"Your Majesty, the two countries of Eastern Wu and Western Shu, especially Western Shu. Its kings and marquis are all fictitious. There are no fiefdoms, and there is no corresponding fiefdom. So the cost of this piece is negligible......"

Of course, it wasn't Pei Xiu who said this, because everyone was a county prince. And who is Pei Xiu? In Sima Zhao's shogunate, he fought with Zhong Hui for so many years, and he was still alive and well. That political IQ is quite high. Although he also thought that Sima Yan rewarded the Sima family's waste relatives too much, he would only use numbers to guide him, and would never say such things directly.

The person who said such things on such an occasion was Sima Yan's father-in-law, Yang Jun, who was born in the Hongnong Yang family.

The Hongnong Yang family, like the Yuan family at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was the third prince of the fourth generation. The more famous character in it is Yang Xiu, who was wiped by Cao Cao for showing off his talent. This Yang Jun and Yang Xiu are both the fifth grandsons of Yang Zhen, a famous minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and when it comes to the relationship, the two are distant cousins who have not yet come out of the five suits.

As a family deeply involved in Hongnong County, the Yang family has a strong influence around Luoyang. Therefore, in order to stabilize his family's rule in Luoyang, Sima Zhao married his eldest son to the daughter of the Yang family. Of course, according to the Basic Law of Foreign Relatives, before Sima Zhao hangs up, the Hongnong Yang family will not be reused. Only after Sima Yan ascended the throne, the Yang family, as a foreign relative, would expand rapidly and become a strong support for His Majesty the Emperor.

As far as Yang Jun is concerned, he is ambitious and incapable. has a family background, but no courage. On the basis of history, after Sima Yan died, he held the empress dowager and the emperor in his hands, not to mention, the central army of the imperial court was also in his hands. As a result, with such a good handful of cards, he was finally exterminated by his granddaughter-in-law.

Because of his ambitions, he desperately wanted to reduce the power of the Sima family's relatives. Because he was incapable, he opened his mouth and said how Xishu treated his own princes and marquises.

Big brother, you didn't see the situation clearly. Now that the Sima family is forcibly ascending to the throne, the big families under Cao Wei in the past are extremely dissatisfied and look on coldly. At this time, how can you not be crowned a prince and rely on your relatives to guard the Quartet? What if there is another Huainan rebellion? When the time comes, will you lead the troops to quell the rebellion?

"Marquis of Linjin, your words are extremely inappropriate. It must be known that in the past, the Wei State was too tightly controlled by the clan, so once the country had something to do, it lacked strong support. Your Majesty is doing this to uphold the legacy of Emperor Wen, not only the embodiment of filial piety, but also for the long-term peace and stability of my Great Jin. ”

"Well, General Che Cavalry said this very well. The Marquis of Linjin, I Guangjian Princes, just for the stability of the Great Jin Dynasty. ”

Therefore, Jia Chong's children's shoes are different. No matter which master you serve, you can make the master very comfortable. At this point, you Yang Jun is still far behind.

Of course, the reason why Jia Chong likes the leader, in addition to always supporting any idea of the leader, is that he can do things.

"Be that as it may, Your Majesty. The decline in state-controlled hukou and arable land is indeed a big problem. Therefore, please ask Your Majesty to care about this. ”

"Well, that's what the General said. So, Gonglu, do you have anything to teach me? ”

"Hehehe, Your Majesty. Ministers have never been good at government affairs. At this point, you also need Ji Yan's help. ”

Yes, in Sima Zhao's small team before. Bae Xiu and Zhong Hui are political enemies who are endless. And Jia Chong and Wei Guan are also not used to each other. It's not that Sima Zhao can't see these four people's various small actions all day long. But on the one hand, Sima Zhao needs these four people not to be united, and on the other hand, Sima Zhao is confident that he can control this kind of struggle within a certain range.

It's a pity that Sima Yan, who succeeded to the throne, didn't have his father's ability. Zhong Hui won't talk about it when he runs away, you should stay in the court anyway. In addition to being handsome and well-written. Wei Guan, who has the ability to govern or something, is very strong, and he and Jia Chong are political enemies, shouldn't the emperor let him contain Jia Chong in the court? It's a pity that Sima Yan doesn't have this awareness. As a result, Wei Guan was squeezed out by Jia Chong on the charge of defeating Shu and went to Youzhou to do the assassination.

