From mentioning AK47 to farming in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 110 Tian Yu: I Voted (Tip and update)
He waved to the maid to replace the drinks and food on the table so that he could meet Tian Yu.

Let Tian Yu eat the rest?Unless Zhao Tai wants to humiliate him, the relationship between the two is not that bad.

"Yu, see the prefect."

Tian Yu entered the hall and paid homage to Zhao Tai with a big gift, because he is only white now, not even a minor official.

"There is no need to be too polite for the country, just sit down."

"Could it be that the country is here to say goodbye?"

After Tian Yu sat down, Zhao Tai pretended to be ignorant and asked knowingly, let's go?After he saw the changes in the city, he might not leave.

Favorability: 78
This time there was no revolving door scene, but it was stable in the range of seventy to eighty, which is already a very high value.

Facing Zhao Tai's words, Tian Yu paused for breath, just as Zhao Tai thought, he didn't want to leave.

If they leave now, they will meet in the future either on the battlefield, or when Zhao Tai is attacking the aristocratic family, no matter which one he doesn't want to face.

That's why he came here, but not to say goodbye.

"It's not to say goodbye, but Yu has doubts and wants to ask the prefect to clarify."

They also came with questions, but this time it was obviously different from the last time.

Last time, he was not clear about Zhao Tai's character and way of handling things, which was basically a casual question.

Now it's different, the character and the attitude of dealing with things are just written on the bamboo slips and smashed in the face.

"Is the suspicion of the country still the same as a few days ago?"

Tian Yu shook his head. As for why Zhao Tai cared about officials before, he had already seen the formality and had already given up the idea of ​​exploring it further.

People who have murderous intentions towards aristocratic families, it is meaningless to ask the previous questions.

"Then I don't know what doubts the minister has. Just ask, and a certain person will know everything today."

Zhao Tai was very generous, so generous that Tian Yu looked at Zhao Tai again while his heart tightened.

He knew that Zhao Tai would tell him even if he asked the most important questions today, but if Zhao Tai was not satisfied with his decision, he might not be able to get out of this door.

"First question, can the eunuch tell us the cost and output of paper?"

Tian Yu is also bold. Although this first question is not Zhao Tai's core secret, it is a secret at present or at least within two or three months.

Zhao Tai looked at Tian Yu with sharp eyes, like two knives piercing Tian Yu, making Tian Yu want to lower his head. At that moment, he burst out with the aura of a superior person, which made Tian Yu a little scared.

However, his eyes did not give in, but showed fearless calmness.

If you put your heart into it, you will naturally not be afraid.

"If you talk about the output, the material is enough to be endless. If you talk about the cost, excluding the labor cost, the length and width of five feet is only five dollars."

(One chi in the Han Dynasty was 21.35 to 23.75, here we consider it as 20 centimeters.)
Zhao Tai really answered every question, but when he said this answer, Tian Yu really had no turning back.

"Guo Rang, although people are wise, they should not explore too deeply. It is necessary to know that those who have learned a lot of secrets will not have the goodness behind them."

"If you don't have the heart to prepare, you don't have to make it difficult for me to ask this question. However, if the country wants to leave me, you should not let it go lightly."

This is to remind Tian Yu that if he is not ready to serve him, Zhao Tai will not embarrass him after knowing this secret.

But if it is impossible to leave, he will continue to ground Tian Yu, and will not let him go until the paper can be produced in large quantities.

Tian Yu had no plans to leave before, let alone now.

Originally, he guessed that it was still twenty or thirty yuan a piece of paper, or the kind of paper that was one foot long and wide.

Who would have thought that it would be so cheap, and that it could be mass-produced indefinitely with a constant supply of materials.

This is called expensive?This is an attempt to kill them all, so as not to leave a way for the aristocratic and Confucian families to survive.

He could imagine how many literate people would be in the world if a large number of books came out, and Zhao Tai, who created all these books, would worry about whether anyone would use them?
Remove the defect of talent, and the last thing left is time.

Tian Yu thought of the terrifying and prosperous world in the future, so he just stayed where he was, and after a long time, he even became short of breath, as if Tian Yu's panting was the only sound left in the quiet hall.

As for what Zhao Tai reminded him, he didn't hear a single word clearly, even if he heard it, he wouldn't care at all.

Not quite prepared?Now even if Zhao Tai stabs him with a knife, he will not walk out of this door without surrender.

Zhao Tai made a decision, even if the world's aristocratic family came to pull him, he would never leave.

The identity of a poor family?From now on, he doesn't want it anymore. He still has a future with Zhao Tai and it's fun.

"Ming Gong...ah, no, Governor, Yu has one more question."

Zhao Tai looked at Tian Yu with weird eyes, it started so soon?But I don't seem to be ready.

"ask."

"The eunuch thinks that the aristocratic family must die?"

This really caught Zhao Tai's question, he glanced at Tian Yu, and thought about this question carefully.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhao Tai planned to make a one-size-fits-all plan, because it was simple and convenient.

But now Tian Yu reminds him, can he relax his thinking a little bit?But there was no better way to relax him for a while.

"Whether they must die or not depends on their attitude."

