Chapter 0466 - Very Skinny Reality
The most important thing is whether this Quanzhou court can play the role of dominating the prefectures and counties of the world, and the key depends on the money and grain of Jizhou. Without the support of strong financial endowments, let alone let the world's states and counties gather in Jingcong, even their own survival is a problem.
Although Han Fu himself was unwilling to give up the military administration of Jizhou, and the eldest princess, Liu Yu and others also kept silent, the ministers saw this matter in their eyes and understood it very well. Considering the overall situation, the powers of all parties must ask for similarities while reserving differences, so everyone also discussed in private, and no one publicly accused Han Fu.
The power that the court should have obtained was obtained, and then it was to set up the government and conquer the subordinates.
There are old ministers Ding Gong, Chen Ji, and Lu Zhi in the eldest princess's mansion, Zhang Fan and Xing Hao in the former eldest princess's mansion, Kou Zhun, Tian Feng, Chen Qun, and Zhong Xuan in the former hussar general's mansion, Liu Fang in the former Taifu mansion, and Huang Yue and Ma Feng in the former Jizhou mansion.
There are old ministers such as Zhang Wen, Cui Lie, Ma Riyan, and Yuan Peng in the Taifu Mansion, Wei You, Sun Jin, and Zhang Yi in the original Taifu Mansion, Xun Chen, Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Xun Yan, Xun Yue and other Peng subordinates in the former Hussar General's Mansion, and Wu Liang, Yuan Hong, Hu Gan and other Peng subordinates in the original Jizhou Mansion. Together, there are about 60 people in the thirteen Cao Peng genera.
The Hussar General's Mansion is engaged in Peng's subordinates because a part of the Eldest Princess's Mansion and the Taifu Mansion have been transferred to supplement the Eldest Princess's Mansion and the Taifu Mansion, so the personnel are relatively small, but now the Hussar General no longer needs to deal with the military and political affairs of Northern Xinjiang, and it is not a big problem to have fewer personnel.
The Imperial Historical Mansion was presided over by Han Fu, the old minister Yang Biao and Xi Wei of the former Hussar General's Mansion were deputies, and Li Li of the former Jizhou Mansion was subordinate to Peng, as well as other officials of the former Imperial Historical Mansion.
Considering that Han Fu had to stay in Yecheng most of the time to preside over the military administration of Jizhou, the daily affairs of the imperial history were mainly represented by Yang Biao. Putting the world-famous Yang Biao under Han Fu can be regarded as giving Han Fu enough face.
The ministers of the Quanzhou court thought so, but what did Han Fu think? It can be seen from the melancholy on his face recently that he is very dissatisfied and lost.
Jizhou is so important to the Quanzhou Imperial Court, as the pastor of Jizhou, he was squeezed out of the core of power. Of course, Han Fu was not happy.
In the Dong Alliance, he Han Fu became Yuan Shao's subordinate, and he could only obey his words. In the Quanzhou court, although he was nominally at the end of the three dukes, his power was not as good as that of the Taifu Mansion.
Could it be that I, Han, am honest and easy to deceive?
………………
December of the first year of the first peace of the Han Dynasty (190 AD).
On the sixth day of December, a grand ceremony was held in Quanzhou for the eldest princess to act as the agent of state affairs. The eldest princess issued an edict to the world with the mandate of the Son of Heaven, and the Quanzhou Imperial Court was established.
On the seventh day of the first month, the eldest princess led the ministers to worship the Temple of the High Emperor and the Temple of the Emperor Shizu, which are located on the top of the north mountain of Jicheng.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the eldest princess presided over the first court meeting of the Quanzhou court.
The court meeting was held in the most luxurious tent of the Eldest Princess's Mansion. The ministers of the Great Han Kingdom felt very fresh and full of interest.
The ministers once persuaded the eldest princess to move to Jicheng. set up the court in Jicheng, but the eldest princess refused. The eldest princess couldn't say anything, she just didn't do it.
