Chapter 725 Empress Wu Lie 71

Sun Ce walked to his mother and knelt down, his eyes fixed on his mother's flying fingers.It was for Ah Shao to reward him for sleeping with his sister obediently every afternoon.

"Aniang, since when did your son do whatever he wanted? As big as Ah Shao?"

Although Wu Guotai was looking down at the work in hand seriously with her head down, the smile on her face made Sun Ce inexplicably want to ask himself what it was like when he was a child, when he was as old as Ashao.

"I really don't know if you ever have a time when you can do whatever you want."

"So, Auntie, the rules you mentioned are not a problem for my son. It is the fact that all the land in the plan will be taken into the hands of the royal family, which will cause the landed gentry and nobles, and even people like Lu Meng. Might be against my son."

Sun Ce said it lightly, but the light in his eyes and the distortion of his tightly grasped net all reflected his inner unrest.

After Wu Guotai collected the last thread, he pulled the zipper out of Sun Ce's hand, adjusted the shape carefully, and blamed Sun Ce.

"Look at you being picked up. After a while, Ah Shao will be unhappy when he washes up."

Sun Ce said awkwardly, "My son didn't mean it either. Does Ah Shao understand this now?"

"Why don't you understand. Ah Mian's love these days is all chosen by him. Da Qiao can't wear what he chooses. I don't know who he resembles with this domineering temperament."

Sun Ce watched his mother complain that Ashao was domineering, but he couldn't hide the affection in his tone.Then he laughed and joked, "It must be like me, Aunt."

Wu Guotai smiled.

"Bo Fu, it is said that the rules of the harem should be established from you. You, Aunt, did not miss people later."

"Auntie, I understand this. I remember the embarrassment Ding made Auntie and the pain in my heart. I don't want Ah Shao to experience what I did back then. You have to trust me, Auntie."

"Okay. Aunt believed you. So you have to live well before Ah Shao became an adult. The Ling Emperor died at 33, and the Shao Emperor was poisoned at the age of 15. Your Ah Weng was killed at the age of 35. You were injured when you attacked Ruo Rong. "

Wu Guotai stopped and looked at Sun Ce without saying a word.

"Aniang, didn't my son just join the army at that time. He was not qualified not to lead the army. You see, I didn't lead the army this time."

"In the midst of strategizing,"

"Decisive victory thousands of miles away. My son remembers it. I won't charge forward again. My son is already learning the way of employing people from Emperor Han Tai/Zu Gao."

"As you said that Lu Meng and other upstarts will oppose you, the chances of it appearing are not high. Since you raised your troops, you have not given land to go down. There is no need to worry about Soochow. There are not many fields. The difficulty lies in Jingzhou."

"That's right, Liu Qi's surrender should not have been accepted in the first place." Sun Ce patted his forehead, "It's better to hit hard."

"That's natural. But no matter how difficult it is, you have to keep going. The world is in chaos once in hundreds of years. Not to mention Xia, Shang and Zhou, it is the Han Dynasty. The time of the Han Dynasty was similar to that of Emperor Tai/Zu Gao who first established the Han Dynasty. It was around 200 years ago, and almost 200 years later.

If you think about your death in battle, and everything you gained by risking your life in the past ten years, it will be wiped out in 200 years, and then your descendants will have to risk being poisoned, held hostage, and have no dignity at all. risk, you'll feel it's worth it. "

Wu Guotai gave Sun Ce an in-depth analysis of the later period of Emperor Liu Shi of the Han and Yuan Dynasties. Due to the prevalence of land annexation, the decline of imperial power (centralization), and the increasingly irreconcilable contradictions between officials and gentry, self-cultivating farmers, and tenants who lost their land, it finally led to the Western Han Dynasty. A history of decline.

As for eunuchs making trouble and foreign relatives in power, it is easy to solve.

Sun Ce nodded deeply, "Mother, my son understands. When I was in Jiangdong in the past, what my son told me was in my heart, and I would not be afraid of the opposition of the gentry and not do it.

There are red eyebrows in the front and yellow scarves in the back. When such a thing happens, it sounds the death knell of the imperial family.If the quantity limit of Da Sima Shidan is adopted now, will it be possible to avoid land annexation? "

"That is to leave loopholes for the emergence of hidden fields and hidden households in the future. Not only will it take a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to check, but in the end the officials and officials still can't find out. Think about the land we received in Jiangdong. That's one out of ten. No matter what you do now, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong will support you, and tomorrow I will persuade Xun Wenruo to treat the whole territory of Yizhou as Jiangdong."

