Chapter 079: The Difference Between Food and Lu
The system of helping each other and the three divisions (public) and six ministries has been formulated, and this historical significance is very significant.
The reason why Zhao State, at this time, has the conditions to unify the world and replace Zhou Tianzi is because Zhao State has already achieved half of the monarchical centralized system. But this system has not yet been perfected. In fact, an imperfect system is better than no system.
However, Zhao Xing's natural reform allowed Zhao to completely improve the centralized system, truly laid the foundation of the feudal dynasty, and laid the foundation of the system for unifying the world. Zhao Xing's name can be engraved on the bamboo piece and cast at the bottom of the cauldron.
Although he was excluded from the distribution of power, Zhao Xing must also be grateful to continue to work for Zhao Guo.
Because of the three-division and six-department system, others don't understand it, only Zhao Xing understands it slightly.
As a result, the killing five-person group began to discuss and improve these systems day and night, and the most difficult thing was the candidate.
What is more difficult than the selection is the implementation of the stipend system.
In this era, other vassal states were still implementing the feudal system, but Zhao was the only one who really implemented the county system, which was nearly a hundred years earlier than Qin. It is also this system that gave rise to the Yulu system. However, in Zhao and other vassal states, the Yulu system and the Shiyi system were parallel.
The food eup, also called the caiyi, was for the nobility, and the Yulu system was for those scholars who did things for the country, because the scholars could not obtain fiefs and food estates.
However, now everyone is equivalent to officials who do things for the country, and if they are given to the fiefs again, they will touch the country's control over the aristocracy and the land. If everyone divides a fief into a fief, then the land of the country will be less, and the income of the country will be less. According to the current rules and regulations, the fief cannot be recovered, so the more it is sealed, the more it is sealed, and finally it will enter the dilemma of Zhou Tianzi, and finally it will be unsealable, and the monarch will eventually become poor.
However, the implementation of the system of suffrage will result in the exclusion of the nobles who still want to take the estates from the bureaucracy and the governance of the country. That's not a strong country, that's a hornet's nest, or the biggest hornet's nest. The aristocracy had no right to rebel.
In the end, in order to take into account the overall situation, it was announced to the world that the nobles were welcome to participate in the management of the country, but not to deprive you of your original fiefdom and food, but now you will not be given another food, only Yulu. And the money is changed with your official promotion, and when you are an official, you have a salary, and if you are not an official, you have no money. In other words, you will become a hired staff of the monarch, not a hereditary bureaucrat as a matter of course. You are hereditary in your fiefdom and your nobility, not in the case of an official who was promoted by his son in succession to his father's line.
The king acknowledges what you used to do, but he hired you to do what you are doing, and if you do a good job, the king continues to hire you, and if you don't do a good job, the king fires you.
In line with the principle of equal rights, you can also choose to endure the oppression and exploitation of your employer and boss for the sake of this income, of course. You have the backbone and don't bend your waist for a few buckets of rice, you can also resign. Everyone cooperates if it looks pleasing to the eye, and if it is not pleasing to the eye, then they will stare at each other.
According to Zhao Xing's words, the virtuous and virtuous ministers, the use of the ministers, the faint monarchs and the ministers, and the kicking of the leaves.
In this way, the hereditary lineage of the aristocracy was restricted in disguise, and the talented scholars and lower-class people were given a channel for promotion, so that the state could discover, promote, and reuse talents.
In particular, he avoided the sorrow of Wei and cultivated a steady stream of talents, but he was not tolerated by the aristocracy and had no channels for rising and developing, and finally went to various countries and became the enemies of Wei. Wei's death was due to the tragedy of not being able to retain talents.
In this era, Yulu was absolutely calculated according to grain, 3,000 stones, 2,000 stones, and the minimum was 300 stones.
Therefore, when the official receives the money, he must bring his pocket, then go to the public warehouse to collect it, and then carry it home.
If you want to cash in to buy chariots, horses, and slaves, you have to carry your pockets and go to the grain store to sell them. Not to mention the trouble, it is easy to be spoiled by the officials who distribute the grain.
However, such a method is also helpless, and now copper, that is, gold, is used to cast weapons, and there is a shortage of money in all countries. As a result, food could only be distributed.
Therefore, Zhao Xing proposed that he should not only take care of the lack of food at home and the panic in his heart, but also take care of the dignity and convenience of officials, half of the money and half of the food.
As for the lack of money, in the future, Zhao will implement Hufu cavalry shooting, and in the future, Zhao will begin to produce iron weapons, and a large number of bronze weapons will be eliminated and used to mint coins, and Zhao will no longer be short of money, and Zhao will develop economically because of sufficient coin circulation, so as to achieve a rich country and a strong army.
This is also Zhao Xing's fundamental purpose.
In fact, many things are like this, a little break will lead to more breakthroughs, and it will be a matter of course.
Of course, this still violated the interests of the nobility, and was also blocked and destroyed by the nobility.
But this also reflects the cunning of Zhao Xing's reforms, which this time were made bad by Zhao Xing and presided over by the monarch, not just supported. Help, generals, fake appearances, generals, eunuch orders, all the absolute upper echelons of Zhao State were implemented, and the Empress Dowager Zhao, who seriously protected the calves, supported her.
The country belongs to the monarch and is managed by the five most critical people, how do you want to drop? We have given in, and you are not yet satisfied, and we have destroyed you.
In the end, under the combination of soft and hard work of Zhao Yong's murderous five-person group, Zhao Guo successfully passed the reform of the official system, and achieved a clear division of responsibilities and powers, and a real centralized system of central monarchy.
After a struggle for power, the three divisions were decided.
But among the six departments, three are scholars, three are old-fashioned nobles, one is a prince, and two are rare scholars.
This opened up an opportunity for scholars to ascend to the high position of decision-makers in the imperial court, so that the scholars began to burst out with the energy they had suppressed for thousands of years, bringing fresh blood to the Zhao State.
In order to give more nobles, in fact, Zhao Xing continued to set aside a rising position for the scholars at the bottom, Zhao Xing proposed that each department should set up left and right servants, and each department should set up five to six divisions, each branch would pay a share, and each branch would set up two handlers.
Faced with the bill for the first month's expenses, Zhao Yong asked painfully: "Teacher, is such an arrangement necessary?" ”
Zhao Xing pointed to the carriages and horses of the scholars and talents who were pouring into Zhao because of the countries that blocked the road: "The talents of the various vassal states rushed to the Zhao State because of hundreds of buckets of rice, and with a few hundred buckets of rice, the Zhao State has a huge reserve of talents, and the other vassal states have lost talents. ”
Zhao Yong looked at the scholar who lived in the inn and asked for official recommendations, and finally threw the account book of Yulu that made him feel pain into the garbage pit: "The teacher is right, it is really necessary." ”
It's good, his dependence on himself is back.
