Chapter 52: Luo Nan's Change
Pan Long waited for more than ten days, and finally waited for the news of Diluonan's reform on the day of the Lantern Festival.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Di Luonan read out his reform plan in public at the New Year's court. As Li Wu said, the whole plan is very huge, and there are more than 140 entries alone.
Among the more than 140 articles, there are 14 of the most important articles.
Article 1: A census of all industries, all organizations, and all expenditures in the world shall be made public. In the future, it will be reviewed and published on a regular basis.
Article 2: Determine the ownership of land, shops, and various industries, and redetermine taxes.
Article 3: Adjust the field tax and forced labor, restore the tax system in kind in the early part of the Great Xia, and limit the scope of forced labor to the range of 200 miles on the main road of the hometown or 100 miles of wild land. Those who exceed the scope of the re-enlistment are levies, and the imperial court pays for them.
Article 4: Re-approve the officials of the world, emphasize "no responsibility, no money, no power", and change the idle positions that were originally generally granted to the families and descendants of the masters of the rivers and lakes and officials to the people, with rank but no power and wealth, and the rank of knight is descended every generation.
Article 5: Reform the official promotion system, reduce the number of promotions through recommendation, recruitment and other channels, and take the imperial examination as the core of the promotion system. Among the officials promoted by the imperial court, more than eighty percent must come from the imperial examination. The promoted talents must either go through the imperial examination of the corresponding subjects, or have experience in related industries, and must be engaged in the corresponding positions after being promoted, and shall not change the direction of the position within three grinding (nine years).
Article 6: Industrial Adjustment. The lending industry was completely nationalized, and the mining, transportation, and medicine industries had to be invested by the Bactrian court. The method of shareholding is determined according to the actual situation, including but not limited to providing cash, tax exemptions and preferential policies.
Article 7: Limit the scale of various Jianghu organizations, and divide large organizations into small and medium-sized organizations according to the rank of the leader of the organization.
Article 8: Large-scale repairs of roads and water conservancy shall, in principle, be led by various river and lake organizations, and be awarded or promoted to civil lords based on actual performance.
Article 9: Adjust the standard of worship, and verify the Huangtian and other imperial and Zhao industries according to the standard. Industries that exceed the standard will be directly managed by the internal treasury.
Article 10: Improve the veterans' retirement system, restore the Xuntian, Xunye and other industries, and establish a loyal and brave division directly under the Son of Heaven, which is specially responsible for the liaison and support of the disabled, veterans, military families, and martyrs' families. The operation and maintenance of the Loyal and Brave Division is compared to the Martyrs' Shrine, and it is not responsible to the imperial court, and the manpower and expenses are all accounted for from the six armies of the Son of Heaven.
Article 11: Reinstate the "Transportation and Dispatch Division" in the early years of the Great Summer, and use the official transportation capacity to transfer output from all over the country. Stabilize prices and secure supply.
Article 12: Establish a militia along the lines of the Northland. The young and strong were uniformly recruited by the imperial court, and military training was carried out during the agricultural slack time, and a establishment was set up, with veterans awarded to the civil lord as officers, and regular drills were conducted at any time.
Article 13: The Royal Heavenly Engineering Division was changed to the Heavenly Engineering Department of the Ministry of Industry, and merged with the Craftsman Division of the original Ministry of Industry to promote the practical application of research results.
Article 14: In addition to the right of investigation, the patrol envoy shall be granted the right to publicize. It is possible to publish any information that is permitted under the laws of Bactria without approval.
In addition to that, there are a lot of bits and pieces of clauses that target every aspect.
As soon as this plan was proposed, it immediately caused an uproar, and a heated debate broke out in the court.
Di Luonan had obviously made sufficient preparations, and he had two hundred and thirty-three boxes of materials brought in, and used a large amount of information to prove that the plans he proposed had a reliable basis and could actually work.
The debate lasted for thirty-six hours, from the fifth day of the first month to the eighth day of the first month. Di Luo Nan's tongue battle is strong, and he is always in good spirits. On the contrary, the group of ministers who debated with him gradually lost their spirits, and in the end, they even had to rely on elixir to support them in order to have the spirit to continue debating.
After all...... You can't sleep on the Golden Luan Palace.
It is also thanks to the fact that Great Xia is rich in Kyushu, there is no shortage of all kinds of elixirs, and there are even masters who can help use true qi to promote the rapid digestion of medicinal power, otherwise, I am afraid that after this debate, several civil officials who are older and do not know martial arts will die directly in the Jinluan Palace.
The result of the great debate was a complete victory for Di Luonan - in fact, it can be seen from the preparations of both sides that when they saw that the more than 200 boxes of materials were carried by the wrestlers and neatly arranged in the square outside the Jinluan Palace, occupying almost one-third of the square, many ministers had already bowed their heads and admitted defeat, unwilling to bring humiliation on themselves again.
Those who still insist on debating are basically that Di Luonan's plan has suffered a lot of damage to his interests, or that he has considerable prejudices against Di Luonan, or that they ...... It's just plain stubbornness.
But no matter what, the ministers finally unified their opinions - being unified can be regarded as a unified way.
As a result, Dillonan's plan was slightly modified - mainly that some ministers had to change it a little, even a few punctuation marks, and then officially publish it and distribute it everywhere.
According to the plan, from now on is the preparation period. After a year of preparation, the plan will be rolled out in Xiazhou and Qingzhou starting next year. Wait until the year after next to promote it in Yangzhou, Jizhou, and Yizhou. It will be fully rolled out in the rest of Kyushu from the year after the big year.
The first task of the preparation period was to publish the book entitled "Shendu Tongue War" and send it to the yamen and official schools in various places to explain it to the people.
In this book, there is not only the entire plan of Tilonan, but also the main content of the debate between the two sides. Many of the problems that may be encountered have already been mentioned in it, and even have solutions.
If you read this book and read it thoroughly, it will be much easier and less unnecessary to you when you implement the plan in the future.
Dingfeng Town also has a yamen and an official school, so naturally it is also divided into two books. Hengzhu had nothing to do in winter, and a large number of curious people poured into the yamen and asked Zhencheng Yuan Xu to explain.
Yuan Xu was also in a panic, so he was able to relieve his boredom, put on a long shirt, and used the yamen lobby as a storytelling field, telling everyone the content of the book every day.
As he spoke, someone asked a question from time to time, and then he flipped through the book a little, and he could often find the answer to the question, which was really convenient.
Later, I didn't know who started first, but I actually brought wine and food over, and while listening to the lecture, I ate and drank at the same time, and the scene was extremely lively.
Yuan Xu endured it at first - after all, the villagers, he didn't look up when he looked down, and he was not very old, so he was really embarrassed to put up a fight.
But a few days later, someone even brought the stove in and ate hot pot in the yamen lobby. Streams of white water vapor rose from the boiling hot soup, almost smoking onto the plaque of "Zhengda Guangming".
Yuan Xu finally couldn't bear it anymore, roared and became furious, and with an order, the officials rushed up, punched and kicked, and drove those bastards out.
They were beating and scolding.
"It's not a thing! I've been eating for so many days, and I don't even share a little of us!"
"That's it! We're working very duty! Even if we don't eat or drink, we still have to stand up straight!"
"If it's the New Year, I'll fight my heart and lungs, brothers, beat me hard!"
As for hot pot...... It's okay to beat people, but it's absolutely impossible to lift the pot, and the north doesn't spoil food. The last pot of hot meals was decided by Yuan Xu, and he invited a few old people to sit next to him to eat.
Those few who originally came with hot pot didn't count if they were beaten, and they had to go to the city gate to be on duty!
