The third day of the first month of the first spring of the first year.

On this day, just after Pingming, the city tower in the north of Weiyang Palace was already lively.

From the three princes and nine Qing yamen of Chang'an and the special elders, the nobles and princes of the Beijing clan gathered together, lined up in accordance with the order of status and inferiority, and waited for the palace gate to open.

And throughout Chang'an, countless people couldn't sleep all night last night, tossing and turning for today's court discussion.

Today, it is the traditional Shuowang Dynasty.

However, in the past 60 years, there has never been a single synodic dynasty, and it has attracted the attention of public opinion all over the world more than this synodic dynasty.

At this moment, it's not just Chang'an.

In Luoyang, in Linzi, in Handan, in Nanyang, and in Chengdu, I don't know how many people, how many eyes, and how many forces are watching, paying attention to the final conclusion of this Shuowang Dynasty meeting, which is destined to determine the future direction of the Han Dynasty's economic policy.

It can be described as an unprecedented and important court meeting since the Han Dynasty.

Even, to exaggerate a little, this Shuowang Dynasty may determine the future national foundation and national policy of the Han Dynasty.

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty wants to establish a salt and iron order to govern merchants and increase taxes on cars, ships and mines, what is the Prime Minister's opinion?" A liehou quietly approached Huo Guang and inquired about the news and tone with bad intentions.

It is not news that the Son of Heaven wants to raise business taxes.

As early as before, the government and the opposition had already let the wind go, and it was rumored many times that they wanted to let Pingjia of Guanzhong counties participate in the Shuowang Dynasty without authority, and the government and the opposition discussed the tax amount, but for some reasons, it has been delayed until today.

The princes were very concerned about this matter.

But their concern was not so much the imposition of a tax on vehicles and vessels, but the extent to which Pingjia's authority over his arbitrary power might be strengthened.

In the past. The pingja system has been used in the markets and shopping malls to a certain extent to limit the trend of the princes and lords relying on their power and status, running rampant, and forcing them to buy and sell.

The position and authority of the arbitrary power of Ruopingjia were strengthened again. And get the endorsement of the Son of Heaven.

So......

Many lieges have decided to use a certain amount of resources to support and control a few Pingjia in the vicinity of their own feudal kingdom for their own benefit.

Even, marry a few daughters out. Woo these classes that may be fortunate.

When Huo Guang heard this, he smiled and did not answer.

The increase in the tax on vehicles and ships has now reached a consensus at the highest level and has been unanimously supported by the military.

What the Son of Heaven said makes a lot of sense.

If we don't levy taxes on those wealthy businessmen with millions, tens of millions, or even tens of thousands of dollars, do we want to add land taxes?

For the little careful thinking of the princes, as a member of the princes' class, how can Huo Guang not be clear?

With the beginning of the release of the wind today, to strengthen the power and status of Pingjia's arbitrary power, the nobles of the government and the opposition have begun to act in advance.

For the really powerful people, it is really not too simple to control the selection of the market Pingjia in a certain place.

In the past, people didn't do it because it didn't make any profit.

The Pingjia are nothing more than a candidate who deals with the government, negotiates official prices, and maintains market order at the same time.

But now it's different.

It is highly likely that the Pinjas will enter the pyramid of power and become part of the ruling class.

So. Even a pig knows how to capture this emerging power class of the future.

If you don't grasp power, your political enemies will.

Obviously, as the prime minister. Huo Guang has already decided to master and control the Pingjias.

Naturally, Huo Guang would not share this matter with others.

But the other princes thought further.

"Prime Minister, the servants heard that Pingyang and Gonggao may be the chief of Wuyuan Mountain, but I don't know. The prime minister thinks, which of these two has a better chance? Someone else asked quietly.

For the liehous, the core interests they really care about this time may be Wuyuan University, which is about to open.

For the first time since the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, specialized and professional military training institutions organized and led by the central government have appeared in China.

The establishment and operation of Wuyuan, since its name appeared in this world, has firmly attracted the attention of all the princes.

After all, since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, military generals, especially high-ranking military generals, have always been firmly in the hands of the Lieuhou group.

For decades, there have been outliers like Li Guang and Zhi Du.

Of all the other officers over 2,000 stones, who is not inextricably linked to the Liehou group?

Now, Wuyuan has been established, but it may break this pattern.

Historically, when an old pattern is broken, some people's interests will inevitably be damaged and some people will be eliminated, but there will also be lucky people who will ride the wind and waves, take advantage of the trend, and become the trendsetters of the times.

The wise princes naturally know how to stabilize their interests in this changing situation, and at the same time strive for greater rights and interests.

