Chapter Forty-Nine: Xu Du Fengyun!
"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
"Everyone loves Qing's body!" Seeing Li Yu's head, Emperor Han Xian was very happy, many years of evil anger can finally come out, Li Yu died, Pei Mao, who followed him to Xudu, controlled Chang'an and Luoyang, and returned to the national capital, is the good day of the king of the world coming?
"Zhong Aiqing, Pei Mao has a meritorious role in quelling the chaos, and I have decided to make Pei Mao the Marquis of Jiping! to highlight its merits. ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!" For the subjugation of Chang'an and Luoyang, the ministers are still very happy, of course, they have to pat Liu Xie's ass.
"Cao Aiqing? What is Cao Aiqing's opinion on rewarding the generals in Guanzhong? ”
"Your Majesty agrees to His Majesty's reward without any objection!"
"Okay, after I make a decision, I will send someone to Chang'an to reward the generals!" Cao Cao didn't have any objections to his decision, it was really happy!
Looking at Liu Xie's proud appearance, Lu Rui shook his head helplessly, stupid, stupid is really a big stupid, he didn't even know when he entered the pit.
"Retreat!" Liu Xie saw that today's court meeting had achieved his goal, so he happily retreated from the court, Cao Cao also returned to Sikong Mansion with Lu Rui, Cao Ang has woken up, but his body is relatively weak, and he should recuperate and see his son!
"Rui'er? Let's go to the house to see first, did the eldest lady really go to the city to incense? ”
Wife Cao? Do you want me to be a pioneer again? There is no way, I got on the thief ship, and I had to follow Lao Cao! The Buddha said: I don't go to hell? Who goes to hell? Be brave and step forward!
After Lu Rui confirmed that Ding Laohu was not in the house, Cao Cao entered Cao Ang's room, and Lu Rui was outside.
"Father!" Mi Shi saw Cao Cao and hurriedly bowed.
"Father, father!" Cao Ang also had to stiffen up and salute Cao Cao.
"Zixiu, no need to be polite, lie down and rest!" Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward to support Cao Ang.
Seeing that Cao Ang's face was still a little pale, Cao Cao couldn't help but shed tears and said: "Zixiu, my father can't stand you, my father really can't stand you, if you die unfortunately?" For a father? ”
Looking at Cao Cao's sad appearance, Cao Ang also left tears and comforted Cao Cao and said: "Don't be sad for your father, it is the responsibility of the son of man to break off the child for his father, if anything happens to his father, my Cao family will die!" ”
"Okay, Zixiu, my Cao Mengde has a son like this, why worry about the great cause?" After speaking, Cao Cao's happy laughter came from the room.
The love between father and son is deep! "Goo, goo, goo!" No way? This is the code agreed between Lu Rui and the people in the house, Ding Laohu is back so soon?
"Middle father, middle father, go quickly, the eldest mother is back!" Lu Rui immediately rushed into Cao Ang's room.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Ang and said, "Zixiu, rest well, and after you recover, my father will hold a banquet for you in the mansion." Congratulations to Zixiu for his achievements in Wancheng! ”
"Father?"
"Zixiu, you also know your mother's temper, for the sake of your father, you should leave first!"
Cao Ang nodded, watching Cao Cao and Lu Rui get out of their room and go to the back door of the courtyard!
Cao Ang looked at the figures of the two in the distance, and suddenly remembered something. "Father, father?" It's a pity that the two have already gone far. In order not to disturb Cao Ang's rest, Ding Laohu sealed the back door!
"Father, what's going on?" Seeing that the original back had become a stone wall, Lu Rui was stunned, and Cao Cao was also stunned. Ding Laohu sealed this place, what should I do? The courtyard of Cao Ang's bedroom is relatively small, if you stay here, Ding Laohu will definitely find out!
"Rui'er?" Cao Cao found that Lu Rui was gone.
"Father, I'm here!" It turned out that Lu Rui came from the hollow wall, there was a pattern on the wall, it was a chime pattern, and there were relatively large oval hollows on both sides, and children in their teens could just come over! (Ding Laohu hurriedly closed the door, and there were also inappropriate places.) )
"Rui'er, you're over, what should I do?" The wife Cao stomped her feet anxiously, the adult Cao Cao can't come over, and he will definitely get stuck!
"Father Zhong, climb up!" Lu Rui pointed to the wall, there is a hollow pattern, which is the focus point, and you can climb over.
