Even though everyone in Yiqian encouraged, ridiculed, and provoked Guo Jia, Guo Jia just laughed, just laughed, and didn't accept the move at all, just like watching a group of monkeys jumping around...
The Great Court Meeting is still held on time, without delay, just like the sun rises again every day, and the Han Dynasty will remain evergreen forever.
Guo Jia stood in the middle of the train and followed them up to the main hall.
As for participating in the court meeting, Guo Jia has long since lost the shock and compliance brought by the original solemn ceremony. It is like that behind every traffic goddess there is one or several men who want to vomit.
Similarly, Guo Jia is more concerned about the changes on the scene and their respective performances.
The emperor Liu Xie on the throne looked somewhat worried.
This is also easy to understand.
In the past two days, Cao Cao took action and naturally did not communicate with the Emperor Liu Xie. Although sometimes the Emperor Liu Xie knew that this communication process was actually just a formality, but still... it was better than nothing at all.
On the other hand, Liu Xie is also in a very critical period, at least he thinks it is a very critical turning point. What he needs is to have more people in the court to support him, no matter whether the support is verbal
Whether in reality or in reality, they are all very needed, so he spared no effort to contact these nobles and nobles, hoping that one day they can play their due role.
However, in fact, the human relations between the government and the public are complicated. Most of the people who can get to this point are human beings. Although these people may be dissatisfied with Cao Cao, they will never take the initiative to cooperate without any benefit.
They want the emperor to go against Cao Cao. More importantly, these people hope that they are within the rules, because only rules can guarantee their interests.
Therefore, in this great court meeting, most people still wanted to operate through rules instead of directly overturning the table, and expressed strong dissatisfaction with Cao Cao's attempt to overturn the table.
Therefore, not long after the meeting of the great court was held, someone took turns to come to the battle, speaking in a cadence of words, all pointing to the big actions of Cao Cao's group in the past two days, exaggerating the tragedy of the people who were killed, and narrating the situation.
The situation was extremely serious, and he even vaguely expressed that Cao Cao had broken the rules by doing this. If Cao Cao continued to do this, what would the emperor and the ministers do? You, the Cao family and the Xiahou family, would be happy.
What's more, Cao Cao can't be considered to have overwhelming power at the moment and can have no scruples. After all, there is a hussar general on the side of the third assistant in Guanzhong. If they really break up, he will attract the hussar general.
It is also a disaster for the Xiahou family of the Cao family!
However, before getting into trouble, everyone still hopes that the situation can be controlled within a relatively reasonable circle. After all, everyone is fishing for fish and meat from the same pond together. We really need to pull apart the berms of the pond.
If it’s gone, don’t we all have to eat it?
However, after the officials murmured for a long time, Cao Cao remained motionless, as if he heard the buzzing of some mosquitoes and ignored them.
Guo Jia secretly took a look at the face of Emperor Liu Xie, and saw that Liu Xie's face became increasingly livid.
Because Cao Cao's gesture not only despised these ministers, but also despised the emperor.
But the emperor Liu Xie's depression didn't stop there, because some people started to impeach him in the palace, but the problem was not big, it was just some servants being domineering, or some mount from someone's house riding on the street.
Alarming the people, etc., they are almost all trivial things. Speaking of them in this situation has no meaning other than disgusting people.
Guo Jia smiled secretly in his heart.
It means these are really a bunch of chickens and dogs.
Sure enough, there is no fighting ability...
Small problems like this suddenly appeared together. In fact, they were not pointed at Cao Cao, but towards Xiahou Dun.
Later, Taichang Liu Yi came out and said that he watched the sky at night and found that there were monster stars that confused the sun and so on...
Now that things have reached this point, it's actually quite interesting.
This is obviously a major impeachment action against Cao Cao's political clique with rhythm, premeditation, arrangement and division of labor!
