At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Anyway, using the extra labor at home to manage a small business is a reasonable use of labor, and it is good to earn some pocket money.

Anyone who does this can be exempted from paying commercial tax within three years of starting.

Guo also ordered the Ministry of Finance to learn from the Ministry of Officials and arrange branches in various states and counties.

According to the policy standards of the imperial court, private households who intend to operate small businesses are reviewed, and those who meet the conditions can be given interest-free or low-interest loans to support small businesses.

This policy is completely carried out by the central government without interference from local policies. The leading power lies with the Ministry of Finance, and local governments are not allowed to interfere with the support plan of the Central Ministry of Finance.

Someone Guo put forward such a policy to support the development of private small businesses, start from the bottom to support the development of the tertiary industry, revitalize the economy, and make the economy prosperous.

At that time, many officials in the DPRK and China expressed incomprehension.

They don't know why Guo took out such a sum of money from the state treasury and distributed it to the people.

Aren't you afraid of being in vain?

Isn't it good to use it to give benefits to everyone?

Every official feels strange in his heart.

Because no emperor has done this before.

Although Guo Peng has also done many things that previous emperors had never done.

Mr. Guo doesn't intend to argue with them now. When the time comes, it will be more appropriate to directly discuss the financial income statement.

From the first year of Yande to the fourth year of Yande, although the war continued, generally speaking, the core areas of the Wei Empire, the Central Plains and Hebei, had settled down, and people began to live a normal life.

With this wave of support, the hotels, restaurants and small private shops that emerged have indeed begun to prosper.

Because of the support of Mr. Guo, many officials also began to invite their friends to go to a restaurant to have a meal and a drink to exchange feelings during the holidays.

It is very popular especially among poor officials.

In the local area, it is more popular for low-level officials of Li Shu origin to go to small restaurants to eat some small dishes and drink some small wines.

Similarly, some gentry officials boldly chose to go to wine shops to enjoy new gadgets despite the strange eyesight of their colleagues.

chapter 1014

Although there is some truth in the so-called sitting upright, but in the eyes of more people, the emperor's meaning is the most important.

When you are an official under the emperor, you have to sing against the emperor.

To put it bluntly, do you think today's emperor is so easy to fool the former Han emperor?

Obviously, not every official from the gentry is so attached to the difference between the so-called sitting upright and sitting down.

The gentry is not monolithic, and it is not that there are no rebels.

Just like the officials of Li Shu origin, there are also corrupt people.

There are individuals who betray the class, that's for sure.

Besides, this kind of thing is just to satisfy the appetite of the appetite and to try something new. If it really wants to rise to the debate between Hua and Barbarians, that would be too much.

Zhuge Liang is one of the noble officials who often go to wine shops to drink and eat.

He thinks this method is very interesting and innovative, and it is pleasant and comfortable to eat, and the price is not expensive, which can be afforded by a relatively shy official like him.

The invitees included Xu Shu, Meng Jian, Shi Tao, and Sima Yi.

A small banquet for a total of five people is not open to the public, and the five simply eat a meal and drink a drink that they all like, which is regarded as a farewell to Zhuge Liang.

"Kong Ming, why did you choose to release it? I still don't understand."

Xu Shu offered Zhuge Liang a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and looked at Zhuge Liang with a puzzled face: "Leaving Luoyang, I don't go to Chang'an, but I want to go to Dunhuang... so far away, there are really no wine shops, and there is nothing to have fun. The place is not full of verdant greenery, have you really thought about it?"

Zhuge Liang smiled.

"Your Majesty's imperial decree has been issued, and I have no choice but to go, Yuan Zhi, why do you need to say more?"

Shi Tao also offered Zhuge Liang a glass of wine.

"Kong Ming, you are smarter than us, and you can always think of things that we can't think of. Can you tell the truth, why did you leave?"

"Truth? Guangyuan, have I ever told a lie?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "I have already said the reason, when I am about to be reused, I want to accumulate more practical experience.

I want to know what I should do in Luoyang City in the future to benefit Wei State. I can't figure out this kind of thing after staying in Luoyang City. I want to go out and have a look. "

"But Dunhuang...is too far away, can't Guanzhong work?"

Meng Jian also offered Zhuge Liang a glass of wine.

"Guanzhong has almost been governed. I want to go to a more desolate place and build a place from scratch, from scratch, from poverty to prosperity. Only in this way will it be considered a real political achievement. Only then can I convince myself to return to Luoyang .”

Zhuge Liang paid back.

In the end, Sima Yi was left.

"Kong Ming, I don't respect you anymore."

Holding the wine glass in one hand, Sima Yi said with a smile: "Just now, I also handed in the application form for the release. I think, I will go to Liangzhou to look for you in a short time."

Xu Shu, Meng Jian and Shi Tao looked at Sima Yi in surprise.

Zhuge Liang was taken aback for a moment, and seeing Sima Yi's expression, he smiled sincerely.

"Zhongda, I thought you were just joking."

"At first, I thought you were joking, but after thinking about it, I think you're right."

Sima Yi drank the wine in his glass in one gulp: "If I don't know what I'm doing in Luoyang City, maybe it's meaningless for me to stay in Luoyang City."

"Really going?"

"Really go."

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi looked at each other, then smiled, the scene was full of inexplicable atmosphere.

This made Xu Shu and the other three even more confused.

One or two rushed to leave such a promising place as the cabinet, and go to a bitter cold place like Liangzhou to endure the wind, sun, and harsh environment. What are they planning?

Is it that kind of inexplicable reason?

No matter how they think about it, they can't understand the reasons of these two people, and they always feel that it is stupid to do so.

People cannot understand each other, and the happiness between people is not connected.

