Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1273 The leeks are cut again and again

   "Huang Aiqing, how do I treat you?" Liu Xie looked at Huang Xian and said the words that the superiors have often said for thousands of years.

  Huang Xian bowed his hands solemnly and said: "Your Majesty treats my ministers very kindly! I can't repay one of them even if I die!"

"Loyalty and loyalty, I am very relieved." Liu Xie nodded, then glanced at Fu Wan, then at Huang Xian, and said slowly, "Marquis Wen is loyal to the government and wants to share the country's worries. This is a good deed." Also, there are people who are attached to power and position, are jealous of the virtuous and capable, and block the way..."

"What's more, there are people who only know the orders of the private sect, but not the laws of the court... I am ashamed of my ancestors..." Liu Xie looked at Huang Xian, his tone was very calm, but with an extremely firm taste Said, "Now I want to revive the government and take control of the state affairs. I don't know if the two lovers are willing to help me?"

  After all the words have been said, what else can Huang Xian say, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "This minister is willing to serve His Majesty!"

  Liu Xie slapped the table and said loudly: "Good! In ancient times, there were stolen amulets to save Zhao, and now there are Aiqing who protect the country. They are all loyal and brave men!" After finishing speaking, he gestured to Fu Wan.

Seeing that Huang Xian agreed, Fu Wan explained the previous plan on the sidelines. Naturally, there was nothing wrong with Huang Xian. He took the Jieyue token from Liu Xie with both hands, bowed down immediately, exited the hall, and took Fu The remaining ten guards and his ten subordinates hurried to Hulao Pass.

  Fu Wan watched Huang Xian's figure gradually disappear, and suddenly said softly: "Your Majesty, under Zhengxi, there are so many people... It is said that Zhengxi canonized Liu Dan and Liu Xiuwen as the governor of Yizhou..."

   After a while, Liu Xie suddenly sighed and said: "Although the world is big, there are many outstanding people, why are they not used by me?"

   "Your Majesty... Zhengxi should be loyal to the imperial court..." Fu Wan rolled his eyes and said, "It's just that under Zhengxi's command, it is inevitable that people will have different opinions..."

   "I know..." Liu Xie waved his hand, and after a long silence, he said, "The loyalty to Zhengxi is not loyal to me..."

   "Your Majesty's intention..." Fu Wan frowned and said, "So, Zheng Xi is not a loyal minister?"

The emperor Liu Xie narrowed his eyes, his face showed some disappointment, he subconsciously stroked the dragon chair under him, and said: "Hehe, Zhengxi is a loyal minister, but... his loyalty is loyal to the Dahan Sheji..." After so many years , Liu Xie is in the palace, and he has no political troubles, nor is he decadent. Basically, most of the time is spent thinking about all kinds of things in the past few years.

The loyalty of General Zhengxi is naturally not a big problem, otherwise Liu Xie would not be able to leave and join the North so easily, but in the same way, General Zhengxi's actions are beyond his original scope of authority , This is also what Liu Xie worries and worries about.

   "Aiqing, the court is in danger now, I can only rely on Aiqing to work hard, and when the attack is successful, I will definitely reward you!" Liu Xie looked at Fu Wan and said in a gentle tone.

   Fu Wan seemed to be moved, his voice was a little trembling, and he kowtowed and said: "The old minister should be ashamed of His Majesty!"

"Aiqing is my own family, so why should I be more polite?" Liu Xie stepped forward to help Fuwan up, and said, "Nowadays is an extraordinary time, and I won't keep Aiqing any longer...Aiqing needs to pay more attention to matters outside the palace. ..."

Fu Wan repeatedly agreed, and then Liu Xie said that he would send Fu Wan off. Fu Wan hurriedly declined, and walked out of the hall backwards. After walking a few steps, he looked back and saw Liu Xie still standing at the door of the hall and looking at him with a smile , I couldn't help feeling hot in my heart, and hurriedly bowed to Liu Xie again, and Fang left.

   Liu Xie watched Fu Wan go away, and couldn't help looking up at the sky.

  Such monotonous and repetitive scenery is what he sees most often. It seems that no matter whether it is in Chang'an or Luoyang, it will always be such a piece of sky, as if a little more space is a luxury.

The repression in his teenage years allowed Liu Xie to learn to read his words without a teacher. Of course, he could see Fu Wan's fear of Fei Qian, General Zhengxi, and his weakness under Yang's shadow. How can it be?

   Liu Xie can only use these people now...

   Now, Liu Xie gradually understands his father's pain back then. At that time, his father Han Lingdi, because Liu Xie was young, sometimes completely put down his mask in front of him, and sometimes he would mutter and complain to himself.

   Yes, father.

  The court needs checks and balances. Once this kind of check and balance is broken, no matter which side is dominant, there will definitely be an emperor among the unlucky people. Moreover, the more powerful the minister, the less he can put all his hopes on the so-called "loyalty", because no matter how loyal the minister is on the surface, when his life and power are threatened, he will inevitably do some bizarre things. things come.

