Section 584 Militarism
The matter of the resettlement was discussed for three whole days.
But three days later, when Liu Che returned to Chang'an to participate in the June Shuowang Dynasty meeting, he already had a thick pile of specific regulations and implementation rules in his hands.
These things, of course, have not been discussed in the last three days.
As a matter of fact, the policy of resettlement and the relevant implementation rules have gone through more than a dozen rounds of persecution and debate in the court.
As early as last year, Liu Che's think tank, the scholars of Lantai, had already worked hard to formulate relevant laws and detailed rules for resettlement and immigration.
In the past six months alone, in order to demarcate the reclamation area and investigate the local geography, the Lantai side has sent more than 300 inspection groups and 15 wind collection groups to Liaodong County, Xinhua County, and the Korean region.
More than 100,000 words of explanatory text about the local geography, rivers and lakes were brought back, and more than 1,000 maps were surveyed.
This allowed Liu Che and the ministers of the imperial court to clearly understand through these words and maps that the local geography and climate of Liaodong, Xinhua and North Korea provided first-hand reference materials for the formulation of policies.
In the past three days, the main work of the Lantai scholars was actually to sort out the relevant matters discussed in the court in the past and the opinions of all parties.
Then, Liu Che personally looked at it and set the tone.
The main purpose of returning to Chang'an this time and presiding over the Shuowang Dynasty Meeting is to make a ruling for the forces of the government and the opposition that have been torn apart for more than half a year.
This is also the emperor's job.
The ministers discussed the issue - the emperor made the final decision and gave the final result.
Of course, this process still needs to fully show the people's cooking, and it is necessary to make the emperor seem to respect and value the opinions of the sages in the court and the wild scholars.
Just like when Liu Che's father cut the feudal domain, even the princes and kings can fully express their opinions and suggestions on this matter......
It's just that the result is doomed.
The will of the emperor decides everything.
After returning to Chang'an. Liu Che lived in the greenhouse hall, and then immediately ordered someone to summon Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and Imperial Doctor Chao Cuo.
The three of them deliberated behind closed doors for a whole afternoon, and it was not until dusk that the closed-door meeting was over.
After the meeting, when Zhou Yafu and Chao Cuo returned to their respective homes, instantly. They ushered in a large wave of representatives from all walks of life, listening to the tone.
Especially Zhou Yafu's house is the most lively.
At least a dozen princes and seven or eight generals visited in person.
These people stayed at Zhou Yafu's house until the time (after 9 o'clock in the evening) before they dispersed.
The next day, when the rooster crowed, Liu Che had just woken up, and the report of the embroidered clothes guard had already been delivered to him.
casually flipped through the events that happened last night recorded by the embroidered guard, and Liu Che didn't care.
The Taizu of the Celestial Dynasty has said that there is no party in the party, and there is no faction in the party with imperial thoughts. Strange.
Within any political entity, it is inevitable to form gangs and cliques to keep warm.
In particular, if the two positions of prime minister and imperial historian could not have rallied a group of supporters around him, they would have been hollowed out long ago, and it would be impossible for them to achieve any achievements.
Liu Che was very tolerant of Zhou Yafu and Chao Cuo's respective gangs, just letting people bury a few nails in a small group of two people. Stay on top at all times, as long as they don't conspire against themselves. Liu Che didn't bother to care.
Of course, in case a day later, I tore my face with these two guys.
Today's things that Zhou Yafu and Chao Cuo secretly discussed with others at night can become evidence of the crime......
Well, the rulers are so shameless.
After breakfast, Liu Che was served by Yiwu. After putting on the crown, then looking at a pair of children who were still asleep, and kissing the two pink little ones on the cheeks, Liu Che went to the Chengming Hall to prepare to preside over the court meeting.
Chengming Hall in the history of the Han Dynasty. It is second only to the place of political activity in the temple of the Throne.
The word Chengming is enough to explain its status in the Weiyang Palace complex.
Liu Xiang, a literary scholar in the late Western Han Dynasty, once commented on the meaning of the Chengming Palace in his book "Shuo Yuan": The bed of the king of the text is called the left and right road bed, what is the Chengming? It is said that the one who is behind the Ming Hall.
