Three Kingdoms

 Chapter 3045 The old tune with new changes

 In the land east of the river, under the new policy of Hussar, the tenants who were previously hidden by the big families gradually could not hide anymore.

A bachelor's degree in agriculture and a bachelor's degree in engineering may only be around towns and will not go deep into the countryside. After all, whether it is acres of land or water conservancy in the countryside, they are scattered and sparse. Obviously, it is more efficient around towns, but inspections are not Same.

 Huricides or thefts occur more often in the countryside. At first, Fan Xian didn't care about it, thinking that inspections were a good thing. After all, everyone hopes to have a safe and peaceful living environment, and they don't want murders to happen around them every day. So at the beginning, Fan Xian was very concerned about inspections. Welcome, but Fan Xian soon became disgusted with the inspections, because when the inspections went to the countryside, they not only investigated murder cases and caught thieves, but also involved a lot of hidden household registrations and acres!

Then Hedong and other places began to announce that you can receive benefits for giving birth to a child. After the benefits of giving birth to a boy, you can receive wine and sheep, and giving birth to a girl, you can receive cloth and pigs, the hidden people can no longer hide it!

 Because the tenants do not have household registration!

 Seeing that others can receive it, but they cannot receive it because they do not have a household registration, the tenants are unhappy at this time...

The fundamental reason why tenants are willing to consign their acres to large households is because the tax burden on farmers is too heavy.

Although the national tax is 1/30, and the rent tax for many wealthy and powerful households is 1/10, or even 30/40, there are still a large number of homesteaders who are willing to send their acres of land to large households and become tenant farmers of large households.

It’s not that the tenant farmers are stupid, but it’s like the low-rent housing of the later generations of Emperor Mi, which is obviously so cheap...

This economic model of tenant farmers has appeared since the Warring States Period. By the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was clear that tenant farmers could be included in the landlord's household registration. As a corresponding payment for being included in the landlord's household registration, the tenant farmers wanted to regain their freedom. At that time, it became even more difficult. The tenant farmers had to go through procedures such as release and self-redemption before they could leave the landlord's household registration.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the feudal regime had acquiesced in the existence of tenant farmers, and even included them in the national household registration in order to gain more income. As a result, the dependence relationship between tenant farmers and landlords gradually relaxed. Tenant farmers gradually gained certain freedoms to move, farm their land, and withdraw from their tenancy. By the Ming Dynasty, the sharecropping system had become the choice of most farmers, and even contracted sharecropping had been formed.

  It can be said that the development of tenant farmers is accompanied by the advancement of Chinese farming society.

When Feiqian came to Pingyang and started farming, no one thought there was anything wrong. Because Fei Qian could be called a big landowner in Pingyang at that time, all the civilians who farmed the fields were almost tenant farmers under Fei Qian's name.

The big families in Hedong had big surnames, so naturally they didn't notice anything strange. As for the so-called conditions that Fei Qian promised to those farmers, the big families didn't take it seriously, because their ancestors had done similar things, and their ancestors had promised that all the tenant farmers would live a happy life!

 Is it because a big family with a big surname broke their promise?

 It’s not that simple.

The big family will never repent openly, but in the process, the tenants will always encounter some problems of this or that, and if they have this or that difficulty, the big family will lend a helping hand at this time. Lending to tenants at high interest rates…

Then the previous contract needs to be revised?

 So people from Hedong and even the big families in Guanzhong thought that Fei Qian was the same as them, but they didn't expect that Fei Qian was actually playing it real. How could they play?

 This is probably the mentality of these nobles.

 Are there any descendants of the gentry who evolved during this process? It's not that there are no such people, such as Du Ji Liufu and others, but Du Ji Liufu and others will have a very obvious characteristic, that is, the family is still very small, or these people are not the talkers of the family.

The Du family is still very small now, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that it became a common surname, and it is still not comparable to the seven surnames of Qinghe. As for Liu Fu, he basically doesn't have much say in the family, and he also doesn't have much control over interests. Therefore, neither Du Ji nor Liu Fu will oppose Husband's new policy. As for the old gentry system that has taken shape, they are either resisting Fei Qian's new policy, waiting and watching, delaying, or violating it...

 This model has remained basically unchanged even in later generations.

It's like all the supermarkets across the country are cheating and cheating, selling bad products but never good ones, but you are a fat man...

