Chapter 214 New Tax Law
"Ahh Guo Yi sneezed. He rubbed his nose with his right hand, and patted Bian Linglong's buttocks with his left hand, "I'm thinking, this sneeze must be Cao Apu scolding me!" ”
Bian Linglong was silent, and seven days had passed since Guo Yi knocked on the door in the middle of the night. The two sang all night and night, all night long. She also moved into the General's Mansion naturally, sleeping and resting during the day, getting up in the evening to dress up, and serving Guo Yixing's room at night. If you want to talk about this kung fu in bed, after selling herself for so many years, Guo Yi is definitely standing out from the crowd, and only he can toss her for one night. As long as you don't want to have those who don't have it, sleeping with Guo Yi is definitely the most refreshing time.
"Starting tomorrow, the new policy will be implemented. If you want me to sleep with you again, you'll have to try your luck. ”
Bian Linglong said angrily: "You don't want to make my belly bigger? ”
"Of course." Guo Yithief smiled, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "I'll send you back when it's big, and let Cao Ah be the father!" ”
"Shameless!"
"Hey, hey! You tell me! Guo Yi pinched her butt flap and started the journey again.
Since Guo Yi issued the "Stop Fighting Order", the people of Hanoi have obviously relaxed a lot. Li Zhang followed the ravine between Wutai Mountain and Heng Mountain, all the way to the east, and hit Pingxingguan. Controlled the pass from the Xiongnu to Taiyuan and ensured the safety of Taiyuan County.
On the other hand, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun quickly pacified Hedong County, east of Fenshui. Although this is Si Li's territory, Dong Zhuo has never controlled it. The Xiongnu took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and ran over to rob money and women. When they encountered a large army, they immediately fled north, and there was no decent war.
Zhao Yun led his army across the Fenshui River and pursued the Xiongnu. Recapture the area on the west bank of the Fen River. The whole county of Hedong County belongs to Guo Yijun! It took only ten days.
At this time, Guo Yi's military order was sent to Zhao Yun in Puzi County. Zhao Yun, who had been a county official, immediately understood the meaning of the letter. The people of Hanoi are now a potential powder keg, and there are not many grain-producing areas in the state, so it is extremely risky to continue the northern expedition at this time period, and it is very likely that the whole body will be affected by other princes.
The troops and the people all have to eat! With the two richest counties already in hand, there is no need to run out of food and grass to compete for other poor counties. The Xiongnu's crusade was left to be done after the domination of the world.
After reading the letter, Zhao Yun spread out the map. The place west of Fenshui in Hedong County is a mountainous area. To the east, bounded by Fenshui, is the plain. Puzi County, where he is currently located, is located in the northernmost part of Hedong County, but it is a small county town sandwiched between valleys with a population of no more than 3,000. When the Huns went south, they sacked it again, and when they went north, there were less than 700 people left.
From a topographical point of view, Pishi County, which retreats to the Fenshui River to join the Yellow River, is the best defensive position.
"Writing to the lord, our army requests to return to Pishi County. Move the people west of Fenshui to the east bank. ”
Guo Yi approved Zhao Yun's request. Now there is no need to worry about the gains and losses of a mountainous area, just protect the people and the grain-producing areas, and choke the checkpoints in various places.
Four counties plus three counties in Yanmen County. The plains west of the Taihang Mountains have all been taken, and it is time to start internal political development.
There are three main problems we are facing: finance, military affairs, and talent selection.
In order to govern a territory close to a state, it is necessary to have a well-established organizational structure. In the past, when he was in Yangzhou, he basically followed the system of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
However, in ancient China, the government had very few functions, mainly responsible for adjudicating cases, law and order, and taxation, plus a very small part of urban development. That is, a strengthened version of the Public Security Bureau. As long as the common people do not break the law and do not encounter natural and man-made disasters, they can live without dealing with the government for the rest of their lives.
If Guo Yi wants to prepare for his regime, then he must start experimenting with the new system.
Regarding the most important financial issues, Fan Xin, Wang Yi, and Wang Ming have been arguing for three whole days. Wang Yi didn't even come to bed when he turned over the sign, because he didn't want to leave the other two people with the suspicion of "blowing the pillow wind".
The three of them all went home at night to perfect their plans, and began to talk in the government hall during the day!
Guo Yi adhered to the principle of not interfering in things he didn't understand, so he basically didn't participate in the discussion. Just take your own escort team and go around the rounds! When he proposed to move to the administrative center that day, Fan Xin mentioned that he was far away from the bottom. It is just this time to observe the people's feelings.
During the inspection, he was accompanied by the county guards. Hanoi County is Han Hao, Shangdang County is Wang Quan, Taiyuan County is Cui Miao, and the three counties of Yanmen are also merged into Taiyuan County. Hedong County is Longsan.
Before inspecting Tongguan, Guo Yi had a whim and wanted to go to Hongnong to have a look. Ben Qiaozhuang dressed up and crossed the river to Hongnong. Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were stationed here. learned that Dong Zhuo had called himself "Taishi", above the kings surnamed Liu. 10,000 households were also sealed and sealed in Yi County.
After going around in Hongnong County for a while, he basically figured out the defense situation in various places, and then prepared to go back.
"Mrs. Guo, don't come unharmed." A person walked out of the alley, and it turned out to be Jia Xu. Judging by his appearance, he should be here to handle official business.
"Why is Mr. Jia here?"
