Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

Fuqiu, criminal officer also.

For many people in Yanzhou, autumn this year is not a good season.Cao Cao led an army to patrol the whole territory. Although he brought relief food, he also brought force to suppress it.

The bandits and bandits who went up to Juxiao Mountain Forest, and went down to Zhangcun and Li Village to fight for water sources, were all settled one by one under the absolute deterrence of force.Cao Jun controlled the Yanzhou water network centered on Onozawa and Dahe, and summoned refugees to dredge the river and build canals in exchange for rations.

Building aqueducts is a big project, and rich people can't sit still.Merchants need to help transport food; poor families need to send out knives and pens.Even the Chen family sold a thousand acres of fertile land along the river to Cao Cao at a low price, so as to suppress the scandal of the side branch's children who bought vegetables.

Chen Gong was so ashamed that he wanted to die, he almost killed him with a sword. "The family is unlucky! My Chen family is not a family that can't eat, beast! Beast!" Although he has a bad temper, he is really upright. He hides in a tent for a few days and refuses to see anyone, but he still has big troubles in Chenliu , just ran out with a sullen face.

Chen Liu, a large county in Yanzhou, gathered celebrities.

Among them was Bian Rang, who was proficient in all kinds of poems and Fu Zhouyi, and was once received by the great general He Jin.If He Jin hadn't been killed by Yuan Shao early, it is estimated that Bian Rang would still be able to enter the central government as Jiuqing.

From childhood to adulthood, things went smoothly, and Bian Rang grew up to be a madman.The Bian family didn't have any farmland with important waterways, so Cao Cao couldn't do it if he wanted to.But who called Bian Rang a madman?How can he show that he is a madman if he doesn't scold the descendants of the eunuch party?

"After Cao A lied to the eunuch, he bought and sold by force, what a villain!" Bian Rang stood in front of his family and friends, "With your family status, are you worthy of talking to us?"

The heads of the aristocratic families who invited Cao Cao to the city for a banquet next to him wanted to cry but had no tears.

And Cao Cao himself was almost laughed out of anger.With a wave of his hand, Dian Wei, Cao Ren and others rushed forward, tied up Bian Rang and his friends, and pressed them directly into the army.

Bian Rang continued to yell while his hands were tied, until something was stuffed in his mouth, and the world was clean.

"You can't, you can't." The white-haired Patriarch of the Bian family wanted to rush up to grab Cao Cao's hand, but he didn't dare, "It's not that I want to favor the children of the family, but Bian Rang is a celebrity at any rate. If we deal with him, I am afraid that the scholars in Yanzhou will put themselves in danger."

"My lord, please get up quickly." Cao Cao raised his hand to support him, and waited for the commotion on the scene to subside before he looked around, "I, Cao Cao, was a eunuch, and this is a fact. If you scold me, I will scold you. It should be a deaf ear. But now that the drought has not subsided, the people have changed their sons to eat, and the surrounding princes are eyeing them. At the critical moment of Yanzhou's survival, disaster relief and training are the most important thing! Who has the time to tell you old stories about birth and fame? ?”

Cao Cao found a stone at the gate of the city and stepped on it, condescendingly, and said loudly: "When you invited me to be the master of Yanzhou, didn't you just see that I could keep the peace? Today, I, Mr. Cao, said here, and everyone has no hatred in the past. There is no resentment in recent days, and everyone will be happy if we work together to overcome the disaster in front of us; if someone pretends to be crazy and plays the same trick with me, then—the people of Yanzhou will suffer badly, and no one can expect to be alone!"

After he finished speaking, the righteousness was overwhelming.No matter how careful Ren Chenliu's family had, they couldn't refuse it on the surface.

"Nuo Nuo. We should go through the difficult times together." The heads of the family nodded one after another, and began to propose food donations very skillfully.Three thousand stones, five thousand stones, because the son of the family has just been arrested, the price offered this time can be said to be extraordinarily sincere.It's all unspoken.

The princes from all over the world came to the heads of the aristocratic families and asked for food donations.The aristocratic family is also suffering, feeling that they are fat sheep that have been shorn.

