Chapter 5 Seeking Knowledge of Fuling County (3)
After Guan Yi washed up, he met Zhuge Zhan in the original Guan Tong study.
Zhuge Zhan sat in the main seat without hesitation. Guan Yixin was resentful but still sat down at the lower head with a smile on her face. Old Man Liao was also accompanying the guests.
Liao Hua and Guan Yi did not leave after just talking about Guan Yi's position. Instead, they were entrusted by Guan Yi to be the ideological work of Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Wu, and Mrs. Liu - like those in later generations of Beijing, who felt that all the places in the country were the same as those in the country. In Shu Han, those who lived in CDs for a long time naturally believed that the entire Shu Han except CDs were all deserted mountains and rivers. If the three old ladies did not communicate well in advance, they would have spent a lot of effort to get the appointment of the court. After the three old ladies and even the princess shouted that the court abused the heroes - it would be embarrassing.
Liao Hua finally comforted the three old ladies, and the wives reluctantly accepted Guan Yi's arrangement to go out to teach the foreign county. Zhuge Zhan came here to visit. So Mrs. Huang quickly asked the slaves to call Guan Yi out to meet the guests.
The Guan family's martial arts were passed down from family, and the slaves could do one move and half-stage. The slave who came to pass the message saw Guan Yi entering the realm of forgetting things and forgetting things, and knew that his master's martial arts breakthrough was right in front of him. So he didn't dare to disturb him and quickly returned it. Liao Hua was of course overjoyed when he heard the news, but he felt that it was not good to put Zhuge Zhan outside, so he took Zhuge Zhan to the place where Guan Yi performed martial arts. He also explained Zhuge Zhan in detail in advance, and Zhuge Zhan also expressed his understanding - as a result, this guy didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Guan Yi was interrupted when he was about to break through - Fortunately, this is not a martial arts novel, and there is no such thing as backlash from skill. But Liao Hua and Guan Yi both knew that if they wanted to find such a feeling, it depends on luck.
Zhuge Zhan did not interrupt Guan Yi's shame of breaking through the opportunity at all. Instead, he spoke bluntly: "Zifeng, Zixu was killed. You will inherit the title of Marquis of Han Shouting. This title is the first marquis granted by the late emperor. You must do it well, and don't insult the reputation of this title."
Who are you? Teach people a lesson from the beginning?
"Ye! Yi remembered the teachings of the Shizhong."
Looking at Guan Yi's look of his eyes down, Zhuge Zhan was very satisfied. After stroking his beard, he said, "I came to the mansion three days ago and happened to encounter you fainting. I couldn't explain it to you well. Today I heard that you have recovered, so I rushed over."
"Yi felt guilty when he was traveling back and forth many times. I wonder what the servant said?"
"Well, what I want to say to you is that Zixu's funeral has been done almost. The court must postpone Zixu's title, and make arrangements for Zifeng's inheritance. It also needs to grant Zifeng the position. Regarding the position, I want to warn Zifeng not to have any unreasonable thoughts!"
Don’t think that your surname is Zhuge is very powerful! There are many examples of tiger father and dog son! Believe it or not, I will push you to the ground and destroy your chrysanthemums immediately! Of course, it is to use cucumbers!
"I dare not, thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the Lord. Guan Yi will take whatever the court gives. Guan Yi will never ask for anything that the court does not give."
"Thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the Lord? This is a good sentence. Zifeng has been learning more and more recently. Well, let's talk about the important things. Today, Your Majesty has talked to the Shangshu Ling about you. Your Majesty means that you will inherit the title of Marquis of Hanshouting and the Guan family will be granted one hundred and fifty households. After your three-month filial piety period expires, you will serve as the Left Guard."
You don’t know that there is another saying behind Thunder and Rain: Yang Liu Mutong is not a concubine, right? Idiot! Also, as the President and the Prime Minister, of course you can hear it as a confidential secretary, but you are so impatient to take it out and show that you are well-informed. You are really stupid! But Emperor Liu Chan is really good to the Guan family. On the basis of the original, he allocated 150 households to the family, which means four or five hundred people! How many people are the actual population controlled by the Shu Han government now? Less than 300,000 households, one million households are worth one million (1). Liu Chan is really generous to his family.
"Your Majesty is too kind to the Guan family! Yi is ashamed of you!"
