Zhonghui has been very busy these two days.

Ever since Cao Chao told him about the poll tax, Zhong Hui couldn't sit still.

Zhong Hui's greatest ambition is to assist the Holy King and open up a prosperous era.

Zhong Hui thought that he had worked hard enough, and the emperor could not be said to be unwise, and various policies were quite appropriate.

But even so, if you want to create a real prosperity that is comparable to or even surpasses the peak of the two Han Dynasty, it will take at least fifty years.

Zhong Hui felt that he might not even live to that time.

And the reason why it takes so long is because of the problem of "hard power", that is, the most important part of the prosperous era, population.

Underpopulated, everything is in vain.

Just as Biqiu Jian was able to conquer the entire Goguryeo, it was also suitable for farming, but what was the use of this?

Nowadays, even the Central Plains is in a sparsely populated state, except for the metropolis of Luoyang, the population of the rest of the prefectures and counties is very short, where does the temple still have the strength to occupy Goguryeo?

No matter what you do, you need people, and although too many people can cause burden and pressure on the temple, Zhong Hui believes that he can complete a virtuous circle.

The easiest way to increase the population is to abolish the poll tax.

Without the poll tax, the people, who hardly have any entertainment activities, can only continue to make babies.

In history, Sima Yan had a headache for the population, and in order to increase the population, the temple even ordered that a seventeen-year-old woman must marry!

If you don't marry on your own, then the temple will arrange the marriage.

In fact, this kind of behavior is not unique to Sima Anshi, because in the early days of the Wei Dynasty, when he was engaged in Tuntian, he had implemented the method of forced marriage, how outrageous was it? The husband is still in the border military camp, and the wife may have been forcibly arranged by the government to others.

And the husband will not be idle, and the government will also find him a woman in the local area

This is mandatory, and resistance is not allowed, and whoever resists loses his head.

Wei used this method to increase the population and increase the national power, and these policies were abolished during the Cao Pi period.

During the Sima Yan period, because the territory was too large and the population was too small, he could only put forward this policy again and urge the people to have more children.

Such a coercive measure is not very practical, although it can increase the household registration, but because of the poll tax, even if you are born, you may not be able to raise it

Zhonghui has found a way to complete his ambition faster, how can he give up so easily?

But there are also many hidden dangers in this matter.

Over the years, Cao Wei's treasury has been in a state of high pressure, and it belongs to dangling on the edge of the cliff.

The expenditure is simply too large, and the poll tax is one of the important sources of the state treasury.

If the poll tax is abolished regardless of the reckless, the treasury will not be able to bear all the things, and in the end, the temporary increase will be made, and the people will be harmed.

In addition, what Lu Kang said is also very reasonable.

The Wu clan has a lot of experience in fighting with the temple.

And Lu Kang, as a super clan from Wu Di, seems to know a lot about how to distort the temple decrees.

If the temple wants to pass on the poll tax to the big landlords, then they will definitely find a way to transfer the pressure to the poor people.

This must be guarded against.

During these days, Zhong Hui and these two people had a serious discussion about the specific implementation methods.

They have made progress in filling in each other's gaps.

Zhonghui even let go of his own prejudices.

Zhong Hui is not without confidence in himself, he believes that he will be able to complete this matter if he does it, and he does not need the help of others.

However, if someone comes to help him, it means that it can be implemented earlier, and such a policy is implemented as soon as possible, and the sooner it is completed, the sooner the prosperity he wants to create will come.

Before this ambition, Zhong Hui didn't care if it was a villain to help him.

In Zhang Hua's mansion, the three of them were surrounded by papers.

It is said that they will discuss together, but in reality, Zhong will speak his mind, and the other two will be responsible for besieging him.

Constantly finding fault in his thoughts.

Then Zhong will find a way to improve it!

Zhong Hui took one enemy and two enemies, as the proposer, and he was not even left behind.

Although Zhang Hua and Lu Kang did not say it explicitly, they were full of admiration for Zhong Hui's talent in their hearts.

You hate it, but you're really talented!!

Just when the two were besieging Zhonghui, Liu Yuan was also standing at the door, listening to their debate.

Liu Yuan glanced at Zhang Liang beside him.

only to find that this guy was also looking at him.

Zhang Liang smiled and nodded at him, indicating closeness.

In this regard, Liu Yuan rolled his eyes back.

He didn't bother to pay attention to such a guy.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, interrupting the conversation in the house, Liu Yuan heard the movement outside, and couldn't help frowning, he hurriedly looked at Zhang Rail on the side, and said: "Our teacher is here to discuss big things, and someone dares to break in, you go and scold them away!" ”

Zhang Liang was stunned, so he had to turn around and walk out.

Seeing Zhang Liang leaving, the corners of Liu Yuan's mouth slowly rose.

