Ji County, Ji County.

At night, Du Yu stood on a high place and looked into the distance.

In the distance, there were dense dwellings of makeshift dwellings, all of which were simple thatched huts or tents used in the army.

At intervals, a bonfire was set up to dimly illuminate the surroundings.

Du Yu was wearing a thick fur coat, and there were two officials standing behind him, but he was stunned for some reason at the moment.

"Du Gong, beware of the cold, let's go into the house."

A subordinate opened his mouth to remind.

Du Yu smiled.

He looked at the canal that ran through the plain in the distance, "This government of the people is quite effective here." ”

"In the entire place where the canal can be built, not a single one has been left behind, and the construction will start at the same time, I can't see that in three years, this place will be able to change a lot."

Judging from the situation in Sizhou alone, this new policy has achieved considerable results.

Du pre-planned a number of water conservancy and reclamation tasks here.

Almost all the displaced people in the Sili area have gathered here, and under the leadership of Du Pre, the construction work has been carried out exceptionally smoothly.

Of course, the pressure on the treasury is also increasing day by day.

Du was happy and worried in his heart.

He didn't know if the treasury would be able to hold out until next autumn.

With the start of construction in various places, this expenditure is getting bigger and bigger, and the scale of displaced people in various places is also increasing, and Du Zhen is now back to the original appearance, and he does not dare to easily approve those construction plans.

He needs to know what is going on in the treasury.

Lu Zhi was going to come from Luoyang to meet him.

Du Yu has been waiting for Lu Zhi for the past few days, and standing here today, he also wants to see Lu Zhi's carriage as soon as possible.

The current situation of the state treasury is very important to Du Zhu, which is an important basis for planning next year's project.

Despite repeated persuasion from the officials, Du Yu was reluctant to leave, just stood here and waited quietly.

The official said helplessly: "Duke Du, even if Duke Lu is coming, he won't rush at night, you go back to rest first, maybe he will be able to arrive tomorrow morning?" ”

"It's okay, you go back and rest first, I have a lot of things, even if I go in and lie down, I can't sleep, you go back first."

As Du was talking, a torch appeared in the distance.

The pedestrian quickly alarmed the armor and officials who were patrolling at night.

Du turned around and walked towards that side.

"But Lu Shangshu is here?"

As he spoke, his pace getting faster and faster.

Before he could arrive, a knight came to tell him.

"Du Gong! Shang Shu Lu Gong came to visit! ”

Du was overjoyed, and soon, he saw Lu Zhi in the dust.

Lu Zhi looked extremely tired, but his eyes were very bright, and when he saw Du Yu, he immediately laughed, and stepped forward to hold his hand.

"Yuan Kai!"

Seeing Lu Zhi's expression, Du Zhen was relieved.

Seeing that he is so happy, there is probably no major problem with the treasury?

At this time, Du Pre and Lu Zhi divided the labor to handle this matter, Du Pre was responsible for the "project", and Lu Zhi was responsible for the "fund".

Lu Zhi has always been in Luoyang, coordinating grain and grass, and this is the first time he has come to meet Du Pre.

"It seems that Shangshu has good news to tell me!"

Du Yu was also overjoyed, and hurriedly took Lu Zhi's hand and walked towards his camp, where he asked people to prepare hot tea.

After entering the tent, someone changed the candle, and there was a waiter to make tea, the tent was steaming, Du Yu sat facing Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi first took a sip of hot tea, and then said to the left and right: "You all go out." ”

Only the two of them were left in the tent.

Lu Zhi smiled and said, "I came this time to inform Yuan Kai that don't worry about the treasury!" You can do it! Whether you want to increase the number of people participating or build more water conservancy, you can approve it! Don't hesitate! ”

Du was stunned for a moment.

That's not what you said in the past.

What's going on? The treasury suddenly has money??

Looking at Du Pre with a puzzled face, Lu Zhi explained: "It is indeed as we said before, there is a big problem with the treasury, and it has almost bottomed out, and the remaining grain is almost not enough for the army!" ”

"And now?"

Lu Zhi raised his head and said with a smile: "No matter how poor the treasury is, it can't stand up to many good people in the world!" ”

"You probably know about the Yanzhou celebrity case."

"These are good people, who know that the treasury is poor, and they have come to donate their property."

Lu Zhi couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty ordered these people to be severely punished, and all the Yanzhou clans involved exceeded twenty, such a raid, the situation of the treasury is greatly improved!" ”

"These people are richer than those in Yongliang, and one person can top ten Biansai clans, I said why do they look down on the Biansai clans so much, I understand now."

"After these people were executed, the situation in Yanzhou improved, the state treasury also had money, and projects in various places were able to be carried out."

Du Yu knew about the Yanzhou celebrity case, not only because this matter was related to what he had done, but because this matter was too implicated, and it had already caused a stir in various places, and almost no one knew about it.