Sun Ce smiled happily, "If Xun Wenruo knows that the county magistrates sent to Zangcang County, Fuling County, Badong, Brazil, Bajun County and other places have already started land registration and leasing, it will be like reading the "Government Minutes of the Governor" today." It's the same. A Niang, if he sees the prefect, Fan Ling and other business rules and assessment forms, he should be even more surprised."

Wu Guotai just smiled slightly. Those things contained the essence of a lot of practical experience in later generations. If he was not surprised, he would be surprised.

Ah Shao was washed back clean and white, and Sun Ce stretched out his hands to hold his son in his arms, took the cloth towel from the servant girl and wiped his hair for him, urging him.

"Sleep with Grandma and don't wet the bed."

Ah Shao was not convinced, "Ah Weng, I don't wet the bed."

Wu Guotai reached out and hugged Ah Shao, "Bo Fu, you go back. Remember to tell Da Qiao that I will send Ah Shao there first when I go ahead tomorrow, so that she doesn't have to come here in the morning."

"Okay. Mom, then I'll go back first, and you should rest early."

"Well, go."

When Wu Guotai was pregnant with Ah Mian, she took Ah Shao by her side to take care of her.After Da Qiao got rid of confinement, Wu Guotai sent Ah Shao back to them.For Ah Shao's good, he had to grow up beside his father.It's just that Ah Shao couldn't bear to part with his grandmother, so in the end he came to stay for one night every five days.

"Guotai, the hot water is ready." The servant girl came over to remind her.

"Okay. Ah Shao, stay in the tent obediently and don't come out. I'll tell you a story when Grandma comes back from taking a bath."

Wu Guotai stuffed Ah Shao into the tent and covered him with a quilt.

"Grandma tells cats about fishing."

"it is good."

As expected by Sun Ce and Wu Guotai, Xun Yu was stunned by the tax policy of the areas where Sun Ce's power reached.All the land was collected under the name of Sun Ce, and the people leased the number of acres to be cultivated according to their own population and ability, and only had to pay [-]% of the land rent, and then there were no other taxes or corvees to bear.

Let Xun Yu say from his heart, okay, okay!The burden on the common people has been greatly reduced.The more land you lease, the more you pay, and the more you have left.

Of course, Sun Ce got more.

Who is the loser - the clan, officials, and gentry who did not need to pay taxes in the past and were eligible for tax exemption.

"Can this work?" Xun Yu frowned and asked the senior leaders of Soochow who were present.

Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "Soochow has implemented it for several years, and you have seen the results."

"Zigang, Zibu, what about the fields under your name?"

Zhang Hong spread his hands, "Zibu and I will take the lead to follow Bofu."

"Wen Ruo, if you look at the short-term interests, Zigang and I are at a disadvantage. But in the long run, as Guotai said, if the descendants are capable, what's the use of keeping the land; if the descendants are not capable, it will be impossible to keep it It is better to let the children and grandchildren study literature and martial arts as hard as Zhongmou and Shubi, and earn food and clothing with their own ability."

Xun Yu's fathers and ancestors were all famous figures in the court, and his brothers were also all brilliant and talented men.As for his son and his nephew, Xun Yu dared to say that it would not be difficult for them to find a county magistrate in Jiangdong.

He himself immediately accepted such a land policy.

"Wuhou, Guotai, I have the same attitude towards this policy as Zibu and Zigang. I am just worried that I will encounter resistance from the local aristocratic clan in Yizhou."

"So I asked Gongjin to attack Yizhou slowly. After conquering a county, the land registration and lease of each county should be completed. No matter how many troops Liu Zhang has, the local people will learn from our land policy and official education. If he gains benefits and sees hope, his army will not follow him for long."

"If this decree can be continued, it will make the people of the world safe and secure, and there will be no root seedlings for trouble. Well, there is one more thing, Guotai. Yesterday Marquis Wu told me about the method to prevent the recurrence of foreign relatives' dictatorship. Please give me advice."

Wu Guotai smiled, "Foreign relatives only inherit vassal ranks, and have no real positions and powers. They are cast into the legal code like the eldest son inheritance system."

This actually put an end to the possibility of foreign relatives' dictatorship.But Xun Yu asked unwillingly: "What if there is a young emperor ascending the throne at a young age?"

