Chapter Forty-Nine: Three Million Stones

Luoyang, in the palace, Liu Che's bedroom, was full of broken items, Liu Che's face was full of anger, and the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids lowered their heads and did not dare to come out.

Liu Che roared exhaustedly: "Tang Tian, what are you doing here? Is he going to rebel? I gave him so much honor, so much power, and he repaid me like this? I put all my hopes in him, and that's what he did? ”

Tang Tian privately accepted refugees and displaced people, pursued private land ownership, and he could accept tax reductions and exemptions without permission, and he turned a blind eye to it, and it passed, but now Tang Tian openly accepted refugees and displaced people, and issued an announcement to the thirteen states, this is no longer a blind eye can pass, this is a blatant provocation to the imperial court, Liu Che can no longer suppress the civil and military condemnation of Tang Tian in the Manchu Dynasty, although some officials support Tang Tian, but it is only a small number of people, and most of those people are good friends with Tang Tian, This gave Liu Che a headache.

Zhang asked the old eunuch to say: "Your Majesty, empathy, isn't Tang Tian doing this for the sake of the people of the world?" Since Tang Tian has a way to solve the problem of eating so many people, then the money and grain in the treasury do not need to be used, and Tang Tian's tax revenue in Liaodong this year is as high as one million stones, which is more than five times that of previous years, with him, we can alleviate a lot of things, and he can't put an end to it, and if someone joins the Yellow Turban Army, it also plays a role in stabilizing the people, Your Majesty must not be fooled by those pedantic Confucian officials. ”

Liu Che heard Zhang Rang say this, it seemed to be such a reason, what he said was the truth, Liu Che was in a good mood suddenly, in fact, he only thought about whether he could live well, so he was too lazy to do things in the official world, but the condemnation of the civil and military officials was the existence that gave him a headache, and today he was disturbed by the hundred officials, and he thought that Tang Tian was provoking the majesty of the imperial court.

Zhang Rang wiped the sweat from his forehead, this morning Tang Tian sent someone to send him a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, silk and satin, just to let him say more good things in front of Liu Che, after all, the hands of people are short, and the mouths of people are soft.

The next morning, the civil and military officials began to denounce Tang Tian again.

"The minister thinks that Tang Tian's move is detrimental to the majesty of the imperial court, and once he settles in his heart, he has gone to so many people in a small Liaodong, and his prestige among the people will be raised to a terrible level, if he wants to rebel, he can quickly organize hundreds of thousands of troops, and Tang Tian is the first to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, and the ability to lead the troops to fight should not be underestimated, who will resist him at that time?" Dr. Guanglu stood up and said.

Doctor Taizhong, Doctor Zhongsan, and Doctor Counselor stood up: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Liu Che glanced at these people: "Where is Dasi Nong?" ”

Da Si Nong stood up, with a look of obscenity, why did you ask me to come out? Isn't this talking about Tang Tian? What does it have to do with me? "The minister is here."

The civil and military officials are also coerced, is this related to Dasi Nong? Dasi Nong is in charge of the country's taxes and money, and is the chief official of the Ministry of Finance of the central government of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che said: "How has Liaodong paid taxes in the past few years? ”

Dasi Nong was stunned again, is this related to taxes? Baiguan is also such a question, is this related to taxes?

Dasi Nong said honestly: "The annual taxes from the first year of Guanghe to the seventh year of Guanghe in Liaodong County were 180,000 stones, 200,000 stones, 230,000 stones, 220,000 stones, 210,000 stones, and 220,000 stones. ”

As soon as these words came out, the court shook, "How can there be so many?" A Liaodong county is worth the tax of a Youzhou. ”

"Yes, where did this Tang Tian get so much grain from?"

......

Liu Che said: "You all said that a Liaodong is worth a Youzhou, so I want to ask if Tang Tian is withdrawn, who can guarantee that there will be a million stone taxes every year?" And this is still a tax after Tang Tian lowered the tax rate, if it is according to the original tax, at least two million stones, then who can guarantee it? Yuzhou is the main grain producing area of the Han Dynasty, and the annual tax is only three million stones, and a Liaodong is about to catch up with Yuzhou, who will remove him to ensure that the remaining 800,000 stone grain is not a lot? ”

Liu Che paused: "There is another question, Tang Tiandu can call on the people of the world to go to Liaodong and give rice and oil, so why don't other counties do this?" Why don't you do that? If you can also solve the problem of feeding more than 10 million people, then I will immediately recall Tang Tian and put him in prison. Can you? ”

Can you? It's a good ironic question, I can't do it myself, but I have to blame the person who can do it, and I also spread rumors that he wants to rebel? The civil and military officials looked at each other, how to answer this? If you let them spray others, it's a matter of minutes, but if you really want them to solve it, then they will start to talk about it, but Tang Tian only did what they didn't want to do, you don't do it out of your pocket, then I'll come, but you don't do it, but you want to spray me instead, it's too much.

At this time, a small official walked in: "Your Majesty, Liaodong sent someone to say that there is a problem with taxes." ”

Everyone turned their attention to the little official, and most of them hoped that Tang Tian had miscalculated, and more luck came, so there was an article to do, Liu Che frowned: "Say." ”

The little official didn't notice that the air flow in the court was a little wrong, and continued: "After verification, the Liaodong Taishou found that this year's tax should be three million stones, not one million stones, and the remaining two million stones are already on the way to be transported. ”

Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything to say?" If it's okay, just retreat. ”

Everyone had no choice but to leave.

Liu Che returned to the dormitory and laughed loudly: "What a Tang Tian, I am very pleased, hahaha." ”

The original problem was solved and there were two million more stone grains, could he not be happy?

Liaodong Tang Tian broke away from Mu Lan's soft body and patted her buttocks: "Little goblin, I almost scrapped it last night." ”

Now Mu Lan's technology is getting better and better, basically Mu Lan disarmed and surrendered before, but with the passage of time, now it is Tang Tian who wants to disarm.

Mu Lan opened her eyes: "Is the husband still here?" ”

Tang Tian was stunned, and quickly shook his head and put on his clothes and fled here, he was afraid that he really couldn't help but come again, then he didn't have to get up today, he didn't have to worry about the affairs of the whole county, seeing Tang Tian leave, Mu Lan smiled, and then touched his flat lower abdomen, his eyebrows were full of questions, it had been more than half a year, why hadn't he reacted yet?
