"Han Ji Zhaowu Emperor Ji": In the nineteenth year of Jian'an, Zhongzu edict: "Yi, Liang, Yang, Jing, Xu, Jiao Liuzhou, collect land rent eight liters per mu, three horses of silk from households, three catties of cotton, and the households are rich and poor, and other taxes are not allowed to be issued without authorization." ”

The freshly baked household concoction of the Southern Han Dynasty was not thought of by Zhuge Liang alone, but also by Huo Jun, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng and others.

'Collect eight liters of land and rent per mu, and the household will produce three horses of silk and three catties of cotton. It is only a part of the content of the Southern Han household, not all the people pay taxes in this way, but when they reach a certain level of assets, or when the number of people in the household reaches a certain standard, they need to pay in this way.

At Huo Jun's suggestion, they were divided into nine classes of rich and poor, and the upper households paid five horses of silk and five catties of cotton; The next household pays a horse of silk and a horse of cotton...... In addition, the elderly in remote areas who are lonely and widowed also have different tax system treatment. Under this arrangement, we have tried our best to make up for the poor by taking the rich and making the poor pay less taxes.

As for the 'yong' in the regulation of rent-yong, there are frequent wars nowadays, so naturally there is no need to implement 'yong'.

Generally speaking, each era has the particularity of each era, and the rent modulation formulated by Zhuge Liang and everyone is already more in line with the version of the Southern Han Dynasty.

Of course, this is not a permanent version, for example, Zhuge Liang abolished the chariot and horse tax in the fine rules, which is to help the prosperity of commerce in the southern states. When commerce prospered, the carriage tax was reintroduced and the tax was increased.

Under the detailed rules for the regulation of households, Liu Bei quickly passed it, and asked Wang Cang to draft an edict and promulgate it to the counties and counties of Liuzhou.

The finalization of the tax law does not mean that the policies proposed by Zhuge Liang are all agreed, and the adoption of state-run Shu brocade will inevitably attract the opposition of the Shu people.

Shang Shufu shot Zhang Song, got up and went out of the ranks, and said: "Your Royal Highness, the words of the military advisor, Song dare not be arrogant, the salt and iron of the former Han official camp, and the iron tools they drum and cast, are mostly inferior things, and it is difficult for the people to use them. ”

"Like a sickle cast, the blade is blunt, cutting grass is not painful, and the people are hard to cultivate, and they are suffering for it. Or the official salt, mixed with sediment, the people buy the salt with a lot of money, and the officials and businessmen collude, and it is miserable. ”

"Today, in terms of military spending, salt and iron can barely be used as an official camp to replenish military funds. However, Shu brocade is not, it is not necessary for salt and iron, if the officials cheat, cover up and cover, resulting in Shu brocade is inferior, the quality is ugly, and the dignitaries and dignitaries will buy it? ”

"Under the rule of Cao Cao, Chen Liuxiangyi has been weaving famous works in the Central Plains since the Qin and Han dynasties. The military adviser vainly tried to run the official Shu brocade, and used the Shu brocade to circulate in all directions to obtain money and capital, so as to fill the army. I am afraid that such a move will be difficult to achieve, and it will waste money and capital, and hurt the hearts of the people. ”

Saying that, Zhang Song secretly sneered in his heart, and arched his hand and said: "If the lord loves the wealth of Shu brocade, he can collect the tax on the sale of Shu brocade for national use." Under the official camp, the pine fear encourages the trend of privately buying Xiangyi weaving literature. ”

"This~"

Liu Bei showed hesitation, and what Zhang Song said was not difficult to understand.

Chengdu is not the only one in the world to produce Shu brocade, and there is a world-famous Xiangyi weaving in the Chenliu area of the Central Plains. Even the brocade technology in the Bashu region came from the Central Plains, and it was only in the Eastern Han Dynasty that Shu brocade began to gradually emerge in the market.

If the nationalization of Shu brocade is adopted, the quality of Shu brocade declines, and no one buys it, unless the country is closed and the brocade silk of the Central Plains is prohibited from flowing into the south, Shu brocade can occupy the market in the south and extract the taxes of the scholars and the strong.

Otherwise, Shu Jin would not be able to squeeze Haoqiang's assets at all. Even because of the poor quality of Shu brocade, people will smuggle the weaving text of the Central Plains. After all, Shu brocade is not oil, without Shu brocade, the scholars and heroes will not be able to survive.

Zhuge Liang stroked his fan and smiled, and said: "How can Yongnian make Shu Jin's appearance inferior? The government and private are all run by people, among which the inferior and exquisite Shu brocade lies in whether the people who operate are resourceful and dedicated. ”

"Or use the country as a businessman, and the prime minister runs the government, just like Xiao He supplies the military, so that the military funds are not lacking. is also like Tian Fen, who fills his own pockets, and is not good for himself. Therefore, the foundation of business lies in people, not officials and privates. ”

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang looked at everyone and said with a smile: "As for the private profits, the official camp only has a fortune, why can't you take the profits of the official camp to reward the people who run it?" ”

These words came out, but Huo Jun was quite surprised.

