Guan Yu needs to find such a person, start cultivating and let him take responsibility from now on, and then he will be able to serve as a director for himself, such a person who can share his worries, Guan Yu thought that the warrior who went out had returned, and presented the results of the investigation to Guan Yu, Guan Yu looked at the list carefully, and his face became solemn: Dong Cheng is the general who leads the chariot and cavalry as the uncle of the country, and the annual salary is Wu Qianshi; His son Dong Yue is now the captain of Fengche and eats 2,000 stones; Situ Huang Wan, the annual Yu Lu is Wu Qianshi, and his son Huang Kui eats 2,000 stones for his servants; Taiwei Yang Biao's annual salary is Wu Qianshi, and his son Yang Xiu is now Langzhong eating 1,000 stones; The captain of the Yue Cavalry planted 3,000 stones, and his sub-breed ate 1,000 stones for joining the army; The prince of the Ministry of Works served 3,000 stones; Generals Wu Zilan and Wu Shuo ate 2,000 stones each; Yilang Zhao Yan eats two thousand stones

Guan Yu is such a good guy, these people's income has reached 33,000 stones a year, what kind of concept is this? If it is replaced with food, it can support more than 20,000 people for a year! That is, so many Yu Lu can arm more than 20,000 people, Guan Yu doesn't matter, it's shocking! These people take so much money from the treasury every year, and looking at their positions and what they do, many times they are redundant, insignificant, and even in the way! They are all people who do nothing, but they sit and eat empty every year!

The more Guan Yu thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, as a family member in power, now Guan Yu has to care about the income and expenditure, especially to grasp the financial situation of Luoyang, and pay attention to the population, finance, army, and government affairs under his rule. We all have to rely on taxation to tax the vast number of peasants! With the hard-earned money of the peasants to support the operation of this social society, how can the peasants not suffer? What's more, there are still many corrupt officials and corrupt officials who take advantage of the people and exploit the people.

This era was a completely agrarian-based society, and most of the financial revenue came from agricultural production, from the land cultivated by millions of peasants, who had to pay rents and taxes for farming, and in addition to servitude. The peasants are miserable! This is why there have been so many peasant uprisings in history, such as the Chen Sheng, Wu Guang uprising, the Yellow Turban uprising, and especially the Yellow Turban Uprising, which is what happened now, which shows that today's society has been extremely dark and the peasants cannot live.

Guan Yu, as a leader from a peasant, if you don't consider this, then you are mediocre, no matter how capable you are, no matter how resourceful and brave you are, you will still be overthrown if you force the peasants to be in a hurry, "water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat" This is not an empty phrase! After reading this data today, Guan Yu has mixed feelings! It seems that it will not work without a top-down reform. The first is to reform the rule of officials, how many people in the current court are people who take money and do nothing? Just like these people mentioned in these lists, how much can the so-called loyal servants do? Some positions are simply non-existent, causing people to be superfluous and unnecessary.

At the end of the Western Expedition, Guan Yu thought about rectifying himself after returning to Luoyang, especially the finances, because he decided to exempt the people from taxes for one year, so that the people could recuperate and develop production. Now Guan Yu's finances are not tight. If you have an army of 200,000, you will have to pay for 200,000 troops. It is also necessary to focus on the development of weapons and equipment, which requires a lot of money to maintain, and no one can suffer the army, otherwise it will directly affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. Guan Yu also wants to build a naval army, as a new type of military naval army, the construction cost of the naval army can be imagined, Guan Yu has gained a lot of wealth by inheriting Dong Zhuo's collection of modern things. But the money was soon to be spent, and in just four months of a westward expedition, he spent half of the money, and of course this half of the money allowed him to realize the specialization of the military branches, which is a great achievement.

This time I returned to Luoyang and spent a lot of financial resources after a fierce battle. The remaining financial resources can be imagined, in the future, we will continue to give the navy a steady stream of investment, but also to develop farmland and water conservancy construction, which is a lot of investment, and the army's salary expenditure is carried out throughout, now Guan Yu is in charge of Luoyang, the power is in his hands, but he has not touched the treasury one or two lines of silver, his huge expenses are all from himself, and he has been spending the income he has gotten, but this time the decision to exempt taxes has been implemented, what should the government and the central government spend on it? The entire country has to continue to operate normally, all the officials at the top and bottom have to spend, and it is definitely not possible to have insufficient money and insufficient funds, and now there is a very prominent contradiction in front of Guan Yu, what contradiction? That is, the officials have to spend money, but he has to exempt the people from taxes, which directly affects the fiscal revenue, and the huge expenditure has not been reduced, where can he get so much silver to tide over this crisis?

