Chapter 397: The Dawn of the Times
The banquet was set up in the Hong'en Palace, in addition to the relatives of the hundred officials, civil and military honors, harem concubines, envoys of various countries, Antaihou, Xuanting Hou, the prince's mansion, and even the Luhou were all invited to attend.
The most unhappy thing is Xihuan, she never expected that only three years have passed, and a traveling doctor in the market has now become the humerus of the important minister for the honor guard of King Xian, let alone the proton of the country who was played with by her and applauded.
The seat is the most eye-catching of the Xuantinghou family, lying down can also tie up the three generations of Chenglong's fast son-in-law Fulu, there is no more fortunate and happier family than Xuantinghou in the world.
At the banquet, King Xian walked around with Bailiyan in his arms, and introduced the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, especially the relatives of the Jiang family, one by one, which not only highlighted the corporal of Xianwang Lixian, but also sent a clear political signal to the internal interest groups.
The celebration banquet lasted until dark, Bailiyan drank a lot of wine, and the liver detoxification enzyme was very strong, and he didn't get drunk after drinking a lot, and King Xian was drunk and was carried back to the harem by the concubines.
After the dismissal, Zhao Xun was drunk, and was about to get on the car with the support of the forbidden soldiers.
"Zhao Shuai!"
Zhao Xun was a little drunk, looked back, and said calmly:
"Oh, it's Wei Xian......"
"Thank you Zhao Shuai for the grace of cultivation, Wei Xian is unforgettable, please accept Wei Xian's worship!"
Baili Yan bowed deeply, but Zhao Xun was very calm:
"You are already a doctor, what kind of system have you become to worship me like this?"
"If it weren't for Zhao Shuai's grace, Wei Xianyan would be able to have today, and Zhao Shuai would have accepted it."
Zhao Xun patted Baili Yan's shoulder and said earnestly:
"Hehe, two of my Zhao Xunmen have come out of the ranks today, especially you are the most important, and this handsome man is very relieved. You and I will be officials in the same dynasty in the future, and we must think more about state affairs and share the worries of the king, and we must not make mistakes in the morning and evening, you must keep in mind. ”
"Wei Xian remembers, and never forgets Zhao Shuai's teachings for the rest of his life."
"Okay, Ben Shuai will rush back to Yongxing City tomorrow, you are good to be born as an official in the court, don't live up to the king, live up to Ben Shuai's hard work."
After speaking, Zhao Xun got into the carriage and disappeared on the gallop of the palace with the sound of the sparkling car.
At night, Bai Liyan was arranged to live in the independent courtyard of the Heart Pavilion, and as soon as she entered the inner house, she saw candles lit in the bedroom of the inner house, and there were two women faintly.
"It's you!"
Pushing open the door, I saw Chunrou and Chunfang dressed gorgeously, waiting next to the bed.
"General."
The two daughters saluted in unison, Bailiyan closed the door and loosened her belt, and the two daughters hurriedly stepped forward to loosen his clothes.
"Did the king send someone to pick you up?"
"Well, ten days ago, the king sent someone to pick up my sisters and children into the palace." Chunrou said carefully.
"In the future, if you have a mansion, you will live in the mansion with peace of mind, so as not to cause chaos and trouble."
"The general is now famous, and it is also the blessing of Chun Rou and his sister, where do you dare to ask for the general's mercy."
"Hehe, look at you, I've only been gone for a few days, and you're like a mouse again, I can eat you."
Taking Chunrou and Chunfang into his arms and blowing out the candle flame, Bailiyan enjoyed the passion and pleasure of skin collision.
The next day, it was three poles on the day, and after the imperial meal sent by the king of Xian, a eunuch led Bailiyan to Bailing Garden, and the king of Xian was drunk last night, but he got up very early, and he did not see the wine red of being drunk and unconscious.
"Minister Wei Xian, see the king."
King Xian looked at it with a smile, and then signaled and said:
"Let's go with the widow."
"No!"
