I have a backstage in Datang

"But now in your Goguryeo, the people have not been treated harshly by me."
"Back then, our Han rebels were motivated by the whole people, and countless people willingly went to fight the barbarians with their lives. Some people gave out people, and there was food to give out food. Even if the stomach growled hungry, and gnawed on the bark, they still wanted to kill the enemy. But , We have never robbed any of our compatriots of the living food. Instead, whenever we build a granary, the first thing we do is to open the granary to release the grain, so that the compatriots are full, and even the children have to fight with the barbarians."
"But your so-called restorers hide in the mountains like bandits. When they are short of food, they rob their own clansmen. When they want money, they forcefully conscript their clansmen..."
"But what happened after you robbed food and money? How many rebels really came out to fight?"
Gu Tianya stared straight at the middle-aged scholar like a sharp sword, and said coldly, "Do you still want to argue now, Your Excellency?"
"Do you still dare to use the killing of Hu by us Han people as a metaphor?"
……
It wasn't just middle-aged scholars who fell silent.
An Yanbing and the others also bowed their heads bitterly.
After quite a long while, the middle-aged scholar said bitterly, "Gu Guozhu's move can be said to be a big knife to cut out the heart. I am speechless."
There was no answer to what he said, but he immediately opened his mouth, and even bowed his waist, saluted solemnly, and asked, "What should I do?"
What should be done means what should be done.
Or it could be understood that he was asking Gu Tianya what he was going to do.
This question seems to be out of nowhere, but Gu Tianya smiled slightly and asked him back: "Are you referring to this woman or the rebels?"
This woman, on the surface, means the woman in the house, but on a deeper level, it refers to countless Goguryeo civilians like this woman.
The rebels really refer to the rebels all over Goguryeo.
Gu Tianya's rhetorical question was obviously forcing the other party to make a choice.
The middle-aged scholar raised his head to the sky and let out a long sigh, and suddenly fell to his knees and prostrated himself on the ground. His voice was choked with sobs, and then he burst into tears. He had already been wiped out by Gu Tianya, and now he only had pity for the people of his own clan. , a selection has been made.
He cried loudly: "For the rest of my life, I will work for the lord. Whatever the lord's intention is, it is my responsibility. I only ask the lord to give me a good prescription. What should I, the people of Goguryeo, do?"
Gu Tianya let out a breath slowly.
He looked at the middle-aged scholar crying, and then looked at the woman kneeling on the ground over there. After a while, he slowly said, "In three months, I will establish a country and establish a foundation. The Seven States of Youyun under my command are inherent The foundation. Goguryeo in Liaodong was renamed Goryeo Province..."
He paused while talking, and then said: "The old people in the province are divided into five classes. First, good people, second, obedient people, third, inferior people, fourth, slave people, As for the fifth, it is a sinful people."
"Because of the first six months, Goguryeo failed my benevolent government. Although it is not a crime, it is a mistake. Therefore, the whole people are reduced to inferior people, which is the initial class of all Goguryeo people."
The middle-aged scholar trembled all over.
An Yanbing and the others turned pale.
Inferior people?
The initial class of all Goguryeo people are inferior people!
Fortunately, Gu Tianya went on to say: "Inferior people can be upgraded. There are generally two options available. The first option is for a woman to marry a Han person and be promoted to become an obedient citizen, or even though she is not married to a Han person, she secretly has children with a Han person." , the mother is more expensive than the child, and it can also be upgraded."
He paused while talking, looked at everyone, and said indifferently: "As for the second upgrade method, it is more difficult in comparison. The property tax is [-]%, and it has been for three consecutive years."
The middle-aged scholar only felt the bone-chilling coldness.
The faces of An Yanbing and the others became even paler, and they trembled: "[-]% of the tax will be taxed for three consecutive years. This is forcing men to work hard, while women will do everything possible to make the Han people sleep."
Chapter 452 [The heart is not ruthless, the country is unstable]
Gu Tianya could hear everyone's grief, but he had no intention of softening his heart.
"Besides, there is no good policy. It's not that I am cruel, but I am forced to help. Maybe I will cancel this policy in 20 years, but I must insist on it within 20 years. Otherwise, the Goguryeo people themselves will first Starve myself to death."
