Chapter 170: Give a candy after killing

In April of 264 AD, the heads of the Xiahou family in Luoyang once again blocked Luoshui. In the Funan River here in Chengdu, there are also more than a dozen heads.

Yes, only a dozen, eleven to be exact.

Of the eighteen powerful families that Guan Yi confiscated, seven were purely economic problems. The other eleven had such political problems as collaborating with the enemy and treason. Guan Yi arrested and killed all the principals of the eleven families. Of the rest, not a single one was killed.

This is not without controversy.

Guan Yi's relatives, brothers, and friends all demanded that these eleven families be dealt with to wipe out the three clans - never suffer in the future! But Guan Yi was unmoved, and only cut off eleven lives.

"Husband, where do you want to put the child in the concubine's body, Fu'er and the concubine's womb?"

"Why does Madame say that?"

"These people collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, of course they should be killed. And according to the Han law or the Shu family, no one can say anything wrong with the three clans that raze them. But you don't! The remnants of the Liu family and the Fei family would not think that this was mercy. When their children grow up, none of them will make assassinating you and avenging their father their only goal in life. If you don't have it, my Guan family will definitely decline again! At that time, the concubines and children ......"

"Yes, husband. My sister is right. Those who achieve great things are not informal, and husbands must not be soft-hearted. Besides, collaborating with the enemy and treason to destroy the three tribes is not wrong anywhere......"

Guan Yi wrapped his left and right hands around and gently hugged the two women in his arms: "Guan Yi is so fortunate to have two ladies treat him wholeheartedly...... But once the extermination of the three clans is opened, it is really difficult to stop. How can I create such a culture within the Han for my own selfishness...... If the children of the Liu family, the Fei family and other families want to kill me in the future, then let them come. There are many things to do as a husband, and there are many things to protect. It's not going to be easily killed. ”

"Husband, you're really stupid. All day long, I think about the country and the future. Didn't you think about yourself, think about the present? Think about our home? ”

"Being a husband is not stupid, it's persistence. Since the ideal of reviving the Han dynasty was made on the bank of the Wujiang River, the husband couldn't take care of himself...... Hey, what is the hatred of these orphans and the possible future assassinations? Twists and turns on the inside, a powerful enemy on the outside...... Since the husband became this big Sima, he has never slept well for a day. Hey, I really don't know how Prime Minister, Jiang Da Sima, and General Fei carried it at the beginning. However, I have done my part, no matter how hard I work, I have to go on. ”

Compared with resolutely killing only the parties concerned and never destroying the three clans, Guan Yi's relatives and friends opposed it, while everyone else was quite in favor. Guan Yi's treatment of economic prisoners has caused even more controversy – his plan has been opposed almost universally.

When the family property of big beetles like Huang Hao and Liu Gan was liquidated. All the high-ranking officials in Shu Han were shaken. Not to mention the hot prince Liu Chen, even Liu Chan, who is now indifferent, has been scolding his mother in the palace for a few days.

Then, there was a great deal of unanimity: these huge greeds should also be killed. Even if the three clans are not wiped out, all the parties concerned will be beheaded, and then all their families will be sold into slavery!

Once again, Guan Yi said no to this mainstream opinion.

As a traverser, as a traverser who was already mentally mature before the traversal, Guan Yi clearly knew that the attitude of later generations of Huaxia towards embezzlers had gone through three stages of sublimation.

The first stage is killing, killing, killing.

The second stage, heavy sentences, occasional killings.

In the third stage, the sentence is generally not too long, and basically no one is killed. However, a certain amount of fines must be added to the complete recovery of the stolen money.

This is a manifestation of social progress.

If the focus on killing ordinary economic crimes is to kill, it may be able to deter some people from being greedy. But it will not deter everyone. Moreover, those who dare to be greedy under such high pressure are extremely stubborn and destructive. To be greedy is to be mad.

The second stage is really just a transition to the third stage. This is actually the least desirable way. Before Guan Yi was reincarnated, he had already seen several corrupt officials: after serving a 'strong' sentence of more than ten years, he came out and became a rich man - this is simply encouraging everyone to be greedy and greedy a lot - it doesn't matter if it happens, the money is still there. After more than ten years in prison, the rest of his life will be prosperous and rich.