"I think that Qu Zhouhou has a better chance of winning...... this time Huo Guang replied, "However, how it is, it still depends on the holy judge!" ”

In fact, Huo Guang wanted to be the chief of this Wuyuan Mountain by himself.

This is a position that will truly bless future generations!

A mountain chief, educating hundreds or even thousands of generals.

These people, theoretically speaking, are the disciples and grandchildren of the mountain chief.

In the future, after graduating from Wuyuan and going to work, at least you have to read some incense, right?

In this way, it is equivalent to laying the foundation for the Zhou family for several generations!

It's a pity that as the prime minister, Huo Guang has no play, unless he is willing to resign as prime minister, and then go to fight with Li Li and Han Su for this position.

It's just that if you do this, you will be scolded if you look too ugly.

And on the other side.

The scholars and doctors gathered around the big farmland Yannian and the imperial historian Wei Xiang, and discussed the matter of Taixue and Guanlu fiercely.

There is nothing to say about the matter of observing the law, and the Son of Heaven has already made a decision last year.

But on the issue of Taixue, there is a lot to be written.

Like the princes, of course, the scholars also wanted to compete for the position of Taixue's mountain chief, sacrificial wine or something.

On the contrary, they did not care about the matter of salt and iron ordering the yamen and the increase in commercial taxes.

Actually, it's not that they don't want to care.

In fact, they have neither the strength nor the means to thwart the implementation of this policy.

The authority of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty has always been very important, and Taizu was able to point to the four emperors in Yongxian County and forcibly established the Black Emperor's legal system.

Now that the commercial tax is to be forcibly collected and the salt and iron order yamen to be set up, who would dare to stop it? Who can stop it?

Didn't you see it, even the businessmen and heroes in Guanzhong accepted their fate?

The Tian family, the No. 1 wealthy family in Guanzhong, has even spoken - for the Han people, paying taxes and serving is justified.

The implication is, Your Majesty, don't cut the knife too hard, be lighter, and I will admit it.

I can't help it!

Who dares to wrestle with the Son of Heaven, who holds a gun in his hand, and has received an endorsement from God, confirming the divine authority of the monarch, and the Son of Heaven, who is a living god?

The morale of the people and the morale of the army in the world are here in the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven alone can single-handedly take on the whole world.

In the face of such a celestial son, whether it is a businessman, a strong man, or a scholar and a noble prince, they all know what they should do.

The Son of Heaven can do whatever he wants.

What's more, the past experience seems to have told the merchant landlords Haoqiang and the scholar and marquis class.

Imagami sometimes messes around.

But it seems that after the nonsense, everyone's interests have not been damaged.

。。。。。 ......。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

For example, Emperor Xiaowu's salt and iron official camp.

Before it was implemented, Shang Jia Haoqiang cried and grabbed the ground, shouting 'compete with the people for profit' and 'this Qin law is also'.

What now?

His head hit the ground, and he just begged the big farmer and Shaofu to loosen the standard a little when they bought their own salt and iron utensils.

From top to bottom, they all make a lot of money.

Now, in Guanzhong, as long as you can find workers, pull a shelf, and open a workshop, you will almost make a profit!

"Woo minister, Jing'er is in the office! Wang Liercheng, come to consult Ru ......"

Accompanied by the chanting of ancient poems, chimes are ringing in unison, and drums are played in unison.

Liu Xun rode the Son of Heaven to drive from the apse of the Xuanshu Palace, through the palace, and into the main hall that was already brightly lit and surrounded by fire.

The ministers, hundreds of officials, and all the elders bowed down and bowed, "The ministers welcome Your Majesty's promotion to the government, and may my emperor live forever!" ”

Liu Xun wore the crown of the Son of Heaven on his head, held the sword of the Son of Heaven, stepped off the car, and climbed the throne dragon couch step by step.

Because today is the third day of the first month of spring, Liu Xun's Son of Heaven court clothes have also changed color, from Xuan Zhu to black.

This is the rule that Liu Bang made with Xiao He back then.

The so-called spring, summer, autumn and winter are served, and when the number of heaven and earth is the law, it wins people.

But in fact, even Liu Bang himself does not respect this regulation, and the formulators do not respect it, so don't think how much others value it.

In the past ten years, the old Liu family has been arrogant, so they picked up this system that was pressed in the pile of old papers, wiped the dust, and used it in a grand manner.

But it is only used on occasions such as the annual Great Pilgrimage and the Synodic Dynasty.

Usually in the Chang Dynasty, the emperor generally wore what he wanted.