Immediately afterwards, someone stood up and began to describe that there were soldiers causing trouble around Xu County, and pointed out that they were soldiers under the Xiahou family, and stated sternly that in order to ensure fairness in the trial process of the case,
Request that Xiahou Dun be temporarily transferred out of Xu County, or transferred to another position, or given a leave to avoid suspicion.
Guo Jia stood in the class, watching the show with a smile on his face. After all, the previous court meetings were really boring. There were not many ups and downs and troubles like now.
Everyone knows that it is unrealistic to overthrow Prime Minister Cao Cao at once, so political competitions like this in the court are more about exploiting small things, and then forcing the other party to make concessions step by step.
Finally, when the opponent is unable to resist, he will beat him to death with a stick.
For example, now, the target is not Cao Cao, but Xiahou Dun.
It was Xiahou Dun who took action. This is a fact.
It is also true that Xiahou Dun's soldiers were domineering.
It is also true that it disturbs the people, disturbs the place, etc.
But all the above "facts" are only part of the "facts". Cut off the beginning and end, and just take the middle section. If nothing else, just ask, "How can you prove how many bowls of noodles you have eaten?"
After everyone took turns to go into battle, there was a slight silence in the main hall, and then the Emperor Liu Xie slowly spoke: "What do you think, Prime Minister... of what you have just played?"
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Cao Cao.
Normally, there are two answers.
One is to deny Sanlian.
Shit it all away.
Of course, it will be settled in the main hall, but I believe that soon in the countryside of counties and counties, it will be spread that Cao Cao intends to cover up his crimes, and then colludes with someone, or even steals the wife of his subordinates, and has sex with someone.
Some people become friends and act like Lao Wang, etc. They have noses and eyes, just like they are standing beside classmate Lao Cao's bed watching the battle.
Because Cao Cao could not deny the fact that he had shielded him before, of course he could not clarify the subsequent slander...
The other option is to give in and let Xiahou Dun clear his name.
However, this choice may seem like Xiahou Dun has been cleared of his crimes, but in fact it will cause a gap between the Cao family and the Xiahou family. Once this gap occurs, it goes without saying what the consequences will be.
Everyone is waiting for Cao Cao to make a choice.
Cao Cao tamped down the drought, and the liars were drunk, and the birds were punished.
"My lord...I have written a memorial!"
Emperor Liu Xie couldn't help but take a breath, and then said in a nonchalant tone: "Accurate performance."
Cao Cao looked around, and most of the ordinary officials who caught his gaze lowered their heads or avoided Cao Cao's sight. Only Guo Jia nodded and smiled.
Cao Cao nodded slightly, then raised his head and said in a deep voice: "What is the foundation of a country? Farming and mulberry trees!"
"But how are the farmers in Han Dynasty doing today?"
"Wen Ruo~!"
Cao Cao turned around and shouted.
Xun Yu lowered his head and took a step forward, "I'm here."
"You and the emperor's ministers will describe the current situation of farmers in the Han Dynasty!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.
『Wei.』
There were one thousand five hundred and eighty-seven marquis states. The ancestors were rejuvenated, but there were many officials and many tasks, and ten thousand orders were combined. There were provincial capitals, ten kingdoms, counties, towns, roads, and more than four hundred states. In Xiaoming, one county was established, and in Xiaozhang, the capital was established.
, the second country, Xiaohe to the third, Xiao'an also ordered six people who belonged to the country to lead the county, and the provinces and counties were gradually divided into divisions. As for filial piety, as for filial piety, Fanqi, the country has a hundred and five, counties, members, roads, and waiting for the country
One thousand one hundred and eighty, households are 9,898,630, population is 49,150,220..."
Xun Yu himself was Cao Cao's logistics manager, and all the values almost came out of his mouth, as if they had been engraved in his heart early, and he could pull them out at his fingertips.
"In Xiaoping, there are one hundred and three counties, one thousand three hundred and fourteen counties, thirty-two roads, and one hundred and forty-one princes. The land is 9,320 miles from east to west, and 13,360 miles from north to south.
