Chapter 39: Butterfly Wings (5)
As the name suggests, the commander of the emperor is the driver of the emperor. Now that the chariot has basically withdrawn from the stage of history, this title is actually a virtual title with honor greater than actuality.
Although it is a false title, its level is indeed not low - the emperor's driver. It is normal for such titles to be awarded to descendants of the founding fathers.
"Your Majesty, I have just come from Fuling County. In the past year, Fuling County has been able to be considered a great rule. Take the household registration as an example alone: In the 19th year of Yanxi, there were 20,825 people in Fuling County, with 130,000 mu of land in registered areas. The tax escorted to Yong'an that year was 28,000 stones of grain and 96,000 mu of money. In the 20th year of Yanxi, Fuling County had 23,51, and 137,000 mu of land in registered areas. The tax escorted to Yong'an that year was 35,000 stones of grain and 125,000 coins. In addition, 10,000 stones of grain were escorted to the general station of Wudu County. As of April of the first year of Jingyao, the number of people in Fuling County had increased to 25,23, and more than 350 mu of land were added this spring plowing. It is expected that by the autumn harvest this year, the land tax and taxes could be increased by 10% on the basis of the 20th year of Yanxi!"
The numbers on Guan Suo, except for the 10,000 stone fern root powder given to Jiang Wei by Guan Yi, was vaguely made into food by Guan Suo, the rest were all real numbers. Over the past year, with the large-scale hunting organized by the official and the expansion of the number of county soldiers, the deterrence of the Wuxi Man Villages. The scope of activities of the residents of Fuling County has been significantly expanded, and the Han people, who were originally limited to the valleys on both sides of the Wujiang River, began to dare to cross the mountains on both sides and open up new land behind the mountains.
At the same time, due to the large-scale production of fern root powder, the large amount of grain transported by the Mi family caravan, and the large amount of pork produced in the penshop of Fuling County, etc., the factor that restricts the natural population growth has been greatly alleviated. In the more than a year since Guan Yi was in charge of Fuling County, no Han people drowned their newborn babies in Fuling County. In the 20th year of Yanxi alone, the number of newborns in Fuling County reached 1,05, which is the highest since the establishment of Fuling County in Shu Han.
The abundant food brings not only the increase in fertility rate. There are also many Han people who are scattered in the deep mountains and forests of Fuling County voluntarily return to the civil account of the Shu Han government.
In addition, Guan Tai Shou strictly implemented the Shu Han government's hierarchical household tax policy: the more your family population, in addition to everyone's counting tax, your household tax level will also be raised. This has led to the fact that the large landlord families in Fuling County, which had very few, had to release some household slaves in order to reduce the household tax level - the household tax level is too high, and the money collected by the government far exceeds the value generated by those household slaves.
Of course, the biggest one was the more than a thousand prisoners in Qinjiabao. Also, starting from the first year of Jingyao, the barbarians of Wuxi were constantly attracted by food and went down the mountain to join the Shu Han government's civil order.
In more than a year, although according to Guan Yi's perspective, he had not started to exert real force. However, his butterfly flapping his wings had already caused a slight fluctuation in the sky of Shu Han.
"Good! Guan Zifeng came out to know that Fuling County had agreed with me before that within ten years, the number of household registration in Fuling County would increase by three times. In just over a year, it had increased by 20%. In this way, this ten-year agreement is worth looking forward to. My family, I have 22 counties in the Han Dynasty. In addition to Fuling County, which county has increased by 20% last year?"
This question does not need to be answered. It will increase by 20% per year, and Hanzhong County can occasionally reach it - General Jiang Wei won the Northern Expedition and retreated calmly. Then he will invest the people of two or three counties captured from the land of Cao Wei to Hanzhong County at one time. Apart from this, it is absolutely impossible.
In fact, with the founding of the Shu Han country over time, especially after Zhuge Liang's death, the high pressure on the power of the Shu Han regime on the aristocratic families was weakening. The population on the entire Shu Han government was decreasing.
The population that the government has effectively controlled is the root of soldiers and money and grain. Guan Yi has been in charge of Fuling County for only one year and two months. The population has increased by 20%, and the money and grain paid has also increased by more than 20%. Moreover, through Guan Suo, Liu Chan, who obtained the "Forecast of the Development of Industry in Fuling County" written by Guan Yi, knew that this was just the beginning: once the accumulation of original capital (money, means of production, labor), the various indicators of Fuling County will rise faster and faster, and the various materials it handed over to the court will also increase more and more. Guan Yi has already painted a big cake for Liu Chan in a secret letter: at most two years, the money and grain paid by Fuling County alone will be enough to support the 10,000 permanent troops of the Yong'an Corps. In the future, the income of the two major counties of Ba County and Brazil County can be paid to CDs. At that time, Boss Liu, you can do whatever you want - which boss doesn't like such employees?
As for the reason why these little fish in the court are attacking collectively today, Liu Chan's clan is in the eyes of this old fox who has been emperor for more than 30 years: it is completely allowed for ministers to make some money on the premise of increasing taxes and population to the country - it is necessary to make people a little motivated. You red-eyed patients want to rob them when they see that they are rich? Then, if you have the ability, don't enjoy titles and salary on CDs, and go out to do things by yourself?
Faced with the behavior of a large group of broilers attacking the host just now, the stupidest way to cut off the links one by one. The most effective way is: use the grades to speak out - you have seen the achievements made by me and my brothers over the past year? Who can do it? Who can do it! If you can't do it, don't chat there - the academic masters with good grades are also learning when they sleep! You poor students are all pretending to be attentive in class!
