Chapter 42 Hedong Dazhi
Smoothly? Yang Shuo sneered, did he only have the sky in his eyes along the way?
With a gloomy face, Yang Shuo suddenly spoke, "It's so good, at the end of the month, Liang Dao will gather 300,000 grains and grass for me!" ”
"300,000 Hu?" Jia Kui almost screamed in shock, although Hedong is a big county, but it is located on the border from close to Luoyang and Chang'an, and has been sacked by the Xiliang Army and the Xiongnu, Xu Huang occupied Hedong for less than half a year, and then the thieves plundered most of the prefectures and counties, the money and grain were not rich, and 300,000 Hu was almost half a year's tax in Hedong in its heyday, not to mention Hedong, which has just recovered from the turmoil.
"What can't I do?" Yang Shuo's face became even more gloomy, and his majestic voice penetrated through Jia Kui's heart.
Jia Kui is not an ordinary county minister, he is quite resourceful, and he heard from Yang Shuo's tone that at this time, he understood what the problem was, and hurriedly came out, "The subordinates are guilty, please punish the lord!" ”
"If everyone asks for punishment for their guilt, then what's the point of me as a taishou?" Yang Shuo was very angry, it was such a critical juncture, and Jia Kui was still governing the place with the old-fashioned thinking.
Jia Kui's ability is definitely capable of being Hedong Changshi, but he didn't understand what Yang Shuo needed.
Hedong was originally a place of war, starvation everywhere, the people were not living, this is the current situation in Hedong, but after careful investigation, it was found that this is not the case, the family is full of heroes, manors are everywhere, slaves and servants, tenants and tenants are even more, the so-called wealth is hidden in the people, and it is really hidden in these moths.
There are three kinds of taxes in the Eastern Han Dynasty: land rent (land tax), calculation and mouth tax (poll tax), forced labor (force tax), the field tax of the Eastern Han Dynasty is only thirty taxes, and the heaviest in the late Eastern Han Dynasty is the poll tax, according to this calculation of the tax is relatively possible, the most important thing is that at the end of the Han Dynasty, a large number of people were hidden by the rich and powerful, and the remaining part of the people had to bear their own taxes and bear the hidden part of the people's taxes, which was extremely heavy on the whole.
If it continues like this, unless no taxes are levied, the taxes in Hedong are still very heavy, and the people can't feel the hope that Yang Shuo brings them, it's just the changing king banner at the head of the city, whoever is too shou is not the same, why must he be loyal to him Yang Shuo!
Whoever wins the hearts and minds of the people wins the world!
What Yang Shuo wants is not to pay taxes, money, and food, but to have people's hearts!
This is my ideal lord!
Jia Kui finally understood what the lord wanted and what he should do!
Suddenly, Jia Kui raised his head, his eyes were resolute, "Lord Lord, please rest assured, at the end of the month, there will be 300,000 grains raised for the Lord and the Lord!" ”
I'm not afraid that you will move, I am afraid that you will not move, in history, Jia Kui was brave and strategic, and a figure with political and military talents, who contributed to the reunification of Cao Wei throughout his life.
"Haha! Good! Yang Shuo laughed heartily, "I will sit in Anyi this month, although Liang Dao uses his means, if there is a need, just open his mouth!" ”
Jia Kui got the order, and he didn't delay, and said goodbye to Yang Shuo and retreated to prepare.
In troubled times, if Yang Shuo wants to develop, Hedong needs to be rectified!
With the departure of Jia Kui, Hedong, which had just calmed down, ushered in another earthquake, and this time it was no longer the poor middle peasants who suffered but the powerful families.