"Zhu Qing is flat, give a seat!" Liu Xun sat on the royal couch, and Fu Jielang immediately presented the five seals of the Son of Heaven.

After the ministers sat down, Liu Xun said slowly, "Today is the Shuowang Dynasty, this Ming respects the elders, the first is Chonggong, and the three elders and the three princes are listed side by side in the pass!" ”

Then, with him, he moved his seat to the side of the prime minister and the imperial doctor, and sat down.

This is the biggest change that Liu Xun made in the system of the Shuowang Dynasty after he ascended the throne.

So that the three elders are in status, and the three are fair, etc.

It's a gentle strategy, and it's also a way to appease those who are about to retire - retired. You can still participate in national politics and contribute to the society!

This change was very effective and solved the worries of many retired scholars and ministers.

After all, power is such a thing. Who wants to give up?

If it were possible, the vast majority of people would have held on to their authority to death.

Thinking that back then, the middle doctor Shi Fen took the initiative to beg for the bones, and the first emperor was moved to tears, and he was given the honor of the lord of Guanglu. It is also allowed to enter the palace and enter the palace, and the deliberations are sparse.

The original intention was to let Shi Fen be an example and take the lead.

But whoever thinks that the ministers should not have seen this example.

I'd rather die on the job than let go.

It wasn't until Liu Xun played out that he respected the three elders that this situation changed.

Especially after the three elders can give the yellow intestine inscription, the golden jade clothes, and the unspoken rule of burying the princes and kings.

The princes, ministers, and doctors flocked to it.

Even Bo Yuenu, who has never been an official, recently hinted to Liu Xun that he wanted to be a third elder......

As for the local county, two thousand stones. It's even more tempting.

Since last year, many people have hinted that they are "old" and "willing to beg for bones and abdicate to make way for virtuous".

This is undoubtedly good news for the renewal of the officials of the Han family from generation to generation.

You must know that now, there are too many counties with 2,000 stones, and twenty years ago, or even thirty years ago, it was already 2,000 stones.

"The Evil God"

These ministers control almost half of the world's major county guards and county lieutenant positions. A large conservative bureaucracy was formed.

Being able to use the three elders to enter the special and release the military power with a glass of wine is a great benefit to Liu Xun.

The only problem is. For the time being, Liu Xun couldn't find so many suitable county guards and county lieutenants to replace them.

Therefore, it can only be replaced gradually.

After several veterans sat down, Liu Xun cleared his throat and said, "Fu Nong, the foundation of the world, I should open the field in person." I thought the world was ploughing! ”

"The minister Danong prolongs the year, the minister Shaofu is ten thousand years, I would like to give the edict!" The big farmland Yannian and Shaofu Chen Wannian immediately came out to receive the order.

However, the so-called pro-opening of the Han emperor's nationality is simply a joke.

Taizong was fine when he was in power, and he barely had to go down to the field to make a show.

Since the first emperor, it has been reduced to the Oscar ceremony.

From the emperor to the three princes and nine kings, they competed to act.

The emperor pushes three times, three dukes and six, if this is also called cultivated land, the landlords in the world can say that they are really diligent.

Finish this cutscene

, Shuowang Dynasty has entered the main topic.

According to tradition, Prime Minister Huo Guang first made a list of performances and said, "The minister and the prime minister died in order to play Your Majesty, the former Emperor Gao ordered the Jia people not to ride in clothes, heavy rent and taxes to embarrass and humiliate, which was intended to focus on agriculture and eliminate the end and rejuvenate the world. Now that Your Majesty is in the world, ruling Yuan Yuan, can you not check the pros and cons of this? Chenguang paused! ”

This is the so-called throwing bricks and stones.

Historically, when the emperor wants to move the cheese of a certain class, he has played like this.

The ministers have long been surprised.

Most of the courtiers didn't have a good face for the merchants.

Those nouveau riche, local tyrants, untouchables, and people with city registration actually have more wealth than the marquis of Wanhu and the princes and kings.

It's worth it!

The government and the opposition, as early as 20 years ago, were already shouting that they were going to knife the merchants.

The fault is not the old Huang faction, and if any of the Confucianism is on the stage, he would have already wielded a sickle and harvested and fattened the big businessmen.

Except for some old Huang ministers who stubbornly insisted that 'as long as the people did not break the law, the government should not take care of them', almost all the other courtiers celebrated.

Even, some guys have been thinking about how to make a fortune in this matter for a long time.

Think about it, what a fat piece of fat this must be for the sixty years of savings and land slaves accumulated by the merchants of the world!

You don't need much, just take a bite and you'll be able to eat with a mouthful of oil.

But Liu Xun will not give them this opportunity.

