Liu Che accompanied Dou Guangguo and walked in the corridor of the back garden of Zhangwu Houfu.

The servants and maids up and down the Dou family naturally avoided it from a distance to prevent hearing something that should not be heard.

And the topic that Liu Che and Dou Guangguo talked about is indeed not so a river crab.

Even, it's quite exciting!

Even if it is just a few words, if they are circulated, they may cause an uproar.

"The boss has assisted the first emperor in ruling for more than ten years, have you ever heard of the local apportionment and levy?" Liu Che asked cautiously.

When Dou Guangguo heard this, he first sighed silently, then looked at Liu Che, and said slowly after a long time: "Have you ever heard of it at home - freezing three feet is not a day's cold?" When the old minister was lowly, the local apportionment and levy had already existed, and when the first emperor was the emperor, he was also determined to forge ahead and wanted to get rid of this stubborn disease, but in the end, he had to give up......"

With that, he sat down on the railing of a hallway, holding on to the railing, as if reminiscing about something.

Liu Che looked at his vicissitudes of cheeks, and he couldn't be disturbed, so he could only stand aside and wait for him to continue explaining.

Dou Guangguo's life experience is legendary in today's Han family.

From an illiterate man who couldn't read big words to the emperor's brainsman, no one knows how much effort he put into it.

But there is one thing that Liu Che can be sure of—that is, from the old man in front of him, he can get a glimpse of many secrets that he could not touch and understand before.

After a long while, Dou Guangguo eased up, and after sighing leisurely, he explained to Liu Che: "Apportionment and levy, when the previous dynasty is in charge." As far as it already exists, the local yamen and government offices operate in all kinds of ways. Road repairs, bridge repairs, canal digging, all these kinds of government affairs, all need to use money and people, so the local government. And they apportioned these expenses to the people, and added levies and taxes. In the period of the previous dynasty, the Legalists adhered to the government, ruled with strictness, and supervised from top to bottom. Do whatever it takes. Therefore, the levy and assessment are all within a reasonable range......"

"When the country is established, the officials rule the sun, and the court rules the world with Huang Lao's inaction, and the people are at their own convenience, which has advantages, but also disadvantages. The showdown mentioned in the family is levy, four endowments for one year old or even five endowments and six endowments. That's one of the disadvantages! ”

When Liu Che heard this, he immediately almost understood.

Although it seems that what Dou Guangguo said is a little vague.

But in fact, as long as this matter is linked to the actions of the local government of the Celestial Empire in the later generations, it will probably be clear.

In the Celestial Empire in later generations, local governments had to give benefits to civil servants, buy people's hearts, do municipal projects, face projects, and repair various urban projects, as well as their own seven aunts and eight aunts, brothers-in-law, wives and two grandmothers, etc., also needed to be raised.

And all these things require money!

Where does the money come from?

Sell land!

As a result, housing prices are high, and people want to cry without tears when they look at the rising housing prices......

In the Western Han Dynasty before the Yuan Dynasty, the local government had nowhere to sell land.

But they also have to do things, what should they do?

Scraping the ground......

Anyway, serving the people and caring for the common people is just an empty phrase.

It is reasonable to collect several more taxes this year.

And the incumbent Gungun, in the face of such a situation, even if they want to do something, in fact, they are probably powerless.

Strictly prohibiting local levies and levies is not impossible for the Han dynasty, a political system that basically inherited the system and political structure of the Qin Dynasty.

But the cost is too high!

It is forbidden for local governments to levy additional assessments, and if local governments have no money, then many places will collapse!

For example, the maintenance of straight roads, the repair of the Great Wall, the maintenance of the city walls, as well as the dredging of rivers, the construction of water conservancy channels, and so on, if you really have to allocate funds or even decide on the central government, not to mention anything else, with the poor communication conditions before the Common Era, it is estimated that the daylily is cold!

And, more importantly, there is no benefit to being an official, so who would go to be an official?

Even 2,000 years later, the government that claims to represent the people is still turning a blind eye to the increasingly aggressive land sales by local governments, let alone today?

At the root of this, after all, lies in the greed of humanity itself and the fact that the ass of the ruling class has never really sat on the side of the people!

Whether it is slavery, feudalism, or capitalism, whether it is East or West.

What are the people?

The object of domination!

Who has ever really seen them except the moment when they were cornered and rose up to smash the shackles that bound them with their lives and blood?

Wen Yanbo of the Northern Song Dynasty said: His Majesty rules the world with scholars, not with the people!

The Donglin Party of the Ming Dynasty said, "The common people, they would starve to death at home, why do they have to run out to rebel?"

Even, until the new century, the ideal century, the dream century in science fiction books, the officials of the Celestial Empire said, "Do you speak for the party or for the people?"

Thinking of this, Liu Che's mood became extremely heavy.

"After all, my conscience is still ......," he thought to himself.

In the face of such a situation, he himself understands that his personal strength is insignificant, and it is even difficult to change anything.

But he knew that he had to do something no matter what.

Otherwise, if he dreams at night, he will be awakened by nightmares.

This country, this country, this land, and the people who live on it are his compatriots, his comrades, and his people.

He is the crown prince and the future master of this world.

