Chapter 333: The Direction of the Family (3)
After saying so much in one breath, Rao is Guan Yi is still healthy and a little tired. He took a rough breath and took the bowl of tea and drank it to himself. Only the representatives of the families below sat there in a daze.
To be honest, for the result of Ji Han winning Yongliang, Zhang, Wei, Hu and other first-class families in Yongliang are extremely dissatisfied. The second-rate families headed by Huangfu are in a more complicated mood. But it doesn't matter if it's dissatisfied, it's complicated. It is a fait accompli that the political situation in Yongliang is about to change the rules of the game, and the heads of each family can only pinch their noses to admit this fact.
Of course, acknowledging this fact is not the same as accepting it. In fact, the heads of all families have the same thing in mind: if Guan Yi's policy seriously harms their interests, they will adopt various ways to resist - not sending scholars to the office, all kinds of stubborn resistance when the government checks the household tax, or all kinds of laziness of the officials and even deliberately cruelty to the people and provoke the people's revolt.
And that's just the first step. The next step is to either connect with Liu Chan and find a way to get Guan Yi down. Either hook up with the Jin State and expect the Sima family to liberate them again.
But they never thought that Guan Yi would be such a bachelor, so he simply gathered them together, and openly and honestly put those things that everyone knew in their hearts, but they were unanimous and tacit, and said them openly.
To be honest, their hearts were shaken, and they agreed that Guan Yi had a point. He also believes that if, according to Guan Yi, competition is appropriately introduced, it will be beneficial to all families and ethnic groups. But! They still don't want to!
This is normal, and this is a typical manifestation of the easier said than done. It's like in modern society, everyone knows that if you want to stay in shape, you must first control your mouth. But when friends are clamoring to go out and masturbate tonight, how many of them will be able to control themselves?
I can't even control my mouth, let alone the people of such a big family collectively change their concepts?
Of course, Guan Yi would not be so naΓ―ve, thinking that his bitter persuasion could make this group of guys wake up.
So, after resting for a while, he continued to talk to himself.
"I just talked about the inspection system and the nine-product Zhongzheng system, and then Guan wants to talk about household tax. Guan knows that in a place suitable for farming, people and land are the foundation of everything, and you are so opposed to the inspection system, don't you just want to monopolize the official career, and then use power to protect and obtain more people and land? Therefore, you oppose the household tax clearance, and Guan expressed his understanding. β
Of course, Guan said that he understood, but he couldn't accept it. Because Guan is the great Sima of this country, he records Shangshushi. If the household tax is not strictly checked, where will the country's food come from? Where do the soldiers come from? Therefore, in February next year, after the spring ploughing in Yongliang begins, Guan will send a large number of soldiers to conduct an inventory from house to house. β
"There is no doubt that if Guan does this, you will be dissatisfied. But think about it, right? Han does not check the household tax? Jin won't check it? The puppet emperor Sima Yan is now reiterating the fifth-class lord system, but he is not like his father, giving everyone a name to seize the country's homesteaders. Rather, the population of each family was to be collected according to the rank of the knighthood. It is the most nourishing country of Wu, where the butcher's knife has been raised high, isn't it because there are too many people in the hands of the family there? β
"Therefore, it is not the business of my Han family to check the household tax. Jin and Wu are both doing it. Comparatively speaking, my big man is a little milder...... If you think that Guan doesn't like to kill people like Sun Yuanzong of Wu State, hum, Guan doesn't mind destroying a few three clans to show you. Some of the heads of the family and the patriarchs here today, you have been exchanging letters with the Kanto region frequently these days, and you have even reported to Luoyang in every detail the information on the mobilization of our Han troops, the dredging of ditches, and the provision of relief for work. Do I really not know anything about it? Hehe, but why don't I stop it? Well, these things are of little value, and the puppet emperor will know it if he knows it. There are some things he can't learn if he wants to. Second, if you conspire against Guan in the future, Guan wants to kill you, and there is an excellent excuse! β
Having said this, the atmosphere of the entire venue changed suddenly, and some timid family patriarchs actually began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Hey, it is really born in sorrow and died in peace, under the system of Jiupin Zhongzheng system, which completely protects the interests of the family. Even the families in the war-torn land of Yongliang have degenerated like this. If the elite and elite of the entire nation continue to degenerate like this, it will be strange if they can stop the alien races that have produced many outstanding people! β
With a long sigh, Guan Yi spoke again: "Everyone, what you just said, Guan doesn't want to make him a reality. As long as you can cooperate with Guan Mou in implementing the inspection system and checking the household tax starting next year, we will certainly get along very happily. β
"Don't dare, we will definitely cooperate with Da Sima to innovate the Yongliang Land." Half of it is that Guan Yi is really reasonable, and half of it is that the situation is stronger than people. So at this time, all the heads of the families leaned down in unison and expressed their submission to Guan Yi.
