In fact, they did not know until now that they listened to Zhang Yue's introduction and looked at the data and charts marked on the wooden board, and they truly realized how the actual situation under their rule had developed?

It’s a pity that I was complacent and proud in the past, thinking that I was the contemporary Guan Zhong, who presided over many justice for the people and did a lot of good things.

And now it seems...

What I do is just to hold firewood to put out fires and to put out soup to stop the boiling.

As Han Feizi said: The disease lies in the skin, where the soup is ironed, where the skin is ironed, where the needle stone is reached, where the intestines and stomach are connected, where the fire is connected, where the bone marrow is controlled, there is nothing to do!

Although the situation under their control may not have developed to the bone marrow, it at least to the stomach and intestines.

But they were using soup irons, and it was just a therapy for needle stones.

It's a hell that can cure the disease!

but……

The situation is already so serious that all they can do is to use soup ironing therapy, and at most, to stimulate it with some acupuncture.

Where to find Huo Qi who can help him?

These people frowned.

The knowledge and methods they learned and knew were nothing more than light taxes and levies, and rest with the people.

But the current situation is just listening to those numbers, and everyone knows that light taxes and levies are not allowed to solve the problem, and rest with the people.

Because, the population base is there.

The land scale is also there!

It is impossible to save it with your own abilities!

After talking about these three main data, Zhang Yue reached out and pointed to the patterns drawn on the wooden board, saying: "As what Your Majesty and all Ming Gong saw, I have made a statistics on the number of households, land acres and burdens of the 22 counties and states in Qingzhou, Yangzhou and Xuzhou, and used the figures to mark them..."

Everyone looked up and looked at the patterns on the wooden boards.

Population, land, taxes, corvee labor and hard expenses (food and clothing, sacrifice expenses) are marked in red.

The total income is marked in black.

As a result, in the chart of almost every county, the red part far exceeds the blue part.

For example, Qi County and Jinan County, the blue part is even less than half of the red part.

More importantly, these patterns also have lines to indicate which expenditure belongs to.