When Cao Cao heard this, he was stunned for a moment and crawled over? Although when I was young, when I robbed someone's daughter-in-law, I often did this kind of thing, but? Right now?
Not far away, there was a bustling voice, and Ding Laohu approached! Cao Cao didn't say a word, and as soon as he slipped away, he climbed to the fence and stared at it.
Damn, wife Cao, is really a master of grabbing women over the wall, so fast? Practice makes perfect! It didn't take ten seconds to get to the top!
"Mother, slow down, this is the steps, be careful!" Mi was reminding Cao Cao and Lu Rui that Ding Laohu was going to enter the courtyard.
When Cao Cao heard this, he flew away, jumped off the wall, pounced, and fell down like a king.
"What sound?"
"My mother may have been made by someone from the yard next door, I'll take a look!"
"Middle Father, let's go, what are you still doing here?"
Lu Rui picked up Cao Cao and ran towards the gate of Sikong Mansion in a puff of smoke.
"My lord?" At night, Guo Jia came to the manor to report the situation to Cao Cao, but as soon as he entered the room, he found that Cao Cao's eye was swollen, and Zou was kneading it for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, motioned for Zou to go down, and then said, "Fengxiao, don't be surprised, Rui'er and I went back to Sikong Mansion in the morning." ”
"Oh!" When Guo Jia heard this, he suddenly realized that something must have happened, and the lord became like this.
"Bong-hyo? How's the plan going? Cao Cao touched his swollen eyes and gritted his teeth with a pained expression.
Guo Jia arched his hand and said, "My lord, we have already transported the things to Chang'an according to His Majesty's reward, and at the end of the month, the ministers will know that it is powerful." When the time comes, the lord has recovered from his injuries, so he can go and take care of them! Guo Jia's last sentence was said with a smile.
Seeing Guo Jia's tears and laughter, Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "Fengxiao, if you want to laugh, laugh out, you and I are both temperamental, this is not the court, laugh!" ”
Guo Jia finally couldn't help laughing, Cao Cao saw Guo Jia laughing, and asked: "Fengxiao, it's not good to have a bad wife in the family, what can Fengxiao do?" ”
The two began to discuss how to deal with the tigress at home, and left Lu Rui aside, he is really a strict wife, good brother!
"Your Majesty, we have no food, please Your Majesty is the master for us!" Time passed quickly, it was already the end of the month, and the ministers of the imperial court did not get the Yulu, and began to complain to Liu Xie.
"Lord Yang? What's going on? Liu Xie angrily asked Yang Biao.
Yang Biao arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Yanzhou's taxes are insufficient, and the central government has no money to distribute and no grain to distribute!" ”
"What?" Liu Xie was stunned.
"Your Majesty, this is the central government's tax this year!" After speaking, Yang Biao handed the treasury list to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie looked at the table and was stunned, the rewards he gave to Pei Mao and the generals of Guanzhong basically used up the money in the treasury, what should the civil and military officials do? Liu Xie looked at Yang Biao and said, "Tomorrow convene the ministers to discuss countermeasures!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" After speaking, Yang Biao withdrew.
"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
"The Qing family is flat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Zhong Aiqing, the treasury has been empty recently, and there are no officials to come out, why is this? Cao Aiqing? "As soon as Liu Xie went to court, he gave Cao Cao a dismount.
Cao Cao was also prepared, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty rewarded the generals of Guanzhong, but it was used too much, and the central tax was insufficient, so it was impossible to spend the money, and the ministers did not receive the money!" ”
Cao Cao deliberately raised his tone and told the ministers, it was Liu Xie who made your Yulu shine, and my old Cao didn't get it, Your Majesty? How do you say?
"Why is the treasury empty?" As soon as Liu Xie heard Cao Cao's questioning, he immediately became angry and began to fight back against Cao Cao.
"Your Majesty, the emptiness of the treasury is due to excessive use, and the treasury cannot cover its expenditure!" Yang Biao stood up and reported to Liu Xieyu.
Is it actually Yang Biao coming out? Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, Yang Biao actually spoke for Cao Cao this time? Liu Xie asked: "Old Aiqing?" Is there any evidence? ”
"This is a list of central taxes, please take a look at your majesty!" After speaking, Yang Biao handed over the tax form.