Zhuge Liang's words have the flavor of later generations of state-owned enterprises looking for professional managers, and state-owned enterprises have indeed led to institutional rigidity, serious bureaucracy, and a decline in product quality.

But are state-owned enterprises not hopeless?

Through the reform of the system, the introduction of suitable managers, rejuvenated, and even listed profiteers, such as the coastal ports of later generations.

Zhang Song was a little flustered, but still retorted: "If those officials are corrupt and corrupt money, how should they be treated?" And the military advisor dares to assert that such a person can be found? ”

"Huo Du, the Zhang family of Shu County mostly profits from Shu brocade, according to the locals, the production and sale of brocade silk in Shu, the Zhang family can account for one-fifth, extremely rich."

Huang Zhong said secretly: "Since Zhang Song entered Wuhan, he has sent Shu brocade and high-ranking officials and dignitaries. ”

"Sure enough!" Huo Jun sneered contemptuously.

With Zhang Song's unprofitable character, Huo Jun had already guessed that Zhang Song must have a close relationship with Shu Jin, otherwise he would not have objected to Zhuge Liang's suggestion so much.

Coughing lightly, Huo Jun said: "Your Highness, with Jun Guanzhi, it is not impossible for the military division to camp Shu Jin. The Central Plains experienced many mournings, the people were displaced, and the merchants withered. Today, Bashu is less war-torn than war, if the official camp Shu brocade, select brocade noodles, batch weaving, or can make a profit! ”

"Huo Du's words, well versed in the study of business!"

Zhuge Liang held the fan and arched his hand, and said: "The Central Plains is in ruins, and Xiangyi weaves texts, most of which are woven by households and clans, and few merchants produce it. If there is a proper law, Shu brocade can be popular in the Central Plains. ”

"Kong Ming has a way?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

Zhuge Liang smiled confidently and said: "If you have a little gain, the official camp Shu Jin may be able to benefit the country!" ”

"King!" Zhang Song shouted.

Liu Bei raised his hand to stop Zhang Song from speaking, and said, "Since Kong Ming dares to speak like this, how can he not be alone." Shujin Textile is operated by officials and is controlled by Kong Ming. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said.

Seeing Liu Bei's arrangement, Zhang Song was angry and annoyed.

He originally wanted to achieve the goal of reaching a higher level by changing owners. Now the official is promoted, but the family's assets are gone.

Zhuge Liang proposed to verify the household registration and the number of acres in Bashu, although Zhang Song was dissatisfied in his heart, he also pinched his nose and agreed. But now that the nationalization of Shu Jin has directly cut off Zhang Song's lifeline, can Zhang Song not be annoyed?

welcomed Liu Bei into Shu, and never wanted to welcome a tiger and wolf into Shu.

After chatting for a while, we arranged all kinds of things. Before the meeting, Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "There is a shortage of grain and grass in the country today, so we should give priority to accumulating grain and grain. This year, alcohol is forbidden in the country, and it is forbidden to brew alcohol from grains and grains, regardless of dignity or inferiority, and offenders should be punished as felonies. ”

"Remember the king's order!" The crowd answered.

Liu Bei got up from the couch and said, "Zhong Miao and come with Lonely!" ”

"No!"

Everyone got up and retreated, and Huo Jun followed behind Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang greeted Ma Liang and said: "Ji Chang, the method of rice and wheat rotation has been issued a few years ago, but due to the delay of the war, the implementation has been slow. The progress of this matter will be checked by the quarterly regular to see if this matter that benefits the country and the people can be implemented among the people. ”

"No!" Ma Liang responded.

"Changxu, Yuan sigh, the detailed rules of salt and iron are ...... today" Zhuge Liang was beckoning Gu Yong and Sun Shao to discuss the content of the official salt and iron.

When Zhuge Liang was busy with political affairs, Huo Jun's work had just begun.

In the side hall, Liu Bei invited Huo Jun to take a seat, and the monarch and the minister were alone.

Liu Bei asked the maid to serve tea, and said with a smile: "Zhong Miao not only has the knowledge of military strategy, but also the ability of everyone. The article on the military system of the two Han Dynasty is exquisite. Now Zhong Miao thinks deeply, can there be a new system of teaching orphans? ”

Huo Jun's writing of the military book was gradually known by the upper echelons of the Southern Han Dynasty. Liu Bei also browsed the completed manuscript and was amazed by its contents, which was one of the reasons why Liu Bei entrusted Huo Jun to participate in the reform of the Chinese army.

Huo Jun pondered for a while and said: "His Royal Highness is in charge of Wu Chu, and he suddenly rose up, in order to win the hearts of the people, he collected the generals' soldiers for his own use, and took the powerful soldiers for his own use. Entering Bashu, thanks to the Yuan Cong and the surrender of soldiers and horses, but to look at it, this is not a long-term method. In order to correct this wind, Jun thought that the policy of strong and weak branches should be implemented. ”

"Please teach Gu Zhongmiao!" Liu Bei asked.

