Chapter 140 Buckles

In the palace of Jingzhao Mansion, Chen Yan summoned Wen Haisheng, Gao Yunxiang, Zhou Lide, and Wang Yuan in the imperial study.

The four of them were about to set off and go to the major state capitals to carry out reforms, and Chen Yan gave them a lot of ear orders.

As for the specific content of the reform, Chen Yan discussed with them and came up with results.

First of all, it is necessary to strictly investigate and deal with local officials, punish those who do not judge according to law, and create a power vacuum in the localities.

Then there were the retired soldiers of the Dang Capture Army, the grassroots officials who were trained, and began to settle in various places and carry out work to strive for the decentralization of imperial power to every village.

Wait until the Swingers have enough control over the place.

And then there are the various reform plans formulated by Chen Yan!

Including land reform, tax reform, bureaucratic reform, imperial examination reform, education reform......

and so on!

If he does not have enough control over the local government, Chen Yan will not immediately push for detailed reforms.

Afraid of the situation of the "Green Seedling Law", Wang Anshi originally promulgated the Green Seedling Law to make it convenient for farmers.

Let the peasants borrow money from the government to carry out spring ploughing when the harvest is scarce, and repay it after the harvest, and the interest is very conscientious compared with the usury of the people.

However, due to Lao Wang's lack of control over the local area, as a result, the "Qingmiao Law" was a good government for the benefit of the people, but it was made into a harmful act by the local officials.

The original stipulation that every peasant household could borrow voluntarily has been changed to the point that every peasant household must borrow, to the detriment of those peasants who were originally able to complete the spring ploughing on their own.

And the interest rate has also been increased several times by those local officials, which is higher than usury, and the local officials collude with each other, borrow the imperial court policy as a cover, and pit the peasants to death.

As a result, it can be imagined that Wang Anshi's reform has completely failed, and the reform measures that were originally intended to be good have been distorted one by one and turned into outright harmful to the people.

Chen Yan can be said to have remembered the lesson, and he doesn't want his reform to end in the same way as Wang Anshi's reform.

This has a premise, that is, Chen Yan needs to have strong control and be able to achieve absolute control over the place!

It will take a long time, if not years, to complete this.

Chen Yan probably calculated that in a few years, the reform of Great Qin would be completely completed, and then the Jin State would probably be ready to go south to attack the Song Dynasty.

At that time, the entire power of Great Qin will be gathered together by Chen Yan, and Chen Yan will completely calm the world with a sweeping attitude!

And in the past few years, Song Jin, Song Qin, and Qin Jin should maintain a fragile state of peace.

The Jin State had just eliminated the Liao State, and the Liao State was constantly revolting, and they needed to recuperate for the time being, and spend their energy to control the power of the Liao State.

For the time being, I can't spare my hands to go south.

The southern part of the Song Dynasty was also quite unstable, with continuous uprisings and rebellions, and the Song Dynasty also needed time to lick its wounds, and it did not have the strength to use troops against the Qin State.

And what about Daqin?

Chen Yan is ready to carry out reform, and behind the successful reform in history, there are mountains of corpses and rivers of blood!

If the cake of the vested interests is moved, those with vested interests will definitely not give up, and there will definitely be turmoil/chaos in Daqin!

Chen Yan wants to reform with all his might, and is ready to kill people, and the army under his command must also be prepared to suppress the rebellion, and it is also unable to expand externally.

So between the three countries, a fragile balance is maintained!

Skirmishes may occur until each is ready, but a large-scale war is never possible!

This also happened to be in line with Chen Yan's intentions, allowing him to prepare for the reform wholeheartedly!

It's just that just when Chen Yan was still excited, imagining that after his successful reform, he would sweep the world, some people poured a big basin of cold water on his head.

"Great King, something happened, thousands of scholars in the territory of Great Qin gathered in Jingzhao Mansion, and they are gathering on Suzaku Street, as if they want to detain Que!"

Zhao Chengan came to Chen Yan in a panic and said, beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from his forehead.

Buckle que!

That's a deduction!

A group of people gathered in front of the palace and then forced the emperor to give in, this kind of thing is too serious!

If you meet a hot-tempered emperor, you can't take off the big hat of rebellion.

And what about Chen Yan?

His temper wasn't too good.

Zhao Chengxin was frightened, and his body trembled slightly.

After Chen Yan listened to Zhao Chengan's words, a pair of good-looking eyebrows frowned slightly, and a faint light flashed in the eyes of the team under the eyebrows.

"Buckle? What are they trying to do? ”

Chen asked in a somewhat unkind tone.

"Big ...... King, the old slave doesn't dare to say it! ”

Zhao Cheng'an said tremblingly.

"Say, I forgive you."

Chen Yan put down the red pen in his hand, got up from the chair, and walked to Zhao Chengan with his hands behind his back and said.

"Yes!"

Zhao Chengan took a deep breath and said.

"They demanded that the king retract his mandate and suspend the reforms."

Chen Yan bowed slightly, but there was no imaginary anger, he could guess what these scholars were talking about.

Be mentally prepared, and if you hear this now, you won't dare to be angry!

"Let them be dispersed, and do not hurt anyone."

Chen Yan commanded.

"No!"

Zhao Chengan bowed down and took the order to leave.

"Wait a minute, you go in person and appease those scholars, most of them are still deceived by traitors, and they don't care about them."

Chen Yan said.

Since ancient times, the best fan has undoubtedly been students, who are hot-blooded and impulsive, and will be used by people with intentions before they know it.

Although Chen Yan's reforms would harm the interests of the landlord class, it was only the big landlords and the big gentry who really suffered.

For those small landlords, in fact, Chen Yan's reforms had no effect on them.

Behind most of the scholars, there are only small landlords, and those who come out of big landlord families are still a minority after all.

Even Chen Yan's reforms were beneficial to scholars from small landlord families.

Originally, there were only so many official positions in the whole world, and the number of scholars was many times the number of official positions.

Not to mention a radish and a pit, even if it is several radishes and a pit, it still can't be arranged, which is also the source of the redundant official system of the Great Song Dynasty.

If an official position is vacant, the competition will be extremely fierce, and countless scholars will have to compete for it.

With the same ability, it is definitely the scholars from the big landlord family who are selected, not the scholars from the small landlord family.

Cause...... Emma, everybody gets it!

Even, even if the two are more capable than a scholar from a small landlord family, then he has little chance of being selected as an official.

And what about Chen Yan's reforms?

It is to want to penetrate the minions of imperial power deep into the countryside.

This also means that more official positions have appeared!
