Chapter 57: Twenty-three years of Jian'an
Liu Bei Guan Yu looked at it with murderous eyes.
Liu Bei: Can you not mention the Battle of Yiling?
Guan Yu: If I don't die, how can I come to the battle of Yiling?
Zhang Fei shrank his head, still unconvinced, and whispered to Lai Lai: "It's not wrong, the eldest brother is not easy to get along with, so Cao Cao was not also attacked by Lu Bu?" ”
The four laughed for a while, and there was nothing to say about Sun Hou's record.
No matter how outrageous it is, can it be outrageous?
"Not giving back" at least shows that it is quite rare to bring back the whole army with all the beards and tails.
[The second master belonged to Cao Cao while repairing the city, and then waited for another key factor: the rebellion under Cao Cao's rule.
The rebellion under Cao Cao is an old problem, incomplete statistics:
Between 200 and 220, there were 51 armed rebellions under Cao Wei, 11 in the core region, 17 in the eastern region, and 23 in the western region. 】
"That Wei Rebellion should be among them?" Liu Bei was deeply impressed by this kind of person who almost stabbed Cao Cao's hometown.
The key is that this person also played the banner of the Han family, and his favorability increased by one.
[This brings up an old problem, that is, Cao Wei's tax system.
It is a common modern saying that the tax system of the Tang Dynasty was inherited from the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the taxation of the Wei and Jin dynasties began with Cao Cao's reforms.
Therefore, it is concluded that Cao Wei's tax system is not only more advanced, but also more humane, and it is too bad for the Qin and Han dynasties to directly collect five or six percent of the tax!
It all depends on the tax law reformer Boss Cao, who laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty! 】
The Tang Dynasty all refer to Cao Cao's tax system? So powerful?
Kong Ming admired him, since he came to Liu Bei to focus on taxation, of course he knew how difficult and complicated this was.
A prosperous person can actually learn Cao Cao's tax law, then he should listen carefully!
Liu Bei was not convinced: "Thirty taxes and one ...... Where did the five or sixty percent of the tax come from! ”
Zhang Fei hey, the three brothers started with yellow scarves: "If you can really pay thirty taxes and one, how can the yellow scarves sweep the world." ”
Liu Bei was silent, the Han family was declining and the people were not bored, how could they not make a living? oppressed by exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
[But this statement is in conflict with the rebellion that never stopped under Cao Cao.]
If Cao Cao really has no worries about food and clothing, then why should the people rebel when they have nothing to do? Could it be that so many people have Han in their hearts?
First of all, the Qin and Han dynasties collected fifty percent of the tax in Ban Gu's "Book of Han", Wang Mang's edict and Xun Yue's edict, and the "Zizhi Tongjian" made a comprehensive narrative:
And the wealthy people invaded the mausoleum, divided the fields and robbed the fake. Thirty taxes are one, and five taxes are real.
That is to say, the official tax is still divided into 30 taxes and 1 of the land rent system, but if you count the exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes, it is 5 out of 10 taxes. 】
Liu Bei's head hung lower, shame! and to the Hereafter and to the Hereafter!
The wealthy people invaded the mausoleum, divided the fields and robbed the fakes, isn't this the biggest problem in the Han Dynasty?
Kong Ming also nodded in agreement, harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are the source of the people's suffering, and once the thirty tax becomes thirty taxes fifteen or even thirty taxes and twenty, how can the people live?
[Cao Cao changed to a fixed land rent system of four liters per mu, and the yield per mu at the end of the Han Dynasty was only about a quarter of what we are now, that is, about two hundred and eighty catties.
Four liters are about 16 catties, that is, about eighteen taxes one, and from this point of view alone, it is simply the reincarnation of a living Buddha. 】
Mi Fang noticed that the atmosphere in the hall had changed.
Everyone opened their mouths wide, as if they had seen the light curtain for the first time when they came in.
The eldest brother next to him also looks like he can't give up.