Therefore, it can be seen from this that the Chengming Hall is actually the emperor's road bed (main bed).
However, at this time, the three-bedroom system handed down from the Zhou Dynasty has actually existed in name only.
In the Han Dynasty, it became a name for Liu Bangzong's temple and mausoleum.
The road bed, because the pressure is too high, the emperors of all dynasties do not like to live, but it was originally just a small bed where the concubines lived, and it became a place where the emperor often lived.
Therefore, gradually, the Chengming Hall became the place where the Emperor of the Han Dynasty held the most meetings and court meetings in addition to the Xuanshu Palace.
In later generations, Xin Qiji wrote in his lyrics: In the middle of the night, I wanted to be Ming, and I stayed to teach and see the grass, but I sent it to the side. In this way, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the small regime of the Southern Song Dynasty.
But in fact, as the emperor's road bed, the Chengming Hall is still very comfortable and spacious, and even has a scale no less than the Xuanshu Hall - its main hall can accommodate more than 500 people.
This is also normal, after all, the word road, in the Zhou Dynasty, itself is connected with big and wide.
In many ancient texts, roads, large, and wide can be used to communicate with each other.
However, the Chengming Palace, after Liu Che ascended the throne, was opened for the first time, as the place of the Shuowang Dynasty, therefore, the eunuchs and subordinates in the palace had to start preparing four or five days in advance - the last time the Chengming Hall was opened, it was in the first year after Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, and it has been nine years ago.
In that year, it was in the Chengming Palace that Liu Che's grandfather promulgated the famous "Edict of the People" in history.
This edict may not be familiar to many people.
But it doesn't matter, you just need to know that in the history of the Han Dynasty, this "Edict of the People" and the "Edict of Ordering Two Thousand Stone Cultivators" promulgated by Liu Che's father in history and the "Edict of Seeking Mao Cai" of Little Pig are collectively known as the Three Edicts of the Xinghan Dynasty.
These three edicts in the history of the Western Han Dynasty, just like the Taizu Thought, Taizu Theory, and Shizong Representative of the Celestial Empire, constitute the basic guiding theoretical ideology of the Western Han Dynasty politics.
It's just a pity. Like the thought of Taizu of the Celestial Dynasty, after the Zhaoxuan, the "Edict of the People" almost became an empty theory and slogan, which was only used as a faΓ§ade when the emperor sacrificed to his ancestors every year, and even most bureaucrats. will try to avoid making this edict known as much as possible.
Of course, Liu Che would not allow such a thing to continue to happen.
Therefore, when the Chengming Hall was decided to be the meeting place of the New Moon Dynasty, Liu Che immediately ordered that the Shaofu should be engraved on both sides of the steps in front of the Chengming Palace.
The content of this edict is not long, and the full text is 119 words in total.
Like most of Liu Che's grandfather's edicts, this edict is particular about the wording. The writing is smooth and easy to understand, and what is even more rare is that there is not a single word in the whole text that is empty and superfluous, and there is no false big emptiness.
Pointing directly at the maladministration of the bureaucratic system and the difficulties of the people's lives, he stressed that the bureaucrats must feed the people and cannot do what they can't. You can fuck off.
Liu Che stepped on the steps, holding the Sword of the Son of Heaven. Illuminated by the blazing fires on both sides of the stairs, look at the full text of the edict engraved on both sides of the stairs.
"True Son of Heaven, it should be like this!" Liu Che looked at it and sighed in a low voice: "I should also start promulgating a similar programmatic edict to establish the national policy and basic guiding ideology!" β
"This year is the ninth anniversary of the promulgation of Emperor Taizong's Emperor Xiaowen's "Edict of the People", which is extremely numerous, and it has ordered more than 400 stones in the world. Review the Hadith of Taizong, each according to his own actions, the township road newspaper and the county, the county newspaper and the county, the county country two thousand stones. Played in the prime minister, the prime minister played directly in front of me, there is something to say, especially its elders, I will see it in person! After sighing, Liu Che instructed Ji Di, who was on the left and right, and ordered him to record the edict and announce it to the world.
Such a move, in later generations, is commonplace, when did the Celestial Empire not hold a seminar to study the various theories of Taizu Taizong Shizong Zhongzong?
