The Hejia Village incident is the first case of the children of the wealthy clan in Qingzhou who have been found to be fishing and meating the common people in the countryside. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Liu Bei was furious when he heard the news. His soul comes from the afterlife, and he naturally knows that the more grassroots he is, the more unscrupulous those who hold power. Those who are in high positions are more particular about it because of all aspects. As the so-called Hades is good, the little ghost is difficult. That's it.

Why did Liu Bei ask Xun Yu to arrange for the officers and soldiers in the army to disperse to various villages and townships in Qingzhou to investigate the situation? Isn't it just to prevent some shameless people from using the power in their hands to hide and bully their superiors and subordinates, and to fish the people. At this time, many people, except for scholars, have never left the village in their lives, and only a few people have been to the county seat. So in the village, Li Zheng and Xiangkui have the final say on how much imperial grain and national taxes to pay, and these people also have the final say on how many people are enlisted. Forget it in the past. Now that Qingzhou is his own territory, the land grant order is a government decree that he attaches great importance to. There is no reason why Liu Bei is not cautious. How could he let these bastards go bad?

Liu Bei gave an order, and Zhang Fei led a team of men and horses to gallop across the plain. When he arrived in Gaotang, he first went straight to the county office, pulled the county magistrate out, and took off his seal in front of all the officials, except for his official uniform.

The magistrate of Gaotang County didn't know what was going on, so he calmed down and arched his hand: "General Zhang, what crime did the subordinate commit, and he treated me like this?" ”

Zhang Fei coldly opened Liu Bei's edict and preached: "Gao Tang ordered He Zhang, connived at his children, abused the good family for the evil village. One of its sins. has been in office for many years, and every time he is evaluated, it can be seen that he is mediocre. The second sin. The order is to remove the clothes and pick up the seal on the same day, and the car will come to Linjiang! ”

After hearing this, a strange red cloud appeared on his face, he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "I am not convinced!" A certain is the court's own appointment, the head of a county! Even the state pastor has no right to treat me like this! ”

The voice fell, Zhang Feihuan's eyes opened, his eyes showed electric light, only to see Zhang Fei take a step, and then came to He Zhang, and then, Zhang Fei took off the sword on his waist, and everyone saw a snap, an afterimage flashed, He Zhang screamed, and several teeth sprayed down with blood. Half of his cheeks suddenly became red and swollen.

Zhang Fei shouted: "If you don't want to die, shut up!" ”

Zhang Fei sat in the county government and acted resolutely, first letting the county minister temporarily take the position of county magistrate, and then coming to the list of the He family's positions in Gaotang, and deposing them one after another from various townships, pavilions, and villages. A series of actions made the officials of Gaotang County in the Yazhong tremble at the same time, but they couldn't help but be warm, so many positions were vacant, did their relatives and friends have a chance?

As for the culprit He Qian, he was tied to the entrance of Hejia Village and whipped to death. For this kind of rat who relies on power to bully the weak, according to Zhang Fei's fiery temper in the past, he would have been beaten a long time ago, and he was killed. However, he has been cultivating by Liu Bei's side for a long time, and he gradually knows how to advance and retreat and endure.

At this time, the ancient style still existed, and it stands to reason that the pastor of a state did not interfere much with how the local officials under his command governed the local government. This time, Liu Bei crossed the plain and directly intervened in the affairs of Gaotang County, and his tentacles went deep into the lowest levels such as Pavilion and Li. Although there is a reason for the incident, if it is too strict, it will inevitably be said that he Liu Bei is in power.

What's more, now it is his own general Guan Yu who is trying to defend the plains. In any case, you have to take care of Guan Yu's face. The most important thing is that deep in Liu Bei's heart, he still adheres to the spirit of the rule of law, and feels that although this person is extremely evil, it is not a death penalty. It's easy to kill someone, but it's even harder to connect someone's head again.

And in Gaotang County, the officials and officials of the He family have basically been cleaned, which can be regarded as a bad breath to the people who have been bullied by the He family. So before Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei to come, he ordered him to act cheaply and not to implicate him too much.

In any case, this incident still shocked the gentry and officials of Qingzhou. The people were pleasantly surprised. And the local clans are jealous. As for the majority of officials at the bottom, they are trembling, working harder and more carefully, and no one knows whether they have the eyes of the state pastor behind them.

Liu Bei's effect is the same. He didn't have the energy or the manpower to manage the vast countryside. But his rule depends on these people. This time, the chicken was killed to show the monkey. With the He Zhi incident in front of them, I think they also have the consciousness to restrain the greed in their hearts. In addition, people are sent to inspect from time to time, and the news is kept smooth from the bottom up, Liu Bei is confident that as long as the policy is implemented in place, the majority of Qingzhou people will inevitably return to their hearts. These people are the foundation for him to gain a long-term foothold in Qingzhou.

Autumn and August, the month of the case. During the Han Dynasty, the census was done meticulously. In addition to checking the household registration once a year, the name, place of origin, age, appearance, occupation, etc. are recorded in detail, and the family's assets are also counted. This was used as the basic basis for the work of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court to deal with the people, collect taxes, and promote labor.

In the Han Dynasty, the number of names was called, and the number of people in the name was called Fu. Emperor Jing has an order from time to time, and the men in the world are twenty masters. This means that from then on, adult men will have to take on a series of obligations, such as taxes, military service, and so on.

