"The foreign minister of the Great Han Dynasty is a condor archer, and the Great Sima Mansion is engaged in Du Zhen, and he meets His Majesty Wu State."

"Hehehe, the envoys of the Shu Dynasty have worked hard from afar. Well? Both envoys are from Yizhou? ”

"His Majesty Lao asked, the foreign minister shoots the eagle, and his ancestral home is Fufeng County, Yongzhou. However, he has grown up in Yizhou since the day the foreign minister was born, so it is not surprising that the accent of Yizhou is beneficial. ”

"Foreign minister Du Zhen, a native of Chengdu, Shu County."

"Hahahaha~~~ Okay, Wu Shu has been a diplomatic relationship for more than 40 years, and there are actually two natives of Yizhou as envoys. This is truly unprecedented! ”

Okay, big brother, you are so openly mocking me about the factional struggle of the Han Dynasty, and the two of us really can't say anything except laughing.

"Two envoys, did you see the envoy of the Jin Kingdom when you went to the palace just now?"

Of course I saw it, you did it on purpose: "Back to Your Majesty, I saw it." ”

"Hey, this Jin Kingdom is still very polite, a general, a Huangmen squire. What a powerful person. ”

"Hehehe, Your Majesty." At this time, it was the eagle archery who spoke: "The enemy should be humble and wronged, and it is indeed necessary to work face. And when two allies visit each other's homes, shouldn't anyone who comes should be entertained with good wine and meat? ”

"Hahahaha~~ It's fun to shoot the book. So shoot the book, when you come here, do your majesty and Da Sima have anything to say to me? ”

"It's nothing. It's just an ordinary visit between allies. ”

"Humph! The messenger is not telling the truth. Two years ago, when your country was facing the disaster of national destruction, our country mobilized its national forces and launched a full-scale attack on the puppet Wei in Jingzhou and Yangzhou. If we hadn't contained the two or three hundred thousand troops of the Puppet Wei, the Puppet Wei would have been able to increase the number of troops by more than 100,000 again to attack your country. At that time, even if your country's Great Sima had the ability, he couldn't stop it! It can be said that our country has contributed to the survival of your country. And what about your country? Before the battle of Yang'anguan began, he was busy increasing troops in Padang County. Such an act of your country really chills my country, which is an ally. ”

"Hehehe, Your Majesty, the foreign minister is telling the truth. Our country increased its troops to Padang the year before last. In essence, it is the same as your country sending money to South China in recent years. There's nothing good to be true. ”

In fact, although the Han-Wu alliance was generally friendly, there was no shortage of rivalries and filths between them. Eastern Wu often sent money and grain to some tribes in the southern middle of Shu Han, and even sent military instructors to train the young and strong of these tribes. Then they were encouraged to start a rebellion. Wasting Shu Han's national strength. Of course, the various rebellions in Jiaozhou in Eastern Wu, you have to say that there is no shadow of Shu Han in this. Estimates are also impossible.

"Hmph, your envoy is sharp-toothed, and he doesn't lose to Zong Deyan."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

The rest is gone. Because the rulers of both sides are not fools, and they know to each other in their hearts the necessity of the continued existence of the Han-Wu Alliance. Therefore, the Condor and Du Zhen took a trip to Eastern Wu, just to express the importance that Shu Han attaches to this alliance - who makes Shu Han's current comprehensive national strength still the weakest among the three kingdoms?

On the other side, in the Chengdu court, another audience is also going on.

"The Great Jin Dynasty Sima Shibao, serving Xun Xun, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty."

It can be said that due to the hasty ascension of the Sima family, there are very many voices of dissatisfaction at the bottom, and there are many internal problems that need to be solved urgently. Therefore, the newly-born Jin Kingdom urgently needs a time to recuperate. Therefore, this time, the envoy of the Jin State to visit Shu Han put his posture very low: for the first time, he publicly admitted that this regime in Yizhou was Han and no longer Shu.

Guan Yi, who was standing at the bottom left of Liu Chan, looked at the stone bud in the center of the main hall, and almost couldn't hold back and laughed: Hey, if this master hadn't sold his 20,000 armors for money, it would be difficult to say what this Xindu War would look like.

"The messenger has come from afar. I don't know if the new emperor of the Jin Kingdom has anything to say to me? ”

"Your Majesty, my emperor obeyed the will of heaven and had no choice but to ascend the throne on behalf of Wei under the bloody plea of thousands of subjects. Now that the Great Jin Dynasty has been established, there is really no reason for the conquest between the Han and Wei dynasties to continue. Therefore, our emperor proposed that the two sides form an alliance and stop the war. ”

"This matter has been settled in our country, but. Is there anything else the messenger has to say? ”

"Your Majesty, my emperor also said that if Your Majesty has the idea of taking Jingzhou back. I am willing to support it! ”

"Huh? Hahahaha~~~ Da Sima, what do you think about this? ”

"Hehe, let your envoy know that even if we want to get Jingzhou, we don't need your country's help."