But now, it is the first time that with the power of the state and the prestige of the emperor, he has called on officials all over the world to study and implement an ideological theory.
What the effect is, Liu Che is not clear.
But at least it's better than doing nothing!
Maybe you'll find some talent!
After thinking about it, Liu Che felt that since this thing had been done, he would simply do it all.
So, he instructed Ji Di again: "After the Shuowang Dynasty meeting begins, Qing will lead me to accompany me and 55 people to sing Taizong's "Edict of the People", so that all the officials and scholars in the world will know what I mean!" β
"No!" Ji Di nodded in understanding.
So, when the courtiers who participated in the Shuowang Dynasty gathered in front of the Chengming Palace, they were all taken aback.
The words engraved on both sides of the front steps of the hall are not unfamiliar to many people, and some people even shed tears of excitement when they look at these words.
Especially with the veterans of Tejin and Zhou Yafu and others.
For them, it has been five years since Emperor Taizong Xiaowen died.
But this Son of Heaven seems to have never left them, and has been inspiring and spurring them to work hard for the strength and prosperity of the Han family.
Therefore, the prime minister waited for Shen Tujia and even almost sobbed.
However, there are also many people who feel that these words are too harsh.
It is really this edict that ruthlessly uncovers a thing that many bureaucrats are unwilling to mention and refuse to face: the world is in good weather, the imperial court has repeatedly reduced the burden and tax rate of the people, and the emperor is reluctant to even build a pavilion, why are there still people hungry? Why are there still farmers going bankrupt? Why is there such a thing, all over the world?
Is it the emperor that I am not frugal enough? Or is someone making trouble with it?
Obviously, it is clear to many people what is the answer to this question?
Exorbitant taxes, apportionment and exploitation, and the wanton annexation of land by big landlords and big bureaucrats, forced buying and selling.
Nine years ago, after Emperor Taizong issued this edict, many people had to restrain their actions and movements.
But it was only convergence, and after Emperor Taizong died, the old state soon germinated, and even intensified!
Now, nine years later, this edict is being laid out again today.
What does that mean?
Many people shudder in their hearts!
Some people even shivered a little when they walked.
They know very well that if they really want to squeeze this pustule out at any cost today, then they will have to travel to Tingwei Prison.
And today, I definitely have the ability and strength to squeeze through this!
Under the examination system, there is no shortage of people in the Han family to fill the government.
Killing them will not paralyze the regime, but on the contrary, it will make the officialdom more dynamic.
And after the prophecy of April. When the Son of the Present Day proves that he is indeed destined to return to heaven and is blessed by the gods, all the means and resistance available to the bureaucracy are rendered null and void!
Any person or group of people or groups that dare to confront the Son of Heaven is tantamount to confronting the will of Heaven.
What is the end of this?
What Confucius said is obvious: if you are guilty of sin, there is nothing to pray for!
The powerful and ruthless Han army will teach people to be people with swords.
As for the position of the army?
Fools can see it. Now the army is up and down, and they are all brains of the Son of Heaven.
Especially the grassroots officers and non-commissioned officers, as soon as the Son of Heaven gives an order, they can scream, regardless of it, even if there are mountains of swords and fires in front of them, and cliffs and cliffs, they will not give up.
Even if you take 10,000 steps back, the bureaucracy can control the army. Be neutral.
But those peasants and militias in Guanzhong were enough to tear any cabal that opposed the Son of Heaven to shreds.
At a time when the power of the monarch has swelled to almost no limit, any reasonable person knows that even if he is tied up and ready to be killed, it is better than resisting!
At least it won't kill the whole family!
In such a situation, the people in the bureaucracy are really trembling. Like a frightened bird.
So much so that when the pilgrimage begins. After the ministers bowed three times and bowed nine times, Ji Di and Yan Yi took fifty-five scholars and servants, stood on the top of the imperial steps, and began to sing the full text of Emperor Taizong's "Edict of the People" in unison, there was actually a timid guy who fainted in fright.
This made Liu Che look at it. Also a little dumbfounded.
"Let Tingwei go and investigate, the problem with this person ......" Liu Che commanded Wang Dao.
It was just a petty official at the level of a thousand stones, just a small mosquito, so Liu Che didn't pay attention to it after he gave the order. continued to maintain a solemn expression, listening to the "Edict of the People" sung by Ji Di and others.
