Great victory!

The imperial court quickly spread the good news to the world, and at the same time, the emperor's will to praise the emperor was also announced to the subjects of the world.

The world is jubilant!

“...... , wading into danger, risking arrows and stones, breaking the key passes, inspiring the three armies, expelling Tibet, clearing Liangzhou, I am very comforted,......."

Tang Long read the edict loudly, his tone was full of envy and yearning, the first battle of Liangzhou, the defeat of Tubo, the Jin army recaptured Huangsha Pass, took advantage of the victory to pursue dozens of miles, won tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, the court rewarded meritorious deeds, Qiu Ge was promoted to a partial general, but he was promoted to the commander of the Black Panther, and Fang Da was promoted to the general of Kou, in addition to being promoted, he also rewarded a lot of land and money.

In the classroom, there was a lot of discussion, Liu Han smiled, the process and result of the battle of Liangzhou, he had long known that this was a victory, but it was not a pure victory, and the number of enemies destroyed was far from the tens of thousands as claimed in the edict, at most more than 10,000 people.

However, the situation in Liangzhou is stable, but the Western Regions have become dangerous, and Lao Huang suggested that the business in the Western Regions should be completely ended and everyone should withdraw to the Great Jin.

Liu Han gave up the Western Regions to return to the Great Jin Dynasty, but his influence in the Western Regions was far-reaching, and there were many businesses of all kinds, and when he left, most of the business was over, and a small part was left to be taken care of by his subordinates.

Liu Han replied and agreed, and at the same time told Lao Huang that those who stayed in the Western Regions were willing to go to Dajin and found a way to come over, and if they were unwilling, they would use the money from the transfer of property to settle down.

"Alright, sit down. Liu Han commanded, the room immediately fell silent, Tang Long put down the newspaper, saluted Liu Han slightly, and returned to his seat.

This room was a makeshift classroom, and the eight people sitting below were all the scholars who had come to apply, and after the debate, seven more had been recruited.

According to the plan discussed by Gu Wei and Liu Han, Gu Wei went to the counties to inspect and see the implementation of the new tax system, and Liu Han was responsible for the training of the soldiers who came to apply.

Training, this is a new method, naturally from Liu Han's idea, Gu Wei, not only him, but also this era does not have this awareness.

How can employees go to work without training!

"Everyone has heard the report of the imperial court," Liu Han said: "The problem in Liangzhou is just a small problem, the real problem is outside the northern fortress, this time the king of Taiyuan led the army out of the fortress, a quick battle, is the best, the worst thing is that the war drags on, the court will have to pay a lot of food for this."

What is the war fought for? Taizu said that it is silver and grain, and the current annual tax revenue of the imperial court is only more than 16 million taels of silver, and the military expenditure of the king of Taiyuan will be 7 million taels this time, and there are also the maintenance of the normal operation of the imperial court at all levels, the salaries of the border army, disaster relief, and so on, all of which will cost about 15 million, and simply put, the imperial court's deficit this year is more than 3 million. ”

"Shen Fu, don't laugh," Liu Han shook his head at a young man who was a little rich, this young man's name was Shen Fu, his family was in business, he had some silver, and he used to study in Guanchao Academy, but he didn't study for a few years.

"This technique comes from numbers, and the court is the same, to calculate the amount of tax revenue and how much to spend every year, just like the sage said, everything is foreseen, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted;"

"The road is simple, what seems complicated, but the truth is actually the same. ”

Liu Han's voice changed: "The new tax system is not a simple tax system, it represents a new management, have you read the booklet for you?"

"I'm done. ”

Liu Han nodded slightly: "Then you discuss how to implement the new tax system, Hongyang, you are responsible for the record." ”

"Yes, sir. Hong Yang agreed, he was a small official, and he didn't have the opportunity to participate in the training, but he didn't expect Liu Han to let him participate too, and also gave him a certain amount of power.

The training was originally presided over by Liu Han, but Liu Han only gave a half-day lecture in the first few days, and then let them discuss it by themselves, and he didn't listen to it on the side, but he had to read the records of each discussion, and then participate in the discussion on the second or third day.

This method is unheard of for these scholars, let alone seen, and some people even accuse Liu Han of dereliction of duty.

Liu Han scoffed at this accusation, and asked them if they had just started enlightenment, and they needed the teacher to explain word by word, and the various laws and regulations of the new tax system were all in the booklet, and they needed to be explained sentence by sentence.

"You see for yourselves, understand for yourselves, think of yourself as the head of a county, govern the four parties, implement the new tax system, what problems will you encounter, how to deal with these problems.

