Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 265 Tianji Camp
The robbery station exists after dealing with bandit troubles. The other two mentioned by Mi Heng can be regarded as a precautionary measure.

The first is, of course, to confiscate civilian lethal weapons.

The so-called folks are nothing more than ordinary people and noble families and gentry.

As for the latter, Wang Zheng, who knew the potential of these powerful families in the Eastern Han Dynasty, always paid attention to it. Under the influence of the above, every time the army attacked a city today, the first thing to do was to force the big families to hand over military weapons such as knives, guns, bows and crossbows. Especially the armor.

The Kaiyang nobles were raided twice in a row because of Wen Chou's siege of the city. Now it may be difficult to find an iron artifact at home.

On the one hand, it is of course minimizing the threat of these unstable factors.

On the other hand, it was also because Wang Zheng's family background was too weak. After coming to Xuzhou, he still had to find excuses to search for enough equipment and weapons for his own army.

Relatively speaking, Wang Zheng didn't pay much attention to ordinary people.

After Mi Heng also discovered this point, she took the initiative to add it.

According to his suggestion, the people of the Han Dynasty are very martial, especially in Xuzhou, a place where there are many battles, ordinary people also have iron rulers, slingshots, and these things, and they must all be confiscated!
Exaggerated, right?
Wang Zhengben was a little hesitant. Isn't this similar to Qin Shihuang gathering the soldiers from all over the world to cast twelve golden men?

But under Mi Hengdi's repeated suggestions, Wang Zheng finally reluctantly agreed.

As for the second article, all counties and counties under the rule must implement the two prohibitions.

One is to strictly prohibit gatherings, and the other is to implement night bans.

The implementation of the night ban and the prohibition of lighting candles at night is the old rule of the Han Dynasty. Naturally, Wang Zheng didn't think there was any problem.

The key lies in the prohibition of gatherings.

Hearing Mi Heng's explanation, not only Wang Zheng, but everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

It turns out that this article is not aimed at the common people, not even the prominent families in various cities, but at an existence that Wang Zheng and others have always ignored.

religion!

At this time, in the great Han Dynasty, the Buddhist religion has not yet been introduced, so it is natural that the Daoist school is the dominant one.

However, compared with the thousands of temples and thousands of temples in Buddhist religion, one patriarch and worship one Buddha, there are many sects within the Taoist sect, and their division standards are even different from those of later generations. , or regional forces to divide (Wudang, Huashan).

Rather, it is divided by academic theory.

The Jishan faction that advertises its merits.

A classic school characterized by belief in a certain classic.

The talisman sect uses peach wood to drive away ghosts and talisman water to cure diseases.

The Divination Sect, which focuses on astrology and divination, and the Danding Sect, which makes alchemy.

In today's world, if it is said that the most powerful and the most believers are the Taiping Dao and the Five Dou Rice Sect.

The two behemoths have been preaching in various regions, but they have lived in peace for many years, because they both belong to the Talisman Sect and have some incense.

But according to Mi Heng's words, Wang Zheng is going to take the lead in representing Taipingdao and tear his face apart!
No playing, hello, hello, hello, everyone!
Without him, in Xuzhou, the Five Dou Rice Sect is too powerful.

Five Dou Rice Sect, since the generation of Zhang Ling (also known as Zhang Daoling), has been preaching in the Bashu area. After decades, Yizhou has become the most powerful state of Wu Dou Rice Sect.

But Xuzhou is also a prefecture where the Five Dou Rice Sect is extremely powerful, because Zhang Ling, the founder of the sect, was born in (Peiguo Fengyi) and was a native of Xuzhou!

Therefore, although there have been many Yellow Turban uprisings in Xuzhou, according to Mi Heng's investigation, in terms of solid foundation, many believers, and folk influence, Taiping Dao is actually not as good as Wudou Rice Sect.

Is this payable?

Mi Heng didn't know that Wang Zheng had never thought of himself as a Daoist of Taiping. He only knew that his lord Zhang Jiao reincarnated and rebelled in the name of the Yellow Turban!

So in the future, if we want to continue to thrive and expand our power, we still have to rely on the way of peace.

