With the fall of the Song Dynasty in history, the fetters system that had been implemented for thousands of years since the Shang Dynasty also came to an end, and was replaced by a new system implemented by the Yuan Dynasty - the Tuguan system. It's not that Zhao Hao doesn't want to say this, but he feels that he can't implement it in the current situation.

"Your Highness doesn't matter if you talk about it, it's just for our master and apprentice to gossip!" Ying Jieyan saw that His Highness wanted to speak and stopped, thinking that he had scruples or had not thought thoroughly, but His Highness always had wonderful ideas, which made the problem easily solved, so he also wanted to hear it.

"Sir, I think that if we want to solve the problem once and for all, we must change the policy of restraint, so that we don't have to fall into the cycle of rebellion, appeasement, rebellion, and suppression." Zhao Yu thought about it, since they were willing to listen to themselves, they would talk about it, maybe the two of them could figure out some Taoism from it. In fact, strictly speaking, the local official system is not a new type of policy, but it should be said to be the reform and improvement of the fetters system, and its core is still to use local ethnic leaders to serve as local officials at all levels, so it is not wrong for him to say that it is necessary to improve the current policy.

"Your Highness, please speak!" Ying Jie's solemn body spoke.

"Two gentlemen, the student is disrespectful!" Ying Jieyan made a shameless gesture of being taught, Zhao Yu couldn't help sighing, and saluted the two, "This matter is very simple to say, that is, for the appointment of local officials, the emperor is canonized as the imperial court appointment, imitating the inland official system, and it is also divided into high and low ranks, according to the size or severity of the region under its jurisdiction, they are subordinate to the imperial court or local roads and states under management. ”

"Your Highness, what good is it that it has not changed the power of the local official?" Deng Guangjian didn't feel any benefit after hearing this, but it was just a lot of cumbersome, and he asked puzzledly.

"Otherwise, Zhongfu has not yet understood the deep meaning of His Highness!" Ying Jieyan figured out the key after a little contemplation.

"Then please explain it to me, I haven't thought it through." Zhao Hao secretly sighed what is called experience, this is called experience. Although the two are both talents for a while, and they are both from Jinshi, Deng Guangjian did not come out. At the end of the day, he's just a nerd on paper; However, it is not only a civil and military jinshi, but also from the most basic local petty officials to the central bosses, immersed in officialdom for decades, and knows all kinds of affairs well, and can often know the whole picture by listening to a word.

"Zhongfu, Your Highness has changed like this, although it seems that there is not much change, but there is a lot of mystery in it." Ying Jieyan already knows His Royal Highness a little, and knows that his words and deeds are often well thought out and will not be untargeted. Although he said that this matter was not well thought out. But he knew that His Highness might have thought about it for a long time, and he wouldn't want to get an axe again, so he turned to Deng Guang and recommended it.

"His Royal Highness's statement that the appointment of local officials by the imperial court will not be different from the military attache system in which the Tang Dynasty used the chieftains of the Tibetan tribe as assassins. And the selection and appointment of local officials in our court are all canonized by the emperor, and he can control his subordinates, local officials, and even all the ministries of the imperial court have no right to intervene, and they will go directly to the front of the emperor if there is something. It can be appointed by the imperial court, but it is different, and it is transferred to the local road and state. The Lu government then had the right to administer the county and meddle in its internal affairs. If there was a dispute between the local officials, they had to go to the local officials to adjudicate the matter, so that the chief's control over his subordinates was weakened, so that he did not dare to make troubles in the local area. ”

"Then there are local officials who are managed by the imperial court. Its inheritance, examination, payment of tribute, and conscription are all subject to the laws and decrees of the imperial court, and its power is much more restrained than in the past, and its jurisdiction is more restricted. Therefore, it still enjoys the right to self-government. However, it is still better than the current system of vain names. Ying Jie Yan talked about it and made the advantages and disadvantages of the two clear.

"Since this policy is beneficial to the country, why doesn't Your Highness say it?" Deng Guangjian listened to Ying Jieyan's praise, and he also felt good. But His Highness gave up?

"Although my policy is better than the restraint system, it is not perfect, and the time is not yet ripe for implementation." Zhao Yu said.

"Your Highness thinks there are still defects, can you tell me?" Ying Jieyan asked, and sighed in his heart As expected, there must be a reason why His Highness didn't say it.

"Why not, the two gentlemen happened to go to the same time. Although this policy restricts the power of local officials and strengthens local control, it still needs to be given a certain degree of autonomy and preferential treatment, otherwise it will be difficult to implement" Zhao Hao smiled and said, the two nodded in approval after listening, "The areas where the fetters are implemented are generally in remote and dangerous places, and they naturally have a strong separatism and closure. The land, mountains, forests, and natural ownership in the area under the jurisdiction of the Tuguan are basically owned by the Tuguan, and the people under his jurisdiction have to depend on him to live, and after a long time they become his vassals and listen to orders. ”

"What His Royal Highness said is true, as far as the old man knows, the local officials are like the Son of Heaven in the terrain under his jurisdiction, and regard the people as slaves, they can ask for property at will, and kill them at every turn, while if their subordinates rebel, it is difficult to survive, they can only be at their mercy, and they dare not rebel at all." Ying Jieyan said.

"Because of this, when the court is strong, they can still abide by the law, but once the court declines, their power will be strong, and they will have different intentions, so as to annex other tribes and rise again, fight against the court, and divide one party to claim the king." Zhao Yu nodded and said, "And now that our dynasty is on the verge of extinction, if we forcibly implement this policy, take away their power, and meddle in their clan affairs, it will inevitably cause collective opposition from the local officials, and the slightest carelessness will cause a catastrophe." In addition, the implementation of the new policy also requires His Majesty's approval, and the court promulgates new laws, otherwise we will not make people misunderstand that we have a heart of disobedience. ”

"Alas, such a good policy is difficult to implement." Deng Guangjian sighed and said, and then asked without giving up, "Your Highness, isn't there a plan for ten thousand years?" ”

"Yes, there is, but the timing is also inappropriate, and it is difficult to implement!" Zhao Yu sold a pass.

"Oh, Your Highness, tell me about it!" The two said in unison.

"Change the land and return to the stream, transform the local officials, and separate them from their subordinates, so as to realize the official language of the local officials. Only by returning the power of governance to the magistrates appointed by the imperial court can the power be returned to the government, the unification of government decrees can be realized, and the country and the people will be safe and yong. Zhao Yu said, "Not now, it doesn't mean that it won't work the day after tomorrow." As long as the strength of the imperial court increases, the control over the Tibetan tribe is gradually strengthened, and the contact, exchange, and exchange of various ethnic groups increases, the local self-government system formed by the Tibetan ethnic groups will gradually integrate from relative independence to the national political system, and eventually collapse! ”

"The old man is really taught, His Highness is far-sighted and far-reaching, he will become a generation of heroes one day!" Ying Jieyan couldn't help but sigh after listening to it. His Royal Highness can go from now to far at a young age, thinking about the future, and he was really born at the wrong time, if he was born twenty years early, the Great Song Dynasty would not have fallen to the point of being out of control.

"Hehe, I was asking the two gentlemen for advice, but it became my nonsense. Far water can't quench the thirst of the near future, and there is still time to discuss the future in the future, so let's do the things in front of us first! Zhao Hao didn't have so many feelings, he had digressed for a long time, but the matter in front of him had not yet been discussed...... (To be continued.) )