At this moment, Liu Che really realized the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

It's just that the third life is a human being, and he is no longer a second-year teenager, and he also understands that by shouting slogans, except for deceiving a three-year-old child, there is no effect.

"Let......'s start with Hedong County first," Liu Che thought to himself.

As the prince of the prison country, it is impossible for him not to benefit himself.

This Hedong County was quietly rowed into his bowl by himself.

What had been planned as early as last year when he was in Hedong had been put on the agenda at this time, just waiting for the election of an obedient and qualified county guard. and you will start to do it.

As for Henan County, how to deal with it, Liu Che also has a plan in his heart.

Henan County is no better than Hedong County.

Liu Che also knows it. With his little arms and legs, it is impossible for him to put his hand into Henan County.

Because, Henan County, in the previous life, was called Sili during the reign of Little Pig, and its status was equivalent to that of a municipality directly under the central government in later generations, which was directly managed by the central government. Eastern Han Dynasty. It is also the location of the central government of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is Shenjing!

Even at this time, the status of Henan County. It's not much worse than Guanzhong.

However, such a blessed flow of oil, the jurisdiction is more developed in industry, commerce and handicrafts, and the rich are like a carp crossing the river. Officials. Still stretching out his hand to the poor people and acting recklessly, Liu Che thinks that he must give them a little bit of power, and he can't just punish a Dou Quan and kill a few officials, just forget it.

Killing chickens and monkeys has to be at least seen by the monkeys. The heart is beating and there is some restraint!

With such thoughts. Liu Chegong said to Dou Guangguo: "Uncle and grandfather, the kid thinks that the governance of Henan County officials is so bad, as the old man said - freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and it must be changed by good officials and wise men, therefore, the kid intends to recommend Zhonglang to his father to transfer Zhidu to Henan County Guard, I don't know what the boss thinks?" ”

Decide on the guardian of a county, especially the county guard of an important town like Henan County.

Liu Che is alone, and it is difficult to decide.

There must also be a big enough weight to come out and endorse.

Dou Guangguo is undoubtedly a suitable candidate.

And Liu Che did not hesitate to refuse.

Because of this short exchange, Liu Che already knew that although the uncle of the Han family said on the surface that he wanted to cultivate the avenue, in fact, in his heart, he still couldn't let go of politics.

If he has the opportunity, he will definitely be unwilling to be lonely and go out of the mountain again, even if it is just a sense of saving zài......

What's even better is that Liu Che feels that the emperor's father should also approve of this matter.

Zhidu is the most trusted person of the emperor's father.

A small lieutenant general is obviously not enough to satisfy the emperor's father.

Transferred to the county guard of Henan County, that is, he can exercise the talent of Zhidu, so that he has an additional experience of local governance on his resume, and prepares for future promotions and even rewards.

Just like in his previous life, Zhidu was transferred to Nanyang County......

Dou Guangguo pondered for a moment, shook his head firmly and refused, and said: "The old minister is about to die, he has long looked down on such national affairs, and he doesn't want to get involved again......

This was Liu Che's negligence.

If Liu Che recommended someone else, perhaps, Dou Guangguo would help.

After all, helping Liu Che and letting Liu Che admit his love is good for the Dou family!

Dou Guangguo is not stupid, he knows very well that he is alive, his sister Empress Dowager Dou is alive, and the Dou family has unlimited scenery, glory and wealth, and no one can match it.

But what if he and Empress Dowager Dou are gone one day?

Looking at the situation of the Bo family in the next few days after the Empress Dowager Bo, he almost understood.

It's just that, alas, Liu Che's recommendation is Zhidu!

Who Zhi is, Dou Guangguo knows it clearly.

That is a person who has no scruples in his heart and is only loyal to the Son of Heaven.

Let him go to Henan County?

Are you kidding?

That Henan County is extremely complicated, and various forces, including powerful landlords, wealthy merchants, and princes and kings, are entangled together, and if one is not careful, he will poke a big basket.

Dou Guangguo did not dare to take this risk.

In the final analysis, he is old after all, and he is no longer as brave as he used to be.

As far as he is concerned, it is good to live the rest of his days safely, and in his spare time, he can cultivate and eat a few golden pills.

There's no need to risk it anymore.

Otherwise, in case Zhi stabbed the basket, Liu Che, the prince, could hide in the palace, but he would have to face the boiling public opinion of the government and the opposition again.

Liu Che didn't understand Dou Guangguo's thoughts, but seeing that his expression was firm, it was not good to say anything more.

After all, Dou Guangguo is his elder and the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Dou.

There has never been a reason for younger generations to force their elders to do things for themselves.

Besides, if Dou Guangguo can accept his disposal of Dou Quan, he is already extremely enlightened!

Thinking about what happened to Comrade Jianfeng, Liu Che felt that he was still very lucky!

At the very least, no one was kicked out with a broom......

Looking at the sky, Liu Che said respectfully: "If the boss has no teachings, then the kid will leave first......

Dou Guangguo got up and said, "The old minister sent the family to ......."

"Boss, please stay......" Liu Che hurriedly said: "The kid can leave on his own, disturb the boss's cultivation, it's the kid's not ......" (to be continued......)

PS: I will take the bus back to Guangxi tomorrow, and there may be no change from the visual inspection, so I will probably take a day off with you.

Start the day after tomorrow and work hard to code words!
