Money and food are the foundation of a country.

And today's employment is actually "playing" with money and food.

The stakes are actually quite high.

Take Sili as an example, the number of tenants who have escaped from their masters in Sili Prefecture today has reached more than 200,000, of which 140,000 are unable to obtain arable land and cannot make a living.

This is just a state, the Great Wei River and Mountains are so vast, to the extremely strong Yan, Xu, Henan and other places of the family, how much can this consumption reach?

As for why the emperor insisted on separating the tenants from continuing to farm for the great clans?

This is because the tax at this time was not only land rent, but also poll tax, family property tax, as well as transfer, service and so on.

If only the amount of cultivated land is restricted, but not restricted from hiding their hukou, although it will have little impact on the rent, it will affect the rest of the people, and after they are hidden, they will not be able to become the labor force of the temple.

In the final analysis, this is still the feudal imperial power and the feudal gate lords snatching and exploiting materials.

The opinion of the tenant himself may not be so important to both parties.

Temples need to pay a great price to maintain the expenses of so many people and ensure that the construction of various places can take shape.

This would almost empty the treasury, create a significant fiscal deficit, and possibly require a temporary increase.

This is also a regular operation in the temple.

If the treasury is bankrupt, it can be shared by the people of the world, such as increasing gifts, stipulating that everyone must give some money and food to the treasury, or simply levying some miscellaneous taxes, or even levying next year's taxes in advance, and so on.

Anyway, there are many ways, but these methods are not good solutions.

Sooner or later, something will happen to the temple of the state treasury in this way, and the result will be worse than bankruptcy.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty invented many ways to save the almost bankrupt treasury.

This also led to a series of problems, but fortunately, the descendants of other people were angry and did not cause greater consequences.

At this moment, Du Yu was also a little worried.

Nowadays, the treasury of Great Wei is really not too full.

The previous crusade against Shu and Wu cost a lot, and every time an army was moved, it was burning the money and grain of the treasury.

The original destruction of Shu burned one billion dollars and five million stone grains of the Great Wei.

Then destroy Wu

If it weren't for the fact that Cao Chao had rectified the rule of officials in the past and distributed public land and done a lot of things, he was afraid that the treasury would have bottomed out when he crusaded against Wu.

Although it has not bottomed out now, it cannot be said that it is too abundant and barely maintained.

And this time the employment must be very cautious.

Lu Zhi opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, if it causes the treasury to be empty, and if you want to collect gifts and miscellaneous taxes, your Majesty's prestige will be damaged, and it may also cause evil consequences. ”

"Therefore, we must calculate that we cannot let the displaced people go hungry, nor can we let the treasury go wrong."

Their idea is to hold on until next year's taxes, and as soon as the taxes come up, they can continue to increase support and then survive until next year's taxes

As long as one step goes wrong and the calculation deviates, it will cause big trouble.

Du Zhu's arithmetic is extremely good, and Lu Zhi has been in charge of money and food for so many years, and his ability in this area is not too bad.

The two of them were busy with this matter in the house.

They summoned their elites to help, and at the same time gave orders to the states everywhere to get them moving.

Si Lizhou was supposed to be in charge of these things by Captain Si Li, but first, Jiuqing has become a false seal, and second, Captain Si Li has changed people, so Du Pre decided to do it himself.

Only by doing it yourself can we find out the problems and solve them better in the future.

First of all, it is the direction of construction.

After conducting an investigation, Du decided to start in Ji County, Sizhou.

The reason why it is here is because there are many people here, and there is very little arable land, obviously there are good water resources, and all aspects are suitable for farming, but the arable land is the least in the whole Sizhou, and it needs the support of the temple every year, and there is no great result every year.

There is a lot of wasteland suitable for reclamation.

Du pre-rode his horse and circled around the county.

The local officials were tired, for he was riding on a horse, and he did not dare to ride on a chariot, so he had to follow him on horseback.

This is really torture for a man in his sixties.

After conducting a careful investigation in various parts of Ji County, Du Zhen waved his hand and decided to build this place as the first step.

He summoned the local officials and the elites of the Ministry of Works, and after negotiations, they decided to open up 5,600 hectares of arable land here.

Sixteen new canals were opened around the county's plan to maintain many of the old canals.

Du gave an order, and these people naturally did not dare to object.

With the plan in place, officials from all over the prefecture began to gather the displaced people.

Because of what the temple has done over the years, the credibility of the temple is relatively strong among the people, and there has not been a large number of displaced people fleeing.

After distributing food and helping the strong men to calm their families, officials from all over the country led them to their destination.

