After Guan Yi freshened up, he met Zhuge Zhan in the original Guan Tong's study.

Zhuge Zhan sat on the main seat unceremoniously, and Guan Yi was resentful but still sat down with a smile on his face. Accompanying the guests was the old man Liao.

Liao Hua and Guan Yi didn't actually leave after talking about Guan Yi's direction just now. Instead, he was entrusted by Guan Yi to do the ideological work of Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Wu, and Mrs. Liu—just as later generations of Beijingers felt that all parts of the country were in the countryside. In Shu Han, people who have lived in CD for a long time take it for granted that the entire Shu Han is barren mountains and mountains except for CD. If the three old ladies don't communicate well in advance, then it will take a lot of effort to get the appointment of the imperial court down, and after the three old ladies and even Her Royal Highness the princess over there shouted that the imperial court abused the meritorious heroes - it would be embarrassing.

Liao Hua finally appeased the three old ladies, so that the wives reluctantly accepted Guan Yi's arrangement to go out of the county. Here Zhuge Zhan came to visit. So Mrs. Huang hurriedly asked the house slave to call Guan Yi to come out to meet the guests.

The Guan family is a martial arts heirloom, and the house slave or something will also be able to make a move and a half. The house slave who came to pass the word saw Guan Yi enter the realm of forgetting things and me, and knew that his master's martial arts breakthrough was just around the corner. So I didn't dare to bother, and hurried back. Of course, Liao Hua was overjoyed when he heard the news, but he felt that it was not good to forgive Zhuge Zhan outside, so he took Zhuge Zhan to the place where Guan Yi performed martial arts. Zhuge Zhan also gave a detailed explanation in advance, and Zhuge Zhan also expressed his understanding - as a result, I don't know if this guy was intentional or unintentional, anyway, Guan Yi was interrupted by Sheng Sheng when he was about to break through - fortunately, this is not a martial arts novel, and there is no such thing as any skill backlash. But Liao Hua and Guan Yi both know that if they want to find such a feeling, it depends on luck.

Zhuge Zhan did not interrupt Guan Yi's shame at all to break through the opportunity. Instead, he opened his mouth very bluntly: "Zifeng, Zixu died in battle, and you will inherit the title of Marquis of Hanshouting." This duke was the first marquis to be crowned by the first emperor. You have to do it well, don't insult the prestige of this lord. ”

Who are you? Teach people as soon as you come up?

"Whoa! Yi remembered the teachings of the servants. ”

Looking at Guan Yi's low eyebrows, Zhuge Zhan was very satisfied. After brushing his beard, he spoke: "I came to the house three days ago, and I happened to meet you and fainted. I have failed to give you an account. Today I heard that you have recovered, and I hastened to come. ”

"Tired of serving many times, Yi felt deeply guilty. I don't know what the waiter commands? ”

"Well, what I want to say to you is that the funeral of the son is almost done. The imperial court wants to pursue Zi Xu, and also make arrangements for Zifeng's attack on the lord. Zifeng will also be given the position. In the matter of position, I would like to warn Zifeng, don't think about it! ”

Don't think that your surname Zhuge is very powerful! There are many examples of tiger fathers and dogs! Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will immediately push you to the ground and destroy your chrysanthemum! Cucumbers, of course!

"Don't dare, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace. Whatever the court gives, Guan Yi will take. If the court does not give it, Guan Yi will never ask for it. ”

"Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en? That's a good statement. Zifeng has been growing in knowledge recently. Well, get down to business. Today, Your Majesty and Shang Shuling have talked about you. His Majesty's intention is to attack the Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion, and the Guan family will be sealed by one hundred and fifty households. After the expiration of the three-month filial piety period, he served as the left protector. ”

You don't know that there is a sentence behind the thunder and rain dew called willow and Mouton, which is not a concubine, right? Big idiot! Also, when the President and Mr. Prime Minister are talking, of course you can hear it as a confidential secretary, but you are really a stupid X to show that you are well-informed in such a hurry! But Emperor Liu Chan is really good to the Guan family. On the basis of the original, another 150 households were allocated to the family, that is, four or five hundred people! How much population does the Shu Han government actually control now? Less than 300,000 households, one million people in the sky (1). Liu Chan is really generous to his family.

"Your Majesty is too kind to the Guan family! Yi is ashamed and dare not be! ”

"Well, so I hope Zifeng doesn't accept this reward."

"Obey the orders of the servants."

