It's not the first time Liu Bei has done this kind of thing to give names to his subordinates, so Xi Zhicai didn't get too excited, but said: "Lord, if you really want to do the method of 'adding Ding into the mu', you can't put it forward in person." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded, he fully understood what Xi Zhicai meant, this kind of thing must offend people, so he can't do it himself, he should let the people below carry the black pot for himself, this is also the emperor's mental technique, the so-called "grace to the top, grievance to the minister." ”。

The most typical dumping pot is Cao Cao's grain officer. even sacrificed his head in order to stabilize Cao Cao's military heart, so Liu Bei asked: "Mr. must not do anything about this matter, but I don't know who can share my worries?" ”

Xi Zhicai said: "The lord can rest assured, loyalty has his own plan." ”

Liu Bei raised his hand, and in the end, he just said again: "This matter, Mr. must not do anything, and please cherish Mr. for me, I would rather this matter not succeed, and I must not lose Mr." ”

This is Liu Bei's true words, Liu Bei doesn't know how to fight, so he relies on such a strategist around him to mix in the market, if Xi Zhicai really hangs, Liu Bei is afraid that he will end up like Fu Jian without Wang Jingluo.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei suddenly found that Liu Bei and Fu Jian were really similar, and even Fu Jian compared himself to Liu Bei and compared Wang Meng to Zhuge Liang.

Liu Bei's careful thoughts, Xi Zhicai, or should be called Xi Zhong now, don't know. Xi Zhicai just has the grace to dare Liu Bei to undress and push food, and wants to find someone to come out and carry the black pot.

And this back-handed man, Xi Zhi chose Yang Jun, a native of Hanoi. Since Yang Jun arrived in Qingzhou, he was reused by Liu Bei and was appointed to govern the central government, and the main state ministry selected officials and affairs. Zheng Yi is the two most important adjutants under Liu Bei.

Now Liu Bei's subordinates are also vaguely divided into three factions, the first one should be called the patriarchal faction, headed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, all of whom followed Liu Bei when Liu Bei was not yet a family, and Xi Zhicai is also one of these people. The other two factions are the Qingzhou faction and the Hanoi faction, and you can know who these two factions are just by looking at their names.

Zhizhong engaged in Yang Jun and Beijia engaged in Zheng Yi, respectively, the leaders of the Qingzhou faction and the Hanoi faction, and many people's factions are not very clear, such as Tai Shici, Cui Meng and others are considered to straddle the patriarchal faction and the Qingzhou faction.

In this, the patriarchal faction controlled most of Qingzhou's military power, the Qingzhou faction ranked second, and the Hanoi faction was deliberately supported by Liu Bei, so as not to be hollowed out by the Qingzhou faction of its own administrative power.

Therefore, Xi Zhicai chose Yang Jun to be the backstabber, you know, not everyone is qualified to do this. As the leader of the Hanoi faction, Yang Jun also has the support of some Hanoi scholars, so he is qualified to carry this black cauldron.

Moreover, if the back-to-back man is well-carried, it may not be a kind of qualification and merit.

Xi Zhicai came to visit Yang Jun by car, Yang Jun also knew that Xi Zhicai was Liu Bei's confidant, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he invited Xi Zhicai into the house. first explained what it meant to "add Ding into the mu", and hoped that Yang Jun could report this method to Liu Bei.

Of course, Yang Jun also understands that if this method of "adding Ding into the mu" can really be implemented, it can greatly increase the income of the government, but the person who proposes it will definitely be hated by Haoqiang, the so-called "Rather lose 2,000 stones, don't lose everyone." These local tyrants, but they did everything, they didn't dare to deal with Liu Bei, and they sent assassins to deal with him, Yang Jun, and they still did it.

The word "local tyrant" is not a special noun in modern times, but in ancient times, at least in the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasty, it refers to the local heroes.

Generally speaking, when it comes to ancient times, it is always said that "the family is strong" or "the scholar is strong", but in fact, the family and the family are completely different.

The family background of this era is divided into several levels, and those who have had three princes from their fathers or ancestors are called "children of the Gong family", among the children of the Gong family, similar to the Yuan family of Runan, the third prince of the fourth generation, the Yang family of Hongnong, and the fourth Taiwei, which is also the apex of the children of the public family.

If before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, make up a hundred family names in the Han Dynasty, then the surname Liu is a well-deserved first surname, the second surname, if you don't use the queen's surname, then it must be Yuan, and the third is Yang.

Cao Cao was able to become friends with Yuan Shao, and it was also because his father used 100 million to buy a taiwei that he could be regarded as raising himself to the scope of "children of the Gong family".

The so-called family, the standard is that there are people who have achieved 2,000 stone of high-ranking officials for generations, and they are embarrassed to call themselves families. Compared with the family, it is even one level worse, it is a second-rate family, of course, among the family, it is naturally divided into three, six, nine and so on.

As for Haoqiang, it can only be regarded as a third-rate family, and it can run rampant in counties and counties, but it is not big to be an official, at most he can only serve as a small official in the county, and the level of 600 stones is basically the limit of the local tyrant. Of course, this 600 stone is a small official in the county, not a lowly and powerful official position that can treat 2,000 stone as nothing.

These wealthy clans, through arbitrary township songs and concealment of household registration, compete with the state for the registered population. And there is a fixed amount of money in a place. The so-called money calculation is the property tax and the population tax, the former is called the calculation, the latter is called the oral calculation, in principle, it should be collected once a year.

Generally speaking, however, the word "in principle" appears to mean that the principle has begun to be missing.

There is always a fixed amount of money collected. The number of households and mouths in a township and a county are there, and the population is embezzled by the powerful and powerful, so it is necessary to find more people who are still in the account books, which increases the pressure on the homesteaders, and the households are often attached to the local wealthy families in order to avoid the state's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which makes the tax sources and military sources that the state can collect are further reduced, thus entering a vicious circle.

So, Yang Jun pondered for a moment and asked: "If it is as the drama military master said, this 'adding ding into the acre' is a good law, why didn't the drama military master personally inform the general." ”

Xi Zhicai smiled and said: "Without him, I have enough credit, but as soon as Yang Zhizhong enters Qingzhou, he has to make the king reused, if there are no one or two good strategies to offer, how can he convince the public." ”

Yang Jun smiled when he heard this, he can find someone to carry the black pot, and he is so fresh and refined, Xi Zhicai is really a talent.

I saw Yang Jun laughing and said: "So thank you to the drama master, tomorrow I will write to the envoy and explain this matter in detail." ”

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he had to persuade again, and said: "Yang Zhizhong rest assured, this matter must be successful, even if the lord knows, there is no reason not to allow it, after all, ...... Oh" After a pause, he reacted and said, "Yang Zhizhong, you mean that you are willing to write to the lord and explain this matter in detail." ”

Yang Jun said: "Drama military master, as you said, I have received great grace from the king, so naturally I have to repay him." Not to mention that this law is a good law, and it is even more of a duty to govern the country. ”
