Chapter 333 The direction of the family (3)
After saying so much in one breath, Guan Yi was still healthy and a little tired. He took a heavy breath, picked up the tea bowl and drank it on his own. Only representatives from the families below sat there in a daze.
To be honest, Zhang, Wei, Hu and other first-class families in Yongliang were extremely dissatisfied with the result of Ji Han's victory over Yongliang. The second-rate families led by Huangfu were in a complicated mood. But no matter whether they were dissatisfied or complicated, it was a fait accompli. Yongliang's political situation was about to change the rules of the game, and the heads of each family could only accept this fact with a pinch of their noses.
Of course, admitting this fact does not mean accepting. The heads of each family actually think the same thing: if Guanyi’s policy seriously damages their interests, they will take various ways to resist - not sending scholars to the office, the government resists all kinds of stubbornly when checking household taxes, or officials who become officials are lazy in their various policies or even deliberately harming the people and causing civil unrest.
And this is just the first step. The next step is to either connect with Liu Chan and find a way to continue Guan Yi. Or connect with Jin State, hoping that the Sima family will liberate them again.
But they never expected that Guan Yi was such a bachelor, so he summoned them together, openly put the things that everyone knew in their hearts but were tacitly explained on the table, and said it openly.
To be honest, their hearts were shocked, and they agreed that Guan Yi made a point. They also believed that if the competition was introduced appropriately according to what Guan Yi said, it would be beneficial to all families and ethnic groups. However! They still don’t want to!
This is normal, this is a typical manifestation of the easy knowledge and difficult action. Just like in modern society, everyone knows that to maintain a figure, you must first control your mouth. But when friends shout to go out to pick a bun tonight, how many people can control themselves?
Even if you can't even control your mouth, let alone people from such a big family collectively change their mindsets?
Of course, Guan Yi would not be so naive, thinking that his heartfelt persuasion would make these guys wake up.
So, after a little rest, he continued to talk on his own.
"I just mentioned the recommendation system and the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system. Next, Guan wants to talk about household tax. Guan knows that in places suitable for farming, people and land are the foundation of everything. You are so opposed to the recommendation system, just to monopolize the career and then use power to protect and obtain more population and land? Therefore, you oppose the inventory of household tax, and Guan expresses your understanding."
"Of course, Guan said it was understandable, but it was unacceptable. Because Guan was the Grand Marshal of this country and was in charge of the Shangshu. If the household tax was not strictly investigated, where did the country's food and salary come from? Where did the source of soldiers come from? Therefore, in February next year, after the spring plowing in Yongliang began, Guan will send a large number of soldiers to investigate the matter from house to house."
"There is no doubt that Guan will be dissatisfied with this. But think about it carefully? The Han does not check the household tax? Will Jin not check it? The fake emperor Sima Yan now reiterates the fifth-class title system, which is not like his father, to give everyone a name to seize the country's self-cultivation farmers. Instead, to confiscate the population of each family based on the title level. It is the Wu Kingdom, where the family has lived the most prosperous life. The butcher knife there has been raised high. Isn't it because the aristocratic families have too many people?"
"Therefore, checking household tax is not the business of my big man family. Jin and Wu are doing it. Relatively speaking, my big man is a little gentler... If you think Guan doesn't like Sun Yuanzong of Wu's Kingdom like killing people, Hum, Guan doesn't mind destroying several three tribes to show you. Some of the heads and clans here today, you have frequent letters with Guandong these days, and some of them mobilize my big man's troops, dredge ditches, and report to Luoyang in detail. Do you really think I don't know anything at all? Haha, but why don't I stop it? Well, first of all, these things are of no value, and the pseudo-emperor knows it. Some things he can't learn even if he wants to learn. Secondly, if you plot to target Guan in the future, Guan wants to kill you, there are also excellent excuses!"
Speaking of this, the atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly changed, and the timid clan leader of the aristocratic family began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Ah, it turns out that they were born from distress and died in peace. Under the system of the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system, which completely protects the interests of the aristocratic families, even the aristocratic families on Yongliang, which had been war-torn, have fallen into this way. If the powerful and elite class of the entire nation continue to fall into this way, it would be strange if it could stop the alien races that emerged from many outstanding people!"
After sighing, Guan Yi spoke again: "Everyone, what he said just now, Guan doesn't want to make him a reality. As long as you can cooperate with Guan to implement the inspection system and household registration tax starting next year, our relationship will definitely be extremely pleasant."
