Chapter 16: Changes (2)
"Exactly!" Cui Hao said, "My lord, look, Huan Xuan has just taken the position, and he should also want to do something to come out in order to secure his position, at this time, it should be normal for him to get in touch with Tuoba, right?!" The most important thing is that Fu Shu is currently looking at it, but he is loyal to Fu Hong, if Tuoba Jue wants to stab Fu Rui in the back, Fu Hong and Fu Shu should not mind this result. ”
"There's nothing wrong with that." Duan Ye said, "But don't you want to think about it, it's easy for his people to get past Fu Hong's defensive land, but if they want to come back, it's difficult." ”
"I can't say, then Tuoba Jue is still thinking of a fake way to cut down." Cui Hao smiled.
Duan Ye looked at Cui Hao's confident eyes, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
You know, if it weren't for his appearance, this young man would have appeared in the shogunate of the Tuoba family. There, he also gained complete and complete trust, and assisted three generations of Tuoba Jue's ancestors and grandchildren, and made great contributions to the later Northern Wei regime's occupation of most of China.
It's just that as a Han Chinese, his actions have caused countless Han people to be displaced, their families ruined, and later died, which can be regarded as retribution. Speaking of which, if you take him under your command, you will save him.
Now, above Cui Hao's lips, he already has a thin beard, and his character has grown a lot taller, it looks like he is indeed a beautiful young man, and because of the Qinghe Cui family, his status is different after all, Cui Hao's temperament from within makes Duan Ye admire it in his heart, and even a little jealous.
"You're right." Duan Ye said, "It's just that I always feel that this matter is not that simple. But then again, it's not yet time for our tigers to come out of the box, now, let's sit and watch what happens, just like boiling soup, and wait until the simmer is almost over, and everything will fall into place. ”
"My lord."
"Besides." Duan Ye paused, "It's time to work hard for Mr. Zhang." ”
"Chang'an?"
"Chang'an."
……
On the 8th of the month, Fu Shu led the army to meet in the southwest of Jin, the east of Jin was empty, and more than 10,000 horsemen in the clouds suddenly started, went south along the foothills of Taihang Mountain, quickly seized the ferry, crossed the Yellow River, and then took the land of Hanoi directly, and the Central Plains shook!
At this time, it happened that Fu Rui had just sent General Wei to crusade against Huan Xuan.
"How can this be true? Outrageous! Fu Rui had already dropped a few cups, his face was flushed with anger, panting, and he looked like he was choosing someone to eat.
"I knew! I already knew that the Southern Barbarians didn't have a good thing, this damn Huan Xuan, really not a good kind, he actually colluded with Xianbei sluts! actually hooked up with Tuoba, okay, there's a kind! ”
Chu Yu said in a low voice at this time: "Dashuai, I'm afraid it's more than that. ”
"More than that?"
"Dashuai." Chu Yu stood up and said solemnly, "Tuoba Jue has been a nomad in the Yunzhong Hetao for a generation, although he controls more than 100,000 strings, but he lives far away in Saibei and has nothing to do with the Central Plains, how could he personally lead the cavalry thousands of miles away to raid us?" Huan Xuan promised to use heavy profits to let him attack our north to attract our attention, which certainly makes sense. However, it is more reasonable that Huan Xuan sent someone to find Murong Chui, isn't it more convenient? ”
"Murong Chui broke Huan Wen in the first battle in Fangtou back then, so that Huan Wen lost the opportunity for the emperor to do his own, otherwise Huan Xuan may be the Son of Heaven now, Huan Xuan may not have the strength to go to him."
"This time and the other time, each his own master." Chu Yu said, "From the fact that Huan Xuan dared to choose to send troops at this time and strike first, it can be seen that this person's pattern and bearing may be far stronger than we imagined, handsome, we can't despise him." ”
"Well, don't worry, although I look down on him, I won't despise him, these are two different things, I understand."
"Dashuai, Huan Xuan was obviously able to go to Murong Trai, but he didn't look for it, but he looked for Tuoba Jue, because he knew that if he looked for Murong Trai, Murong Trai might or may not help, but as long as he finds it, the relationship between him and Murong Trai is probably Murong Trai taking the initiative. But Tuoba Jue is different, he has many soldiers, but the population is small, and he is very poor, and more importantly, Tuoba Jue has no reputation, people from all over the Central Plains will only regard Tuoba Jue as a barbarian outside the Saiwai, unless Tuoba Jue is like being a chieftain with no interest in Shengle in this life, otherwise, Tuoba Jue must have a reason to enter the Central Plains! ”
"Makes sense. But the ground in the clouds, I'm afraid it's not so easy to come to us, right? Fu Rui said.
"That's the crux of the matter." Chu Yu said, "According to our informant, this time, Chu Yu is walking along the border between Shanxi and Hebei, in other words, he came from the position where Murong Chui and Fu Shu Defense Area are handsome, can Murong Chui and Fu Yu know about this matter?" If you know, can you ignore it? ”
"Then they must have colluded too!" Fu Rui said angrily.