King Xian left the eunuch palace maid, and only took twenty forbidden soldiers to accompany him ten steps behind him, and King Xian said as he walked:
"The burden on General Wei's shoulders is not light."
"The minister understands, so the minister has drafted a strategy, and he wants to choose the time to draft a strategy and present it to the king."
"I was still thinking about national affairs last night, and I was really bold to be a master of the arts." King Xian snickered, thinking about the situation last night.
"The king is a high minister, it is what the minister has been thinking recently, and it is by no means a lascivious essay."
"The widow has summoned you today to seek strength for my widow. General Wei thought that the outnumbered Xian State could now find a position among the great powers. ”
"It depends on whether the king seeks to make the country rich and the people strong, or the country strong and the people rich, or the country rich and strong, and the people prosperous."
"What do you mean?"
"The so-called rich country and strong people mean that the treasury is rich and the people are strong according to the treasury, but in fact the people are weak, not the real national strength. If we want the country to be strong and the people to be rich, we must first have the foundation of the country to rely on and the people's strength as the foundation in order to make the country strong and the people rich.
Now the mountains and rivers of Xianguo are broken, and the people's livelihood is withering, the former is feasible, but it is difficult to revive in 30 years, and the latter is difficult to do and cannot be done. In the end, the general thinks that for the moment, he can first try to make the country rich, then try to be strong, and finally enrich the people, so that the salty country can be strong. ”
"Why do the widows think that there is no difference between the country and the country and the people, and the country and the people, it seems that the two strategies are colluding."
According to common sense, the country's shaking will hurt the foundation, and the best policy is to cut taxes to support the people's livelihood and nourish the people's strength, but the premise is that there must be time, at least 20 years, to recover the vitality, and 50 years to be strong, while the Xianguo has no time.
Therefore, we can only enrich the treasury first, then strengthen the country, and finally enrich the people. However, enriching the state treasury cannot be done by exploiting and exploiting the people, and can only be used to open up sources and reduce expenditures. And the minister thinks that among the ten thousand laws, the first hundred craftsmen and education are recommended. ”
"Everyone else advocates strengthening the country with virtue and filial piety, why does General Wei promote hundreds of craftsmen and educate the country?"
"Hundreds of craftsmen and governing the country in the same line, if there is no hundred workers, there will be no agriculture, industry and commerce in the world, and there is not even a place for the king. For example, the spinning machine needed for spinning requires craftsmen and weavers, and the same is true for spinning fabrics, and even more so for armor equipment.
However, all the turnover and change in the world require a hundred craftsmen's skills, and the same is true of gold, silver, copper, coins, grain, and grass. And education is not all corrupt and empty talk about the way to mislead the country, but to emphasize practical learning, prosperity and innovation, and spread widely, so that everyone can do it, not the widow.
Since the minister's service, the soldiers and generals he has seen, and those who are illiterate abound, if it is only by the nobles, at the moment, it is really difficult to be used by the king, and it is used by the Xian country. ”
"Xing education, Changbai craftsmanship, the essence of General Wei, or use business to replace politics."
In the king's words, the minister really thinks so. Do what I can and others can't, the profit is the most abundant, and the speed of trying to be strong is the fastest. The king imagined, if he controlled all the wealth in the world in his hands, with the territory of Xianguo and Zhao Xun as the commander, even if there were only 200,000 elite soldiers, who would dare to bully in the world. ”
The traditional exemption from taxes and recuperation had neither time nor political capital for the middle princes of Xian, a powerful enemy surrounded by powerful enemies and almost in ruins.
The only feasible way is to liberate the productive forces and creativity, first popularize education in a small area, and at the same time develop a part of secondary education, take advantage of the wartime state of wartime, use the will of the state, concentrate the best resources near the capital, and forcibly promote the reform of technology and production relations, so as to seek the formation of a core economic circle in a short period of time, and use the economic circle as a radiation and model to quickly radiate to the whole country.
