Showdown: I'm Reborn

Chapter 140 Natsuko
"Under the current productivity, the amount of land that can be reclaimed is limited, so the total grain output is also limited. Without considering the waste in the process of grain transportation, natural disasters and other unexpected factors, the total annual grain output is A definite number."

"At the beginning of the founding of the country, after countless wars, the number of people was reduced to the lowest. At that time, the land was sparsely populated, and the founding emperor only needed to live with the people and encourage the people to cultivate more land. The prosperous world to live on."

"With the development of time, after generations of reproduction, the population has reached the upper limit that the current imperial court can accommodate. With the corruption of officials and officials' hands, the petty officials turned into rats. The aristocratic families, nobles, and aristocrats all lay on the court and sucked the common people. blood……"

When she read this, Cui Yan felt that her heart was going to explode!

I, Qinghe Cui, have a farming and studying heirloom, and have produced many celebrities, officials, and prefects in the past dynasties, and even Sangong has been an official.

However, Cui Yan is still very self-cultivated. Although he was very angry in his heart, he still read it patiently.

"At this time, the crisis of the dynasty began to appear, and the population that the land could support reached the upper limit. Farmers had to sell their land due to various accidents, and then went bankrupt one after another. They had to work as tenants for aristocratic families to survive."

"Every free citizen and small landlord is the cornerstone of the Han Dynasty's rule of the world. With the progress of natural and man-made disasters, the number of free citizens and small landlords continues to decrease, and the scale of local tyrants and aristocratic families continues to change. Big. One day, the country will not be the country."

"At the end of the dynasty, thousands of powerful local mercenaries unexpectedly appeared!!!"

Seeing this, Cui Yan thought of Zhu Jun!
Zhu Jun was one of the three great generals of the Han Dynasty and one of the three commanders who quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Along with Huangfusong and Lu Zhi, he was listed as the pillar of the imperial court, and his prestige spread far and wide in Kyushu.

But it was such a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who, when serving as the governor of Jiaozhou to quell the rebellion, pulled out five thousand private soldiers from his home in one breath!
Maybe these [-] private soldiers are not all Zhu Jun's own, but also include other powerful private soldiers from nearby counties and counties, but no matter what the situation is, [-] private soldiers with a combat effectiveness similar to that of the regular army are enough to make people speechless Come.

"Every extra private soldier or tenant in a powerful and powerful family will reduce the foundation of the Han Dynasty. When more than half of the people in the world are under the command of powerful and powerful families, the court's tax revenue will be at least halved. , and taking into account the corruption of officials in the middle and late stages of the dynasty, the tax revenue received by the court was less than a quarter of the original."

"If you can't collect taxes, it will be difficult to continue to maintain the court, so you can only shrink the border. As a result, several counties in Bingzhou have been reduced to grassland occupation, and some ministers have openly proposed to give up the land of Liangzhou..."

(So ​​don't make fun of Ming Xuanzong who has no money to shrink his borders. The same is true for the Han Dynasty. Lu Bu's hometown has long since ceased to be under the rule of the Han Dynasty.)
"If the emperor doesn't want the Han Dynasty to perish, he can only start making money through various methods."

Selling officials!

Copy the house!

Robbery aristocratic families!

Use various methods to get money from powerful and aristocratic families.

These are all the evidence that the aristocratic family publicized that Emperor Han Ling was a faint emperor.In the past, Cui Yan didn't think it was a problem to say that.

The Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, but you sell your officials directly. This is not a faint king, who is a foolish king?
But this article puts forward opinions from other angles: the free people and small landlords have been annexed, and they can no longer collect taxes.

At such a time, if the Son of Heaven wanted to lose face, the Great Han Dynasty might already be gone.

From this perspective, the fall of the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are very similar. The fuse was financial bankruptcy and the court ran out of money.

But Emperor Ling also knew how to sell officials, ransack homes, cheat, be shameless, and know that even if he was a fool, he still wanted to make money!
Emperor Ling got the money, but it made the aristocratic family even more disappointed in him. At the same time, the aristocratic family squeezed it back from the ordinary people even more, which wasted the hearts of the people of the Han Dynasty.

"After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, in order to quell the rebellion, the local prefect had to be granted military and political power. Later, Liu Yan suggested abolishing history and establishing animal husbandry, and the world was in chaos."

Even if Dong Zhuo didn't come to Beijing to mess around, the demise of the Han Dynasty would only come sooner or later.

Because the tyrants of the aristocratic families are about to completely eat up the free people and small landlords!

When the free people and small landlords were completely eaten up by the powerful and aristocratic families, who would the Han Dynasty turn to to collect taxes?Who is willing to take out their own family money for the court?

"That's why, the Great Han Dynasty will be destroyed!"

Looking at the final conclusion, Cui Yan broke out in a cold sweat. Holding this book in his hand, Cui Yan opened his mouth and tried to take a deep breath. His whole body seemed to be suffocated, and he was greatly shocked.

"No, the big man must be saved!"

"There are many Liu families in the world. There is Liu Dai Liu Gongshan, the shepherd of Yanzhou. He is a famous man in the world, and now he is the shepherd of Yanzhou. He holds the power of Yanzhou. He will definitely make things right. Sanxing Dahan!"

"Liu Gongshan was killed by the Million Yellow Turban Army."

At this point, Sun Gan paused: "Perhaps, I mean, perhaps, the reason why Liu Gongshan died among the millions of yellow scarves was because his surname was Liu, because his reputation was too high, and because he had the possibility of being a great man. "

Hearing this, Cui Yan wanted to refute, but she opened her mouth and remained silent.

"There are also Liu Jingzhou and Liu Yizhou. They are genuine state shepherds. They hold the power of a state in their hands and have strong soldiers and horses under their command."

"Liu Jingzhou went down to Jingzhou on horseback, and relying on an imperial decree, he became the real power of Jingzhou Shepherd. His ability is indeed trustworthy, but now he has succeeded in a family and lost a family, and is still suppressing the rebellion of sect thieves. The four counties in Jingnan are even worse. There is a possibility of rebellion, I don't think he can move."

"As for Liu Yizhou, his sons are all in Chang'an, and he doesn't even have an heir. He won't be [-] this year, it's almost the same."

"Even if the Liu family has a great hero, Sanxing Dahan, that doesn't mean that there is something wrong with this article. Isn't the Han Dynasty already destroyed? Is the new Dahan still the current Dahan?"

"Brother Gongyou, what do you think?"

"I really didn't think of a way, so I want to take a look at this Xia Zi for myself, and see if I can get the "Circle of Chaos Part II"."

"This Xia Zi has already occupied Gaochang County, and is planning to open a mansion and build teeth, and call him Bo Jianzhi. Soon, he will be Xia Bo."

Hearing this, Cui Yan felt that the old trough was stuck in his mouth and he didn't know how to spit it out: He originally thought that Xia Zi was a great sage named Xia, so he honored him as Xia Zi.

If the following articles can have half the foundation of the first article, then it is not too much to rely on this book to make a name for it.

But never expected that Xia Zi's son turned out to be a noble title, and the son of the male prince of the prince, this is the title that existed in the time of Zhou Tianzi.

Now this Xia Zi picked out this system from the historical heap, picked it up and used it again, obviously he is a big traitor.

After thinking for a while, Cui Yan asked, "Who is this Xia Zi?"

"Xia Zi's surname is Xiong Mingyan, and he may be a descendant of the Chu royal family." Sun Qian said uncertainly.
