Chapter 316: Something Missing
heard Ning Yu's so-called Chinese Empire, but the ministers present were stunned, how can there be such an era name in this world? Isn't that pure? Is there any culture?
Cui Wancai also had a little embarrassment on his face, at this time he suddenly remembered that he was still Ning Yu's nominal teacher, although what he taught Ning Yu was something not very serious, but at this juncture, he did feel a little embarrassed......
The civil officials in the Fu Han army are different from the civil servants of the Qing Dynasty, they seem to have inherited the demeanor of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty by nature, and began to spit, Ning Yu suddenly envied Ning Zhongyuan who was cultivating his mind in the backyard at this time, so he could choose to cultivate his mind, but when he became the new king of Chu, he could only watch these sons of Wenchen play tricks.
Of course, in addition to the country name, there is also the year name, and then the government structure of the imperial court, this bunch of things are placed in front of Ning Yu, which makes him feel a little distressed, these things are simple to say, but when they are done, they need to go through a set of processes, and there will be no fewer disputes like this in the future.
Cui Wancai finally stood up and said: "From the Yellow Emperor to Shun Yu, they all have the same surname and different country names, and they are based on Zhang Mingde." The Chinese Empire mentioned by the king is somewhat nondescript, and it is inevitable that people will laugh at it. First secretly despised Ning Yu's aesthetics, then looked at the ministers and began a tirade.
"Since the dynasties, the name of this country is either in the name of the title or in the name of the fief, so in this way, the king takes Chu as the name, and it is better to take the country name as Chu."
"As for the dispute between Han and Chu, it is not because of the White Lotus Sect, but because of the Qing History, there are really a lot of Han people, in addition to the Han of Emperor Gaozu and the Han of Emperor Guangwu, there is also the Han of Emperor Zhaolie, in addition to the Xiongnu Liu Yuan also used to call himself Han, and Liu Zhiyuan also took the country name as Han...... For us, what we have created is to unify the country, and it is a bit out of place to use Han again. ”
If there are no Han people in front, it doesn't hurt to use one, but now the emperor is not surnamed Liu, and then there is a taste of forcibly climbing the relationship, and the big guy is also selected, so he takes Chu as the country name.
Although Ning Yu didn't care about these false names in his heart, he didn't want to be entangled in this matter repeatedly, he could use any country name, the main thing was to have hard power, otherwise it would be useless to get it no matter how good it sounded.
Ning Yu thought that the ministers of the country had set it, and it would be good for the ministers to decide the name of the country, so he had already thought about it in his heart, and said with great interest: "With Chu as the name of the country, I think it is okay." What do you think of this year name? ”
Li Fu interjected at this time, and reminded on the side: "Your Majesty, after all, the name of the year is not as good as the name of the country, and it needs to wait until the king officially ascends the throne before it can be formulated." "To put it bluntly, if you want an era name, you have to go through the program first.
Ning Yu was a little depressed, he would definitely ascend the throne, but not now, and he would not choose to be in Wuchang, he would need to move to Jiangning at that time, and the Heaven and Earth Society Altar there was already under construction, so he could only wait until after he ascended the throne.
However, before that, Ning Yu also needs to solve a top priority with Cui Wancai, Ning Zhongjing, Li Fu and others, that is, to determine the current government structure of the Fu Han Army, after all, the current structure of the Chu Wangfu was also created by grass, and many things are not perfect enough, especially in the official hierarchy, it is even more chaotic, in the past, everyone was a grass platform, and they didn't care, but they were about to create a country, and if it was still so chaotic, it would be impossible to say.
In this regard, it is not very suitable for the conference, after all, it is related to the most core things, Ning Yu directly found Ning Zhongjing, Cui Wancai, Li Fu and other ministers to review the government affairs framework of the past dynasties, so as to come up with some things that are more suitable for the current Chu State.
In fact, Ning Yu is also very clear that the current framework of the Qing court is not achieved overnight, in fact, it is still based on the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, so as to evolve a system, it is a combination of Manchuria and the Ming system before entering the customs, and added a nondescript Eight Princes Discussion, but in general there are not too many changes, of course, with the abolition of the Eight Princes system, the emperor's power is becoming bigger and bigger in this process.
