Yongning is a year name used by the previous filial piety emperor Liu Zhen.

Liu Zhen reigned for thirteen years, but his influence on the entire dynasty was so lackluster that he became the first emperor to have no temple number since the founding of the New Han Dynasty.

Yongning is his second era name, the reason why he uses this era name is to hope to make the dynasty peaceful forever, accompanied by a rather postural change, and later people call it "Yongning New Deal".

But it was in this year that the eunuch Sun Wei gradually grasped the power, and finally the government suddenly changed, the ministers were dissatisfied, causing the kings to interfere, and the king of the East China Sea and others gradually grasped the authority, from the local king, into the central court, several battles, the clan in charge of the court changed a few, the most recent one, is the king of Guanghan replaced the king of the East China Sea.

The current chaos in the DPRK and China is also related to the change of power like a marquee, and the source of everything can really be traced back to the first year of Yongning

Of course, Su Liao will not be unfamiliar with these things, and when he heard Chen Zhi's words, he nodded and agreed: "It is also the first year of Yongning, and Zhao Xu, the assassin of Yizhou, was killed by Li Te, and the signs of the rebellion in Shu began, and Li Xiong, who now occupies Shu land, is the son of Li Te. ”

"These are actually mostly appearances," Chen Zhi said: "There have been rebellions in all dynasties, that is, in the heyday of the former Han Dynasty, there were sporadic rebellions in the local area, and some even affected a large number of states, but in the end they were all settled, because the foundation of the dynasty was not shaken, and the first year of Yongning was the beginning of the foundation shaking, starting from the New Deal!" ”

When Su Liao heard this, he couldn't help but concentrate, he also heard about the Yongning New Deal, but later heard that the New Deal was over, so he didn't focus on it, and he really didn't know much about the specific content, but after listening to Chen Zhi's solemnity, he realized that this matter was probably not so simple.

"The more ordinary things seem to be, the more likely they are to have far-reaching impacts, because it is this kind of ordinariness that lowers people's vigilance," Chen Zhi said first, and then said: "Emperor Xuanwu unified the north and the south, and his prestige was like the sky, and this rebuilding of Shenzhou was the foundation, so he wanted to divide the land again, but because he saw the danger of shaking the foundation, he had to stop and retreat and compromise, but he also left some tails, nothing more than wanting to move again in the future." ”

Speaking of this, he showed a little sigh: "It's just that when the north and the south were just unified, the family had not yet stood firm after all, and the prestige could temporarily overwhelm the tradition that had always been there, and after a long time, this condition would be gone, even if it was with the eloquence and military strategy of Emperor Xuanwu, he did not have the courage to complete it at the beginning, even if he left a back hand, but in the end he could not use it, so he could only let it go, let alone Emperor Xiaoxi?" ”

When Su Liao heard this, he frowned and said, "I don't know much about Yongning's new policy, but I also heard that the original intention of this time was to sort out the land in the world and divide the crowd. ”

"Yes," Chen Zhi nodded, "But this division also clarifies the status of the family, and it is divided into three groups of people, two of which do not need to pay taxes, the first class is of course the family with rural products, and the second is the customer who is attached to the family, and the third is ordinary cloth, in the case that the first two groups of people do not need to pay taxes, what do you say is the mood of the third group, and how much pressure is there?" What choice will be made in the end? ”

"Since most of them will choose to be attached to the big family," the twists and turns in this, of course, Su Liao is clear, "Buyi can't climb the wealthy family, but the customers of the painting department, attached to the big family, can also be exempted from taxes and labor, and the choice in this is not asked." ”

"Did you know?" Chen Zhi suddenly laughed, "There is a division and constraint between these three groups of people, and what kind of situation is formulated by the law, it cannot be easily crossed from one group of people to another, after all, this is a new law that involves the safety of the entire dynasty, and they will inevitably imagine all kinds of unfavorable environments, but when people are imagining, they will always ignore a key factor." ”

Su Liao suddenly cheered up and asked, "Dare to ask the lord, what did you ignore?" Although this matter seems to be Chen Zhi telling history, it is a Chinese tradition to use history as a mirror, and Su Liao is now in charge of the secret spy department, and he also wants to avoid detours.

Chen Zhi looked at him and spit out a word-

"People!"

Su Liao was immediately confused, but immediately thought of some details that Chen Zhi often mentioned in the past, as if a lightning bolt flashed in his mind, and he instantly became clear.

Sure enough, I listened to Chen Zhi next: "Everything, in the end, is done by people, what is seen is the executor, and what is seen is also the origin of the executor, because what is on paper must be done by someone to make it come true, but the question is, who are these people?" ”

Su Liao also figured out the key at this time, and said: "This can be an official, but they are all people from the world, that is, the children of the poor family, and they are often attached to the high-ranking families, so people are all over the government and the court from top to bottom, let them carry it out, how can there be a result that is unfavorable to themselves." ”

"Yes," Chen Zhi also nodded, "After Emperor Xuanwu, the majesty of the imperial court was not enough, the law could not be implemented, and the so-called law of restricting fields became an ornament, and the consequence of this is that there are fewer and fewer people who really provide taxes to the imperial court, which is the root of the turmoil. ”

Su Liao nodded, and then thought of the situation in this Dai County, and his heart moved, so he asked, "Could it be that this is the reason for the great increase in the income of the Dai County?" ”

"It shouldn't be said that it is a big increase," Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes, "To be precise, it is restoring the original income." ”

"What do you mean?" As soon as Su Liao heard this, he suddenly realized why Chen Zhi wanted to tell these words to himself.

"On behalf of the county government, the income in the tax, in fact, is decreasing year by year, oh, there are two years because of the war, it is a plummet, it is only in the second year that it has improved, and the root of this is that in the past two years of war, several major families have taken the opportunity to gather a lot of people, some of them don't even talk about the basic rules, and they are directly included in their own roster, the predecessor is too obedient to let it go, but it does not mean that the people of these families are clean and clean, I now let people clean up, check through, and immediately find the problem, so that they can give in, The tenants who had been forcibly accepted were not immediately returned, and it was also because both the tenants and the family were accustomed to it that they did not take strong measures. ”?