 But what can be said on the surface?

 Study, everyone must study hard!

 It was secretly negotiated that Fatty would never be allowed to open another branch!

This situation will continue with every choice, external competition and internal pressure. There may be new changes, or it may still sink.

Fan Xian felt that this was an opportunity to stand up again and eat meat and drink blood. He was completely unable to understand the benefits of Huaxia's new system that Xiongqi said. He just knew that his interests had been reduced as a result, especially the windfall that he could have obtained, but now all was cut off. This makes Fan Xian feel heartbroken every time he thinks about it. The more he thinks about it, the angrier he becomes, and the angrier he becomes, the more unbearable he becomes.

In fact, if Fan Xian stops here, he will still be a rich man. At least he is much better than the average farmer, and he can be considered to have a good family background. But after all, we are used to windfalls, and we are used to spending lavishly. If you go back, you will never be able to go back no matter what...

 The opportunity has come now.

 Invitation from a bigger, better and more familiar platform, can’t I get on it, can I go?

With a God’s perspective, of course I know that the National Army will not be able to wait for 1949, but if we really ask the National Army in 1949, how many of them can predict the general trend of the world?

In Fan Xian's mind, the new laws and regulations in Husband's place made it difficult for him to be invaded by the sun and the moon, but the old laws and old covenants in Shandong were the place where he could be like a fish in water and be at ease!

 Hedong can only be Hedong for Hedong people!

So if you want to get rid of the Fei Qian Group that has eroded the rights and interests of the Hedong people, Shandong Cao Jun is a natural ally!

Now that allies are asking for invitations, is there any reason why they should not respond?

 …

 …

 What is loyalty?

 Can I eat or drink?

 But with a name of loyalty on his lips, he can always eat and drink.

The same is true for corrupt scholars, and the same is true for libertines.

 In the winter of the eighth year of Taixing, in December.

Although Cao Cao has marched into Hangu, it seems to be still relatively far away for the people in Hedong. Many people still live according to their original habits, but with more things to talk about, just like future generations talking about the battles that took place on the other side of the global village. After sighing, they still do what they should do.

For most people, they cannot understand or think clearly about the fight between Fei Qian and Cao Cao, let alone the difference between the new system and the old system. The only thing they can understand is, It's just whether there are one or two more pieces of meat in the bowl. You can't drink a bowl of thin wine during the Chinese New Year.

 As a whole, Hedong is relatively stable.

  The reason why it is said to be relative is because now there are also some refugees pouring into Hedong one after another.

 When there is war, there will inevitably be refugees.

These refugees not only made the people in Hedong feel nervous, but also gave rise to some hidden joy. The reason is very simple, just like Lao She's description in the teahouse. Seeing others selling their children and daughters, but even though I am in embarrassment, I can sit down and drink a bowl of high broken eggs. Isn't this happiness just reflected in the contrast...

 Honest people will only shake their heads and sigh, but cunning people think this is the best opportunity!

Normally, Fan Xian would not dare to do anything because he knew that his every move would be watched by someone, with strict laws and patrols. But now, isn't this an opportunity?

　　Back when Fei Qian went to clean up the dissolute rangers in Guanzhong, some of them had reformed their evil ways, but the other part of them...

 Fan Xian took in such people. And they were taken in when these people were in the most difficult times and their situation was the most miserable. So when these people saw Fan Xian, who didn't give a thumbs up to praise Fan Xianyi and Bo Yuntian?

The more brothers you have, the greater your power will be and the more your expenses will be.

But Fan Xian is still generous, and his money is like running water. If someone has some difficulties, he just takes out the money without saying a word. This style is like a timely rain in the Han Dynasty, and it has gained a lot of fame. Even Everyone knows that Fan Xian is a "good guy" and would greet him politely when meeting him.

Of course, everyone will guess privately, what kind of wealth does this Fan Xian have that can lead to such a waste of money?

After thinking about it and guessing, most people don’t have accurate information, so they just keep talking...

Today, Fan Xian "lost his family" again.

He set up a banquet, killing sheep and dolphins, and feasting. The banquet was spread out from the main hall of the courtyard and along the corridor to the door. Whether the people coming and going were acquainted or not, as long as they were willing to come forward and say something to Fan Xian With a few auspicious words, you can go to the cake steaming place nearby and get two grain cakes. Those who have some friendship with Fan Xian can enter the hall and enter the courtyard to drink and eat meat.