Huo Jun sorted out his thoughts and said: "Since the former Han Dynasty, the law of the northern and southern armies has been practiced, and the heavy and light are controlled to be above the Sifang Prefectures and counties. After Shizu, the capital was trial-produced, with the five battalions in the border areas and the central army in the north and south as the mainstay. His Royal Highness can follow this law and set up a forbidden army in the north and south, with 20,000 soldiers each. ”

"The Northern Army, based on His Royal Highness Yuancong, selected the elite of the old army to fill in, and guarded the center of Wuhan; The Southern Army sent warriors under the accounts of the generals of the six southern states into the Southern Army to weaken the strength of the generals and to both sides of the Zhenjiang River. ”

"With 5,000 men as a battalion, the northern and southern armies each have four battalions, divided into eight battalions, and are commanded by the miscellaneous generals. For example, the name of the camp can be Shence, Tiger Step, Crane Control, etc. The forbidden army is divided into three cao and three prisons, leading the army in battle, training sergeants, carrying food and grass, armouring, issuing military orders, military councils, and protecting all armies. ”

"All the above eight battalions have to be issued by His Royal Highness, and the three supervisors will be sent out. When sitting in the center, the three Cao are responsible for commissioning the generals to train the military. ”

"The 40,000 soldiers, all of whom are selected warriors from all over the world, have to be equipped with armor and carefully drilled, which is enough to deter the six southern states. When the forbidden army is completed and deters the Quartet, the generals and soldiers can be discussed again. ”

Liu Bei took Wu Chu, many tricks, rushed to the position, and adopted a tacit reservation attitude towards the soldiers and horses of the southern generals. Liu Bei relied on Huo Jun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Xun and other cronies to resist Cao Cao's soldiers and horses.

This phenomenon will inevitably not be sustained for a long time, so only by first strengthening the muscles and bones, enriching the Chinese army, and deterring the localities can we discuss the issue of local generals. Moreover, in the current confrontation between the north and the south, it is necessary not only to prohibit the army from sitting in the center, but also to reduce the local army, otherwise the local emptiness will be dangerous.

"Color!"

Liu Bei thought for a long time, couldn't help applauding, and said with a smile: "Mobilize the elite generals to enrich the forbidden army." Zhong Miao's strategy of strengthening the weak branches is very exquisite. ”

This trick of boiling frogs in warm water has to be traced back to the Later Zhou and Northern Song Dynasty. The town of the Later Zhou Dynasty still exists, and the strength of the local generals is still not small. In order to form an elite forbidden army, Chai Rong recruited strong men from all over the world, selected sharp soldiers to join the forbidden army, and was able to form the famous Northern Zhou forbidden army.

Liu Bei took advantage of the prestige of Pingbashu and the style of opening the country to recruit the elites of the six southern states. Regarding Yu, Huo Jun, and Zhang Fei's leadership, the generals will not give Liu Bei face, and they dare not give it, after all, it is not to deprive the military of power.

After a little silence, Liu Bei asked: "To form the second army in the north and south, there must be a selection of commanders, I don't know if Zhong Miao can have a candidate?" ”

"Don't dare!"

Huo Jun lowered his head and said: "Jun has violated military law by participating in the Chinese military with foreign troops, and I am afraid that I will be suspected of violating the rules if I recommend the generals again." ”

"Hey!"

Liu Bei's face was displeased, and he said: "Zhong Miao's heart, how can Lone not know that An will be suspicious?" But it doesn't hurt to say it, it's not strange to be lonely! ”

With Liu Bei's permission, Huo Jun pondered and said: "General Zilong, loyal and fair, has served as the protector of the army, and can make him select the forbidden army in the north and south. ”

"General Huang Lao has outstanding courage and outstanding meritorious service, and can lead him to the responsibility of forming the Southern Army; General Shu Zhi has been on the battlefield for a long time, and the main Bai Yu soldier is a confidant of His Royal Highness, so he can let Shu Zhi take charge of the affairs of the Northern Army. ”

"In this way, General Zilong is the main body, and the two generals are supplemented to build the central forbidden army. Three Cao and three eunuchs, military attachés and civil servants, His Royal Highness can think more about candidates, and it is inconvenient for the ministers to say more. ”

Liu Bei stroked his beard and said, "General Huang, the general after the official appointment, let him form the Southern Army today, is it suspected of being of little use?" ”

Huang Zhong had no children under his knees, so he asked him to form the Southern Forbidden Army, which made Liu Bei quite trusted. However, considering Huang Zhong's status and official position, Director Zhao Yun, who assisted General Zhengdong, seemed to be a little unreasonable.

"General Zilong is the Central Protector Army, why not entrust General Huang Lao to be the Central Army and assist the Protector Army in charge of the Southern Army." Huo Jun suggested.

"You can learn from Zhong Miao's words!"
