Section 696 Struggle for power and profit

Wu Yuan and Taixue have finished their work, and it is finally their turn to take the lead, and it is also the focus of attention of the ministers of the Shuowang Dynasty this time - the establishment of the lord Duwei Yamen and the adjustment of the system of arbitrary power of the county and state of the world.

Liu Che looked at the courtiers, pondered for a moment, and then made an opening remark, saying: "I read the history books, and saw that in the Spring and Autumn Period of the past, Qi and Chu fought for hegemony, and Heng Gong suffered from the strength of Chu soldiers, so Guan Yiwu offered a plan to buy deer, with 20 million money, it was a defeat of Chu Division!" Jia Changsha said: The past does not forget the teacher of the future, and the elders in the township also said: Take history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall; Take people as a reference, and know the gains and losses! Qing and other scholars, doctors, and princes, are all virtuous and virtuous literature, clear in etiquette and music, familiar with the scriptures, there must be someone who can teach me, please write it in the article, I will read it in person! ”

The story of Guan Zhong's purchase of a deer is the most classic example of economic penetration in classical China. It may also be the first example of economic warfare in human history.

Under the leadership of Guan Zhong's policy, the state of Qi successfully disintegrated the economy of the state of Chu with only 20 million dollars.

made the state of Chu, which could have competed with the state of Qi for hegemony, fall into the quagmire of economic crisis, and could not extricate itself, and in the end, the soldiers of the state of Qi did not fight bloodlessly, so that the state of Chu succumbed.

This classic case and story was recorded in Guan Zhong's book "Guanzi. Light and heavy".

At this time, Guan Zhong's position is also very ingenious.

Nominally, Guan Zhong should be classified into the category of Legalism, that is, it is okay to say that he is the pioneer of Legalism.

But in fact, the book "Guanzi" was classified as the foundation and theoretical source of the economic policy of the Huang Lao School.

However, on the other hand, Confucianism also admits it. The pipe is a sage and a great power to learn and learn from.

Confucius himself admired Guan Zhong very much.

Thereupon. This has resulted in hundreds of mainstream schools of thought. All of them are admired by Guan Zhong.

Regardless of factions, their economic policies and theories will inevitably draw nourishment from the 85 articles of "Guanzi".

As for the princes in power, if anyone has not read the pipe, then he is basically not worthy of being a minister.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Che said it, the big guy immediately came up with the original record of Guan Zhong's purchase of the deer in his mind, and even other articles under the light and heavy articles also popped up word by word.

And in the whole text, the pipe is always emphasizing one thing.

This thing. In the original text: accumulate lightly, scatter and heavy.

Generally speaking, it is to use the power of the state to regulate the rise and fall of prices, and to achieve the purpose of manipulating the world's prices and adjusting people's livelihood through administrative orders and the state's macroeconomic regulation and control.

This is why Liu Che played the grain protection price policy and the salt and iron official policy, and no one could criticize it theoretically and morally.

Tubes, hundreds of years ago. Similar theoretical policies have been proposed and implemented.

In today's world, even the most arrogant people dare not say that they are stronger than Guan Zhong economically!

And the smart man heard Liu Che say this. Immediately heard the string song and knew the meaning of Yayi, and knew Liu Che's thoughts.

The big farmer was a businessman, and immediately came out and said: "The one who managed to destroy my past will take 20 million dollars." And let the Chu division disperse, so that Heng Gong dominated the world. His Majesty saw the subtleties and valued the world with millet salt and iron. Take the government of the sages and use it in the world, this minister and other fools can't reach it, and Henggong can't be as far as it is! Congratulations to the world! His Majesty ordered the ministers to discuss the gains and losses of buying deer, and it is the opinion of the Holy King, His Majesty Fu Wei can move the Yin and Yang, and see thousands of miles! ”

Countless people who have been filmed by this sycophant have sideways glances, shocked, and jumped - damn it, grab my line script!

Shang Rong was upright, and then played: "In the humble opinion of the ministers, Your Majesty will establish the government of Su Salt and Iron, and benefit the world with hundreds of millions of trillion Lishu, and Aneng will no longer establish a new policy, and will supervise the world's businessmen, hold the right to inspect the vehicles, ships and mines of the Jia people, and the responsibility of supervising the county and Guoping Jia's unauthorized authority. ”

Shang Rong took a step forward and bowed: "The minister respectfully says, 'Please set up the lord and the commander to control the world's merchants', Your Majesty Fu Wei's royal view!" ”

Liu Che looked at Shang Rong with a very satisfied smile on his face.

Ever since he let out the wind and wanted to make the lord and lieutenant, he had been waiting for that clever courtier to take the initiative to come forward with such a suggestion.

Liu Che originally thought that he would have to agitate and agitate before someone would take the initiative.

Unexpectedly, this merchant is so knowledgeable that he doesn't need to mobilize, so he wrote a note by himself.

Yes, it's not in vain that I'm promoted and cultivated.

With Shang Rong taking the lead, the others also threw away their discipline and quickly followed up - since the first crab was not eaten, it was even more necessary to stand in line.