Zhao Tai didn't say what attitude, because he didn't think of a specific one, he could only put forward a concept.

But it was obvious that Tian Yu came prepared, after all, he hadn't slept all night before this.

"In this case, Yu Dao has a solution, but I don't know if the prefect approves it."

In the foreseeable future, after receiving Zhao Tai's affirmative answer to the paper, Tian Yu knew that the aristocratic family would surely face a painful blow.

He never thought about completely disappearing, but the soil for survival would definitely be restricted. The aristocratic family is inexhaustible, which is the inevitability of the development of the times.

But it is different if there are restrictions, at least it is controllable.

Tian Yu doesn't know what will happen in the future, but since Zhao Tai wants to do it, the current aristocratic family must not be able to bear it.

He only hoped that Zhao Tai wouldn't be so ruthless, at least some people didn't have to die as he imagined.

This is the purpose of Tian Yu's coming here, for himself and for those who might be willing to cooperate.

Killing blindly can solve the problem, but it cannot solve all the problems.

Assimilating it and solving the problem is the best result.

Zhao Tai did not expect that Tian Yu was actually ready to make suggestions. In his mind, he should be a person whose military ability is greater than that of a counselor.

But since Tian Yu is willing to speak, Zhao Tai is also willing to listen.

"Since Guorang already has a draft, you might as well come and read it in detail."

"I tell you, Governor, that Yu's strategy is actually simple. The formation of a powerful family depends on land, knowledge, and endless talents."

"If paper can be easily produced according to what the prefect said, then knowledge will inevitably be spread widely, and talents are not limited to aristocratic families, but this requires a comprehensive teaching system."

"The foundation of all this lies in the land and whether the people can have enough food and clothing. Only when they are not hungry can they be willing to read and write."

"Otherwise it would all be empty talk, and it's harder to do that than to have enough paper and books."

Tian Yu came from a poor family and knew the importance of having enough food and clothing. It was good for him to have some fields at home to ensure that he would not go hungry to study.

This kind of analysis is not imprecise, it points directly to the essence.

"The granaries know the etiquette, and the food and clothing know the honor and disgrace. It is also suitable for reading and literacy. If I can solve this point, what should the country do?"

These words were no longer as simple as making Tian Yu take a breath of air, but made him feel astonishing, how could anyone possibly solve such a thing.

But for what Zhao Tai said, Tian Yu could only smile wryly.

What else can Zhao Tai not do?Tian Yu asked himself this in his heart.

"If this is the case, the plan mentioned by Yu should be simpler and easier."

"If you want to eliminate the power of a family, you can first cut off its slaves and return them to freedom. Without the labor force of slaves, their wealth will be wiped out. Taxation will be based on the number of acres. There is no tax exemption by affiliation, let alone exemption from military service by affiliation. If the laborers return the land to the people and return it to the government, leaving only the land for their own cultivation, they will be able to live on par with the common people."

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, as long as you sell yourself as a slave, you can only count as a family's military service. Slaves are private property and you don't need to perform military service.

Although everyone has to pay double for the counting and oral taxes, it goes without saying that this amount of money is more important than having enough labor and not delaying the planting of food every season.

According to the system, people of the right age in each family must unconditionally perform military service, and the aristocratic and powerful families only need to send a few people.

It’s okay not to send one, you can pay to avoid labor, but it’s too expensive, so I only sent a few slaves, so it’s definitely more cost-effective to send a few people.

The wealth of the aristocratic family is not only a large piece of land that can be used to grow food, but also can be mined, or weaving, breeding, and can make a lot of money.

Who would not want to be able to do all this thanks to the cheap labor of slaves, who can exchange some food and worthless things for a lot of wealth.

Tian Yu's idea is to free those slaves, so that the aristocratic family will not have cheap labor to obtain wealth for them.

There is also a tax on every mu of land. Without the slaves of the aristocratic family, it is impossible to grow so much land, and naturally they cannot pay the tax. Although they can use their savings in the past to pay, how long can they pay?

This belonged to Tian Yu's backstab, so it would be no problem to carry it out, but Zhao Tai still shook his head.

He thought it was too gentle and too troublesome.

"The state made this law feasible, but the attitude I'm talking about is that they can hand over all the land for redistribution, return the slaves to freedom unconditionally, hand over the money and food to the government unconditionally, and maybe they can live."

This is all gentle, at least take the initiative to avoid facing the inevitable situation.

"And whether it can survive depends on public opinion."

He didn't say that annexing land, buying slaves is a sin, and you must die.

Instead, let the people judge whether they are guilty or not. If the people say that a certain family is rich and unkind, and has many evil deeds, then it is guilty.

It is possible to divide the land by hunting local tyrants, but it would be too subjective to say that these people are all guilty and deserve to be killed.

The era is different, but the class is the same as in the early days of later generations.

What Zhao Tai said made Tian Yu feel cold. He could completely believe that there were very few people who could achieve the first one.

Add the latter one, and that's even less.

But he thought that he came from a poor family, and he didn't have much land and money anyway, let alone commit any evil deeds.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem to have much to do with his poor family.
