Although Tai Shi Ci and Liao Li once fought against Liu Zhang, the generals under Liu Zhang's command also admired them very much, especially Tai Shi Ci. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoPeople who have fought with him in the past admire his martial arts. As for Liao Li, with Zhuge Liang here, he will not be lonely, even if he is not an apprentice of Lumen Mountain. At the banquet, the banquet was staggered, the scribes were witty, and the sound of the generals fighting for wine made the atmosphere high. It's a pity that the good times don't last long, and happiness will lead to sorrow!

"Report!" Just when there was jubilation in Liu Zhang's mansion, a small school rushed in with a bamboo tube held high. On the bright red sealing mud in the front section of the bamboo tube, the word emergency is covered, and at a glance, you can know that it is an emergency report before the army. Now there is still a place for war, only the Qiang people and Rong Di in Liangzhou! Seeing the bamboo tube, the hall suddenly fell silent. Liu Zhang took the bamboo tube with a pale face, picked up the sealing mud casually, and took out the battle report inside.

After reading the battle report, Liu Zhang slapped his palm on the small case in front of him, and the small case shook violently, and it split into several petals. The dishes and wine utensils on the table all fell to the ground with a bang, making a noise! Everyone knew that Liu Zhang was angry, so they all stopped drinking and waiting for Liu Zhang's order!

"Looks like God doesn't want us to be idle!" Liu Zhang sat on the main seat with a dark face, and the waiter had already taken away the small case that was divided in front of him!

"Dare to ask my lord, what happened to make you so angry?" Guo Jia and Jia Xu are in charge of intelligence, and Liu Zhang has asked them to set up one, which is named after the Ministry of Intelligence, but they may not know about the military intelligence report earlier than Liu Zhang.

"See for yourselves!" Throwing the battle report to Guo Jia and Jia Xu, Liu Zhang sneered: "I thought that after beating Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Karasuma, surrendering the Southern Barbarians, and killing Liu Bei, those foreigners would live in peace, but I didn't expect that there were still people who were not afraid of death!" Ladies and gentlemen, the Qiang people united with the Rongdi tribes to attack Liangzhou. Liangzhou assassin Shi Lu Xun was in a hurry, Liangzhou general Zhang Ji was seriously injured, the people of Tianshui, Wuwei, Jincheng, and Zhangye counties were killed, and Tianshui Ji County was slaughtered, what do you think? ”

"Beat him up!" Zhang Fei hugged the wine jar and poured a mouthful and said: "Just a Qiang person, you dare to be presumptuous, as long as the eldest brother gives the order, I will take the people of the headquarters to level it!" ”

"Shut up! Drink your wine and go! "Since the expansion of the Overlord Cavalry, Pang De has joined, and Zhang Fei's command can be regarded as wealthy. 80,000 iron horses, it's really not a joke! However, fighting a war is a dangerous thing, Liu Zhang doesn't want to get used to Zhang Fei's stinky temper, in case he is too arrogant, it is a very dangerous thing!

"How do you drink with your mouth closed?" Zhang Fei muttered in a low voice, but when he saw Liu Zhang sweeping towards him with vicious eyes, he quickly gagged his mouth with a wine jar!

"Lord, according to this information, I found that the Qiang people and the Rongdi tribes seem to be very familiar with the terrain of Liangzhou!" Liao Li was originally a man who was greedy for power and a good name, and when he came to Liu Zhang, he was unwilling to fall into the ordinary. After reading the information, he immediately discovered an omission!

"Familiar with the terrain?" Liu Zhang's eyes condensed and said, "Is there a Han Annihilation?" ”

"I don't know if there is an internal annihilation, but I'm sure that some of the Qiang people are familiar with the terrain of Liangzhou and can use the terrain of Liangzhou to deal with our army!" Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liao Li seemed to have returned to the time when he first arrived under Liu Bei, he said his own opinions in his mouth, and his face showed confidence and arrogance!

"Check!" Liu Zhang sneered: "Fengxiao, Wenhe, I want to know who is betraying the interests of the Han people!" For this kind of Han annihilation, it is necessary to break the corpse into thousands of pieces, and let him stink for 10,000 years! ”

"My subordinates understand!" Guo Jia and Jia Xu immediately bowed down to receive the order, they are Liu Zhang's most trusted advisers, and they also know Liu Zhang's mind the most, so there is no need to say more! What's more, they also want to give the opportunity to newcomers, such as Zhuge Liang!

"Lord, what should I do about the invasion of the Qiang people?" Tai Shi Ci joined Liu Zhang's command as a newcomer, so he naturally wanted some credit. Attacking the Qiang people and Rong Di is definitely a good opportunity to gild!

