Chapter 478 Impeachment of Dong Hu for trespassing(1/2)
"Your Majesty has an order-"
"I gave the Prime Minister's swords and shoes to the palace, and I praised him for his praise or worship him--"
The ministers who had just entered Chongde Hall all turned around, but weren't they seeing Dong Zhuo with old Zhang's face and a large number of armored generals?
"The Prime Minister's Interview-"
...
Dong Zhuo stepped into the hall with a machete in his hand. No matter what he thought, the ministers all bent over to pay tribute. Until Dong Zhuo walked onto the platform and sat in the special seat, he stood up straight, while Dong Min, Niu Fu, Dong Huang and others stood on the left.
"Is there something to report today?"
Dong Zhuo ignored Liu Xie and asked directly. The ministers below looked down at each other...
"The old minister has something to report!"
Situ Wang Yun walked out, and Dong Zhuo's eyes narrowed slightly. There was bad news recently. Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi County, personally led 5,000 soldiers and horses to confront Xu Rong. Cao Cao, who had escaped, led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Chenliu. Even if Dong Zhuo thought about it, he knew that the old man of Chenliu County, was going to fight with him. These were nothing. The key was that Yuan Shao not only called himself a general of chariots, but also gave Cao Cao the title of "General Fenwu", but he was so angry that he became more and more convinced of Dong Hu's words.
"snort!"
When he saw Wang Yun coming out, Dong Zhuo instinctively snorted coldly, thinking that Wang Yun wanted to stop the capital from moving, or complain about the wealthy family.
"Wang Situ, are you going to be accused of those thieves again?"
Dong Zhuo stood up with his knife, Wang Yun hurriedly saluted Liu Xie, who was a little uneasy, and then he clasped his fists to Dong Zhuo.
"The prime minister is thinking awkward, Wang... Wang is going to impeach the general of the Western Expedition today for usurping."
"Um?"
Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment. He thought that Wang Yun was going to cause trouble for him again, but when he heard that it was the old boy who was going to find a tiger baby, he became interested.
"Tiger baby?"
"What's the mess that boy Huwa did?"
“…”
All the Liangzhou generals were speechless. But Wang Yun did not impeach any of them today. Instead, Dong Hu, who ran to Hedong County, looked at each other in full swing, and did not speak, all looking at Wang Yun who was clasped his fists...
"When returning to the prime minister, the general who conquered the West not only wanted to arrest wealthy families in Hedong County and invaded the people's land, but also ordered the Marquis of Jieduting to temporarily serve as the prefect of Hedong County without the will of the court."
Dong Zhuo blinked and slapped his belly. He thought Wang Yun was trying to impeach the muddy boy. When he heard that it was nothing, he immediately lost interest.
"What did we think it was? It turned out to be a matter..."
As he said that, Dong Zhuo walked down the steps and came to Wang Yun, and suddenly frowned again for no reason.
"When Huwa was in Liangzhou, he felt that the tenant rent of others was too high, and the tenant rent of wealthy households should not be higher than 30%. However, the military farming in Yanmen County is different from that in Liangzhou. The specific reason... Huwa felt that there were still Xianbei people in Bingzhou that had not been killed, and Bingzhou had few people, so he needed to maintain tens of thousands of elite border troops all year round, so that military control was implemented in Bingzhou."
"Bingzhou is a military-controlled area, and the thieves in Liangzhou were killed by Huwa. Han Sui and Ma Teng were also driven into Yizhou by him. Liangzhou had no thieves or threats from foreign enemies. Liangzhou no longer implemented military-control. The support of soldiers was not supported by poor people, but by the fields cultivated by others, and the fields were based on the "five hundred acres" of fields, not by the tenants who were farmed, but by whose fields were..."
"Whoever belongs to the land must support soldiers. Ten families have a total of 500 acres of land, or twenty acres, or only one family owns it. No matter who owns these land, as long as it reaches 500 acres of land, they will support one soldier!"
"Huwa said, I had 7.3 million hectares of land in the Han Dynasty. With 500 acres of land, I could raise one million and three million soldiers with a plan. But what about the current court? I couldn't even raise 100,000 soldiers!"
Dong Zhuo slapped his thick palm on his thin shoulders, lowered his head and leaned against Wang Yun, whose face changed drastically.
"We always have a headache about Huwa's recklessness, but when he hits this on our heads, what else can we say?"
"Can five hundred acres of land support a soldier?"
"Which one million and one hundred thousand soldiers or one hundred thousand soldiers is more?"
"The people have no land to farm, and they cannot afford to pay the taxes, and they will also provide taxes to soldiers. Then the boy will not ask for money and grain from these poor families, but will only ask for money and food from the rich families with land. Wang Situ, do you think... are we against it, or don't?"
...
"hehe……"
Seeing that Wang Yun didn't speak, Dong Zhuo's face became gloomy.
"Huwa arrested people in Hedong County because he wanted to make a joint agreement that the maximum rent should not exceed 30% of the time, and let the Marquis of Jieduting temporarily take over the position of prefect... That's because Huwa is the same general as us, and his subordinates are all a group of bastards. He is worried that a group of muddled boys will scare the people, so he asked the Marquis of Jieduting to take charge of the matter."
