The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 142
"Well, my lord, my lord sincerely pays a visit to you. It's fine if you don't appreciate it, and you even sneaked away. If my lord didn't expect you to be like this, I'm afraid you really got it wrong."

Hu Che'er stroked his sleeves, his expression was a little annoyed, and he wanted to make a move.

"Hu'er, don't be rude." Zhang Xiu raised his hand and stopped in a low voice.

Zhuge Liang's deep eyes were full of suspicion, and he glanced at Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu knew in advance that he would run away?Strange, really strange.

"Kong Ming's visiting friend is back?"

At this time, Zhang Xiu was holding the teacup, his eyes were burning, and he said with a smile that was not a smile.

Zhuge Liang smiled wryly and shook his head, clasped his fists and said, "The general was joking. He saw Xueting in the morning. He just came out to visit his friends, but when he learned that the general was here, he turned back to greet him."

Zhang Xiu took a sip of tea, shrugged and smiled lightly, not to expose it.

Zhuge Liang thought about it, and immediately sat down straight away, and said loudly: "Little boy, hurry up and get the fragrant tea that I have treasured for several years, brew it and taste it with the general."

Watching the little boy recede, Zhang Xiu looked at Zhuge Liang again, staring at Zhuge Liang for ten breaths, and said in a deep voice:

"Kong Ming, the world is in turmoil and the people are suffering. Although I have great ambitions, I lack Wang Zuozhi to stabilize my rear and control Jingzhou."

"Recently chatting with Yuan Zhi and Zhou Ping, the two of them admired Kong Ming very much, and they were eager to seek talents, so they came to pay a visit. I hope Kong Ming will forgive me if I disturb you."

At the same time, Zhang Xiu got up and clasped his fists.

A trace of surprise flashed in Zhuge Liang's eyes, he quickly got up and helped Zhang Xiu up, and said at the same time: "He is not as bright as a villager, how can he let the general do this great gift."

Zhang Xiu straightened up and looked at Zhuge Liang intently.

Zhuge Liang: Armed Forces 61, Commander 101, Strategy 105, Internal Affairs 106.Alignment: None.

Zhang Xiu's pupils shrank slightly, tsk tsk, the villager is indeed a villager, and it's not a joke to be able to enter the Wu Temple. Damn, he hasn't come out of the mountain yet, and all the data are so overwhelming.

Is it okay to go out of the mountain?
No, no matter what happens today, the villager has to be tricked into getting into the car, and his legs will be interrupted if he doesn't get into the car, so as not to crawl into Liu Paopao's bed.

But, how do you fool around?
Politics, military affairs, etc., I can't fool myself, and the vision pattern, etc., the villagers may not understand.

"Kong Ming, you are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and you specialize in the study of the world's military books. Isn't it for the purpose of eliminating chaos and governing the world? Don't you know the suffering of the people in the world? Or are you only thinking about yourself and not the people?"

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know how to get Zhuge Liang's points, so he could only try from the records of later generations. The Zhuge Liang in the records is still better for the common people.

Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and immediately became solemn, and said in a deep voice: "The general thinks about the people, but also knows how to make the people live and work in peace and contentment?"

"In other words, the general knows why there are so many wars in today's big man? If the general can solve the confusion, Liang is willing to use what he has learned in his life to help the general calm the chaos and rule the world."

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Xiu with burning eyes. He didn't want to go out of the mountain now, because there is no one in the world who can convince him. Academic military is unmatched, and there is only charisma.

"Let the common people live and work in peace and contentment?" Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows, and then said with a smile, "Low corvee and poor tax..."

Hearing the sound, Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed with disappointment. He thought that Zhang Xiu would have some opinions of his own, but they were too general and even worthless.

However, in the next second, Zhang Xiu continued: "Light corvée and poor taxation are just treating the symptoms but not the root cause. The great Han is in chaos with the land, chaos with the aristocratic family, and chaos with the times."