Shibali. There are 145,136,450 items of land, including 12,528,889 hectares, towns, roads, mountains and rivers.
There are 31,299,947 hectares of Lin Ze, which cannot be cultivated, and 8,270,536 hectares of cultivated land. There are 1,220 households.
One hundred and thirty-three thousand sixty-two, with a population of 59,594,970, the Han Dynasty was extremely prosperous..."
"The Han Dynasty is extremely prosperous!"
At the end of the year, there were also county cases to plan for, and each of them established a document and hid it in the county.』
"At that time, there was a lot of land reclamation in the world that was not real, and the age of the household registration increased and decreased. Xiaoguang Wu issued an edict to the prefectures and counties in the world to check the matter. The officials reported to them, either expressing their sorrow for the powerful and powerful, or the invasion of the weak.
, or the people complain, or the wind covers the road and howls!"
"Just like today!" Xun Yu slowly looked around, his eyebrows trembling slightly, his expression slightly sad and angry, "Emperor Xiaoguang Wu sent his officials to report something, and when he saw something in Chen Liu's official letter, he looked at it and said: "
You can ask about Yingchuan and Hongnong, but you can't ask about Henan and Nanyang." Xiao Guangwu asked him, but the officials refused to obey, so he tortured and interrogated him. Fang said: "In the imperial city of Henan, there are so many close relatives! In the imperial hometown of Nanyang, there are so many close relatives! In the fields and houses
If it exceeds the limit, it will not be accepted!"
"Today, the rural areas of Yingchuan are also "neighbors and close relatives"! Such land management plans are so thin that I don't know if there are any records in the counties and villages! The court does not know the number of acres in the villages and counties, nor the amount of land endowment. It can only sum up the place in one word.
!Nothing can be measured!』
For a moment, everything in the court was quiet...
Cao Cao was originally squinting aside, but at this moment he took a special look at Liu Xie deeply.
Liu Xie averted his eyes in embarrassment, and then seemed to realize that he was showing too much guilt by doing so, so he turned his eyes back again, only to see that Cao Cao was no longer looking at him, but half-turned to face the ministers.
.
"Zhong Shizhong!"
Cao Cao looked at Zhong Ji and said with a half-smile, "I heard that there was a great harvest in your village, with an output of twelve shi of millet per acre. I sincerely congratulate you..."
Stone was originally a unit of weight, one hundred and twenty kilograms, but since the Qin and Han Dynasties, stone has also been used as a unit of capacity, which is equal to dendrobium.
For an average acre of land, the current average yield is about three stones. This yield level is the "fertilization rate", which is the result of the average calculation of fertilizer and infertility.
Of course, in some places, because the soil is fertile and water irrigation is more convenient, the yield per mu is higher than the average level. Generally speaking, if some acres of fields are well irrigated, that is, irrigated fields, the average yield per mu is about four stones and above.
The fields close to the city are not only irrigated, but also receive additional fertilizers. This is called "the field with a thousand acres of land", which means that the fertile fields in the suburbs of the city can produce as much as one mu of land.
One bell is equivalent to four stones and six buckets.
As for the best fertile land, Jikang, who was not far away from the Han Dynasty, said in "On Health Preservation": "Those who plant their fields have ten dendrobiums per acre, which is called fertile land, and this is the general name of the world." In other words, it is good land.
It is not inconceivable that the "fertile farmland" yielded ten stones per acre. This was a highly productive farmland recognized by the world at that time.
Cao Cao said that in the Zhongji Manor, one could produce twelve stones per acre, which was basically one of the few exceptions.
Of course, Cao Cao specifically pointed out Zhongji because the deceased Zhonghong was a member of the Zhong family. Although this sentence refers to acres of land, as long as he is not stupid, he can probably understand what it actually means.
You can hear it.
