Chapter 2393 Not willing to give in? Not willing to give in!
Not everyone has the right to veto.
Or when you want to veto, you should also think about "people at home".
For ordinary people, "family members" are mostly their parents and wives, but for people like Xun Yu and people in the Shandong gentry, the scope of "family members" is
Very big.
At least it includes their families, tribesmen, and various relationship networks established by various families.
"What exactly does the Cavalry General want to do..."
Xun Yu said softly, just like the breeze blowing through the new buds on the treetops in the courtyard.
Guo Jia was also looking at those sprouts, and laughed when he heard the words, "What else could it be? Just what you thought..."
Although the temperature in spring is not high, and there may even be a late spring chill, the buds on the treetops still stretch out without hesitation, showing their childish smiles to the sky.
"Isn't he afraid?"
"We are afraid, does he still need to be afraid?"
"Not afraid..."
"Hehe, hehe..."
There was a moment of silence.
Basically, Yecheng is relatively stable. Although it is not the kind of "stability" that Cao Cao originally wanted, at this time of spring plowing, as long as it is in the interests of the majority of the Jizhou nobles, these guys will not be twitching.
Why don't you come out to sing a drama? Therefore, the entire Jizhou is busy with spring plowing matters. There are no disputes or noises. Everything is peaceful and peaceful.
Among the feudal dynasties, who most hopes for a peaceful and prosperous age, with power passed down from generation to generation?
Of course the bureaucracy!
Among the feudal dynasties, who was the first to know that the house had begun to leak?
Of course it’s still the bureaucracy!
The princes and grandsons raised in the deep palace are white and tender, like the queen in an ant nest. She is definitely not the first to know about external changes.
At the moment of the Han Dynasty, these officials at all levels who felt the changes in the Han Dynasty's body were the children of the gentry.
Among them was Xun Yu.
And Guo Jia.
As descendants of noble families, Xun Yu and Guo Jia saw the problems in society, and they also hoped that they could make up for and correct these problems. In some aspects, they did quite well, at least compared to those who only knew how to do some superficial things.
, the officials posing for photos are much better.
But it's still not enough...
Because judging by their wisdom, all the policies they are implementing at the moment point to destruction. They know that there is something wrong with the big man and he is sick, but they don't know where the disease is, so they were at a loss, looking around, testing everywhere, and then
There was a man standing outside the side door, smiling but pointing at their noses coldly, "What are you looking for? The problem lies with you!"
Suddenly, it was like a bolt from the blue!
"You are lying!"
"I'm not!"
"none of my business!"
First, three consecutive set meals were served, and then the door closed with a bang.
"roll!"
He leaned against the door, his heart pounding wildly. After a while, he peered through the crack in the door and stared at Fei's retreating figure. "Boy, it's freezing and snowy outside. I see you have nothing to eat or drink. You'll be frozen even if you're hungry."
Damn you! Don’t meet the wolf cub again, crying and begging me to open the door!"
Two days later, there was a knock on the door. It was Fei Qian.
He opened the door slightly and was reserved, thinking that Fei Qian was coming to beg for mercy.
"Look! This is the rabbit I shot! The meat from the hind legs of this rabbit is so delicious, do you want some?"
Not here to beg for mercy?
Rabbit meat?
"I put it here for you..." Fei Qian walked away.
The people in the room looked at each other.
"Leaving now?"
"gone."
"What about rabbit meat?"
"Don't eat!"
"..."
"It's a waste not to eat..."
"..."
"It smells so good!"
"Why does it smell so good? At most it's like hunting rabbits. If you're hungry and full, you won't have much future! The crops in our fields are better!"
A few more days passed.
"Look! This is a newly caught wolf! Do you want the wolf skin? I'll leave this for you!"
"Look! These are bear teeth! The bear is too big to move here. I'll give you some bear teeth as a souvenir!"
"Look! This is the tiger you have been talking about for thirty years..."
Fei dives come here again and again.
Then everyone in the room was shocked.
