Su Liao's face was still full of confusion, and his mind was worried.

Chen Zhi's financial improvements, Su Liao slightly caused, most of which was accompanied by the statistics of the population and tenants, in addition, it was to increase the categories and names of commercial taxes.

Originally, the merchant was not happy, after all, the merchant was mostly a businessman, and since he was a walker, he was changeable, and he could come to Daijun, or he could cross here and go to other places.

It's just that the current Daijun has industries and outputs that others don't have, and there are even special circumstances that can't be compared with other places, and there is a faint view of the Quartet, so they all pinch their noses and admit it.

Thinking of this, Su Liao felt a layer of worry in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Could it be that because of the money collected from the checkpoint, the income has increased?" But this kind of behavior, in fact, is not long-lasting, many businessmen are because of the relationship between the current Daijun paper, kilns, and coal mines, so they have to get from it, and many of the businessmen also feel that there will be war in Daijun afterwards, so they are in line with the mentality of making a sum of money and leaving, and rush over, which has caused a large number of businessmen and convoys to gather in a short period of time, bringing a large amount of input, if it is passed afterwards, I am afraid it will be difficult to last......

Chen Zhi smiled: "Now you are thinking wrong, do you think that the increase in these inputs is because of the money collected from the merchants?" ”

Su Liao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Isn't it?" ”

Chen Zhi shook his head with a smile, pointed to the account book, and said: "The main money and grain in this is obtained when the number of households is counted, in fact, it is to get back some of the money and grain that should have been taxed by the imperial court. ”

Su Liao was stunned for a moment, and humbly asked for advice, it was not that he wanted to do what he liked, but that he really didn't understand enough.

"The key to this is actually still in the roots of the Chinese and Han Dynasty."

Chen Zhi said directly, Su Liao is one of his important arms, and there are many things to rely on in the future to deal with it, and sorting out the key points will also help to assist in tax work in the future.

And Su Liao was prepared, and he understood it as soon as he heard it, and asked: "The law of the land in the Han Dynasty?" ”

The so-called Middle Han Dynasty is actually the Later Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty established by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty in the original history, and in the eyes of the New Han Dynasty, it is in the middle position.

Chen Zhi nodded, and then said: "At the time of the Middle Han Dynasty, almost every inch of land of the Han Dynasty had its owner, and eighty percent of it was in the hands of the family, and then the war in Shenzhou and the warlords were divided, but no matter which one of them depended on the local family, so whether it was the Han Dynasty of Emperor Zhaolie, or the puppet dynasty of the Cao family and the Zhao family, they actually inherited the land law of the Han Dynasty, and they did not dare to change too much, and still maintained the land of the family, in exchange for the support of those big families, so that they could raise troops and horses to attack, There are also virtuous people who govern the place. ”

Su Liao is also familiar with these inner allusions, and he has an impression in his heart, and when he listens to Chen Zhi, he understands the key behind it.

The new Han Dynasty was established in the south, and the ruling group was foreign, in order to balance the internal and external relations, and strive for the support of the southern Jiangzuo clan, naturally did not dare to make a big change, so they acquiesced to the family's holding of land, and the founding monarch did not have such courage, and the emperor who followed behind had this courage, but also had the powerlessness, one of the typical representatives, is the Xuanwu Emperor.

This emperor, who truly unified the north and the south, naturally had similar thoughts, but the family was intertwined, and even the royal family was actually just the top family, the head of the family, the leader of the alliance, and in the end, there was only one way to compromise.

Chen Zhi spoke, sat down again, and said with a smile: "Not only in the face of the Jiangzuo family, but also in the north after unification, there is not much change, this word unification, in fact, is talking about the unity between people, not the land, to unify the people, there must be a foundation of unity, this foundation is the land, in order to let the northern land can be included in the rule and governance, instead of the endless war, there is a compromise, those families, clans, the land, still retains most of it, just to play a role in checks and balances, He also left some southern generals who followed the Northern Expedition in the north to manage, and let them leave some bloodline branches, such as the Daijun Zhu family, which came from here. ”

Su Liao nodded and said: "My subordinates also know something about this, Emperor Xuanwu unified the north and the south, so he issued a decree to suspend the army and dismantle the garrisons and horses in various places, in fact, at the same time, the influence of the family was reduced, because at that time, the world was a few points, the family was connected between the north and the south, and many times the penetration of the local government was heavier than that of the government, so that many of the soldiers stationed in the army were actually equivalent to the family members of the family......"

Saying this, he was suddenly stunned, thinking of the current situation of Daijun, and suddenly felt that it was very similar to the original situation.

Thinking about it again, the several forces in the north, especially Wang Jun and the king of Jiangdu, are actually in a general situation, even if the ancestor who seems to be the most loyal, the most effective people under his command are actually not the officers and soldiers, but the displaced people who have been collected and recruited after they arrived in the north, as well as the soldiers and horses composed of the children of the local dock fort, if they relied on the original officers and soldiers, I am afraid they would have been driven back to the south long ago.

It is precisely because he is in charge of intelligence that Su Liao's understanding of the surrounding situation is relatively three-dimensional and comprehensive, so he can't help but wonder, does this situation indicate that the situation in the late Han Dynasty will be repeated?

When he thought of that era of frequent wars, he instinctively felt cold all over his body.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhi's inquiry pulled Su Liao's mind back, and he replied that it was nothing, and continued: "This reduction of local garrisons has caused many families to lose the food and grass supplies and weapons of the government, but it has also made the local area much more peaceful. ”

Chen Zhi said: "Having said that, when I was the secretary and supervisor of the East and West Gardens, I had read the classics and knew that behind this Yanwu Order, there was actually a series of imperial decrees, and I wanted to distribute the land in the north and Shu, but in the end, because the family's rebound could not be resolved, the situation was still unstable for a while, which also contributed to the Xuanwu Emperor finally dividing the county kings and stabilizing these newly conquered lands, with the current situation of sealing the country in various places. ”

This Su Liao heard about it for the first time, and was a little surprised, so he asked: "Could it be that the income of the Dai County has increased greatly now, is it because the lord has achieved this move?" ”

"If it is achieved, it is not necessarily true, but it is a trick," Chen Zhi said calmly, "On the one hand, because the Daijun is small, not as good as the Han Dynasty, and the town is suppressed by the power of the army, and the paper kiln is profitable, the family is sluggish, and secondly, there is a key factor in this." ”

"What factors?"

Chen Zhi paused and spit out two words-

"Tuntian!"
