Liu Cheng led his army to a halt.

The place where he stayed was a pond.

This was arranged by Dong Zhuo before moving the capital from Luoyang.

said that it was arranged by Dong Zhuo, but in fact, Dong Zhuo also discussed with Liu Cheng.

In fact, at the beginning, Dong Zhuo wanted Liu Cheng to lead troops to Tunhuayin.

Start here in Huayin and go all the way west for defense.

Liu Cheng did not agree with Dong Zhuo's suggestion.

Because Huayin is too far away from the vast area of Luoyang, it is equivalent to completely abandoning the vast area of Luoyang.

If Liu Cheng was just a simple general under Dong Zhuo, he would naturally not say anything more about this matter.

But Liu Cheng is clearly not.

He has the whole world in mind.

At this time, with Dong Zhuo's westward advance, it was only temporary, and sooner or later he would come out of Chang'an and wave his troops eastward.

In this way, it is not good to abandon such a vast area.

It is not conducive to the eastward exit of time.

So Liu Chengcheng gave Dong Zhuo some suggestions, suggesting that the easternmost defense line should be placed in Mianchi, which is more than 200 miles away from Luoyang.

In this way, the strategic depth can be greatly increased.

When the time comes, whether it is to defend, or to wave troops to the east, and whip the world, it is very advantageous!

When Dong Zhuo and Li Ru made a plan to move the capital at the beginning, they considered waving their troops to the east later, and at this time, Liu Cheng naturally agreed to such a suggestion.

Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with this, and even said to Li Ru, who became Liu Cheng's uncle, more than once, that from this incident, it can be seen that Kede is sincerely thinking about himself and has really become a family with himself.

Ren Dongzhuo would never have thought that his grandson-in-law, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes and liked him very much, said that there was a fundamental difference between waving eastward and what he understood as waving eastward!

What the two said seemed to be the same thing, but in fact, they were two different things at all.

After the army arrived at Michi, the number of people Liu Cheng treated along the way also reached an astonishing more than 10,000!

It can be seen from this that this move of the capital has done great harm to the people!

After coming to Mianchi and making arrangements for the soldiers and horses, Liu Cheng immediately began to make arrangements for the people who were treated by them.

These people, Liu Cheng is not going to take them to Chang'an, so he will stay here in Mianchi and settle down here.

Of course, it is impossible to settle so many people in one family at once.

Therefore, Liu Chengcheng got Tuntian out according to the actual situation.

More than 10,000 people were divided into 11 tuns.

The size of a tun is 1,000 people, and the 11th hoard has less than 1,000 people, and there are more than 700 people.

At this time, with the outbreak of war, there was too much ownerless wasteland, and there was no shortage of land, what was lacking was the people who cultivated the land.

At this time, time was pressing, and Liu Cheng did not have time to divide these people into one household, and then divide the fields one by one.

Such a thing is too cumbersome to do, and it is not necessary at this time.

Liu Cheng directly divided the land one by one.

These divisions are based on the topography and rivers of the place.

Because he has a lot of ownerless land, and he has to think about it a little, in the following time, the productivity will come up, and the demand for land will increase with the increase in population, so when Liu Cheng divides the land, he divides these tuns more.

It's the current ones who can't farm at all.

Then, among the eleven people's tuns, according to their ability, prestige, and the degree of goodwill and obedience to Liu Cheng, the tun chief and some other management personnel were selected and appointed.

These are all Liu Cheng personally resigned himself to his fate, even if he really wants to get things done quickly and go to Chang'an, he still insists on doing these things by himself and does not let others do it for him.

This is the embodiment of his exercise of his rights, and an important means of strengthening his control over these people's settlements and exerting his influence.

How can the core power be separated, and how can others do it for them?

It's not enough to just divide the tun, if you want these people to live, you also need to give these people start-up funds.

The start-up capital here is food!