When these three people are discussing important matters in the house, you dare to make a noise outside, and you dare to bang it?

He couldn't help but look at the upper position, only to find that Zhong Hui, who was talking to the two people on the left and right, also glanced at him.

The master and apprentice glanced at each other, and both seemed to have inexplicable smiles on their faces.

Obviously, Liu Yuan's actions were seen by Zhong Hui and he was happy in his heart.

The soldiers stood in many positions inside and outside the mansion, fully armed, and then, surrounded by several close ministers, Cao Chao walked quickly into the courtyard.

As soon as they reached the door, they saw a doll rushing out and blocking them.

"My teacher is gone!"

Cao Chao lowered his head and looked at Zhang Liang in front of him.

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he saw the servants of the Zhang family kneeling in the distance, as well as many armor soldiers on both sides.

At this moment, he realized that something was wrong.

Cao Chao asked with a smile: "You are the son of that Zhang Wen, but you are also filial." ”

Zhang Liang's eyes widened, and he hurriedly bowed to see him.

"Your Majesty!!"

"I didn't know it was Your Majesty coming"

"Hahaha, it's okay!"

Cao Chao walked past him briskly and walked directly into the house.

As soon as they entered the house, everyone in the house hurriedly got up and bowed.

Cao Chao stepped forward with a smile, Zhong Hui took the initiative to give up his upper position, Cao Chao sat down, Zhong Hui squeezed out of Lu Kang's position and stood on Cao Chao's left hand side.

Cao Chao motioned for them to sit down.

"I said why I haven't seen you for the past two days, it turns out that they are all gathered here, so lively, why didn't you call me?"

Zhong Hui replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, I didn't go to Your Majesty because I didn't negotiate. ”

"You're negotiating taxes, aren't you?"

Zhong Hui nodded.

Cao Chao chuckled, "Since it's a big deal, how can I not listen?" ”

"Go on, I'm here to listen!"

Zhong Hui was not restrained, and directly began to continue to discuss major matters.

Zhang Hua believes that if the poll tax is abolished, even if the poll tax is passed on to the field tax, the state treasury will still not be able to bear it.

Zhong Hui has something to say about this.

Zhong Hui believed that after forcing so many large clans to hand over their private farmland and slaves that did not pay taxes, the increase in land taxes would make the treasury richer and richer.

In addition, the largest amount of money spent by the national treasury today is cash-for-work, but the construction of various places can promote agricultural production, and this will gradually disappear.

Zhong Hui took this year as an example, in the entire Sili area, there were originally more than 60,000 people who went to Ji County one after another, but this year, there are only more than 30,000 people left.

The rest of the people have found other means of livelihood, or have farmland, and no longer need to work for the temple to make ends meet.

Zhong Hui estimates that there will be fewer and fewer people who will need to work for temples to make ends meet, because temples will allow them to legally own their own farmland, and even fewer if the poll tax is abolished.

Because they have a very important burden to remove, they can do something else to support themselves.

Cao Chao realized that this was not a negotiation, it was simply a debate between Zhong and the two of them.

But their debates are different from those of celebrities.

Their purpose is not to debate, but to identify the shortcomings and potential risks in the debate, and then to debate them.

Lu Kang also used the methods of the big clan as an example, and on a few occasions he even almost stopped Zhong Hui.

It was the first time Cao Chao had seen such a debate, and he watched it with relish.

Zhong Hui kept recording these contents, and in the end, even Cao Chao couldn't help but join them in the debate.

Several people talked like this for an unknown amount of time, and when it was getting dark, Zhong Hui suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it can be carried out." ”

"The faster this is done, the more benefits there are!"

Cao Chao was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the other two.

Zhang Hua also opened his mouth at this moment and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it can be executed, these days, Zhong Shizhong will check and fill in the gaps, it should not be too risky, if there are defects after the implementation, there are also remedies." ”

Both men agreed.

Lu Kang was a little hesitant, he didn't say that he didn't approve of abolishing the poll tax, but he felt that the two people in front of him were a little impatient.

Is it necessary to implement a policy with such an impact after only a few days of negotiation?

This Wei people's rule of the country is like child's play!

Cao Chao opened his mouth, "Okay, how can you create a prosperous world if you hesitate to do everything?" If something goes wrong, then remedy it, Shiji!! ”

"The minister is here!"

"It's up to you to do this, and it's done as soon as possible!"

"If something goes wrong, you are free to bear it!"

Cao Chao said it very badly, but Zhong Hui was not displeased, on the contrary, he was very happy.

He hurriedly saluted again, "Your Majesty, the minister will make this matter and never disappoint Your Majesty's high expectations!" ”

Lu Kang was completely speechless now.

People say that they are not afraid of hidden dangers, what else can they say?

Then do it!
