Chapter 0110: There is an old man in the family

After telling all the plans for the transformation of the imperial doctor, Liu Hong found that Wang Ling's brows were slowly furrowed, and his face gradually became solemn.

After a long time, Wang Ling almost wanted to speak and stopped, and finally bowed down under the encouragement of Liu Hong's 'Taifu Danyan, I don't blame'.

"The minister foolishly thinks that His Majesty's move may not be possible..."

After carefully speaking, Wang Ling raised his eyelids slightly and secretly looked at Liu Hong's slightly surprised face.

Transforming the Imperial Historian into a supervisory body to supervise the administration of officials?

In Wang Ling's opinion, this is not just not working, it is simply digging a self-grave!

Specially sent one of the three princes, the imperial historian, to supervise the private morality of officials?

I'm afraid that as soon as this order is issued, hundreds of officials will commit suicide in shame on the same day!

In this era when distrust is equated with humiliation, the emperor so clearly expresses his distrust of officials, which is equivalent to pointing at the nose of the officials and scolding them for not being clean under their buttocks!

In that way, no matter whether it is clean or not, in order to prove that he is 'honest and honest', the official can only die to prove his innocence!

Looking at Wang Ling's complicated gaze that wanted to say something, but because the relationship between the monarch and the minister was not easy to say directly, Liu Hong thought about it for a while, and then reacted, and couldn't help but feel amused by his whimsy.

In fact, Liu Hong has no problem thinking: the establishment of supervision institutions to supervise officials has a precedent to follow in all dynasties, and on the surface, it can indeed play a role in centralizing power.

But Liu Hong ignored that this was the Han Dynasty, where personal dignity and personal reputation were more important than life!

Really speaking, how many officials in the feudal era can ensure that their sleeves are clean and clean, and they are not greedy or taken?

Thousands of miles as an official, not trying to make a fortune, is it trying to revitalize the country?

In Liu Hong's view, the act of committing suicide after being humiliated by the Western Han Dynasty officials is clearly to be both right and standing!

- is obviously greedy, and in order to prove his innocence, he did not hesitate to commit suicide to save his reputation, so that Liu Hong fell into the stigma of 'mistreating officials'!

With this backbone, why didn't you control that hand when you took the money in the first place?

However, Liu Hong had to admit that Wang Ling's worries were justified: the political atmosphere at this time did not allow the emergence of an agency specifically responsible for supervising officials; Not to mention the transformation of the Imperial Doctor, one of the country's three giants, into a supervisory organization.

Imperial Doctor, the first place in the Qin period, the duty on the surface is to supervise hundreds of officials and assist the prime minister; But most of the time, the Imperial Doctor was used by the emperor as a 'deputy prime minister' to restrain the prime minister.

As for supervising the hundred officials, it is not the same thing at all as the back of the Imperial Historian, the 'Imperial Historian'!

The duty of the officials in later generations, in addition to adding obstacles to the emperor, is to hear the wind and grass, regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, whether there is evidence or not, and directly come out to impeach the official, so as to show his integrity.

However, the Western Han Dynasty Imperial Historian's 'Supervision of Hundred Officials' is limited to checking the background of the official for the purpose of examining the political component and assessing the political ability before the official is appointed.

Moreover, the daily operation of the Imperial Historian is not the responsibility of the Imperial Historian, but the Imperial Historian Zhongcheng, who is an adjutant.

The subordinate officials headed by Cheng in the imperial history only recorded the personal history and merits of each official in the book, so that they could be taken out when the officials were transferred and used as a reference for the court (emperor).

If Liu Hong really patted his head and transformed the Imperial Historian into an institution with full authority to supervise officials, the Imperial Historian Yamen would likely develop into the same as that of later generations, when the literati and doctors met their opponents, they attacked the opponent's 'mouth cannon keyboard bureau' by fabricating private morality stains!

