ninth year of the Great Wei Jingyuan, he was on the throne of Wei in Weixing County! Bai Zhang Hu is the former general, Zhang Xiong is the right general, Xu Ba is the left general, and Le Zhao is the rear general. There are even descendants of famous ministers, hundreds of thousands of Wei Jiahuben gathered here. Vow to kill the rebels and slaughter Sima before they can solve the situation in the upside down!
Today, the Great Wei is re-xing. There are already three counties of Weixing. Hundreds of thousands of tigers, all loyal and righteous elites, to fight thieves, like a bamboo! Jin Zhi lingered and died. It is manifest. Today, I am a great Wei, with four mighty cloths, and Xuanfeng Zhongyue. Rise and fall, seal the Kanto, follow the old system of Taizu, and cultivate the legacy of the ancestors. There is disobedience, and the military army is peaceful. Then the division also revitalized the brigade, and the bow and drummed. Deuteronomy commanded the people, each in his own place, and there was no responsibility for his son! ’”
……
"Wow~~~!" Listening to Pei Xiu read Cao Yi's essay in a low voice, and listening to Cao Yi lift up the scandal of the Sima family. Sima Yan only felt ashamed and angry, and after suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood, he fainted suddenly.
This essay is written so much that I am broken~~~~~~ writing a history essay is really poor and written!
