The Embroidered Uniform Guards were born.
Now, no one understood what kind of organization it was.
But in the future, the world would be afraid of him. This was a fang from thousands of years later.
For this reason, Xiao Nan was still thinking hard about how to curb the Embroidered Uniform Guards. After all, the reputation of this team in the later stages was not very good.
"Xinzhi!"
Cao Cao raised his eyebrows." Now that Yanzhou is about to be recovered, what else do you think we should do other than welcome the Emperor and manage our internal affairs?"”
"Eh!"
Xiao Nan was dumbfounded." My Lord, you should ask Wen Ruo, Zhong De, Zhi Cai, and Chang Wen about this. They are the internal affairs sages. As for me, I don't know much about this!"”
"Wen Ruo?"
Cao Cao cried out unwillingly.
"Here!"
Xun Yu smiled bitterly.
Before Xiao Nan came, Cao Cao had always thought of Wen Ruo, Zhi Cai, and Zhong De.
Now, they were all new…
"Say it!"
Cao Cao urged.
Xun Yu suppressed the helplessness in his heart and said respectfully,""My lord, I thought we should properly manage the internal affairs and appease the people!”
"Accumulate grain!"
"Build a high wall!"
Xiao Nan said with a strange expression.
Xun Yu's mouth twitched.”
"My lord!"
A scholar on the left stood up.
Cao Cao waved his sleeve and said,"Zaozhi, if you have anything to say, just say it!"”
"My lord!"
"I think we should follow the example of Emperor Wu and implement the garrison system. We will train our troops while plowing the fields. This will increase the grain hoarding and prevent the future shortage of grain!" Zaozhi said respectfully.”
"Pa!"
Xiao Nan slammed the table and stood up.
"Do you think it's impossible, sir?" Zaozhi asked with cold sweat all over his forehead.”
"An army is an army!"
"People are people!"
Xiao Nan's gaze was incomparably sharp as he said in a deep voice,""What is the garrison system? War is for the soldiers, and garrison is for the soldiers. How can you win the hearts of the soldiers and maneuver on the battlefield?”
"But!"
"But!"
Zaozhi braced himself and said,"The state's taxes are insufficient!"”
"Bastard!"
Xiao Nan said coldly," Yanzhou is a big province second only to Jizhou. It has more than 700,000 households and a population of nearly four million. Why are you boasting shamelessly about insufficient taxes? Could it be that the fields in the various counties of Yanzhou are all barren?"”
"Xinzhi!"
Xun Yu shouted in a low voice.
Xi Zhicai's face was ashen as he said,"This is a flaw that has existed for a long time!"”
"Don't tell me about the drawbacks!"
Xiao Nan waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice," The world is in chaos. The commoners are not covered in clothes and do not have enough to eat. However, what about the various aristocrats? There are people frozen to death in the wine and meat stench of the vermilion gate. I don't know what my lord thinks, but do you think that pacifying the world is just treating the symptoms and not the root cause?”
"What do you want?"
Cheng Yu raised his eyes and said gloomily.
"A stall owner entering the house!"
Xiao Nan said indifferently," From today onwards, the head tax will be abolished and all of it will be distributed to the land tax. A unified land tax will be collected. Those who forcibly occupy the fertile land of the people will return the land to the people. Otherwise, let the various aristocratic families hand over this huge tax. I don't believe that they have assets comparable to the national treasury and can continue to raise tenants!”
"No!"
Xun Yu stood up abruptly.
Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Jin, Cheng Yu, and the others all had cold expressions.
"Ha!"
Xiao Nan's gaze swept across the crowd.
Xu Chu silently appeared behind him, his palm already pressing on the podao.
"What are you doing?"
"Are you going to fight in the hall?"
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with coldness as he scolded the civil and military officials.
At this moment, Cao Cao finally understood why Xiao Nan had said that the aristocrats of Yanzhou would not tolerate him.
The stall owner entered the house.
This was a heavenly sword for the Shi clan.
It could kill all the aristocrats in Yanzhou and make people fear the vassals.
What was terrifying was that most of his subordinates were from the aristocratic families, Xun, Xi, Guo, Li, Le, Cao, and Xiahou!
Once he started to set up stalls, the greatest impact would not be on the Yanzhou gentry, but on the gentry below him!
"Pa da!"
Xiao Nan sat down and tapped the hilt of the sword.
He must be a servant and a Jinyiwei.
Since he had joined Cao Wei, he had to break all historical processes and let this dynasty continue to grow stronger.
Between a dangerous situation and cutting the Gordian knot, he chose the latter. Even if he had to become enemies with all of Cao Cao's nobles, he would not hesitate!
"My lord!"
Cao Ren looked over stubbornly.
"Bang!"
A bundle of bamboo slips fell on Cao Ren.
Cao Cao's expression was cold and stern." Cao Ren, did I give you too little salary, or did I give the clan too little fertile land? If all the commoners become tenants of the aristocratic families, how can the Prefecture Overseer's Office pay taxes? Can't you understand such a simple matter?”
"Here!"
Cao Ren said with an ugly expression.
"Mr. Xinzhi," Xiahou Yuan said in a deep voice,"didn't the Xiao clan annex other people's fertile fields?"”
"I'm sorry!"
Xiao Nan took a sip of tea and said lightly," My Xiao family does not farm. The food we use for business comes from the Xu family and the Mi family of Xu Prefecture. If you are really dissatisfied with the policy of sharing the land with your family, why don't you go home and be a rich man?”
"Xiao Nan!"
Someone stood up and shouted coldly.
"Zhao Zhi Zhang!"
"Don't force me to kill you. Your mouth is too smelly!”
"All of you are geniuses who want to govern the country and the people. You are officials first, and then the disciples of the family!”
"If you can't even do this, why would the people fear you? If you insist on doing this, tomorrow, a rebel army will march into Yanzhou and trample on your so-called aristocratic families. Haven't you seen the consequences of the Yellow Turban Rebellion?”
Xiao Nan glanced sideways at the person at the bottom of the table, pinching the teacup as he spoke coldly.
"Xiao Xinzhi!"
"During the late emperor's time, I was one of the eight schools in the West Park. At that time, you were still a child who hadn't even grown up!" Zhao Rong said coldly.”
"Bang!"
The teacup in Xiao Nan's hand instantly smashed into Zhao Rong's face.
The thick teacup exploded, and blood and hot tea flowed down his face. It was extremely bloody.
"I killed…!"
Zhao Rong roared ferociously.
"Ka!"
Xu Zhu reached out and pinched Zhao Rong's throat. He said indifferently,"My lord asked me to protect Xinzhi. Killing him means killing me. How can someone like you stay in the hall? Let's go out and have a chat!”
"You…!"
Zhao Rong's expression was extremely dark.
His breathing stopped, and he almost fainted.
Xu Chu turned to look at Dian Wei and grinned."Old Dian, help me look after Xinzhi!”
"Good!"
Dian Wei nodded.
He was all alone, with only his wife and children.
To him, it would only be better if he became a farmer.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xu Zhu dragged Zhao Rong out of the hall. Cao Cao did not say a word.
At this moment.
Everyone understood.
The policy of splitting the population into households had long been decided.
This was a show, a show that Cao Cao and Xiao Nan had put on for them!