"Not bad." Chu Yu nodded, "Obviously, Tuoba Jue must have gained the tacit approval of many people when he went south this time, including Murong Chui and ......" Chu Yu paused, didn't say anything, just pointed to the west.
Fu Rui understands that the meaning of the West refers to Chang'an. In other words, Chu Yu is hinting that Fu Hong also has a part in this matter.
"What to do." Fu Rui asked directly.
"For today's plan, of course, the marshal personally led the troops north to face the enemy, although Tuoba Jue's cavalry is elite, but it is not invincible, the problem is that the master wants to rely on the morale of our army, while Tuoba Jue is running thousands of miles away, when the soldiers are tired, they will be the first to defeat him and avoid long nights.
"What about the Southern Front?" Fu Rui asked a little eagerly, "Huan Xuan's Jingzhou soldiers are not easy, and now we are fighting on two fronts." ”
Chu Yu was silent for a while, and said: "There is a priority in the matter, and I am willing to lead the army to the south, defend Nanyang, and first ensure that the Henan base area is not lost." ”
Fu Rui thought about it, and it seemed that there was no better way, so he had to nod and say, "Then it's hard for you." ”
"But ......" Chu Yu's eyes lit up, "My lord, I think we have someone on our hands, and it can probably come in handy." ”
"Who?"
"My lord, you are still a spy, when Zhai Bin surrendered, was there a person named Liu Bobo next to him? It is said that this person, Zhai Bin wants to recruit him as a son-in-law. ”
"Oh, yes, there's an impression, there's an impression." Fu Rui said, "This young man is actually quite good, he has that momentum, and I heard that his martial arts are good, Zhai Bin's vision is still good." ”
"Dashuai." Chu Yu said, "As far as we know, this Liu Bobo is the son of Liu Weichen, and he is still a relative with Tuoba Jue, but ...... Tuoba Shi Yijian was defeated that year, to some extent, Liu Kuren and Liu Weichen betrayed him, and this time Tuoba Jue was able to re-establish the country, and it was also based on the blood of the Liu family to sacrifice to the sky, hehehe, Liu Bobo and Tuoba Jue, but the blood sea is deep. ”
Fu Rui also smiled and said, "I understand." ”
……
Duan Ye finally announced the bill to abolish the poll tax. Because according to the current rules of Liangzhou, all major government decisions must be announced in the prosperous area of the town. Of course, after all, in this era, most people are illiterate, and all the government will send people to preach and set up stalls to answer these questions one by one.
In addition, Duan Ye also specially ordered that all village chiefs and lieutenant chiefs must hold meetings to fully convey the government's decision to every person in Liangzhou. Duan Ye absolutely did not allow the phenomenon of the government decree not being assassinated.
Moreover, Duan Ye also told the people of Liangzhou that the reduced poll tax will not be increased in other ways, and other taxes currently being collected, such as commercial tax and land tax, the tax rate remains unchanged, and there is no plan to levy new taxes for the time being.
In this way, Duan Ye naturally has a high reputation and has a reputation for being lightly endowed.
But it's not enough, it's a good reputation, but isn't that still a conscription? Duan Ye is going to abolish forced labor.
So very, the news was announced, from now on, if you have to do any more work, you will have to pay money, and the government at all levels is not allowed to levy conscription!
Needless to say, Duan Ye's image continues to be tall, and the people are moved to tears.
These two policies, in fact, are very beneficial to the common people, but there is no harm to the gentry, anyway, whether it is poll tax or forced labor, it is all the business of your government and your Duan's money. If you Lord Duan don't like a lot of money and want to make the mud legs live a little better, then we can't care about it, right?
Seeing that these policies are implemented, there is basically no resistance, and in the short term, there is no sword soldier outside, and there is no opposition inside, Duan Ye has to show his hole card for reform, that is, to spread the land into the mu!
In fact, this is the proper meaning of the next step of abolishing the poll tax, and it is also the fundamental purpose of the reform. Duan Ye will not be so kind, because the principle of taxation is actually very simple, if you have income, you must be taxed, after all, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, since you are on my territory, you have earned money, and you don't pay taxes to me, so how can you do it.
And the poll tax, Duan Ye abolished him, not because he was too rich, but because the tax was unreasonable, so that the poor became poorer and the richer the richer, and sooner or later one day the poor would not be able to pay it, and they would rebel, which was a matter of drying up and fishing.
Proportional tax is always the fairest, those who have more money pay more, those who have less money pay less, and those who don't make money don't pay, so it's the fairest. In fact, the poll tax and fixed amount tax are turned into proportional taxes, and they are levied in the form of land endowments. Because the best criterion for measuring whether people in this era have money is to see how much land you have, pay more for those who have more land, pay less for those who have less land, and do not pay for those who do not have land.
The principle is as simple as that, but the meaning is very far-reaching. ~