"I heard that the former Jia Changsha Emperor Taizong said that unfortunately there was a drought of two or three thousand miles, and the country was sympathetic? There is an emergency at the border, tens of millions of people, and the country is feeding it with soldiers? Since I was appointed by the first emperor and won the temple of Baozong, I have been dreaming of sleeping at night, and I often have this concern, so I am light on the meager endowment and live with the people. Reducing the use of pawns, revitalizing water conservancy, and strengthening military equipment are the health of heaven. A gentleman strives for self-improvement. The Prime Minister's discussion, I have relatives in my heart, agriculture is the foundation of the country, the country is sluggish, how can the world be safe? He ordered his servants to perform more than 600 stones......"

Many smart ministers heard Liu Xun's words. My heart suddenly cooled in half.

Why?

Because Liu Xun used a passage from Jia Yi and Jia Changsha's famous "On Accumulation and Sparseness" to make the opening.

The core idea of this sparse is to emphasize the 'etiquette of knowing the sufficiency of the warehouse', advocate encouraging production, suppressing consumption, strengthening savings, and encouraging grain storage.

Therefore, the attitude of the Son of Heaven has been very clear.

Production must be guaranteed, social order must be maintained, but the taxes of merchants must also be collected!

Countless ministers were suddenly the first two big, but they couldn't say anything.

Jia Yi Jia Changsha. Today's status in the socio-economic and ideological fields of the Han family is at the level of a champion.

At least, so far, there is no second talent in the government and the opposition who can slightly catch up with half the sleeves of this prodigy who is a genius.

Even if he made a mistake back then, he could only bow down under Jia Yi's edge.

But that's nothing.

The princes looked at their noses and their noses, and they had no enthusiasm for this matter.

It's not that they can't see the cats hidden in it. Rather, it is because the interests of most of the princes have nothing to do with it at all.

Everyone is now more concerned about the Wuyuan, the construction and planning of the land that has been blessed with a lot of grace.

Everyone is now educated to understand - in this world, His Majesty has the final say.

Don't chirp. Otherwise, Anping Hou Ge is a lesson from the past!

There will be no liehou who thinks that the title that has just been restored will be deposed again because of his opposition to the Prime Minister of the Son of Heaven.

As for the scholars, there was some confusion.

On the one hand, ideology and long-term education and universal values tell them that businessmen are the root of all evil in the world, the source of all evil, and they have all been killed. The world will be quiet, the same will be the same, and three generations can be expected.

It's just that, on the other hand, everyone rolled up their sleeves and suddenly found that they seemed to have a lot of inextricable connections with the businessmen.

You can hate merchants, but you can't stop them from liking merchants' five baht dollars.

So, this made the scholars very entangled.

Should it be opposed? Or is it in favor?

It seems that everything is wrong!

Then the scholars looked at the nobles who were in the presence of the old god.

Get!

The guys have already knelt down and sung conquest to His Majesty.

We're still struggling with!

In fact, in the court, as long as the emperor and the princes reach an agreement, all the scholars can do is 'long live, long live, long live, long live'.

It's just that the scholars and doctors have always been more arrogant.

If you want them to throw away the festival and lick the emperor on their knees, this bend won't be able to turn for a while.

At this time, the imperial historian Wei Xiang moved.

I saw Wei Xiang come out and say, "Your Majesty, the minister met Gong Yu, a disciple of Dong Gong, a doctor of the Spring and Autumn Period, two thousand stones, and got the "On Wealth and Wealth" written by him. ”

When Liu Xun heard this, he was taken aback!

it!

What a god this is unfolding!

Legalism and Confucianism merged?

But thinking about it carefully, Liu Xun felt that it was impossible.

Not to mention, whether Legalists have the will and motivation to merge with Confucianism, the difference in ideas alone is enough for Confucianism to tear apart for decades.

However, Wei Xiang himself and Confucianism have a lot of incense.

I think back then, Wei Xiang was a Confucian scholar and became a celebrity.

Therefore, at first, the onlookers who did not know the truth thought that this was a Confucian nerd.

In the process of taking up the post of imperial historian, Confucianism still made some efforts.

Of course, there were a lot of stumbling blocks.

In the past few hundred years, Confucianism has always been like this, both cooperative and confrontational.

Otherwise, there will be no 'internal Confucianism and external law' and 'Spring and Autumn Prison Break' in future generations.

After thinking about it, Liu Xun didn't bother to think about what was going on.

Anyway, whether Confucianism wants to play internal Confucianism and external law, or Legalism wants to cooperate with Confucianism.

It is beneficial to Liu Xun's current policy.