"Impossible!" Guan Yu jumped up: "How can the future generations quadruple the yield per mu!" ”
"Twelve stones per mu!" Kong Ming was also incredulous: "Could it be that this junior is mistaken?" ”
"Or is this the power of technology again?!"
"Kong Ming!" Liu Bei has also farmed, and his brain is spinning fast at the moment:
"Since you can make Zuo Bo paper by relying on Cai Hou paper, can you also produce more than ten stones per mu by relying on that "Heavenly Creations"?"
Kong Ming opened his mouth, but finally closed his mouth and shook his head, Lord You think too much.
According to Kong Ming's own estimates, this year's rice yield in Jingzhou is already very good.
[But in fact, this tax system can only be enjoyed by the landlords of the family.]
Cao Cao, an ordinary person, sacrificed the law of Tuntian, according to the Feng Yu book recorded in the Book of Jin:
If the household cultivates the land with official cattle, it will be taxed for six out of ten; Those who use private cattle are taxed five out of ten. 】
"Kong Ming, how much are we paying ten taxes now?" Liu Bei asked.
Shaking the feather fan, Kong Ming said in a deep voice: "All the taxes in total, about three out of ten taxes to four out of ten taxes." ”
Liu Bei nodded, now the thirty taxes in troubled times are an extravagant hope, but at least it is much better than Cao Cao's heart.
[Where did the people of Tuntian come from? Forced conscription.
The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms has always recorded that Cao Cao constantly requisitioned people from other places to the vicinity of Yecheng in Xuchang.
For example, in 205, after the pacification of Jizhou, the people of Jizhou were forcibly relocated, and in 209, the forced relocation of Huainan caused 100,000 people to flee to Jiangdong.
And how to deal with the people who do not agree to be requisitioned to go to Tuntian or flee?
He Kui's biography records that "those who do not follow the religion have to be punished". 】
Liu Bei shook his head, he understands Cao Cao's ruthlessness, and the people also understand.
Hearing that Cao Bing was coming, he heard that the evil ghost was coming, and dragged his family to run with him Liu Bei.
It was because he couldn't run fast across the river with his people, and he was caught up by Cao Cao, which led to the defeat of Changbanpo and the death of Mrs. Mi.
But if there is no regret, Liu Bei only regrets that he does not have many soldiers in his hands at this time, and he can't defeat Cao Thief head-on.
[But it is undeniable that Cao Cao's tax reform is a kind of institutional progress, of course, it is still far from the household responsibility system after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The Tang Dynasty did refer to this system and pushed the Tang Dynasty to a prosperous era known to the world.
But who would have thought that Cao Cao's initial reforms were just to make peace with the family?
Even because the big families paid less taxes, the people of Tuntian were even more oppressed. 】
For a while, everyone had their own thoughts, Liu Bei and Kong Ming exchanged a look, and everything was silent.
Kong Ming saw a new word again, and firmly remembered it in his heart, I don't know if this system of founding the country in later generations is the key to their yield of twelve stones per mu?
It's just a pity that I can't guess too much from the name.
Liu Bei thought a little more far-reaching in his heart, the family and the big family have always been a chronic disease that is difficult to solve, and I don't know how the future generations will solve it?
[In addition to paying taxes, the people will also be subject to forced labor, and if they dare not obey or escape, the end will of course be death.
Under such circumstances, the grievances of the oppressed people became more and more boiling, and in 219 the whole world was gradually pushed to a situation of imminent eruption.
In the first month of the twenty-third year of Jian'an, the Han Imperial Physician ordered Yoshimoto and Shaofu Geng Ji, Si Zhi Wei Huang and others to counterattack, attack Xu, and burn the prime minister's long history Wang Biying.
In the twenty-third year of Jian'an, Lu Hun Chang Zhang Gu was transferred to Dingfu by the book and given to Hanzhong. The people are wicked and troubled. Minsun Wolf and others killed the county lord because of the rebellion.
In the winter of the twenty-third year of Jian'an, in the winter of October, Wan Shou will Hou Yin and other antis, and he will be the Taishou of Nanyang, robbing the people and protecting Wan. 】