"If the people think that the maximum 30% of the tenant rent is too low, as long as more than 70% of the people do not agree with the 30% of the tenant rent, the tiger baby will follow the original appearance of each family..."
"Wang Situ."
"We are a little confused. When Huwa was heading to Anyi, he met Shizhong Cai halfway, and then went to Huayin with Shizhong Cai to visit the Yang family of Hongnong, and then to Anyi. According to our calculations, the letter we received the day before yesterday should be the letter sent by the boy as soon as he arrived in Anyi."
"But we didn't watch the letter with others. Wang Situ, how did you know that Huwa came from Hedong County so quickly?"
Dong Zhuo's face became more gloomy, and Wang Yun was frightened.
"The Prime Minister..."
"snort!"
Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards his special seat. Wang Yun also silently retreated back to his seat, not daring to say more, but he was secretly shocked that child who had been on the edge of the plot.
The Han Dynasty did not lack soldiers who dared to fight and fight. What they lacked was that they had no money and food to support them. Once the land was privatized, no matter what the policy was, it would eventually be gathered in the hands of a few people. This was an unsolvable problem. Once the fields were concentrated in the hands of a few people, for the farming society, these few people would have the right to say economic and political discourse, and they would try to maximize their interests.
There are only two ways to maximize interests. Pay less money and food to the court above and squeeze as much wealth as possible from the court below. The consequences of doing so are obvious. The court does not have sufficient taxes to deal with various crises, and the people cannot bear any risks.
No matter above or below, any slight disturbance is a huge disaster.
From Dong Zhuo's words, others can clearly see that Dong Hu's actions are to harm the interests of the group of people who occupy the fields in the middle, and this group of people is everyone in Chongde Hall, including Dong Zhuo and the upstarts in Liangzhou!
Dong Zhuo also didn't want Dong Hu to be so foolish. He was a local tyrant in Lintao. How could he not know how many people would he offend if a kid did so randomly? Can he not know the reason why "taking money is like killing parents"?
But when he thought of the difference between "one.3 million and one hundred thousand", he hesitated again, and in the end he could only pretend that he hadn't seen it. The boy was willing to do this in Liang and do this in Hedong County, so he would do this. Anyway, as long as he didn't do this in himself.
Gu Ju
Like Emperor Liu Hong, Dong Zhuo did not have a good way to restrain Dong Hu.
Did you cut it with one knife?
No use!
Dong Hu was different from the generals of the Han Dynasty. Even if he was cut off, Liang and the 200,000 troops would not disperse, nor would he obey him. Even if he was the emperor, 200,000 Dong Buyicon would not obey him.
Ignore it, it won’t be possible. If the bad guy has something to do, he will cause a headache. In the end, he can only turn a blind eye. Fortunately, the bad guy is still obedient.
Dong Zhuo thought to himself that even if the muddy boy was a little bit muddy, what he did could not be considered wrong. But Wang Yun learned about the matter in Hedong County in such a short time, which made the fat man with a dark face doubt, wondering whether Wang Yun could also receive news about those thieves and have colluded with those thieves?
After going home, he was still struggling with this matter...
"The capital must be moved!"
"must!"
Dong Zhuo said very firmly that all the generals did not understand, so the matter of moving the capital had been determined long ago?
"well……"
Dong Zhuo smiled bitterly again and sighed.
"The tiger baby is smart and capable, and that's the nature..."
Others don’t know why, so, why did you mention the boy who ran to Hedong County again?
Dong Min hesitated: "What my brother said is that the tiger baby is indeed smart, but... Is it inappropriate to rent a 30% rent? Since there is no problem with raising a soldier for 500 acres, why bother with how others collect rent? Isn't this offending all the scholars and clans?"
Dong Huang hurriedly said: "Uncle San said that how to collect rent is someone else's own business, and 30% of the rent is too little... Remove farm tools, plowing oxen, drought and floods, how much can the rent be left for 30% of the rent? How can a family live?"
Dong Huang said the words, and even Dong Zhuo himself could not help but nod, let alone others.
"well……"
"Thuwa will do whatever he wants! Shuying, if you write a letter with Tigerwa, you say that 30% is too small. This will offend everyone to death, and let that kid set it to 50% for us."
Dong Min nodded quickly and said, "Brother said, it's better to be more secure."
Dong Zhuo nodded silently and looked at everyone with a solemn look on his face.
"Huwa said that those bastards would rebel. We were a little suspicious at first, but now you have all seen that those bastards are recruiting soldiers!"
"February!"
"The capital must be moved in February!"
"Niu Fu."
Niu Fuxin lamented, but he did not dare to hesitate.
"The baby is here."
"Are three million stone grain ready?"
"It's still a little bit... it's still a little bit..."
"Bang!"
Dong Zhuo was furious and pointed at Niu Fu and furious.
"It's still a little bit...it's still a little bit..."
“It’s been January—”
Niu Fu lamented in his heart and fell to the ground with a "splash".
"It's not that the child is careless, it's... it's that there's not so much food..."
