Chapter 262 Fighting with the air

Li Su and Liu Ba closed the door and discussed the details before the public announcement of the rent and mediocre law. The next stage will naturally be to listen to the opinions of the ministers and folk gentry in Shu.

Tax system reform has been a major event since ancient times, and it is impossible for monarchs or princes to be in a single power.

If it is a nationwide reform, it is normal to have a one-and-a-half-year public announcement period to buffer it. For example, during the later years of Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty, Prime Minister Yang Yan made the Two Tax Law, which was announced for more than half a year. It began to be announced in May 779 and only started to be implemented in the first month of 780.

Considering that Liu Bei is now governing Yizhou, with a small area and convenient transportation, and local opinions and feedback are relatively fast, the public announcement period can be shortened to two or three months.

Anyway, the Han Dynasty was not as common as the Tang Dynasty, and there was no problem of separating summer and autumn taxes.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the autumn harvest was received in one-size-fits-all manner, so Li Su suggested that Liu Bei announce the "new tax law officially implemented on the first day of July of the fourth year of Chuping", which happened to be the same as this year's autumn harvest.

It's only early March, and time is enough.

On the seventh day of the March 1st, Liu Bei personally watched the results of the discussion between Li Su and Liu Ba, as well as the "minutes of the meeting" during the negotiations between the two, and also temporarily recalled Lu Su from Hanzhong in advance, and then closed the door and listened to the suggestions of Lu Su, Xun You, Zhuge Jin and others on the nineth day of the March 1st.

Of course, it is mainly to listen to Lu Su's opinions. The other two can only be considered as the top priority. The lawmakers who can sign in the future "Rent and Message Law" will be mainly Li Su and Liu Ba, and Lu Su is the auxiliary.

Because Zhuge Jin had too little experience, he was just a county magistrate who didn't understand the overall situation. Although Xun You was older and wise, he was only good at military strategy and military strategy, and civil affairs and logistics were not his strengths.

Finally, Liu Bei copied more than a hundred copies of the new tax system on the tenth day of March, stamped the seal of the King of Hanzhong. After the fire lacquer seal was sealed, he issued the counties and counties in Yizhou to let officials and famous scholars write to the story. Those who oppose it can take advantage of this last opportunity to jump out.

Considering the traffic difficulties in Shu and the cost of traveling is high, Liu Bei also announced that he could give the person who speaks "letter on the bus", and the official provides rations and rations for cars, horses, boats and ships.

Don’t think that “letter on the bus” is a patent that only exists in modern reforms. In fact, the earliest source of this word is the story of recruiting virtuous, well-off and well-official scholars during the reform of the Han Dynasty.

...

After the public notice and order was issued, Li Su was still a little worried, thinking that opposition or the jumping of vested interests would come in - because many online novels involving ancient reforms he saw in his previous life were also written in this way.

So in the first three or five days, Li Su was so nervous that she couldn't sleep.

Similar to the online novel writer who has just been on the shelves or has just been on the big recommendation position in later generations, because the fog of war cannot see the first-order data clearly and the collection increase is increased. Every one or two hours, I can't help but wake up and flip through my phone and look at the backstage.

Although Li Su has no mobile phone or data query portal, he has many servants and maids. In daily life, he has at least dozens of visitors or letters every day due to his busyness.

Now that the daily work is still going to continue, the letters and documents are still being sent, he feels a little temporary neurasthenia. When he hears the urgent documents, he subconsciously thinks that the opposition has jumped out, but when he opens it, it is not very urgent.

Li Su was rarely angry about this matter, and Family Law punished two maids who were blinded and helped the visitors deliver documents and prayers.

After being tossed for three or five days, Li Su gradually calmed down and rushed back to Nanzheng to handle northern affairs. When he came to him to say goodbye, Li Su arranged wine, dance and music to entertain Lu Su.

Lu Su is also a hard-working man. This time he came to Chengdu, he only lived for ten days, which was equivalent to holding a high-level meeting to work together. It would take more than a thousand miles to travel around the meeting, or a mountain road, and it would take at least half a month to go on the road. If it weren't for the reform that was extremely important, Liu Bei wouldn't want to bother him.

At the banquet, Lu Su also saw that his spirit was a little dazed and advised openly: "Boya, you have always been indifferent and calm, and you are just reforming, why are you so ready for such a strong battle? It's only five or six days, so it's enough for the messenger to go north to Mianzhu and south to Nan'an to fight back and forth. Jiangyang and the places in the road have just received them, so how could you refute so quickly?

Besides, don’t they need to discuss and summarize it in the local area first? Shouldn’t each county collect the opinions of each county and report them together? If everyone says their own things, it will be messed up. If you ask me, you should throw this matter away and think about it now, leave it for half a month, look back and forth, and read it together in one go."

