Chapter 149: Where Have the People Gone?
"My lord, what is a white paper?" Sima Yi exclaimed.
Including Sima Yi, everyone was stunned by the new words that were not born at the high level.
Gao Yuan said with a smile: "The meaning of this white paper is very simple, that is, the official document of my annexation state, representing the position of my annexation state, paying attention to clear facts, clear positions, standardized writing, concise writing, and no literary color." Among them, they may express their understanding and cognition of a certain aspect of the current or future politics, economy, and society, and their views and opinions have a certain degree of representativeness and authority! ”
Before Zhao Yun and the others could react, Sima Yi and the other ministers had a certain understanding, and they were immediately surprised, "This is the lord who wants to issue another authoritative proclamation in the imperial court." ”
Everyone is happy in their hearts, because no one is optimistic about the Han family now, the lord is ambitious, and his subordinates are motivated.
Especially the lofty forces, which are different from forces like Cao Cao, within Cao Cao's forces, there may be those who are interested in the Han family.
And within the lofty forces, there are instructors who are ideologically educated, and they know that the decadent Han family and the scholar class are no longer able to undertake the mission of ending the troubled times. Now the upper and lower levels have become a force, that is, to follow Gao Yuan, defeat the old evil forces, and establish a new peaceful world.
Sima Yi and others expressed their admiration, "The lord casually poured out a word, and it has a profound meaning!" ”
Gao Yuan was very embarrassed, and said in his heart that I was learning from the future generations. But then again, in this era, I am afraid he is the only one who can learn from him. This is the advantage of the traverser, as long as it can successfully gather a group of people, it will be able to thrive under the advanced concepts of later generations.
Of course, this is also inseparable from Gao Yuan's ability to connect with future generations, and it is not possible to blindly learn from it, but it is still necessary to combine it with the times. Gao Yuan can develop. It is inseparable from the success of his political system, which is full of lofty characteristics.
After Xu Shu was amazed, he couldn't help asking: "Lord, how to write this white paper?" ”
"I'll tell you, you write it." Gao Yuan waved his hand and said.
Half an hour later. The world's first white paper was born.
This white paper is called "The Present and Past of the Merge State"
This white paper was taught by Gao Yuan, and everyone admired this new way of writing. Xu Shu blew the ink and began to read.
The full text is roughly as follows:
1. The darkness and backwardness of the old annexed states
2. Embark on the road of development and progress
3. A system that conforms to the people
Fourth, vigorously seek the well-being of the people.
The article points out that in the old annexed states, only one percent of the population was the two major classes, the gentry, and corrupt officials. Possession of almost all the arable land, pastures, forests, mountains, rivers, river beaches, and most of the livestock, while the common people, who account for as much as 99 percent of the population, do not own any means of production and are subjected to cruel exploitation.
In the new prefectures, officials who make up less than 1 percent of the population hardly own land, while the common people, who account for 99 percent of the population, own almost all of the land. He didn't suffer any exploitation and lived a happy life.
Old annexation state. More than 200 kinds of taxes were levied by the government. In order to survive, the people had to borrow money from the nobles. However, year after year, month after month, the people could not afford to pay the taxes, so the scholars confiscated the people's houses and other property "openly". As a result, the common people became de facto slaves, and civilization regressed as a result.
In fact, there are only two kinds of taxes levied by the government, one is agricultural tax and the other is commercial tax.
In the old annexed state. At most, there were more than 1,000 children of the scholar clan, studying in their respective families' schools. The illiteracy rate in the state is a terrifying 99 percent.
In Xinju Prefecture, the governor Gao Yuan issued an order for education for all, and he took a considerable part of the limited financial revenue, and the people only had to bear a small part of the cost to enter the school to learn cultural knowledge.
In the old annexed states, although taxes were extensive, in official records, the revenue was 5% of the imperial court's overall revenue.
In Xinjuzhou, when the people had land, they had a large amount of money, and after purchasing all kinds of goods that only the former nobles could afford, the development of commerce was promoted, and the fiscal revenue increased tenfold compared with the past.
In the old annexed states, the maternal mortality rate was as high as 5 per 1,000 and the infant mortality rate was as high as 1 per 1,000.
In Xinhe Prefecture, the state Mu Gaoyuan established a medical school to train doctors and specialized nurses, and the maternal mortality rate was almost non-existent, and the infant mortality rate was close to zero.
And so on and so forth, not satisfied.
When Xu Shu finished reading, like Zhao Yun and others, they vividly knew that after the lord came to Bingzhou, Bingzhou developed so well, it was simply heaven.
Everyone was inexplicably excited, and under the leadership of the military advisors Sima Yi and Xu Shu, Qi Shushu knelt in the hall and shouted: "We swear to follow the lord to the death, open up the prosperous world, and save the people." ”
Like Zhao Yun, who is truly for the people, his eyes are red. They can't help but think that what the Han family is, it's all bullshit, only when the lord becomes the emperor, the world can have a good life, and what the instructor said is right.
Gao Yuan was deeply touched, personally went down to the court, supported his famous ministers and generals one by one, patted them on the shoulder, and said: "You and I will work together to do something for the people of the world." ”
Everyone, under this righteousness, is loyal, MAX, directly into a horizontal bar.