"Hehe, having said that, Guan knew that everyone was unhappy in their hearts. The following words are not Guan Yi, who is talking to you. It is the great Sima of the Han Dynasty who speaks to you. β
"I'll ask Da Sima to show me down."
"First, in the last twenty days or so of the year, the counties elected the superintendent. What this official means is that as long as there is nothing particularly out of the ordinary during the current Taishou and the county magistrate during his term of office, he will still focus on stability. However, in the future, local administrators are not allowed to use local people. The post supervisor of each county must be a local scholar. In the past, the post superintendent used to patrol the counties on behalf of the assassin or the county guard to investigate corruption and lawlessness. Now the official is going to add a clause to the superintendent: the right to play on the curtain. That is, the superintendent can supervise the Taishou or the history of the assassin at the same level. has the right to write directly to the Great Sima Mansion of the Han Dynasty and Shangshutai. In this way, it can be somewhat ensured that in the implementation of the probation system in the future, the work of promoting filial piety and honesty in each county will be relatively fair. β
As soon as these words came out, the representatives of the family who were still dissatisfied in their hearts suddenly opened their eyes with laughter: the justice of the fart. The superintendent has the right to supervise the Taishou, is he not afraid? So isn't it very simple to ask for a filial piety quota for the superintendent? And the governors of each county are clearly locals, so isn't that our family? In this way, filial piety and honesty are also guaranteed.
These guys are laughing, and Guan Yi is also laughing in his heart: The postal supervisor has the right to supervise, but I don't have the final say on whether the report handed in is implemented or not? Besides, even if he is too conservative to give face to the superintendent, he recommends the son of the local family as filial piety. But these guys all have to come to Chang'an to pass my pass.
This is a routine of giving a piece of candy after hitting the board, which can be regarded as a compromise by Guan Yi to the local family in the inspection system.
Then the official proceeded to the second article. After next year's household tax check, each household can confirm the number of tenant farmers and slaves in its household. After that, the household tax and the poll tax are paid accordingly. The household tax clearance action is carried out every three years. β
After saying this, the various families were even happier: the meaning of Guan Yi's words was understood in three layers. First, it doesn't matter how much they find out next year, the Ji Han government will not recover their tax evasion arrears based on the number of people they have registered in the Jin State government at all levels before. Second, each family can calculate for itself to see how many tenants can be retained to maximize their benefits under the existing hierarchical household tax policy of Jihan. Instead of more than the previous government registered, the population will be taken away by the government. Third, the three-year check means that once the household tax is checked once, the population can be desperately expanded in the next three years.
They were laughing, and Guan Yi was also laughing: After all, the Great Han had just taken this place, how could he use the data of the Jin Kingdom to collect the taxes of the Great Han? As for the triennial check? Hmph, with my dignified traveler here, in the past three years, the life of ordinary yeoman farmers will definitely be more comfortable than that of tenant farmers in various family estates, how will you expand the estate when the time comes? Hiding more people?
"Ladies and gentlemen, last night you bid for the right to sell Yongliang, and the transaction price was at least more than fifty percent cheaper than that of the eight states of Kanto and the three states of Eastern Wu, and at this point, Guan took care of you very much. According to the consistent profit of my Fuxing Society, if you win a county monopoly, you will make a profit of no less than 10 million yuan in a year? If you farm the land, I don't know how much land and serfs will be needed to earn it for you? So, you have to cherish this power. After all, the monopoly right in this region is not a lifetime if you buy it, but a change every three years. β
"Giggle~!" As soon as Da Sima said this, the families who were still snickering below were like chickens caught in their throats, and they couldn't scream anymore after a short abnormal noise.
"Well, there's more. Last night, Guan talked with seven exotic merchants all night. Fang knew that today's Western Regions is really a borderless land. A city-state with a population of 70,000 or 80,000 dares to claim the title of king? If the heads of the family take advantage of this monopoly and accumulate a certain amount of wealth. Organize a reclamation group to enter the Western Regions...... It's hard to say about unifying the Western Regions, but it's not easy to occupy thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and be a king of 100,000 people......"
Pick up the teacup and raise your head to drink the last bit of tea in the cup. Guan Yi put the teacup down heavily: "Good words and bad words, the words have been said, the meeting is over!" β
