Chapter 157: Game of Thrones (1)

"So, Zhongtong, please go. Just because there are many affairs, I will not send them, forgive my sins. ”

"Don't dare, Dinglie, please stay."

On January 25, 264 AD, just as Jian Jian and the others were advancing towards Luoyang. In the Yanai County of Guanghan County, there is already a lot of people.

There is no him, because Guan Yi set up the "Da Sima Kaifu Preparation Office" here.

When the news of Yang'anguan's victory reached Chengdu, there was a brief period of consternation and silence throughout Chengdu. And then there's the ultimate madness.

At one time, more than 100,000 enemy troops were eliminated and captured, and more than 200,000 people were captured with them. This kind of victory, since the founding of Shu Han, has never been precedented.

Before Guan Yi's victory, Shu Han's biggest victory was Jiang Wei's Battle of Taoshui, which annihilated 30,000 of Cao Wei's Yongzhou army at one time.

Don't say that Shu Han didn't have it, even Dongwu didn't fight such a battle, Lu Xun's battle of Shiting was already against the sky, but it was only 20,000 or 30,000 enemies.

Cao Wei himself fought such examples: Sima Yi destroyed Liaodong, Biqiu Jian destroyed Goguryeo, etc., and the number of his prisoners far exceeded this number. But that, after all, is a country that destroys people. The country is dead, and of course there are no more prisoners.

In any case, when the news reached Cheng*du. The people of Chengdu spontaneously celebrated once since the victory of the new capital. Once again, all the liquor in the shops in Chengdu was consumed cleanly.

And the bureaucratic class of Shu Han also went crazy at this time - everyone knew that Guan Yi and the Fuxing Society under his command had no one to stop the rise of Shu Han. As long as this lord is happy, no one can say a word even if he is the prime minister - Prime Minister Zhuge has five Northern Expeditions, and he has never fought such a beautiful war of annihilation!

Then, after confirming that Guan Yi had returned to Yucheng. The officials and families of Shu Han sent their own representatives one after another, and they poured into the city in a swarm.

With the urine nature of the traverser, he didn't have the patience to do these specific things. So what to usher in, and the trivial matters that connected the vertical and horizontal, he handed them all over to Chen Shou and Sun Gang. Then, Chen Shou and Sun Gang were tragic.

Now, the pavilion outside the county government has long been overcrowded, and Du Zhen of the county government has urgently built more temporary pavilions on the vacant land outside the county government, but even so, it is still not enough. In the end, Chen Shou patted his head: Go and take out the tent of the army in the army!

Not to mention, as soon as this tent is taken out, everyone will go to the tent instead of the gazebo: otherwise, if you sit in the gazebo, which has only one roof, you can see me, and I can see you. How embarrassing that is.

"Brother, that's the general situation. Most of the people from Jingzhou and Dongzhou are seeking officials. Most of the people in Yizhou are here to find out the news. ”

"Hmph, it's because these guys have left their heels with Deng Ai." Guan Yi sneered: "These things are not the point, the point is whether they accept our new tax system?" ”

Yes, although Guan Da Sima has not really taken the position yet, he has already begun to manipulate Da Sima's heart.

The so-called new tax system is not new at all. He is a continuation of the regular tax system since the Han Dynasty. Guan Yi Nianzi is actually one: "household tax".

The so-called household tax refers to the tax that your family should pay to the state. This tax is almost non-existent for ordinary people: because it is a progressive tax.

For example, if there are three people in your household registration book, then you should pay three cents to the state every year for the household tax.

What if you have more than seven servants in your family of three? I'm sorry, but it's up to 10 people, so please pay 50 yuan to the state according to the specification of 5 cents per person.

If you are a large landowner, in addition to servants, there are tenant farmers who depend on you, then it depends on how many. If there are more than 100 people, each person will be levied at the rate of 100 yuan. If there are more than 1,000 people, it will be levied at the rate of 1,000 yuan per person...... (This is an analogy, the actual proportion is not so exaggerated)

Got it? The central government set such a tax to avoid the unrestrained expansion of the family: in this era of low productivity, the surplus value that a person can create is limited, provided that there is a household tax. It's not a good thing that there are too many servants, tenants, generals, etc. in the house. This is a good policy for the state to strengthen the centralization of power, limit the size of the family, and protect the yeoman farmers.

But whether a policy is good or not, the content itself is only a prerequisite. The key is to see how well this policy is implemented.

In Liu Bei's era, Fa Zheng and Liu Ba were ruthless people, and the household tax system was implemented very well. The Yizhou family is very restricted.

In the era of Zhuge Liang, it was even more severe. And Zhuge Liang himself also leads by example, so the household tax is also implemented very well.

During the reign of Jiang Wan and Fei Yi, although the rulers themselves were very strict. But because of the lack of prestige, this policy began to relax.

During the Chen Di period, this obvious policy began to be abandoned. As for now...... Hehe......

But fortunately, the discipline of Shu Han officials has not fallen to the level of the late Eastern Han Dynasty: obviously there are few people in this family, but they just order a large household for others and pay extremely high household taxes. Obviously, there are tens of thousands of servants in this family, but it is said that there are only five or six people in this family.