Liu Xie looked at the table and was stunned, he actually sent all the rice, grain, and money of the central officials in the next three months. What can I do? Liu Xie looked at everyone and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, the treasury is so empty, can taxes be raised to enrich the treasury?" ”
"Your Majesty, no, the thirty taxes and one tax were set by Emperor Guangwu, how can they be abolished?"
"Your Majesty, never!" Then a group of courtiers stood up one after another and began to oppose Liu Xie.
Thirty taxes one, the tax system of the founding of the Han Dynasty, one-thirtieth of the land tax is paid to the state by the landowner, known as the most lenient tax in Chinese history, and it is also the urging of the Han Dynasty's land annexation.
Liu Xie actually wants to move thirty taxes and one? What stupidity! Lu Rui shook his head helplessly, the tax law of thirty taxes and one is the foundation of the Great Han clan and the landlords of the Han family, Liu Xie is hot-headed here?
In the early days of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the land was re-nationalized, and Emperor Guangwu rearranged the distribution of land and divided a lot of heroes, but most of the land was still in the hands of the state!
Although there are very few fiefs of meritorious heroes, there are many people who receive food and have money in their hands? What to do? Investing in gold is definitely not as good as investing in land, SB knows that it is better to buy land with extra money! Over time, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Land annexation became the direct cause of the destruction of the Eastern Han Dynasty! (Taxes are paid by the landlords to the state, and the land rent is paid by the peasants to the landlords, and the land rent is generally half of the land output, so the broad masses of peasants are still exploited!) )
The difference between the scholars and the poor landlords was only the amount of land owned, and the change in taxes directly affected the interests of the landowners. Liu Xie was helpless, so he waved his hand and said, "This matter will be postponed and discussed!" ”
"Retreat!" It's over!
In the days that followed, there were ancient wonders in Xudu, the central officials of the Han Dynasty begged for food from the local officials of Yanzhou, the central officials were hungry, and the Yanzhou officials were full of fat! Cao Cao Yanzhou has money, in order to show loyalty, Yanzhou's scholars Cao clan, Xiahou clan, Xun clan, Chen clan, Lu clan and so on have donated money to Cao Cao to support Yanzhou's finances and political investment, there will definitely be a return in the future! Cao Cao rejoices, Yanzhou soldiers and civilians are united!
On Cao Cao's Sikong Mansion, there were large and small bamboo slips in front of Cao Cao, and a hill was also piled up in front of Lu Rui. What is it? There is a very awesome name in the future generations: Vote for the name!
The central officials of Xudu have said that they have been sitting in high positions for a long time, and they hope to go down to the grassroots level to exercise, and ask for vacancies for Yanzhou officials. Why? Because Yanzhou officials can send it on time!
Cao Cao looked at so many nominations, and his face bloomed with a smile!
Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to the lord, these courtiers, after being hungry, they will definitely know who their mother is!" ”
"Haven't I become their mother?" Cao Cao thought of this and laughed!
Cao Cao then handed the bamboo slip to Xun You and said: "Gongda, choose those who can be loyal to us, use them according to their talents, and let them fend for themselves!" ”
"Yes, my lord!"
Lu Rui couldn't cry or laugh at these votes, there were officials like Dahonglu of the imperial court who begged Lu Rui to be the housekeeper of the Qihou Mansion, how could Lu Rui not know that his housekeepers were so valuable? Can it be compared with the central staff? I rummaged through it, and there were no available talents, so I handed it over to Ling'er to cook on the fire, bamboo, don't waste it, and be environmentally friendly!
Sikong Mansion is used for the amount of talent, and no one is available in Liu Xie's palace!
Liu Xie summoned his ministers in the inner court to discuss how to solve the problem of the empty treasury, but when he saw the people, he was dumbfounded, and most of them were missing? Liu Xie hurriedly asked, "Lord Yang, where did the other adults go?" ”
"Your Majesty, some adults have returned to their hometowns." Xu doesn't have anything to eat, you can always go back to your hometown, there is still land in the township! It's the end of the bush!
"Your Majesty, some adults have already obtained official positions in Yanzhou, and they have no face to come to see Your Majesty!" This is Dong Cheng!
"Your Majesty, some of the adults have gone to serve other princes because of hunger!" This is Yang Biao!
Listening to the answers of the three people, Liu Xie's center of gravity was unstable and he sat on the dragon chair, Cao Mengde? Got you winning again!