I can't fight against the Son of Heaven, and I can't leave the impression in the heart of the Son of Heaven that 'so-and-so is wrong with me, and I always like to do it'.

Especially the chief officer of the priests around the thousand stones.

For these people, their promotions, appointments, dismissals, and future prospects are all dependent on the joy and anger of Liu Che, the emperor.

Offending the emperor is tantamount to self-exclusion.

The example of Feng Tang, a famous minister in the previous generation, taught these people very well, not to confront, let alone offend the emperor.

Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, you will have to go around in the county.

Want to go back to the center? Dream on!

But the thoughts of the two thousand stones are different.

When the official reaches 2,000 stones, he has already entered the protection range of the Han family's 'general will not be dishonored'.

Even if the emperor hated them again, he would devolve to the place if he died.

The two thousand stone courtiers were decentralized, and the starting point was at least the local county guard.

Even the people who are most hated by the emperor can get an official position similar to the princes, princes, princesses, and prime ministers, and talk about masturbation.

When the first emperor was the emperor, Zhang Shizhi, the former court captain, offended the first emperor like that, and he couldn't become the prime minister of the princes?

Of course, under normal circumstances, no courtier with two thousand stones is willing to fight the emperor for something irrelevant, let alone deliberately confront the emperor.

However, if the benefits and benefits involved in something are too great.

Surely someone is willing to take a little risk.

For example, Shaofu Liu She has no doubt about the big farmer, so he must be willing to 'argue with reason' on the issue of the lord and the captain.

vowed to turn this yamen into one of the subordinates of his yamen.

And the bureaucrats of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Historian's Yamen are also eyeing each other.

Under the Han family system, the prime minister and the imperial historian Yamen. overlapping in many terms of authority, among each other. It is even more open and secret.

Theoretically, the prime minister is in charge of the world's military affairs. The bull's ear of the hundred officials is the highest-ranking minister under the Son of Heaven.

But the imperial historian is not bad, as a sub-prime minister, he supervises hundreds of officials, holds the power of impeachment, and has the right to punish and kill the law of the document catalogue.

Therefore, historically, a new yamen has been established. The prime minister and the imperial historian yamen will compete with each other, even if this new yamen is only in charge of municipal garbage disposal......

Not to mention that the lord and the captain are so obviously rich and powerful, and they can influence the institutions of the world!

Without that bureaucracy, there would be no desire for more power.

It can even be said that, if possible, the bureaucracy will seize every opportunity it can seize and take power for itself.

As for what to do after gaining power? We'll talk about it then.

In a word. Seize the power first, the most important!

As a result, there was a very rare scene in the hall since the Han Dynasty:

Saw. After the discussion, Zhao Hu, one of Liu She's right-hand men and one of the six Shaofu ministers in charge of Shaofu garden and fake field affairs, came out and said: "Your Majesty is well aware of the righteousness. Jiatianxia Li Shu has been greatly favored since Yuande. There are countless good governance, and so far hundreds of thousands of dollars have been banned from the inner treasury to Zhenyuan. Caring for orphans and widows, respecting the elderly, repairing channels, building waterwheels, implementing the policy of Ansu (grain protection price) with salt and iron, and raising armaments, the whole six divisions. Virtue is the common people, Ze and birds and beasts, and now with the story of the sages, teach the minister, this minister can not reach the foolishness, but although the minister is stupid, but the minister's loyalty and righteousness are endless, I would like to play to "please add the treasury financial power to benefit the society", His Majesty Fu Wei Shenglan! ”

Blind people know that this Zhao Huming is to include the lord and the lieutenant yamen into the Shaofu system.

Otherwise, what is he doing so much?

Isn't it just to show that our Shaofu has paid a lot and done a lot, and in terms of finance, we are experts.

Leave the professional matters to the experts!

The big farmer immediately couldn't bear it.

Another big farmer Zhongcheng, the undoubted henchman Fan Xun immediately jumped out, holding a note, and worshipped: "The minister is training to die to play Your Majesty: since Your Majesty has benefited from salt and iron, with a policy of light and heavy, to benefit the common people, the big farmers have been loyal to the king with the heart of death, and set up a salt and iron division in the county, relying on the authority of Your Majesty, the spirit of the society, and the ministers have worked hard, so far more than 1,300 salt and iron officials have been added to the county in the world, and more than 1,300 salt and iron officials have been established, and 35 salt and iron official residences have been established!" Today, when I heard His Majesty's hadiths, ministers' precepts, etc., I was sincerely afraid, and I was on the "Please Benefit the Treasury Shu...... His Majesty Fuwei's Holy Judgment! ”

Then Fan Xun looked at Zhao Hu with a smile, and the provocative taste in this couldn't be clearer.

Didn't you Shaofu say that you are experts?

Aren't we big farmers experts then?

Do you know how to play finances and manage money?

Phew!

What's more, when it comes to local operations and the ability to lay networks in the county, especially the influence of the Wuchuqilu region, can your Shaofu compare to our big farmers?

Besides, as the steward of the Inner Library of the Son of Heaven, you can help Your Majesty manage the Shanglin Garden, the royal gardens, and the workshops with peace of mind.

Okay, the big farmer and the Shaofu are singing against each other directly!

