With the encouragement of the Son of Heaven, Wen Ban's courage has become much bigger, and his thinking has broadened in an instant.

As a prime minister, although the status of the ban is not high, the information and knowledge he has come into contact with is even more than the 2,000 stone of the local county.

The allusions and stories of this dynasty, the policies and laws of the Han family, and the ban have long been familiar to me, and they can even be memorized backwards.

Now, this knowledge clearly appeared in Wen Ban's mind, and he only recalled it slightly, and sorted out all the laws and instructions on Ma Zheng issued by the Son of Heaven since the founding of the Han Dynasty and the various laws and decrees in the Han law.

He bowed slightly, and with great courage, he said the solution in his heart: "If Your Majesty wants to make the people raise more horses, in the humble opinion of the ministers, you may be able to fake the law of the field, and fake the horses for the officials and civil ......officials."

"Fake horse?" Liu Che showed a meaningful smile: "There is some meaning, please try to understand it in detail!" ”

This person's answer made Liu Che a little surprised, if it weren't for Liu Che's confirmation, his actors did not include this person, and this person would not have the opportunity to contact those actors, then he really suspected that the leak would be a secret.

Wen Ban said: "Today, the country is fake land, and the official field is fake with the people, and the rent and tax are collected every year, and the fields are like this, and the horses and livestock are what the ministers think, and they should be like this!" ”

Liu Che nodded in agreement.

The so-called fake is a loan.

The Han government has always liked to lease state-owned land to landless peasants in order to alleviate social contradictions and protect the people at the bottom.

For example, the current Shanglin Yuan is almost becoming a paradise for landless farmers in Guanzhong.

After Liu Che ascended the throne, he cut the level of land rent in Shanglin Yuan to one-tenth in one go.

Although it is a loss compared to planting one's own land, it is better than being a tenant for others. Even selling oneself is much stronger.

And these measures have been effective.

On the one hand. The state has benefited, with the help of the falsification policy. At present, Shanglinyuan can reclaim at least 10,000 acres of land every year.

On the other hand, the people also got a respite, at least, after bankruptcy, there was such a way to go except to be tenants and slaves.

However, at present, this policy is basically only available to the Chinese peasants.

People in other places. It just depends on luck.

Of course, the resettlement policy introduced last year is, in some respects, a variant and enhanced version of the past falsification policy.

Han people have always been smart, drawing inferences from one another, and their brains are open, which can scare people to death.

About 20 years later, during the reign of Little Pig, the Han family came up with such a fake horse method.

But. Little Pig calls it 'Breath Eleven'

Why is it called 'Breath Eleven'?

Because the core of this policy is to lend horses as a resource, to the people, and after three years to recover the horses as the principal. In addition, the people had to pay interest on the foals of the number of foals produced by the borrowed horses, if there was less than one foal. then it is converted into money, grain, and cloth.

Is this policy good?

Absolutely!

In the early days of implementation, the whole world was jubilant. Everyone scrambled to raise horses and tried their best to borrow horses from the government.

In the first few years of the implementation of the 'Xi 11' policy, there were horses in the streets and alleys. In the "Treatise on Salt and Iron", it is praised that "there are herds of cattle and horses, farmers plough with horses, and the people do not ride".

At that time, although Liu Che did not witness it, from the literal point of view, it was indeed a golden age.

But alas, this golden age lasted too short.

A few years later, the country faced financial difficulties and tight military spending.

After playing the game, the little pig felt that it was still uncomfortable, and wanted to expand its financial resources, so he hit the idea on the 'interest eleven' policy.

First of all, he imposed a tax on six animals.

The so-called six animals, namely horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, pigs, and chickens, are all subject to a uniform tax rate of 2/1,000.

Then, under the pretext that the country had something to do, he levied additional money.

In the end, the original voluntary application to the state for horse breeding has been changed into compulsory apportionment and compulsory collection of interest and horse tax.

Think about it with your ass and think about the consequences of any policy once it becomes a voluntary and compulsory assessment by the state.

Wang Anshi's Qingmiao method and armor protection method were all played bad in this way.

The little pig's breath eleventh naturally can't escape this strange circle.

The government and the officials at all levels have reached into the eleven miles to reap the benefits, and they have increased and levied them layer by layer, and what is even more terrifying is that they have also used the methods used in the collection of field taxes and grains to the interest horse tax - deliberately injuring horses or referring to deer as horses or something.

And then they used it to blackmail and extort the people.

Countless people who originally wanted to make a fortune by raising horses have gone bankrupt, and even their families have been ruined.

As a result, the situation immediately changed from everyone competing to raise horses, to whoever raises a pen.

So much so that in the period of Emperor Zhao, in order to encourage the people to raise horses, 'its stop horses'.

This is undoubtedly the most ironic fact!

With such a lesson from the past, Liu Che naturally knows how to make trade-offs.

Of course, Liu Che also wanted to hear the opinions of the officials of the Han family, especially those at the grassroots level.