After singing three times, there was silence in the whole dynasty, only a few old ministers of Taizong, their eyes were red and emotional.
"Today is the Shuowang Dynasty!" Liu Che stood up and said: "Nine years ago, my emperor's ancestor was here to inherit the Ming Palace, issued an edict to the world, asked for the ability to support the people, and the people of the society, after the age of nine, I set up this Xuanshe, and held the sacrifice of Gui coins to serve the temple of God, the blessing of the gods of the temple of Laizong, God's favor, the peace of the four seas, there is no military revolution, but the difficulties of the people are still the same!" β
Liu Che's eyes swept over the ministers, and it was the most suitable place to open his mouth and amplify his words.
Since Liu Che ascended the throne, he hasn't made much ridicule for more than a year, because he knows that his position is not stable, his strength is not strong enough, and he can't take on the whole world alone.
But now, he has initially established his authority, grasped the authority, the army has returned to his heart, and the popularity of the people has increased.
As for the bureaucracy, it is necessary to learn from the Taizu of the Celestial Empire, pierce their disguises, tear their hypocrisy, expose their essence, and tell them: Don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know what kind of goods you are? Lao Tzu doesn't do you, because you are still a little useful, don't force me to be anxious, brother, I am afraid of myself when I am in a hurry!
Of course, this is the meaning, and the expression should be more euphemistic.
We can't really tear apart the essence of the bureaucracy and the state directly in front of the people of the world, like the Taizu of the Celestial Empire, revealing the most fundamental and dark side.
That would certainly make the bureaucrats honest, but it would not be good for the rule!
Therefore, after Liu Che raised his voice, he asked, "Is there something wrong with my government?" And what is the line with? β
"Or is the way of heaven not smooth, the location is favorable or not, the personnel are not harmonious, and the ghosts and gods are not happy? Otherwise, how could it be so! β
This is a self-question in Emperor Taizong's edict nine years ago.
At that time, Taizong used it, and he really asked himself.
But Liu Che repeated it, and everyone listened to it, but there was only a biting chill and a shuddering deterrence!
Because, today, he has proved that he is indeed ordered by the heavens, the true destiny of the gods and gods!
Therefore, this self-question becomes the maximum pressure exerted on officials.
Zhou Yafu took the lead, including the patriarch and the doctor's officer, and all the courtiers who participated in the Shuowang court meeting knelt down one after another, and bowed: "This sincere minister will not lend money, so that His Majesty is angry, and the ministers are guilty, please punish him!" β
Liu Che read it and was quite satisfied.
But he didn't intend to let these guys go like this, and he had to put more pressure and encouragement on them.
So, Liu Che continued to ask himself: "Will the support or expenses of hundreds of officials, useless things or more?" How little does the people eat? Fudu Tian is not a beneficiary, and the people have not benefited, and the land is measured by mouth, which is still more than in ancient times! β
"And there is not enough food!" Liu Che looked at the ministers. Lower your voice and lower your voice, as if asking yourself, "What's to blame?!" β
This time, all officials, including Zhou Yafu, lowered their heads to the floor.
Zhou Yafu is ashamed, and many people are weak-hearted.
As a matter of fact. The Han government has always known what caused the people to go bankrupt, starve, and even have to sell their children and daughters.
However, the powerful power of vested interests forced the Han rulers to make small repairs and try their best to use other methods, such as suppressing Haoqiang. policies such as large migration to maintain social stability and fairness.
But they have never dared to go to war against these people.
Even Liu Che now, he doesn't dare to risk the political turmoil in the country and tear his face with these guys.
However, this does not mean that Liu will abandon the national policy of narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor in society and supporting and protecting the middle class.
Historically, even if it was a little pig, when he was busy cultivating immortals and alchemy, he did not relax the protection of good families and small and medium-sized landlords.
This is from the edict of the little pig. You can see a very clear idea of governance.
Speaking of which, Liu Che also has to thank Little Pig.
It is the lessons and experiences of the failures of some of the policies of Little Pig. Let Liu Che know clearly: You can't expect to shout slogans and cannons to govern the country, the key is to act.