It is not a matter of debating the difficulties of the discussion, but rather of unifying your understanding and fully understanding the difficulties of implementing the new tax system. ”

"I must warn you that the implementation of the new tax system is more difficult than you think. ”

Although the scholars were still a little unconvinced, they did not continue to entangle, in the next few days, they found that Liu Han read their discussion records every day, and knew their thoughts well, initially, what they discussed the first day, the next day had to be re-discussed, of course, the next day's discussion was under Liu Han's auspices.

After a few days of discussion, everyone has become more and more aware of the dangers of the old tax system and the implementation of the new tax system.

Shen Fu put forward a radical point of view, why not simply abolish the Shi clan, this point of view is a bit shocking, the Shi clan Shu civilian slaves, the world has been in the world for many years, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, no one has ever dared to abolish it, even the talented Emperor Taizu did not dare, and it was also made clear in the Taizu system that the royal family and the Shi clan share the world.

This Shen Fu actually proposed to abolish the scholar clan, which is simply a big rebellion, if he said this in the academy, I am afraid that he will be driven out of the academy.

Fortunately, this was a training, and after a few days of discussion, the minds of the scholars were also relaxed, and after two days of discussion on this point, most of them actually agreed.

Liu Han did not give an explanation for this question, but raised another question, if the distinction between shishu and scholars is abolished, what resistance will there be, how will they stop it, and what impact will it cause?

So the scholars discussed for two more days, the more they discussed, the greater the shock, the heavier the weight, the strength of the scholars was already very strong, and the difference between the scholars and the scholars was not to say that they could be abolished.

In the end, it was Liu Han who came to the conclusion that the difference between Shishu and Shushu is a gap, and to fill this gap, it is not achieved overnight, but it needs to work slowly, make soup on a simmer, and walk slowly, and this new tax system is the first step.

No matter how Liu Han started to discuss, at night, Hong Yang would give him the record, and he would naturally know when the time came.

He went to the backyard and shook around, chatted with him for a while, and said that he would win a great victory in Liangzhou and the king of Taiyuan would come out of the stopper, and then he took his leave.

Ju Yu is becoming more and more uneasy now, the new tax system below has been implemented in the following counties, Gu Wei went down to inspect, exchanged letters, there were many problems, several counties were in violation of the law, and they were not implemented at all, Gu Wei was extremely angry.

"How is your training?Can it be used?" Ju Yu was a little less interested, looking at the imperial court's newspaper, the emperor's edict, he was secretly envious in his heart, Duanmu is taking over as the general of Huqiang for a long time, this time he sat in Guzang, nothing was wasted, and he fished out a Guannei Marquis, although this Guannei Marquis is the lowest title, there is no feudal country, but it is a knighthood, and it can be passed on for two generations.

With the success of the new tax system this time, what is the reward of the imperial court? The Marquis of Guan Nei does not need to think about it, it is a reward for military merits, and at most he will earn a reward for his descendants.

"What's the matter, is Master Gu a participant?" Liu Han smiled, sighed, and pointed to the letter on the desk: "Look at it, you will understand." ”

Liu Han didn't read the letter, this situation had been expected a long time ago, these people who were trained were prepared for this, if Lu Yuzhang was honest, he could still leave a little, if he really made a stumbling block in secret, then they would dig their old bottom in Yangzhou County.

This is Gu Wei's plan to tell Liu Han in private, but now there are fewer people to train, according to Gu Wei's plan, a county, in addition to the county order, also has the main record, Gong Cao, Ting Peng, Zhu Bo, county lieutenant, head catcher, and so on. The county lieutenant can be regarded as a military position, but the head catcher is not, and the rest of the main Bo Gong Cao Tingpeng is the main secretary, these are all civil duties, although the grade is low, but it is also a court official position, assisting the county order to take charge of a county's government affairs.

These five people all have to be replaced, at least fifteen people, plus the county guard, how can it be enough for more than twenty people.

"Now it's just the beginning, I think with thunder means, shock, those Xiaoxiao naturally know how to converge. Liu Han said with a smile, he knew Ju Yu's mood very well, this guy wanted benefits, but he was afraid of getting into trouble, and he always suffered from gains and losses.

"Now is the time to compete," Liu Han said, "Your Excellency knows that the imperial court will not allow us to retreat, we can only die and keep going." ”

"That's right. Ju Yi was very bitter in his heart, and regretted it, why did he agree to come to Yangzhou in the first place.

Liu Han saw that he was happy and happy, so he got up and said goodbye.

As usual, after patrolling the Xingyuan, Gu Wei took away a large number of people and horses, and the Xingyuan seemed to be very empty, and there were fewer officers and soldiers patrolling.