But Cao Cao didn't play his cards according to the routine.I saw Cao Aman laughed twice with a "hehe": "I entered Yanzhou and got a lot of help from you. I think you have been slandering me for a long time. I also don't think it can go on like this for a long time. I have to worry about how to return favors, your boy Women’s family members who break the law have to be spared; you, when you see me come to the door, you look sad, as if you saw the god of wealth and plague.”

It's heartbreaking to say this, but this is the way princes and aristocratic families from all over the world get along with each other.

Having understood the words to such an extent, Chen Gong couldn't help but not show up.He was originally the liaison between the Yanzhou family and Cao Ying.

"What does my lord want?"

"Pay your taxes."

Just three words seem to be dripping ice water into the frying pan, making people terrified.Almost everyone felt that Cao Cao was dreaming.The aristocratic family also pays taxes on the surface. I said that my family only has five acres of land and five people, and the tax that I pay is only the size of a fingernail.But in fact, how many fields each family has, I am afraid that the owner himself can't figure it out.

Cao Cao's "paying taxes" here means paying all the taxes.If it's true, it will be a heartache.But right now, I'm afraid I have to spit out some hidden households and report them to the government for record.The key is: how much to spit.

"I don't want much." Cao Cao didn't seem to see the fluttering eyes of the family owners, and said to himself, "My brothers' orchards in Weihai are taxed for ten. Xiahou Dun and Xiahouyuan's farms in Pingyuan County are also ten. One tax. I have agreed with all of you that the tax per ten acres will be one, and the head tax and miscellaneous donations will be exempted. If there is any borrowing of grain in the future, I will pay it back within ten years with an IOU. Wen Ruo and Zhong De."

Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, who had been prepared a long time ago, came out in response and distributed the documents to the heads of the families.How many fields each family has, how fertile it is, what crops are planted, how much tax should be paid in total in the end, how it is in famine years, and how it is in good years, everything is clear.

Not to mention the hidden fields and hidden households purchased by the family, even the privately purchased properties of the concubines have been found out, which is frightening to see.

Finally, there is a copy of the "Temporary Tax Law", written in black and white, pasted at the gate of the city.Compared with the rough verbal statement, the paper is much more detailed.Who collects the tax, when the tax is collected, what is the seal, how to collect the mulberry, how to collect the grain, how to collect the horse grass, what is the standard of measuring tools, and where to report the corruption of the tax officials, all the details are exhaustive.

"Every year, pay as much as you want. There is a fixed number for everything, so you can feel at ease, so I can feel at ease." Cao Cao showed a grim smile, pointing to the "Tax Law" where the glue marks were not dry, "The current situation is difficult, and there are many fleeing households. The head tax exists in name only, and it can only be collected from the acres of land. After exempting exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes, one tax out of ten is not too harsh. I have 30 agricultural officials here, and whoever agrees, take one home to collect taxes. This year's drought, the output Low taxes and few, you all have food reserves from previous years, so there is no need to cry about being poor.”

Chen Gong participated in none of the investigations of Yintian, the calculation of taxes, the formulation of tax laws, and even today's coercion.

alienated.

Because he is a child of a family, he was alienated.

No, Xun Yu is also a descendant of a family. Does the Xun family also pay taxes?After the show ended, the restless Chen Gong was the first to find Xun Yu.Before he could speak, Xun Yu guessed what he was going to ask, and raised his hand to count: "Ten tax one."

Chen Gong was stunned: "Your family also pays one out of ten taxes?"

Xun Yu nodded: "My lord's own land is taxed three times and two taxes. Mrs. Cao pays taxes by himself, Gongtai, you may find something wrong?"

Chen Gong remained silent.

"Why did you invite the lord into Yan for what? Is it for safety, or for a wise master?"

Chen Gong sighed: "After all, I still have some friendship with them, I'll go and persuade them."

When someone takes the lead and someone mediates, it will be easier for the people behind to accept it.Finally, the village of Yintian, which is like an iron barrel, also opened a hole towards the Cao family.Rudimentary schools and medical halls were built in the dilapidated houses at the entrance of the village. This time, there were more agricultural officials who guided the farming and measured the acres.

The class conflicts are very clear in Ah Sheng's mind, but for most of the gentry, they can't see it so thoroughly and they can't see it so far. Those who see a little bit more clearly, such as Chen Gong and Xun Yu, will also be separated between the centralization of power and the decentralization of power. swing between.There are also a large number of bourgeois young ladies who joined the underground party. The scholars of this era grew up reading "Journey to the Great Way, the world is for the public".

