Chapter 1727: A wise man who learns from each other
In this case, it will be much easier to calculate all aspects of land taxation. At that time, it will be no problem whether it is divided into acres or using Zhang Juzheng's "one whip method" to combine all taxes.
The aristocratic family that had not paid taxes all year round was already a little cold when they reacted, but now they have no choice but to ask Chen Xi for some benefits.
They agreed too early, and it was too late to go back on their word now. The hole Chen Xi dug was enough to bury all of them present.
"Don't be sad, and don't have cold hands and feet. At least you still have a promise from me. I can tell you part of it in advance. The value of that promise is a thousand or ten thousand times greater than what you lost. It is what I have really prepared for you."
Chen Xi turned around and said with a chuckle.
The spokesperson of the family, whose hands and feet had been cold before this moment, became excited as if he had found the value of living again.
"But you are not qualified before this." Chen Xi glanced at everyone present, "You yourself are not qualified, and your descendants are not qualified, but you still have time. If you want to rely on the promise I gave you
If you can take back thousands of times what you lost today, then you still lack a lot."
After saying that, Chen Xi turned around and left, no longer caring about the representatives of these aristocratic families. The path he chose was much better than the path that these aristocratic families themselves saw.
After Chen Xi left, the tent almost exploded.
Some people asked Chen Xi what they should do if they really wanted to check their land, and some asked Chen Xi what they should do if they really wanted to register their private slaves. Some people started to curse angrily, and there were all kinds of different things in life.
"Master Song, what should we do?" After Chen Xi left, half of the Yongliang family, as well as the sensible families, all united with the Jingzhao Song family.
"Believe him, we have no choice. Now we are not facing Chen Xi alone, but the main power of the Han Dynasty. The power of our aristocratic families is mainly in the officialdom, but this power is not enough to fight against them." Song Yi sighed and said
.
As a descendant of the Zi surname, the Song family has been involved in the officialdom during the Western Han Dynasty. Although it is not as prominent as the Yuan family of the fourth generation and three princes, there are many three princes and nine ministers in the ancestors. It is considered a low-key family. Unfortunately, the turmoil in Luoyang Chang'an hurt the Song family.
vitality.
"Don't we do something?" Wanjia's spokesperson asked.
"It's impossible. The aristocratic families in the world can't defeat each other even if they work together. What's more, it's impossible to work together." Song Yi shook his head and said, "Chen Zichuan's trend has become unstoppable, and this person will practice what he says. As long as he doesn't break the rules,
He is taboo and doesn’t care at all.”
On the other side, other Yongliang families that are still willing to use their brains are concentrated in Yang Liang, the spokesperson of the Hongnong Yang family. As a person of the same generation as Yang Biao, he is the only one who can make up his mind at the last family meeting of the Hongnong Yang family.
The Yang family of the alliance has not gone, but this time the Yang family has come.
But it was also the Yang family who understood that they had missed the opportunity and needed to leave a way out.
"I'm not familiar with Chen Zichuan, but my nephew once said that Chen Zichuan is a gentleman, and I have to believe his words." Yang Liang said solemnly to his allies in the Jingzhao family. Now the Yang family
It is already quite difficult to protect oneself.
[We must jump out of this quagmire quickly, otherwise the Yang family may suffer a disaster that day. Dezu’s wisdom is not inferior to others, but we misjudged the situation when we trained him. Sooner or later, something will happen to Dezu’s character.] Yang
Liang looked at everyone present and thought silently.
The Yang family of Hongnong must find a way out. Unfortunately, the Yang family has a normal relationship with the Chen family, but has a good relationship with the Yuan family. Unfortunately, the attitude of Yang Biao's son-in-law Yuan Shu is difficult to figure out, which really makes it difficult for the Yang family to grasp, and the Yang family
Now I don't want to expose my own weakness.
[Are we not qualified enough?] The head of the Deng family in Nanyang silently thought about what Chen Xi said, [Now our Deng family has moved from Nanyang to Jingxiang due to the Nanyang War, and half of it has been purged by Yuan Shu. The loss of strength is huge, but we must
Said to be unqualified...]
[Is the next generation not qualified? If so, why not believe in Chen Zichuan once?] Deng Zhen was prepared, [I will gather all the children of the Deng family, big and small, to educate them, and I will definitely produce an excellent child.
figure.】
Deng Zhen was also cruel. Although he was forced to death by Yuan Shu and was so angry at Chen Xi, after returning to Jingxiang, he was able to go up the mountain five times to invite the unknown Sima Hui down the mountain to be the teacher of Deng's family.