"Of course we have to fight!" Liu Zhang sneered: "You dare to kill my Liangzhou officials and people, and also injure General Zhang Ji, is it tolerable, is it unbearable?" Yide, Zilong, Meng Qi, Wenyuan, the four of you immediately mobilized the army under your command and prepared to rescue Liangzhou. Yuan Zhi, you are resourceful, you are the commander! ”

"No!" Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, Xu Shu and the five people immediately got up and left the table, after all, it will take a while to mobilize the army!

"Kong Ming, Gongyuan!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Kong Ming is the prime minister's talent, and Gongyuan is not bad, the matter of grain and grass scheduling will be handled by the two of you, is there a problem?" ”

"Naturally, there is no problem!" Zhuge Liang came to Liu Zhang's command, and Liu Zhang gradually handed over all the government affairs under his rule to him, and he was quite handy in handling it, and he did not have the idea of rewarding and punishing twenty in history at all.

In fact, Zhuge Liang in history has to ask about every detail, and it is not without reason. Just imagine, Shu Han was the weakest in the Three Kingdoms, and Liu Bei let Shu Han hurt his foundation before he died, and Zhuge Liang couldn't afford to pay for it! Twenty rewards and punishments may not seem like much, but twenty for one piece, two thousand for a hundred! No accumulation of steps, no thousands of miles. If there is no cautious accumulation, why did Zhuge Liang insist on the weakness of Shu Han for more than ten years?

Many people say that the defeat of Shu Han in history stems from Zhuge Liang, he will not cultivate talents, nor will he use people, but who can use Shu Han? A country cannot be supported by one or two people, even if Jiang Wei and others have experienced it, what can they do? In the face of Cao Wei's huge population base, Shu Han had to be weak!

As for cultivating talents by yourself, if you want to cultivate talents in the Han Dynasty, you must not only have methods, but also money! Just books cost a lot. You must know that most of the books in the Han Dynasty were concentrated in the hands of the big families, because those books were bamboo slips. Although Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty had already invented Caihou paper, that kind of thing is not easy to preserve, not to mention, it is not durable, and the price is not cheap.

Historically, Liu Bei was a poor man all his life, and with Zhuge Liang, he became a little richer. But he was defeated in Yiling, ruining Zhuge Liang's hard work for more than ten years, and he died of shame and anger, leaving only a mess of internal and external troubles! It can be said that when Liu Bei was lonely, it was not much better than when he invited Zhuge Liang out of the mountain in Xinye!

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and Zhuge Liang also wants to be majestic, but the foundation of Shu Han is there, and he can't be atmospheric, so he can only accumulate bit by bit, and then use it to fight and nourish the war, so that Shu Han can survive! Of course, some people say that since Shu Han can't support it, it would be good to surrender early and let the world be unified! This is completely ignorant of the Confucian idea of loyalty and patriotism and the idea that the ancients attached importance to orthodoxy, which is exactly the same as those who shout all day long that the five nonsense and chaos are the great integration of the nation!

After Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wan, as the prime minister, originally Zhuge Liang did something for one day, but Jiang Wan couldn't do it for three days, not because he was inexperienced, but because he was not capable enough! The Han people have been civilized for 5,000 years, and how many Zhuge Liang have appeared? Everyone only saw Zhuge Liang's ease, but who knows how much effort Zhuge Liang put in in this ease? However, under Liu Zhang, Zhuge Liang doesn't have to worry. With Liu Zhang's family background, let alone twenty, even a thousand twenty, he can afford to lose. The prime minister's bearing was born spontaneously in Zhuge Liang!

"Good!" Seeing Zhuge Liang nodding, Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Gongyuan, I know that you are very talented, but Kong Ming's talent is above you." As long as you do things seriously and complain less, I won't treat you badly, otherwise..."

"My subordinates understand!" Without waiting for Liu Zhang to finish speaking, Liao Li smiled and said: "How can a person who is a minister not have self-knowledge!" I have been in Chang'an for a long time, although it took a lot of effort to sneak into the inner city, but when I was in the outer city, I had already figured out the general situation under the command of the lord..."

"If you don't say it, I'll forget!" Liu Zhang's heart was terrified, and he immediately remembered that Cai Yan was assassinated a few years ago, and he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Gongyuan, it's not just grain and grass, there is one more thing for you to do!" From now on, I don't want any outsiders to infiltrate the inner city by any means! ”

"Yes!" Liao Li was overjoyed, he was not afraid of being busy, he was afraid that he would have nothing to do. Hearing Liu Zhang's assignment, he said loudly: "My subordinates will definitely live up to the trust of the lord, and even a mosquito will never want to sneak into the inner city!" ”

"Don't talk big!" Liu Zhang said coldly: "Zhang Ren, from now on, you will assist Liao Li in managing Chang'an, if there is any assassination incident, only the two of you will ask!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Ren's heart was also in his heart, Liu Zhang handed over the nest to him, he mixed in with the assassins last time, and this time he also let Liao Li and a scribe get in, as if he slapped him hard, how could he not care!