They have been at the grassroots level for a long time, are familiar with the people's conditions, are well versed in accidents, and must consider the problem more broadly than him, the emperor who lives in the palace.

For example, they must know what kind of tax rate will ensure that the people have the passion to raise horses without causing the country to suffer.

So, Liu Che asked: "In the opinion of the public, how appropriate is it for fake horses to be taxed?" ”

"The authority of this minister and doctor is also ...... not discussed by ministers," Wen Ban looked at the giants and said modestly with a very familiar understanding.

His answer made the two thousand stones present very comfortable, and they all felt that this person was a talent, and he could be promoted, cultivated, and cultivated.

Even Liu Che sighed, and he had a different view of this guy's cleverness.

The reason is clear.

There are many people who can expand their brains to this point like the ban on literature.

For example, in the Shangshu of Lantai, there are many people with similar ideas.

After all, the Liu family has been playing with fake fields for decades, as long as the emperor has that meaning. The brains are clever and can quickly think of this layer.

But I can put myself in the right position. Even after receiving the emperor's appreciation, he still understood his status. There are very few people who can bend and stretch.

There are many smart people in this world, and there are also many talented people.

However, after doing some achievements, there are many people who have their tails raised to the sky, their heads held high, and only their own eyes are in their eyes.

Why did Feng Tang leave a sigh of 'Feng Tang Yi Lao' in the history books?

The phrase 'contemptible people don't know taboos' should be at least half responsible.

In this world, if you want to succeed, you can't do it without talent.

But there is talent. can't be a man, and if he dies, he will be a technical nerd, a staff member and a think tank.

Only those who are talented, can be a man, know how to advance and retreat, and know the world, can reach the peak of life.

At least for now, in Liu Che's view, this ban has a foundation for success.

Favors. Liu Che has always loved to do.

So, he smiled and said to Prime Minister Zhou Yafu: "Prime Minister, a capable official like Wen Qing, I think." In the future, the prime minister might as well put more burden on them and give them more space to display their talents......"

Zhou Yafu immediately bowed and said: "No, the minister respectfully obeys the edict!" ”

It is forbidden to hear. immediately kowtowed and thanked: "Wei Chen's talent at the end of the inch, how dare he be so praised by His Majesty." In the Prime Minister's Mansion, those who are far more talented than the ministers do not know how many ordinary ......"

Liu Che laughed. ridiculed: "Aiqing, the modesty is a bit too much, this is not good, you should be more confident, more bold, I have always advocated, the scholars and the princesses, lead the people to change the beginning, more advice, more good advice!" ”

was ridiculed by Liu Che like this, and the originally somewhat solemn and tense atmosphere was suddenly diluted a lot.

The ministers relaxed and bowed: "Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers congratulate the world!" ”

This is also what Liu Che wants to see.

Liu Che didn't want today's itinerary to be filled with a lot of anti-corruption and clean government content.

The government and the opposition should concentrate their attention and focus on the reform of the Ma government.

Therefore, he doesn't even talk about the affairs inside the Taifu Yamen now.

These things are handled by the Imperial Commander and the Imperial Doctor.

As the emperor, Liu Che did not need to intervene in it, so as not to set off a huge political turmoil.

"Wen Aiqing said some truth, I will consider Aiqing's opinion, now, Qing will go to the side first, I will ask others, see if there are any different opinions......" Liu Che said with a smile, in fact, because of this ban, Liu Che's Ma Zheng ideological context has been partially shown in front of everyone.

The rest of the people, as long as they don't go well, will understand how to extend on this basis.

Therefore, Liu Che took two steps at will, came to an official who looked to be the imperial historian's yamen, and asked, "Does the public have any opinions and suggestions?" ”

This is an official who is about forty years old, looking at the grade, about a thousand stones, and should be the backbone of the imperial historian's yamen.

Liu Che deliberately chose him just to see if there were any talents to discover under Chao Wrong.

At the same time, it is also mixing sand into the Yamen of the Imperial Historian - at present, under the leadership of Chao Cuo, the Imperial Historian Yamen is becoming more and more inclined to become Chao Cuo's Yiyantang.

That's not good!

In particular, the imperial historian yamen is equivalent to the emperor's eyes, ears, and mouth, and many official things, when the emperor is not suitable to speak, he speaks on his behalf.

If the imperial historian is up and down the yamen, they are all wrong people.

Then the emperor's eyes, ears and mouth will inevitably malfunction sometimes.

Of course, what is more important is that after asking the prime minister, the person who asked the prime minister will naturally give the people of the imperial doctor some opportunities.

It is necessary to let people know that the Son of Heaven is very fair, and he will never make a decision just because of one side of the word, and he can form an image of the Son of Heaven's horse politics in public opinion that has been unanimously supported and embraced by the government and the opposition.

This is of great benefit to the implementation and implementation of the policy.

If it was just the emperor himself, he would make a decision as soon as he slapped his ass.

When the people below are executing, it is inevitable that they will disobey the yang and the yin, and even brush the means and grind the foreign work.

