Chapter 662

Although Cao Cao showed an impetuous posture, and once increased troops in the plain country and Taishan County, and had the posture of fighting on both sides, according to Jia Xu's judgment, Cao Cao would not send troops.

"Don't worry, general. Cao mengde is extremely intelligent and capable of judging the situation. He will not send troops at this moment."

Jia Xu analyzed: "first of all, our army won the battle of Yecheng, with a small victory over many, the military power shocked the world. Even if Cao Cao wanted to fight with our army, he would not be at this time, but would choose another opportunity."

"But, Mr. Wenhe." One side of Zhao Yun worried: "didn't Cao Cao just support the establishment of Shao di? Today, the morale of Cao's army is very high, and the people all over the world are very critical of the coexistence of the two emperors. "

Zhao Yun Junxiu's face is a little deep. Originally, he went to Liu Ye and served the imperial court very well. However, the coexistence of the two emperors made him confused for a moment.

"Ha ha, the coexistence of the two emperors may have some influence on the hearts of the people in the world, but it has little effect on the generals and men." Jia Xu explained: "all the soldiers of Liangzhou army fight for the imperial court. The general's flag points to the front of our army. Therefore, the coexistence of the two emperors will not damage the morale."

"Well..." Liu Ye frowned, looked at Xun you, and asked, "Gongda, how much food and grass our army consumes, do you still have spare power to fight?"

"Report to the general." Xun you replied: "after the war, our army has consumed more than 100000 stones of grain and grass. In addition, our army has injured more than 10000 soldiers and soldiers. They need to be compensated and recruit new soldiers. In the future, they will also spend 80000 to 100000 stones of military grain. Over the years, the cumulative consumption will exceed 200000 stones."

"What's more, the general has promised to exempt Jizhou's citizens from half of their grain and forage for three years, which should also be included."

After being beaten up by Liu Ye that day, Xun you suddenly woke up. Therefore, he just worked for the imperial court in silence and continued to sit on the Shangshu platform.

"Well, the pensions for the dead must be handed out, and there must be no omission." Liu Ye solemnly said: "the officials at all levels must not deduct anything from the pensions of the soldiers and soldiers killed in battle, otherwise they will be killed!"

The reason why Liu Ye was able to shock the whole world and the princes was that he relied on the invincible army of Liangzhou. In addition to Liu Ye's loyalty to the imperial court, there is also one thing about the army's fighting for the imperial court. When the soldiers have a field, they will naturally fight against the enemy.

Just like the government soldier system of the Tang Dynasty, the army of the Tang Dynasty was so powerful that it set up many prefectures such as Anbei and Anxi, which was inseparable from the government soldier system. Because the Tang army had many fields, it naturally fought bravely to protect its own fields.

And the pension of the officers and soldiers is also an important part of the morale. There are no undead soldiers in the war, even if the army is victorious, there are casualties. If the pension is rich, then the officers and men have no worries and are willing to die.

However, the problem of corruption among the officials is also very serious. Sometimes the Emperor Ming ordered relief to the people, and as a result, layers of exploitation came down. The counties and prefectures made a lot of money, and the county seized one. When the common people had little left, they naturally complained and even rebelled.

The common people revolted and revolted. The emperor did not understand what was going on when he sat on the court. Why did the people still rebel when they ordered relief?

Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Zhao Yun, and many other generals and officers heard this, and they all turned pale.

"What the general said is very true! Our officers and men fight bloody battles for our country. Naturally, we should be heavily subsidized. "

"Yes, the officers and men died for the country. If they even took the money from the dead, would they still be people?"

Xun you saw this, so he took a step forward and bowed down and said, "the general, in order to give orders to the superior, his subordinates suggest to restore the old Pavilion system."

In ancient times, ten li was a pavilion, and the pavilion chief was set up for management. Liu Bang, the emperor of Han Dynasty, was the origin of the pavilion chief. The pavilion system is more effective in controlling the local government, and can effectively prevent the emperor from going to the countryside.

It was terrible that the emperor's orders could not reach the grassroots level. For example, in the late Ming Dynasty, gentry groups took the place of grass-roots officials to manage the people. As a result, they intensified their efforts to exploit the people. The tax revenue of the imperial court was less and less, and the burden of the people was heavier and heavier. Naturally, people died and the government died.

"The restoration of the pavilion system can, on the one hand, strengthen local order and prevent the flow of people; on the other hand, it can strengthen the upper and lower channels and effectively manage taxes." Xun you is a man of great learning and talent. He has been in the position of shangshuling for many years. Now he is an expert in civil affairs.

"Well, according to Gongda's words." Liu Ye brewing for a long time, slowly said: "in addition to this, this will have a strategy to share with you."

"Please speak up." Xun you and Jia Xu and other humanitarians.

"What do you think of the people who wanted to be exempted from corvee and replaced by money and grain?"

Xun you, Jia Xu, Shi Tao, Meng Wei and others all looked at Liu Ye's words with astonishment. This is really a heavy bomb.

In ancient times, people paid taxes mainly in two ways. One was to serve for the government. For example, in the Qin Dynasty, adult men, namely Ding, had to serve for the government for four months in a year. When they built Lishan mausoleum and the Great Wall for Qin Shihuang, they were all people's corvee.

Hundreds of people, such as Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and so on, who took part in the uprising in daze Township, were the people who were subjected to corvee.The second is to pay money and grain, that is, the so-called imperial grain. Agricultural taxes have not been abolished until modern times.

In ancient times, corvee was a terrible thing for the people. Because the corvee is very hard, and can not be exempted, especially in the Qin Dynasty, who can imagine how many people's bones buried under the towering city wall?

As for Du Fu's works "Xin'an officials" and "shihaoli", it is unnecessary to say that the common people are still sleeping at home, and they are captured by vicious yamen servants as soon as they are asleep.

It was not until the reform of Zhang Juzheng in Ming Dynasty that the corvee was abolished.

"The corvee was hard, and the people suffered a lot." Liu Ye said slowly: "the people can replace the corvee with money and grain, while the governments at all levels recruit people with money and grain to carry out projects."

Shi Tao held his fist and said: "the great general is really a man of virtue. In the past, in order to build the great wall and the tomb of the first emperor in the Qin Dynasty, millions of migrant workers were mobilized. I don't know how many people died in other countries. Instead of corvee, the general could stay at home."

"If the government employs the people, it can adopt an incentive mechanism, and those who have the ability will work harder." Meng Jian, on one side, added: "in this way, people are not allowed to cheat and play tricks. Those who are able to get more and those who are lazy get less, which helps to motivate the people."

Xun you and Jia Xu also praised Liu Ye's policy.

"Well, in addition, our army should also carry out military stationing in Jizhou." Liu Ye ordered: "our army should store grain extensively."