"That's it!" Liu Zhang waved his hand and said: "I think everyone doesn't have the heart to drink anymore, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Zhou Yu and others stay, and the others disperse!" ”

"Yes!" Except for the person named by Liu Zhang, everyone else left Liu Zhang's mansion. understood that Liu Zhang wanted to discuss important matters with Guo Jia and others, and his own waiter changed refreshments for them.

"My lord, what are you doing with us when you leave us down?" Seeing that the hall was full of people who were either close to Liu Zhang, or resourceful people, Tai Shici didn't understand why he was also left behind! In fact, the people named by Liu Zhang are all wise people, like Zhang Feizhi, although he is close to Liu Zhang, but discussing major matters has nothing to do with it.

"Ziyi, don't worry!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Everyone here is a wise person, or a general!" I will leave you behind, not only to clean up the Qiang people, but also to do more important things! ”

"I beg my lord's orders!" When everyone heard this, they immediately sat upright, just waiting for Liu Zhang to give orders!

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this, I stayed here to wait, I want you to think of a way to solve the problem of grain and grass!" As we all know, since our army fought with Yuan Shao, in order to defeat Yuan Shao, a large amount of grain and grass has been lost. Now, the food and grass under his command are stretched thin, and I can't make ends meet, I don't know what good ideas you have! ”

Grain and grass, not only Cao Ying is nervous, but even Liu Zhang's command is scarce, and the only one who is not nervous about grain and grass is estimated to be Jiangdong! But Jiangdong and Liu Zhang are separated by Cao Ying, not to mention that it is impossible for Cao Ying to let Liu Zhang transport grain from his territory, even if it is Jiangdong, it is impossible to sell grain with Liu Zhang! After listening to Liu Zhang's question, everyone fell into deep thought.

"Lord, I heard that the people under our rule almost do not pay agricultural taxes, you might as well raise taxes, or you will be able to collect more grain!" Liao has come up with one of the most common and versatile methods. When all the princes do not have enough food and grass, they will exploit the people under their rule!

"This is not a plan!" Liu Zhang said with a smile: "The tax law is the most important thing for the country, although we are short of food now, but we can't change it overnight!" In my opinion, starting from me, no taxes can be raised under the rule of the Great Han! All taxes, only transaction tax and income tax are charged! ”

"What is income tax?" As for the transaction tax, Liu Zhang's command is already collecting, and everyone understands it. But the income tax, everyone doesn't understand!

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Income tax is a general term for the amount of income that is taxed. To put it simply, no matter what occupation you have, you will have income, which is taxed according to your personal income! For example, if a craftsman works for others and earns a thousand dollars, this thousand dollars is his income, and he needs to pay taxes. Of course, the degree of taxation of this tax needs to be controlled, and a fixed proportion needs to be determined! ”

"According to the lord, not everyone in the world has to pay taxes?" The family and officials are often the main ones in tax evasion, and if Liu Zhang does this, he will definitely offend the family, and everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"That's nature!" Liu Zhang sneered: "The family did not pay taxes under various excuses, and in the end, they became rich enough to rival the country, and gradually became ambitious. Who is unlucky? It's not the country, the people! So don't let them get too rich! It's really hard to do these things in peacetime. But if there is chaos today, whether it is the system or the policy, it can be changed! If you don't break it, you can't stand it, and if you don't accept it, you won't be forgiven! ”

"This..."Everyone heard a chill from Liu Zhang's words, but Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Zhuge Liang heard something different! If you pay taxes according to Liu Zhang's method, the more the people earn, the richer the country, as the so-called wealth is hidden from the people, and the people are rich and the country is strong!

"The lord's strategy is very good, and his subordinates admire it!" Zhuge Liang is proficient in internal affairs, so he can naturally see the benefits of income tax, and he smiled slightly: "It's just that there are still some omissions and difficulties in it, and it can't be implemented in a hurry!" ”

"Of course I do!" Liu Zhang said: "Kong Ming, you are proficient in internal affairs, and this matter will be handed over to you." ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "In fact, the quality of the policy can be tried in a place, and please publicize it!" ”

"That's true!" Liu Zhang smiled: "Let's merge the state!" The population of Bingzhou is not large, the family is scarce, and the power of the rebound will be much smaller, and the history of the Bingzhou Assassin is your friend Meng Jian, he will definitely help you, don't worry about Yang Feng Yin! ”

"Lord, my subordinates are still a little worried! Most of the officials in various places come from families, how can they obediently let the lord introduce the new tax? "As the saying goes: there is a policy above, and there is a countermeasure below. Liao Li, as a poor family, naturally knows the current situation of the Han Dynasty, although he doesn't like the family very much, but most of the court officials are the children of the family, especially the grassroots officials! Hades is better, but the little ghost is difficult. If these grassroots officials make trouble, the harm will be even greater than that of high-ranking officials!