As for the Ming Dynasty system in addition to the cabinet, other aspects are basically the use of the three provinces and six ministries system, of course, there are some changes in the details, among which the Zhongshu Province is in charge of the six departments, responsible for administrative affairs, and the current Chu Wangfu political hall is quite tired, and the military is in charge of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, similar to the current Privy Council of the Fu Han Army, and the Yushitai is similar to the Supervisory Yuan of the Fu Han Army, responsible for supervising affairs.
To put it simply, there is no real change between the current system of the Fu Han Army and the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is nothing more than some changes in the name, of course, there is also a little change, that is, the Fu Han Army actually canceled the cabinet in fact, but chose the left and right senator system, which is almost equivalent to the left and right prime ministers.
At this point, in fact, whether it is Ning Yu or Ning Zhongyuan, they have had in-depth considerations at the beginning, that is, the biggest role of the cabinet system is actually the check and balance of power, which is actually not high in efficiency, but the prime minister system, which is more suitable for the needs of wartime, and avoids internal friction by looking at the overall situation.
Of course, in order to check and balance the threat to the king caused by the power of the prime minister, Ning Zhongyuan did not give the title of the real prime minister, but replaced it with a senator, which is simply a low position, and also set up two senators on the left and right, in order to check and balance.
"I think that only by clearing the outline of government affairs can we stabilize the Quartet. In particular, within the center, it is necessary to ensure that the responsibilities are corresponding, and the redundant officials and redundant duties should be reduced, so as to ensure the smooth flow of government affairs. Do you have any suggestions? ”
At present, the people who can really participate in this meeting are the current central force of the Fu Han Army, and they will naturally think carefully about this matter, so no matter what they say on weekdays, when it comes to this occasion, everyone can't help but ponder, after all, this time is not a joke, it is a matter of light to the future of the big guy, and a little more important is related to the life and death of the entire Great Chu.
"If you take over the old system, it's not impossible, after all, the world is used to it...... It's just that the new dynasty has just been established, and if there are some changes, it is really normal, but I don't know what the king thinks in his heart? ”
Li Fu's temperament can't be so upright, so many words are still relatively tactful, and the big guys will feel reasonable when they hear it, but it can't solve the problem, and these things are not what Ning Yu wants in front of him.
In fact, if it was just the old system, Ning Yu could completely follow the current set of things, he said in a low voice: "The new dynasty is established, and the old road must not be followed, but I just think that the so-called official system is not just for the sake of everyone's glory and wealth, so this system needs to be carefully considered." ”
After thinking hard, everyone also put forward many suggestions that seemed useful, but in fact, they were still changing the soup without changing the medicine, which did not conform to Ning Yu's thoughts, but Cui Wancai, who had not spoken, fell into contemplation.
After seeing that everyone had no new ideas, Ning Yu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but Cui Wancai at this time said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, everything we did before is actually still a thread to string together, and the same is true of the official system this time..... Maybe with this thread, a lot of things will be solved. ”
After hearing these words, Ning Yu's heart instantly brightened a little, and he quickly understood what Cui Wancai meant, what he wanted to change was actually never an official system....... It is the logic of the feudal dynasty.
No matter how the official system is changed, if it is always under the logic of the feudal dynasty, it is actually untenable, and it is easy to be destroyed, even including the actions that Ning Yu did before, maybe it can be maintained while he is alive, but as long as there is an emperor in the future, all this will be overthrown.
"Abolish exorbitant taxes and reduce the burden on the people."
"Support industry and commerce and promote capital development."
"Rebuild the criminal laws of the Ming and Qing dynasties and abolish harsh torture."
"Spread [Shuhai .xyz] Ding into the mu, the gentry pay for the grain ....."
When these things were mixed together, Ning Yu felt that his brain was about to burst, and these terms and conditions could be used to win the hearts of the people, but when they were mixed together, it seemed that one of the most critical things was missing.
What is it?
In this era, no one can give Ning Yu an answer, everyone here has no choice, it can be said that the real test of Ning Yu has never been only the Qing court, but also all living beings in the world, if it is just a big Chu who changes the soup and does not change the medicine, this is of no meaning to Ning Yu.