This is the theory of relativity proposed by Gao Yuan, without contrast, without knowing the enormity of change.
The white paper concludes by saying that everyone is welcome to come and settle in the state, and the state will give land, houses, farm tools, and even jobs.
When everyone left, Sima Yi realized something and said to Xu Shu: "My lord, this is killing two birds with one stone, after this white paper is passed out, what will the people think of the other princes." The other princes will be in turmoil, and the people's hearts will be weakened. And the prestige of our lord will skyrocket! ”
Xu Shu also drew inferences: "In the coming days, when our army goes there, it will get the support of the people." ”
Sima Yi and Xu Shu had to admire Gao Yuan, and said in their hearts that our lord was really wise and wise, and he advertised that he was right to fight the enemy.
In fact, Gao Yuan didn't think about it so much, but his policies were in line with the people's will, even if he didn't deliberately do so, things would develop like this. To put it bluntly, it's really lying in bed and sleeping, this prestige doesn't need to be brushed, and it's also a hoo-chan rise.
Sure enough, as soon as the white paper was issued, the whole world was shaken, and no prince had ever issued such an article.
Central Plains, Xu Capital, Cao Cao's Mansion, Council Hall.
Cao Cao first took a closer look at the production of the white book, and when he opened it here, his face turned black, and he slapped the table, "Gao Mengyan is too despicable and shameless. He is nakedly telling the whole world how great his own merits are, it is too shameless. What's even more shameless is that he didn't praise himself at all, so he praised himself as a flower. ”
Like Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others, their faces changed slightly, and they said in their hearts that the lord was confused and began to tell the truth. They thought again: "Gao Mengyan's move is also ruthless enough, and all the princes' prestige among the people will be cleared at once, only he, Gao Mengyan, is the one who saves the country and the people." ”
Guo Jia couldn't help but say: "Gao Mengyan actually has such a means, but when he was in Xu Du before, he didn't see it. ”
How fresh, Gao Yuan hasn't crossed it before, isn't this crossing?
"Don't be foolish, hurry up and come out like a countermeasure? The previous Gao Mengyan? In the past, Gao Mengyan was pretending. Cao Cao said with a dark face.
However, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others knew that Gao Yuan's move was unsolvable. Guo Jia said bluntly: "Unless the current system is reformed, it will ......." ”
Although he didn't finish speaking, Cao Cao also woke up, and in this way, the great military strategists, politicians, and poets of the ages were completely defeated under the system of our army in the future generations. is like the big bald head of later generations, staring dryly, there is no way.
However, Boss Cao is Boss Cao after all, he slapped the table and said: "Qingming officials rule, enforce the law impartially, live with the people, prohibit the scholars from enclosing land in the local area, and reduce the impact of Gao Mengyan's move as much as possible." ”
Guo Jia and others thought so.
However, the repercussions are already here.
"Report, lord, something is wrong!" At this time, Cheng Yu rushed in.
Cao Cao darkened his face and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Cheng Yu wiped his sweat and said hurriedly: "News has come from all over the country, and many people in the village have left. ”
"Where have all the people gone?" Cao Cao was taken aback.
"I'm going to merge with the state." Cheng Yu told the truth, and said: "The big landlords in various places have already had conflicts with the tenants, and they are not allowed to leave. They all asked the local garrison to support ....... ”
Cao Cao was dumbfounded.
Cheng Yu sweated in the cold and said, "The people shouted slogans one after another. ”
"What slogan?" Cao Cao glared.
It turned out that after people saw it, who didn't want to go to the state, they couldn't hide the excitement of yearning for a better life, and shouted slogans in the dispute with the local scholars.
"If you go to the state, you will have land, I will be angry, and the whole family will have a good life!" This is the slogan of men,
"Go and have a baby in Bingzhou!" Almost all women have heard the news of a pregnant woman dying in childbirth, and women have shouted such slogans.
"I'm going to study in Bingzhou and grow up!" This is the slogan of the children.
"The people of Bingzhou are rich, they are willing to spend money, and go to Bingzhou to make a fortune!" The merchants couldn't help but shout.
Cheng Yu couldn't stop sweating, and said: "The people said that if they don't have land, they don't even have personal freedom." ”
Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun Yu and others also began to sweat. Lao Jia Xu couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "These people are ruthless enough, the common people are free to plant whose land, and if they don't plant their land, they won't be able to do it." It's the same as if you don't go to your restaurant to eat, and you're going to beat me, it's too bullying. The local tyrant is an inferior gentleman, Gao Mengyan's description is really appropriate. ”
Cao Cao didn't expect a white paper to cause such a big response among the people, and he was immediately completely dumbfounded under the offensive of our army in later generations, "How can this be good?" ”
"yes, how is that good?" Everyone looked at each other, not that Guo Jia and others were not smart enough. It's that they really can't keep up with the footsteps of the combination of the high and the ancient.
In this regard, the movement guided by Gao Yuan, advocated by the people, and vigorously went to the state and opened the prelude. (To be continued......)