  Whether it's a relative or Qingliu.

all the same.

  Including General Fei Qian who conquered the West.

  This world is huge...

  Liu Xie still remembered what Fei Qian said. Liu Xie believes that this is Fei Qian's sincere words, and Liu Xie also feels that Fei Qian really wants to fight outside and make the Quartet surrender. The key is that Fei Qian is also doing the same. On Yinshan, Liu Xie confirmed at this point. From this point of view, General Fei Qian of Zhengxi is indeed a loyal minister of the great man.

   But in the same way, this kind of Fei Qian is a new military meritorious service, the meritorious service of the big man, not his Liu Xie.

  Military meritorious service is valuable, hehe, what is the root of military meritorious service? It is to send troops to fight, only to fight, and to fight non-stop, military meritorious service will have more power and more titles, but wealth is always limited, how can it be possible to fight without limit?

  If on that day, Fei Qian can no longer fight, is too old, or cannot support the court's taxes, then what will happen in the future?

  So Liu Xie needs to check and balance, just like Lu Bu needs to check and balance Yang Biao now, he also needs to take the responsibility of checking and balancing Fei Qian. Of course, whether he can do it well is one thing...

  As for Fu Wan's loyalty, although it may not be much, but Fu Wan's relative is attached to Liu Xie. If Liu Xie is ruined, the identity of Fu Wan's relative is worthless. So after the canonization of Empress Fu, the Fu family was bound together with Liu Xie. From this aspect, Liu Xie believed that Fu would finish.

   "Your Majesty... Fragrance, sachet..." The **** of the Huangmen, who Liu Xie sent to take the so-called sachet, ran over panting, and offered the sachet that Empress Fu had "hardly found" with both hands.

"Hey..." Liu Xie reached out to take it, glanced at it, and said casually, "Why is it so slow, people have left to take it? Really...let me put it here first, and give it to Fu Aiqing next time, Let's go down..." This Yang's eyeliner left in the palace, let's keep it for now, anyway, I have endured it for so long, and I don't care if I endure it for a few more days, when Lu Bu enters Luoyang, Liu Xie doesn't mind Randomly install a crime and take it out to make an example to others...

  ………………

   It is not only Liu Xie who is waiting to kill chickens and monkeys. Pang Tong in Guanzhong is already a little itchy. The so-called land declaration this time was actually Pang Tong's strategy to beat the Guanzhong gentry again.

Guanzhong people still have some arrogance of Guanzhong people. Although the Sanfu area of ​​Chang'an, which was once the capital of the Han Dynasty, is now politically and economically loyal to the east, the prosperity and superior regional psychological advantages of the past do not mean that you can let go of it. Yes, so when Fei Qian became the new master of Guanzhong, many people were still convinced.

   Fei Qian is General Zhengxi and Marquis of Pingyang, but the official appointment is over. As for the Hussar General listed in the Sanfu area, that is just a joke and cannot be counted. Although it is true that General Zhengxi can open a mansion in Chang'an, it is still far beyond his original authority to hold all the military and political power in the entire Northwest, Bingbei, including Hanzhong.

Although Fei Qian appointed his own people to hold the important official positions of Sanfu, anyone with a little sense would know that until later generations in China, the battle between dragons crossing the river and local snakes will always be a never-fading theme in the officialdom However, if Pang Tong and others really want to establish a foothold in the Sanfu area, it is not enough to rely solely on military strength. They must also have some administrative skills.

Now the whole world is in turmoil, and the powers of various states and counties are different. The biggest one is naturally the two Yuan brothers. Although the two of them are not in harmony, no one knows if the two Yuans will merge into one one day. Regardless of whether it is human or financial resources, I am afraid that they are quite a formidable opponent.

  Fei Qian must stabilize the three assistants as soon as possible, strive to integrate the north and the south, and attack the east and west, so as to have the capital to expand in the next step. In the past few years in Bingbei, they first fought against the barbarians, then went back and forth to serve the king, and then fought against Guanzhong, Hanzhong, and Longyou. After a series of wars, not only the personnel, but also the logistics and food reserves also suffered a lot. To restore production and resettle refugees and Montenegrin people, land tax has become the top priority.

  The Juetian system was implemented in Bingbei last year and achieved good results. This shows that the new land system has achieved the expected goals and can play a role in stimulating economic growth, controlling land mergers, increasing taxes and stabilizing the people.

  Pang Tong doesn't know anything about economics, but step by step to implement the plan that Lu Shanxia sat down with Fei Qian, Xu Shu and others to discuss and discuss, it made Pang Tong feel a brand new life goal.

  Pang Tong stared at Tian Shi who was in the hall, showing some smiles.

  One month is either slow or fast. After the net is cast, it is naturally time to catch it.

