Chapter 466
Dong Hu looked at Dong Mao with a solemn expression and held a wine cup to signal to him. Seeing him shaking his head silently, he drank it in one gulp...
"There is reincarnation in heaven and earth, and there is cause and effect in the world. The chaos in the world is the inevitable result of cause and effect."
"The reason for the chaos is nothing more than the corruption of politics, economy, military, people's livelihood, and difficulties to a certain extent. It is the inevitable result of the irreconcilable social contradictions reaching a certain level. This is not a problem for anyone, nor is it the emergence of a wise ruler who can eliminate the resentment of heaven and earth. Even if Taizu and Emperor Guangwu are alive, the world will start the war of hegemony in the Warring States Period, and only through war can the world be restored to peace."
"But the eldest son should also see some things from our words. My uncle replaced General He Jin. If the situation in the world can be stable and not collapsed, it would be better if the situation collapses. But if the situation collapses, moving the capital will become the most wise decision, at least for the Dong family."
Dong Hu frowned and said, "Since moving is the best choice for preserving strength, when is the best time to move the capital?"
"From the beginning of spring in February and the fall of autumn, as long as you avoid the heavy snow, you can move the capital, but we think the best time to move the capital is to move the capital before the wheat harvest."
"From the perspective of the capital itself, it is most suitable to move the capital after the wheat harvest in May. At this time, with more food and food resources, people will not suffer a great famine without food, and will not starve countless people to death. However, it is the most difficult to move the capital at this time, especially when there is no preparation, because after the people completely put the wheat in the warehouse, the time has entered the rainy season in June."
"Not to mention whether the people are willing to leave, even if they forcibly set fire to Luoyang, all counties, villages and villages, forcibly use knives to force them, countless people will be slow to move because of dragging heavy food and supplies. It is a thousand miles from Luoyang to Chang'an. You need to walk on the rugged roads of Hongnong County along the way, and migrate for at least one or two months. It will be rainy in June and July. Once the food is soaked in rain, the food will be completely abandoned."
"The grain was destroyed by rain and migrated in June, and it took at least one or two months to complete the migration. That is to say, when dozens or millions of people migrate to Chang'an, snowflakes have already floated in the sky, and people will freeze to death without heating and sheltering the cold houses."
Dong Mao nodded silently, but no one interrupted Dong Hu's words.
"These are just problems with the capital migration itself, and the reason for the capital migration is that Luoyang was besieged by 200,000 rebels in the north, east and south directions."
"It is the coldest time now, and there is no news of whether there is a rebellion or not. Moreover, even if those people rebel, it is impossible to recruit many soldiers at this time. Only after the spring is warm and snow melts, can we recruit a large number of soldiers. This takes time. It is impossible to gather 200,000 troops in three or two days. In other words, since February and March, the number of rebels has gradually increased from a small number. The heyday of the rebel forces was after the summer harvest. Whether it is the military force, food and supplies reached their peak, and it was at its peak at the moment of its momentum."
"When the thief soldiers are young, they can force the people to move the capital. The thiefs reach 200,000 and besiege Luoyang from three directions. How can the dozens of people still be willing to leave their hometowns? At this time, will millions of people fight with our army? Will the enemy take the opportunity to take the lead and add to the point?"
...
"So we think the best time to move the capital is when spring is warm and snow melts in February. This is when the green and yellow are not in contact. The people do not have much food and supplies, so they can go into Guanzhong within a month. At this time, they have not missed the autumn grain farming season, and they also have time to help each other build houses to avoid the cold."
"The only disadvantage is that the people fail to harvest the wheat at home, and they will definitely fall into a famine for half a year, but... Dong Hou took down Hedong County in August. We have tens of millions of cattle and sheep in various pastures in Shangjun, Xihe County and Hetao County."
"From Yanmen County, Taiyuan County, Hedong County to transport grain from Luoyang, you must pass through Hongnong County, which has a rugged road. The time spent is not much consumed along the way. But if you transport grain into Chang'an, it will be much more convenient. At least the road along the way must be much flat. Moreover, when the people moved from Luoyang to Chang'an, they could enter Hedong County from Fenglingdu to Guanzhong, and bring their own life-saving grain into Guanzhong. If the food stored in Hedong County is insufficient, you can draw millions of cattle and sheep from the pastures of Shangjun, Xihe County and Hetao County to Chang'an."
Pang De, Gao Shun, and Dong Sizhong were all shocked. Dong Bai and Liu Bian were young and the other had not yet understood the world. While Dong Mao was shocked, he nodded silently to agree with Dong Hu's words. He had been a Bingzhou governor for a year in Bingzhou and knew more about Bingzhou, especially shocking the huge amount of food stored in Pingcheng, Jiancheng and Mayi.
"In February, the wheat in the fields became soldiers and rations... We actually don't care about millions of acres of land at all. For us, after the capital was moved, the fields within the eight passes of Luoyang belonged to us. We wanted to farm... It would be fine if we rolled around and cultivated!"
"A group of bastards who only know how to see them... men don't bother to pay attention to them!"
When several people heard him say this, they all smiled bitterly. As he said, once the two counties and five prefectures really rebelled, once the next year, 200,000 soldiers and horses really siege Luoyang on three sides, and even from Wuguan to siege the empty Guanzhong. The safest way is to move back strategically. As he said, February is the best time to move the capital. Only at this time can you harvest a season of autumn grain and avoid the severe cold of winter.
