Chapter 143: Offering Plans to Tuntian
"The flowers of land and water, plants and trees, the lovely ones are very rich. Pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info to love the lotus out of the mud and not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, not vines and branches, fragrant far and clear, pavilion net planting, can be seen from a distance and can not be blasphemed.
It is called a chrysanthemum, and the recluse of flowers is also; Peony, the rich and noble of flowers; Lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Belch! The love of chrysanthemums, except for swallows, is rarely heard. The love of the lotus, who is the giver? The love of peony is suitable for everyone! ”
Yuan Shao's face gradually changed.
From the incomprehension at the beginning, to the solemnity after the appearance of the words "out of the mud and not stained", and then to the end, there seemed to be a slight indifference in his eyes.
Born into a family, how can he not hear what kind of work this will be.
But at this time, he didn't care about the greatness of this article, he just continued to look at Zhang Yu, waiting for him to say something.
The original meaning of the public, Ling Yu was deeply moved, the previous words may have the meaning of prevarication, but now the words are from the heart.
This person, just like in my poem, "There is no suitable rhyme, and the nature loves the hills." "My ambition in this life is not in the temple, but in the rivers and lakes.
What I wish is not that one day I can be a marquis and worship the prime minister, a very popular minister, I just wish to be able to live in the troubled times, be a comfortable Tian Shelang in peace, stay away from the mundane world, the filth of officialdom, and use the blood in my chest and the articles in my pen to build a high wall for the people of the world, and help more living beings to be preserved in this troubled times......"
"But there are no officials, no positions, no soldiers and no generals, even if Yulang you have eight buckets of talent, how can you help others in this world?"
"Because Yu is in Zhongshan, in Jizhou, under the rule of Benchu Gongyou.
In my opinion, you will be able to unify Hebei, keep Hebei peaceful, and fully support Yu to concentrate on what you want to do. ”
"It's not easy to unify Hebei." Yuan Shao shook his head and smiled, but his tone was extremely firm.
"Yu has a strategy, which can teach the power of the original Gong Province for several years."
"What's the solution?"
"Tuntian's strategy."
"Tuntian?"
"Dare to ask if the military rations are still enough in the original public army?"
Yuan Shao thought for a while and said: "Jizhou has abundant grain production, so there is nothing to worry about. ”
"So the soldiers of your army sometimes feed on mulberries?"
Yuan Shao was speechless for a while, and Zhang Yu smiled: "Yu has no other intentions, this Tuntian strategy is designed to solve such a dilemma." ”
Tuntian, which means that the state forces peasants or soldiers to cultivate state-owned land, and then levies a certain amount of land rent, which can be said to be a measure that kills multiple birds with one stone.
Tuntian is widely known, and it should be the promulgation of Boss Cao's "Tuntian Order", but in fact, the history of Tuntian goes back a long way.
"The first emperor made Meng Tian to send 100,000 people to attack Hu in the north, and learned that the south of the river was blocked, and built forty-four county seats, near the river, and it was suitable to fill it." This can be said to be the predecessor of Tuntian.
In the eleventh year of the Western Han Dynasty (169 B.C.), Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty used sinners, slaves and recruited peasants to garrison the border Tuntian, and then Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent a large number of soldiers to the western regions of Tuntian, but at that time, Tuntian was mainly concentrated in the western and northern borders, and the main way was military tun, and the scale was not large. Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the wars continued year after year, and the social productive forces were greatly damaged, the land was barren, the population was sharply reduced, and the food was in short supply, forming serious social problems.
In the first year of Jian'an in history (196 AD), Boss Cao adopted the advice of Zao Yi (this duke had repeatedly refused Yuan Shao's solicitation, and hugged Boss Cao's thighs with all his heart, and his vision was not to be said) and Han Hao, and carried out Tuntian near Xudu.
Due to years of turmoil and war, a large area of ownerless and barren land is rarely cultivated, of course, Boss Cao did not hesitate to laugh, took it all under his own hands, and then took out a part of these fields and handed it over to his own subordinates to cultivate.
There are two kinds of cultivation, one is Juntun and the other is Mintun. The Juntun was mainly recruited by Cao Cao's soldiers and the Pingding Yellow Turbans, while the Mintun was distributed to the homeless and displaced civilians.
The fact is that most of these laborers, cattle, and farming tools were captured during the suppression of the Yellow Turban Uprising, which is unfounded;
And the tax rate of this tuntian system is amazingly high, and even reaches one-half of the proportion of the sky, which is Wanli.
You must know that the taxes set at the beginning of the Han Dynasty when they were recuperating were only fifteen taxes and one or thirty taxes, but now it is good, and the land rent has suddenly jumped to as much as five or six percent, which is simply inhumane. If it weren't for the times, this kind of tax rate would have been put in any peacetime era, and nine times out of ten, it would have forced the peasant brothers to copy the guys.
According to the records of the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, the Book of Wei, and the Records of Emperor Wu", "so the prefectures and counties were listed as field officials, where they were located, they conquered the Quartet, and there was no labor to transport grain, so they annexed the group of thieves and leveled the world".
Cao Cao's tuntian system is a testament to the outstanding talent of this Emperor Wu of Wei in politics. When he promulgated the "Tuntian Order", he once said, "The art of determining the country lies in strengthening the army and having enough food." "To pacify the world is to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, so that the soldiers can eat their stomachs, otherwise how can they win the world?
It's a pity that such a simple truth, many fans of strategy games in later generations have a strategic vision, but many princes in this era do not have.
It is recorded in the Book of Wei: "All armies rise together, there is no plan for the end of the year, hunger is slight, full is abandoned, disintegration and displacement, invincible and self-destruction are innumerable." ”
Except for Boss Cao, none of the princes had a long-term plan, they went to loot when they were hungry, and they all lost when they were full, and in the end they didn't need the enemy to attack, and they collapsed because of food.
In Zhang Yu's previous life, the famous scholar "Pin the Three Kingdoms" had such a passage that impressed him very deeply, that is, when Cao Cao passed through Tuntian, Yuan Shao's army ate mulberries in Hebei, and Yuan Shu's army ate river mussels in Jiangnan, and the mulberry river mussels were not enough, so they went to eat people.
The famous madman during the Republic of China, he once said in his diary: "In ancient times, I often ate people, and I still remember it, but I don't know very well." …… I couldn't fall asleep, and I looked carefully for half the night, only to see the words in the cracks, and there were two words written all over the book that were "cannibalism"!
Indeed, it is really cannibalism.
There are countless such words in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", such as "cannibalism by hunger", "cannibalism by catastrophe", "cannibalism by locusts", and ...... The combat effectiveness of these armies can be imagined.
Zhang Yu gave Yuan Shao a detailed description of the tuntian system, military tun and mintun in his mind, and soon exchanged his shocked, trance-like and subdued attitude.
After all, Yuan Shao's ability is there, and he is weaker than Cao Cao in many cases, and he is just a little slower to react.
"Tuntian system ......," Yuan Shao muttered, "If it is successfully implemented, the great cause of our army can be expected!" Good strategy! With a period of pondering, Yuan Shao thoroughly guessed the essence of Tuntian, and said with a smile: "Yulang's strategy is worth ten thousand gold!" Even if you don't have the intention of being a leader, just by virtue of this strategy, you should be my guest on Yuan Shao's seat! ”
Zhang Yu touched his little belly casually, "It's right in my arms." ”
"What a Tuntian strategy...... It's not just worth tens of thousands of dollars. A soft sigh of unknown meaning came from a house not far away, "I don't know what the copper furnace tastes like......
