Chapter 437: Yuanshuo Reform
"If the reform of the economy cannot solve the disadvantages of the inconsistency of coinage rights and the inconsistency between the nominal value and the real weight of money, the implementation of all good policies will be mediocre. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Only by reforming the currency system and making no effort to recast the whole world can we conscientiously enrich the state treasury. β
Liu Che said: "Yes, what should I do according to Qing's words?" β
Sang Hongyang said solemnly: "The minister thinks that first of all, he should order the cessation of the coinage rights of the county.
Secondly, new coins should be made, so that non-new coins in the world should not be allowed, and all old coins should be abolished, and the state of Wujun should be ordered to destroy all the money minted before, and the copper material obtained should be lost to the three officials.
New coins must be strictly selected materials, and the size and style of the coins must be the same, so that they are truly as important as the text.
Only in this way is it unprofitable for private people to imitate it, and if Your Majesty bans it, no one will steal it again.
Once the problem of currency confusion is resolved, the value of the currency can remain stable for a long time. β
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the palace nodded, thinking that it was good.
Liu Che's dark and bright eyes were full of appreciation, and he bowed his head slightly, "Well-Sang Hongyang said that it was to the point!" Okay, I'm ready, I'll leave this matter to you Sang Hongyang. You supervise it, and I'll wait to see the results. β
Sang Hongyang leaned over respectfully and said, "No." β
"All your ministers must do their best in this regard, I hope that when there is another great war, the Han treasury will be full, and the horses and soldiers will be strong. We can't back down on the Huns! Liu Che looked around and recalled: "In the year I ascended the throne, the Xiongnu burned down the Ganquan Palaceβ"
He slowly stood up, pulled back the curtain, and stood in front of the window and looked in.
The expression on his face was solemn, with a hint of anger.
"When I stood on the high platform, I could see the burning redness of the sky.
It's too much of a deception! What a deception!
I swore at that time that if I couldn't be humiliated in this life, I would be ashamed of being a man! Shame on the Son of Heaven! β
When the old thing was mentioned many years later, the green tendons on Liu Che's forehead were still jumping, and you can imagine how angry he was at that time.
Talking about this matter, the ministers were silent for a while, and the humiliation inflicted by the Xiongnu on the Han family was always a boulder that could not be removed from each of them.
"I want to make the Huns dare not offend my Hanbian again! Rebellious ministers and thieves, how dare you peep at my Han Tianwei? β
His sharp and majestic gaze slowly swept over the ministers, and he said word by word: "I hope that this day will come soon, and I hope that the border people of my Han Dynasty can live in peace and security." This is my responsibility, and it is your responsibility. β
The ministers hurriedly said: "The ministers don't dare to forget for a moment. β
There was a smile on Liu Che's face, and his tone was a little soothed.
"I see that some people in the court are ashamed to mention the past, what is this?
What happened, you don't recognize it now, is it really not happening?
This is coaxing myself to play, where did my big man go? β
Some of the ministers were already red-faced, and they hung their heads to look at the ground.
Wei Qing raised his voice at this time: "Your Majesty, since you talk about military affairs, the minister has something to say. β
"Oh?" Liu Che raised his eyebrows slightly, signaling Wei Qing to come away.
"I think that the key point of the Han-Hungarian game lies in horses, war horses.
The horse is the foundation of the armor and the great use of the country.
It is precisely because I understand the truth here that Xiao He, the prime minister of Gaozu, made the nine chapters of the Han law and created the law of the stable.
Emperor Wen issued a reinstatement order, so that the people could use horses to replace service.
During the time of the first emperor, the height of the forbidden horse was more than five feet nine inches, and the teeth were not flat, so they were not allowed to go out of the customs, and the benefits of building garden horses were widely used to expand the scale of military horse ranches.
There are 36 palaces of servants and priests, distributed in the north and west, with Lang as the garden supervisor, 30,000 officials, slaves and maids, and 300,000 horses.
When His Majesty first ascended the throne, he reformed the horse administration.
Let the people get the border county, the official false mare, return at the age of three, and tithe.
In this way, there is a steady supply of mounts under the crotch of my Han cavalry, but the minister thinks that he should be prepared for danger in times of peace.
No matter how good the policy is, it will show a decline over time, if you don't take precautions early, I'm afraid that in the future, my Han family will have no horses! β
Liu Che frowned slightly, and there was no longer a smile on his face.
Wei Qing's resolute face was full of slaughter, ignoring the whispers that sounded in an instant, and greeted Liu Che directly: "The minister is by no means alarmist, let alone grandstanding!" Everything the minister said is the minister's heartfelt words, and please listen to your majesty's words! β
With that, he leaned down deeply.
There was a sudden silence in the hall, except for the candles on the lamps.
Liu Che suddenly smiled, "Those who don't plan for eternity are not enough for a while."
Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain.
Wei Qing, I really didn't misunderstand you!
You say, you go on! β
Wei Qing slowly straightened up, his eyes blazing.
"Horse administration includes supervision, point viewing, branding, horse weaving, exchange, etc., things are cumbersome and huge, and it takes a lot of effort.
At the beginning of the period, because there were no horses in the world, our Han family was in urgent need, and the officials were still willing to die.
But now there are 700,000 horses in the army led by the ministers alone, and there is no shortage of horses in the world.
Naturally, officials began to avoid the important and deal with what they coped.
The minister heard that nowadays the people raise horses, and many local officials are no longer able to inspect seals and edit horse households.
When it came time to review, a large stroke of the pen added a random number and reported it, and the court didn't know how many horses there were, and whether these horses could be military horses?
The minister also heard that many local officials, in order to make some beautiful achievements in their office, regarded the exemption of horses from military service in the imperial court as nothing.
In this way, the people have to raise horses and serve, how can they still raise horses? β
Liu Che smiled: "I'm afraid I haven't heard of this, right?" β
Although he had a smile on his face, his tone was full of anger.
Wei Qing was silent, took out a piece of music from his sleeve and presented it.
Liu Che unfolded it and glanced at it roughly, and he jumped like thunder.
"My soldiers are fighting bloody battles in front, and these people are pulling me back from behind! They're looking for death! β
He Huo Ran smashed the piece in his hand in front of Zhang Tang, and said in a fierce tone: "Give me an investigation, once it is verified, there will be no forgiveness!" If I don't kill people, they won't know what Ma Zheng is and what is the foundation of the country! β
There was a murderous atmosphere in the hall, and all the ministers were shocked.
Zhang Tang calmly picked up the piece and pulled it into his sleeve.
He is not afraid of offending people, but he is afraid that if no one tells him to offend, he will be useless.
Liu Che was not angry, and said: "Order Taifu Temple to review the total number of horses and their quality, and it is strictly forbidden to use shoddy ones!" β
The lights in the hall were swaying and beating in the middle of the night, and all the ministers saw the strong murderous aura in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, and their hearts trembled slightly.
The Yuanshuo reform, which was repeatedly praised by later generations, took shape in the anger of the Son of Heaven.
No one was aware, or rather not fully aware of, the significance of the impact of this night on the course of history.
The Han Wu Dynasty finally got out of the track of being exhausted by war in the future.
The Huns were driven thousands of miles away, and the inner Xin was peaceful and prosperous.
The rich and powerful have been curbed, and the well-off families of the middle class have become the main body of the social economy.
It is a disaster year, and the granary of the world is still inexhaustible.
Later historians called it the pinnacle of feudal dynasties!