But once the capital was moved, all the eight passes of Luoyang became deserted and abandoned land, and Niu Fu and others were allowed to farm on the frontier of the enemy? Isn’t that an international joke?
Dong Hu is strong and has a total of 200,000 brothers. Even if he doesn't speak, Dong Zhuo will let him fight against the princes of Kanto on the front line. At that time, the genius will care about how he cultivates and harvests the abandoned wheat!
I understood it, but Dong Mao smiled bitterly...
Valley
"Since you know that this will be the result, why do you still..."
"well……"
Dong Mao smiled bitterly, but Dong Hu frowned for several breaths...
"Young Master, why don't you understand yet? The second lady married Liu Xie, and her uncle became the Prime Minister of the Supreme Court, the Secretary of the Shangshu, Niu Fu was in charge of the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan, Xu Rong was in charge of Luoyang Camp, Hu Zhen was in charge of the 5,000 cavalry camps, Dong Huang was in charge of the twelve city gates, and the eldest son was in charge of the sect... These are all means to ensure the stability of the court and the stability of the army, and even let Lao Liu make trouble in Jizhou. These are means to try their best to control the stability of Luoyang and the stability of the world when Luoyang is not moving!"
"But there are conditions, that is, we Liangbing martial artists cannot get distracted! Our own people cannot make trouble with each other!"
A chill suddenly rose in Dong Mao's heart...
"No matter how powerful the foreign enemy is, as long as you don't lose your stance, it will be difficult for others to defeat us. But look at Niu Fu's bastards, you obviously have his head stuck under someone else's knife, and he is still fucking to make the field... Forget it, we don't bother to pay attention to them!"
"Let's not talk about the nothing that will happen next year, let's talk about the issue of the distribution of millions of acres of land itself."
"There are only a few people who control the troops, Niu Fu, Dong Huang, Xu Rong and Hu Zhen. According to their distant relationship, Niu Fu and Dong Huang must have taken the big head, but did the eldest son see Niu Fu and what kind of soldiers behind Dong Huang and the others? How could Hu Zhen be satisfied with the big head? The nothing else in the distribution of the fields alone is enough to make all parties dissatisfied and hated!"
"snort!"
"I haven't started a war with the foreign enemy yet, and I just started fighting alone. How could I defend Luoyang?"
Dong Hu snorted coldly and was extremely annoyed by Niu Fu and others.
"At first, although we thought there would be 200,000 soldiers and horses in rebellion, we were not afraid of them at all. The two counties and five states were generally plains. There were a total of four cavalry battalions and 20,000 elite cavalrymen. As long as our own people are not confused and no one is pulling our back, we are not afraid of them at all."
"So, we think of using the grain from the eunuchs' fields as collateral and lending from major families. We use peace methods to trick the money and grain from the wealthy families into our hands to ensure that the army does not need to worry about food and supplies within half a year. When those guys rebel, we will go and grab their money and grain."
Dong Hu drank the wine and said in a sip of wine, "The purpose of getting back the eunuchs' fields is not the field itself, but based on the fact that the capital is not moved, on the basis of Luoyang as the center, on the basis of our own people not intrigue. If we move the capital to Chang'an... we don't care about those fields! It's amazing that we run back to Hedong, and my uncle will do whatever he wants! We don't care!"
Seeing that the muddy boy was really angry, Dong Mao sighed in his heart, patted his back twice, and said, "This matter is too serious. Can you give my brother a day?"
Dong Hu breathed a sigh, turned his head to look at Liu Bian, and sighed: "We heard that some uncles and ministers discussed the abolition of Bian brother in Chongde Hall. When we heard that my uncle asked Bian brother about the question, in fact, Bian brother did not say anything wrong!"
"The reason for the chaos in the world is not caused by eunuchs, but by the fiefs of princes. It is the result of countless wealthy families. The reason is not complicated. It is because in addition to thirty taxes, one tax, one tax, and one tax, the people also have to bear the fiefs of the princes, and they also have to bear at least 50% of the tenant rent!"
"A family of five people can cultivate two people. There is no problem in cultivating 30 acres of land. One acre of grain produces three stones, and one household can harvest ninety stones. The land tax is two stones, and one stone of grain is calculated at two hundred coins. The tuition is calculated, and even if we have a total of thousands of coins, we only need to hand over five stones of grain to the court to complete all taxes. In the end, there are 85 stones of grain left, which is enough for the people to eat and wear."
"But what if the court pays half of the land rent after taxes? What if the fief family is supported? Can the people continue to live? Can they still pay taxes to the court?"
"The more wealthy families, the more fiefs, the poorer the people, the less taxes the court pays, so the people are in a row, the people are full of resentment, rebellions are everywhere, and there are holes of money and grain everywhere, but the court has no money and grain in its pockets!"
Dong Hu sighed, "The people should have been to support the court, but now the people have turned to support countless families of all sizes. The original tuition and tax calculations are not allowed to continue. The court officials will say that the taxes of the court are too high and will require lower taxes. What's the fact? If the people do not worship countless families, the rich people can pay these taxes."
