One thousand one hundred and eighty one is like a miser
The Guo family, Cao family and Xiahou family owned naturally a lot of land.
Guo’s own imperial village land does not count, because the imperial village land under the management of the inner court itself is taxed.
All the land that Guo Peng owned before and after the founding of the country was handed over to the inner court for management. After paying taxes to the treasury, all the rest belonged to Guo's own treasury.
The civil and military officials in the court knew this clearly, and no one could tell that it was not.
And they didn't even dare to discuss the matter of the emperor paying taxes to the treasury on weekdays, and they were selectively unable to see it.
Among the remaining three tribes, there are quite a few who own a lot of land.
There are many of the Guo clan members, including the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan members, who also own large areas of land in their hometown and the Jingji area of Luoyang.
Some of them bought it themselves before Guo Peng became emperor, and some of them rewarded it after Guo Peng became emperor.
Among them, Cao Hong owns the most land.
Cao Hong's land origins ranged from Yanzhou, to Yuzhou, to Jizhou, and then to Luoyang. All major manors were spread all over the states, and they were all possessed before the establishment of the Wei Empire.
The total number is no less than 200,000 acres.
Not only is there a large amount of land, but also the Cao caravan. Even if the Cao caravan is controlled by Guo, the big head belongs to Guo. However, Cao Hong does not need to assume obligations for the country like Guo, nor does he need to spend money for the country, so Cao Hong’s wealth is increasing.
This made him the richest man in the Cao family.
Having so much land, Guo also wants to cut off the land to eat Cao Hong.
Although Cao Hong himself didn't know, Cao Hong is the sacrifice that Guo, Cao, Xiahou's three families jointly offered sacrifices to outsiders.
Everyone doesn’t know how much land Cao Hong has, but he is truly recognized as the richest man, much richer than Cao Cao.
So Cao Cao must be the first to cause trouble for him.
Cao Hong himself did not expect it, but when Cao Cao took the order and team of Qingzhang Land to cooperate, he knew it.
He knew how much land he had and how much tax he had to pay once these land was taxed. Cao Hong was stunned.
"Meng...Mengde, I, I did nothing, I honestly led the troops to train. Why did I... why did I provoke His Majesty?"
Cao Hong thought he had made a mistake, so Guo Peng wanted to clear his land, let him pay taxes, and eat his meat.
He thought about it and couldn't figure out what he had made.
He even handed over the control of the Cao caravan and gave it to Guo Peng for no reason. Now Guo Peng used the Cao caravan and Mi caravan to make money all over the world, and all the money was made into Kushan, and he could only get a small part of it.
He admitted all this.
As a result, he still couldn't save his land.
His land is really large. If he really collects taxes, he will pay millions or tens of millions of dollars. This will be crazy.
He held Cao Cao's hand, hoping to get help from Cao Cao.
As a result, Cao Cao shook his head and pulled Cao Hong's hand down without any trace.
"Zi Lian, this matter is not aimed at you, but everyone. Your Majesty decided to abolish the D tax and merge all the agricultural tax together, and collect it only from the land. Therefore, we must naturally clear the land of the whole country. To be honest, my land will also be cleared."
Cao Hong was stupid after Cao Cao said this.
"Nationwide...everyone? Officials count?"
"Isn't an official?"
Cao Cao asked back, and Cao Hong suddenly had nothing to say.
Cao Hong then learned that this is a national land clearing campaign, preparing for the next stage of national taxation, and all arable land in the country must be cleared without any omissions.
So Cao Hong must not think that there is room for exploitation, as it is a very terrible suicide.
"In order to set an example, the land of the three families of the Guo family Cao and Xiahou family was the first to clear the land. I have informed the entire clan. No one should be lucky. Otherwise, if Your Majesty gets angry, the consequences will be unimaginable, which is really very dangerous."
Cao Cao didn't say anything about this. Cao Hong also knew that Cao Hong was the only person who had received the special treatment of Guo Peng's personal beating. He still remembered it vividly and could not forget it.
"But...how is this...so it happens!!!"
Cao Hong's eyes turned red, he thought about it and had no choice but to resist. He felt extremely aggrieved and actually fell to the ground and burst into tears.
Where can I look like a general in my words and deeds?
This guy really led his troops to win battles and then climbed to the city first?
Even Cao Cao couldn't help but feel suspicious, thinking that Cao Hong was not like a person who dared to fight or even climbed the city first. He valued money so much, and he was like a wealthy slave.
I can only say that human nature is complex and changeable, and no one can change his appearance and appearance for life.
Cao Cao instructed his officials from the Qingzhang team to get the land account book at Cao Hong's family. After checking, Cao Cao was almost shocked and dropped his chin.
Cao Cao really didn't know that Cao Hong's family actually had more than 200,000 acres of arable land, with countless guests and tenants under their jurisdiction, with as many as 10,000 households.
Guo Peng once turned a blind eye to these things and obtained a large land after winning the battle. The small head was allowed to be obtained by some heroes who liked land and interests. Basically, everyone had some land before and after the founding of the country.
But no one expected that Cao Hong quietly accumulated 200,000 acres of land!
Where did it come from?
Is this too much, right?
Does he want to enfeoff a country and establish a country?
Cao Cao couldn't believe the account book, so he sent people to various states to check, then counted the number, counted the population, and prepared to report it to Guo Peng.
When thoroughly checking the land accounts of the three families, most of them cooperated.
Cao Cao and Guo Jia were also a bit convincing. Xiahou Dun, who was far away, wrote a letter back to warn the Xiahou clan. Cao Lan and Xiahou Lin also wrote letters to their respective tribes in the harem, so that they would pay close attention to their favor with Guo.
Never go against Mr. Guo, and never try to deceive him.
This time, it's true.
After searching, even the source of the land in Cao Hong's hands had to be found out, but there was a problem with a guy who was a little surprised.
Guo’s younger brother, King Guo Yang of Zhao.
This guy Guo Yang can always surprise Mr. Guo in some unexpected places, such as the land level.
The land in Yuzhou was sold in the war era. Later, after Guo occupied Yuzhou, he did not think about buying it back because the land in the world belonged to him.
The house in Qiao County is just a refuge for the Guo family and his son. Since it has been sold, it will be sold.
But Guo Yang is different. Guo Yang only has one short title, and there is nothing but the salary given to the title. If he doesn't even have some land, it would be too unsightly.
So Guo Peng allocated a piece of land to Guo Yang in Zhao County where Guo Yang [King of Zhao], about 3,000 acres and 2,000 households, which was definitely enough for him to spend money on his life.
Originally, Guo Peng didn't even plan to give him so much fief, so he planned to give him hundreds of households. However, Guo Dan came over and mentioned this matter to him, and his words meant that he wanted to give his unscrupulous young son more benefits.
Guo Shan knew that Guo Peng hated Guo Yang, so he advised him that even on the surface, he should pretend to be kind and not let outsiders see the internal discord of the royal family from the reward, which is not a good reputation for the royal family.