  Balingtian's family is one of the fish that is neither big nor small. Around Baling, there are nearly 300 mu of land, and there are more than ten commercial properties in Baling, plus several properties in Chang'an City. up.

"The Balingtian family disregarded the laws of the country, forged documents, increased the land for personal gain, and bullied men and women, insulted the market, and caused people to commit murder..." Pang Tong said a lot of crimes, and then took He patted it out of breath, and slapped it on the table with a "snap", and there was a loud noise, "Are you convicted?!"

  Pang Tong looked solemn, but his body under the lenient official uniform trembled secretly.

Mrs. Tian was also trembling, but he was frightened, and he stammered after gathering his composure: "I am wronged... I am wronged, I am wronged! The villain is not guilty, I am not guilty! I am wronged, I am wronged!" Although Tian's age is not too young, he is not one of those old-fashioned old-fashioned people who do countless psychological constructions for himself every day, and can tell lies with a cheeky face and deny his relatives. How can he not panic suddenly? For a while, I couldn't find the right words to refute the accusation against myself, so I just subconsciously cried out that I was wronged.

"Injustice?" Pang Tong laughed twice, patted a pile of documents on the table, and said, "Ba Lingtian's original land is 320 acres, and the title deed documents are all here! And this a..."

Pang Tong triumphantly patted another document, and said: "Folk land property is based on the contract. You took advantage of the fire in the pavilion to falsely report the acres of land and invaded the mountains and forests, and you still want to deny it? But when buying and selling land properties, you should follow the example Paying taxes at the price and marking the land deeds are ignorant and foolish people. They may write more and less, or trade for better ones, or hide them in vain. They are nothing more than trying to save taxes. Once discovered, they will be punished according to the law and their deed property should be pursued. Half of them enter the government! The laws are strict and the law will not be lenient! If you have the power to buy a property, why should you defy the law!"

Tian choked for a moment, turned to look at Wei Duan subconsciously, but saw Wei Duan sitting on one side motionless, his heart sank, then turned his head to look at Du Ji, but saw Du Ji seemed to be Gently nodding his head...

   "Small... villain, villain plead guilty, plead guilty..." Mrs. Tian kowtowed and couldn't help crying. It was really heartbreaking. In a blink of an eye, most of the family property was gone like this. Can it not hurt?

"... Oh? Pleaded guilty?" Pang Tong just raised his air clap, but Tian pleaded guilty, curled his lips, and clapped it down with a "snap", then looked at Wei Duan and Du Ji who were sitting beside him, Said, "Will the two of you worry about the follow-up?"

   Wei Duan and Du Ji quickly stood up, cupped their hands and said, "Respectfully send off Mr. Pang."

"Yeah." Pang Tong stood up, flicked his sleeves, looked at Tian Shi, and walked back shyly, while speaking to someone, "Hey, showing off your cleverness is ultimately a mistake." I also..."

   "Congratulations to Mr. Pang!"

When Pang Tong really left, Wei Duan and Du Ji gave way to each other, and sat down side by side on the table at the top, and Tian, ​​who was at the bottom, said eagerly: "Brother Wei, Brother Du, we are both from the same hometown. For the neighbor's sake, save the younger brother!"

"Save you?" Wei Duan subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch the breath, but he didn't lift it up. Instead, he pressed the breath and stared at Tian and said, "Didn't someone warn you before? He didn't wake up again when he handed in the documents." What about you? How did you say it in the end? Only now do you want to ask someone to save you?"

Du Ji also said on the side: "Mr. Pang left the table just because of the injustice between the two of us, and to save you a chance of life. Otherwise, Mr. Pang will commit many crimes in court, and you will definitely go bankrupt. Ding can be beheaded or exiled, female relatives or slaves or maidservants! Now, after paying the punishment of copper and gold, the family members can still be preserved, which is also a great kindness! Think twice!"

  Ba Lingtian's body was limp, with sweat dripping from his head, and soon there were more tears. He fell to the ground and cried loudly: "A plead guilty, plead guilty..."

"That's it, come!" Wei Duan picked up the ink pen, wrote some words on the document, then clipped it on the signature, threw it down, and said, "With the signature, the Tian family will hand over 160 acres of land and confiscate it to the public. Medium! Fine copper...a fine of three thousand taels! After the delivery is over, you can go home! Take it away!"

Because of the corruption of the five baht coin, and after Zheng Xifei came here for a while, the economic behavior of promoting the gold standard to replace the copper coin system has also won the support of most merchants and nobles. After all, gold and silver are indeed innate. The top is currency, so the Guanzhong Sanfu area followed after Binbei, and gradually began to use gold and silver as the target, especially gold for legal standard goods transactions.

After the soldiers and servants on both sides dragged the limp Tian family down, Wei Duan and Du Ji looked at each other, couldn't help sighing in unison, then took a deep breath, turned their heads and said to the outside of the hall: " Come on! Bring the next..."