Whether these people eat by themselves on weekdays or cultivate wasteland, they all need to be supported by food.

And this group of people is a group of people who have fallen into abject poverty.

I don't even have my own rations, let alone grow food!

These need Liu Cheng to find a way for them.

For now, what can Liu Cheng think of?

can only be pulled out of the rations of his own army.

"Uncle Huang, do you really want to divide these grains?

That's a lot of food, and it's one-fifth of our current military rations......"

Several generals under Liu Cheng gathered together to discuss the affairs of Mintun.

After calculating the amount of food that will be spent in this way, many people are distressed.

Li Su, a person who has always attached great importance to money and other things, was the first to open his mouth and express his distress.

Of course, the reason he gave was not reluctance to give, but fear that it would affect the combat effectiveness of the army.

He felt that at present, the army is the most important thing, the army is the foundation, and everything must be done closely by the army......

After he said this, many people agreed in their hearts, worried that such a thing would really happen.

Without waiting for Liu Cheng to explain, Hua Xiong, who had never spoken over there, laughed.

"O you! The pattern is small!

This matter is put on our heads, and we really have to worry about it, but is Uncle Huang the same person as us?

Don't forget, Uncle Huang is Xiangguo's own grandson-in-law!

Don't say that only one-fifth of the military rations have been taken out now, even if the military rations are taken out at once, with the imperial uncle here, can Xiangguo still watch us starving? ! ”

When Hua Xiong said this, everyone present laughed all at once, and they all said that they were really worried in vain.

I actually forgot about it.

"I didn't expect you Hua Manzi to turn your head very fast this time......"

Li Su, who was very familiar with Hua Xiong, smiled and scolded Hua Xiong.

Seeing that everyone was involved in the relationship between himself and Dong Zhuo, and such a reaction, Liu Cheng also laughed.

After a while, he waved his hand at the men, signaling them to be quiet.

Hua Xiong, Li Su, Li Jin and the others immediately quieted down.

Liu Chengcheng smiled and said, "What Brother Hua said is just one of them, and there is another thing that I didn't tell you."

That is, we do not take this grain out for nothing, and when the time comes, we want to profit from it, the land is distributed to the people, and the grain and rations are given to the people.

Even the tools, there are not many, we have to find a way.

When the time comes, we will increase the output of the ground by 30...... That's the long-term solution......"

Of course, Liu Cheng is not a charity, he only pays without asking for anything in return, if he continues like this, sooner or later he will lose himself to death.

From the output of Mintun, taking profits is the foundation of making things long-lasting.

It can promote the development of Mintun and Liu Cheng himself.

This is equivalent to collecting taxes.

After Liu Cheng finished saying this, he looked at the generals and smiled silently, waiting for these generals, happy because of the news he announced.

As a result, after waiting for a while, I found that no one said anything for a while.

Not only that, Liu Cheng also found that the eyes of these people looking at him became very strange.

Such a discovery made Liu Cheng a little confused for a while.

Did you say something wrong?

Why do people look at themselves so strangely?

"Emperor, Uncle Huang, do you really collect and collect three or three percent?"

After a while, someone finally spoke, breaking the strange silence.

The one who spoke was Li Su.

It's just that Li Su, who has always been more sharp-tongued, is not good at speaking at this time, and the whole thing is stammering.

After Li Su opened his mouth to ask this, the rest of the people present also turned their eyes over.

Obviously, what Li Su asked was the voice of all of them.

As soon as Liu Cheng saw this movement, he instantly understood that Li Su and these people were stunned by this high income!

It's right to think about it, after all, this is a thirty percent of the income!

Moreover, as long as you pay for the first year, you don't have to invest in it in the future, but you can continue to collect it.

With such big profits and benefits, it is normal for them to have such a reaction!

"Well, it's Sancheng!"

Liu Cheng nodded heavily and said with affirmation.

In my heart, I was filled with a strong sense of refreshment for a while.

