Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 296 So rich?robbery!
After Lu Pheasant dealt with King Changsha by means of thunder, he looked at Luo Xin, who was next to him, and they nodded slightly, with smiles in their eyes.

In fact, the king of Changsha's actions were already expected by the two of them. Lu Zhi's edict clearly aimed to find out the strength of each kingdom.

Although I don't know what Lu Zhi wants to do, it's always right to talk about his strength at a low level and hide his strength a little bit.

Lu Zhi and Luo Xin predicted their prediction, so they picked such a soft persimmon as King Changsha, and then King Changsha really took the bait, and it was a very ridiculous bait.

Lu Zhi originally thought that the King of Changsha would say that there were [-] households. After all, the current Changsha Kingdom should have a population of [-] to [-] households, and hiding [-] to [-] households is already a lot.

Unexpectedly, it was even less than when it was sealed.

Lu Zhi was not angry at all, instead he wanted to laugh out loud, worrying that he had no reason to deal with him, so he handed him the knife himself.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Lu Zhi didn't continue to question the princes and princes of the Liu family directly, but asked Luo Xin: "Dong Ahou, how many household registrations do you have in your feudal kingdom?"

Luo Xin replied: "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, over the years, people from the village have returned to the middle school one after another, and now there are roughly [-] households."

hiss!
Everyone couldn't help taking a few breaths when they heard the words. Over the years, as the dead households have gradually been granted land registration, the household registration has basically increased, but this has directly increased by [-] households, which is enough to seal [-] households. Huchehou is here.

How much tax is there for [-] households alone?
I am afraid that among the Chehous present, there are only a few people who can be richer than this man, such as Fenghou, Anyanghou, Huaiyinhou, Yinghou, Luhou and so on.

Everyone looked at Luo Xin who was only wearing a simple court dress. The only accessory was a jade around his waist, which was extremely simple.

Everyone couldn't help sighing that they are really typical sons of the Luo family, who don't regard luxury as beauty, but only love beautiful jade.

Lu Zhi even praised directly: "I have rewarded Dong'ahou 1 households in total over the years, but now there are [-] households in Dong'ahou's country. the results.

Years of wars have led to a decrease in household registration, but it is not true that so many people died.

It is the fault of the court that countless Limin people are unwilling to be brought under the control of the court.

King Su was kind to the people and had fun with the people, so the people and nobles supported him. The greedy and brutal monarch did not care about the life and death of the people, so the people hated him and even shouted, "When will the sun perish? We will fight with you." perish together'.

The Xia Dynasty had a tyrant like Jie when it was established more than 400 years ago. The Shang Dynasty encountered a tyrant like Zhou when it was established for 600 years. So the kingdoms established by sage kings like King Yu and King Tang also perished.

How powerful the Qin Dynasty was when it swept across the six countries. The millions of troops of the six countries could not be stopped, and the endless stream of counselors and brave generals were no match.

But it collapsed after only ten years of gaining the destiny. Is this just because of such faint kings and treacherous ministers as Hu Hai and Li Si Zhao Gao?
I ordered all the counties and states in the world to recuperate and recuperate, so that you can treat the people of Li people kindly, so that the people will naturally take the initiative to be included in the rule of the imperial court.

Is this something difficult to do?

I don't believe it.

What Dong Ahou has done has won my heart. It is not what a king should do if his ministers are meritorious but not rewarded. Today, I will reward Dong Ahou with a thousand households as a reward to Dong'ahou.

What do you think, emperor? "

Liu Ying didn't expect him to speak on such an important occasion, and immediately said: "The king of Changsha treats Liu's world like this, is this the act of a loyal minister?

I really hate him.

Dong'ahou faithfully assisted his mother and the queen. Such a great achievement is not enough to show his merit without heavy rewards. The son thought that three thousand households should be given food, making Dong'ahou a big country with [-] households. Half of the people in the country It was bestowed by the royal family, such a gift of fame can demonstrate the royal family's trust in Dong Ahou. "

Lu Zhi didn't expect Liu Ying to say such insightful words.

Although the reward was a bit generous, at least the direction was right, and I couldn't help but look at my son who was always kind and cowardly with admiration.

Two incidents in a row finally made everyone react. This is a reasonable report. After ten years, the population has not increased.

The princes and princes adjusted the numbers in their hearts one after another, and the hall was suddenly harmonious.

Luo Xin figured out below that he probably had a figure in his mind about the recovery of the population and taxable land acres of various countries, through the trade of these people, and various consumptions. Some.

He knew right away that these people were still hiding their population. Starting from the registration of households, it was almost instinctive for the rich to hide their population. It was impossible to let go of their naked interests.

This is what Luo Xin wants to fight resolutely. He is good at calculation, and the imperial court has to bear most of the responsibilities, disaster relief, defense, and the cost of the official system. It is not enough to rely on the current revenue.