 For a serious treat, one must be notified at least three days in advance. If it is not announced until the end, it is not called a treat, but called a treat.

However, it is obvious that Fan Xian's subordinates don't care much whether it is a treat or a meal. Anyway, as long as there is food and wine to eat and drink, there will be no problem, and they can make a meal every day.

Some rangers and libertines used their thick clothes as money changers because they had no food or wine for a while. They pretended to be tough even though they were wearing single clothes. As a result, they slapped their thighs now, saying that they really regretted it. If they had known that Fan Xian would treat him, After all, I have to stay up for a few more days, so I can pawned my own clothes later. Wouldn’t it mean that I can eat for a while longer?

Among the libertines, there were also some clever ones. When they saw Fan Xian coming back from the door to greet the guests, they laughed and raised the wine bowl and asked directly, "Mr. Fan!" Is there anything you need help with? 』

To build such a large battle, if we don’t explain it clearly, we won’t be able to survive even if we eat meat and wine... ‘That’s right! Fan Dalang, just say it! Even if I have to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will lose in the blink of an eye! 』

 In the blink of an eye, you lose, you lose. Is it possible that no one has ever lost in this life...

 The loyalty of a rogue and a libertine?

 Why do knight-errant libertines like to brag about someone's loyalty, or spread the word about someone's loyalty?

Fan Xian also smiled and did not immediately tell the reason for the banquet. Instead, he raised his wine bowl and made a toast first, then stood in the courtyard and looked around, "Everyone!" Everyone! 』

 ‘Everyone is quiet, Mr. Fan is about to speak! 』

　　『Wang Gouzi, shut up! Close them all! 』

The scene gradually became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Fan Xian.

　　　　Everyone! Fan Xian smiled, raised his face, and stood under the sun, "As people from Hedong, we were born and raised here. Now that Hedong is in trouble, shouldn't we do our part?" 』

Everyone looked at each other in shock, and then suddenly someone in the corner shouted, "Should!" 』

The rest of the people seemed to have just understood, and they all agreed.

Fan Xian smiled, pressed his hands, and then waited until his voice became quieter again, then said: "Nowadays, there are wars and refugees in the surrounding area, and the place is always inconvenient. This is the time for loyal people like us to serve!" I decided to disperse my family wealth, provide comfort to the refugees, be loyal to the Qiusi, and work hard for the peace, stability, happiness and harmony of the Han Dynasty! 』

　　Everybody stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

The scene was silent.

After a while, someone asked tentatively, "This... Fan Langjun, what you said... is... is it true?" 』

Fan Xian smiled and said, "It's absolutely true!" 』

 The courtyard suddenly erupted into chaos!

Some people are saying that this is a good idea, while others are against it. For a while, almost everyone is arguing and arguing.

Fan Xian stood in the courtyard, smiling, drinking wine slowly, and then slowly scanning the past one by one...

 …

 …

 What exactly is an ally?

 Different people have different opinions.

What Zhu Zhi thinks of as an ally is probably when your jungler is developing and can't resist the line. When you're resisting the line, you'll sneak away to the jungle. When you need to advance, you go home to buy a blade. When you scold him. He is also scolding you...

  As long as the allies are reliable, sows will climb trees.

 So why have allies?

 Because an alliance is a kind of agreement, an agreement where each other agrees not to eat each other's flesh and blood for the time being.

 It’s just that this order is still temporary and will always be temporary.

 Zhu Zhi didn’t believe Cao Jun at all, and he didn’t think Cao Ren was sincere in giving up Jiangling. If there was no Jiangdong Navy, what kind of sincerity would Cao Ren have?

　　『Jiangdong is the Jiangdong of Jiangdong people! Zhu Zhi sneered, "For Jiangdong's plan, Jiangling must be taken!" Without Jiangling, Jiangdong would be a place where people would be choked! 』

Yes, Jiangling is located in the upper reaches of Jiangdong. Whoever occupies Jiangling will have geographical advantages. Therefore, Jiangdong’s desire to acquire Jiangling is very strong, but that’s where it ends.

 Jiangdong is almost unwilling to develop further north.

