"....." Liu Xie fell into silence again, he knew what Zhuge Liang meant, "After this natural disaster, there will definitely be man-made disasters. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, although this natural disaster is serious, although the court is already unable to govern and relieve it in the future, but this is the mandate of heaven after all, even if the people are suffering in their hearts, but they will not really vent all their resentment on the previous emperors and this court.

What really made Zhang Jiao set off that big chaos was because during that time, in addition to the frequent outbreaks of natural disasters, this man-made disaster also followed! ”

Liu Xie took a deep breath, and at this time, the drunkenness on his body had completely disappeared, and he stood up directly, changed to a more serious posture and sat down.

"Kong Ming... Go ahead! ”

"Your Majesty. . . But listen to it. Kong Ming looked at Liu Xie through the candle flame for a long time, and finally sighed directly before continuing.

"The first thing Liang wants to say today is also the most obvious thing in the world, why there are frequent rebellions in the world, just because the poor in the world are getting poorer and the rich are rich!

At that time, the great Sima Liu Yu was in charge of Youzhou, quiet and frugal, and turned the people into courtesy and righteousness, which led to the attachment of the people of Youzhou, and at the same time, it also led to the gradual improvement of the situation in Youzhou.

But after the first emperor ascended the throne, the Nangong disaster broke out directly, and Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, etc., who were among the ten permanent servants, persuaded the first emperor and asked the first emperor to order the collection of ten yuan of the world's land tax to repair the palace.

At the same time, it is necessary to requisition and send timber and aragonite from Taiyuan, Hedong, and Didao counties to Beijing.

At the same time, each state and county also needed to recruit conscription, and also conscripted money and food to be sent to the capital together.

Those who moved to make up for the state and county were all charged with the money for the palace, or 10 million, or 20 million, and they were vying to spend money to buy this position, but how could they spend money and food in vain?

The rich use their personal wealth to distinguish or give money to the people to prepare for it, while the poor and prudent do not have the ability to fill it, or even commit suicide.

Since then, Youzhou has completely collapsed, and it was not until Liu Yu entered Youzhou again that there were several years of recovery.

And in this Nangong disaster, there are countless eunuchs who ask for building materials from various states and counties on the one hand, and on the other hand, they ask for benefits, otherwise they will not accept it.

This directly led to this matter becoming the Nangong disaster!

What's more, they are forced to buy cheaply, and they are very hired, because the return of goods to the eunuchs, the resumption is not accepted, and the timber is rotten, and the palace has not been completed for many years...

And there are eunuchs above who act like this, and the states and counties below will not stop either.

The governors and county guards of various states and counties began to follow suit, and increased their personal tunes, causing the people to live in poverty, and they continued to wail and could not reach the heavens.

At the beginning, there were still words, and all the edicts of His Majesty solicited were ordered to make a secret agreement with Xiyuan Su, called "the middle envoy".

It even affected various states and counties, so that the officials of that state and county were bribed.

The officials of my Han Dynasty, whether it is 800 stone but slowly began to take over the government affairs of a state, or 2,000 stone who holds the military and political power of a county and Maocai filial piety and incorruptibility are all responsible for helping the army repair the palace money!

The large counties are twenty or thirty million, and they are always obtained from the hands of the people.

And among these other small counties, although there are differences, they are all miserable.

Those who are officials will first go to the West Garden for a good price, and then they have to go..."

"Hey!" Liu Xie was already having a headache at this time, and after this sum of accounts, Liu Xie really felt that he had a headache now.

Crazy headache, he even began to be a little envious... Some jealousy!

Because this group of guys can really be harmful, think about the fact that he is now in order to have some money and food, in order to be able to save some money and food, it is really not his life.

But...

"Hey... That's it... I really can't hear this, I heard that my dormitory leaked again some time ago.

If you go back in the future, you have to clean up again, hey! ”

In order to build a palace, people will harm the whole world, and he Liu Xie... The dormitory is leaking rain and wind, he doesn't dare to fix it, what kind of thing is this!

And these are not the point, the point is that there was still a side trouble at the beginning!

What is the border trouble, Liu Xie remembered that when he was just in charge of the court, he used to read various official documents of the big man, and he saw a note on "counting" money and grain.

Probably speaking, because there are too many places in contact with the outside of this Youzhou, a large number of soldiers and horses need to be arranged, and various dock forts need to be set up, military expenses and so on.

Annually.. It is necessary to draw taxes from the two states of Qingdao and Hebei every year, about a year... Two hundred million!

And it's not enough!

By the way, Liu Xie remembered that his cheap dad once had to mint bronze figures, but found that the treasury was insufficient, and then... Mobilize the people's fields, collect ten dollars per mu!

Add ten dollars per mu.. What he did was to force the people to give the fields in their hands to those wealthy families in exchange for their lives.

"Your Majesty thinks you know these things, but Your Majesty probably doesn't know that the consequences of doing so are not just the poverty of the people, but the eunuchs here... Too presumptuous.