He paused while talking, sighed and said again: "Although I set everyone's initial class as an inferior citizen, I left them a channel to be promoted to a commoner. If you don't do this, you can't change their laziness How can a nation have a future if it is lazy as a whole?"
"It's impossible, we Goguryeo people are the most industrious people in the world!"
"Haha, do you believe this yourself?"
Gu Tianya sneered twice, with a questioning tone, and said, "Miss An, let me ask you, how many people are still honestly farming in the entire Goguryeo?"
An Yanbing obviously froze.
With a sneer on his face, Gu Tianya said slowly: "Although I occupied Goguryeo, I didn't confiscate the land. Instead, I formulated a policy of helping the people and allocated a lot of manpower and material resources from the Central Plains. For example, officials who are good at people's livelihood, half a year Time has been continuously dispatched here, and for example, thousands of carts have been sent back and forth for the seeds of crops with huge yields..."
"You see me as an intruder, but I am doing things from the bottom of my heart. Ms. An, let me ask you, is there any intruder in the world who can do what I do?"
An Yan said in a cold voice, "If you leave aside the identity of the invader, you can be called a benevolent person that is rare in the past and present. And the policies you implemented in Goguryeo can also be called a benevolent government that has never been seen before."
Gu Tianya sighed, and asked again: "But what do you get in exchange for benevolent government?"
An Yanbing's face was ashamed, obviously speechless.
She was speechless, but Gu Tianya spoke in a low voice, and said coldly: "As we all know, my foundation is in Youyun, where it is not rich, and the people have not yet lived a good life. Even so, I still send a large number of officials to come, The intention is to develop people's livelihood and improve Goguryeo's backwardness. It's a pity that kindness has been treated as a donkey's liver and lungs."
"There are still thousands of carts of crop seeds, which can meet the sowing of the entire Goguryeo in one season. As long as your people can sow for one season, there will be enough food and drink for the next season."
"However, Ms. An, you have also seen how many places in the entire Goguryeo are farming? How hateful, they actually ate the grain seeds."
Gu Tianya became more and more annoyed, his voice became colder and colder, he suddenly yelled, and said angrily: "Obviously I have sent a million shi of grain, and I donate porridge every day in various places. Anyone who feels hungry can receive it for free Porridge. But why, why do they still eat the seeds?"
With a bang, Gu Tianya slammed his fist heavily on the wall.
His tone was cold, he took a deep breath, and said: "My Youyun Zhuzhou is not rich, and the people under my command have not yet lived a very rich life. However, when they heard that I want to develop Goguryeo, almost Every family is tightening their belts to support me. Millions of stones of grain are squeezed through the teeth of countless people. Thousands of carts of grain seeds are made up by every family..."
"This is their sincerity, but it was sent here in vain."
"It's all wasted, it's all wasted by the Goguryeo people."
When Gu Tianya said this, his face had turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth: "For the past six months, I have been suppressing my anger. I watched the grain seeds being ruined, and I didn't interfere from the beginning to the end. I just wanted to see, Where are the Goguryeo people going to die?"
"Finally, my patience has reached its limit. Because, I have never seen you regret it."
An Yanbing wept aloud.
The old man and the others looked bitter.
……
Gu Tianya's eyes were determined, and he said solemnly: "Gaoguryeo's class division policy is already a fact that is destined to be unchangeable. I have told you before that I will establish a country in three months and I will change Goguryeo to Goryeo Province, and the policy of class division will be implemented at that time. In other words, Goguryeo people still have three months to live..."
He paused while talking, and said with a sneer: "In the past three months, I will continue to provide porridge. No matter how difficult my Nether Cloud States are, I will always allocate food here. I promise not to let If any Goguryeo starves to death, I will feed them for another three months."
An Yanbing cried miserably, and said quietly: "But after three months, you won't care about them anymore, right?"
Gu Tianya snorted coldly, and said: "If you continue to manage them, will you let me drag you to death? There are millions of people in Goguryeo, do they all have to rely on me to feed them? How much food is needed for such a large population? I can support them for half a year, and even for two or three years. But Miss An, can I support them for five or ten years?"
An Yanbing burst into tears, nodded and said: "Yes, people have to save themselves."
"You're right, I'm just forcing them to save themselves."
Gu Tianya's tone finally calmed down, and he said with emotion: "After the division of classes, the treatment of the inferior people will be very low. For example, the output of farming needs to pay [-]% of the tax. Another example is the status, which is only compared to slaves and criminals. The people are a little better. As inferior people, they must salute when they meet common people. If they meet good people, they need to kneel and kowtow..."