Thinking of this, Liu Hong knew the background of the historical speech officials - the emperor who might set up the imperial history speech official was just like Liu Hong thought, wanting to put a shackle on the official class; As a result, the shackles did not succeed, but a knife was handed over!

In history, I don't know how many loyal ministers and good generals were victimized by the words of the imperial historians and ended up miserable.

Shaking his head helplessly, he smiled apologetically, Liu Hong straightened his complexion, got up and bowed solemnly: "Fortunately, the old lady persuaded me to make a mistake before I made a mistake..."

Today, if there is a different person, Liu Hong will not be able to realize how naïve his thoughts are!

Liu Hong is stupid, and those who don't deal with it will of course be happy to see it; Even Liu Hongdi's team will not dare to say it because of Liu Hongdi's face.

Among the tens of millions of people in the Han family, Wang Ling is the only one who can rely on his identity as an 'emperor' to knock on the side and mention such a sentence 'This matter should probably not be very good'.

In this era when there is no information network, the central policy can never be implemented 100% by officials!

Even if the court passed the third reading, none of the officials objected to the policy, and the letter Guguan could be implemented seventy percent, which was enough for Liu Hong to run to the high temple and brag about Liu Bang's martial arts!

If this were not the case, Wang Anshi's reform in later generations would not have become the last straw that overwhelmed the Northern Song Dynasty regime.

When a truly mature person in power promulgates a policy, he or she does not only consider the pros and cons of the policy; On the contrary, we should first consider: what tricks can this policy play in the hands of officials!

Wang Anshi's change of law, isn't it good enough?

In fact, on the contrary, Wang Anshi's original intention of changing the law is actually very advanced!

The Green Seedling Law proposes that when the farming season is slack, the people are green and yellow, and when they have no way to continue, they can borrow loans and grain from the government to cope with their lives; The interest is collected in half a year and two to three points, which can be repaid together with the agricultural tax in summer and autumn respectively.

The Horse Protection Law even directly pointed to the problem of the extreme shortage of cavalry in the army, and proposed to encourage the people to raise horses, and the government should rent horses from the people and pay 'rent interest' on a monthly basis.

If implemented properly, in Wang Anshi's reforms, these two parts alone are enough to reverse the situation of poverty and weakness in the Northern Song Dynasty; Even one day when the troops will be raised to the north and the glory of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty will be restored, it is not known!

can be so advanced and reasonable, almost comparable to modern 'bank loans' Wang Anshi's reforms, but in the end the last trace of the Northern Song Dynasty was buried, the northern captives entered the customs, and the Shenzhou continent was full of blood...

What was the reason for the failure of Wang Anshi's reform?

The answer is: Wang Anshi only considered the advantages and disadvantages of the policy, but did not consider: what kind of strategy will be changed by the officials responsible for the implementation of the strategy to save the country!

——With the issuance of the Seedlings Law, the original hope was that the people who could not survive would sell their sons and daughters, sell their fields and houses, and thus obtain slaves and fields.

As a result, the people who originally did not need to borrow money or grain, and who had escaped from the poverty line, had to 'borrow' money and grain from the government because of the government's authority, and put them at home to eat ash for half a year, and even spent a lot of storage costs, and then added interest after half a year and returned to the government as intact.

The law could not escape the forced showdown - the local government not only forced the people to borrow horses from the government, but also had to pay the government rent every year according to the target.

For example: After raising a horse for two years, should it be necessary to have a foal?

What the?

Didn't give birth?

It must be that you are waiting for Diao Min's private collection, and you will send a foal to the government every two years!

In this way, the Qingmiao Law, which was originally established to improve the lives of the people, and the Horse Protection Law in order to increase the number of war horse breeding, completely crushed the people of the Northern Song Dynasty, who were already exhausted.

Not surprisingly, decades after Wang Anshi's reform and dethronement, the Northern Song Dynasty was declared extinct - even if the Jin soldiers did not break through the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, the low-level people who could not survive would rise up sooner or later and overthrow the 'violent Song Dynasty'.
