"Your Highness should not be dissatisfied. Now the Taiwei is in charge of the court, and Yan State is just a vassal state. Once the court is dissatisfied, your Highness! You should bow your head when it is time to bow your head." Xu Meng's words can be said to be sincere. Although he was recommended by Yang Jun, he was not Yang Jun's party.

When Yang Jun falls, should you say a few words for Xu Meng? It may be worse than this if you save a new governor? I have to say that Xu Meng's enthusiasm was completely in vain, and Sima Ji completely turned a deaf ear. Just from the fact that Yang Jun lets Runan King Sima Liang run away, he can conclude that Yang Jun is not a decisive person.

"The governor is so serious, I just can't swallow this." After hearing Xu Meng talk for so long, Sima Ji was really embarrassed to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but it was impossible to compromise. "You have your own decision on this matter, so please go back."

"Then your Highness, let's rest, Xu Meng said goodbye!" Xu Meng sighed and bowed to say goodbye.

"Hmph!" Sima Ji smiled as Xu Meng left behind. If Jia Nanfeng was in power, he would definitely not dare to be smart with Luoyang. Who wouldn't be able to watch the dishes? "Go and get the household registration land account book of Shanggu County."

I wanted to call Yan Yan, but I wanted to say something, but I remembered that Yan Yan was driven to Beiping County and evacuated people. But this is fine. The Yan Prince's Mansion has become much more idle now, so I save people from disturbing me.

It is a relatively important thing to look at the registered land of Shanggu County. The most important tax in ancient times was on people, which was the so-called counting tax, and the oral tax was paid according to the registered people.

The biggest feature of the cap tax is unfairness. Of course, this is the tradition since Shang Yang's reform. There are policies and countermeasures at the top. If you want to not pay taxes, there are still ways. This has caused many household registrations to hide in the mountains, self-sufficient and not pay taxes, and they are also not under the control of the court. The hidden population of aristocratic families are experts.

Why did the Jiangnan family come from behind and form aristocratic politics in the Eastern Jin Dynasty? It is very simple. After Emperor Wu of Jin, Sima Yan, exempting the taxes for the 20-year period of Wu after unifying the world, it is of course very beneficial to the common people, but it is more beneficial to the gentry. Luoyang does not impose taxes on the people of the Wu Kingdom, and local gentry and powerful people can impose taxes.

According to the entire Dajin, Sima Ji didn't know whether the cap tax was good or bad overall, but for Yan State, the cap tax was definitely not good. Even if he checked the household registration, he could not guarantee that the household registration found this time was true. He did not search the entire Yan State for the network...

The taxes in the whole world are different. The territory of Wu is still in the 20 years of tax exemption. Even in the territory of Wei, there are differences in taxes. Like the border like Youzhou, the taxes are actually one-third of that of the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains.

After a simple calculation of Shanggu County, Sima Jixian really lost this time, not just because he said that he lost. First, Youzhou was a border, and the taxation was relatively low. Moreover, Youzhou was vast and sparsely populated. The fiefdom of Yan State was large, but the population was not large. Sima Ji saw this last time from the 16,000 households in the small land of Rinan County, Jiaozhou.

With such a small population but not a small area, Sima Ji felt that he had really suffered a great loss in tax collection. If he also collected the capitol tax, he would have such a large vassal state, but he could not accept some major counties in the Central Plains.

"How did the former king Sima Ji accumulate so much money?" Sima Ji couldn't help but look at the direction of the treasury. Could it be that the accumulated money and cloth are not much? He had a misunderstanding of the purchasing power of the Jin Dynasty?

Could it be that I have come up with other taxes? This point can be explained. The name of cleverness has existed since ancient times, and perhaps there will be guidance from experts, allowing Sima Ji to accumulate a lot of property.

In agricultural society, the population tax is actually a disadvantage in the household registration of prefectures and counties with large populations and small places. This shows that from the defeat of Yuan Shu of the Three Kingdoms, the population is proportional to the land in the agricultural society. If the population tax increases, insufficient land will cause population outflow and people will have to eat. Yuan Shu happened to occupy Huainan, which has a large population but a small land. So in the early stage, it will plummet every minute, and in the later stage.

"From my current relationship with Yang Jun, what would Yang Jun react if he had submitted his statement at this time?" Sima Ji walked out of the inner hall and muttered alone. Seeing this situation, all the maids were away from him. At this time, he disturbed him and had no good results.

Putting himself in Yang Jun's position, Sima Ji Shen murmured in a divine manner, "The King of Yan did not repent. He was obviously dissatisfied with the court's reclaiming the salt field. He was greedy for money and imposed heavy taxes on the people of the country. He actually came up with a way to increase taxes for the country of the country. The late emperor advocated frugality, but as a royal family, he did not know how to cherish the people. Balabala..."

"If my memorial is rejected by Yang Jun and Yang Jun falls, will I be the victim of revenge by Yang Ni's party? Why would the court give me some compensation at that time?" Sima Ji felt that it was just right at this time, but he could not submit a memorial by himself, tease Yang Ying first and cause some trouble for him.

A gentleman did not act. A few days later, the King of Yan Sima Ji submitted a memorial, believing that Yang Ying was greedy and made a large-scale construction after coming to Beiping County, causing disturbance to the people of the country, and brought many family members and slaves, competing for profit with the people, etc.

"Farting, shameless. Who doesn't know that in Youzhou, compared to the construction of large-scale construction, canals, city walls, and new cities! I'm just building a mansion, why are I greedy, how come I'm building a big project?" Yang Ying learned that Sima Ji wrote a memorial to accuse him and cursed him. After living for more than 40 years, he had never seen such a shameless person.

"Father, what's wrong?" A woman with willow leaves curled eyebrows came in. She had a graceful posture and a pretty face. There was a charm between her eyebrows. What was a little conflicted was that the woman had a sense of dignity, which was very abrupt at first glance.

"Xin'er, my father is fine!" Yang Ying felt a little calm when she saw her daughter. Her younger daughter was not old but was already famous. She was well-educated and had a pretty face. Many people were looking for Yang Ying to propose marriage, giving him a face more than her sons.

A few days later, Yang Ying's memorial arrived in Luoyang, accusing Sima Ji of withdrawing the tenants and deliberately contradicting the national policy of salt and iron.

Then Sima Ji submitted a memorial, saying that the salt and iron franchise was a national policy, and of course it would be cut clean with the feudal state. Otherwise, the Yan State would be suspicious of interfering, and of course it would be removed from all tenants, indicating that the King of Yan was honest and did not compete for profit with the court. At the same time, it showed that Yang Ying was narrow-minded. Some tenants said that Yang Ying and his subordinates had too close competing for their wives and daughters, and should be sent to investigate and punish them. Once guilty, they should be immediately pressed back to Luoyang.