This made the other onlookers enthusiastic, if it weren't for the Xuanshu Palace, some people would even want to shout and cheer.

And the two sides, although they are not the chief officials of the Shaofu and the big farmers, they are also not small.

Fan Xun belongs to the scholar class, although he was born as a sword and pen officer, but now in the Han family, most of the scholars and doctors are from the sword and pen officials, so there is no question of who is more noble than whom.

Therefore, when the scholars and doctors saw it, of course, they voted with their feet and supported the training.

Anyway, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement, waving the flag and shouting, anyone will do it.

As for Zhao Hu?

This official with the same name as the prince of Nanyue is the son of a liehou.

His grandfather was a blessed general in the Han family, and Shen Ze waited for Zhao Jiang at night.

Shenze waits for this country, there are not many food towns, only 700 households.

But the first prince Zhao Jiangye was a legendary figure among the heroes of the Han family.

Zhao Jiangye was in the Han Dynasty for three years before surrendering to the Han army camp, and it was Han Xin who surrendered.

This would have been impossible to be a marquis, let alone get the position of a founding hero.

However, the so-called lucky general is no matter what difficulties and obstacles. can't help it.

After surrendering to Han Xin, Zhao Jiangye first followed Han Xin to beat his former master. King Zhao opened his ears and swept Qi Chu again.

And then. His luck came, he followed Emperor Gao to Pingcheng, and he also performed well in Pingcheng, so he fell into Liu Bang's eyes and worshiped Shen Zehou.

Later, Han Xin knelt, Liu Bang hung up, and Zhao Jiang had no backer at night. After Empress Lu came to power, he found an excuse to take away his fiefdom.

It was only three years later that the political situation changed again, and out of the need to win people's hearts, Empress Lu restored Zhao Jiangye's title.

However, at this time, Zhao Jiangye was very dissatisfied with Empress Lu's strangulation of Gaozu's heirs, and often complained in private to criticize Empress Lu. He was also extremely dissatisfied with Zhulu's domineering.

So, a year later, it was abolished again.

Originally, many people thought that Shen Ze was waiting for **** this time.

However, years later. Empress LΓΌ died, Zhu LΓΌ was liquidated, and the acting king entered Chang'an from the country.

Thereupon. Zhao Jiangye's complaints and dissatisfaction back then became an example for loyal ministers.

The Fukasawa Candidate State was established again.

As a result, Fukasawa Hou became the prince with the most ups and downs in the history of the Han Dynasty. It is also known as the blessed general, the period of Emperor Taizong Xiaowen. Because of the name of Fu Jiang, Zhao Jiangye once served as the Yanmen County Warden and Guangluxun and other positions.

The most important thing is that during this period, Zhao Jiangye and the Dou family had a marriage.

Zhao Jiangye's youngest daughter married Nanpihou Dou Pengzu, and she can be regarded as a member of the Dou family's relatives group.

Although Zhao Hu is not the prince of Shenze, he is also relatively close to the Dou family.

His wife is Dou Ying's sister, a relative of the emperor.

So the Dou family's relatives group was naturally willing to sell face to Zhao Hu.

Nanpi waited for Dou Pengzu, and sent a few younger brothers out to give Zhao Hu a platform.

Here, the big farmer and the Shaofu quarreled, and over there, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Imperial Doctor Yamen quarreled again.

It's just that in the end, it is the only two Sangong Yamen, and this decency and method still have to be talked about.

Under normal circumstances, the Prime Minister and the Imperial Doctor will consult on national affairs to coordinate the positions of the two sides and bridge their differences.

After all, if this prime minister and the imperial doctor openly dismantle each other, the impact will be too bad!

The emperor will never sit idly by and watch such a situation happen, the emperor will definitely intervene strongly, and strong intervention will only have one end - both sides will go home to farm.

However, if it is said that the Prime Minister's Mansion will love each other with the Imperial Historian Yamen, it is also impossible.

The original intention of setting up the Imperial Doctor was to balance the power of the prime minister, so that the power of the prime minister would not be outrageous.

Therefore, the negotiation between Zhou Yafu and Chao Cuo did not go smoothly.

The two giants exchanged opinions through text, but they were never able to reach an agreement.

The Prime Minister's Office felt that as the Prime Minister, it was natural that he had the authority to govern all the Yamen.

It's Shaofu, don't you have to give us a report before you do something?

This lord is of course under my jurisdiction and supervision.

But Chao Cuo felt that the prime minister was too ugly. I eat meat by myself, and I don't even give me a sip of soup, my uncle can bear it, and my aunt can't bear it!

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the future authority and weight of this lord and captain will be very important.

Anyone with ambition or political ambition will not give up the possibility of putting his hand in it.

But this situation made the people who participated in the court meeting for the first time Pingjia dumbfounded.

One by one, they complained in their hearts: "Han official prestige, we just heard about it before, but we didn't want to, it's really ......"

Well, back then, when Emperor Gao, the prime minister took the lead in a brawl at the court meeting, and the story of Emperor Taishang personally bringing his servants to fight with others was a long-standing gossip topic in the Han family.

Well, it continues to erupt today~!