Li Fu was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, in terms of the hearts of the people, it is not just about blindly giving grace, but also about paying equal attention to grace and power. ”
The courtiers on the side nodded from the bottom of their hearts, the current Han army is quite low in the people's demands, and it is quite low in all dynasties, and the army has never committed any crimes, and has never harmed the people, if even these are not enough, then what is enough?
No one understands Ning Yu's inner entanglement and depression at this time, perhaps for him, the beauty and shock he has experienced have always stayed in his heart, never dissipated, so that they will be revealed unconsciously.
"Lone has been thinking, why did I have hundreds of millions of Han people at the time of the Two Song Dynasty and the end of the Ming Dynasty, but I never guarded this country? What's wrong with this? ”
A trace of pain flashed in Ning Yu's eyes, this question had become a dead knot, haunting his heart, but he knew the answer, and that answer was almost cruel and heartbreaking.
"The people do not know that there is a country, and the country does not know that there is a people."
"I, Da Chu, will never be such a country!"
.........
Now in the stormy Qing Dynasty, after a few pairs of fierce drugs in Yongzheng's Tulang, there is a tendency to gradually stabilize the condition, and it has gradually given Yongzheng a little more extravagant hope, that is, the medicine is not heavy enough, and the efficacy has not reached the point that Dr. Yongzheng wants.
"Originally, it was my Qing Dynasty's love for the people, but why did Chu Yi come to the front of me, you say, what is wrong with this?"
Looking at the kneeling ministers of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty, Yongzheng suddenly became a little angry, he had already received a secret report, the Fu Han army had begun to implement the policy of abolishing the consumption of envy and apportionment into the mu in several southern provinces, and even went further, that is, the gentry were also included in the category of integrated grain payment.
Although he felt shameless about the plagiarism of the Han Army, but the Qing court's actions also made Yongzheng almost feel heartbroken, and he reluctantly began to implement the policy after many plans, but now it has been completely copied by the opponent, and even taken a step further, which feels a little wrong when you think about it.
What's the difference?
For this problem, except for a small number of confused ministers, the others are almost all menqing, and the big guys have all experienced scientific examinations, where do they not understand the joints here? The Fu Han Army can be fully promoted and implemented, relying on one killing and one pulling, and it must be killed first and then pulled.
First of all, in the process of the Fu Han army fighting the world, the losses of the local gentry were actually very heavy, and a large number of gentry families who were unwilling to follow the Fu Han army had been killed.
After killing this group of gentry clans, the Fu Han army went to implement these policies, which actually reduced a lot of resistance invisibly, and the Fu Han Dynasty will also win over the cooperating clans, and when cleaning up those uncooperative clans, they also collected a lot of benefits, but it was more than enough to win them over.
Of course, even so, the Fu Han army also encountered a group of opponents within Huguang, and then after they were completely eliminated, even the Zheng family, who started together, was swept aside to play, which spread the policy in all directions.
But the problem is that some people in the Fu Han army have guns, money and land, they can fight and pull, and the people's hearts are still very stable, but what does the Qing court have at the moment? Nothing but those hotpot-like shotguns.
Zhang Tingyu had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, what Chu Cheng is doing now is just painting tiger dogs, and he has no emperor's benevolence, and his strategy is even more impatient and brutal, I am afraid that it will not last long." ”
Prince Yi Yunxiang couldn't help but sigh, of course he knew what Yongzheng meant, but he hoped to promote the apportionment into other provinces, not just in Zhili.
But the problem is that this silver cannot be collected from the hands of the people, and can only be apportioned to the states and counties, and collected through the land and property registers of each state and county, but the names on those land and property books are not ordinary people, they are all the nobles of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty......
To put it bluntly, Yongzheng could not do the gentry to pay the grain in one piece, and he was unwilling to make money from the poor sticks, and the silver to be collected in the middle was not less, which really made the officials below a little confused.
Even Zhili, who initiated it, is now facing such a dilemma, which makes Yongzheng's self-righteous plan begin to become an embarrassing farce.