"Unite all the forces that can be united." Ah Sheng wrote such a clear sentence on a thin life statement, and then put the paper into the brazier and burned it up.

They traveled to Shanfu County, the end of the journey.It's late autumn, and the dew is getting heavier, and the cricket's cry has disappeared.

The academic officer Fan Ming has been stationed here for three years, recruiting hundreds of students, building a road to transport grain, and buying countless fertile fields from aristocratic families.In this way, the entire Shanfu County, regardless of high or low, spread his reputation.

One of the most successful grassroots officials in Yanzhou, Cao Cao admired him very much.

"I asked him to go to Juancheng as a staff member. Hey, he won't go." He complained half-truthfully to his sister, "This kid's future is limitless. It reminds me of Nianqi back then."

Ah Sheng hugged the stove, squatting beside Cao Cao, looking at the roasted chestnuts in the fire. "Let him move. Good job and promotion."

Satisfied, Cao Cao stirred the fire. "I asked him to manage the agricultural tax and Cheng Yu as his deputy, so as to ease the relationship between the two parties." Cheng Yu was not severely punished, and the grassroots officials always felt uncomfortable.Put an Austronesian type on top to prevent them from not cooperating in their work.

"Brother is thoughtful."

Cao Cao pulled out the roasted chestnuts from the fire and peeled them while blowing. "Hey, what is Fan Ming's class at your place? I can't even count."

Ah Sheng took the chestnut meat from Cao Cao, threw it into his mouth, and muttered vaguely: "Actually... I can't figure it out. Go back and check... check the files... I just remember that his parents are both of the same year." born."

"A first-year student?" Cao Cao was surprised, "So we are still acquaintances."

Ah Sheng had already swallowed the chestnut meat and wiped his mouth. "Fan Dapang and female song are all mediocre talents and dedicated to their duties. I don't want to give birth to a political animal like Fan Ming."

"Haha." Cao Cao laughed, "Political animals, what words do you use?"

Ah Sheng clapped his hands, and changed the topic: "After all, he is young, and it is the next generation's business to become a Sangong. I'm afraid you and I won't see it."

Cao Cao wanted to speak again, but Chen Gong had already broken into the camp. "My lord, the Bian family has already paid the taxes, why is it still being detained and refused to let go? Could it be that just because you offended the lord with your words, you are going to invite murder?"

"I..." Cao Cao was interrupted by Chen Gong's words just as he opened his mouth.

"My lord, in the name of disaster relief, I persuaded all the uncles to give in. How can I explain it now?" Chen Gong turned his head and looked at A Sheng, "Mr. Zhonghua is here too. You are well-known all over the world. Great Confucianism, why don't you dissuade the Lord?"

Such a firecracker temper even gave Ah Sheng a headache when he saw him. "Bian Rang interfered with the disaster relief work. Although he is not guilty, he is at fault. Go and persuade him to admit his mistake to brother."

Chen Gong: ... If Bian Rang can admit his mistake, then he should write the words upside down.

"He keeps yelling and cursing, which hurts my brother's prestige. We won't kill him, but a hundred miles south of Shanfu County is Yuan Shu's Yuzhou, the fourth generation and third father. To be able to get along happily with Emperor Yuan Zhong."

There are ghosts who can get along happily.Chen Gong looked dull.

Cao Cao made a final decision: "I have already sent someone to send him to Shouchun. I guess Yuan Shu will scold me very happily. Gongtai, don't worry, with Bian Rang's vivacity, news will come soon. "

The two brothers and sisters of the Cao family cleaned up the furry chestnut shells on the ground.Hey, the house is cleaned, it's time to welcome guests.

In October of the sixth year of Emperor Shaodi, Cao Cao built more than [-] school houses in Xu County, which was waiting to be revived.In the first month of the seventh year, Emperor Han moved to live in the Xuegong, where he taught publicly.

Since then, Xu County has become more and more prosperous, and even Cao Cao's government has taken the exam in Xu County to select students as officials.The "Xuchang Road" referred to by later generations is a short-cut metaphor for the commoner to become an official, and it is also one of the earliest prototypes of the imperial examination.
