Chapter 17: Emperor Zhongjia's New Clothes

In May of the first year of Jian'an, Shouchun, Huainan County, Yangzhou, Yuan Mansion (Yuan Yao's private residence)

"Zimin, June Fourth, June Fourth, no lower, and the government ploughs cattle and farm tools and grains," Sun Quan argued. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Zhongmou, the fourth official is too low, General Zuo will definitely refuse, how about the fifth five?" , Yuan Yao discussed.

"The former Han army is only divided into five or five, how can Mintun be five or five?" , Sun Quan replied that there were many military tuns in the Western Han Dynasty, but the public income from Tuntian and the Tuntian soldiers were divided into five or five, and the people should take care of the people, and the civilians in addition to the field endowment, there was a series of miscellaneous taxes such as poll tax and mouth money, if the people of Tuntian need to pay these taxes again, I am afraid that the income from growing grain will not be able to leave a grain of rations.

"Fields, cattle, farm tools, houses, and rice seeds are all provided by the government, if the officials are four and the people are six, I am afraid that General Zuo will not allow it", Yuan Yao argued.

"Five-five is also acceptable, if you can exempt the money and change the payment, you will be removed from all miscellaneous taxes, and the officials and six people can", Sun Quan laughed.

"I know that Zhongmou loves the people, so if you divide it like this, you can avoid money", Yuan Yao saw him like this, so he had to reveal the bottom line.

"After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, thousands of miles of blatant, and the people's livelihood can achieve the cause of the king, and I hope that Zimin will persuade General Zuo a lot", Sun Quan persuaded when he heard this.

"Hey, I'll do my best", Yuan Yao sighed.

The taxes of the Han Dynasty were complicated, and the orthodox Tian Fu was just a small road, and one out of fifteen, how could there be the scourge of the Yellow Turban? What is terrible is that the latter series of taxes, counting (adult head tax), mouth tax (children's head tax), household tax (to pay taxes after war), more taxes (no service tax), entering the city need to pay taxes, late marriage and late childbirth also have to pay taxes, etc., under such high taxes, coupled with natural disasters, farmers bankrupt abound, but as long as people live, they have to pay taxes, and it is no wonder that Zhang Jiao shouted that the sky is dead (the official uniforms of Han Dynasty officials have been green).

"Also, after the Tunjun and the county, I want to go to the county to watch the Tuntian for the first Zhonglang general, and I hope that Zimin will be perfected", Sun Quan said again.

"Do you believe me?" , Yuan Yao smiled bitterly.

"Seeing is believing," Sun Quan responded.

"If Zhongmou was born ten years early, he would be too guarded with one penny", Yuan Yao boasted.

A money too shou refers to the Eastern Han Dynasty Liu Pet (clan relatives), Ren Hui Ji is too punctual, abolish the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, when leaving office, five or six old people take more than 100 dollars to show respect, Liu Pet took the largest one, and then resigned from the county. (There was a lot of money in the Han Dynasty, and there were many private casters, of different sizes)

"It's not too late for Quan to lead the Taishou today," Sun Quan said with a smile.

The two looked at each other and laughed, Yuan Yao set up a banquet to entertain Sun Quan, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

In the afternoon, Sun Quan resigned and Yuan Yao sent him off. Don't mention Sun Quan's return home.

After Yuan Yao said goodbye to Sun Quan, he turned around and went to look for Yan Xiang.

"Mr. Xiwen, I have discussed the matter of Tuntian with Zhongmou, everything is fine, but Zhongmou wants to be the governor of Tuntian for Hexian Ichiro, and Yao only boasts that he is 'too guarded by one penny'." Yuan Yao said.

"How is the discussion in Tuntian in the clan?" Yan Xiang asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"There are many ploughing cattle in the treasury and the clan, and the farm tools are idle, and the uncles in the clan also have a lot of hope for the tuntian affairs, and now the north is in turmoil, and the price of grain is high. After the snow sugar was transported from the south, Jingzhou and Chen sold a lot, but the north was dilapidated, and the wars were frequent, which was not conducive to business and did not make much profit. ”

"So, they want to pay attention to the grain produced in this tuntian for sale?" Yan Xiang asked.

"Yes, my father's treasury is very tightly closed, and it is extremely difficult for them to sell grain, and the wealthy families in several counties around Shouchun do not sell their grain, and the households are many dilapidated, so naturally there is no grain to collect. Yuan Yao described in detail.

"General Zuo's new palace is now three zhang high, and there are rumors that have ordered the dragon car to be made, time is not much, you are recently serving the left and right, Sun Ce's waiter comes, you and say, be sure to be in Hexian County as soon as possible, the output can be divided into one or two people, and the rest must be sealed in the treasury." Yan Xiang said.

"Yao knows", Yuan Yao replied.

"If General Zuo insists on ascending the throne, you will persuade you with me, if not, you will ask the army to be stationed in Hexian and practice more, just in case."

"Mr. Xie's teachings", Yuan Yao bowed and saluted.

"Zimin go back and rest", Yan Xiang waved his hand, and Yuan Yao retreated.