The August case is also called a person in history. Why is it called counting people, because a kind of endowment of the Han Dynasty is called arithmetic endowment and oral endowment, that is, poll tax.

Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang once had an edict that from the age of 15 to the age of 56, the people should give money, and each person should be counted as 120 yuan, and the name was to govern the treasury of soldiers, chariots and horses. It inherited the military endowment system of the Qin period. The oral endowment is levied on minors between the ages of seven and fourteen, with 20 yuan per person. The calculation of the endowment belongs to the government, and the oral endowment belongs to the emperor's family, which becomes the private money of the Son of Heaven.

This system has been followed for hundreds of years and has a strong policy character. The imperial court and the Son of Heaven will increase or decrease the amount of money according to the changes of the times. And then in different goals, the money is not the same. For example, the law stipulates that the Jia person and the slave maid are counted as two people, which is to restrain the merchant and the slave owner; It is also stipulated that if a woman does not marry after the age of fifteen, the amount of money will increase with each additional year, in order to encourage childbearing; There are also ...... specifically for ethnic minorities Basically, there is more time to decrease, and less time to increase. However, when it came to Emperor Ling, Emperor Ling was a good man, and he was very undisciplined to include a one-year-old child in the scope of oral endowment. Then when Nangong caught fire that year, he issued an edict to add forty ...... to the people of the world This kind of thing was also done when Emperor Xiaowu of Han Shizong was fighting. However, Emperor Xiaowu also began to march from the age of three......

In the later period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were bandits raging in Qingzhou from time to time, although the case ratio was not completely interrupted, but it was also intermittent, and the data was extremely incomplete.

In this case, Liu Bei was determined to take advantage of the situation of granting the field order to thoroughly investigate the land of the people in Qingzhou. Of course, in order to lure the people to the greatest extent, they no longer hide the population. Liu Bei also prepared a super killer. Presumably, in the face of this temptation, no one can resist it.

And as long as this decree is implemented, I am afraid that in the future, Liu Bei will want to leave, and the people of Qingzhou will cry and shout and hug his thigh and beg him to stay.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but chuckle. Yes, the insight into the general trend of the future makes him bold and dares to do what others dare not do. In terms of domineering and military strategy, he is not as good as Cao Cao; In terms of specific administration and practical materials, he is not as good as Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang. But so what? Just in terms of vision, who can surpass him in this world? That's enough! What's more, he has a benevolent heart.

In the council hall, everyone sat in two rows. Liu Bei glanced at the people below and was satisfied. On the left are Xun Yu, Jian Yong, Lu Min, Cui Yan, Sun Qian, and Guo Yuan; On the right are Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Yan Yan, Liu Ke, and Tai Shici. With such a team, Liu Bei was finally able to confidently say that he had a lot of talents under his account. At this time in the second year of Chuping, Yuan Shao had not yet entered Jizhou, Cao Cao was still in Dongjun as the Taishou, and Sun Jian was just a pawn of Yuan Shu. Who can compare to him?

Liu Bei was thinking wildly, Xun Yu interrupted Liu Bei with a remark, and let him come back to his senses: "Lord, summon me and other civil and military forces here today, I don't know what the lord commands?" ”

Liu Beilang said with a smile: "I summoned you here today to discuss a matter. I want to promulgate a new policy in Qingzhou, ordering people under the age of 14 to be exempt from money. What do you think? ”

As soon as this statement came out, it was like a shock. Looking at the prefectures and counties, there has always been only a tax increase, and the owner of his own family is good, first he received the ownerless barren land and the official land for free, and now he wants to pay money free of mouth, what is this trying to do?

Cui Yan was the first to speak out against it: "My lord, this matter is not appropriate, not to mention how the court and the princes of the world reacted as soon as this order came out." It is my Qingzhou Pastoral Mansion, and the financial resources will not be able to supply it. ”

When Cui Yan first arrived, he was entrusted with the important task of being in charge of Qingzhou Mincao. While doing his best, he also has a very thorough understanding of Qingzhou's finances. Qingzhou is now registered with more than 1.8 million Dingkou, including hundreds of thousands of people under the age of 14, 20 yuan per person, how much money do you get this year?

And this endowment is theoretically the private money of the Son of Heaven. Now, like other princes in the world, he can make excuses that there are constant bandits on the road, and he can't supply the imperial family. But this is just a temporary excuse, the Qingzhou Pastoral Government has embezzled the money, but this account still has to be recorded. In the future, the Han Haiqing River Yan will be returned, and this money will not be returned to the Son of Heaven?

How did Cui Yan know that since then, the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the imperial court have rarely received taxes from the princes of the divided side. The princes embezzled the money, most of which was used for military expenses. If this were not the case, how could Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in history be subject to Cao Cao. The soldiers and horses that the emperor did not have direct control over were part of the reason, but what was the most direct reason? It's that the emperor has no money, think about it, an emperor can't even support himself, and his subordinates have to go to Cao Cao to receive salaries, so it's not a strange thing for hundreds of officials to look at Cao Cao a little.

The military generals headed by Huang Zhong did not say a word, no matter what taxes were exempted, as long as the military salaries continued and the military expenses were not reduced, they had nothing to say. I don't understand it anyway. Just listen quietly.

Liu Bei nodded at Cui Yan and said with a smile: "Ji Qi is very worried, do you have any different opinions?" ”

Liu Bei likes to be reasonable, he has never been a person who likes to engage in a word.
