Chapter 48: Courage

As a top bureaucrat who is always learning, Ma Zhou's intelligence is impeccable, and Liu Xun, the squire of the Yellow Gate, under the guidance of Ma Zhou, posted a "Theory of Restraining the Vassal King".

For a time, it caused a great backlash from the clan, and even to the upstarts of Luoyang and the heroes of the Xuanwu Sect, they all felt that this was not necessarily to "restrain the vassal king", but probably because the drunkard did not mean to drink, did he want to engage in "big constraints"?

The capital of the feudal empire has naturally become the place where there is no "royal law", where the criterion for maintaining social operation and maintaining interpersonal communication depends on whether the backer is big or not, and whether the background is thick or not. Since the construction of Luoyang Palace, in the past few years, Luoyang has resumed production from the original eastern capital and prospered again, accumulating hoarded wealth, and countless powerful people are coveting.

A house in the south of the city in the old year, what is it worth? Any Huaiyang businessman, if you buy it, you buy it. Up to now, it has been turned upside down, and those landlords in Nancheng are just used as "guest houses", collecting rent once a day, and after a year, they can earn the wealth of the previous generation.

It's hard to understand and hard to imagine.

Liu Xun's "Theory of Restraining the Vassal King" comes from the servant Ma Zhou, and Ma Zhou, who started from the East Palace, has always wanted to restrain the vassal king and deter the clan.

Most of the royal family are not engaged in production, not limited to economic and military, and there are only a handful of people who know one or two, but there are countless people who are as general as dolphins.

And because of the natural good aura, those affairs officials who lack confidence have to choose to compromise, cover up, connive, and even become more and more unbearable.

If it is still "agriculture-oriented" and "the people take food as the sky", Ma Zhou will not be like this, and the matter will end here when it comes to restraining the vassal king. But in today's world, a farmer's annual income is far less than that of any worker in New South City, even an apprentice.

After experiencing a period of brutal confrontation of crazy vicious competition and violent conflicts, Xinnan City gradually calmed down under the mediation of "people of insight". And because the value of high-quality workers has increased step by step, and the general moral judgment of the society is based on the fourth class of "Shinong Industry and Commerce", it has developed a rather strange "Hundred Industry and Industry Guild".

The "Baigong Guild" is not an organization of Xiangtang Huishui, and the moment it was born, it had a background of official intervention. On the one hand, the imperial court wants to "collect taxes" from the hands of merchants, and on the other hand, it wants to prevent the huge rich who "buy people's hearts", and the way to deter the huge rich is a two-pronged approach.

First of all, it is natural that "the rich do not fight with the officials" has more power than money, and secondly, it is the ruling tone of "people-oriented", so that the grassroots bureaucrats stand on the side of the "Hundred Industry Guild" as "parent officials" to coerce and deter the huge rich and big businessmen.

Although the collusion between officials and businessmen still exists, and the businessmen are still extremely rich and can buy off those low-level bureaucrats, when the "advanced" audit bureaucrats enter the system, the weight of the bureaucrats who deal with businessmen does not come from the support of businessmen, which slightly ensures the balance between industry and commerce.

Although even in the most prosperous city of New South China, the daily working hours of workers are often more than five hours, or even six hours, because of this strange balance, businessmen have to ensure that workers provide sufficient monetary income and nutritional intake while creating output value for them.

When the emperor heard that the daily consumption of meat and eggs in Xinnan City was even more than that of the north of the city combined, he showed an unprecedented expression of consternation.

It's just that all this investment is worth it, and the return of Xinnan City is incomparably rich. And this return, the emperor thought that it was his "protection", so while Ma Zhou and Liu Xun pointed at the clan with "On the Restraint of Vassal Kings", Li Shimin was determined to use the "Great Tui Grace Order" used on the "Five Surnames and Seven Hopes" to the Li family's relatives.

Since the feudalism is bankrupt, then find another way.

Either you don't push grace, you have to push together. It can't just be the division of the royal family, and all levels of the "four people" must "act according to law"!

If anyone is opposed, they will be "blackmailing the imperial family" and "selling direct invitations", otherwise, why should the emperor be hindered by all kinds of feudal activities?

Liu Xun took out the "Theory of Restraining the Vassal King" on the front foot, and Ma Zhou followed up with a set of "Yangtze River Dingkou Growth Examination". As Zaifu, who has a good relationship with all parties at the moment, Ma Zhou wants to get some important data from local real power giants such as Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Zhang De, Li Keshi, etc., and the difficulty cannot be said to be none, but basically it is to give this face.

Starting from the system, Ma Zhou is the current "central leading comrade", isn't it?

If the local government does not obey the central government, what does the local government want to do?

Ma Zhou's Dingkou index for Li Dong, the natural growth rate of 3/1000 is the upper limit, and this upper limit is not only in Chuzhou, but also in the upper counties under the jurisdiction of Changzhou in Suzhou.

However, where a large amount of land is concentrated in the state capital of one or several families, although they have a large amount of high-quality land, the bulk of the land output has nothing to do with "tenants" and "family children". As a result, the growth of Dingkou is the lowest on both sides of the Yangtze River.

As for the hidden population, there are a large number of "hidden households" and "black households" that are not on the books, but it is the glorious history of these families. This point, without Ma Zhou going into detail, Li Dong is also clear, and their Li family was able to rise up because they hid a large number of fighting men, not to mention the "hidden households" and "black households" who farmed the land.

When the rebellion started, Li Dong didn't mind that there were more people like this in his family, but after he became the master of the house, Li Dong didn't mind people who did the same thing.

"The ass determines the head, "On the Restraint of the Vassal King", Liu Xun may not really restrain the vassal king; Similarly, the "Yangtze River Dingkou Growth Examination" does not really have to examine the population growth on both sides of the Yangtze River. It is true that the outer court can use the strategy of Liu Xun, the servant of the Yellow Gate, to restrain the clan, then, as the eyes and ears of the emperor, can't the inner court, as the eyes and ears of the emperor, take Liu Xun's words to restrain those big families? ”

What movement Luoyang is going to set off, Zhang De doesn't care, these have nothing to do with Wuhan, because Wuhan seems to be in the entire Tang system on the surface, but in fact, it is detached from the Tang system, which is very deceptive. What's more, whether it is selfish or public, Zhang De also has an eldest grandson Wuji above his head, not only a relative of the emperor, but also a minister of the imperial court, even if there is thunder in the sky, he has to split such a thing first.

"The observation means that Shizhong is preparing to take the "Yangtze River Dingkou Growth Test", and then makes people believe that the slow growth of Dingkou is the constraint of the local clans? In this way, the province of Menxia is going to beat the gong and drum for the emperor's 'big push order'? ”

"So to speak."

Zhang De nodded.

At the conference table, a group of staff members and adjutants all nodded, "In this way, it is the same as our Wuhan." ”

"Crooked...... It's really, and I don't know how to say it. ”

"The emperor wants to open up the inheritance of the world, but to become the 'emperor of the ages', and this kind of courage still exists."

Listening to the discussion of the staff and adjutants, Zhang De also sighed with emotion, Emperor Li, the emperor, saw that feudalism was not working, and immediately turned around and made another move.

Since his own family can't dominate alone, then beat the second and third children into cripples, so the boss is still the boss......