"Man is a very strange creature. No one wants to be a lowly bone, and if they don't want to be a lowly bone, then they must work hard to promote their status, from inferior people to common people, and from common people to common people. Good people."
"The tax for the inferior people is [-]%, and they are not allowed to study or do business. The only way out is to farm. If they don't farm, they will starve to death."
"But after upgrading to civilians, the tax rate will be reduced to [-]%. And children in the family are allowed to study, but they need to pay the tuition fees for studying."
"Only when you become a good citizen will you enjoy the best treatment. First of all, the tax rate will directly become a [-]% tax. In addition, children will study for free. And they can participate in the selection of officials, so that their children can change their destiny. "
Chapter 453 [Yuan Gai Suwen saw through Gu Tianya's plot]
, I have a background in Datang
Anton Governor's Mansion, in the government affairs hall.
It was night, and people were prone to sleepiness. There were more than a dozen tallow candles burning in the hall, but this brightness could not dispel everyone's fatigue.
Finally an official spoke in a low voice and tentatively reminded: "Governor, it is already very late at night. Colleagues have worked hard all day, do you think we should let everyone rest?"
Yuan Gai Suwen looked up at him, and stamped the official seal on the last document, then he said solemnly, "The autumn harvest is approaching, and the year is so important. Food is related to the livelihood of millions of people, so no matter what Can’t take it too seriously.”
He paused while talking, his tone softened a little, and he said: "I also know that you all have worked hard, but as the governor of the Anton Protectorate, I can only harden my heart and let everyone work harder. .It’s not that I don’t want everyone to take a rest, it’s because the autumn harvest is so important.”
He paused again while speaking, and sighed: "If there is a problem with the autumn harvest this season, at least 10 people in Goguryeo will starve to death."
"But this autumn harvest is bound to go wrong!"
An official at the bottom stood up and said loudly: "Now the whole Goguryeo, the fields everywhere are barren. This is caused by the war half a year ago, and the people failed to sow in time. There must be consequences. There is no sowing in summer. There is no harvest in autumn."
The man paused for a while, and then said: "So the official thinks that we should focus on the next season. It is reasonable to look forward to the coming year."
Yuan Gai Suwen asked rhetorically, "Looking forward to the coming year? What will we do this year? If there is no food for the autumn harvest this season, how will the millions of people in Goguryeo live?"
"It's very simple, ask Youzhou for help."
The official obviously planned it long ago, and said without hesitation: "Now Goguryeo is under the rule of You Yun, so if you encounter difficulties, you will naturally apply for help from there."
Yuan Gai Suwen was noncommittal, and asked again: "Then tell me, how should we apply for aid?"
The official rolled his eyes and said: "First, use the lack of grain as an excuse to apply for allocation from You Yun. The amount needs to be at least 500 million shi to meet the gap in Goguryeo. Secondly, apply for cloth clothes and quilts. These materials are Prepare for the winter to prevent the people of Goguryeo from freezing to death. Also, apply for a large number of farm tools and grain seeds, and organize spring plowing when next spring begins..."
This person made a long speech, made three requests in a row, and then cupped his hands and said: "Great Governor, that's all the proposals of the lower officials. If you feel suitable, please send a request to You Yun as soon as possible, after all, time waits for no one. The people of Goguryeo can't afford it."
Yuan Gai Suwen was still noncommittal, but looked at the people in the hall, as if asking: "What do you think of this proposal just now?"
"No way! It's like farting!"
I saw a person standing up in the main hall, who turned out to be Zhao Laosi who was a mansion soldier, and said with a sneer: "The suggestion made by this colleague just now reminded me of a common saying in the Central Plains: "Eat your father, drink your father." , After eating and drinking, I feel that it should be taken for granted.” But I was wondering, the Han people are not the fathers of the Goguryeo people, why do you make such demands so rightly? I don’t usually see you kowtow and shout dear father."
Yuan Gai Suwen laughed uncontrollably, and said: "The words of the fourth brother Zhao seem to be angry."
But the official who proposed just now was furious at this time, and shouted: "Zhao Laosi, how dare you insult me? Although I am from Goguryeo, I am an official of Youyun just like you."