Li Su played with the jade wine glass at hand and sighed. He knew that Lu Su was right, and the bystanders cleared:

"I'm still open-minded, but you are different from me. I take the lead in this matter. Of course, I have to pay attention to it. Now I don't think too much, but I just keep too many official documents every day. Every time I see a new official document, I will guess if it's about the new law before I open it."

"Then let it go, and eat, drink, have fun and ignore government affairs for half a month! Isn't this what you are best at? Unless it is a big thing that the king personally asked you to stop the government affairs that other people below asked you to stop, and you will not have so many troubles to remind you.

You are also mentally prepared. Anything that is sent to you in the end is an imminent matter. Boya is not talking about you. You are a person who has the talent to govern the world, but it is too chaotic to govern the internal affairs. It may be related to your own entry into Sichuan. He is too chaotic to manage relatives, servants, maids, and no brothers or elders, and no wife tribes. If it were someone else, he would have been a general from all directions in the court, and he would have been so chaotic to govern the internal affairs." Lu Su almost thought about it, and just advised him for granted.

It seems that he already thinks that Li Su's eating, drinking, and having fun is normal and natural.

Li Su was a little confused when he heard this: So I have such a bad impression in your heart? I just took a bath and drank a little more tea! I still work very hard!

However, Lu Su’s second half was indeed correct. Who told him to be a time traveler who forged his identity? He didn’t have a relative in his family, but his wife Cai Yan was just about 19 years old. She was very literary and artistic, but she was not qualified to manage secular affairs. However, Cai Yong had no sons and Cai Yan had no brothers, and Li Su even wanted to be nepotist and had two brothers in charge of the family’s external things.

Unless Li Su reused Haonu, he didn't want to do this, and he always felt worried.

Li Su has no shortage of staff, generals, and bodyguards, but only a capable butler.

Sometimes, when thinking of this, Li Su regrets the group of beauties who captured the captives of Meiwu. He let go of all the homeless people and bring the rest back to Liu Bei to give up all the homeless - otherwise at most, he would have to take two concubines from there and control their family to do things for Li Su.

But these are a bit far away, and Li Su was too lazy to think too much, so he thanked Lu Su first: "Thank you, Zijing, for your understanding. I understand. During this period, I will pay attention to handing over all the small things to Gongda to avoid disturbing me. Alas, I was originally thinking that the reform was at the critical moment, and everyone was busy, and I was just embarrassed to be idle. Now, I should be idle and selectively."

After the banquet, Lu Su was sent out. After Li Su returned to the house, he officially gave serious instructions to Cai Yan and her maids who could enter the inner hall: Within half a month, it is not about the new law, or as long as it is not something that Liu Bei personally explained, it is not allowed to inform him!

Li Su's marquis's mansion also has something inside and outside. After all, he cannot use eunuchs, so he just set the rules of the family. Unless he followed Li Su himself in, men could not enter the yard three times in the end. No matter what matters, they could only stay outside for a few steps and let the maid convey the notice.

"Yes, husband, I was not strict in my internal governance a few days ago, which made me bothered me and would not happen in the future." Cai Yan took the lead in comforting her gently and tactfully, and told Li Su not to mind.

[Receive red envelopes after reading books] Follow the public account [Book Friends Base Camp], and you can get a maximum of 888 cash red envelopes after reading books!

After saying that, she also explained softly: "Husband, the day before yesterday, Jinse and others did not want to be good at internal and external transportation and to help others report their benefits. They were also unaware of the situation. Later, they admitted their mistakes to me privately. They thought that their husband was addicted to dancing and music and ignored the government. They were also afraid of being indulged in the bad reputation of "confusing wise ministers and ignoring the serious business", so they helped Zhuge County Chief inform him, and they had no other intention."

"Okay, I know." Li Su waved his hand, comforted Cai Yan, and signaled that this matter had nothing to do with her.

It turned out that just two days ago, Zhuge Liang wanted to ask for a meeting by Zhuge Jin, saying that he had found someone to try a kiln for burning vessels. He transformed it according to the method of "preheating the blower" when making steel in Wudao, and increased the kiln temperature and fired a new kiln of porcelain. I want to ask Li Su to appreciate it.

As a result, in order to divert attention from the refutation of the new method, Li Su was hypnotizing the two maids Cai Yan recently trained. The messenger sent by Zhuge Jin outside said that there was a secret matter. The two maids who were drumming were afraid that their master was addicted to dancing and music, so they informed him and asked Li Su to deal with it.

When I returned to Chengdu last year, Cai Yan had to choose a few music-proficient girls from the beautiful girls in Meiwu, and usually play music with her to relieve boredom. At that time, Cai Yan needed a blowing Fengse and a blowing Songse. After picking it out, he found that the two girls' houses were gone and their names were gone. Cai Yan gave them the name, named the blowing Fengse Jinse, and the Gu Songse Xiuse.