The greater the influence of Taiping Dao, the more believers there are, the more stable the foundation of the king's government will be, and the more nutrients will be absorbed from the people in the future!

As a result, Taiping Dao, the base camp in Xuzhou, is not the first sect, so why talk about other places?
Therefore, Mi Heng's second proposal, called the prohibition of gatherings, is actually to suppress all religions in Xuzhou except Taipingdao.

The Five Dou Rice Sect is the first to bear the brunt!
The specific content of the proposal is that in Langya and Pengcheng, except for Taiping Road, any religious gathering must not exceed ten people!

It is even more forbidden to spread Taoism on a large scale, and it is forbidden to publish Taoist scriptures of other sects!
After listening to Mi Heng's eloquent talk, everyone deeply agreed and praised it, but Wang Zheng frowned and fell silent.

Is this the meaning of "abandoning all ways and respecting peace alone"?

Is it too early?
Confucian scholars like Mi Heng don't know it, but he, a traveler, knows it very well.

Aside from Yizhou and Xuzhou, in the eyes of the world, the Five Dou Rice Sect is far less prestigious than the Taiping Dao, but compared to the short-lived Taiping Dao, the Five Dou Rice Sect has lasted for thousands of years, and became the real leader of the Taoist sect after the Song Dynasty. .

Even if its development is less than a hundred years old, its hidden potential may not be lower than that of Taipingdao, right?
At this moment.
Actively provoke each other?
"Strictly prohibiting gatherings and implementing night bans are of course imperative." After thinking for a while, Wang Zheng pondered over and over again, and said in a deep voice: "We inherit Huang Tian's ambition and want to build a heaven on earth. It is also appropriate to vigorously promote the way of peace."

"However, other sects are fine. The Five Dou Rice Sect does not need to be suppressed too much for the time being. It is allowed to gather people to preach, but if there are more than [-] people, it must be reported first if there are any booklets to be printed!"

"Lord."

Mi Heng wanted to persuade, but Wang Zheng cut it off with a wave of his hand, and took the initiative to change the topic: "Sir, are there any people who sell and sing storytelling in the teahouses and brothels in Kaiyang?"

"Brothhouse? Storytelling?" Mi Heng was startled when he heard the words, and then suddenly said:
"The brothel my lord is talking about is Zhangtai? Does the storyteller mean comedians?"

There is a saying in "Han Shu Zhang Chang Biography": "At the end of the court meeting, walk through Mazhangtai Street, and let the imperial officials drive away, so that you can face the horse."

In the Han Dynasty, the largest gathering place of singing girls in Chang'an City was on Zhangtai Street, and later all over the country, Zhangtai was used to refer to these places of fireworks.

"Xunzi Zhenglun": "Today's comedians, dwarves, and prostitutes, those who humiliate but not humiliate, are those who know that humiliation is not humiliating!"

Haiyu refers to the ancient entertainers who were engaged in music, dance and humorous plays, and even the oldest cross talk artist. The most famous comedian in history should be Dongfang Shuo in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Is it so elegant?
Wang Zheng nodded and said, "That's right. From now on, within our sphere of influence, these comedians who sell and sing storytelling can be designated by us!"

Before the others could react, Mi Heng thought for a while and immediately praised: "This strategy is wonderful!"

"My lord, this is the way to control the way of speech. Once the speech is controlled by me, the hearts of the people will also depend on themselves!"

"This policy is related to the lord's foundation, Heng is willing to ask for it!"

"Sir, you are a great talent, so you must do your part." Wang Zheng nodded. Except for Mi Heng, there are not many people under him who can read at this time, and he really can't find a second suitable candidate, but he still reminded him: "But sir, remember, If you want to control speech, the key lies in two words!"

"My lord, please speak clearly," Mi Heng said solemnly, "Heng listens carefully."

"Popular!" Wang Zheng said sternly, "Although the rhetoric of the Book of Songs is gorgeous, and the Ci of Chu is also elegant in rhyme, but in the eyes of most people, the popularity may not be as popular as stories like "Shan Hai Jing"."

"So if you want to control the way of speaking, you need to talk about dramas and stories that the common people like to hear and see, and are interested in listening to and reading! Instead of empty talk poems or boring poems."