Zhao Laosi snorted, and said, "So what if I scold you? I still want to beat you! You keep saying that you are an official of You Yun, but does your proposal just now seem to be made by someone? You need 500 million shi for food." , but also cloth clothes and quilts, we Han people deserve to die? We will support you Goguryeo people for the rest of our lives..."
The official roared and said angrily: "Goguryeo has just suffered a war, which is caused by you Han people. I just said that the people failed to sow the seeds in time."
Zhao Laosi let out a huff, and said with contempt on his face: "Do you believe this yourself? Open your mouth and spit shit out."
boom!
Yuan Gai Suwen slapped the table heavily, and said sharply: "General Zhao Si, watch your words. This is the main meeting hall, not a place for you to swear."
Then he looked at the official again, and reprimanded him sharply: "And you, shut up too. Now that Goguryeo is under the rule of You Yun, all officials should work together. Whoever dares to mention the war and chaos again, this official will punish him. Sins of solidarity."
He put on the authority of the governor, and said in a deep voice: "About the matter of the autumn harvest, first follow the decision of the official. Guards and soldiers will be dispatched from various places to help the people harvest the crops. Officials will also go to the fields to organize porridge and relief. business."
This policy seems to be well-intentioned, but Zhao Laosi frowned and said: "Drop the guards to harvest?"
Yuan Gai Suwen glanced at him and said helplessly, "General Zhao, I am forced to do so. Ever since Mrs. Jin returned to Liaodong, people all over Goguryeo were in panic. Countless people were afraid of being caught as private slaves, so they just abandoned their fields and hid Into the mountains... It seems that the autumn harvest is about to come, but Goguryeo is short of people. This official has no choice but to mobilize soldiers."
Zhao Laosi snorted coldly, and said mockingly: "There seems to be something wrong with the statement of the governor. The so-called hiding in the mountains you said is probably not good people. They are rebels, not persecuted by Mrs. Jin."
Yuan Gai Suwen pretended to smile bitterly, and said: "I am not arguing with you, what I am talking about is reality. Even if they hid in the mountains and became rebels, the lack of farmers in Goguryeo is the reality. I have no choice but to We can only mobilize soldiers first. After all, the crops in the field wait for no one, and every bit of harvest is a heavy grain. Brother Zhao, food is related to human life."
Zhao Lao Si obviously hesitated, and after a while he nodded cautiously and said: "I will report this matter to You Yun."
"Even if you don't report it, I will report it specifically."
Yuan Gai Su Wen looked serious, and said solemnly: "When it comes to the transfer of soldiers, I don't dare to act recklessly. Otherwise, if people misunderstand, I will think that I have evil intentions."
Fourth Zhao looked at him deeply, and said, "I hope you are really doing it for the autumn harvest."
Yuan Gai Su Wen spoke righteously and said: "Even if Gu Guozhu is in person, this official will still make such a decision."
Zhao Laosi didn't question anymore.
……
At this time, the night was very dark, and everyone in the hall was even more sleepy.
However, Yuan Gai Suwen obviously still had intentions, and continued to say: "About the application for aid mentioned just now, I think I should mention it to You Yun. This season's autumn harvest is destined to fail, but hundreds of people You can't starve to death, and winter comes after the autumn harvest, and the weather is extremely cold..."
Zhao Laosi's face was livid, and said: "In the past six months, Youyun has allocated millions of grains. It was all saved by the people of the Han family. They have tightened their belts to support Goguryeo."
Yuan Gai Suwen sighed bitterly, and said very 'ashamedly': "I also know that Youyun is very difficult. But Goguryeo is even more difficult. If there is no food aid, countless people will starve to death."
He paused while talking, with a tentative tone, and asked Zhao Lao Si, "How about applying for another 300 million shi of grain?"
Fourth Zhao took a deep breath and said, "Up to 100 million stones."
"it is good!"
Yuan Gai Suwen nodded quickly, and then said: "What about the cloth and quilts? Can we allocate more? The cotton industry in Youyun is very prosperous, and it is said that this season will be a bumper harvest."
bang!
Mr. Zhao slammed the table heavily, and said angrily, "You Yun's cotton industry is indeed prosperous, but the cotton feeds countless people. The Han women rely on it to earn food and clothing, and the common people rely on it to feed their children. If you donate to Goguryeo People, are they worthy of the hard work of the Han people?"
