Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Liu Yu took a sigh of relief: “Can there be so much? This is not very custom-made. I haven’t had many beheaded captives in several battles. There are so many rewards? Fifty slaves cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. what.”

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: “Yes, although you did not gain much, but the military is the first to merit, the reward is at least one hundred and two hundred thousand dollars. The reward of the Beifu Army is the same as the military pay, higher than other things. The troops were several times because the extra money came from the Xie family. “

Liu Yuqi said: “Don’t you say that the military food and military pay are all from the court? How did it become the Xie family’s business again?”

Liu Muzhi sighed: “Dajin’s military pay, but an ordinary soldier, a month’s military food and eight fights, and only 200 yuan of money. Even the Beifu Army, three times the ordinary army’s pay, is only 600 yuan. The price difference of 400 yuan a month for this soldier is calculated on the scale of the standing Beifu army of about 30,000 people, and one month has 12 million yuan. Even the court, it is difficult to maintain such a huge expenditure. Ah. If Xie Jiaken paid the money, how could the Beifu Army be formed? “

Liu Yu opened his mouth: “My God, 12 million yuan, which is only a month’s scale. After a year, that money will be hundreds of millions, which is the super gate valve like the Xie family, so we can support it. No wonder The formation of the Beifu Army will fall into the hands of the Xie family, but they are out of real money. “

Liu Muzhi nodded: “The truth of the world is like this. If you contribute money, you will naturally have a profit. At first, Xie’s family went out to form the Beifu Army, which may just be a retreat from the disaster, but also the power of the emperor. Unexpectedly, I really formed an iron army team that can pack the world, retire to protect Dajin Anning, and enter the original hegemony in the picture. This can not be bought with hundreds of millions of dollars. If you let the Sima royal family come now Elections, if there is such an army that can take orders from itself, one billion dollars a year will be willing to spend. “

Liu Yu smiled and said: “So, fat man, you mean, this time the high rewards for meritorious soldiers, but also the Xie family to pay their own money, in order to win over the hearts of the soldiers, will it be used for the future?”

Liu Muzhi’s eyes narrowed into a line: “This is natural, and the soldiers have been given high-value military pay for three years. This money has cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Finally, it was time to break up and spend another tens of millions. Everyone is happy, there is no problem. “

Liu Yu’s face changed: “Wait, you said, what do you mean when you’re in a gang? Do you want to dissolve the army and stop going northward?”

Liu Muzhi nodded his head and said sincerely: “I know that you don’t like to listen to slaves, but now the situation is already obvious. After rewarding the armies, neither the court army nor the Beifu army can be long-term. Retained, the Beifu Army is a private army formed by the Xie family, but the cost of maintenance is too high. Unless it is going northward now, it must be disbanded first and convened when the country has something wrong. “

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: “Don’t the north be in chaos, do we not go northward? I always think that now is a good time, at least, to win the Central Plains, Qilu land, no problem, that Qingzhou’s Qingzhou thorn Shi Fulang is not Has it come down? “

Liu Muzhi smiled and waved his hand: “If there is no chaos in the north, it is not a good time. Fulang is just a few dozen rides, and it is not Juzhou. Since the north has been separated from the Jin Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, even if it is a Han , And do not regard the Jin army as the king division, plus Fu Jian Shi Renyi for many years, at this time, if we go north, we are afraid that regardless of the Han people, they will unite and fight against us, even if they are conquered by the military, it is difficult to govern. “

Liu Yu shook his head: “I don’t believe, how could the Han people not want the army of Dajin to recover their homeland? People like the bottle, the rabbit, and Lao Meng, would they go south?”

Liu Muzhi shook his head: “These are only a few rare cases, and they are not common. And if it is not instigated and abetted by Heavenly Master, I am afraid that even a few of them will refuse to leave. You know, the tax in the north can be It is far lower than the one in Dajin, Fu Jian’s so-called benevolence and justice for the people, is not just talking. “

Liu Yu frowned: “Now we have to pay three taxes on one acre of land, like my family’s 80 acres of land. If it was not because I was a clerk and exempted from tax, then that year I would have to pay 20 yuan for the land. Four stone meters. If the price of rice is ten dollars, it will be two thousand four hundred dollars, but it is not a decimal. There are three silks, and sometimes I think about these taxes and taxes. I know how my Dajin people have survived. “

Liu Muzhi said with a smile: “The only thing that can’t be sustained is bankruptcy. Isn’t that the way to enter those manor’s estates as family members, tenants, and family members? This is what I heard? And I heard that in the future, the taxes will be paid To further increase the levy, the court intended to raise Tian Fu three buckets to five buckets in the name of Northern Expedition. “

Liu Yu’s eyes widened: “What, to rise to Wudou? So much? Is the news sure?”

Liu Muzhi nodded: “I listened to my father-in-law. It should have been decided, and Xie Xianggong nodded.”

Liu Yu said bitterly: “I don’t believe it. How can such a minister like Xie Xianggong make such a decision? Does he care whether the people are dead or alive?”

Liu Muzhi sighed: “Xie Xianggong is considering the whole world. This world has not only the people, but also all the family gates ~ www.wuxiax.com ~ To get their support and not let them benefit, how is it possible? ? “

Liu Yu shook his head: “Aren’t these people tax-free, they have fields, and have a manor? How much benefit will tax increase have for them?”

Liu Muzhi’s eyes flashed coldly: “If the people are not forced to pay taxes, they can only sell the fields and sell them as slaves. Where can they get more land, where can they get more dealers? The court To get more taxes, the family needs more fields and tenants, everyone needs what they need! “

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: “Is the Xie family the same as these high-family families, just thinking of doing it for their own family’s benefit? If we give us the Beifu Army’s rates, it is the hard-earned money of these people, I Liu Yu Would rather not! “

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: “There is no absolute thing in the world. You only saw the suffering side of the people, but you never thought about it. If you have no way to go, who would be willing to serve the army? Xie’s family is not short of money, at least not in this way. With more money, Xianggong considers that he will build the Beifu government and the Northern Expedition in the future. Even if the farmland has three acres and one acre, it is not just farming, driven by people. What opportunities does it have for generations to come? Men, they must use their own hands to go to the north to fight for the world! Repaying the Beifu Army is to let people see hope, increase taxes and levies, it is to make people desperate, otherwise, why is it feasible for the Northern Expedition? The way of the country is very human! “