The so-called I see you as an idiot, and you should see me as such.

In this era where everyone treats each other as idiots, it is already very rare to be able to respect each other's ideas with words, and to curse if you don't speak or shut your mouth.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi try to understand each other and agree with each other, and they don't treat each other as fools, which is already a model of confidantes.

On the second day after the banquet, Sima Yi was called by Guo Peng to the study of Qinzheng Hall, and then came out to pack his luggage.

In the afternoon of the same day, Sima Yi received an order to be transferred to Guangzhi County, Dunhuang County, Liangzhou to be the county magistrate, and was ordered to prepare within five days and set off for the post.

There was a day's time difference between the two, so Zhuge Liang set off first, and then waited for Sima Yi who came later at the post station in the west of Luoyang City.

After that, the two went hand in hand, savoring the most beautiful scenery in the world along the way, watching the pedestrians coming and going, and embarked on the journey to the border of the empire together.

That must be a long and great journey.

At the same time, someone Guo gave a new task to his courtiers in Luoyang City.

Xiushi.

Edited "Book of the Later Han Dynasty".

In fact, this is not something that Guo himself thought of. Guo has too many things to do, and he has not thought of editing history books.

It’s just that Cai Yong had nothing to do, so he submitted a letter to Guo Peng one day, hoping that Guo Peng could open the palace’s collection of historical materials to him. He wanted to use the rest of his life to compile a history book about the Eastern Han Empire.

He wanted to collect the corpses for the Eastern Han Empire, to fulfill his last thought, to write biographies for those he was familiar with or not, and to record what happened to them.

That's why Guo thought of compiling history.

In fact, he is not to blame. To be precise, during this period, until hundreds of years later, the importance and political significance of history books were not valued by people.

And until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the revision of history books was not an official organization, but a private act. The officials of all dynasties did not think of sending a group of people to compile history for the previous dynasties.

Including "Historical Records", the original name was "Tai Shi Gong Shu", which was Sima Qian's private history book.

The earlier history books of the state of Lu "Spring and Autumn" compiled by Confucius, "Warring States Policy" compiled by Anonymous, and "Bamboo Book Chronicles" are all private history books of a nature.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Gu brothers and sisters jointly compiled the "Han Shu".

During the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, there were "Wei Lue", "Three Kingdoms", "Heroes", "Wei Shu", "Wu Shu" and other private history books written by bureaucrats and scholars from various countries.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, including "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", "Huayang Guozhi" and so on, they were also privately compiled history books.

The government officials at the time had no awareness of this.

I also don't think that history books have the political significance that is generally recognized after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which can draw conclusions on the previous dynasty and declare the legitimacy of one's own regime.

The first person to prohibit private revision of history books was Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, but the Sui Dynasty was short-lived and failed to implement it.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no decree to prohibit it, but a National History Museum was set up to specialize in history books.

Since then, most of the so-called official history that has been recognized has been revised by the official order, in order to conclude the last dynasty and promote the legitimacy of its own regime.

This kind of history books is called official history. Of course, except for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there is no strict prohibition on private history editing, but they are all called unofficial histories.

So the Qing Dynasty had no choice but to popularize the textual research of playing around the edges.

Right now, history revision is just an act of a group of social elites out of some personal purpose or aspiration, and has nothing to do with the government.

For Cai Yong, it was one thing to want to collect the corpses of the Eastern Han Empire, it was another thing to be bored, and it was another thing to want to stand shoulder to shoulder with Sima Qian and the Ban Gu brothers and sisters.

He also wanted to leave something important to future generations.

Chapter 1015 One thousand and twenty-five Guo will never agree!

Cai Yong also left a lot of things for future generations.

It is a pity that many of them were destroyed in the war.

For example, some of the Xiping Stone Scriptures he worked so hard to carve were damaged and lost during the Great Chaos in Kansai. Later, Guo Peng helped to find and restore them, but they were not able to find them all.

Also, the "East View of the Han Dynasty" that he worked so hard to compile was lost during the chaos in Kansai, and there is no trace of it.

Guo Peng sent people to look for it, but they couldn't find it either, so he had to ask Cai Yong to rewrite it himself. Unfortunately, many materials have been lost, and his memory is not that good.

Now he wants to leave something memorable for future generations, and it can be preserved completely to prove that he once existed.

So he thought of writing history books.

This should be the best proof that he can leave his name in history.

Under the dominance of various emotions, Cai Yong presented this memorandum to Guo Peng, asking Guo Peng to allow him to start compiling the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty".

In fact, Mr. Guo also has his own plans to compile history, but he has no specific actions for the time being, let alone compile "Book of the Later Han Dynasty".

He just wanted to make a "Taizu Shilu" to control the public opinion environment, and the purpose was to attack those scholars.

Someone Guo has been working on his own historical record team, collecting black materials of various scholars and officials, intending to compile the "Records of Taizu" to promote the ugliness of scholar politics.

He wanted to pass on the "Records of Taizu" as a political weapon against gentry politics and consolidate his own rule, but he didn't expect to compile a history book for the Eastern Han Empire.

Now that Cai Yong brought up this matter, Guo Peng realized that this matter can be manipulated a little bit.

Let Cai Yong take the lead, and send a team to Cai Yong. Under the leadership of Cai Yong, the emperor ordered the official to compile the history books, and to compile a "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" that is "unprecedented in authenticity and detail".

It must be dominated by the government. How can such an important high ground of discourse and public opinion be given to others?

Who knows where the buttocks of those private people who revise history books will arrange historical figures?

How would you program someone as despicable and irrefutable as yourself?

In order to ascend to the throne of emperor, Guo himself did not know how many unconscionable things he had done, how many people with outstanding instincts he had directly and indirectly killed.
