Three Kingdoms: Kill Dong Zhuo, I went to Beijing to hold the emperor hostage

Chapter 010

Su Qing’s surging words made Fa Zheng surrender.

Seeing that this guy was a little trembling, Su Qing didn’t joke with the other party.

After stepping forward to personally lift the other party up, he said with a smile.

“Shocked filial piety, quick, discuss big things with me and Wen He!”

Fa Zheng knew that he had just dragged a little, but seeing that Su Qing no longer cared, he was also flattered.

So he saluted Jia Xu, and after getting to know each other, he sat down at Su Qing’s desk.

But after seeing a table of bamboo Janes, he also turned up.

After looking at the roster, he spoke.

“Master, as far as my subordinates know, there are no more talents in Sizhou at present.”

“The descendants of the Shi clan who stay in this place are basically the children of rich families, and except for the flying eagle lackeys all day, they are the permanent residents of the Qinglou.”

“If the Lord has the intention of looking for talent, you might as well go out of the state to find another person?”

For Fa Zheng’s judgment, Su Qing approves.

Indeed, in this current land of Gyeonggi, except for Xu Huang and Fazheng, two talents who had nothing to belong to before, he couldn’t think of any other decent talents.

In the imperial court, there were Wang Yun, Huangfu Song, and Zhu Yan.

But with his own move to control the imperial court this morning, these pedantic people naturally will not be loyal to themselves.

As for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, these two people were ambitious people and would never be willing to submit to anyone.

After thinking for a while, Su Qing decided to put this question aside for the time being and said.

“It’s important to recruit other talent.”

“But this is not a matter of one day or two, and now that I have just taken control of the imperial court, I am not far away.”

“After my decree and military law are established and successfully implemented, I will leave the state.”

Hearing this, Jia Xu, who had always been cautious, nodded: “Lord be cautious, now is indeed not the time for you to leave Luoyang. ”

Fa Zheng said: “It is still the Lord who is worried about it, and it should be so.” ”

Then, Su Qing asked Xu Huang to bring another bamboo simple, and he said.

“This is the revenue and expenditure of Sizhou’s money and grain tax last year, let’s take a look.”

Jia Xu and Fa Zheng took it carefully, but after spreading it out and looking at it for a while, their brows furrowed.

“There has been no drought and flood in these years, so why is the harvest so low and the deficit every year?”

“Is this even the money? Sizhou is one of the richest states in the world. ”

Before the two followed Su Qing, they were not big people in the local area, so naturally they did not have the opportunity to see the tax situation in the land of Gyeonggi.

But now that they look at it this way, they know that the problem is big!

To put it simply, according to the records in this book, the treasury of Sizhou has basically not received much tax money and grain in recent years.

If it goes on like this, it doesn’t matter what will happen to the emperor’s side, it will be difficult to support it just on his own camp.

Moreover, the soldiers under their own lord’s account are all elite.

This man eats horses and feeds, and has no money and food supply, how can he fight in the future?

However, the two strategists were both wise people in the world, and after thinking about it for a while, they solved the mystery of this.

Jia Xu first said: “Lord, the source is in the many clans in the land of Gyeonggi. ”

“According to the imperial court’s treatment of the clans, many of their families have the right to tax exemption or tax reduction.”

“But in this way, they can recklessly encroach on the people’s fields through various means, anyway, to ensure that they will not lose money.”

“Over time, they have more and more fields, but they don’t have to hand over almost a single cent of the harvest.”

“At this point, I want Xiaozhi to know the situation better.”

As Jia Xu said before, Fa Zheng’s ancestors are also broad, which depends on the family identity of the other party’s successive clans.

Moreover, the other family has been in the land of Gyeonggi, and I believe that I know more about the situation of the clans in this area.

Hearing this, Fa Zheng nodded and took the conversation with a sincere face.

“What Brother Wen and Brother said is extremely true.”

“Sizhou is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, a wealthy family, a high-ranking official of a family, a prince of a horse, plus a few to mention more than a thousand households.”

“But most of them have the right not to pay taxes when they get the titles of their ancestors plus their clan status.”

“In this way, the burden of taxation falls entirely on the shoulders of ordinary people.”

“Coupled with the terrible trouble between He Jin and the Ten Constant Attendants in previous years, the laws of the imperial court are chaotic.”

“Naturally, I can’t collect much tax, which is why we have a deficit for many years.”

The words of the two conspirators clearly pointed out the reason for the serious tax deficit in Sizhou.

Although Su Qing didn’t know which families were there specifically, he was making a profit in it.

But he understood that none of the ministers in the court would be able to escape.

And this situation must be changed in one’s own hands.

At this time, Jia Xu suggested.

“Now that the imperial court is in the hands of the lord, this morning’s deterrence, the ministers are even more trembling.”

“The subordinates suggest that tomorrow morning, the lord can propose to let those ministers pay to supplement the deficit in the prefecture’s treasury for many years.”

“If there are those who do not comply, let the Son of Heaven decree that they will be stripped of their official positions and titles, and then they will be allowed to spend money to redeem them.”

Hearing this, Fa Zheng did not continue to express his position, but after thinking for a while, his face showed a trace of fierceness, and he slowly spoke.

“Wen He’s words are indeed a method, but I think it can go further.”

“These family families have made enough money for many years, and it is difficult to scare them with the position of district official.”

“It’s better to just rip off some names and directly send their children and nephews to prison.”

“These ministers attach the most importance to the descendants, and let them spend a lot of money to redeem them, and they must be willing!”

Su Qing looked at these two top conspirators in the world who twisted their beards and flashed a sinister light in their eyes, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.

You two guys are broken too, right?

If you either cut officials or kidnap them, you can’t have a civilized way?

Of course, this was a joke in Su Qing’s heart.

In fact, he knew very well that this was the style of scheming of Jia Xu and Fa Zheng.

Strictly speaking, it is not unusable.

After all, selling official titles and redeeming prisoners and other means, even the previous son of Heaven, Emperor Hanling, often did it.

But in his opinion, there is actually a better way.

“You can really solve the urgent need for a while.”

“But in the end, it is a palliative treatment, not a cure.”

Then, Su Qing paused, and an even more sinister smile appeared on his face.

“They like to take up more land, don’t they?”

“Tomorrow morning, I’ll let them spit out all the fields!”
