Chapter 292: A new start to the foreign war, and the change of law is accelerated

Yiyantang, from the moment when Liu Xi was fully responsible for the battle against the enemy who invaded Western Xia in the Taifu Mansion, the government of the Northern Dynasty truly and thoroughly entered the era of Liu Xingyiyantang.

This is the result that Liu Xing has been trying to get, and Liu Xing is very satisfied with this result.

This result also determined that the constitutional monarchy advocated by Liu Xing's new law had a comprehensive and stereotyped foundation.

Liu Xing is very happy that the constitutional monarchy he advocates can be fully developed. So when Jin Nu arrived at Yan'an Mansion with 1,000 Shenxiao soldiers and 6,000 musketeers, Liu Xi received the order, and Liu Xing issued another round of decrees issued by the new law one after another.

In the first decree, Liu Xing ordered that the senatorial and advisory bodies at all levels from the village to the province of Xinwang be officially renamed as the Advisory Bureau.

In this new "Consultative Law", Liu Xing redefined the number of village-level counselors to three and the township-level to five. The county, government, and provincial level have all changed to quotas based on the number of household registrations in their respective areas.

It was also in this "Consultative Law" that Liu Xing formally clarified in the form of a law that it was forbidden for clan party lines, teacher-student factions, and in-laws to serve as advisors in the same local advisory bureau.

However, when the "Consultative Law" was promulgated, a situation that Liu Xing, Zong Ze, Zhang Suo and others did not expect immediately appeared.

As soon as the whole country saw the notices posted on the billboards at the gates of various cities, and as soon as the full text of the law was made public, the scholars everywhere immediately boiled.

Why are the readers boiling? There are three reasons for this: First, it is the right choice to prohibit nepotism such as clans and in-laws from controlling the Consultative Bureau. But those Confucian students couldn't understand why Liu Xing's two own teachers had already become governors. But don't let other teachers and students become officials in the same place?

Second. The number of councillors in each region shall be determined according to the number of household registrations. There are tens of thousands of households in some counties and one county in Gyeonggi. However, in some remote areas, a prefecture is not even as large as the number of households in a large county in the capital. Such a situation is destined to lead to a serious difference in the importance and disparity of the size of the institutions in the matter of consultation.

The third is the treatment of the council. The councillors of a county town only participate in supervising local administration and participating in judicial trials for which the former criminal master was responsible, and they do not need to sit in the yamen at all in normal times, and are allowed to continue to engage in business and other activities. For such a group of people, the remuneration given by Liu Xing is only a little lower than the county order of the county where he is located.

When the Confucian scholars saw this. is the cause of the real outbreak. Scholars in many places even stood in front of the city gate and directly scolded: Liu Xing is engaged in pseudo-participation in politics, first bribed those advisers with rich remuneration, and the so-called supervision and impeachment of magistrates are all empty words and fools......

Fortunately, the word democracy has not yet appeared, and when Liu Xing learned that many students and old gentlemen in front of the city gate were already scolding themselves for spending money to buy counselors and engage in fake political participation, he first thought about it secretly.

After thinking about it in this way, Liu Xing immediately fell into deep thought, thinking about whether it was right to do so, and whether it was necessary to strengthen the law of consultation in order to conform to the tastes of the Confucian group.

However, when Liu Xing came back to his senses from deep thought after a few hours, Liu Xing made a ruthless decision.

This decision was also carried out by a decree and a new law, called the Treatise.

Books and papers are not unfamiliar to Liu Xing at all, but they are also no strangers to people of this era. It's just in feudal society. No one is going to pay attention to it, or it can be said that not many people are really qualified to pay attention to it.

Why?

Quite simply, many people who can write a masterpiece that will last a lifetime. When they were alive, there were only two ways to print their works as heirlooms. The first is the official seal, which is printed by the imperial court and the government with money, effort, and manpower to sort out and compile some people's works.

For example, the Four Books and Five Classics, the Six Arts and Six Books, such as the Spring and Autumn Three Legends. Those are the works that have been officially paid by the past dynasties to print the works of a certain sage or many sages together.

This kind of officially printed Confucian book, some of the original authors will be respected during his lifetime, but they may not be beneficial. But it was only after their deaths that their works were printed and used as tools for the imperial court to bind the minds of the people.

In addition to this official print, there is also one reason why historians often do not live well. For example, when Sima Qian first started writing "Historical Records", and Ban Gu wrote "Book of Han", all of them were written at his own expense, and after he finished writing, he turned them into books and spread them.

Of course, in the era of Sima Qian and Ban Gu, the word "book printing" did not exist, because it was the era of bamboo slips as books. There is only engraving, not printing......

Officially-printed books do not give the author money, but only use them as a tool to enslave the people and bind the minds of the people, which Liu Xing thinks is very unkind. If you use other people's things, you should give them money!

Private books are very unreliable, and many things recorded in wild and miscellaneous histories are not credible at all, and even many of them are self-contradictory and full of loopholes. Those books will only be passed down for 10,000 years.

The original intention of Liu Xing's promulgation of the "Wheel Chapter" was to stipulate through a chapter that anyone who wrote good articles and poems in the future could receive a basic amount of remuneration set by the government to support his family and even become rich.

But in terms of original intentions, Liu Xing's definition is: Didn't you stinky Confucian students say that I spent money to buy a consultation to participate in politics fakely? Isn't the reason why you are scolding the street is that my council stipulates that you are not allowed to consult with the master and apprentice in the same place, so that you cannot get benefits?

Wow, the master will give you benefits. If you can write good things, the master will pay you to write a book and a biography. But the premise is that you all have to shut up the master, and you can only say things that are beneficial to the master......

However, in the Confucian group, many people are the kind of people who "don't bend their waists for five buckets of rice", and Liu Xing also thought of them.

For those so-called guys who would rather bend than bend, Liu Xing will not be soft.

The "Treatise on Treatises" clearly stipulates that after the arrest of those who talk about the government in vain, the killing of those who slander the officials of the court, and the murder of those who becerate the public, the three generations of their immediate relatives are not allowed to enroll in school or join the army, and they are not allowed to give them land.

At the same time as carrying out the "bribery" to the end, Liu Xing also officially slapped a sweet jujube and clearly defined it with rules and regulations, and in the future, the government will make the decision, and it will be illegal for Confucian scholars to dare to scream nonsense.

As long as you dare to talk nonsense, and then stand at the gate of the city and scold the court when you have nothing to do, there is only one result waiting for you: the family is ruined and the wife is separated. The result of the happiest call will be even worse, three generations don't want to study anymore, even eating will be a problem, and the only hope left is to survive as a slave and a servant.