"Well, so I hope Zifeng will not accept this reward."
"As for the order of the minister."
"Yeah." Seeing Guan Yi agreeing readily. Zhuge Zhan was also very satisfied: "About your place, I discussed it with Gong Xi (Dong Jue) and Changyuan (Fan Jian). Since Yanxi, the court's taxes have been reduced by one day, and the government's civil book has been reduced by one day. The root cause is nothing more than the aristocratic families embezzling the common people, causing the people to enter the manors of the aristocratic families and become slaves, thus disappearing from the imperial court's civil book."
"But Jiang Boyue conquered Cao Wei every year and always asked for a lot of money and food from the court. After the war, the fallen soldiers and the court needed pensions. Those who were disabled had to be retired. The court's treasury was gradually overwhelmed..."
This guy said a lot of nonsense with heartache. After Guan Yi could automatically adjust his ears to a closed state, he finally said what Guan Yi wanted to hear: "What we mean is that I hope Zifeng can be a county magistrate of the upper county or a county magistrate of the lower county. Investigate the land, suppress the annexation, and find out a group of borers that disregard the imperial court's laws to enrich the national treasury... We also know that this is aggrieved Zifeng. However, the country is in trouble and people's livelihood is blocked. After Zifeng was an important official in the founding country, he asked to give up his own interests and take on this responsibility!"
Well, although your hopes are actually the same as mine. But I am really unhappy when you talk to me like this! Also, why do you want me to sacrifice? Why don’t the Zhang family sacrifice or the Dong family sacrifice? Why don’t your Zhuge family sacrifice yourself?
Forget it, the situation is better than others. Who asked his father to be called Zhuge Gang?
"As he obeys the order! Guan has no choice but to do so!"
"Very good. In this way, I'll ask Zifeng to refuse His Majesty's reward at that time, and then give me a letter to ask the county to inform you. I'll say goodbye."
...
Quiet, very quiet. He sent Zhuge Zhan out of the gate, Guan Yi and Liao Hua returned to the study room, and neither of them spoke. After a long time, Guan Yi suddenly stood up and threw a vase in the study room to the ground: "Sir! You're too bullying!"
"Oh, Zifeng. Although Zhuge Siyuan is too arrogant, since he became an official, he has not used his power to seek personal gain from the outside, and has been able to seriously treat Zhuge's family members at home, so that he can follow the rules and not fill his personal pockets. He is still a gentleman."
"Uncle, Yi certainly knows that this guy is a gentleman in morality. But such a gentleman is really annoying!"
"Oh, of course I know that you are angry. But your answer in front of Zhuge Siyuan was very good. This is also a coincidence with your plan. This matter should be done."
"Well, I'll have to work hard for Uncle Yi to find a candidate for staff."
"Well, this is my duty. You can go out after the first seventh period. You can only take office after the three-month filial piety period expires. During this period, I will arrange for you to meet some young talents."
"Thank you so much for my uncle."
"It's okay, it's getting late, so I'll go back."
"Yi sends his uncle to you."

Population issues during the Three Kingdoms period:
In this book, the population controlled by pig feet is the basis of pig feet money, food and military strength. Therefore, we need to give a detailed explanation of the population here.
The population of the Chinese Empire has always been a headache for historians. Because there is a considerable gap between the population on the country's books and the actual population of society.
The population on the country's books, except for officials, merchants, and craftsmen, is mainly self-cultivated farmers. This is to pay taxes to the country. Generally speaking, the actual population in society is always greater than the population on the country's books: the aristocratic families are hidden, the deep mountains and forests are not within the effective rule of the country, and they use various means to erase their names from the country's books to avoid taxes. And so on.
Generally speaking, when the country's politics is clear and the central government is strong and strong, the country's book population is relatively close to the actual social population. Otherwise, there is a huge difference.
Specifically during the Three Kingdoms period, when Shu Han destroyed the country, there was a 940,000 account in the state account. When Cao Wei abdicated, the population in the state account was 443,000. When Dongwu destroyed the country, the population in the state account was 2.3 million.
Note that this is just the population in the country's account. What about the actual population? It is not clear. But according to the calculations of "General History of China's Population", Shu Han actually has a population of 4 million, Eastern Wu actually has a population of 5 million, and Cao Wei actually has a population of 13 million.