However, this feeling of coolness did not last long, because Liu Cheng soon knew the truth of the matter!

These guys don't think that the 30% extract is too high and the income is too big, but they think it's too low!

Not only Li Su, but even Xu Huang, Liao Hua, and Zhao Yun, who have endured hardships and lived a hard life, also feel that the charge is low.

They generally felt that it was merciful enough to collect half of the income from the people's tuntian.

Not only will the people not be angry, but they will be grateful.

As for Li Su, a guy with a little black heart, it is recommended to charge seventy percent!

Such remarks directly made Liu Cheng stunned, and felt that many things in his heart had been subverted.

After some explanations from these guys, Liu Cheng knew that by this time, the taxes of the Han Dynasty had already been in chaos!

On the surface, there are not many taxes, but they can't stand up to all kinds of excesses and miscellaneous taxes!

Moreover, in addition to all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, there is also a fatal point that the poll tax (poll tax) is collected according to the population of the officials in each state!

In the last years, the population loss was serious, and many people were annexed by the powerful clans, and many people entered the mountains to work as rogues.

These calculations, as well as the rest of the miscellaneous taxes, are collected normally.

The officials who collected taxes naturally did not dare to collect them from those powerful people, so they transferred them to the rest of the people.

Originally, these calculations only need to be paid once a year, but now, if a place calculates the levy, if it is collected seven or eight times a year, this is not a behavior that requires five thunderbolts in the sky, but a kind of extremely beneficial behavior!

Because, the most common situation in the world is to collect twenty or thirty times a year, or even fifty or sixty times!

If a place can't collect twenty or thirty times of calculation, then it is embarrassing to say that it is the land of the Han Dynasty!

These exorbitant taxes have led to many disastrous consequences, one of which is the direct impact of the emergence of large-scale abandoned babies in various places.

So the abandoned baby is the superficial meaning, the abandoned baby.

In order to survive and not make the already poor family worse, they had to abandon their newborn child......

After learning about these situations, Liu Cheng's heart couldn't help but be full of emotion.

In later life, he also complained more than once that life was too stressful, life was not easy, and there were all kinds of troubles.

However, compared to the lives of ordinary people that I have seen now, the kind of life that I have complained about in the past is simply heaven!!

In their opinion, the ordinary people of this era could not have dreamed of white flour steamed buns, eggs, etc., and in their opinion, being able to eat once or twice a month is already a very heavenly thing, and in later generations, it has become the most ordinary existence.

There are also often people who dislike these things for not being delicious.

There are also many people, for the sake of their own health and their own figure, they don't eat meat, and eat some green vegetables with less oil and lack of salt......

Sure enough, happiness is all contrasting.

In the past, in the later generations, Liu Cheng felt that the life he lived was not as good as many people around him, but now compared with the people at the bottom of this era, he directly doesn't know how much higher than them!

It has completely become a life that they can't dream of, and it has also become a 'child of someone else' in the eyes of people in this era......

After some comparison, Liu Cheng's heart was full of emotion.

"Forty percent, just forty percent, no more! It is always necessary to give the people a way to live, and always let them accumulate some goods in their hands, so that they can cope with diseases and disasters......"

Liu Cheng sighed and said with emotion.

Hearing Liu Cheng say this, Zhao Yun and Xu Huang walked out almost at the same time, and saluted Liu Cheng very respectfully: "Uncle Huang has such a heart, it is really a blessing for the people, the people will definitely remember Uncle Huang's kindness, and they will not forget Uncle Huang's ......"

Seeing this, Hua Xiong, Li Jin, and Liao Hua followed up one after another.

Seeing this, although Li Su felt that the imperial uncle was too merciful and charged too low, he still followed everyone and bowed to Liu Cheng, and did not say anything more about this matter.

This is the end of the matter.

After Liu Cheng discussed some details with the generals here, he began to announce this matter to the people of these eleven tuns......