Now, in the center of the Jin State, Jia Chong and Pei Xiu have formed an alliance and almost control the government of the Jin State. As for his cousin Yang Jun, hehe, young man, you still need time to grow up.

"Your Majesty, I think. The most convenient way to expand the number of household registrations is to learn from Guan Zifeng in Xishu, check the household tax, and redefine the household tax level. ”

"Well, Guan Zifeng's new policy in Xishu has been heard of. However, I have a vast territory and a large population. If you want to thoroughly check the household tax in the country, it is not as easy as the small country of Xishu. ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, so the minister thinks that it should be piloted in two or three places first. Then push it away gradually. ”

"Well, Shangshu Ling, this is the words of old Chen Mouguo. So where should you start? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister suggests that one county be selected from the northern border area, the eastern rear area, and the confidant of the imperial court to be used as a pilot. In this way, there is comprehensiveness. ”

"Good! Ji Yan, you think very thoughtfully. Well, this matter will be handed over to Shang Shutai. What I mean is that this year's winter farming season will start the inventory, and we will do it quickly, and strive to finish it before next year's spring ploughing. ”

"Your Majesty, please......"

"Wait!"

"Huh? Marquis Linjin, what is the matter with you? ”

"Dare to ask Shang Shuling, what are the three specific places of these three places, and which are the specific three counties? Can you elaborate? ”

Hey, this Yang Jun is not a stupid fork. I even know how to ask which counties it is. Hehe, you also know that Jia Chong and I are temporarily in alliance against you. Yes, I just want to use your Yang family as a pilot to check household taxes.

"Back to the words of the Marquis of Jin. Xiu's initial vision was Yan County in Youzhou, Donghai County in Xuzhou, and Hanoi County in Sizhou. Does the Marquis of Linjin have any opinions? ”

"Whew~~ I, I have no opinion."

This Pei Xiu, is he really selfless or stupid? Hanoi County is the nest of the Pei family. How can you cut yourself with the first slash?

"Eh, Shang Shuling Gong Zhong Ti Guo is enough, I think the first batch of household taxes should not be carried out in Hanoi County. Well, let's choose a county in the heartland, right? Let's go to Hongnong-gun! When Yang Jun was still relieved that Pei Xiu had not chosen Hongnong County, Sima Yan suddenly spoke, instantly making his mood fall from heaven to hell.

"Your Majesty! You can't! ”

"Hmmm! Why not?! ”

"Uh......"

"Ah, Marquis of Linjin, I remembered. Hongnong-gun is your hometown, right? Could it be that your Yang family concealed and embezzled a large number of national hukou in Hongnong? ”

"Well, there's a little shade for this, but a lot of it, it's far from it."

"Isn't that the end of it? Didn't you see Shang Shuling start from his own house as soon as he opened his mouth? As the queen's adoptive father, the Marquis of Linjin must have the responsibility to share the worries of the country. ”

"Uh, no, obey."

Hahaha, little one, you don't know the new emperor yet. He's the kind of kind of kind person who is grateful if you treat him well. To deal with this kind of boss, the most basic thing is to retreat as advance. Young man, you have a lot to learn.

"Well, Ji Yan, this matter is settled. So, in addition to checking the household tax, do you have any other suggestions? ”

"Your Majesty. It's embarrassing to say. Gonglu and I thought about it, but we still couldn't help but continue to learn from Guan Zifeng in Xishu. We want to implement the land occupation order that Xishu has just begun to promote. ”

"Well, I have already read the full text of the Xishu Zhantian Order sent by Jin Cao. A very good idea indeed. However, I thought that in an area like Xishu, where there are more mountains than plains, it is okay for a man to be taxed on 20 acres of land. But my Dajin is located in the Central Plains, and some of them are wastelands that are conducive to reclamation. Is the standard of 20 acres a little lower? ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, so what does Your Majesty think is the upper limit of taxation for my Great Jin Dynasty's land occupation order?"

"Fifty acres. Fifty acres is the upper limit for adult men and thirty acres for women. Men between the ages of ten and twenty are the same as thirty acres. Women under the age of twenty are not taxed. ”

"Hmm...... As a result, the income of my Dajin's treasury will rise by at least fifty percent next year. If the household tax is well checked, the population will also grow substantially, and the minister has no objection. ”

"Well, what about the Che Rider General?"

"There is no objection to the minister."

"Good, then Shang Shutai will make relevant edicts. Starting from next year, the land occupation order will be fully launched! ”