"I dare not, we will definitely cooperate with the Grand Sima to innovate the land of Yongliang." Half of it was indeed reasonable for Guan Yi to speak, and half of it was because the situation was stronger than that of the people. So at this moment, the heads of each family bent down and expressed their surrender to Guan Yi.
"Haha, even though that's the case, Guan knew that everyone was unhappy. The following words were not Guan Yi, the man who was heartbroken to you. But the great Sima of the great man spoke to you."
"We respectfully ask the Grand Sima to show his respect."
"First, in the last twenty days of this year, each county elects the supervisor. The meaning of this official is that the current prefect, the county magistrate and other county magistrates will still be stable as long as there is no special special matter during his term of office. However, in the future, the administrative chiefs of various places are not allowed to use local people. The supervisor of each county must be the local scholars. The supervisor used to represent the governor or county magistrate to patrol the counties and investigate corruption and illegality. Now the official is preparing to add a one-on-one to the supervisor: the power to report the tent. That is, the supervisor can supervise the prefect or governor of the same level. He has the power to write directly to the Grand Sima Mansion of the Han Dynasty and the Shangshu. In this way, it can be slightly guaranteed that the work of filial piety and integrity in each county will be relatively fair in the implementation of the subsequent inspection system."
As soon as he said this, the representatives of the aristocratic families who were dissatisfied in their hearts suddenly smiled: "The fairness of the matter. The supervisor has the power to supervise the prefect, aren't the prefect afraid? Then isn't it very simple for the supervisor to have a vassal vassal vassal? And the supervisors of each county clearly have to be held by locals. Isn't that the family's family members? In this way, filial piety and integrity are also guaranteed.
These guys were laughing, and Guan Yi was also laughing in his heart: Supervisors have the power to supervise, but I have the final say whether the report submitted is implemented or not? Besides, even if the prefect gives Supervisors face and recommends the local aristocratic family as filial piety and honest. But all of these guys are going to Chang'an to pass my level.
This is a routine of giving candy after making a board, which is a compromise between Guan Yi and the local aristocratic families in the recommendation system.
"Then I will continue to say the second article. After the household tax filing is completed next year, each household can confirm the number of tenants and slaves in the family by themselves. Then, pay household tax and count tax according to this. The household tax filing action will be carried out every three years."
After saying this, the various aristocratic families were even happier: Guan Yi’s meaning was understood in three layers. First, it doesn’t matter how much it was found next year. The Ji Han government will not recover their tax evasion based on the number of people they had registered in governments at all levels of Jin. Second, each company can calculate it by itself, depending on how many tenants retained under Ji Han’s existing household tax policy, which can maximize the benefits. Instead, the population registered by the government will be taken away by the government. Third, checking every three years means that once the household tax is checked, the population can be expanded desperately in the next three years.
They were laughing, and Guan Yi was laughing: After all, the great man had just taken this place, how could he use the data of Jin to collect taxes from the great man? As for checking every three years? Humph, with my time traveler here, in three years, the life of ordinary self-cultivated farmers will definitely be more comfortable than the tenant farmers in the manors of various aristocratic families. How can you expand the manor? Hidden more people?
"Everyone, you bid for Yongliang's sales rights last night. The transaction price is at least 50% cheaper than that of the eight prefectures of Kanto and the three prefectures of the Eastern Wu. Guan is very concerned about you. Judging from the usual profits of my Fuxing Society, if you win a county monopoly right, you will be afraid of a million in a year. If you farm this profit, I don't know how much land and serfs will need to earn it for you? So, you must cherish this power. After all, this area monopoly right is not to be controlled for a lifetime after buying it, but to change it every three years."
"Great~!" As soon as the Grand Sima said this, the families who were still secretly happy below were like chickens caught in their throats. After a brief sound, they could no longer scream.
"Well, there is also. Last night, Guan and seven foreign merchants talked with seven foreign merchants for a night. Only then did they realize that the Western Regions today are actually a land of no borders. A city-state with a population of 70,000 or 80,000 people dare to claim to be kings? If the heads of the family grasp this monopoly and accumulate a certain amount of wealth, they will organize a team of land reclamation teams to enter the Western Regions... It is hard to say that they will unify the Western Regions, but occupying a thousand miles of land and being a king of 100,000 people is not easy..."