As for inviting Sima Hui, who had closed the mountain, to stay with the Deng family for a long time, it was enough to teach the Deng family for a generation, which fully shows the character of Deng Zhen.
In other words, when Deng Zhen made up his mind, a child was born in a branch of the Deng family, who was born with inner energy.
"Just call him Deng Ai..." The terminally ill father coughed and gave the baby a name, "I hope he will have a happy future, cough cough cough..."
Of course Chen Xi didn't know at this time that Deng Ai, a famous general in the late Three Kingdoms period, had already been born. What he was struggling with now was that after he finished torturing the family, he got up after a nap. He just left the tent and didn't understand what was going on. A horse fell from the sky and knelt down.
In front of Chen Xi, Sun Ce was hanging on the horse's neck.
"Hey, can any of you tell me what's going on?" Chen Xi looked blankly at Fei Huang, who was kneeling in front of him, struggling to stand up.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other people watching the show all looked stunned at this time. Fei Huang was tortured by Sun Ce for nearly two days and one night. He was as tired as Sun Ce and could no longer fly. He knelt down, but the horse's head was facing forward.
Chen Xi knelt down...
"Congratulations to Zichuan, congratulations to Zichuan. He will rise from the sky, and he must recognize you as his master." Fa Zheng, who has no bottom line and no sense of moral integrity, congratulated him when he came up, without caring about the fact that he was hanging on the horse's neck.
He looked embarrassed and almost rolled his eyes, but Sun Ce didn't let go.
Then a large group of people came over to congratulate Chen Xi, but they didn't say anything until Zhou Yu came over and put his hand on Chen Xi's shoulder.
"Ahem, cough, okay, it's up to you." Chen Xi glanced at Zhou Yu speechlessly. He couldn't do it yet. Fa Zheng, Guo Jia and the others just talked about it, but they haven't seen it so far.
Hasn't any military commander come to congratulate you so far?
After all, we are all people with status and status, so we still need to be careful about this kind of thing. It doesn't matter if we just talk about it, but if we really want to do it, it won't work.
I didn't expect that after Sun Ce caught Fei Huang, everyone knew how to do that move, but no one tried to grab him. They all just waited for Sun Ce to fail.
It can be said that if Sun Ce failed and others took action, it would be called a virtuous person. If someone made trouble while Sun Ce was still working hard, he would definitely be attacked by the crowd, because this is a tacit understanding.
rule.
Similarly, if Sun Ce succeeds, then everyone will stop looking at it. No matter how much envy they have, they can only suppress it. In the future, robbing on the battlefield will be a matter of the future. Anyway, they must not rob now. Not only can they not rob, but they must also congratulate.
But now Sun Ce is kneeling, and Fei Huang is also kneeling, which is embarrassing. Fortunately, Zhou Yu is here to clean up the stall, otherwise God knows what bad situation will happen.
Zhou Yu forcibly removed Sun Ce from Fei Huang's neck. After being removed, Sun Ce stood staggeringly in front of Fei Huang, making a proud look. He looked like he had a lot to say. Zhou Yu couldn't stand it anymore.
Knife knocked Sun Ce down and asked someone to carry him away to save himself the embarrassment.
Zhou Yu ordered people to send Sun Ce back to the camp. As for Fei Huang, he was limping and staggering and stood up with Sun Ce. Zhou Yu thought for a while and asked someone to carry a basket of fine materials to feed Fei Huang.
"Generals, help me take a look. Don't let Fei Huang run away after eating. I'm going to see Bo Fu." Zhou Yu said to a group of generals who were watching Fei Huang.
"If it runs away, I'll catch it and cook it," Dian Wei said cheerfully.
A group of people glared at Dian Wei, while Zhou Yu nodded and turned away without saying anything else.
Chen Xi looked like he was starving to death, being surrounded by a group of people, but still immersed himself in the news and couldn't help but shake his head.
"I'm leaving first, you just have to watch." Chen Xi waved his hand and left. Fei Huang will definitely not belong to him.
"It seems that the major aristocratic families have chosen the path you mentioned." When Chen Xi was about to enter the tent, Xun Yu suddenly appeared and said.
"Well, I've given them enough face, and they can't advance or retreat without knowing it." Chen Xi said calmly, "Brother Wen Ruo, why don't you stop me?"
"Not to mention that I may not be able to stop you, let alone why should I stop you?" Xun Yu looked at Chen Xi and asked.
"After all, the Xun family is also a wealthy family. If I take it off, the Xun family will lose a lot of money." Chen Xi said with a chuckle, "The Xun family has 7,700 hectares of land, equivalent to 770,000 acres, and taxes must be paid on it.