The third stage is the most meaningful.

What are the most feared embezzlers? It's not a jail time, but all the proceeds of embezzlement have been confiscated! At that time, the job was gone, the social status was gone, and the money was gone. Just a few years in prison is very good. But what about when it comes out?

This is the best punishment for embezzlers. This can make those powerful people who are about to embezzle feel pressure and shock in their hearts!

Therefore, Guan Yi's punishment for Liu Gan and other simple economic criminals was: confiscate all family property, and exile the whole family to Hanjia County, Wenshan County and other Shu Han ethnic minority areas - waste utilization, increase the proportion of the local Han population.

As for Huang Hao, cough cough, it was purely an accident that the nine thousand years old were dying of thirst - the main reason was that he had been stationed in Ruocheng for a long time, and after returning to Chengdu, the nine thousand years old family became human beings. Otherwise, he would also be preparing to exile Huang Hao's family: people's adaptability is the strongest. These greedy people, when they lost all their wealth, went to a deserted place. With their ingenuity (stupid X can't be a corrupt criminal, at least not for long), they can also contribute to the social and economic development of the backward areas of the penal colony.

Anyway, in this raid, Guan Yi was full, no, it should be said that he was overwhelmed.

Liquidity, as well as a large amount of real estate, almost got 7 billion. Add more than 6 million stone of grain and more than 50,000 people out of thin air......

What is this concept?

In the first year of Emperor Zhen of the Eastern Han Dynasty (146), the Han Empire collected a total of 34.65 million stone in the whole country in that year (15 taxes). The sum of the calculation and the oral tax, that is, the poll tax, is 7.3 billion yuan. And how much population did the Han Empire government control at that time? Five hundred and six million!

And the population of Shu Han's current government is barely one million. And Guan Yi only copied thirteen houses, and he got so many things...... No wonder everyone says corrupt officials should be killed!

However, compared to the upcoming reforms, this amount of money is not enough!

Moreover, because Guan Da Sima started the mode of copying his house as soon as he took office, it has aroused the collective vigilance of the Shu Han elite: What are you going to do? Do you really want to betray your origins and become a servant of the people? Tell you, just in moderation! Otherwise, a national rebellion awaits you!

Therefore, after the people are killed and the house is raided, they have to give these guys a candy to appease them.

On the fifth day of the fourth month of the second year of Yanxing, the Great Sima Mansion issued a new order: the decree on improving salt!

Guan Yi mainly talked about such a thing in this order.

The official feels that there is a big problem with the current salt policy of the country. For example, low production efficiency, serious corruption, and low physical fitness due to people's difficulty in eating salt, etc. Look at Liu Gan, he has only been the captain of Siyan for five years, and he is greedy for this part. Therefore, the salt policy must be changed!

How? The state public ownership of the salt plant is privately owned, and the private person is responsible for production, transportation and sales. The state only sends personnel to count shipments in the salt works, and then taxes them on the spot. As for the tax rate, it is relatively heavy, 20 percent!

At present, there are more than 40 salt farms in Dahan, and each salt field has dozens to hundreds of salt wells. The amount of salt produced by the Great Sima Mansion was also recounted. Now, it is scheduled to start on May 1 to auction these more than 40 salt farms in Chengdu's Dasima Mansion (P.S. Zigong Salt Works does not participate in this auction, he is already the private property of the Fuxing Society). For those who are interested, you can also buy it individually or in a group...... Moreover, we are big men after all. Nominally, it is the most orthodox country in the land of China. Therefore, our salt farm auction is not only for the people of Yizhou, but also for all the people in the thirteen states of Dahan!

This is since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented the national salt monopoly in order to collect more money to support the war against the Xiongnu. Nearly 400 years later, the first regime made it clear that it was willing to leave the saltworks to private management. When the news came out, the magnates of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were collectively shaken! Together, the Shu Han family members who had just expressed their dissatisfaction with Guan Yi once again expressed great appreciation for the Great Sima Mansion.
