Xun Yu was silent for a while, "The order to collect money and grain... was indeed issued by someone...

『What?!』 Although Xun Yun had a long time ago, he still couldn't accept Xun Yu's words in person. 『Master, the people... the people have just accumulated some savings, and... and the harvest has not been very good in the past few years, so this year is better... Now it's winter is approaching again, so I'll replenish money and grain again... This, this...』

Xun Yu looked at Xun Yun quietly until he calmed down a little from the chaotic mood and said, "Someone should do it."

『But...but...』 Xun Yun still couldn't understand, 『Is there no other way to solve the problem?"

『Other ways…』 Xun Yu suddenly smiled, 『It's not without…』

『Then…』 Xun Yun looked at Xun Yu, 『Why not use it?』

Xun Yu also looked at Xun Yun, "You can also think about it... why not?"

...

...

The night became deeper and deeper.

Man Chong walked along the street with his group. The soldiers around him held torches, and the iron armor was rippling.

The surroundings were as quiet as death.

As the light and shadow swayed, the group stood in front of a courtyard.

Man Chong raised his head and said, "Go and call the door."

In the middle of the night, the sound of smashing the door was very harsh.

No one responded.

The soldier who smashed the door looked back at Man Chong.

Man Chong was still standing in front of the torch, illuminating his back, but no one could see his face clearly.

The soldier continued to call the door.

After a while, someone responded in the door. As soon as the door latch was removed and the slit was opened, the soldier rushed in impatiently and knocked the slave who opened the door to the ground.

The slave was bleeding from his nose, but he didn't dare to say anything. He just buried his head on the ground and watched a pair of leather boots or combat boots sway past his eyes...

『Shuzhi Wang…』 Man Chong walked to the hall and looked at Wang Xiu, "Does the Prime Minister treat you poorly?"

Wang Xiu said in a deep voice: "Because the Prime Minister treats him very well, he cannot bear to see the Prime Minister performing bad policies..."

"Wrongly implement bad strategies?" Man Chong was stunned, "So, how dare you ask Shu Zhi, which one is the best strategy?"

"The heart of the people!" Wang Xiu said without hesitation, "Only those who win the hearts of the people can win the world! If the world has the way, the people will win the world! If the people have the way, the heart will win the people! If the people have the way, the heart will win the people! If the heart has the way, gather with them, and do not do to thee what you hate!"

Man Chong was silent for a while, "What is the people?"

"It is the most common people in the world!" Wang Xiu replied.

Man Chong did not continue this topic, but said: "Even if he had a different intention from the Prime Minister, why not directly advise the Prime Minister, why should he alarm Your Majesty and present him directly before the Dan rank?"

"If I advise the Prime Minister, I would like to ask the Prime Minister to treat the people well, reduce money, grain and taxes, restore people's livelihood, reduce soldiers, and increase mulberry farming..." Wang Xiu looked at Man Chong and said, "Can the Prime Minister agree?"

"Maybe." Man Chong said without hesitation.

Wang Xiu laughed, "Maybe! It's true that he is Man Boning!"

"If there is no tax increase, how can the soldiers use it?" Man Chong ignored Wang Xiu's irony, "If the world wants to unify, it is not enough to talk about war on paper!"

"You can get wealth from a powerful man!" Wang Xiu's voice was not loud, but it was like a shocking stone. "If there is a country and a family, you should not worry about being inequality, and you should not worry about poverty and worry about being uneasy! When the Prime Minister first decided, he ordered the land to be collected and rented four liters of millet, and the households would only produce two pieces of silk, and only two kilograms of silk. He would not be able to make a fortune! The world is very lucky to hear it! But now, what is it? I'm chasing mediocre taxes and plundering people's wealth, and again, again and again, especially for themselves, so how can the people's hearts come from? Where is the people's hearts?"

"After the chaos, the Prime Minister, given that the people were scattered and the land was unowned, they were all for public land to support the people..." Man Chong's eyebrows twitched and said in a deep voice, "Did Shuzhi forget this strategy?"

Man Chong said nothing wrong.

This is indeed a good strategy that Cao Cao had implemented before. Although Cao Cao's main purpose was not really for the people, but for the people who compete with the powerful and surrendered, to a certain extent, it also maintained a considerable amount of public land to avoid excessive annexation of land.

In fact, public land has been used throughout the ages, but the main problem is how to use public land...

"It is true that this is good governance..." Wang Xiu did not blindly deny Cao Cao's actions in these aspects, but he looked at Man Chong and said, "How about it now? Who is the one who gained the land and profit? Are the people, the powerful? Are they already like this? Does the Prime Minister know? Does the Prime Minister know?"

The whole pet is silent.

This question is indeed not easy to answer.

In fact, long before Cao Cao, the Han Dynasty implemented the "fake field" system, that is, borrowing land for the poor without land, and collecting rent should be roughly equivalent to other self-cultivated farmers. However, the fact is that the collusion between the powerful and the grassroots minor officials has led to most of these fields under the control of the powerful and becoming a tool for exploiting the poor.

The same is true for the benefit system that Cao Cao implemented. It was acceptable in the early stages. The later it went, the more it went to the grassroots level, the more it became, the more it became. Just like in later generations, many of the related households who received poor low-interest and interest-free loans in Midi University were related households, and the poor college students who really needed these were often limited by this or that condition, but they were not able to receive it.

After a while, Man Chong nodded and said, "I never thought of Shuzhi... Shuzhi's words are indeed reasonable, but they are also a false thing."

"Why is it wrong?" Wang Xiu asked.

"If the situation is like this today, we should follow it, which is forced by the situation..."

Before Man Chong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Xiu's laughter, "It's a "forced by the situation"! Today is a last resort, tomorrow is a love force, and what will happen next? Every day is a last resort, every year is a year is a last resort! The powerful are a day is a banquet and a dance on the high platform, and the people are forced by year is a year is a miserable and lonely!"

Man Chong took a breath, "If it were the usual time, maybe... but now there are no two... Brother Shuzhi, do you think of a way out for these words?"

Wang Xiu was silent, and after a while, he said hoarsely: "I am ashamed of the world or my descendants... I would rather be ashamed of my descendants...

"Since that's the case..." Man Chong nodded, then waved backwards, and sent someone to offer a short dagger, poisonous wine and white silk. "Peng also does not want to be humiliated by Shuzhi in prison... Brother Shuzhi can decide for himself."

Wang Xiu shook his body a few times, then stopped and laughed a few times, "Okay! Well! It's better to stop going, it's better to...go...

Man Chong was silent, watching Wang Xiu take the poisoned wine and head to the backyard.

The bright moon was in the sky, but soon after, a black cloud hit, covering the moon without showing its head again...

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

In good health!

Everything goes well!