As a result, after Jinse Xiuser reported, Li Su took the action and found that it was not a big deal: the new porcelain sent by Zhuge Liang was far from the level of "celadon", and it was still obviously yellow and earthy. At least it had to be improved for more than ten kilns to make a trial production for several months before the work was completed. If every time this progress was made, Li Su would not have been busy and turned into neurasthenia.

So Li Su blamed the girl for being troubled and overstepping her authority. However, he was also a person who respected women. He knew that women could not be punished without being beaten. At that time, he slapped the bamboo slices that taught the children a lesson for a few times to implement the family law.

Now I drank a drink with Lu Su and told him things up. He calmed down. Cai Yan advised him warmly again. He waved his hand generously: "The past is over. Even if I was not strict in the formulation of family laws at the beginning, those who do not know will not be punished. But now I know, I will not be an example. In the future, when I clearly say that I do not want to deal with government affairs, I will not be allowed to report any matters except the king!

Who do you think you are? If I don’t handle government affairs, will it be because I can’t be ‘indulged in dancing and music’? I still have to teach you the priority? It’s ridiculous, and I’m afraid of Daji and Baosi’s reputation. Are you worthy of being written into a history book? It’s also the wife’s business to go to Shin. Don’t lose your time.”

Cai Yan laughed when she heard this, and was very proud in her heart. After all, this was also the husband who used different ways to praise her and said that she was worthy of being written into history books. Moreover, Cai Yan has always been very insightful, and it is normal to know that his husband is really oriented, and he has no tendency to "lolic control" at all (of course Cai Yan doesn't know this word). Jinse Xiuser is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and Li Su has never touched them at all, but just appreciates their music.

After this incident, the rules of the inner house finally became more serious, and there was no more fuss about making a fuss about it for a long time. Zhuge Liang was there alone studying military law and learning laws, and occasionally doing scientific experiments to observe and guide craftsmen to burn porcelain, but he didn't have the chance to show off at Master Li for at least a month.

Who made the Li Su family open "invisible", and "unless they are particularly concerned, other news will not be disturbed", only Liu Bei and Liu Ba have the privilege to "invisible to them". When others come to visit, they hear no longer "the right general is not seeing the guests", but "the right general is not here."

Now, Li Su finally enjoyed quiet and ten days, and his neurasthenia was fine, and he didn't doubt others would object at all.

Until March 26th, he lay down in broad daylight to take a bath, and asked his maid to play the zither and feed him fruits. As a result, the sound of the piano stopped and the maid informed him that there was something important to deal with.

Li Su Naoren jumped and almost responded: "Jinse, you have a problem again, right? The last time the Zhuzi Family Method didn't hurt enough, right?"

The little girl was so scared that she sat on the ground: "Sir, atone for her sins. This time, Liu Ba really asked for a meeting. He said that he brought the opposition to the new law in Guanghan County counties compiled by the prefect of Guanghan, and some local gentry's joint proposals. The king also asked the gentleman to take the time to refute it."

Li Su then felt energetic: "I said why did the objection come so late? It turned out that they were still in a group. It was a good time! Change my clothes!"

After fighting wits and courage with the air for so long, the enemy finally appeared.

Li Su quickly put on her formal clothes and went to the front hall to meet Liu Ba. Liu Ba also briefly introduced the situation of the opponents to him:

"The Right General, Zong Ji did not object to this reform, but he summarized the opinions of the counties under his rule. At present, the most interesting one is Wang Lian, the magistrate of Zitong County. In addition, there is Yang Hong, a famous folk scholar who is not yet an official. Both of them have been on thousands of letters to argue in detail the drawbacks of the new law. Moreover, they have already received the bus from Chengdu, and the king did not blame them.

I didn't expect that Jianwei County was closer, and the civil opposition collected by the prefect of Jianwei Chen Shi should have been faster. As a result, there were very few people who opposed the new law under Chen Shi's rule. I read Chen Shi's memorial a few days ago, and I could refute it in person, so I didn't bother with the Right General. Instead, the counties around Zitong, which are far away from Guanghan and Hanzhong, have the greatest opposition, and they are all meaningful."

Li Su thought to himself: It turned out that I had been playing music for a long time. It was not that no one opposed it in the past ten days, but that the opposition from that time was too young, so Liu Ba directly cracked the block and didn't need to reach Li Su's level.

But if you think about it carefully, he didn't find it strange. Li Su frankly said to Liu Ba: "This is expected. Brother Zichu, tax law reform cannot only look at who benefits from it, but also the local rich and poor, and the changes in the rich and poor in recent years.
