The longer they get along, the more they know each other, of course Zhao Ding knows how Liu Xing behaves now. Since Liu Xing didn't tell him, he didn't ask anymore.

At this time, the carriage stopped in front of the temporary courtyard of the Heavenly Lord's Court.

As soon as Liu Xing took Zhao Ding out of the car and walked into the courtyard and into the main hall, Zong Ze, who had been waiting for him, greeted him in front of the door first and asked, "Mrs. Liu, what is the important thing that made me wait for most of the night to come to see me urgently?" ”

Facing the old marshal with a slight fist and a smile, Liu Xing said: "Sect Master, please sit down first, please sit down first." ”

For Zong Ze, Liu Xing has always seemed to disdain his set of benevolent morality, loyalty, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, but the exploits of the old marshal have made Liu Xing always respect him in his heart, so naturally he will not always look high and coercive when he speaks.

Seeing Liu Xing say this, Zong Ze turned around and sat back on the second seat.

As soon as he sat down, Liu Xing coldly glanced at the people in the room, and then said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, I called you to come to the meeting overnight because I thought of a new strategy that could not only reduce the burden of the people on the imperial court, but also promote the economic development of our dynasty. ”

Hearing Liu Xing's words, everyone's eyes widened and they looked at Liu Xing, their faces were full of surprise and puzzlement.

Seeing their expressions, Liu Xing just smiled faintly, walked to the right seat and sat down, and said, "I know, everyone is wondering why I said such a thing. The people are the foundation of the country, and the imperial court should bear the responsibility of protecting them. The imperial court has too many things to do, too much, and it can't engage in the kind of hyper-staffing system that seven or eight people, or even a dozen people, can do at a time. So I came up with the idea of pushing out some things, governing the people with the people, protecting the people with business, and enriching the people with business. ”

Rule the people by the people. During this period of time, Liu Xing ordered a large-scale re-election of advisory bodies at all levels. The rudimentary rule of the people had already opened the eyes of those sitting in the hall to a completely different scene.

The former Great Song Dynasty. It is a matter of several people to do it, all on behalf of the royal family and the imperial court. Since he is an official, it is natural that when dealing with many affairs, his mode of thinking is first from the perspective of the official position, so that there are always various affairs that cannot be completely satisfied with the people.

However, since the election of the new consultative body, those consulters at all levels have begun to truly pool their wisdom and efforts on many matters because they have discarded all kinds of past relationships between friends, township parties, clan parties, and teacher-student parties.

When those councilors all unleash their potential and participate in the governance of a province and a village. In fact, the effect has not only greatly reduced the workload of the yamen at all levels, but also played a very effective role in supervising and suggesting to the yamen at all levels.

As a result, the local officials, who were happy to be idle, were now in praise of the new consultative system, and chanted endlessly.

With the success of the new council, it is still easy for people to understand the saying that the people will govern the people.

Since Liu Xing swept Hedong and recovered Shanxi, what the Northern Dynasty has been implementing is to break the inherent differences in social hierarchy.

The businessmen have changed from the lower ninth class to the upper ninth class, and many magistrates even have to take the initiative to make friends with some big business managers in the local area.

Why do officials take the initiative to make friends with businessmen, is it because they want to ask for bribes and take the opportunity to make money for themselves? Could it be that the Northern Dynasty gave five times or even ten times as much as the Southern Dynasty? Isn't it really possible to achieve the effect of "high salary and low income"?

The answer is no, those local officials go to the initiative to climb the merchants. There are actually two main reasons.

The first reason is that those big businesses that span multiple states and counties, and even provinces, are now becoming wealthy and powerful with the continuous integration of Liu Xing. As long as the magistrates have a good relationship with the local people who are responsible for the big deals, it is possible for the big dealers to increase their investment in a certain place and make the economy of that place flourish rapidly.

If the magistrate wants to make political achievements, he can only rely on businessmen to do his best and make measures that are in line with Liu Xing's policy of enriching the people.

In this way, a new phenomenon has been formed, in which the merchants are not in office and speak lightly, but the magistrates are eager to do so.

The second reason is that after the rapid reform of the new council system, the various "parties" that had really caused a lot of trouble for local officials in the past were dismantled and driven out of the council body.

Who are the people who have added to it? Most of them are merchants, and at least forty percent of the seats are in the hands of merchants.

The consultation evaluates the performance of the magistrate, and if the magistrate wants to be promoted in the future, it is no longer just a matter of getting a good tie with the official and not the most imperial history, and not doing anything out of line.

Now if you want to be promoted, in addition to the official evaluation of the Ministry of Officials and the Imperial History Examination, there is another thing that Liu Xing attaches great importance to is the "consultation evaluation".

If you want to be promoted, the officials, the imperial history, and the advisors can't be less, and forty percent or even more of the merchant advisors have money and food in their hands, and they have the right to speak now, so naturally the magistrates will turn around and hurry up.

And it turns out that it is really a good thing that the magistrate turned against the merchant in the past. At least in many places, there is really a good relationship between the government and business, and a large amount of investment has been injected into the area, so that the local strategy of enriching the people has made great strides towards the goal......

Therefore, as long as the officials can be people, in this country where most industries are controlled by officials, supervisors, and large businesses, they can not only help Liu Xing quickly achieve the goal of everyone with fine clothes and food, but also bring them more opportunities to glorify their ancestors and glorify the lintel.

What about the merchants? Naturally, they will also obtain large profits through these investments and operations, so as to achieve a "win-win" situation as Liu Xing said......

However, what surprised everyone was not these two points, but Liu Xing's sentence "governing the people with business".

Although the status of businessmen has risen now, they are no longer in the ninth rank.

But Lu Buwei, who wrote "Lü's Spring and Autumn", is even Fan Li, who was the first to use beauty tricks. Either they are businessmen themselves, or they are businessmen in their bones, and as a result, after giving them strange goods to live in and mercenary, no one can forget how deep the damage they caused to a country.

Could it be that Liu Xing wanted a large number of Lü Buwei to appear in the Northern Dynasty who pursued the life creed of "strange goods can live"? Or do you want this vast world to have a large number of scheming and mercenary Fan Li?

Guessing the worries of these people in his heart, Liu Xing smiled faintly and said: "Everyone, please rest assured, I will not allow Lu Buwei to appear in my dynasty, let alone Fan Li, who harms a large number of people and only wants to achieve personal fame and fortune." When I say that the people are governed by business, I mean that businessmen will help us make a big insurance policy for the whole people, and that businessmen will help us protect the people's livelihood, old age, sickness and death.