"The Sangong Jiuqing and the Empress Dowager jointly lead the Minister Gu Ming. When the young emperor is full, he will return to the emperor."

Sun Ce spoke word by word, and then burst out laughing.

"Wen Ruo, the sons of the Sun family are all highly skilled in martial arts. If I don't open up the harem from here on, the descendants of the future will not be like the Liu family's children, who have been washed away in the pile of fat and powder in the inner palace. My mother also has A remark, 60-year-old Zen position and son. But it's too early to say."

Knowing that Sun Ce was a very decisive person, Xun Yu thought that there were only one son and one daughter born to the Qiao family in his inner court, and then he thought about Emperor Ling's harem and Cao Cao's many sons and daughters, he stood up and bowed down to Sun Ce.

"Yu is willing to go through fire and water for the Lord's words."

Sun Ce quickly returned the gift and helped Xun Yu up.

"Wen Ruo, you see I can do this."

Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when Xun Yu recognized his master. The reason is that there is a shortage of talents, especially talented people like Xun Yu.The two hurriedly took out the same materials prepared for Wu Jing, Xu Kun, and Sun Shao, and took out a copy for Xun Yu to study before taking office, and asked Xun Yu to sign on the receipt of the materials.

Sun Ce explained: "Jingzhou was attached to Liu Biao after Liu Biao's death, so the decree over there is different from these places. After Xuzhou is stable and the people are relocated to Xuzhou, we will talk about changing Jingzhou."

Xun Yu nodded and understood Sun Ce's plan in seconds. It was a way to draw the bottom line from the bottom line for the aristocratic families in Jingzhou, so that those aristocratic families would have empty fields and no one to cultivate them.

Enough!

At noon, Sun Ce made an exception and did not have a working meal in front, and followed Wu Guotai back to the inner house.

"Auntie, I even brought Tai Shici back from Xuzhou to accompany him to Yizhou. Look at how thoughtful I was for him. Xun Wenruo also said that he would go through fire and water for what I said."

Sun Ce was very wronged.

Wu Guotai looked at Sun Ce who was acting like this, and comforted him while laughing.

"It's good to be able to do this. You should be glad that although he is a loyal courtier of the Han Dynasty, what he values ​​in his heart is a gentleman of the people of the world, not a rotten Confucian with rigid thinking."

"What A Niang said is true. A Niang, the Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao that Mr. Shui Jing mentioned, I saw him break the formation last year, and I thought he was a talented person. I don't know if I can invite him to Jiangdong."

Wu Guotai put his finger on Sun Ce's forehead.

"I heard that the man's behavior is unrestrained, even if he comes, you won't like it. He is the person who behaves like Cao Mengde, so he doesn't care about his character. Let me tell you, Bo Fu, anyone who likes women, is greedy Property cannot restrain your behavior, and people with flawed morals, you have to think about using them in the future. Otherwise, even if those people are the head of a county, they will exchange their public power for their own favor."

"I will send someone to monitor."

"There are thousands of days who are thieves, how can there be thousands of days to prevent thieves. It is better to rely on the system than to rely on human supervision, regular assessment, rotation of the area of ​​work, irregular visits, just like you lead the army, like A Niang manages this house. Do the same."

Sun Ce nodded again and again, in order to achieve long-term peace and stability, the foundation cannot be corroded by people with flawed morality.Since A Niang said that Guo Jia is unrestrained, don't worry about it, otherwise it will be more troublesome to bring Zhongmou into trouble.

The author has something to say: During the reign of Emperor Ai of the Western Han Dynasty, Da Sima Shidan proposed to limit the number of nobles and rich people occupying land and slaves in view of the phenomenon that the rich and rich officials and people were exiled by tens of thousands at that time, and the poor and weak became more and more impoverished.Prime Minister Kong Guang and Da Sikong He Wu put forward detailed measures: from princes and kings to officials and common people, the land property should not exceed 200 hectares at most; the number of servants and servants owned by princes and kings should not exceed 100, and princes and princesses should not exceed 30 There are no more than 50 people in Guanneihou, officials and people; rich merchants and big businessmen are not allowed to be officials or own land property; those who have land property and slaves and maidservants exceeding the above limit will be confiscated as officials; officials and slaves who are over [-] years old can be exempted from becoming concubines. people.

It's a good idea, but the imperial power has lost its power, touched too many interest groups, and finally became a dead letter.
