Straight man of steel

Chapter 328 Yuanguang Five Years
Late summer and early autumn are not a very good time.

Zhang Yuan doesn't like when summer and autumn alternate, the heat of summer has not yet dissipated, but the cool air of autumn is already oncoming.

The larger temperature difference between day and night made Zhang Yuan accustomed to wearing single clothes during the day, and had to add a second layer of clothes to keep warm at night.

In the summer, all the noise is caused by insects. The chirping of insects and the chirping of birds are the main theme of this world. In autumn, the main theme becomes the harvest.

Guannei is a good place, of course, it has something to do with successive emperors.

The emperors believed that as long as they could see places with their eyes, they should look like the whole world.

The people in the pass can reap the joy of a good harvest, so the people in other counties should also have smiles on their faces at this time.

For this face-saving project, 90.00% of the water conservancy projects in the world are built on the Guannei Plain.

Every big river is connected by artificial canals, and there is no need to bear the risk of the Yellow River breaking its embankment and diverting its course.

Without exception, things will naturally happen smoothly, and this year is another bumper year for the world.

When Liu Che saw the granaries full of food everywhere, he probably thought in his heart that this was all the result of his wise decisions.

But he didn't know that Guanzhong occupied less than one-sixth of the big man's land, one-third of the population, but produced three-fifths of the whole big man's grain.

The granary in the pass was almost overflowing due to the taxes collected, and Hangu Pass was separated from Hangu Pass in Dongjun County, a Henan county, but the grain collected was not enough to fill even one-tenth of the granary.

These grains are all the rations of the common people, but the government still collects them.

Thirty taxes and one, in the past, there was a certain amount of output per mu of land.

The land was distributed to the people, and the officials didn't care what the state of the crops planted on the ground was, they would harvest as much as they should.

In fact, this is not in line with the laws of the Han Dynasty at all. Strictly speaking, there is no fixed amount of one-thirtieth tax, and one-thirtieth of the grain harvested throughout the year is given to the government.

But if it is really necessary to collect grain according to this standard, can the government still receive grain?

When these taxes are reported, can Liu Che let these officials live this year with peace of mind?

Now Chinese New Year is not the Spring Festival, and the new year is the past of autumn, that is to say, it will be a month or two before the next year.

In order to save oneself from suffering and keep the official position, what is the suffering of the common people?
This is not only true of the great Han, but also of every subsequent dynasty.

If you want to prosper, the people who pay the price must be the common people.

Just like the high housing prices in later generations, everyone thinks that it is all caused by real estate developers, and those real estate speculators. In fact, there is no government behind them. Can real estate developers raise the housing prices?

The main reason for the high housing price is the high price of land, and from whom is the land auctioned?
The best way to suppress housing prices is to directly suppress land prices. Without the method of auction bidding, houses can still be more expensive?
Prosperity, people suffer; death, people suffer.

Zhang Yuan looked at the prosperous scene of Du County because of the big harvest, and there was no disturbance in his heart.

However, due to time constraints, he became more and more busy.

When winter comes, it is necessary to get all the lecturers needed in the spring of next year to Taixue.

Let them go through a winter familiarization, and they can get started directly at the beginning of spring.

King Wuqiu Shou did not stay in the Taixue either, but started preparing for the school year exams for county officials a long time ago.

Year-old exams in autumn, preparations in winter, and school starts in spring.

This is the cycle that Zhang Yuan thought in his heart, not only because of business affairs, but also some personal matters that have been bothering Zhang Yuan.

Zhuo Wenjun had already arrived in Lantian a month ago, and went directly to the Zhang Mansion instead of Du County.

Zhang Yuan also came to know about this matter after going back in the middle of Zong Xing.

It was only a few days after knowing the news, that is to say, in more than 20 days, none of the hundreds of people in the Zhang family wanted to come to Du County to tell Zhang Yuan about it.

This made Zhang Yuan a little confused. He wanted to go home and experience the joy of the harvest, but he lost his mind after being messed with like this.

Autumn passed in a blink of an eye, and the big man ushered in the fifth year of Yuanguang under Liu Che's rule.

As soon as October came, the ownership of the position of prime minister finally came to a conclusion.

In the end, the flower fell on Xue Ze, Marquis of Pingji.

Zhang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the news, and history did not deviate too much in the end.

During the past few months, Han Anguo acted as the prime minister and successfully took over everything from Tian Fu.

As a result, his foot was injured somehow, Liu Che changed his mind all of a sudden, and appointed Pingjihou Xue Ze as the prime minister, while Han Anguo stayed at home because of his injured foot.

This news is great news for Zhang Yuan. Now there are only three people riding on Zhang Yuan's neck.

The imperial historian Zhang Ou, the prime minister Xue Ze, and the emperor Liu Che.

Although the other ministers have more power than Zhang Yuan, they have affairs to manage with each other, and they can't control Zhang Yuan.

Now there are only two people in the three kilometers, and the position of Taiwei is still vacant. Now these two people are tool people, and Xue Ze is even worse than Zhang Ou.

In the beginning, when Han Anguo was still the imperial censor, Zhang Yuan had to face the pressure from Tian Fu, Han Anguo, and Liu Che. Although Liu Che is more powerful than before, it is much better to face one person than to face three people. .

As soon as the fifth year of Yuanguang arrived, Zhang Yuan's whole body began to spin.

The prime minister has changed, and the selection of officials can also begin. The number of officials in Taixue has suddenly expanded from the original dozens to more than 300.

At the same time, three censors were settled in, which was the first time in the history of the Han Dynasty.

Dahan now has two supervisory agencies, one bright and the other dark.

The one in the light is naturally the Yushi doctor's mansion, and the one in the dark is Liu Che's personal emissary in embroidered clothes.

When the territory of the Han Dynasty had not been divided into states, the inspector, the governor, naturally did not appear.

Zhang Yuan didn't know why Liu Che did this, but he also guessed a little in his heart. He probably felt that Taixue was making big strides forward now, and was worried that he would be out of his control, so he let Yushi directly settle in Taixue.

There are three censors in the bright place, and I don't know how many embroidered messengers are staring at Taixue in the dark.

Every time he thinks of this, Zhang Yuan feels extremely stable in his heart.

Yes, it is stability.

Most things cannot be told to Liu Che directly, that would appear too scheming.

Let these censors and embroidered clothes messengers tell Liu Che that what Zhang Yuan did will have a much better effect.

Zhang Yuan didn't want to overthrow the rule of the big man, nor did he want to bring down the emperor Liu Che. In his heart, he just wanted to be good for the big man, so that more people would stare at him, and he didn't have to spend time to show his loyalty to Liu Che. How much effort was saved.