However, if the policy is introduced after consulting with everyone.

Then, whoever dares to mistreat will be against the world and the world.

Similar to this kind of face-saving tricks, Liu has always been extremely proficient.

"The minister holds the book and the imperial Shi Yuan, and he dies to play His Majesty's ......" Xu is an example of the ban, and this person is more confident and generous. After a pause, he bowed: "The minister thinks that what the former literary and historical officials said." Maybe it's not unreasonable, it's just. The law of the minister is also not dedicated to his duties, and he does not say a word, but the minister only uses the law to try to say it for His Majesty! ”

Liu Che nodded, holding the book of imperial history, in the Han system, its authority is limited.

According to the regulations: holding the book and the imperial history, the law is in charge of the right and wrong.

To put it simply. It's the Judicial Interpretation Officer.

Of course, the Han family did not have judicial interpretations and supreme judges.

Therefore, the duty of the book-bearer of the imperial history is generally to help the imperial historian and the imperial historian to understand the law and provide advice for the formulation of the law.

In history, to the period of Emperor Xuan, the history of holding books ushered in an era of rise.

Emperor Xuan reused the imperial history of the state and regarded them as experts in the laws of the state. He often listened to and accepted the opinions of the book-bearers, and as a result, the book-holding gosher's history was renamed the Shiyushi and became a giant. can even compete with Jiuqing.

Today, their status is still very low, only 600 stones.

But in general. A person who is qualified to hold a book on the laws and past policies. They are all people who know each other very well.

The reason why these people are not taken seriously is also very simple - they stay in the archives every day, unless they are called by their superiors. Otherwise, squatting in the archives to study the law and policy, the ghost will know who they are?

Generally in the Han Dynasty, the book-holding imperial history is hereditary, just like the Taishi official.

The grandfather is a book-holder, the father is a book-holder, and the son is also a book-holder, and there are many cases.

These people are well-known diehards and elm heads in the Han family, even within the Legalists, and not many people like them.

But the nobles of the old Huang school respect these people very much.

Therefore, their lives are not too bad.

He was often invited by some old Huang nobles to be a tutor to teach his children and study law.

Liu Che didn't expect that he would click on a book-holding imperial history with a little bit of hand, and he couldn't help but sigh a little, his luck was too good!

Liu Che doesn't like to hold books very much.

The reason is that at the beginning of his previous life, when he was grounded, the emperor's father sent a book-holding imperial history to tell him about the etiquette system for half a month, and his head was about to explode.

Therefore, since his accession to the throne, Liu Che has never summoned any of the scholars to explain the past and present life and evolution of the Han law to him.

However, the book-bearers do not seem to have forgotten this mission at all.

Therefore, seizing the opportunity, he appeared around Liu Che.

Today, they finally got their chance.

Liu Che couldn't help it, knowing that he couldn't hide this time, so he had to say: "Please try it!" ”

"No!" The man bowed again, and then said: "In the past, Emperor Gao ordered Xiao Xiangguo to set the law, and the thief law said: Thieves kill and injure people and livestock, and thieves have the same law!" Emperor Taizong decreed: Death, killing, and injury to livestock are all ordered to be compensated with peace! In the ninth year, dogs were forbidden to enter the garden, injuring livestock, and the minister thought that the law added to cattle, horses and livestock was still too little and too light, not enough to deter adultery and protect the people's livestock. ”

Hearing him say this, Liu Che also remembered.

This is indeed a loophole in the current Chinese law.

At this time, the state's protection of important strategic livestock such as cattle and horses is indeed a little soft.

As a result, some folk rangers deliberately kill and injure the cattle, horses and sheep of the people and the government, and then drop some money and drag the corpses back to have a full meal, and even the behavior of stealing cattle and sheep among the people has become a common practice in some places.

Foodies don't care about the law in order to eat, let alone this soft, deterrent law.

Liu Che nodded and said to him: "Aiqing's opinion is exactly what I want!" Prime Minister and Imperial Doctor, after going back, discuss it and come up with stricter and stricter laws, what I mean - in the future, cattle thieves will die, horse thieves will increase, and malicious injuries to people and livestock will be compensated with three times the level, and those who are unintentionally injured will be compensated with peace! ”

This is natural, in Chinese history, the protection of cattle and horses will continue to increase in the future, and even the slaughter of cattle and horses will be banned for a time.

Moreover, to encourage the people to raise cattle and horses, it is natural to give them a supporting insurance measure.

Simple, brutal, and direct use of capital crime as a deterrent is more effective than all propaganda and legal education.

"No!" Zhou Yafu and Chao Cuo nodded immediately.

And Liu Che's shadow on the profession of holding books and imperial history has not been eliminated so far.

Therefore, he immediately skipped the topic, snorted, shifted the target, and ran to ask the others.

In this way, Liu Che asked about four or five more people, and from all aspects and angles, they all received enough voices and opinions of support. (To be continued.) )