However, at least for now, due to the infinite weakening of the regulating effect of the household tax, the cost of the family in the process of expansion is close to none. This is something that Guan Yi cannot tolerate.

After Guan Yi came to power, the first knife was to cut the tax system. The first step in the tax system is to restore the household tax.

You Yizhou clans have done a lot during this war, and you have also had a lot of tricks in the hands of Lao Tzu. Want me to forgive me? All right! Are you cooperating with me to restore my household tax? Jingzhou people, Dongzhou people want to be officials? All right! Are you cooperative?

"Brother, these are the first batch, and they are all here to test. So there were almost no statements on the spot. Except for a few families such as the Laijia and the Wu family, the envoys of the other families all said that they would go back to ask the head of the family. ”

Speaking of which, although usually Dongzhou faction is weird all day long. But when Shu Han was about to destroy the country, they still stood up bravely. And after the end of the war, they were the first to actively move closer.

Of course, there is a reason for this, because the Dongzhou faction clearly felt the crisis in this war: if the Shu Han perished, they would have lived in Yizhou for more than sixty years, and their descendants would have been multiplying for three or four generations. All of them will be relocated back to their respective ancestral hometowns in accordance with the Jiupin Zhongzheng system. And they have been away from their ancestral places for the longest. If you go back at this time, you don't know what your status will be in your ancestral hometown - it is far worse than the officials sent by Jingzhou to go back!

However, for Guan Yi, it is not enough to take refuge in the Dongzhou faction.

"Well, I'll give them a little more time. If they didn't wake up before the water came out of Chengdu, then I can't blame the knife in my hand for not being able to hold it. ”

At the same time, the Imperial Palace.

"He wants to be a big Sima? Do you want to open a house? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"He still wants me to save money?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Shaoxian, what the hell does he want to do? Is he quite Sima Zhao? Shaoxian, won't you stop it? ”

Seeing Liu Chan's hysterical roar, Huo Yi could only smile bitterly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that if Guan Zifeng is really quite Sima Zhao. Probably I wouldn't have asked His Majesty for that. ”

"Well, that's true."

As a king who has been an emperor for almost forty years, how could Liu Chan not understand the twists and turns: if Guan Yi is aiming to usurp the throne, then the most advantageous way is to force Liu Chan to take the throne and let the current crown prince Liu Xuan come to power at the same time.

But Guan Yi didn't do this, but let Liu Chan continue to stay on the stage. He also put a strong personality and a strong will. This time, he followed the Fuxing Army and accumulated great prestige, and Liu Chen, who was promoted to the throne of the prince. This just proves that Guan Yi has no intention of usurping the throne.

"And what the hell is he trying to do?"

"Your Majesty wants to hear Guan Zifeng's original words?"

"Speak!"

Guan Zifeng said that His Majesty has been in power for many years, and the country has been declining. In this way, it seems that His Majesty is not fit to govern the country. Since this is the case, please ask Your Majesty to go to the harem to take a leisurely tour and give him all the major affairs of the state. If it can't be done, he will naturally die without a place to be buried. If it is done, Your Majesty may be able to be the ancestor (Liu Xiu) in the future. ”

"Hmmm! Hum! What a boldness the shaft has! The old ancestor of their Guan family used to have a bad enough temper before, so that the first emperor and the prime minister had to coax him. This shaft's current temper is even more stinky than that Guan Yunchang! Shaoxian, don't you care? ”

Boss, what do I do? Can I control him?

Seeing that Huo Yi was silent, Liu Chan sighed: "Okay, let him open the mansion as the Great Sima." But, I want to ask Shao to do Shang Shuling first! ”

Boss, aren't you cheating on me? Think about how Sun Qi, a powerful minister who was recently eliminated in Eastern Wu, died? Isn't it that the veteran Ding Feng cooperated with the emperor to put on a Hongmen banquet. You left me in Chengdu, how could Guan Zifeng sleep? He can't sleep, how can I sleep?

"Your Majesty, the minister is old and can't afford this heavy responsibility, so please ask Your Majesty to invite another virtuous person."

"You! Shaoxian, don't you want to think about our old friendship? ”

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't miss the old feelings. This is really the case. Moreover, Your Majesty, the minister also said a confidant: After the king of the northern land became the crown prince, please ask Your Majesty to make the eldest son of the emperor the king of Zhuti. The minister is in Nanzhong, and he can take care of the emperor's eldest son. If Guan Zifeng really has a big rebellious act, Liu's incense can not be extinguished! ”

"This ...... Okay, okay, you all go. Let's go! I don't care about this country. If you want to be the big Sima, you can change it, and if you want to change the prince, you can change it. In the future, I will only be responsible for spending heaven and wine, and I will not care about these mundane things! ”

“…… Uh, Your Majesty......"

"What else is going to happen to the shaft?"

"Guan Zifeng said that he wanted Princess Shangling to be his wife......"

"Knock~~~~"

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Quickly pass on the imperial doctor, Your Majesty has fainted! ”
