Chapter 965: The proposal passed
His Majesty Second Baggage muttered, "Try? ”
By using the method of "trial implementation" to confine the reform to one place, even if there are serious consequences, it can be constrained within a controllable range, and it can advance and retreat freely.
That's a good idea.
"In that case, how about using Jingzhao Mansion as a pilot?"
His Majesty Li Er proposed.
"Your Majesty, by all means!"
The eldest grandson Wuji was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly spoke to stop him.
He finally figured out why His Majesty came up with such a method of "changing the state government", strengthening the centralization of power may be true, but the most real purpose is this Jingzhao Mansion! Your Majesty is planning to attack the Guanlong Group living in Guanzhong!
Maybe Your Majesty will not decide to uproot the Guanlong Group, which will inevitably lead to turmoil in Guanzhong and affect the foundation of the empire, but it is almost inevitable to suppress the Guanlong Group fiercely!
Who told Guanlong Group that it always refused to stop and kept making small moves behind its back?
His Majesty Li Er's face was uncertain: "Auxiliary, what's wrong?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's brain is spinning rapidly, and he must prevent His Majesty from setting up Jingzhao Mansion!
Chang'an belongs to Yongzhou, and Yongzhou is the direct subordinate territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the highest governor of Yongzhou, Yongzhou Mu, is concurrently served by His Majesty himself! But as an emperor, how can he have the leisure and energy to deal with the military and political chores of a state? Therefore, the governance power of Yongzhou is actually in the hands of subordinate officials.
And most of these officials were born in the Guanlong family......
After decades of political turmoil and changes in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, not only the family in Guanzhong is still rooted in Guanzhong, but even several families in Longxi also have huge family businesses in Guanzhong.
Your Majesty wants to firmly grasp the rights of Yongzhou in his hands, which is equivalent to choking the neck of the Guan Long family!
The eldest grandson Wuji secretly swallowed his spittle and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, Guanzhong is the land of the Tang Dynasty, and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan are the foundation of the world, and there is no room for the slightest turmoil. If Guanzhong is not appeased, the world will not be appeased! Your Majesty, please think again. ”
This reason is not far-fetched, on the contrary, it is powerful.
In all dynasties, who dares not to pay attention to the land of Gyeonggi, where the national capital is located?
Since Qin Shi Huang unified China, the capitals and capitals of all dynasties were basically administrative regions directly under the central government, so as to strengthen management and control. Qin Shi Huang divided the country into 36 counties, the capital Xianyang and the "Inner History County" located around the capital, both of which were directly under the central government.
The capital of the Western Han Dynasty was Chang'an, and some counties resumed the feudal system, and some counties were directly under the center, such as the three counties near the capital that set up Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi, and Right Fufeng, which were directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The Eastern Han Dynasty set the capital of Luoyang, added Henan Yin, and the "three auxiliaries" were directly governed by the center, and the Three Kingdoms and the two Jin Dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui also followed the previous system.
In the Tang Dynasty, the original "three auxiliaries" were assigned to Yongzhou, and the emperor personally served as the pastor of Yongzhou.
Once the reform triggers turmoil in Guanzhong, the consequences are unimaginable!
His Majesty Li Er was silent.
He was extremely unhappy in his heart, not thinking that this was the eldest grandson Wuji thinking for the court and for him Li Er, but deliberately seeking the well-being of the entire Guanlong Group. Everyone can see that the "Jingzhao Mansion" he set up is to hold the power of Yongzhou tightly in his hands, and the corresponding is that the control of the Guanlong clique in the Guanzhong area will be greatly reduced.
The eldest grandson, Wuji, is the spokesperson of the entire Guanlong Group!
But I am the emperor, when the imperial power conflicts with the selfish interests in your hands, shouldn't your eldest grandson Wuji stand on my side without hesitation?
His chest was sullen, his face was gloomy, and he was holding back a depressed fire.
He is my playmate since childhood, my close comrade-in-arms, and the Queen's brother! I had made an oath at the queen's sickbed, promising to treat the eldest grandson well, how could I break my promise to the queen?
Therefore, the iron factory of the eldest grandson's family once monopolized the pig iron market of the entire Tang Dynasty, and he let it go; The eldest grandson conspired against usurpation, he didn't even want to pursue it, even if it caused his most beloved daughter to be lonely all her life, he let her hide somewhere and continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.
Therefore, even if the eldest grandson Wuji is still fighting for power and profit for the Guanlong Group today, he does not plan to tear his face and knock the eldest grandson Wuji and the entire eldest grandson family into the dust.