Zhang Wen later explained to the ministers with a smile that Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Shizu of the Great Han Kingdom were very poor when they led the establishment of the dynasty, and it was normal to discuss state affairs in the big tent. It is a good thing that the eldest princess imitates her ancestors and discusses in the big tent. This allows us to remind ourselves at all times that the society is still in danger, and the common people are still in a catastrophe. We should govern the country frugally and work day and night in an attempt to stabilize the society at an early date.
The main theme of the deliberations was to counter the rebellion, to fight against Dong, to diligently promote the king, and to revitalize the community.
Taifu Liu Yu put forward three strategies to revitalize the society.
One strategy was to mobilize the main force of the northern Xinjiang army to Luoyang, and the imperial court immediately moved to Kyoto. In order to quickly restore the imperial court's control over the prefectures and counties, and strive to stabilize all territories except Western Xinjiang and Guanzhong in the shortest possible time.
The second strategy was to pacify the Black Mountain and the Baibo Yellow Turban Army and completely quell the rebellion.
The third strategy is to strive to restore the national strength a little within two to three years, and then use the strength of the whole country to win against King Dong Qin. Capture Guanzhong, rescue the Son of Heaven, and revitalize Sheji.
The first court meeting of the Quanzhou court ended with a hopeful laughter.
………………
Taifu Mansion.
Taifu Liu Yu was very appreciative of the eldest princess's reluctance to move to Jicheng. Now the country is in danger. Northern Xinjiang is poor, the people are hungry and cold, where is the money to build a palace? Of course, you have to save it. Whether or not the revitalization of Sheji does not depend on the luxurious palace, but on the concerted efforts of the ministers and the bloody battles of the soldiers. If the Quanzhou Imperial Court in the tent can save Sheji, it will not be a thing that will leave a name in history.
The extreme scarcity of wealth was an urgent need to be solved by the Quanzhou Imperial Court. To this end, Taifu Liu Yu summoned Ding Gong, Chen Ji, and Lu Zhi of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, Han Fu and Yang Biao of the Imperial History Mansion, and Zhao Qi of the General Mansion, who guarded Tian Zhonglang's Mansion, to gather in the Taifu Mansion to discuss matters.
A group of old ministers sat together, recalling the past years in Luoyang, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
There is indeed much to be remembered about the years that have passed. When everyone chatted, they were very happy and happy, but when they got down to business, they immediately talked and swords, and the previous harmonious atmosphere disappeared.
Jizhou has not paid taxes for two consecutive years. In the past two years, only some counties along the Yellow River in Jizhou have suffered a little disaster and war, which can basically be regarded as a bumper harvest. Most of the displaced people in Jizhou were driven to northern Xinjiang and Youzhou, and the relief was very limited, although last year's hussar general expedition to Saiwai, this year's Dong Alliance attacked Luoyang, Jizhou provided a large amount of money and grain, but the money and grain provided by Jizhou was limited. According to the estimates of Liu Yu, Yuan Peng and others, Jizhou should pay at least one billion dollars in taxes to the imperial court in the past two years.
Yuan Peng used to be a big farmer and was very clear about this matter, so he proposed that Jizhou should immediately pay taxes to the Quanzhou court, at least for one year, that is, 500 million yuan in taxes.
Han Fu's attitude surprised everyone, and he vetoed it. Han Fu said that Jizhou had no money, and all the taxes were used.
Liu Yu and Yuan Peng immediately refuted, and the two of them wrenched their fingers to settle accounts for him, and after calculating, deducting what Han Fu said, Jizhou still has at least six or seven billion financial surpluses.
Han Fu resolutely refused to admit that Jizhou had so much money, and said that the 300 million money allocated by the imperial court to Northern Xinjiang for relief had already been promised by the hussar general.
