"Does the prime minister have any opinions?" Liu Che looked at Zhou Yafu with a sincere face and asked.

For Zhou Yafu, Liu Che never thought that he could make him bow his head with a plan to immigrate to military management.

If Zhou Yafu can bow his head so lightly, then he is not Zhou Yafu anymore.

In the history of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Yafu was like an outlier.

He even went on a hunger strike to die in the end.

How can such a person compromise because of the exchange of interests?

Liu Che chose to talk about immigration first, in fact, he just hoped that Zhou Yafu would listen to his analysis and arguments on the issue of salt and iron.

Otherwise, if the other party doesn't even listen, they will have a preconceived idea, then, even if they say dry saliva, it is estimated that it will have no effect.

Zhou Yafu hesitated for a while, and countless thoughts flashed in his heart.

To be honest, whether the salt and iron government was privately run or not, the imperial court allowed the people to mint money, and whether the merchant class was reasonable or not, these questions had no impact on the princely class of the Han family.

The largest source of the princes' income is the feudal feudal rent.

Their relationship with the businessmen is not very close, at most, they have some friendship with the big families in Guanzhong.

As for the merchants of the Kanto region......

The loose economic and financial policies of the Han dynasty for more than 50 years made the merchants of the Kwantung region not need the protection of the court bigwigs.

For the big businessmen, since I gave money, the court may not take care of me, and if I don't give money, the court may not hit me, so why should I take the cutie in my pocket to others?

Therefore, the merchants of the early and middle Han dynasty were running wild on the road of death on the one hand, and on the other hand. But there is no one to manage the power of the imperial court and buy the umbrella.

Under the care of the inaction of the old Huang school of the Han Dynasty, their wealth and land increased dramatically.

Until Confucianism and Legalism came to power. It was only when they were sharpening their knives that they remembered to look for an umbrella. But alas, it was too late.

Temporarily cramming, can only be slaughtered as a pig!

Therefore, when Zhou Yafu is considering the issue of salt and iron now, he basically does not think from the perspective of businessmen.

Whether the merchants are dead or alive has nothing to do with him.

More importantly, in China, whether it was in the past or present, in the next two thousand years, the government and mainstream public opinion have refused to recognize the status and contribution of businessmen.

City people. It's just a cheap household, and it's a messy thing, and it's embarrassing to be surnamed Zhao?

Even the businessmen themselves felt the same way......

In the past 50 years, after countless businessmen have developed, they do not want to whitewash the reputation of merchants, but spend huge sums of money to send their children and grandchildren to Chang'an. sent to the emperor to serve, hoping to be an official.

Once the children of their own family come out, the whole family will immediately abandon the business. spent most of his net worth and settled in Chang'an.

Therefore, for Zhou Yafu. The key to this matter is: will it cause turmoil in the world after the salt and iron official camp?

To know. Nine out of ten of the Kwantung princes lived on the profits of salt and iron.

Moved the cheese of the princes and kings. What if these guys jump off the wall in a hurry?

Also, when it comes to Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, no matter what happens, Zhou Yafu has to think twice.

He was single-handedly promoted by Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, and he knew the kindness of the encounter, and he could not repay it.

It's just that......

If the resettlement policy proposed by the Son of Heaven is really feasible.

That is the merit in the present and the benefit in the future.

Not to mention, after the resettlement is settled, I don't know how many people can be fed by the developed land.

More importantly, immigration greatly strengthened the Han family's control over Liaodong, Liaoxi, and the new territories of Korea, and at the same time, it also strengthened the Han family's national defense.

With so many benefits, Zhou Yafu felt that he had no reason to object.

"Let's see what His Majesty said first......" Zhou Yafu thought to himself.

Immediately, he bowed his head and said: "Shengming has no past His Majesty, and the minister is the first to be the first, and I respectfully serve the edict of His Majesty!" ”

As for Chao Cuo, as soon as Zhou Yafu's words fell, he immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the imperial historian and the yamen should also participate in the matter of entering this cantonment and immigration, and all the cantonment armies should supervise the imperial history to supervise the lawlessness!" ”

Compared with Zhou Yafu, Chao Cuo has a much stronger bureaucratic flavor in him.

For the same thing, Zhou Yafu is thinking about the overall situation, the whole world, and future generations.

But Chao Cuo only thought about the interests of his own imperial historian yamen, as well as his own authority.

But Chao is not wrong.

Anything needs supervision.

The Ming Dynasty's guard system was originally very good, but it lost its supervision, and finally degenerated into tens of millions of guards on paper.

Liu Che nodded and agreed: "What the Imperial Doctor said is very agreeable, after the Qing goes back, he will draw up a schedule with the Imperial History and others, and then submit it to the court for discussion!" ”

"No!" Chao Cuo bowed his head, and his heart was really overjoyed!

The key to whether a leader of any yamen can convince the public lies in whether he can get benefits and positions for his subordinates.

If the Son of Heaven's resettlement plan is implemented, at least hundreds of superintendents will need to take turns to supervise and inspect.

These more than 100 positions are enough to use them to establish their prestige.

Liu Che waved his hand and moved on to the next topic.

The migration is a long-term plan, and even if the first batch of immigrants is organized at the court meeting, it is estimated that it will not take place until this summer.

For the time being, this matter does not need to be discussed in detail.

But there is one problem, Liu Che must reach an agreement with the two important ministers now.

The problem is the problem of killing!

Now that winter has arrived, the killing season has arrived.

The Han dynasty was different from the dynasties after the Sui and Tang dynasties, and even from the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The laws of the Han dynasty gave the local magistrates the power to execute prisoners.

In the Han Dynasty, most of the condemned prisoners did not need to be reported to the Son of Heaven, and the magistrates themselves could be killed.

What's even more troublesome is that the Han law stipulates that when the magistrate tortures a prisoner, except for the corporal punishment that Emperor Taizong has expressly abolished, other punishments can be used as he pleases.

Generally speaking, it is not a matter for magistrates to flog prisoners, or even to maim prisoners to death.

Back then, Zhou Bo was imprisoned in Tingwei and almost lost half of his life.

The historical Han Anguo also has a story of resurrection.

These top aristocratic bureaucrats of 2,000 or even 10,000 stones are still being made to death by the jailers, let alone the common people?

In the historical records, Wang Wenshu once sighed: It would be nice if the winter was a little longer.

Yizong also committed murder to the point that everyone in the county was terrified, and the blood of the powerful in the county was stained red.

What's even more troublesome is that the local county guards of the Han family regard killing as a political achievement.

Under such circumstances, all kinds of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases are naturally inevitable.

But as the emperor, Liu Che couldn't let these guys kill people indiscriminately.

Moreover, one of the characteristics of centralization is that the emperor has the right to review the death penalty.

The so-called life and death are all in the hands of the Son of Heaven.

Like now, the magistrate can decide to kill people by himself, which is too unscientific for Liu Che.

Moreover, it is not conducive to the authoritarianism of the central power of the Han family. (To be continued......) R1292