One of the most distinctive features of the Eastern Han Dynasty is the family, which almost affects the direction of the political form of the Three Kingdoms, why Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu can have a large number of talents in the early stage and become the heroes of the world, why Han Fu sits on the rich Jizhou but gives it to Yuan Shao, why Liu Bei, the descendant of Liu Sheng, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, how much blood has passed away from Liu Hong's generation, and the Han family clan is open and closed everywhere, all because of the family
The family family began in the late Western Han Dynasty, and with the rapid development of the power of the wealthy family, there were some families with generations of officials to 2,000 stones, and there were even examples of fathers and sons successively becoming prime ministers. After the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were more and more families of generations of ministers. The power of the great clans further expanded, especially the six major families led by Liu Xiu's revival of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Deng Yu family, the Geng Yi family, the Liang Tong family, the Dou Rong family, the Ma Yuan family and the Yin family, which almost determined the political life of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the family has always been in an important position to influence the political situation, enjoy various privileges, the family and celebrities manipulate social opinion, and the family assets and family have a great impact on the future of the scholars. With the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the heroes of various regions became the social basis of the secession regime, and the separatists must win their support and use the representatives of the Chevaliers, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed in the secession.
Cao Cao's early years of military power development was full of twists and turns, very unsmooth, Cao Cao suppressed the remnants of the Yellow Turban in Yanzhou, at first quite supported by Yan, Yu Haojie, Bao Xin, Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others. However, in the first year of Xingping, Cao Cao used troops in Xuzhou, attacked Tao Qian, Zhang Miao and others defected, and met Lu Bu, "all the sincerity of Yanzhou should be clothed", "the governor and the generals conspired with Miao and the palace". The main reason is that Cao Cao was born in a eunuch family, and he asked the county officials to kill Bian Rang on the spot.
Therefore, although Cao Cao practiced "meritocracy", he "can only select the talents he needs from the big surnames and celebrities, and still needs the big surnames and celebrities to recommend the talents he needs", so as not to repeat the tragedy of killing one side and letting the county go against the other.
After Xun Yu defected to Cao Cao, Cao Cao embarked on the journey of unifying the north, Xun Yu's defection was not only a personal refuge, but also a refuge of the Yingchuan family to Cao Cao.
According to historical records, Yuan Shao IV was the third duke, but he seized Hebei to "conquer Zheng Xuan in Beihai and was rude", and "forced Xuan to follow the army" to march south, and also ordered Cao Cao to kill Yang Biao, Liang Shao and Kong Rong, as for the killing of Tian Feng and others, it is obvious to all. Gongsun Zhan is based in Youzhou, "many are mutilated"; "Kill the state capital, and the well-dressed and good men will be gone"; "Inside and outside, those who are well-dressed and talented will be trapped in a poor place." Gongsun Du possessed Liaodong, and "all the big names in the county were punished by law, and more than 100 families were destroyed, and the county was shocked", and even dug graves and burned corpses to vent his hatred. Tao Qian served as the assassin of Xuzhou, "backsliding", Zhao Yu and other "Xu Fang celebrities", or "loyalty and straightforwardness", or "detention" with admonition, "criminal and political disharmony, goodness is often victimized". Sun Ce "pacified Wu Hui and punished its heroes", the so-called "heroes", that is, referring to the famous men in the south of the Yangtze River, the Sun brothers successively killed Xu Gong, Sheng Xian, Zhou Ang, Zhou Xin, Zhou Hao, Wang Sheng, Shen You, Gao Dai, etc., if you recount the historical facts that Sun Jian attacked and killed Wang Rong and Sun Ce killed Lu Kang, it can be said that the hands of Sun's father and son were stained with the blood of famous people of the world.
Compared with the above-mentioned figures, Cao Cao had similar actions, such as he successively killed Bian Rang, Kong Rong, Yang Xiu and other famous people, but he did not like Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Du, Tao Qian and others, always regarded the big clan as the enemy, and killed them all as fast, but tried his best to recruit scholars and win their cooperation.
Therefore, Cao Cao's success has also been supported by the family, otherwise in the hands of Cao Pi, Chen Qun's nine-grade Zhongzheng system would not be so logical!