They can't be lustful, and the rights on their bodies are all given by the royal family of the Han Dynasty, so... The only thing they can do is to go crazy and make money.

Thus indulge in luxury.

At the beginning, the four marquis turned horizontally, and there was even a rumor in the world, Zuo Huitian, Gu sat alone, Xu Crouching Hu, Tang Liangyuan!

These four marquis. No, it should be said that those eunuchs relied on the power in their hands to constantly collect money, and then competed for the first house, the building was magnificent, and the poor were extremely ingenious.

Not only that, but they know they don't have that... I don't have that ability, but I still want to look more like a normal person.

So they compete to marry wives and concubines, and even take more beloved women as concubines.

In order to prove something, they made these women all decorate luxuriantly, and they made them dress and even do things like the people of the palace.

Even their servants were to ride in ox carts.

Not only that, but they even raise their sparse disciples, and even beggars with different surnames, buy their heads as children, in short, they have to pass them on.

And then to pass on the country to attack the seal...

The brothers and sisters-in-law in their family are all in Zaizhou Linjun, and they have no benevolent ability to govern the people, and everything they do is to grab money as the first priority.

He did no different thing than a thief. ”

"Back then, it was just a little yellow door Duan Jue, his home was in the land of Jiyin, and he was actually a field with Nahou Lan, near the northern boundary of Ji, and the servants and guests violated the people and plundered the travel.

All the mistakes made have been erased by people, which can be described as extremely presumptuous. ”

After Liu Xie heard these words, he also understood what Zhuge Liang meant before.

In fact, he can understand this matter more than Zhuge Liang.

Let's put it simply, if Liu Xie's life here is about to go on, the next moment they will become more impoverished again because of force majeure, and there is no way to make money to support their families.

An official told herself that she was busy celebrating her girl's birthday, and she really couldn't take care of you.

After all, none of you have half a million yuan.

That's the kind of thing... He has the ability to make money, Liu Xie can be envious, although he is jealous, but he will not say much.

But you have the ability to make money, you can't just let the people below watch, just deliberately let them see how big the gap between yourself and them is.

If it is a group of people who have broken their backbones, they may just complain and complain in the end, but in this era, or in this nation, there has never been a person with a broken backbone.

Forbearance is never tacit consent.

Under such a show of wealth and extravagance, these people will also understand where their money comes from.

If one day, they find that they are just helpless and unable to persuade themselves, then what will happen next is really dangerous!

"The gap between the rich and the poor is too large, and the people can't live because of natural disasters, and if you add man-made disasters, it will be even more difficult.

Coupled with the fact that these people frequently do not know how to converge... This group of people is indeed unjustly dead! ”

After seeing that Liu Xie understood this, Zhuge Liang also continued directly.

"It's a pity that Emperor Xiaohuan was not able to avoid this kind of thing after he dealt with those eunuchs.

After them, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Sun Zhang, Bi Lan, Li Song, Duan Qi, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Kui, and Song Dian were all in the name of their confidants after Emperor Xiaoling ascended the throne.

And they almost copied what their predecessors did, and made their fathers, brothers, and sons of Bricant County, greedy and harmful...

After this internal trouble, there are frequent external worries, Xiqiang Dakou Sanfu, and Ma Xian, the general of the expedition to the west, will attack the soldiers of the counties, and they cannot be defeated.

In the end, it led to the cost of hanging the teacher and tens of billions of dollars, out of peace, and returned to the traitors.

Therefore, the people of the rivers and lakes are thieves, Qing and Xu are famine, and they are scattered.

Yu Qiangfu and burned He Dahao Kou Zhangye, captured Juluwu, killed the officials and people of the country, and recruited more than 1,000 people of the same kind to attack our Han military camp.

Fortunately, this time the opponent they chose was Duan Cheng, the head of Liangzhou Sanming, so there was no big trouble.

In the winter of the fourth year, Shen Di of Shangjun, Sister Longxi Prison, Wuwu and all kinds of Qiang Gongkou, Liang Erzhou!

Dian Na and other kinds of Qiang five or six thousand people, Kou Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan...

In six years, Kou became prosperous, and Liangzhou died...

Dongqiang first zero, since the defeat of the western general Ma Xian, the imperial court can not be discussed, so a number of Kou disturb the three auxiliaries, even if there is a Liao general Huangfu Gui, Zhonglang will Zhang Huan suppressed.

It is also a rebellion, and after the rebellion, it is such an endless toss.

Beidi first Lingqiang and Caohan, Heguan group thieves rebelled, and killed the Qiang captain Ling Zheng!

After the Jincheng people Bian Zhang and Han Sui rebelled, they killed Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng, and attacked and burned the prefecture and county..."

"And the counties on the edge of the three states of You, He, and Liang that the first emperor set up have not been copied by Xianbei Kou for many years, and the killings are innumerable..."

"Enough!" At this moment, Liu Xie finally couldn't listen to it anymore.