"And there are two key points in these stories. First, the myths and stories related to my Taiping Dao and Huang Tian. Second, there are some landlords and tyrants oppressing the common people. The gap between the rich and the poor, class conflicts!"

class?This fresh vocabulary made Mi Heng fall into contemplation, chewing over and over again, thoughtfully.

"Don't worry, sir. Although I have no ink, I have a lot of stories like this in my mind." Wang Zheng looked at Mi Heng with a serious face, and said with a smile: "Let's discuss more next time, work hard together, and get the story out sooner." These words and songs are produced."

"You can't just rely on the comedians in each city." Judging from Mi Heng's reaction, the big man can't say that there are no storytellers at this time, but it is probably an industry that has not yet formed a scale. Wang Zheng thought for a while and added: "From Tianfu Pick some literate and smart people from the battalion and the local army, and then set up a separate battalion, um. Let’s call it the Tianji Camp. It is still a military membership, and all will be managed by the husband, and then all counties and counties in Langya County will be notified to let them Send these comedians and divas to Kaiyang as soon as possible, and let's train together!"

"My lord is talented and intelligent. He thinks about Zhouxiang. Heng is really hard to match." Mi Heng said with admiration: "Since this is the case, our place is safe, so we have to consider farming."

"Heng conducted an investigation yesterday. In fact, there are quite a lot of abandoned fields in Langya County. Heng suggested that we should set up a department to persuade farmers, and set up an envoy to persuade farmers to be responsible for reclamation and cultivation of mulberry in the cities of the two countries. The candidates for the envoy should be Like generals, they can select soldiers with farming background from the army. Transfer to the army and become an official.”

"Wait, there is a lot of barren land?" Wang Zheng interrupted Mi Heng's continuation, and said in surprise: "Langya Kingdom is not as war-torn as Pengcheng. Our army did not attack this place for a long time and did not disturb the people. Why? Will there be wasteland?"

"My lord doesn't know something." Mi Heng was confident, and explained: "The wasteland in Pengcheng is naturally more due to the lack of population and strong men due to the war. If there is land and no one can find it, it will naturally be deserted."

"As for Langya, it's coughing. My lord is too powerful. Although the big families are not leaving much for the time being, some middle and small gentry keep leaving."

"The landlords have run away, how many tenants will still farm?"

"What's more, although our army has never disturbed the people, the reputation of the Yellow Turban. Hehe, how many people can farm the land with peace of mind."

This is the truth.

Cultivated land is not plowed today and harvested tomorrow, plowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, it takes two seasons.

After the land is planted, it is a question of whether it can survive until the autumn harvest; after the autumn harvest, it is a question of whether it can be harvested and stored in the warehouse; after the harvest, excluding the rent and taxes handed over to the landlord and the county, how much can fall into your own hands, Enough to survive?Another problem.

What's more, although the king's government does not disturb the people now, and there is no sudden change in taxation, but at this moment and then, at the time of harvest, he suddenly turns his face, what can the people do about it?

Therefore, persuading farmers to cultivate mulberry fields is not a simple sentence, nor can it be solved by setting up an envoy to persuade farmers.

Under it, Mi Heng listed in detail various countermeasures for various problems that may arise.

Landlords ran away or died, which is easy to solve, including the original Kaiyang official land, private land of prominent families, etc., among them, all land that has been deserted for more than one year will be taken into public ownership.

Those who are currently cultivating on unowned land shall be granted land titles and land titles.However, the land of officials and prominent families who surrendered will not be moved for the time being.

In fact, Wang Zheng had already done this in Pengcheng before, but now it is just forming rules and regulations, and he can just follow the rules in the future.

The public land is divided into two parts, [-]% for the poor, [-]% for the meritorious soldiers, and [-]% for the army.In some counties and counties (such as all parts of Pengcheng), there is an extreme shortage of young men and young adults, and the land can't be divided up. They stay to attract refugees. If there are refugees who settle down, the first year's rent will be exempted.Landlords who fled and wished to migrate back within the first year had to cultivate first.