Even though they were blocked at the door, they watched the people inside the house try their best to climb out from the cracks in the door, jump out of the windows, climb out of the smoke holes, and hold up those wolf skins, bear teeth, tiger claws and other things.
Lift it up, hang it on yourself in the sun, show off, laugh, play...
Xun Yu is about to cry, why are you still happy?
Then the little master, who was huddled inside the room, coughed, "My dear, Qiusi's flesh seems..."
"Your Majesty!" Xun Yu lowered his gaze and sighed quietly, "These are all cut from our bodies!"
"Oh..." The little master looked at it with a sense of regret, "You are so pitiful...but it seems...it tastes delicious...look, aren't you eating it yourself?"
Xun Yu was in great pain. He looked at the word "Demolish" in the red circle outside the house and was heartbroken.
Because there is no compensation...
In other words, there is compensation, but the gap is too big compared to what was originally imagined.
The spring breeze may be warm or cold.
"Your Majesty is moved..."
Xun Yu said slowly, coughing twice, breaking the silence in the room.
Guo Jia responded with a groan, "Oh...why didn't you ask His Majesty to wake up?"
"Filial piety!" Xun Yu snorted dissatisfiedly.
"Oh... I mean, why didn't you speak out and remonstrate..."
Xun Yu took a breath, turned his head and looked at the sky, "Didn't you also fail to remonstrate with the lord?"
"Why are we admonishing the lord?" Guo Jia asked, "Let him lie down? Then why did we ask him for it in the first place? Why not just stay with Yuan Benchu?"
"..." Xun Yu was silent for a moment, "But...doing this...isn't it much different from a hussar?"
Guo Jia turned around and asked Xun Yu, "Then what kind of difference do you think we need?"
Xun Yu was silent. Because he didn't know, or he didn't know whether the so-called differences had any effect, or what impact these differences would have on the future.
"Puff, puff, puff..." Guo Jia couldn't help laughing at the side, and then after a moment, it turned into a hahaha, rolling on the floor holding his belly, "Hahahahaha..."
Xun Yu turned his head seriously and stared at the rolling Guo Jia. After a while, his eyebrows gradually softened, and finally he laughed too, a helpless smile, then closed his eyes, shook his head, and sighed.
.
After a long time, Guo Jia stopped laughing, just lying on the floor, and asked: "I came here this time just to ask... if we want to do it, um, similar, I mean similar to
How much military resources are needed for Hussar to pacify the Western Qiang and lead the campaign in the Western Regions? After all, you are more proficient in this aspect..."
Xun Yu closed his eyes and was silent for a long time. He didn't know whether he was calculating silently or thinking about something. Finally, he said, "If we follow the example of Hussar to quell the chaos of the Western Qiang and march westward with an army, it will cost one billion."
, it is estimated that it will take one year, and an additional billion will be needed..."
"Two billion?" Guo Jia raised his eyebrows, "So much?"
"In order to win quickly. If..." Xun Yu was silent for a moment, "If the previous method is used, it is not advisable..."
"Haha..." Guo Jiayi smiled pointedly and repeated, "If the previous method is used, it is not advisable... Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it... In addition, the current battle between the lord Qingxu
...How much military resources will it cost?』
"The preliminary budget requires 800 million. If it is postponed to next year, it may be 2 billion..."
"Huh?" Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then sat up, pondered for a moment, pinched his beard, "Are you including Qingxu's tax loss?"
Xun Yu nodded, with a solemn expression. "Of course it has to be calculated... I know what you mean... How much money did we spend on military resources in total last year? It was seven billion... Last year the imperial court spent a year
Expenditure, 15.3 billion... of which only 1.3 billion was used for water conservancy canals and city-state repairs..."
As for other money expenditures, of course it was the salaries of the official officials of the Han Empire...
After all, Emperor Liu Xie is in Xu County, so the expenses in this area are not a small amount.
"How much was the imperial court's financial income last year?" Guo Jia asked, "You should know the results of the above calculation best. How much is it specifically?"
Xun Yu's face showed a bit of bitterness, "The land rent is 28 million dan, the mu tax is 600 million, and the farm tax is less than 300 million. The oral tax is 1.3 billion, and the additional tax is 18."
