The monarch and his ministers talked happily, and Xun You's honesty indeed made the little fat man very happy.
Xun You's words made him feel a little excited, or he was complacent, thinking about how huge the family used to be, with disciples and former officials all over the world, but now, he still needs to send his children to flatter him, for fear that he
To destroy his family, hey, the little fat man can really do it now. The tens of thousands of troops who have just returned to the capital, and the sharpening swordsman Duan Jiong, can't they destroy a few aristocratic families?
In the past, as in the time of Emperor Xiaohuan, it was not feasible to force the emperor to resign. You want to resign? OK, there happen to be hundreds of imperial students who do not have official positions!
The two chatted for a long time. The little fat man valued this young capable minister more and more. After a long time, Xun You said, "There is something I want to report to the country." The little fat man nodded with a smile.
He raised his head and said, "Let's talk." Xun You straightened his body, with a solemn face, and said, "As I traveled from Yanzhou to Luoyang, I saw a lot of land reclaimed by the people, and officials from various places rushed to reclaim it first, and there was countless cultivated land.
"
"It's just that officials do this in order to increase the amount of cultivated land. What they do is more for political achievements. There are not enough local residents, so the cultivated land increases greatly, but there are no people to cultivate it carefully. I am afraid that money is wasted in vain, but it has no effect. Such as
This is especially true in Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Bingzhou and Youzhou. These areas are sparsely populated and tens of thousands of hectares of cultivated land have been opened up. Who will cultivate them?"
After hearing what he said, the little fat man's face became a little cautious. He frowned. If the cultivated land was only cultivated without the personnel to cultivate it, wouldn't it be a waste of these fields? How much money did the court spend on cultivating the land?
If there is no corresponding harvest, how can it be done? He asked again: "Why don't I know this?" Xun You hesitated and hesitated without saying anything.
The little fat man waved his hand and said, "Just say it."
Xun You then said: "Your Majesty lives in the deep palace, so he must not know much about the outside world. The old party officials have proposed these matters to your Majesty many times, but your Majesty..."
"Haha, it's just that I indulged the New Party too much, so I didn't pay attention to it, right?"
Xun You was speechless, but the little fat man knew that this was what he meant. The affairs of Mintun were the foundation of the country. Since the third year of Jianning, up to now, tens of millions of hectares of cultivated land have been added, and the cultivated land in the country has reached an unprecedented level of nearly eight
The huge scale of tens of millions of hectares, and the little fat man has always been proud of it. The officials of the civilian villages are all the confidant officials promoted by the little fat man himself, which is the foundation to fight against these aristocratic families.
Most of the presiding officers are also traitors among the "Ten Thieves" of the imperial party.
The little fat man really didn't think that there was such a thing. Xun You said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that we can still vigorously cultivate land in Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu and other places with many household registrations. These prefectures and counties have many household registrations.
From what I see, more than 100,000 arable lands can be opened in various places. In the areas of Liang, Yi, Jing, You, and Bing, I hope that your majesty can stop the reclamation and let the people cultivate the land carefully, and the officials cannot seek fame and reputation."
"Well..." The little fat man nodded.
"In addition, Your Majesty, Yangzhou has subdued 600,000 mountain people and has the prince personally administering it. I am afraid that it will become a wealthy state again in the future. If Yangzhou can do it, why can't the others?"
"With Bingzhou, there are still hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu tribesmen in Youzhou who are trying to survive, but they don't know how to farm. The weather has been extremely cold recently, and the livestock industry is sluggish. I'm afraid it will cause disasters in the border areas, and the emperor may be able to
Scatter these people, send them to You, Hebei and other places, teach them farming methods, and participate in farming. If these hundreds of thousands of Huns can be settled in various states and places, they will not be able to harm the world, let alone the Xiongnu surrender.
After a long time, within a few decades, these tribesmen will be the same as the local people!"
The little fat man frowned and said nothing.
Xun You added: "The other is Liangzhou. The land of Liangzhou is not suitable for farming, but there are pastures around it for grazing. Why don't your majesty move the Qiang who are close to the Han Dynasty to Liangzhou, so that they and the frontier fortress can be used by the Han people to graze, tame cattle and horses, and have
With General Zhang here, these Qiang people are not something to be afraid of. There are also many barbarians in other places such as Yizhou and Jingzhou. If your Majesty dares to use these people, he will definitely be able to greatly increase the number of household registrations in various places and increase the amount of cultivated land.
It was cultivated by the people.”
The little fat man listened for a long time and then asked: "If this is the case, I'm afraid it will cause great chaos in the future. What if we teach these people the art of farming and they will gradually become stronger in the future?" Xun You shook his head and said: "Your Majesty,
For the Xiongnu, Barbarians, Wuhuan, etc., your Majesty can adopt the policy of separation. Settling them separately and dividing them into dozens of shares will be harmless. Besides, these people are brave and live in the fields just because they are good at shooting horses.
farming...."
Xun You said nothing. The little fat man frowned and thought, if these people can be used, the national power will definitely increase again, but he is still a little worried in his heart. It is best not to act rashly in this matter. The Qiang and Xianbei around him,
Still ready to make a move, it is better to destroy these foreign enemies before doing this, otherwise, if it causes turmoil in the country, the consequences will be disastrous!
Seeing that the little fat man did not agree, Xun You was not angry. He smiled and said: "Since the country is unwilling, I have another plan. I hope that your Majesty will cancel the marriage tax and increase the Ding tax. For those who give birth to boys, it will be eliminated."
Most of them are miscellaneous taxes. In this way, the household registration can also be increased and the farmland can be cultivated, but it will take some time..." The little fat man thought for a while and still felt that this method was better. He clicked
He nodded and said, "That's great."
Xun You put forward many more ideas, and the little fat man also listened to them one by one. Xun You used his talents to successfully make the emperor value him. The emperor named him Yu Lin Lang, always by his side, making suggestions. He originally intended to use
He became Yilang, but Xun You was too young to be Yilang, so he gave up. Xun You received great love from the emperor's side, which also made Xun Jian relax.
In this way, even if something big happens to the Xun family in the future and they face destruction, Xun You will be able to continue the Xun family and prevent it from being destroyed.
This is the real purpose of sending Xun You, not to protect himself, but to leave a root. This is also the consistent style of the big families. Their children are scattered in various camps. No matter which side wins, their family
They can continue to reproduce, and the family will not be wiped out because of a disaster.
Then, it was a very important thing. He wanted to hold a naming ceremony in the near future. The new eldest son of the emperor would have his own name. The little fat boy would live at home. He Xiu, who was writing hard and fast, would be named
Come over and participate in the family banquet, and many ministers who are close to the emperor have obtained this qualification, such as Qiao Xuan, Wen Renxi, Xing Ziang, Yuan Feng, Cai Yong, Cui Shi, Yang Qiu, Zhang He, Dong Zhuo, Duan Jue, Lu Zhi, etc.
wait.
Of course, the emperor did not call Zhang Huan and Wang Fu who were not in the capital.