If they can attack Xiangyang and then march northward to Xu County, the Jiangdong people may still be interested in taking a walk. But if they go up from the Lianghuai area, bypass the Qingxu land, and rush to the junction of Jizhou and Yuzhou, this Although it is obviously the weak link of Cao's army, Jiang Dong just has no interest in fighting.

"The land north of the Yangtze River is full of wars and famines. There is not even one out of ten left, and there are no people in the counties and villages..." Zhu Zhi slowly crossed his hand on the map, "The Lord's plans have always been... well... quite sketchy..."

One of the reasons why Zhu Zhi didn't like Sun Quan was that he always felt that Sun Quan was a bit clumsy in his strategies. He just did whatever he thought of, without any planning or feasibility, and he forced his subordinates to do it.

Just like the grand strategy Sun Quan came up with this time, it seems to be extremely grand. He will use his navy to enter Sichuan and Shu, capture Chengdu, then transfer to Hanzhong and go north to Chang'an. The other route is to take advantage of the defeat of both Cao and Fei armies. The next step is to go through the Lujiang River and Huaihe River, the land of Qingxu, bypassing the position of Cao Jun's heavy troops, and go straight into Xu County. In this way, both Cao Jun and Fei Jun will definitely suffer heavy losses when attacked from the rear. Then Sun Quan went on a killing spree and was able to rule the world in one fell swoop!

When Zhu Zhi saw Sun Quan's grand strategy, there was only one thing left to talk about.

Yes, taking advantage of the situation where both Cao Jun and Fei Jun were hurt, it was indeed a very ideal result to take care of both sides. But the question is, will this ideal result really be realized?

"Lianghuai...hehe..." Zhu Zhi shook his head, pushed the map on the table away, then stood up and walked around twice with his hands behind his back, "I originally thought that after going through big events, my lord would be calmer, but now it seems... 』

　　　It is true that the two Huai lands seem empty and can be taken easily, but what happens after they are taken? Zhu Zhi said in a deep voice, "How to resettle the hungry people in Huaihe River and Huaihe River?" There are many wastes in urban and rural areas, and there are many cultivated fields. If it is managed and rebuilt, it will cost a lot of money. If it is ignored, what will be the benefit after occupying the two Huaihe Rivers? If things are like this in Lianghuai, what will Qingxu do? All this without even thinking about it! 』

　　　Who provides the money needed, and who benefits from the gains? "Zhu Zhi said with a sneer, "If the lord still can't see this and can't understand this matter, haha..."

Zhu Zhi sneered, but he did not hide his ridicule towards Sun Quan, "Such a strategy must have not been made by the governor..."

Zhu Ran said from the side: "I heard that the governor... seems to be getting more and more ill..."

 "The Governor..." Zhu Zhi was silent for a long time, "The Governor is a good man..."

 Good people do not live long.

This is not to say that good people have a bad life, but because good people are too easy to live a short life...

“I heard that the Hundred Medical Center can cure the governor’s chronic illness...” Zhu Ran said, “My lord... I have doubts in my heart...”

Zhu Zhi snorted, "If it were you, would you trust the governor to go to Chang'an for treatment?" Or let people from the Hundred Medical Clinic come to Jiangdong to treat the governor? 』

 Zhu Ran was speechless, and after a while he said, "Then Huang Gongfu is over there..."

　　　『The front line is too weak to advance, and now there is chaos in Wuling. Soon we will be unable to support the troops and will have no choice but to retreat! Zhu Zhi sneered, "When the time comes, we go to the front line and come back in despair?" It's better to stay in Jiangling, and then running this place can be a contribution to our Zhu family! And what about the front line, haha..."

Before Zhu Zhi's laughter even hit the ground, he was knocked to pieces by a soldier in panic, "Report!" The governor is here! The Governor...the Governor is here! 』

　　"What are you talking about?" Zhu Ran scolded him dissatisfiedly, and suddenly understood, he turned his head and looked at Zhu Zhi, both of whom saw a look of surprise on the other's face!

"Why is he here? ! ” Zhu Zhi pushed away the messenger, ran outside the door in a few steps, and looked out onto the river.

I saw only a few outlines of the water, and a row of boats came through the waves.

In the middle of the ship, a large scroll with Zhou family written on it was erected on the top of the ship, fluttering in the wind.

A high-pitched voice sounded on the building boat, and spread throughout Jiangling Xinzhai in a blink of an eye, "The Commander-in-Chief is here!" All the generals are welcome! 』