In short, I only admit to signing an armistice agreement with you, but I do not sign an alliance at the level of a military alliance. Anyway, the situation is clear: everyone needs time to sort things out at home. So now everyone doesn't want to fight. But when whoever finishes the adjustment first, it's going to be torn apart!

……

With the envoys of the Jin Kingdom, Shu Han and other countries running back and forth, the three kingdoms of Han, Jin, and Wu finally ushered in a short period of peace. Guan Yi and Sun Hao have more time and stronger determination to deal with some stubborn diseases and problems in their own country. And Sima Yan finally had time to clean up the mess left by his father—no, it was the mess he made himself.

This Jin Empire is undoubtedly the strongest among the Three Kingdoms in terms of comprehensive strength. But it is also the most problematic.

It is not wrong to say that he is a nascent empire, after all, it has only been a little more than a month since the founding of the country. But he wouldn't be wrong to say that he was an old, corrupt zombie that smelled of shrouds. Because of the Wei, Jin, and Chan dynasties, although in this process, the Sima family wiped out many people's three clans. But this number of heads is still too small compared to the sacrifices needed for the innovation of a dynasty.

He almost completely accepted all the clans of Cao Wei, and because of the need to usurp the throne, he had to indulge some of the clans and cultivate some new ones at the same time. He also indulged his relatives without restraint. Therefore, in October of the year 265, all the autumn grain in the huge land was put into storage, and all kinds of taxes were counted. Shang Shu ordered Pei Xiu to give Sima Yan an extremely miserable data.

"Your Majesty, the autumn harvest of the first year of Taishi has ended. In this autumn harvest, the imperial court has accumulated 25.2 million stone of grain and 15.8 billion yuan. ”

Sounds like a lot, doesn't it? This income is more than ten times that of the reign of Fei Yi of Shu Han. It's a pity that Emperor Jin has a great country, a lot of income, and a lot of expenses.

"After deducting all kinds of expenses and expenses, and calculating all kinds of losses. What was actually put into storage was 6.3 million stone of grain and 3.5 billion yuan of money. Combined with last year's surplus, there is now a total of 11.6 million stone of grain in the state treasury, with 8.3 billion yuan. ”

"This, Shang Shuling, what's going on? How is it so much? ”

"Your Majesty, the main reason is that this year's new dynasty is established, and a large number of rewards will be given to the ministers."

In fact, Pei Xiu didn't say something: more than 30 princes are newly sealed, nearly 50 county dukes, and there are also freaks like county marquis...... This expenditure is heaven-high!

Sima Yan is not a stupid person, of course he understands what Pei Xiu's words mean: "So, how many hukou is on my Dajin civil register now?" How many fields are there? ”

"The household registration on the civil register of the first year of my Great Jin Tai is 4.2 million, and the registered land is 12,000,200,000 mu. On average, each person has 30 acres of land. However, Your Majesty, this year is mainly the princes and county kings who have just established the country. So the households in their fiefdoms still belong to the state this year. Its output also belongs to the state. Next year, it is estimated that there will not be so much. ”

"Huh? That Shang Shuling, you give me the calculation. How much revenue will we have next year? ”

"It is calculated according to the fact that all the fiefs of the existing princes, county kings, county dukes, and county princes are not taxed. Next year, the number of people who pay taxes to the imperial court will be reduced to 3.35 million, and the number of registered fields will be reduced to about 90 million mu. This income is only about 18 million stone grain and 10 billion yuan. And next year, we will start to distribute money to the newly crowned princes, county kings, county princes, etc. Therefore, next year, it is estimated that the surplus of the imperial court will not exceed three million stone grain and 1.5 billion. ”

(Guan Yi: I'm laughing to death.) With such a big family, the surplus of the whole year is estimated to be less than mine! ）

"This, that's not right! Ji Yan. Although I have newly entitled many princes, dukes, and marquises, I have also taken back all the fiefs of county marquis, township marquis, and pavilion marquis that Cao Wei had previously rewarded. Why is there so much difference between this in and out? ”

What's so strange about this? A county marquis of Cao Wei was a thousand households when it was sealed, about three or four thousand people. Even if it is later cumulatively sealed, it is a great matter of ten thousand households. But what is the concept of your crown prince? 30,000 households, 50,000 households, more than 100,000 people are gone with one mouth! If this family is like this, it will be all destroyed in a few years!