For example, in the early days of the piglet's rule, he only cared about the mouth cannon, but was constantly fooled, and in his later years, he gave up the mouth cannon. The down-to-earth implementation of the policy of benefiting the people has resulted in the rejuvenation of the world in just a few years, thus laying a good economic foundation and a stable political situation for the rule of Zhaoxuan.
So. The mouth cannon was put here, and Liu Che also knowingly chose to stop.
At present, the main direction of the work of the Han government is not to crack down on bureaucrats and punish excesses and miscellaneous taxes -- the scale of this work is too large, the amount of work is too large, and there are not enough manpower, so it is very likely that the work will not be done well, but will fall into endless political strife and party disputes between the old and the new.
Therefore, Liu Che chose to make the cake bigger first, so that the area of arable land in the world will expand and the yield per mu will increase.
But to do this, we must first deter the bureaucrats.
At the very least, let their claws be more restrained, and their hearts should not be so black, so that they can have scruples and bottom lines.
Otherwise, the cake will be bigger, but the people will not be able to eat it, and it will still be a tragedy!
Today's opening rhetoric is aimed at scaring the bureaucrats.
At present, it should have some effect, but simple intimidation is not enough, because if it is just intimidation, everyone may just pay a little attention for a few days, and it will not take long before the old way sprouts.
Therefore, there are still bloody examples to prove that this mouth cannon is not scary, just like killing chickens and monkeys, and setting up a few typical examples.
"The righteousness in this, I can't understand it, the prime minister, the imperial historian, the court captain, the liehou, the two thousand stone court, discuss and discuss, the doctors should not be idle, carefully consider and consider, each book is played, I will read it personally, there are those who can help the people, think far-sightedly, there is nothing hidden, no matter who is harmful to the people, do not taboo, no matter who is involved, you must investigate to the end, the law is good, then revise the law, if the policy is wrong, then review the policy!"
These murderous words made many people have some cramps in their legs and stomachs.
Liu Che walked back to the throne, took the sword of the Son of Heaven, pressed it against the ground, and said, "My lecture is over, now, let's start discussing the resettlement policy!" β
Many people got up trembling and remembered that today was the Shuowang Dynasty meeting, and what was to be discussed was the resettlement policy.
Originally, many people also planned to take advantage of this reclamation policy to reap the benefits for themselves -- the land reclaimed by the immigrants will be calculated in millions of acres.
Even if the output of Liaodong and Xinhua is not as good as that of China, at least, it can reach a field or something.
Isn't it a problem to fish out hundreds or even thousands of hectares from it yourself?
But at the moment, everyone has no such thoughts.
Although the land is good, you have to take it!
On the contrary, the princes sat firmly in Diaoyutai, and the supplementary part of the resettlement policy was that the princes would obtain a fiefdom of the equal fiefdom in the new territory and Xinhua area.
In this way, the princes will not participate in and will not have the heart to engage in those tricks - with that effort and energy, it is better to develop the new fiefdom they are about to obtain.
In this way, you don't have to take risks, you won't lose your reputation, and you can make a profit.
This is also a policy that Liu Che has planned a long time ago, the meritorious class of Laliehou. suppressed the civilian bureaucracy, and in turn used the civilian bureaucratic class to supervise the meritorious class of the princes, and pulled one faction to fight another, Liu Che had a lot of fun.
"Ji Di, read out the reclamation policy I have drafted!" Liu Che ordered.
With the previous mouth cannon. Whether it was the princes, the courtiers, or the doctors and officials who were the best at talking, they could only kneel down one after another and listen to the oracle.
In the past, they would have come out and say something.
But now, they are all shrunken turtles, like a good student, pricking up their ears and obediently listening to Ji Di read out the policy.
