The household tax is a very simple and practical policy to curb land annexation and control the size of the family.

Of course, any policy, whether it can be effective. It's all about how well it's executed. The Jin Kingdom was due to the fact that in order to usurp the throne in the past, it consciously relaxed the implementation of the household tax. Soochow is because since Sun Quan, the royal family has always been weak and unable to effectively execute. Shu Han was stabbed to death by Fei Yi, and the central government suddenly lacked the power of the ministers to suppress and relaxed. Therefore, in the past ten years, the families of the three countries have obtained a golden period of development.

Now, the Wei, Jin, and Chan dynasties have finally been completed, and the Jin state has signed an armistice agreement with the Han and Wu countries at the same time. Therefore, Sima Yan finally freed his hands and prepared to impose certain restrictions on the family clans that had swelled more and more in the past ten years. The central governments of Soochow and Shuhan have finally ushered in a strong leader, and they have also begun to emphasize the implementation of the household tax policy.

Everyone knows that whoever thoroughly implements this policy in the three countries will be able to gain the first hand in this fierce competition between life and death.

There is no doubt that among the three countries, Guan Yi is the most relaxed, because Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and others have laid a good foundation for him - the scale of the Shu Han family is a scum compared to Jin and Wu. In addition, he also left him an efficient civil service - although after the degeneration of Chen Yuan and Dong Ju during the administration, after all, the foundation is still there, and it is relatively easy to pull it back.

However, he is also the one who is under the most pressure. There was only one reason: he was a powerful minister and not an emperor. The emperor-led reforms failed and were nothing more than retraction. And if the reform led by the ministers fails, it is really going to lose its head.

Therefore, in order not to be cut off by others, Guan Da Sima was so tired that he was dying all day long. But he returned to Chengdu from Zitong this time, and after accompanying Liu Chan to see Shi Bao, he hurriedly took Huo Zai, Ma Yi, Wang Ji, Lao A and others to Nanzhong.

Speaking of which, the 22 counties of Shuhan are geographically divided into four major blocks. On the west side of the Sichuan Plain are the six counties of Shu, on the other side of the hills and mountains of eastern Sichuan are the five counties of Ba, and to the north of the Daba Mountain are the four counties headed by Hanzhong (Hanzhong, Wudu, Yinping and Wenshan County slightly southwest). In these three blocks, Fuxing Society has shareholders who serve as county guards to control. In the seven counties of Nanzhong, the Renaissance Society did not intervene at all.

This was a political compromise between the Fuxing Society, with the Yuancong faction as its core force, to the Jingzhou faction of Shu Han.

After the death of Yan Yu, Zhuge Zhan and others, the strength of the Jingzhou faction was greatly weakened. But after all, it is the emaciated camel that is bigger than the horse. As the ruling party in Shu Han politics for more than 40 years, the Jingzhou faction still has great influence and control: the Fuxing Society has only won 7 seats in the 22 county guards. The vast majority of the remaining 15 seats are still in the hands of the Jingzhou faction.

Therefore, as the last general of the Jingzhou faction, Nanzhong in charge of Huo Yi, Guan Yi was very wise not to stuff people into it.

However, he is now the Great Sima after all, and his goal is actually the same as Jiang Wei's: the Northern Expedition! As one of the three countries whose comprehensive national strength is still at the tail of the crane, if it wants to go on a northern expedition, it is really necessary to use every ounce of strength throughout the country. As the seven counties of Nanzhong, whose GDP accounts for about one-sixth of Shu Han, whether he is stable or not, whether he fully supports the Northern Expedition or not, are closely related to Guan Yi's life. Therefore, he still has to take a trip to Nanzhong in person.

There are seven counties in the south. Among them, the general scope of Qiqi County is similar to that of today's Guizhou Province. As for Yuewang County, the approximate area is the same as that of Jiapanzhihua City, Liangzhou Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province today. The core area of Zhuti County was the city of Zhaotong in present-day Yunnan Province. The core area of Yunnan County is today's Dali City. The core area of Xinggu County is today's old city. What about Yeongchang-gun? Baoshan, Tengchong and other places, as well as a considerable part of the territory of today's Myanmar.

These six counties are in a ring. Wrap Jianning County, the core county of the Southern Seven Counties, in the middle. The Southern Central Governor's Mansion of Shu Han was located in Wei County, Jianning County (now Qujing City, Yunnan Province).

However, Guan Yi's first stop after entering Nanzhong at this time was not in Wei County, but in Guchang County, the capital of present-day Yunnan Province.

In this era, the water area of Dianchi Lake is much larger than that of later generations. Unfortunately, the current Dianchi Lake is not much better than the industrially polluted Dianchi Lake in later generations - because of Guan Da Sima's copper mining order, the Dianchi Lake and the surrounding mountains have become devastated due to green mountains and clear waters.

