The autumn rain continues, and the weather is getting cooler.

In the 100 million years old hall, Luo Cheng looked at the report sent by the Imperial City Division, "Ma Zhou, the new official, took office with three fires, and the fire is still quite prosperous." As soon as he arrived in Hengshan, the first fire he burned was to exterminate more than 3,000 Hengshan thieves and dig out the big pillar insects in Hengshan County. Immediately after the second fire, the whole county suppressed bandits, suppressed 37 bandits and thieves, and captured more than 10,000 thieves. The third fire demolished more than 1,000 obscene shrines in Hengshan County, and cleaned up and rectified the Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in the county, and more than 5,000 monks and monks returned to the laity. ”

Sun Wuji, the eldest son of the Imperial History, said to his brother-in-law with a smile, "Young man, your blood is strong." ”

"Ma Zhou is older than you." Luo Cheng said with a smile.

The eldest grandson Wuji laughed, now the official position is getting higher and higher, although he has not yet worshiped the prime minister, but he has officially entered the imperial meeting of the Xuanzheng Palace, and he lives in a high place, and sometimes his momentum has changed, and it seems that he is much more mature with age.

"Daqin needs some officials like Ma Zhou and you who are young and promising, and dare to fight." Luo Cheng closed the fold and expressed his satisfaction with Ma Zhou and Li Gang's fires in Hengshan County.

Daqin has no shortage of smart officials, but what is most needed is an official like Ma Zhou and them who do practical things, like Feng Deyi, smart is smart, but too smart, all day long only knows how to figure out the holy will, likes to bend to meet the will, and even always thinks about the pros and cons of gains and losses, thinking about how to climb up, this kind of official is not a good official, Luo Cheng will use it when no one uses it, but as soon as there is a more loyal and capable official, he will definitely be kicked aside.

"Mowgli, I've been reading lately, and I've often thought about a sentence and thought twice."

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a moment, thought twice, thought about the danger, thought about the change, what does the emperor mean by this.

"I once heard the report of the Imperial City Division, saying that Feng Deyi and his sons once said these three thoughts, saying that as an official, think twice, know the danger and avoid it, hide in a place where people don't pay attention to you, and then slowly look and think slowly, think about what you did wrong before, and what to do in the future, this is called thinking change. I felt that Feng Deyi's words were still very right, although they revealed his cunning nature. ”

"As the Son of Heaven, I should also think twice."

The eldest grandson Wuji asked, "The sage is the Son of Heaven, and now that Great Qin is incomparably strong, why should he think about danger and retreat?" Isn't this the time to do something head-on? ”

Luo Cheng smiled, "The sea sails by the helmsman, a big empire like Daqin is actually a ship, I am the captain, responsible for formulating the route, as for the specific operation, it depends on other people." Now that there are all the Zaifu in the court of the central government, they are all talented, I am not worried about execution, nor am I worried about the present, I am still worried about the long-term. ”

In the final analysis, Luo Cheng believes that the founding emperor's influence on an empire is huge, and even determines how much the empire can go, the key lies in the system he formulated.

"Zhou Tianzi was feudal, inherent in the world for 800 years, but the feudal system also made the feudal princes finally sit large, and the vassal states attacked and annexed each other, and finally destroyed Zhou. Qin unified the six countries, abolished the feudal division and implemented the county system to centralize power, but the reform was too fast, and after all, the second died. Han Liu Bang defeated Chu and won the world, implemented the parallel system of feudal countries and counties, and different surnames were not allowed to be crowned kings, and the re-establishment of the feudal system still led to the strength of the vassal states, so there was a rebellion of the seven kings. ”

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pushed the encumbrarian system to solve the threat of the Western Han vassal states, and then the Western Han Dynasty feudal vassal states could no longer threaten the central court, but the Western Han Dynasty court continued to centralize power, and this centralized power eventually caused the ministers and eunuchs, especially the imperial court's inspection system, creating a powerful scholar group, and the scholar group eventually formed a powerful minister. The emperor was not allowed to use eunuchs to fight against the scholar group, and in the end, the Han Dynasty died by force. ”

It is said that history can be used as a mirror.

What Luo Cheng began to think about now was no longer in the immediate future, he began to think about the longer term, how far his empire could go, and how it would eventually perish?

He knew that he would live to be sixty or seventy years old at most, and his Great Qin might last for two or three hundred years, but Luo Cheng didn't expect immortality, but he still hoped that his empire would go a little farther.

"At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, a hundred years of turmoil, and finally the unification of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the emergence of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, not only did not curb the interest groups produced by the Han Dynasty's inspection system, but even made it further form a more powerful scholar gate. And the Jin re-promotion of the separation, after all, still led to the rebellion of the Eight Kings. ”

"The Shizu Gate Valve Group formed by the Jiupin Zhongzheng System influenced the entire Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties era."

"It wasn't until the appearance of the Guanlong military aristocratic group in the Western Wei Dynasty that the Shi clan gate lord was slightly suppressed."

Luo Cheng and his brother-in-law eldest grandson Wuji talked about these dynasties, and the system of each dynasty is actually a repair of the system of the previous dynasty, but the result is that often the new system will create a new vested interest group.

The vassal states created by the Zhou Dynasty's feudal system, the princes and scholars created by the Han Dynasty's feudal system and Chaju, the gate valve created by the Wei and Jin Dynasty Jiupin Zhongzheng, and the Western Wei Dynasty soldiers created the Guanlong military aristocratic group.

"I often think, what kind of vested interest groups will be created by my Daqin's system now! Mowgli, you say, what kind of interest groups will I create with the current system? ”

Speaking of which, Luo Cheng was indeed full of worries.

The eldest grandson Wuji really hadn't considered this issue from this perspective before, but now when he heard the emperor say this, he thought about it carefully.

What are the key to Daqin's system? For example, the feudal system of the princes? Will there be a situation like the Western Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty where the princes will make a mess, he thinks it is unlikely, after all, the division of this dynasty has made many restrictions early on, such as it can only be divided into the most frontier areas, and at the same time, there is also a Tui'en sub-feud, and the princes' fiefs will be divided to their descendants from generation to generation, so that the fiefs will continue to become smaller. In addition, although the imperial court let the princes become a vassal country, the military, civil, financial and tax powers of the fiefs are in the hands of the imperial court, and the princes are in the fiefdoms, but they only have part of the economic and financial rights.

It is impossible for the princes to threaten the imperial court like the Western Han Dynasty or the Western Jin Dynasty, let alone to say that they are like the Zhou Dynasty.

With this feudal system designed by the emperor, it can be said that although after a few generations, the imperial court will have a relatively large group of princes and nobles, but the power of this noble group is limited, and there will not be much threat to the centralization of the imperial court.

What other system creates powerful interest groups?

He thought about it, is it a government military system, a conscription system, or a imperial examination system?

"Mowgli, know everything, say everything, there is no other person here, you can tell me what you think, just say it."