Ji Di respectfully held a silk book and walked to the front of the imperial steps. First bow to Liu Che, then bow to the courtiers, and then, spread out the silk book, and read: "The major affairs of the country, only Rong and rituals, the major affairs of the people, in food and goods." If the people are full of food, the world will be safe, and if the goods are sufficient, the society will be solid. Wu Zi, the former man, said: The country is not in danger in Germany, I am Jiazhi, and my heart is with it! Now I am ordered by the heavens to rejuvenate the king's division, cut down the ministers, and collect the land of Korea. Out of the righteous teacher, help the loyal ministers, get the attachment of the king of the sea, expand the land for 3,000 miles, and collect the land in the northeast. The land of the northeast, although it is bitterly cold and uninhabited, however, the terrain is flat, fertile for thousands of miles, and it is a godsend, which makes the landless people in the world move to Liaodong, Xinhua, and North Korea to defend the land, consolidate the territory, and develop it. I think that the people have no protection, and the people have nothing to shelter, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to live, but it is ordered to have a division to agree, and the government and military management will be under the wisdom of the people for a long time, and the sages of the government and the opposition will be gathered, and a number of articles will be made public and set in the law! β
"One of them said: The management of the cantonment army, each according to the military system, or a certain department, or a certain army, are all ordered in the name of each department and army of the Han army, each department and army, each non-commissioned officer, as the captain and Sima of each cantonment regiment, assist the people, reclaim the land, Shaofu, Danong, and Yousi, with technical and material support!"
After reading this article, the military generals and elders led by Zhou Yafu bowed their heads one after another and bowed: "Obey the holy will!" β
They expressed their full support and support for the decision of the Son of Heaven and resolutely supported the Son of Heaven's initiative.
In fact, this article is very beneficial to the military, which means that all the mountains can henceforth gain their hardcore supporters in Liaodong, Xinhua and North Korea.
Think about it, for example, once an elite like the Xiliu Battalion has established a solid relationship with a cantonment regiment with 10,000 or even tens of thousands of people, then the future strength and youth of this cantonment regiment will definitely give priority to serving in the Xiliu battalion, and the Xiliu battalion can also use the personnel in the regiment to cultivate soldiers that meet their requirements.
This is very important for a force.
Just like the neon divisions before World War II, when a unit's source of troops is fixed from one place, this unit also has its own unique combat style and spiritual outlook.
This point, in the Three Kingdoms era, also has obvious examples.
The tiger and leopard cavalry, the trapping camp, and the white horse righteous followers are basically obtained from a fixed place and trained.
This is also a future development direction tailored by Liu Che for the Han Army.
As for the mountain, the warlord, or something, don't worry, because there are follow-up arrangements.
"The second said: All reclamation regiments are ordered by the Son of Heaven, each is awarded a military flag, and the captain and Sima of each reclamation regiment are twice in the morning and evening, and they need to lead the people under the military flag and swear allegiance to the Son of Heaven and the Han Law!"
"No!" Zhou Yafu and others were ordered again.
This is a very normal arrangement, and although the relationship between the cantonment regiment and the army is close, their relationship with the Son of Heaven should be even closer.
"The third said: Each cantonment regiment shall place an order, which is called the tuncheng, and the civil officials shall fill it, with a rank ratio of 400 stones, and shall be in charge of the finances, expenditures, and litigation disputes of each cantonment reclamation regiment, and the office shall sue for other positions!"
"No!" Goodbye, ministers.
This regulation is also one of the rare unanimities reached by the ruling and opposition parties after tearing up countless times.
There are too many military backgrounds in the cantonment regiments, and the civilian clique inevitably wants to civilize them, and at the very least, they cannot be completely separated from the civilian system.
And the separation of military and political is also the direction of Liu Che's efforts.
"The fourth said: The reclamation regiment is based on the Han law, except for its militia, the rest of the lawsuits and violations are governed by the Han law!"
It is also a regulation that has broad consensus.
Quite simply, let the people gather and manage in a militarized manner, this is for the initial reclamation and protection, but if military law is used as its internal legal basis, then something big will happen.
You can't let the common people be a little lazy and make something, and they will lose their heads!
Of course, as a paramilitary organization, the cantonment regiment must have a militia in reserve. Even if the armed army protects these people, they can be managed by military law.
"The fifth said: The grain, seeds, cattle and farm tools needed by the reclamation regiment in the early stage will be loaned by the Shaofu and the Prime Minister's Office, and after the harvest next year, the grain will be used to offset the loaned materials. There are divisions and provinces are not allowed to collect interest, this article, Zhang Yulubu, tell the world, so that Li Shu knows what I mean, there are those who dare to shirk, levy, and appropriate, the imperial historian and the court lieutenant, severely punish it, and treat it as a capital crime! β
The ministers prostrated again. The proposal of this article was the focus of endless controversy among all parties at the original court meeting.