But he didn't expect that after punishing some big clans, he would be able to solve the crisis of the national treasury

Aren't these people too rich?

Although Du Yu was also from a big family, his eldest father and father were relatively honest and honest people, and he never went along with these people, which was why his father was exiled to death.

Therefore, Du Yu can't imagine what kind of family this is.

Lu Zhi sighed: "Your Majesty executed those who were the leaders, and the rest of the people were exiled, and all their family property was confiscated. ”

"These people were exiled to Jiaozhou, and at this moment, they probably went to Jingzhou."

Du Yu was silent.

His father died in exile.

In this era, exile is actually execution in disguise.

It sounds good to say that the Wu people moved north, but to bring the southerners to the northeast, is this to let them live and work in peace and contentment in the local area?

No, it's obviously meant to kill them.

The same is true for moving northerners to Nanzhongjiaozhou.

It would be nice if half of those who were exiled survived.

They probably know this themselves, but what's the use of knowing?

If you obey the edict, you will die half, and if you don't obey the edict, you will all die.

Lu Zhi said: "Almost all the big clans of Wu have moved to Youzhou, and their family property has also been confiscated, Chen Tai is going to transport grain and the like to Luoyang, and His Majesty has issued an order to let him use it for the employment of Wu Land." ”

"In the future, you don't have to worry about the food and money expenses on the Wu side."

"With today's national treasury, it is very easy to hold on until next year, and with the current situation, I really don't know how many times the tax will rise next year."

When Lu Zhi said this, his eyes were both happy and a little lost.

I am happy that the treasury is finally no short of money and can live lavishly.

What is frustrating is that he Lu Zhi has been diligent and diligent over the years, has done so many things, and established so many policies, but he is still not as effective as copying his home a few times.

In this land appreciation order, the big clans in various places spit out a lot of cultivated land, and the taxes on these cultivated lands alone do not know how many times the income of the Great Wei can be doubled.

Moreover, they also spit out the private population, which adds up to Lu Zhi's income next year will be an unprecedentedly large number!

Du Yu only felt a boulder in his heart fall at this moment.

It was as if even breathing had become much easier.

He smiled and said: "This is easy to do, I can't hide it, these days, I have been thinking about this all day long, watching the canal get closer and closer, my heart is more and more uneasy."

Lu Zhi suddenly asked at this moment: "Yuan Kai, do you think Your Majesty will spare these big clans in the north?" ”

Du Yu, who was still pouring out the bitterness in his heart, came to an abrupt end.

The two were silent for a moment, and Du Yu asked rhetorically, "Are you worried that Your Majesty will forgive?" Or are you worried that Your Majesty will not forgive? ”

Lu Zhi glanced at him, "Yuan Kai is just too cautious, can't he tell me the truth?" ”

Du Yu smiled bitterly, and then replied: "I think Your Majesty will definitely let the Central Plains clan also migrate." ”

"However, it still depends on the people among them, the prince is still serving as Shang Shuling, so it is impossible for the Wang family to be relocated to other places."

"I don't think so."

Lu Zhi suddenly said: "Your Majesty loves Lu Kang very much, and Lu Kai also serves in the country, but when you migrated this time, Your Majesty only left Lu Kang and Lu Kai's family, and the rest of the relatives were among the exiles. ”

"Then Lu Kai didn't dare to question His Majesty because of this matter."

"I think that if there is evidence of guilt, Your Majesty will follow the same method of Lu Kang."

Du Yu smiled and said, "Is Gong Lu thinking about his clan?" ”

"Don't worry, the defeat of the Wu State, the Wu family are all guilty people, so Your Majesty can directly order the exile, and the soldiers will do their best to carry it out, and the Wu people will not dare to object."

"But in the north, in the face of the big clan that has followed him for a long time, His Majesty will not do what he did to the Wu people, as long as he can control his clan well, don't do anything that makes His Majesty unhappy, and there is no crime, then he will not be treated like the Wu people."

Lu Zhi took a sip of tea, "I'm not worried about my clan, I'm worried that because of this incident, the ministers will be frightened and worried, and they don't dare to assist Your Majesty with all their might." ”

"You don't have to worry about your majesty's order to reward the fields, they will only work harder to assist your majesty in the past, and those famous people can also rely on the officials of their own clansmen to hang the cultivated land under the names of the clansmen, do not pay taxes, use people to farm, do not assist temples, live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and call themselves gentlemen."

"After the order to appreciate the fields, these celebrities have no official titles, so they have to pay taxes as usual, and with their usual luxury, they have only one way out, assisting Your Majesty."

"As for the ministers, even more so, if they want to protect themselves and their clan, they must establish enough merits, and they will definitely not dare not contribute to it."