Yuan Peng was very angry, saying that you didn't give the relief allocated by the imperial court to Northern Xinjiang and Youzhou last year, and you didn't give it this year, so where did the taxes in Jizhou go? Also, the hussar general promised not to ask for that money because the hussar general was anxious to move the victims to the north through Jizhou at that time, and he had no choice but to agree to you. Now the hussar general has returned all the military and political affairs of northern Xinjiang to the imperial court, and now the imperial court is asking you for money, not only do you not give it, but use the hussar general as a shield, what do you mean?
When Yuan Kui asked Han Fu to serve as the pastor of Jizhou, Yuan Fu also strongly agreed, who knew that Han Fu, who now holds great power, would ignore the Quanzhou court and ignore the authority of their old ministers. Yuan Peng was angry and took the case.
The other ministers were also very surprised by Han Fu's attitude, and they all made accusations, but only Lu Zhi sat quietly and was silent.
In the past, in Luoyang, Han Fu was just a scholar of Shangshutai, and compared with these old ministers at the level of three princes and nine secretaries here, there was a difference of 108,000 miles in terms of power and official rank. The old ministers always thought that Han Fu would respect the eldest princess and the Quanzhou court, and would obey his orders, but who knew that it would be such a result.
It is not Li Yi who hinders the revitalization of the great cause of social development, but Han Fu, who they trust and rest assured the most. This made them unacceptable, and their faces were embarrassed, and their words gradually became snarky.
In the face of the coercion of these well-known state ministers, coupled with Yuan Fan's constant mention of Yuan Kui, Han Fu felt guilty and had to tell the truth, Jizhou Pastoral Mansion did not have so many taxes, and fifty percent of Jizhou's taxes were controlled by Yuan Shao.
Jizhou has nine counties, the largest being Bohai County. When Bohai County had the largest population, it used to reach more than 1.5 million, and its tax revenue has always accounted for about 20% of Jizhou's total taxes. Since the Yellow Turban Army uprising in the first year of Zhongping (184 AD), the six counties of Zhongshan, Changshan, Julu, Zhao, Weijun and Ganling have been subjected to repeated battles because of their proximity to Taihang Mountain, and only the three counties of Bohai, Hejian and Anping have survived and have been safe and sound. Therefore, in recent years, Jizhou's taxes have mainly been provided by the three eastern counties of Jizhou, Bohai.
Taifu Yuan Kui was very aware of the importance of Jizhou to Dong Daye, in order to ensure that Dong Daye could be under the absolute control of Yuan Valve, he arranged for Han Fu to serve as the pastor of Jizhou, and also replaced the Taishou of the two counties of Bohai and Anping. In order to strive for Yuan Valve's maximum control of Jizhou. After all, Jizhou's pastoral power is too great, and if something goes wrong with Han Fu, it will be difficult to succeed in courting Dong Daye.
However, he was still not at ease with such an arrangement. After Yuan Kui gave up his participation in Shangshu, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered Yuan Shao to serve as the Taishou of Bohai County and Yuan Shu as the general of Bohai County, which was obviously a transaction between Yuan Kui and Dong Zhuo. In order to seek Dong Chenggong and Yuan Valve's own safety, Yuan Kui finally decided to let Yuan Shao personally take charge of Bohai County in Jizhou. In this way, Yuan Valve firmly controlled the two counties of Bohai and Anping in Jizhou, and controlled the lifeblood of Jizhou.
Han Fu carefully explained the reason and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am nominally the pastor of Jizhou, but I actually only control the two counties of Wei County and Qinghe. The prime ministers of the three counties of Julu County, Zhao State and Anping State only listened to Yuan Shao's orders and did not listen to me at all. The two counties of Zhongshan and Changshan are controlled by Sun Zhan, the prime minister of Hejian State, and I can't command it. ”
Liu Yu and the ministers looked at Han Fu with a dejected face, and no one dared to believe that this was true. A dignified Jizhou pastor, who only controls a Wei County and a Ganling country, who would dare to believe it? (To be continued.) )