Hundreds of millions, count... 400 million, as for the Shaofu... 1.3 billion..."
"Let's leave aside the Young Mansion for now, this is Zi... it's ridiculously small..." Guo Jia knocked on the wooden floor and said, "It should be at least 1.45 billion. Besides, this calculation is wrong... Jizhou, Yuzhou...
』
Xun Yu just smiled bitterly.
Guo Jia thought for a while, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"So the Emperor..." Guo Jia sighed, "Hey, to be honest, I really don't know if Qiaoqi thought of this or not... How about we send the Emperor there!"
Xun Yu became serious and said, "Follow me!"
"Okay, as long as you are happy..." Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "Then what are you going to do with such a big hole?"
Xun Yu lowered his head and said after a long time: "I don't know..."
"No! You know!" Guo Jia slapped the wooden floor with a thud, "The Hussar's income has grown so fast. On the one hand, it is due to the Hussar's agricultural and industrial skills, which have greatly increased the number of people in Hedong and San."
On the other hand, it is Hussar’s new policy!”
"The new policy of Huqi has been implemented in Beidi, Hedong, Shangjun, Guanzhong, Taiyuan, Shangdang and other places. It is already mature!" Guo Jia patted the floor, "We have more acres and more people than Huqi. Rivers,
Water conservancy, transportation, cities, which one is not more than the Hussar? Then what? Look at all our taxes, all of them, which one can be more than the Hussar?"
Xun Yu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't.
It can be said that this year's taxes have increased, and are better than in previous years, but at the same time, there are more expenses. Among these expenses, they were paid in advance to the local nobles and powerful households.
A considerable part of the tax money will inevitably be deducted by these local powerful households.
Moreover, Cao Cao still sent his own people to control the main counties, otherwise the income would be even less!
"Where is the money?" Guo Jia suddenly slapped the wooden floor under him and said angrily, "Where is all the money of this big man?"
Don’t you know where Guo Jia is?
Know.
Doesn’t Xun Yu know where the money is?
Also know.
But I know that it is very difficult to get this money.
Everyone knows where the big man's money has gone. Even Liu Xie, who is in the palace, knows that the 50,000 yuan a jar of drunken immortal wine can be sold out in the market, but the people have no money, and they can't even eat when they are hungry.
They couldn't even afford steamed buns, so they had to dig wild vegetables, roots and bark to survive. At the same time, the court had no money to repair roads, maintain facilities, and build new water conservancy projects. They were digging and digging everywhere.
In the past, the richest people in the Han Dynasty, besides the emperor, were the princes and nobles.
The princes and nobles include kings, princes, princesses, Guanneihou and other prominent dignitaries. These people have fiefdoms, and their income is divided into two types: public expenses and private support. Public expenses are collected from land rent and household taxes, which are mainly used to meet the emperor, worship ancestors, etc.
Matter. Private service is to occupy the fields in the fiefdom, slaves and levy garden trade and market taxes, etc., for private enjoyment.
The public income of these princes and nobles is limited, so in order to meet their own needs, they must find ways to increase private support. The more common method is to annex a large amount of land and use a large number of tenant farmers, farm laborers and slaves.
Another way is to lend money in large quantities through merchants or simply in person and engage in loan sharking business.
Therefore, when the emperor wanted to implement so-called policies that were beneficial to the country and people's livelihood, such as restricting land property, restricting slaves, restricting lending, etc., he immediately fell into a situation of betrayal and alienation. He was often strongly opposed by these princes and nobles, and often failed in the end.
Let it go.
"The Hussar tribe steals and sells war horses, harms the public and enriches private life..." Guo Jia sighed, "The Hussar said to kill, so he killed... Hedong Pei family is also considered a close relative. If it weren't for Pei Juguang, he was still alert... I'm afraid it would be Pei family."
The entire clan will be exterminated in a moment! Sanfu, Hedong, Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu! This is the Hussar’s method! This is why we have no money, but the Hussar’s side has no shortage of money!”