The officials of Ji County can be said to have a numb scalp, this is the first place to engage in construction, and so many people are coming, the county guard has not dared to sleep for several days.

Du Yu has also stayed here to work.

The local people were the first to devote themselves to the construction, and a large number of food supplies were continuously sent here from all over the country.

The first project of these local people after gathering was not to cultivate land, but to build granaries and temporary housing, etc.

Since then, people from all over the world have come here, and more and more people have participated in the construction.

By a month later, more than 100,000 people had gathered here.

After the scale went up, the troubles began one after another.

In fact, the consumption was much more than Du expected.

Sure enough, the consumption after the real start is different from what is calculated on the paper.

Du Zhen also learned a lot of experience from this.

Sometimes, he would think of Zhong Hui's evaluation of himself, Zhong Hui always said that he lacked experience and did not experience enough official positions.

Maybe he didn't really want to put himself down, but really thought about himself?

Du decided to participate more in the specific implementation work and take on more responsibilities, which was also regarded as an exercise for himself to see if he could grow.

At this time, orders were also received in various places and began to start construction according to the edict of the temple

In the night, laughter could be heard from inside the house.

I saw several old men sitting in the house, watching the beauties dancing and drinking and having fun.

Xun Yi sat on the top seat, facing many dancing girls in front of him, but he didn't look at it a few times, his eyes were always on the many celebrities and important ministers on both sides.

"Xun Gong, the old man came from afar, knowing that you are incorruptible, and he didn't dare to give any gifts, only these dancing girls, you have a prestige, and there are many people who come to visit you.

"Please don't dislike them, just leave them, the old man's mansion has not had guests for many years, and it is useless to keep them."

At this moment, an old man suddenly spoke.

Xun Yi glanced at him, and then looked at the dancing girl in front of him, looking a little hesitant.

"Xun Gong, you can take it!"

Someone else helped.

Xun Yi nodded, "Thank you Cai Gong for your kindness." ”

When he said this, he accepted the gift.

At this moment, there were more than a dozen people sitting beside him, and these people seemed to be majestic and extraordinary.

The person who gave the beauty just now has a long beard and a dignified appearance, and this person is called Wei Lie.

The grandson of Weiz, the son of Wei Zhen.

The relationship between the Wei family and Cao Chao, there is no need to say much.

Because of the eldest father and father, Wei Lie is similar to Zhong Hui, it is the king who started the game, but unfortunately, this person has no ability, and he has the reputation of a child of a big clan, but he does not learn and has no skills.

During the Ming Emperor period, Cao Rong was very disgusted with these people and thought they were flashy, so he dismissed him, and until now, he has not been able to come out again.

In these years, he has gone a lot, he is not very old, and he still wants to be reused, he thought, it was the Sima family who was in power, and their pro-Cao faction could not be started again, but now that the Cao family is back in power, he should be able to be activated.

It's just that after looking forward to it for several years, the remnants of the Sima family have been reused one by one, but he has never gotten any opportunity for a "loyal martyr" like the Great Wei.

When he was in his hometown, he said that he had lost his official position because he had offended the Sima family.

He believes that Zhongliang, who was deposed for the sake of the Cao family, should be reused.

Even if Xun Yi is in Luoyang, he knows these things.

Because just half a year ago, this person also made a joke, it is said that Ruan Ji was forcibly left behind by him when he went home to visit relatives, telling that he was deposed because of the Sima family, and hoped that he could mention himself by His Majesty's side as a loose horseman.

Ruan Ji asked with disdain: "Does Sima Ziyuan know about this?" ”

Wei Lie suddenly didn't dare to speak.

Because this buddy was involved in the flashy case because of Sima Shi and others

Xun Yi opened his mouth at this moment and said: "Wei Jun, although the old man accepted your gift, but this matter of recommending talents is a matter of the ministry, and the old man can't do anything."

Hearing this, Wei Lie's face turned red, and then he said: "Xun Gong, we came here this time just because we look up to your virtue, and definitely not for the rest of the trivial matters. ”

The rest of the people also nodded, "That's the case, we brought Wei Jun here, please don't misunderstand Xun Gong." ”

Xun Yi looked at the old man sitting on his left.

This person is indeed old, and he can't say anything, Xun Yi is more respectful to him.

He is the leader of these people.

He is called Cai Mu, the Cai family of Yuxian County, and the hero of Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty is as fat as Hou Cai Yin.

Well, maybe no one knows about that, so let's talk about his brother.

His brother is called Cai Yong.

He has a niece named Cai Zhaoji