After all, it was the queen's family, the queen's relatives......
Closing his eyes slightly, His Majesty Li Er let out a long breath, then opened his eyes and glanced at Cen Wenwen.
Cen Wenwen said: "Zhao Guogong's words, please forgive me for disagreeing. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was displeased: "Is what so-and-so said wrong?" ”
He didn't notice that His Majesty Li Er glanced at Cen Wenwen, and took it for granted that Cen Wenwen was going to go against him. This old man is from Henan, and he has nothing to do with the Guan Long family, so he must want to suppress the Guan Long family to curry favor with His Majesty......
Cen Wenwen smiled: "Zhao Guogong is right, but it's not right. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji snorted: "I want to hear about it." ”
Cen Wenwen said leisurely: "As Zhao Guogong said, the land of Guanzhong Sanfu is the foundation of the empire, and there must be no turmoil in the hearts of the people and unquiet society, otherwise it will be the source of the empire's chaos and the harbinger of the Tang Dynasty." But at present, the county governments in Guanzhong are spending money on soldiers and public security, and the rangers from all over the world are gathered in Chang'an City, shouting brawls, abducting and trafficking in human beings, and annihilating prostitute women, which is shocking! ”
The eldest grandson, Wuji, pondered how to refute it......
As the world's largest, most populous and most economically prosperous megacity, Chang'an City attracts tens of thousands of people from all walks of life every year.
Some of these people are studying, some are doing business, and some are buying real estate, so naturally there are thieves and bandits who do evil and exterminate prostitution and plunder. These people often live in the homes of powerful people as rangers, helping them run their industries, take care of their homes and homes, and do many illegal things.
Therefore, as the population of Chang'an City increases, social security naturally becomes worse and worse.
Cen Wenwen continued: "Chang'an is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the face of the country, and it is still so pickled and filthy, how is it in Xianyang City? How about Sanyuan? How is Jingyang? How is Lantian? No need to ask, it's bound to be worse. Since it is the best place in the empire, it is natural to have the atmosphere of imperial civilization, but now Guanzhong is already terminally ill, and serious diseases need fierce medicine, so why not take this opportunity to reform the institution and add Jingzhao Mansion to completely eliminate it from the root? Therefore, the old minister agreed to add Jingzhao Mansion. Not only did he agree, but he also implored His Majesty to make a charter as soon as possible, sooner rather than later. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji secretly said that it is not good!
How did this old thing get involved in law and order?
It must be known that almost all the gambling houses, brothels, green buildings, and wine shops in Chang'an City are all the properties of the Guanlong family. And these industries are the places where dirt is hidden, and the root cause of social order.
Picking fault with the pigtails of the Guan Long family, the eldest grandson Wuji doesn't know if he should refute it? After all, he himself is a member of the Guanlong Group, and he is still the largest one......
His Majesty Li Er nodded slowly, obviously very satisfied with Cen Wenwen's words, he looked at Fang Xuanling: "What does Xuanling think?" ”
Fang Xuanling said simply: "Jing Ren knows the subtleties, and what he says is to the point, and we can't ignore it." In fact, not only is the public security situation in Guanzhong deteriorating, but the grain tax revenue in the surrounding counties of Chang'an has also declined year by year in recent years, and many powerful people have wantonly enclosed land, but the people are invincible and can be planted, either reduced to tenants or displaced, which not only increases the difficulty of social security governance, but also affects the imperial tax revenue. The old minister agreed to add Jingzhao Mansion to eliminate these stubborn diseases one by one. ”
The emperor's intention to add Jingzhao Mansion has been decided, and it is indeed a good thing, Fang Xuanling will only oppose it if he is stupid!
As for the forcible occupation of land by the magnates, this is an unavoidable thing in all dynasties, and the lords of the powerful families do not have to pay taxes and food, which will naturally affect the national tax revenue. It's just that Fang Xuanling once had an in-depth discussion with Fang Jun at home about this problem, and if he wants to completely solve it, it is definitely not to add a Jingzhao Mansion, there is only one way, that is, the imperial court vigorously set up commerce, take the eyes of the powerful landlords off the land, and at the same time let the emerging business absorb more landless peasants to achieve the purpose of two-way adjustment.
His Majesty Li Er glanced at Eldest Sun Wuji lightly, and said, "Since this is the case, this matter will be decided." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's heart was desolate, and it was replaced by a deep panic in an instant.