"Hmm." Seeing that Guan Yi readily agreed. Zhuge Zhan was also very satisfied: "Regarding your whereabouts, I discussed with Gong Xi (Dong Ju) and Changyuan (Fan Jian). Since Yanxi, the imperial court's taxes have been less than one day a day, and the official civil register has been thinner day by day. The root cause is nothing more than the embezzlement of small people by the big families, causing the people to enter the estates of the big families and become domestic slaves, thus disappearing from the civil register of the imperial court. ”

However, Jiang Boyu conquered Cao Wei every year, and always asked the court for a large amount of money and grain. After the battle was over, the court of the fallen soldiers had to pay for it. The disabled should be provided for in old age. The imperial treasury is gradually overwhelmed......"

This guy said a lot of nonsense, and after Guan Yi heard it, his ears were automatically adjusted to a closed state, and finally said what Guan Yi wanted to hear: "What we mean by waiting is that I hope Zifeng can be the county commander of the upper county or the county guard of the lower county." Inventory of acres of land, curb annexation, and uncover a number of moths that ignore the laws and regulations of the imperial court, so as to enrich the treasury...... We also know that this is a grievance for Zifeng. However, the country is in a difficult situation and the people's livelihood is adjusted. After Zifeng became the founding minister, please give up your own interests and take on this responsibility! ”

Well, although your hopes are actually the same as my intentions. But when you talk to Lao Tzu like this, Lao Tzu is really unhappy! Also, why do you want Lao Tzu to sacrifice? Why don't you want the Zhang family to sacrifice, don't want the Dong family to sacrifice, why don't you Zhuge family sacrifice yourself?

Forget it, the situation is stronger than people. Who made the father of the family called Zhuge Gang.

"As commanded! Guan is duty-bound! ”

"Very good. In this way, please ask Zifeng to resign from His Majesty's reward at that time, and then submit a letter to ask for the county. So I took my leave. ”

……

Peaceful, very quiet. Sending Zhuge Zhan out of the door, Guan Yi and Liao Hua returned to the study, and neither spoke to each other. After a long while, Guan Yi suddenly got up and slammed a vase in the study to the ground: "Vertical!" It's too much of a deception! ”

"Hey, Zifeng. Although Zhuge Siyuan was too arrogant. But since this person came out, he has not used his power for personal gain externally, and he can be serious about the Zhuge family's family internally, so that he can abide by the rules and not fill his own pockets. Kind of a gentleman. ”

"Uncle, of course Yi knows that this guy is a gentleman in morality. But such a gentleman is really annoying! ”

"Well, of course I know that you are angry. However, your answer in front of Zhuge Siyuan just now was very good. In this way, it can be regarded as coincided with your intentions. This matter should be done. ”

"Well, I have to be tired of Uncle Zu to help Yi find a staff member."

"Well, that's my business. You can go out after the seventh. Only after the expiration of the three-month filial piety period can he take office. During this time, I will arrange for you to meet with some young talents. ”

"Thank you so much, uncle."

"It's okay, it's getting late, I'll go back."

"Yi send to uncle."

Population issues in the Three Kingdoms period:

In this book, the number of people controlled by pig's feet is the basis of pig's feet' money, food, and military strength. So here is a detailed description of the population.

The population of the Chinese Empire has always been a headache for historians. This is because there is a considerable gap between the population on the country's books and the actual population of society.

The population on the books of the state, with the exception of officials, merchants, and artisans, was mainly homesteaders. This is to pay taxes to the state. Generally speaking, the actual population of society is always greater than the population on the books of the state: those who are hidden in the big families, those who are deep in the mountains and forests are not within the scope of the effective rule of the state, and those who erase their names from the books of the state by various means to evade taxes. And so on and so forth.

Generally speaking, when the country's politics are clear and the central government is strong, the country's book population and the actual social population are relatively close. The opposite is very different.

Specific to the Three Kingdoms period. When Shu Han destroyed the country, there were 940,000 mouths in the national account. Cao Wei Chan had a population of 4,430,000 in the state account at the time. At the time of the destruction of the country, the population of the state account was 2.3 million.

Note that this is only the population on state accounts. And what about the actual population? I don't know. However, according to the "General History of the Chinese Population", Shu Han has a population of 4 million, Eastern Wu has a population of 5 million, and Cao Wei has a population of 13 million.

During the reign of Zhuge Liang, Shu Han suppressed the landlords and protected the yeoman farmers. The state controls a population of at least one million or more. In the later period of the Shu Han Dynasty, Chen Yuan was in power, the implementation rate of the national policies of the Shu Han Dynasty decreased, the powerful forces rose, and the annexation of yeoman farmers intensified, so there was a situation in which the actual population of the Shu Han Dynasty was growing, but the population controlled by the government was declining, and the power of the state was also weakening.