Guan Yu doesn't know how much money is still in the current treasury, but one thing he will know is that if there is no money to maintain the expenses of these officials and lords, they will inevitably continue to exploit the people, and the exemption from taxes will become an empty word, so this contradiction must be resolved, to solve this contradiction Guan Yu has already thought about it when he was in Sanfu, there are three measures to alleviate, one is to streamline the administration of the elite army, as for the elite soldiers, he can let the troops develop Tuntian by themselves and achieve self-sufficiency; In fact, there are two aspects of reducing the administration: one is to streamline the personnel, and on the other hand, it is to reduce unnecessary post settings, and if there are no posts, there will be no personnel, and if there are no personnel, there will be no expenses.

After careful analysis and careful calculation, Guan Yu soon brewed a plan, the above-mentioned ministers want to do things, which just gives Guan Yu a suitable opportunity, he wants to take this opportunity to implement a large number of layoffs in the entire jurisdiction, there are no unnecessary positions, and those who are not needed will be taken, Guan Yu carefully calculated that if this measure is implemented, it can save at least more than 100,000 taels of gold, and this money is enough to support his 100,000 army for half a year's military expenses, But Guan Yu also pondered that if he did this, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the affairs of the entire imperial court, although some people did not do anything, but there were many protégés and former officials who had reigned for so many years, and they had a wide range of contacts. The influence should not be underestimated, just like a big tree with deep roots and many branches, pulling out one and bringing out one piece will inevitably cause panic

However, Guan Yu thought about it and it would not work if he did not carry out reforms, and now there are three factors that push him to urgently need reform, those three aspects. One is the need for a strong army in the future, but also the need for hegemony in the future, looking at today, he has been advancing on the road to a strong army, it can be said that he has truly realized the elite soldiers, and has a certain advantage in military affairs, his troops are strong in combat effectiveness, and the weapons and equipment are also keeping up, after so many years of excavation, Guan Yu has also gathered a group of generals around him. Not only is the quality good but also loyal enough to compete with any prince in the world, in addition to this, he now has a strategist, in the military Guan Yu has gathered a lot of talents, the number of the army dare not say that it is the largest in the world and one of the best, which for Guan Yu to be in a favorable position in the future hegemony to win the opportunity.

For so many years, Guan Yu has always attached great importance to military affairs, so that his military soon rose to become the best among many princes, and with his strong military Guan Yu defeated one challenge after another, winning one war after another. And expanded the territory in a short period of time, Guan Yu truly realized his "dream of a strong army". Compared with his military achievements, Guan Yu's achievements in government affairs and economy were too few, and his debts were very large, and the land under his rule was not rich or developed compared to other princes and regions, and the economy of the region under his jurisdiction was seriously damaged by years of war. The development is very lagging behind, and throughout the rest of the world, especially Xuzhou and Jingzhou, because there are fewer wars, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the economic development has never stagnated, and the region is very rich. Naturally, the financial resources are also quite expensive. Compared with these regions, there is really a gap between Guan Yu's region, and if this gap is not resolved or bridged, it will eventually directly hinder military development. It is imperative to develop agricultural production and increase fiscal revenues, and there must be no delay, and streamlining the administration is only the first step.

The second reason has been mentioned above that the finances are tight, we must implement the streamlining of the army, we must reduce the personnel, reduce the burden on the people to resume production, and the other point is that Guan Yu is now in control of Luoyang's military and personnel, and the next step is to further control the treasury and finance, achieve rule in the true sense, and become a veritable leader, so he must know how to effectively control the budget, understand the income and expenditure, and compete for hegemony in the future. It's better to have the final say, of course, Guan Yu has to take a lot of resistance and risk by doing this, it's like a storm, and he has the final say on the financial power, so what else is there to offer the emperor? That's the real puppet, but if you want to control the financial power, Guan Yu has to plan a new position for herself, what position? That is the position of prime minister, and when he becomes prime minister, he has real power in government affairs, economy or finance, and he has the final say, so he becomes the "number one" in the real sense.

The third reason why Guan Yu wants to streamline the government is that as a modern person, a leader, a diligent pursuit of progressive, Guan Yu is very unfamiliar with the phenomenon of people floating in things, in the army, especially in his army, there is almost no wine bag and rice bag, let alone still people, not to mention that they are elites and people who do things, it can be said that there is no food for nothing, and then look at how many people in the imperial court are doing practical things? And how many of them are fictitious? And how many people are paid empty salaries? It is said that the imperial court is extremely corrupt, can it not be corrupt in this situation? An emperor with seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards is still few, and there must be servants, there are more than ten eunuchs around an emperor, there is no political matter except for chaotic government, Guan Yu is angry every time he sees this phenomenon, if this phenomenon is not broken, it will inevitably affect his future, do you want to compete for hegemony? You want to calm the world, but even this mess has to be dragged down by you, this is the answer to that sentence: you can save the hole and wait! No matter how capable and capable you Guan Yu are, you can't help tossing you like this in the backyard, no matter how capable Zhuge Liang is, isn't it also a dead country, this is a living example and a painful lesson. Guan Yu can't watch the wealth he has accumulated with great effort to spend on these useless people, he doesn't know the cost of firewood and rice, and the wealth he has accumulated with great difficulty, but the wealth that the soldiers have exchanged for blood has to feed a group of wasted people, Guan Yu is angry no matter how he thinks about it.