"Well, my dear friends, what else do you have to say?"
Quiet, the whole hall is very quiet.
Liu Chan pulled the corner of his mouth and raised his eyes, and Huang Hao was about to announce his resignation.
At this time, Lai Min, who had been half-closing his eyes and seemed to be half asleep and half awake, suddenly spoke: "I have reported to Your Majesty that I have impeached the Commander of Fengche to leave his post without any reason for this. I have despised the court!"
Nani? This old monster is so savage.
Guan Suo, who was still proud at the beginning, had to leave the seat and apologize: "I am indeed resigning from my post without permission, so I beg your Majesty to punish you."
Although this old guy already understands that this team failed in the group attack this time, he still needs to gain some face to avoid being disheartened by the fact that the team is so disheartened. If this is the case, it will not be so easy to launch a group attack next time.
"Uh, okay. Zhao: Guan Suo, the commander of Fengche, has been resigned from his post for many years. He has been demoted to the position of Fengche, and has been demoted to join the army of the Yong'an Governor's Office."
Puff~~~ Your Majesty the Emperor, are you shameful? Your special car driver has not been at work for more than ten years, so you will be demoted to a job in the end?
"Well, let's do it today. Retreat the court!"
After the court came, a small yellow gate with sweating was already waiting outside: "Your Majesty, the people from Shangshu Ling's family came to pass on the message, saying that Shangshu Ling was not working anymore. The imperial doctor said that today is the deadline..."
"Bastard, why didn't you say it earlier?" Liu Chan's good mood, who had just said "victory and respectful" just now, flew away from the nine heavens: "Prepare the car and go to the Shangshu Ling's mansion."
Chen Fu, the Secretary of Shu Han, lay on the hospital bed for nearly a year, but at this time he finally couldn't hold on.
"Fengzong! Fengzong! You can't have anything to do!" Liu Chan was really anxious this time: Without Chen Qi, who controlled the Shangshutai for him? Zhuge Zhan was a disobedient, Dong Jue? Today, he didn't even dare to make a fart in the court! Where is the Shangshutai? Exercising the will of the monarch and receiving good results is the monarch's contribution. If the effect is not good, you must decisively take the blame for the monarch. For people like Dong Jue, how can you hand over the Shangshutai to him?
But, after all, the great Han Dynasty is now only two people with a little bit of politicianship. Alas, when did the talents of our great Han Dynasty actually wither?
"But is Your Majesty? Ah?"
"Bongzong, I am here. You can't have anything to do! I can't live without you for a moment!"
"Haha, I have no regrets if I can win such praise from Your Majesty." Chen Qi slowly opened his eyes and confirmed that Liu Chan was indeed standing in front of him, and he forced himself to cheer up: "Your Majesty, when I was dying, I have a confidant to report. Please hold your Majesty back and forth."
"Okay! OK! Get out of here, get out of here! Hurry up!"
"Yellow Gate Order, please stay too."
"Uh? Our family wants to stay too?" Huang Hao was dissatisfied when he heard that Chen Qi was going to talk to Liu Chan alone, but when Chen Qi wanted him to stay too, he was full of uncertainty.
"I have not had much time, so I won't talk about those false rituals. Your Majesty, after I go, please refer to Dong Gong as the Minister of State, and at the same time add Huangmen Order to be the Central General. In this way, the inner court can be at peace."
"Good, according to you."
"Although General Jiang Wei, although he also had the selfish desire to maintain his power through the Northern Expedition, he was indeed loyal to our Han Dynasty. On the day of the court, I resisted the pressure from many parties to support his Northern Expedition. I did have the selfish desire to maintain his power through the support of the military. But Your Majesty, if our Han Dynasty does not attack the Northern Expedition, it would be unjust and would not be as good as Liu Zhang at that time. If we do not attack the Northern Expedition, our Han Dynasty would not be destroyed by Cao Wei, and we would be destroyed by the people of Yizhou. Therefore, the Northern Expedition is the only way for the Han Dynasty to live. After I go, there are many difficulties, and Your Majesty still needs to firmly support the General's Northern Expedition."
"Okay, I've recorded it all."
"Yellow Gate Order..."
"What do you want to explain to our family if Shangshu Ling...wuwu...wuwuwu..."
"General Jiang Wei doesn't like you and never gives you money. I know you hate the general deeply. But you have to remember that the general is the only pillar of my Han Dynasty. After I leave, you must assist Your Majesty, suppress Zhuge Siyuan, and continue to support the general's Northern Expedition!"
"Our family...wow...we remember."
"Your Majesty, when the founding of the late emperor in the past, Jingzhou, Dongzhou and Yizhou were three-legged. Although it was the first in Jingzhou and the second in Dongzhou at that time, our Han Dynasty now only had Yizhou. People from Jingzhou and Dongzhou people were rootless trees. As time went by, people from Jingzhou and Dongzhou people could only become weaker and weaker. If your Majesty did not want the people of Yizhou to control the court, you need to... cough cough... layout early... cultivate future generations to make checks and balances..."
"Bongzong, stop talking about this. Is there anything else you want me to do at home? Tell me this quickly."
"Your Majesty, my sons are not good at all. With your majesty's kindness, you must have a good title and a generous salary. I have nothing to worry about. Cough, Your Majesty, I thought that the people of the Yuan Cong had been abolished and the rise of Yizhou people was indestructible. Who would have thought that Guan Yi Guan Zifeng had done a good job this year? However, this son was too sharp and he would definitely have harmed many parties. You also need more care. Cough... If Your Majesty allows me, please let my eldest son go to Fuling County to work..."