Jia Xu said: "I heard that the general won Hedong County, and he is hereby to congratulate him." ”
Hearing him say this, Guo Yi was a little entangled in this matter. "I wonder what you have to teach you?"
Jia Xu smiled and said: "As the saying goes, once you are strong, then you will decline, and then you will be exhausted. The general just took Hedong County, and then stopped, and the Huns would be in great trouble in the future. ”
"I understand, too." Guo Yi sighed: "It's just that the grain and grass are insufficient, and the road is far away, beyond our strength." What can I do about it? ”
Jia Xu said: "The general's dragoon camp is brave in the world, why are you afraid of the recklessness of the Huns?" The people of the state are still thinking of Han, as long as they break through the Southern Xiongnu Court and behead Shan Yu, then the land of the state is owned by the general. ”
At this time, the princes of the world did not dare to move, and the general did not take advantage of this time to go north. When it comes to the war with the princes, wouldn't it be dangerous to attack the north and south with the Xiongnu? ”
Of course Guo Yi understands these truths, but fighting a war is really burning money. He can't afford it now! "I wonder if Mr. has a clever plan?"
Jia Xu touched his beard and asked with a smile: "General Su Wen is one enemy and one hundred?" ”
Guo Yi said proudly: "Ordinary pawns, thousands are not to be feared. ”
This is really not bragging, ordinary people, even ordinary generals, are all traitors in front of him. Only the Five Tiger Generals and Lu Fengxian can have some back-and-forth with him.
"Why didn't the general invite the Xiongnu tribes to join the alliance? In order to show sincerity, the general went alone, and the Huns had no doubts. As long as the leaders of each department are beheaded in the banquet, and then the light cavalry sweeps all over the place, the Huns will be broken! ”
"Brilliant plan!" These words spoke to Guo Yi's heart. If this plan is successful, it will definitely be able to defeat the Huns in one fell swoop! But another question came to mind, "Wildfires can't be burned, and spring breezes blow and regenerate." This Xiongnu has been at war for more than 600 years since the Warring States period, how can it be removed? ”
Jia Xu's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, and he said in a low voice: "Any Hun man, whoever is taller than the wheel will be killed!" All the women moved into the interior and gave Han people as wives. Within ten years, the Huns will be wiped out! ”
Poisoner! What a poisoner! As long as the goal is achieved, who cares about his name before and after?
"Thank you, sir, for your advice." Engaging in such a thing as genocide, Guo Yi is really a bit embarrassed. I came from the 21st century, and I experienced several "neuroses" in that era. right and agreed, as a backup plan. Let's ride out of the customs first, and then behead the single one.
Jia Xu arched his hand, "A certain farewell." ”
"Why don't you come with me, sir?"
Jia Xu asked, "Does the general support the Han Emperor?" ”
Guo Yi was silent, the emperor would either hold it in his hand or kill him. Judging from Liu Xie's situation, it is serious to be killed. "The emperor is not dead, and we are all human ministers."
Jia Xu nodded and said, "And for the general." Leave. ”
Guo Yi said excitedly: "Thank you, sir!" ”
Back to Chaoge, Guo Yi already had an understanding of the situation in various places. At the same time, he also saw Dong Zhuo's current situation clearly, with more than self-preservation and insufficient progress.
He made a month's rounds, and when he returned, there was still no result of a discussion on the financial issues.
Guo Yi asked, "How is the paper mill coming in?" ”
Fan Xin flipped through the dossier, "The craftsmen rescued from Luoyang have all resumed production in Shangdang, and the output has stabilized recently. It is enough to edit the book and write it. The craftsmen of the rest of the departments are also operating normally, the iron output is basically satisfied, and the output of weapons and equipment is also stable and of excellent quality. ”
"How's the paper for banknotes developed?"
"A thousand proofs have been produced, and they are durable. As for ink, red ink with a stable color has been developed that will not dissolve in water even if it is soaked in water for three days. ”
Guo Yi is very satisfied, the research on banknote paper was started when he was a master craftsman, and it has never been interrupted. Now, four years later, there is finally some fruition. "Good. Appropriation, to increase production, we have to issue jiaozi and set up banks in various places. ”
"I wonder if the people are willing to exchange it?" They are just a warlord, issuing money, and not very persuasive.
"Reform the tax code first." Guo Yi really couldn't stand their endless arguments, although he didn't study much, but at least he told them the examples and general operations, with their ingenuity, they should be able to come up with an effective law.
"Implement the 'one whip' law to unify the payment of taxes. We should use 'apportionment into the mu' to reform the content of taxation and improve the enthusiasm of the people. I'll give you a rough idea, and you'll do your own research. ”
In the next seven days, Guo Yi talked about tax law, finance, fiscal deficit, civil law, commercial law, government functions, and organizational structure, and also analyzed the pros and cons of various policies like a textbook. It's just an outline, but for these ancients, every one of them is groundbreaking!
"Fan Xin, you set up a legislative group to work out the detailed provisions. For the time being, we will reform the tax system first, and then implement other new policies when the fiscal situation stabilizes. ”
Guo Yi was also afraid that his steps would be too big and he would pull the eggs. Now is not the Spring and Autumn Warring States, and the other princes will not give him hundreds of years to rise. Let's take a shot of cardiotonic to try the effect, and then look at the follow-up progress.
"The tax law reform was first piloted in Taiyuan County. If the people support it, then it will be promoted to the whole territory. ”
"No." In the past few days, Fan Xin has specially arranged for the secretary to record. If these policies are really implemented, it will be a country that has never been seen before!