"The minister has calculated that if the new policy can be implemented between Yongxing City and the capital, on the boundary east of the Yongxing River, and at the same time, the agricultural mulberry can be rectified in various places, and the new farming method and fertilizer method can be promoted, and the Xianguo can be restored to the national strength before the Jiangdong War within five years, and the new policy can be extended to the entire capital and county after five years, and it can reach the strongest Xianguo in 50 years within ten years, and if it can be promoted to the whole country within 20 years, the Xianguo will become strong and even hegemonic, and it will be just around the corner."
"Tuba, can Xianguo really be Tuba in twenty years?" King Xian was confused and suspicious, and it was hard to imagine that the Xian Kingdom would be able to dominate twenty years later.
"King, there are already elite soldiers in the Xian country, as long as it is supplemented by national strength and the people are raised, this road can be profitable."
"In this case, General Wei will give it a go, and the widow trusts you as much as he trusts his own arm."
"King Xie!"
A few days later, the Zhao family in Tiancheng:
"An Ling, why are you still grinding here." Guan Longxiang urged, only to see Zhao Anling still writing something on the table. Guan Longxiang took a closer look and asked, "Brother An Lingxian, what are you writing here?" ”
"Don't you want me to give Wei Xian advice, as long as he can do these five things, I will do things for him."
Guan Longxiang frowned, picked up the copywriting and shook his head after reading it carefully:
"Nonsense, where can this be done, you want King Xian to cut off his arms and short tail to survive, how can King Xian listen to you."
"Then it's no wonder that I, Zhao Anling, am disrespectful."
Zhao Anling is very intelligent, before leaving Tiancheng, Bai Liyan invited the six surnames of the Zhao family to move to Yongxing, and asked Zhao Ju and Guan Longxiang to lobby Zhao Anling to be his staff, and Zhao Anling would not go to death. So he found five things as an excuse, as long as Bailiyan could handle him, he would be out.
The first is the law of the country
The second, the abolition of slaves
The third is the abolition of the "Grain Field Order", "Promoting Business Tax", and "Agricultural Mulberry Order"
Fourth, the establishment of the new field system
Fifth, cut taxes and support the people
These five are all major policy adjustments that want to be the king of Xian, the root of the life of the country, and shake the country's foundation, as Guan Longxiang said, are all nonsense.
"Brother Xian, which of these five things is done, they are all major events that hurt the muscles and bones and shake the world, how can you make sense in just a few words."
"Actually, it's not, the right time is now, and if you miss it, it's hard to have this opportunity in the next decades, or even a hundred years."
Zhao Anling's keen political sense has seen that the entire era is about to usher in the prelude to change, either life or death, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.
In fact, just four days before Zhao Anling issued the five conditions, the day after Bai Liyan talked with Xianwang Bailingyuan, King Xian issued an edict announcing to the world that Xianguo would completely abolish slavery, expand the threshold for self-redemption and redemption of lowly people, as well as various forms of substitution and substitution mechanisms.
And the conditions for the abolition of slavery were ripe, and under the repeated defeats of the Xian State, the economic decline, and the many exploitations of the war reparations, the slaves of the Xian State were almost all mortgaged to the Jin State and the Zhi State in the debt situation, and it was difficult to find slaves in the Xian State.
It is imperative to abolish the old slavery system and win the hearts and minds of the people in the world. And history will take this as a turning point and open a new and unknown new era.
On the afternoon of the day after the edict was issued, at the prince's mansion, Xihuan had just received a letter from Wei Han.
"The guy who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures!"
"Your Highness, what is the matter with General Wei's letter?" Gu Chen asked cautiously.
"Ji Guang wants to withdraw from the army, and he has ordered someone to send the secret letter to Pingtang, the national capital."
"As soon as Ji Guang leaves like this, won't the situation in Beihai, which has just stabilized, be in danger again, isn't he trapped in a princess and unkind!"
"My father is slightly ill, he wants to take advantage of the fact that his eldest brother doesn't know about military affairs, so as to shirk the responsibility of losing soldiers and generals, how can he be so cheap."
"Then His Highness means ......"
"This princess will immediately take a letter of resignation, and you must hurry up to explain the details to your father before the arrival of the secret letter from Jiguang."