If the imperial court wants to get the money back, it must first take action against these old forces. During the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, there was a successful precedent and a failed precedent. The successful precedent was Emperor Xiaowu, who implemented a series of measures.
He killed many people and succeeded. The precedent for failure was Wang Mang. When Wang Mang came to power, the Han Dynasty was already in a deep crisis. Wang Mang also implemented a series of measures and killed many people, but he failed and finally let
Emperor Guangwu got a bargain.
Therefore, when Fei Qian first implemented the New Deal, many people thought that Fei Qian would follow in Wang Mang's footsteps and just wait and pick up the bargains without having to fight hard. But now they suddenly discovered that the clown was actually waiting and watching himself.
.
Emperor Xiaowu and Wang Mang both started the restructuring under the premise that the Han Dynasty was basically stable. However, with the current turmoil in the Han Dynasty, the risk of restructuring is naturally much higher than that of Xiaowu and Wang Mang!
"Dong's thief brought disaster to the country, Heluo was humiliated, and the three assistants were ruined!" Guo Jia sighed, "So at that time we thought that the three assistants in Guanzhong were doomed, but we didn't expect that this was an opportunity for the hussar to rise! The powerful families of all races in Guanzhong
Wait, in the chaos, they suffered like ordinary people! Therefore, when the Husbands implemented the New Deal, the local area was unable to resist at all! But now that the New Deal has taken hold, it is like a torrent of water that breaks a dike, flowing down from high and unstoppable...
』
"When the hussar generals Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu are in their hands again, people and property will be as high as mountains and as deep as seas! What will you and I do to stop you?" Guo Jia patted his chest, "I can do it for my lord."
Flesh and blood resist, but what about the others? Hussars and iron cavalry gallop through Longxi, rampaging across the Western Regions... Thirty-six countries, what about us? How many cities and countries can we block?"
"You still ask me why I don't persuade my lord..." Guo Jia sighed, "How? You think my lord doesn't know this? Do you think I come here to drink? That's what my lord wants!"
"My lord's intention..." Xun Yu whispered half a sentence.
Guo Jia made a clang and fell back, "Anyway, I don't care... Guo's current situation... Haha, it doesn't matter if I have it or not... Anyway, those guys didn't like me back then, but now... Haha, it's you... what do you want to do?"
manage?"
"The battle between Qingxu and Qingxu will definitely not last long... That boy from the Sun family is also unclean down there..." Guo Jia's voice became smaller and smaller, "Guangling is divided into two, and Taishan is demolished."
Half of it, Xiapi will be cleaned up, Qingzhou will be cleaned up, and then Yuzhou will naturally follow. If Yuzhou doesn't move, Jizhou won't be able to move either..."
"But...how can officials be replenished?" Xun Yu asked, "Could it be...that they were transferred from Yingchuan?"
"Yes, that's why I'm here..." Guo Jia nodded, "I must ask for your approval, otherwise it will be difficult, right..."
Xun Yu smiled bitterly.
On the one hand, he has to pay for his own business, and on the other hand, he has to go to other places. He is also unable to make money and has to endure hardships. How many gentry children are there in Yingchuan...
No. It’s not just Yingchuan.
Lord, does this mean that he will recruit a large number of disciples from poor families, or from lower classes?
Xun Yu closed his eyes in pain. He could even predict that if this was the case, on the one hand, the powerful nobles would lose their financial resources, and on the other hand, they would lose their power. This wave of resistance would surely surge like a monstrous sky.
!
Will these Shandong nobles be willing to accept this arrangement?
Definitely not willing to give in!
Huh? Still not right!
Xun Yu suddenly seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Guo Jia, "This is not my lord's intention! It is your idea!"
"You... thought of it?" Guo Jia's voice was faint, "You just thought of it now? You are so concerned that you are confused..."
"Even so, it is inappropriate..." Xun Yu said with a frown.
Guo Jia waved his hands feebly, "So what if it's wrong? Do you have a better way? Yes, just say... Qingxu will have to fight for a while anyway... If not... haha..."