In the past few discussions of the Shuowang Dynasty, all parties felt that a certain amount of interest should be charged as the income paid by the imperial court.
The only difference is whether commercial interest or normal interest is charged.
But it is clear that the Son of Heaven was very dissatisfied with this and made his final decision.
This makes many people feel sorry for themselves.
Interest on this thing. But a big killer!
Even if it's a low interest, like a cent. can bring countless benefits to the big guy in the end.
It is much easier to fool the people than to fool the Son of Heaven, as evidenced by the fact that in many places a person can be taxed five times.
It's a pity that the Son of Heaven resolutely cut off everyone's thoughts.
Everyone shook their heads, helpless.
Many people were thinking about this. If the Son of Heaven doesn't let us reap the benefits, then we will stumble and pull back.
But now, with the announcement of the first four, this opportunity to pull back is gone.
On the part of the army. There will be no chirping of the civil official clique at all.
Perhaps, the orders of the various reclamation regiments can do something? Someone thought to himself.
The bureaucracy is like that, if the rulers don't let them do anything, then they will find a way to do anything.
The pit emperor was originally the instinct and talent of the civil official group.
It's a pity that the regulations that were announced later completely shattered this dream of theirs.
"The sixth said: Thirty percent of the output of the reclamation regiment each year shall be returned to the public, thirty percent shall be handed over, and the rest shall be forty percent, and the people of each regiment shall divide according to the amount of the land they cultivate, and thirty percent of the income shall be returned to the public, one shall be a reserve for the preparation of famine and calamity, and the other shall be a supply for the various departments of the military.
This stipulates that all the hills of the military will attach great importance to the reclamation regiment.
Because this is tantamount to tying up the cantonment regiment with the army.
The better the development of the cantonment regiment and the more output it produces, the more benefits the army will receive, and the more their military expenses will be.
Everyone knows that the military will never allow the bureaucracy to drag them back.
Whoever dares to drag them back, that group of Qiu Ba will definitely dare to knock on the door.
Nowadays, the power and power of the warriors in the Han family far surpass that of the civilian group.
The civilian clique dares to pit the emperor, but it definitely does not dare to pit the military general group that has mastered the barrel of the gun.
Qiu Ba was stunned, regardless of the rules, don't be embarrassed, who can stop it?
Many people only feel a little bitter in their mouths.
Today, the distrust of civil officials can be seen.
From the previous local pavilion chiefs, tour chiefs, and widows to give priority to retired soldiers to today's cantonment regiment policy, the advantages of the warriors have been further expanded.
It can be expected that in the future, among the nine Qings, military generals will continue to account for a large proportion.
"It's really Sven to the end, let me wait for a well-educated person, how can I be ......" The doctors were even more envious and jealous.
But there is no way, the current attribute of the Han regime is a militarist regime with the military and aristocratic groups of the Liehou as the main body.
This can be seen from the fact that prime ministers can only be produced from the princes.
And the liehous, except for the foreign relatives who were born with the golden key, can only be produced among the best of the military nobles.
Of course, Liu Che also knows what kind of consequences this policy will bring.
When the army found that they could benefit from the reclamation policy, out of human instinct and the nature of political forces, they would inevitably want to make the reclamation regiment bigger and stronger, so as to meet their needs.
And when the reclamation regiment becomes bigger and stronger, they will want to be bigger and more reclamation regiments.
In this way, coupled with the nature of the army itself, the military will inevitably become a concentration camp of hawks and expansionists, and in time, the military general group is afraid that there will not even be a single dove, and it will be all a bunch of angry young people who are full of ideas to use the sword of the Han family to get more land for the plough of the Han family.
This will force and motivate the Han family to continue to expand externally.
I'm afraid that they will not think about what to do next until they have taken all the cultivable land and all the enemies they can defeat in the known world and trampled them under their feet.
Just like the Qin Empire's military merit lord name field house system back then.
To be exact. The military management of the cantonment is itself a variant of Liu Che's cultivation and warfare policy based on Qin.
This is a policy that was launched purely for the sake of expansion and aggression.