The main reasons why the court has been able to operate stably over the years are as follows:
One is Luo Xinjia Luoyi, who is really capable. In addition, Luo Chen's reform of the official system basically guaranteed the stability of the imperial court. Under the strongman politics, internal friction is extremely small.

The second is that since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, there have been no major natural disasters. The current court does not need large expenditures, and its financial situation is good.

The third is that Luoling went to the grassland once, which severely damaged the Xiongnu, and the pressure on the border defense of the Han Dynasty was greatly reduced, so there was no need to bear huge military expenditures all year round.

Fourth, although Luochen increased the number of officials, overall, the imperial court still belonged to a typical small government based on Huang Laozhi, and the administrative cost was relatively low.

But this cannot last long. Over the years, Confucianism believed that the time had come and the court should undertake more practical tasks, and proposed the idea of ​​great unification that had been touched as early as the Bangzhou period.

The current Confucianism is very different from Ji Zhao's impression.

They researched the core of Luo Sheng's thoughts from "Luo Gong Chun Qiu", "The ceremony of the king, the whole world."

King Su used etiquette to make Dongyi, Xirong, Jingman, Huaiyi and other barbarians in the world, as well as merchants, Zhou people, etc. into one. To control the world, the core of praise and criticism in the whole "Luogong Spring and Autumn" is the expanded Zhou ritual.

Confucian scholars believe that the first emperor's carts have the same track, the books have the same text, and the unified weights and measures are the restoration of the early Bangzhou system.

Because the two sages of Luokong had read the history books of the Luo family, which clearly recorded that the early emperors of Bangzhou and other countries had the same language, and there was also the official language of seeing the emperor, but after hundreds of years of troubled times, they gradually dispersed. .

Confucianism believes that the current level of the imperial court is not enough, and the control over the feudal country is not enough. This is the general trend.

The implementation of the great unification is not a simple decree and then feedback. This is a very complicated, time-consuming and money-consuming matter. The current imperial court does not have the ability to bear the cost of reform, so Luoxin is eyeing it. Princes and princes.

Big power, little responsibility, big tax collection, little expenditure, this is the status quo of the vassal kingdom.

After the princes and kings reported, the Chehous in the main hall were a little restless. These princes and kings often have 30 households, even 50 households, and [-] households. The combined strength is far better than Guanzhong. How many, especially Chu and Wu, are already rich, and the military pressure is still low, no wonder the King of Wu can spend money like water.

When the last person finished speaking, Lu Zhi said directly: "It seems that evils like King Changsha are a minority after all, I am very pleased.

The exhausted world since the chaotic times at the end of Qin Dynasty has gradually recovered, and it is thriving, and the countries are more prosperous than Guanzhong.

But I am a little worried. For thousands of years, I have never heard of a branch that can grow stronger than the trunk.

I have never heard of floods pouring into narrow rivers without damage.

The population of the various countries has doubled, and the land has tripled, but the money and food tributes dedicated to the emperor have not changed, which is against the law of the Han Dynasty.

Dong Ahou, you are in charge of the money and food of the big man, what do you think I should do? "

The princes and kings cursed in their hearts when they heard the words. As expected, they just changed their tricks to collect taxes from us, but in the palace, looking at the vicious hero who founded the country and under the eaves, they could only bite the bullet and say: "The Queen Mother , You are right, you should pay taxes to the emperor according to the Han law."

As for the laws of the Han Dynasty, they didn't know. Although there were necessary checks and balances when Liu Bang was enfeoffed, the princes and kings still had great power. After all, they were the princes and kings set up to ensure the survival of the Liu family.

The historian quickly wrote down this scene, "The queen mother, the emperor and the kings had a feast, and they made three rounds, and everyone was very happy."

Looking at the treacherous kings of the Liu family, Luo Xin gradually became murderous. Liu Ying is only in her 20s this year, and she will be in power for a long time.

Luo Xin himself was getting older, and he was worried that Liu Ying would not be able to deal with these uncles, so he wanted to remove obstacles for him.

----

The idea of ​​great unification, which had been bred for nearly 300 years, appeared in front of the rulers of the Han Dynasty, and centralization and great unification became the inevitable choice of the rulers of the Han Dynasty.

After more than ten years of recuperation, the central court finally began to intervene in the taxation matters of various princely kingdoms.

Due to the strength of the hero group in the early Han Dynasty and the lack of integration among the princes and kings, the Han court won the initial victory in tax sharing.

This allowed the Han court to obtain a stable tax revenue channel, at least for a short period of time, in addition to tax revenue from the directly-administered territories, which laid a great material foundation for the expansion of the Han court's power.

At the same time, it is also a powerful attempt by the central government to intervene in the localities again. From the perspective of the follow-up policy strategy, this is the first step in a whole set of unification plans. ——"History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