After inspecting a circle, Liu Han went out of the line and rode a horse to wander around the city, in fact, this is not a wanderer, he is observing the situation in the city, he still can't fully believe in the city guards, the original captain of the city guards is from the Zhang family, and now he is drawn from the tiger guard, but the people below have not moved much, if someone wants to do something, they can still do it.

Not only did he go to the city every once in a while, but all the internal guards under his command opened their eyes wide, staring at every move in the city.

The city is relatively quiet, the aftermath of the great debate has not completely disappeared, many scholars are still staying in Yangzhou, all the academies in the city have scholars boarding, and there are still many scholars in the Qinglou teahouse.

When passing by Jinse Tower, Liu Han hesitated and did not get off the horse, he remembered the purple smoke, the beauty was deep, and it was difficult to bear.

The last time he went to Jinse Tower, when he left, Ziyan's resentful gaze almost melted his heart.

sighed softly, what is going on, unconsciously, I actually got into a love debt, why didn't I have such a good thing in my previous life.

"Everyone. ”

When Liu Han heard this, he turned his head and saw that it was Shi Kai and Long Zheng.

"Coincidentally, I met two brothers here. Liu Han jumped off the horse and smiled at the two of them.

The two smiled, and Long Zheng said, "Since you met, Brother Liu, it's better to go to the teahouse to talk about it." ”

Liu Han handed the reins to the shopkeeper, followed the two of them upstairs, pushed open the door of the private room, and there was another person in the room who was sitting in front of the window, and when he saw the three of them, the person got up and smiled and saluted.

"Brother Liu, this is Xuzhou Ma Ye Ma Minghui, Brother Ma. Shi Kai introduced.

Liu Han understood in his heart that today was definitely not a chance encounter, maybe they had been looking for him on the street for several days.

"Brother Ma. Liu Han knew this, smiled and clenched his fists, and looked at Ma Ye.

This Ma Ye is not tall, looks very thin, estimated to be in his thirties, the robe is empty on his body, two mustaches, a pair of small eyes, his hair is tied with linen strips, and the linen robe on his body is washed white, looking a little down.

"Everyone. Ma Ye smiled and bowed his hand, and Long Zheng smiled: "Brother Ma is what we just met. ”

"Meeting is fate, and we are all destined people. Liu Han sat down with a smile, and the three of them also sat down, Liu Han asked: "It's been a few days since this debate, and you are still in Yangzhou?"

"This new tax system is related to the world's view, and we want to see more, so we went to Yandu County and Hucheng County to have a look. Shi Kai did not shy away from it, and said directly.

"I've gone to see it, I'm afraid it's not that simple," Liu Han said, "I don't know how you feel?"

Shi Kai and the three of them smiled at each other, Long Zheng smiled, and said, "Let's talk about Brother Ma, Brother Shi and I are still shallow." ”

Liu Han sighed softly, turned his eyes to look at Ma Ye, and said with a smile: "Then there is Brother Lao Ma." ”

Ma Ye smiled slightly and touched his mustache: "Brother Long is too modest, but since Brother Long wants to test me, then I'll talk about it."

Although this new tax system is a pretext for the reform of the tax system, it is actually a structural reform in the 800 years of the Great Jin Dynasty. ”

Liu Han suddenly put away his contempt in his heart, this Ma Ye looks obscene, but he has some ability.

"This reform, the imperial court is forced to do so, the imperial treasury is empty, the tax revenue is getting smaller and smaller year by year, everyone knows that the crux of the problem is there, but no one dares to solve it, why? The king of Shaoyang County is not far away, and even when he is the prince today, he moved slightly, that is, he was almost abolished, and the first emperor protected the prince, but in the end, no one dared to move this idea. ”

"When today, during the prince's reign, he had the ambition to innovate the world, but unfortunately he hit the mold at the beginning, so he hibernate for several years, and his wings were destroyed. ”

"Today's biggest problem is not the Saiwaihu people, but the displaced people, Yangzhou is rich, but there are still tens of thousands of displaced people, and Jizhou and Yongzhou, Qingzhou and other places, the displaced people are as high as millions, and if the problem of displaced people is not solved, it will eventually become a problem for the henchmen of the Great Jin. ”

"To solve these problems, the imperial court must have silver, but now the imperial court has no silver, so he has now introduced a new tax system, which he may have been planning for a long time. ”

Liu Han nodded slightly, this was the same as his and Master Huang's judgment, nothing unusual.

"But, I thought that I was still in a hurry today," Ma Ye's tone changed, and he said seriously: "Just like just now, when I was the crown prince today, I broke a lot and lost all my wings, so when the new tax system is implemented today, there is a shortage of people." ”

Lack of people, this is pertinent, Liu Han feels a little interesting, this Ma Ye seems to be a little really talented.