As for the taxation of the great Han, if we only talk about the tax, it is actually very light, it is "three taxes and one".

The big head is still on Fu.

The Han Dynasty has a calculation tax, that is, the household registration tax. In the Western Han Dynasty, from the age of 15 to 56 years old, the annual income of 40 yuan per head for 120 years was calculated as one. Businessmen, slaves and maidservants had to pay even more, and women were from 15-30. If you don't marry at the age, it will count as five.

And now in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, counting Fu is exaggerated to the point that it starts from one year old!
This is the biggest mountain that weighs on the people.

What's more terrible is that the calculation of Fu is to collect money, not directly collect grain, which gives the opportunity to the noble family and gentry, and they have the final say on how much a piece of grain is worth!

According to Mi Heng's suggestion, since the land is not big now, there is no need to formulate a too elaborate taxation system, just adapt to local conditions.

Langya and Pengcheng are currently occupied by Wangzheng. The rich and poor are different. When the territory expands in the future, there will be even more differences. It is not suitable to continue to levy according to the proportion of the Han system. It can be formulated separately in each county. If Pengcheng is poorer, it can be set according to the Two liters per mu are collected, and Langya is richer, so it is collected at four liters.

As for the calculation of Fu, it is still necessary to continue to levy, after all, it is necessary to hedge against the waste of Kubing's chariots and horses.

But there is no need to use money as a unit anymore, and it is an opportunity for the powerful to take advantage of. Anyway, Wang Zheng will continue to recruit soldiers after collecting money. It is better to collect goods directly, and collect cotton, rice, copper and iron and other useful objects on a household basis. .

"This..." Although this move seemed reasonable, Wang Zheng still had some discretion.

Others are fine, only Pengcheng and Langya are treated differently.
After all, he also grasped the human nature of "not suffering from poverty and inequality" when he started the incident. The so-called don't do to others what you don't want to do to others. Now that he is doing the same thing, will it cause internal conflicts?
"Sir," Wang Zheng said hesitantly, "won't it be the case that both Langya and Pengcheng are expropriated at the rate of one mu and two liters?"

"My lord, absolutely not." Mi Heng said seriously:

"Pengcheng is the gate of our army, and Langya is the warehouse of our army. If the tax here is too low, where will the money and food come from, and where will the soldiers and horses come from?"

"As soon as this regulation comes out, you can't act rashly in a short period of time, otherwise it will be more likely to cause resentment among the people, so Langya must not be like Pengcheng!"

"Okay then." Wang Zheng knew that what Mi Heng said was also reasonable, so he reluctantly agreed.

However, Mi Heng said again: "Besides, all the seeds, cattle, and agricultural tools, Heng also suggested that we collect them uniformly, and then distribute them to each household. Maybe it will be more effective."

"Every household?" Wang Zheng thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's too cumbersome."

"Then it's better to make a hundred households into one commune, and put them under the jurisdiction of local farmers' envoys. Centralize cattle, farm tools, and seeds, and plan to allocate them. If there are any shortages, you can apply to Kaiyang or Pengcheng, and supplement them as appropriate."

"This club is called a cooperative, how about it?"

Hearing this, both Mi Heng and Yu Jin's eyes lit up.

Yu Jin managed Kaiyang for a long time, and he also gained some experience, so he added:
"The general's strategy is very good. At the end of the day, the general thinks that it is not limited to farming and farming, but also business travel."

"In troubled times, there are fewer merchants, and the distribution of grain, oil, cloth and salt is far less than before. Not only are they scarce, but prices are not uniform."

"Wouldn't it be better for our army to purchase these from various merchants in the future, distribute them to cooperatives at a uniform price, and then sell them to the common people?"

"Wen Ze's words are good." Wang Zheng was reminded by him, thought of more, and brought up the matter of dividing the land in Pengcheng again, saying:
"In the future, anyone who occupies a city and is willing to serve in the army can first give good land to his family. Military households have the right to give priority to reclaiming unowned wasteland."

Having said that, the other generals finally had the right to speak, and Fu Bo immediately applauded loudly:
"General, this is a good way! You guys won't have to worry about the future, and you will work harder after going to the battlefield!"