Zhong Ji's face turned slightly pale, and he quickly raised his hands and said, "It made the Prime Minister laugh... It was just a coincidence, not worth the Prime Minister's concern..." Zhong Ji's answer was quite remarkable.
Cao Cao smiled, then looked around at the other people, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know how much good farmland there is in Guanzhong?"
Everyone was silent.
Cao Cao faced the emperor, raised his hands and said: "According to my investigation, the high-grade fertile land in Guanzhong has an yield of fifteen stones per mu! The medium-grade fields, ten stones; the lower fields, four stones!"
As soon as Cao Cao said this, people in the hall immediately contributed to global climate warming.
Liu Xie was startled, and then frowned. He subconsciously wanted to ask, "Is this true?" but when he was about to say it, he held back. Then he closed his mouth tightly and looked at the ministers.
.
"Chirp..."
"What?"
The hall suddenly seemed to be filled with three hundred ducks.
However, this is not the end, but the beginning.
"Why is there so much difference in food, but there is also salt and iron!"
"Iron! There is no ore to be smelted in Nanyang Iron Shop today! All the iron ore is brought to Guanzhong in exchange for iron ingots in Guanzhong! If the sale of iron is strictly prohibited in Guanzhong, how can soldiers and farm tools be used?"
"Salt! Qingxu is rich in sea salt...but Sichuan and Sichuan produce well salt, and Longxi produces lake salt..."
"Nothing from Shandong is sought after in Guanzhong, but the weapons in Guanzhong are like a hand strangling one's throat!"
"At this moment, there are also beetle officials, who work hard and destroy the place, causing the people to lose their land and the craftsmen to die on the way!"
"As time goes by, all Shandong will be farmers in Guanzhong! Give everything you have to Guanzhong and get rewards!"
The more Cao Cao talked, the angrier he became, and his hair and beard were all stretched out.
The emperor and his ministers could not help but be attracted by Cao Cao's momentum, and they were reluctant to say anything.
What's more, Cao Cao didn't just make strong arguments, but laid out his reasons in front of the emperor and the officials one by one.
In the past, the Shandong gentry looked down on Guanzhong because of the strategy adopted by Emperor Guangwu to suppress the Yong and Bing warriors. In addition, the problem of Xiqiang under the Heng Emperor Ling Emperor had always caused Shandong to need to continuously transport grain money to Guanzhong Longyou, so that the Shandong gentry felt that Guanzhong
Longyou is a bottomless pit, which is no better than junk snacks. It is better to throw it away.
Now Cao Cao pointed out a fact that made everyone shudder. Unknowingly, Guanzhong seemed to have begun to rise in an all-round way and began to overtake Shandong. However, everyone in Shandong had always thought that they could use grain, grass, salt and iron to restrict the strategy of containing Guanzhong.
It doesn't work at all now!
On the contrary, Guanzhong began to clamp down on Shandong!
Cao Cao looked at the increasingly paler faces of the emperor and his ministers. He endured it for a while and did not reveal the gap in taxes, money and food. After all, the gap was so shocking that everyone might lose confidence and simply lie down.
It's too much to say that it's too bad, so I turned to another topic...
"This autumn, the Qinglong Temple lecture will be held again in Guanzhong." Cao Cao specifically glared at a few ministers who had just claimed to be inheritors of the classics and virtuous people who would not do anything evil. "Four years ago, the first official lecture on the Qinglong Temple was set.
The standard of the world's classics and the rule of seeking truth and correctness are now even more serious about the interpretation of the classics! Haha... You guys claim to be the home of the classics, but you don't know that they are now divided through Guanzhong, and the interpretation is determined by Guanzhong. By then, only Guanzhong will be called
All your interpretations of the scriptures are shoddy works... Haha... Heirlooms of scriptures? Shoddy works for generations!"
After Cao Cao said these words, some people could hardly stand and were swaying. If it were not for the support of the people next to them, their legs would be weak and they would fall over.