"Although Emperor Ling is stupid and immoral, he can't change it. It can be said that the Han Dynasty will be destroyed, and a new dynasty will be established, breaking the inherent, and the new dynasty will be reincarnated for a hundred years, but it will eventually repeat the same mistakes. This is the tragedy of the times."

After listening to Zhang Xiu's words, Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed a strange color, and he was even curious about Zhang Xiu's opinion, because he also knew what he said, but how to eradicate it?

"The succession of dynasties is a fixed number. The ancient and modern sages have studied hard, but there is nothing they can do. I don't know what the general thinks?" Zhuge Liang clasped his hands and asked what was in his mind.

Zhang Xiu didn't answer, but said loudly: "Who does Kong Ming think the big man is in control of?"

"The emperor controls, and the family rules."

"Yes, and no."

"The people are hard to survive, and the world will be overthrown. The people are the foundation of the world. Although the Han Dynasty is governed by the aristocratic family, the fate of the country in the Han Dynasty is determined by the people."

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

"More than ten years ago, the Yellow Turban Uprising, within a few months, all states and counties in the world responded, and more than a million people gathered together. Is it really the result of Zhang Jiao's demagogy?"

"Zhang Jiao doesn't have that ability, because the chaos of the great Han is not due to the Yellow Turban, but to the people's hearts. It is because the common people of the Han are difficult to survive. If the common people are stable, who would be willing to rebel?"

"In the final analysis, it was just because the land was annexed by powerful families, and the people became tenant farmers. It happened to be a severe drought, and it was difficult for the people to make a living. Therefore, the chaos of the Yellow Turbans became more and more serious."

"Even if a new dynasty is established and the people get the land, but a hundred years later, the land will be annexed again, and the people will be hard to survive. It will be another dynasty."

Zhang Xiu shouted with a sonorous voice.

Zhuge Liang's eyes were deep, he recognized Zhang Xiu's words in his heart, and asked: "The general's words are indeed fundamental, but how can we cure them?"

Zhang Xiu shook his head helplessly, closed his eyes and said: "The method of radical cure is not difficult, but the interests are solidified. If you do it, you will definitely touch the interests of countless people. The process will be even more difficult. If you are not careful, you will be lost forever."

Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly opened: "Kong Ming is willing to help me, if this method is implemented, you and I will surely leave a legacy in history for future generations to look up to."

Zhuge Liang didn't answer, he clasped his fists and asked, "What exactly is the radical cure that the general said, and how should we do it?"

"Talk into mu, measure the land."

Zhang Xiu's voice is dignified. There are many ways to suppress mergers in ancient and modern times, but this method has the greatest benefits, and it seems to be the most suitable for the moment.

"Excuse me for being stupid, I don't know what the general said?"

"Measure and register all cultivated land, abolish the poll tax, distribute the poll tax required by small households to all cultivated fields, and those with more land shall bear the small tax."

"In this way, the common people will reduce taxes, reduce the population of hidden population, and increase the population of newborns. At the same time, it will help the government to collect tax money, which is a policy that benefits the poor and the rich."

Zhang Xiu roughly explained.

This is not considered ruthless, what is ruthless is the land equalization system and the like, and the aristocratic family dare not make a sound.

Of course, just like this, I am afraid that those powerful families will not be willing, because they have a lot of land, so they have to bear countless taxes.

They are not happy to pay for it.

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression lost in thought. He had read the Four Books and Five Classics, but he had never heard of this method.But after listening to Zhang Xiu's explanation, it is not impossible.

The reclamation of fertile land in the Han Dynasty was limited, and [-]% of the land was occupied by powerful families. If this method can be implemented, the burden on the common people will be greatly reduced.

He can imagine that once the tax is gone, the population of Jingzhou will grow at a very high speed, and there will be no such stupid things as killing children because of the tax.

Population represents productivity and wealth.However, just like what Zhang Xiu said, the difficulty lies in how to implement it, because the aristocratic family will not see it like this.

"If this method is implemented, it will be beneficial for thousands of years." Zhuge Liang appreciated it, and then said: "But the Jingxiang family will not let the general do it. I wonder how the general plans to implement it?"