Guan Yu must no longer tolerate the repetition of this mistake, now he is more and more aware of the importance of reform, this court is like a long-term illness of a person who can't do without surgery, and this task and mission falls on Guan Yu's head, Guan Yu wants to be inspired to be a strong man and a wise lord, he doesn't want to be a puppet and doesn't want others to lead the way. He doesn't want to compromise with anyone, for so many years, he has never compromised with heaven and earth and man, never flinched, he has always appeared as a winner, there is no such thing in his concept, as long as the goal he has set must be achieved. Guan Yu, who has been crawling in blood and fire, has such self-confidence, "I am confident that if I live for 200 years, I will block water and hit 3,000 miles", Guan Yu's life for so many years is so calm and confident.

This time he once again pushed to the forefront, this has been countless times, whether it is a coup d'état in the army, or in the face of a complicated passive situation, or under various sieges or even this kind of reform and coup, Guan Yu has almost no leisure time, he has always been surrounded by such and such challenges and crises for more than ten years, and there are few comfortable moments to share. Maybe that's his fate? Guan Yu not only tortured himself again and again: Is this kind of life tiring or not, although he is as solid as a rock now, but sometimes he is still lonely and innumerable, yes! It is really not easy to be an excellent leader as a leader, and it is even more difficult to be an excellent leader, the ups and downs of this are not described in words, although Guan Yu has just been in charge of Luoyang for a short time, but he deeply feels that the burden on his body is increasing day by day, and the pressure from promoting the development of the cause is also increasing invisibly. This pressure on his heart also increased.

Ten years of trees, if you replace a sapling with ten years can grow into a towering tree, is such a concept. In ten years, Guan Yu has gone from a pure general in a simple sense to today's leader in charge of all-round work, just like he once dreamed, he did it, this dream is so difficult and full of blood, this dream is so bumpy and brilliant, today he is still working hard and still focusing on promoting reform, in fact, he doesn't have to do it at all. He can live a chic life like many kings in history, and he doesn't have to live so tired, or he can live a blissful life day and night like some monarchs, "every day of the spring night, every day and noon, and the king will not go to court early", or he can sing and dance every day like some kings, and enjoy the joy of sound and lust; You can also travel like some kings, swim in all directions, and be like some kings, like dogs, birds and beasts, in short, to live a chic life, he Guan Yu is not impossible. With his current status and power, he can live like the people mentioned above, completely put aside politics and military, and can be a leader in a paradise, let go and enjoy himself, just like Dong Zhuo.

In fact, although he Guan Yu will not be as depraved as mentioned above, he can do what he likes to his heart's content, he also has his own hobbies, such as martial arts, reading, drinking, playing chess, horseback riding, swimming, traveling, but for so many years, he has not been able to make time to enjoy the chic, he put all his young life into his dreams, so many years he has been diligently pursuing his dreams until he reached the pinnacle of power, it can be said that he has not lived up to himself, but also not to live up to history, and also did not live up to the reputation of the second master, Now it is only the first step of the Long March to sell, he still has a long way to go, Guan Yu is not compared with those who are bad, he wants to compare with those who are strong, and he also wants to do what others can do, it is such a mess, he wants to turn the tide and make this wasted cause bigger and stronger, this is his mission and his pursuit.

Can't stop because there is a stumbling block ahead, there is pressure and motivation, Guan Yu wants to turn pressure into motivation to promote reform strongly, take this time he must be strong to survive this hurdle, reform is not possible but necessary is necessary, if this thing is not done will directly affect the realization of his grand cause, there is no way back to this point, Guan Yu made up his mind, no matter how much resistance he encountered, he will push forward strongly, from a simple military general to a politician who promotes reform, Guan Yu must pursue excellence no matter what field he is in, leading the military to be invincible, leading government affairs to promote reform, he also spares no effort to achieve the goal, precisely because he is a soldier and because he is in charge of the military, Guan Yu has the determination and courage to promote reform, of course, he also has this strength.

There is a saying that "the political power is obtained from the barrel of the gun", in this era, that is, the political power is obtained from the military power, with the military power to seize power, it is no longer a problem, of course, it is also necessary to consider the whole, if it is not done well, it will inevitably shake the foundation, Guan Yu has had experience in promoting political reform before, the last time was to collect the modern, until the modern is completely eradicated, it is precisely because of the strong military power that he was able to eradicate such a large force entrenched in Luoyang, and this time Guan Yu decided to ask the government with military power, He wants to reorganize the entire Luoyang imperial court, let Luoyang's officialdom have a big change, start from the purpose of streamlining the administration, eliminate all unnecessary posts, reduce unnecessary personnel, reduce expenses, eliminate all opposites and dissidents, and truly achieve the root cause, so as to realize the great governance of the entire Luoyang officialdom and provide a good internal environment for the future hegemony of the world.