"The frog at the bottom of the well stops singing in the well, but he doesn't know that the world has changed. It is no longer what it used to be!" Cao Cao squinted his eyes and glanced at those guys with contempt, and then his eyes fell on Taichang Liu Yi, "Liu Taichang!"
This old guy danced the most cheerfully before, so of course Cao Cao couldn't let him go.
Liu Yi suddenly trembled, "Prime Minister..."
Cao Cao asked unceremoniously, "Since you are too often, I would like to ask you, apart from "watching the sky at night can only get it by chance", can you know how the stars in the sky and earth work, and how the solar terms change in the calendar? Can you understand the mountains and rivers clearly?
How do rivers evolve, and how are medical epidemics diagnosed and treated? But there is one thing you are good at, so you can speak frankly!"
"This... veteran only knows a little bit..." Liu Yi still wanted to fool around.
"It's okay if you know a little bit, let's just say it!" Cao Cao didn't let it go at all and asked.
How could Liu Yi say, "This... this..."
"Let's talk about what I just said, "The demon star confuses the sun." Where is the demon star located and why? What is the angle between yellow and white? Where does it come from and where is it going? How long does it invade the sun and how many moments does it stay?
?And..." Cao Cao looked at Liu Yi, who was getting paler and said, "The stars all rise at night. If they collide with the Beidou, that's fine. You just said it was a "confused sun". How can this be seen?
from?"
Liu Yi's head suddenly became as big as a bucket, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"Come here!" Cao Cao shouted loudly, and then pointed at Liu Yi and said, "Taichang Liu Yi, as the ninth minister, does not know the rules, which is unwise. It is disrespectful to talk about superior officials. It is disrespectful to fail to fulfill his duties."
Disloyalty, gossiping, and unbelief! How can such unwise, disrespectful, unfaithful, and unbelieving people stand in the court?"
"Remove his crown! Seize his ribbon and seal! Take him to Dali Temple! Interrogate his accomplices!"
Immediately, a golden-armored guard rushed straight into the palace. Before Liu Yi could react, he slapped Liu Yi's crown off with a slap, and then tore off the ribbon and leather bag from his waist. Liu Yi's hair suddenly became messy.
With his robes flying around, he suddenly looked like a downcast beggar from a dignified minister.
Liu Yi was taken down, and his screams for mercy still lingered in the hall...
The ministers were as silent as cicadas.
Cao Cao bowed his hands to Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty issued an edict to order the hussars to offer gunpowder, but they have been rejected!"
In fact, Hussar hasn’t replied yet...
But it doesn’t matter, isn’t there now?
Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then he felt something strange in his heart.
Cao Cao just clicked this sentence, then looked around and said slowly: "Now the only person in Shandong who can be better than Guanzhong is with one heart! If not, haha... you can do it for yourself!"
After saying yes, Cao Cao threw up his sleeves and left.
The ministers and the emperor could not help but panic...
Guo Jia chuckled lightly, feeling that today's drama was really exciting, so he stepped forward and sang, "Now that the court meeting is over, I retire. May your Majesty be safe!"
Immediately, Cao Cao's men followed Guo Jia and resigned one after another.
The remaining people couldn't help but look at the emperor, and then looked at Xun Yu who was still staying in the same place...
Xun Yu sighed, took out a memorial from his sleeve, and motioned to the Huangmen eunuch to hand it over, "Your Majesty... This is what I have recorded about the taxation of farmers and mulberry trees in the Han Dynasty... Your Majesty, please read it carefully, if there is anything unclear."
, you can inquire at any time... I apologize..."
After saying that, Xun Yu also left.
Emperor Liu Xie took the memorial delivered by the Huangmen eunuch, glanced at it briefly, then his eyebrows jumped, and then he took a breath and said, "Retreat from the court..."
The court has retreated, but the show is now in full swing.