In the 21st century, the total population of the three southwestern provinces and one city was 160 million, and now the population of Shuhan is only 4 million (the population on the government roll is even less). So what to say about environmental protection in this day and age is definitely a problem with the brain.

In this era, the first thing to solve is food and clothing!

On the vast Dianchi Lake, Guan Yi and others took several small fishing boats, each gossiping.

"Uncle Fang, for my brother to come this time, he didn't go to Ling Zun to visit first, he wasn't angry, right?"

"Hehe, brother, relax. My father received your letter in advance, and he received your respect. So, that's fine. ”

"Well, that's good. Well, who are you, this boatman? What do you call it? Shall we have a chat? ”

"Back to the nobles, Xiao Lao'er is a Shanren (the predecessor of the Bai people). Name, I don't have a Han surname. It's good for the nobles to call me Mao. ”

"Worms? Do you all think you are a descendant of Chiyou? That's the ancestor of Jingman (Miao). ”

"Do you still know about Chiyou? Little Lao'er thinks that you Han people only know that the lop-eared demon woman invited the Red Dragon Gong and the Yellow Dragon Prince. ”

Lop-eared witch? Probably refers to Nuwa, right? Red Dragon Gong Huang Long Gong, of course, that is Emperor Yan and Yellow Emperor.

"Of course I know Chi You. That's an amazing hero! ”

"Ouch, it's the first time I've heard the Han people praise our ancestors. The noble man's mind is really remarkable. ”

Of course, I'm a traverser: "Mao Chigong, how long has the copper mountain been mined on the south bank of Dianchi Lake?" ”

"Well, I think about it, it should have started last summer. By this fall, it should be more than a year. ”

"What did Mao Chi Gong do for a living before? Farming? Fishing? Or both? ”

"The nobleman sees it very accurately. The little old man is a fisherman. Farming? That's what the Asha (the name given to a woman's lover by a man in the marriage system) does. ”

"Hehehe, I see." The words that Mao Qi said are nothing to people like Huo Zai and Ma Yi who know the local customs very well. But it is difficult for a veteran like Adam to understand - due to the problems of the production environment and productivity, people are still in a matriarchal society, and farming is done by women here. Of course you can't understand it.

After waving his hand lightly and letting Lao Ah Bei speak, Guan Yi asked again: "Mao Chigong, how many Axia do you have?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Hearing this, his gray beard suddenly turned up: "When Xiao Lao'er was young, he was the best at climbing over the wall." Speaking of which, well, there should be no less than ten Asha. ”

Hey, it's good that I didn't bring Jian Wushuang's bastard, otherwise this kid would definitely not leave.

After cleaning up his mood, Guan Yi asked again: "Mao Chigong is fishing, so now the copper mine is mined, polluting the water quality of Dianchi Lake." Does it affect your livelihood? ”

"Well, it had an impact at first. Last summer, those Han Chinese from the far north arrived here. Dig around Dianchi Lake for a while. It made the whole sea dirty and messy. But later they found that there was no mine north of Dianchi Lake, so they concentrated in the south. So now in the northern half of Dianchi Lake, fishing is not affected. Well, no, because the south side is too noisy, the fish are coming to the north, and speaking of which, it is easier to catch fish than before. ”

"Oh, that's good. Well, those pseudo-Wei ...... Ah, no, what about the Han Chinese from the far north? Okay? ”

"Well, it's okay. You're all polite. Hey, I heard they're our captives. If you don't kill them all, you should be thankful to the great god Chiyou. How dare you? ”

"Hehehe, then they came into contact with you, did you get any benefits?"

"Well, there are a lot of benefits. The fish used to be unaffordable, but when they came, the price at least tripled. In the past, a few nephews in Xiao Lao'er's family didn't have anything to do, just being in a daze at home. Now they all go to work in the copper mines opened by the Han people. In the four months of last year and the first nine months of this year, the six cubs could buy more than 100 stone rice when they got their wages back. No less than my sisters farmed and harvested. Xiao Lao'er's eldest sister is going to go to Wei County during the Chinese New Year this year, and I heard that the Yue cloth there sells very cheaply. It's time to make new clothes for the family. Otherwise, when those six stinky boys grow up and don't have new clothes, they won't be able to find Axia. ”

"Huh? You mean, after the group of Han Chinese came......"

"Yes, it's good for those Han people to come. That's not good. The girls in each village like to let that group of Han people do Ah Note. We had several cubs last year who didn't find their Asha. What's more, after our sister here became pregnant, these Han people actually wanted to take their Asha out of the village and take it to the copper mine to make offerings. This is unreasonable! Women don't work, but they still have to enjoy the support of men? What is this called? Also, shouldn't all the children born to a woman be raised by the mother and the child's uncle? When did this father become qualified to raise children? Nobles, these Han people are good at everything, but they are very annoying here! ”