Less than 700 hectares, the loss is not a small amount."
"The Chen family has 7,500 hectares of land, which is equivalent to 750,000 acres. Not counting the family home, the tax payable is probably only 700 hectares. If Chen Hou did this, wouldn't the loss be the same?" Xun Yu said with a smile.
, completely unconcerned, everyone knows everything and no one can be fooled.
"Hahaha, they are the same as each other, so they are all equally black." Chen Xi spread his hands and said.
"I have my ideals, so I can be ruthless, and what is Brother Wen Ruo doing for you?" Chen Xi looked Xun Yu up and down curiously.
"The reason why Zhou Gongjin did not stop this matter and even contributed to it was that there were too many southern aristocratic families and they were too conservative, which ruined the Zhou family's land. Pulling all the southern aristocratic families into trouble would be of great benefit to Sun Ce, but why did brother Wen Ruo do this?" At this time, Zhou Yu also said
As soon as he appeared, Chen Xi turned around and took Zhou Yu with him, and Zhou Yu who was walking forward suddenly stopped.
"You two are arguing, don't take me with you. Our Zhou family is not as heroic as your two, so it's gone if it's gone. The loss is not big." Zhou Yu looked at Chen Xi and Xun Yu, then made an assessment and waved to leave.
I really don't want to get involved.
"Marquis Chen is here for his ideals." Xun Yu spoke slowly, as if he had just learned about it, "Then Marquis Chen thinks who has a better life, the nobles from thousands of years ago or me now."
"It's us now." This kind of question didn't require thinking at all, so Chen Xi opened his mouth to answer, and after answering, Chen Xi instantly understood what Xun Yu meant.
"I'll take a look." Chen Xi pressed his temple, and he understood what Xun Yu meant.
"You are saying that when the country is strong, only the aristocratic families can become stronger. And this kind of strength is not the strength of one family, but the collective strength. It is the overall strength of all aristocratic families." Chen Xi looked at Xun Yu and said, "So even if I
If you don't do it, you will also control the family?"
"Yes, I come from an aristocratic family, but I will also control the aristocratic family, including the Xun family, because the aristocratic family that continues to grow will hurt the country. If the skin is gone, how can the hair be attached?" Xun Yu looked at Chen Xi and said slowly,
Chen Xi understood instantly.
At this moment, Chen Xi looked at Xun Yu with a strange look. What people in later generations said was just a matter of repayment, but what people in this era said involved a matter of priority.
This era can be regarded as the era of aristocratic families. Family comes first, country comes after, and everything is centered around family interests. However, Xun Yu jumped out of this category. He also valued family, but it was very different from the previous aristocratic families.
"You have begun to follow the long river of history to peek at the rules between dynasties and upper-level rulers. Have you seen the ultimate state of the family?" Chen Xi looked at Xun Yu and said, no longer the same as before.
With a slightly arrogant tone.
"As much as I don't want to admit it, my country and my country, only when the tool becomes bigger and stronger can the operator get more benefits, and the operator should not be allowed to destroy the tool to obtain temporary benefits." Xun Yu sighed and said.
, and didn't pay attention to the change in Chen Xi's tone.
"..." Chen Xi had a headache. He found that Xun Yu's national concept was very different from his. But to be fair, from their point of view, Xun Yu's national concept was the correct concept. The butt determines the head!
"So your approach is to lose the upper-level controllers, make the country bigger, and then replace the upper-level ones?" Chen Xi was also convinced. Xun Yu was indeed a person, but he was crooked!
"Aren't you?" Xun Yu asked.
"Did you steal my banned books?" Chen Xi said angrily, "Cai Zhaoji is in charge of banned books. If your old man has no moral integrity, he will definitely get it."
"Don't you think what is said in those books is very reasonable? If the people at the bottom get it and can understand the ideas in it, then it is an out-and-out anti-book, and wouldn't it be appropriate for us to use it to govern the country?
Xun Yu raised his eyebrows and asked immediately.
"From now on, your old man will be included in the unpopular category." Chen Xi answered the question, but angrily scolded Xun Shuang for his lack of moral integrity.
"Uncle is not what you think. He just made a beginning, and I completed the rest myself. However, it is a pity that I was unable to see the original book and take a look at it." Xun Yu said calmly, but there was no trace in his eyes.
Don't hide your covetousness.
Chen Xi had nothing to say after hearing this. With Xun Yu's ability, he pieced together something from Xun Shuang's few words, and then went up to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and various sages to sort out the relationship between the country, the ruling class, the ruled class, etc.