As long as this policy is in place and the cantonment regiment continues to exist, the Han army will not be able to stop, and no one will be able to stop them.
Through the support of the cantonment regiment, the army obtains honor, resources, soldiers, and benefits. And the people of the cantonment regiment rely on the expansion of the army to obtain land and security, and the army will not be satisfied with the existing interests, and the people will not be satisfied, and they will just get their own land.
They will turn into a terrifying monster.
When Liu Che is alive, he may be able to hold the reins and keep them quiet and calm.
But if Liu Che is not there in the future, no one will be able to subdue this monster.
Consider this now, though. It's too early.
The question of how to tie the rope and subdue this monster should be considered after the Han family defeated the great enemy of the Xiongnu and obtained the hegemony of East Asia.
Now, everything has to make way for war, to make way for expansion.
Liu Che knew very well that the only way to defeat the Xiongnu was to colonize the Western Regions and India. Learn about the British Empire and suck blood from aliens. And then obtain enough nutrients to lay a good foundation for the evolution of Han civilization.
At that time, it is time to think about the future.
Moreover, the current situation is that China has so much arable land and a growing population.
I don't want to find a way to get more land to cultivate. Get more resources to feed the people who are waiting to be fed.
The Nahan regime is about to face an existential crisis.
Therefore, after hesitating, Liu Che still chose to release this monster.
At the very least, it is not yet possible for it to rebel against the Han regime itself.
Qin's cultivation and warfare system is also to unify the world. It is only after there is no desire that it begins to decay and collapse.
And there are many, many places where the Han family can farm now.
Korea, Xinhua, Liaodong, and Liaoxi in the northeast, and Mitsukoshi and Southwest Yi in the south, all of which can accommodate at least five million people in the next 20 years.
When these places are full of fields, the Han family should also defeat the Xiongnu and gain the hegemony of the Western Regions, and at that time, the vast land in Central Asia and South Asia can still meet the needs of the Han people.
If this is done, the Han people will also spread the world.
The population has at least exceeded 100 million.
Such a large population base, such a huge territory, such a huge wealth.
Then it can only choose to evolve and evolve to a more advanced civilization - industrial civilization.
Because, with a huge territory and an endless population, there is no second option other than industrialization, and if you can't do it, you can only collapse.
"If that's the case, and the industrialization can't be completed, then it can only mean that the children and grandchildren are not ......," Liu Che muttered in his heart.
As for the present, militarism is the only direction of development.
Of course, Liu Che is not without the means to leave constraints.
In the future, civilian politics, represented by examinations, may not be able to wrestle with the military and compete with strength.
But Ji Di did not pause, and continued to read: "The seventh said: The length of the cantonment regiment is scheduled to be five years, and after five years, the cantonment regiment will dissolve the military management, and the Tingli, township, county, and county will be replaced, and the captains, Sima, and Cheng Ling, will be converted to civilian positions!" β
This one, too, is a patch that is not too big or small, to prevent that monster from growing too fast, and also to motivate and encourage the army to want more benefits?
Then go and grab someone else's land!
Whether it is the Huns, the Wusun people, the people of the Western Regions, the Indians, or even the Anxi people and the Daqin people, as long as you can grab each other's homes and occupy their land, then you can reclaim them locally.
At the same time, this provision is also to prevent the cantonment regiment from eventually becoming a corrupt system similar to the Ming Dynasty's guard system.
The five-year period of military administration will make it impossible for the army to complete the transformation of the people of the cantonment regiment into its own slaves in such a short period of time.
Liu Che is not like Zhu Yuanzhang, who will arrogantly think that as long as his policies are formulated, it will not be easy for eternity!
In fact, Liu Che decided that his policy should be reviewed every five years, and every ten years, targeted changes must be made to adapt to the development of the times.
This is also one of the more interesting aspects of Han Dynasty politics.
The so-called remarks such as "nine changes and repetition, the choice of knowledge", "convenience and tirelessness of the people", "three generations of kings with different courtesies, and five generations with different laws" are well-known and recognized truths in the political arena of the Han Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, in the history of the Western Han Dynasty, there will be a phenomenon of one emperor and one dynasty, one emperor and one law.
Almost every emperor who came to power had his own ideas and reform policies.
This is rare in the past! (To be continued......)