Yan Xiang stood quietly alone in the courtyard, anxious in his heart. He was really heartbroken for the Yuan family, in the early years as a poor family was raised filial piety, more than the Yuan family to support, Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the Yuan family a letter, he abandoned the county to vote for Yuan Shu, many lines of persuasion, but Yuan Shu was greedy and did not listen, turned to Nanyang, into Shouchun, so far the northern Yuan family son Yuan Shao has been all based in Jizhou, tens of thousands of soldiers, the family of wealthy families. However, his son-in-law Yuan Shu was trapped in Huainan, greedy for longevity and wealth, did not bind military discipline, competed with Liu Miao for Yangzhou, and repeatedly lost his mind to become a big Sun Ce. Now he is greedy for the jade seal, almost called the emperor, and when the time comes, he is not careful, and he will never recover.

Fortunately, there is Yuan Yao, but Yuan Shu is greedy and strong, but I am afraid that Zimin will have no place to rely on, no people to rely on, and he will be infamous and difficult to get up in his life. Thinking about it, Yan Xiang couldn't help but sigh deeply, I don't know if he was feeling sorry for himself, or Yuan Shu, or Yuan Yao, who came to consult with him all day long.

After another three days, Yuan Yao rushed around in a hurry, going back and forth between the clan, the Yan Mansion, and the Sun Mansion, and occasionally went to visit Yuan Shu.

Today, Yuan Yao has finished everything and came to Sun's mansion, just waiting for Sun Ce's envoy to come.

"Zimin, I see that your face is tired, and I hope to rest more", Sun Quan saw that his eldest brother was tired, and couldn't help but advise.

"Tuntian is busy, and now that Fang is finished, I can take a break for a while," Yuan Yao responded.

The two were eating fruits and chatting, when they suddenly heard "General Chen Bao is back", the two looked up and saw Chen Bao leading Zhang Hong into the door.

"Mr. Zigang, Zhongmou hasn't seen him for more than a month, and he misses it very much", Sun Quan got up and saluted.

"Is it okay to come here? General Bo Fu has ordered me to recharge the people to General Zuo, and I hope that Gongzi will introduce me", Zhang Hong responded to Sun Quan with a smile, and said to Yuan Yao.

"The matter of snow sugar is very important, please come with me", Yuan Yao led Zhang Hong to the Zuo General's Mansion after resigning.

Sun Quan got up and asked Chen Bao, "What about the sword?" ”

Chen Bao went out and immediately took it off and handed it to Sun Quan, who drew his sword and showed his edge.

"Very good, very good", Sun Quan said with a smile.

......

Yuan Yao led Zhang Hong to the stage into the hall, and he went to report first, leaving Zhang Hong to wait outside the hall for a while. After a while, Yuan Yao came out and led Zhang Hong into the hall.

"Who's coming?" , the waiter asked.

"Yuzhang guards Sun Ce's envoy", Zhang Hong glanced up, only to see Yuan Shu wearing a black imperial robe, playing with the jade seal in his hand, and hurriedly bowed his head in response.

"What did Sun Bofu send you for?" , Yuan Shu continued to rub the jade seal with one hand, and arranged the imperial robe with the other hand.

"General Sun has gone down to the three counties of Yuzhang, please ask General Zuo to relocate the people to plant sugarcane", Zhang Hong bowed his head and responded.

"Rong Mou thinks about it, the name of Mr. Ziheng, Lonely, I have also heard of it, may I ask what virtue Han Cheng has?" , Yuan Shu wanted to be lonely, and after thinking about it, he finally gave up.

"Emperor Guangwu rejuvenated the Han Dynasty and inherited the virtues of fire", Zhang Hong replied.

"Those who represent the Han Dynasty should be the inheritors of Tude?" , Yuan Shu asked.

"Yes, I hope that General Zuo can relocate the people to Yuzhang County", Zhang Hong made another request.

"Got it, you go down", Yuan Shu waved his hand and signaled Zhang Hong to retire.

After Zhang Hong retreated, Yuan Shu took off his imperial robe, still on the side, and asked the waiter:

"Lone's royal robe, how is the dragon car doing?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I have sent someone to urge you, be sure to please Your Majesty."

Hahahaha, Yuan Shu laughed, and after getting up, he wanted to leave the hall with the jade seal in his hand.

"Father, the child has something to tell you." Yuan Yao stepped forward and said when he saw this.

"Speak"

"Huainan counties are broken, please migrate 50,000 households to Tuntian in He County, and after half a year, you can get 500,000 pieces of grain and rush to use it as military funds", Yuan Yao stepped forward.

"Oh, Sun Bofu wants to migrate Yuzhang, after you go back, you will reply to Zhang Hong and say that Huainan is hungry, and the migrants will be tuntian." Yuan Shu said with a smile.

"The child understands that Zhongmou is willing to go to Tuntian together, please be the Zhonglang general," Yuan Yao said.

"For his sake," Yuan Shu picked up a pastry from the table and put it in his mouth.

"Yes".
