Chapter 1233 Counties and Partitions
Li Xinchen seemed to notice her embarrassment and waved her hand: "I'll just go back and wash my hands." ”
And Shen Wuhua plucked up the courage, walked straight over, carefully helped Li Xinchen wipe the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and dipped his handkerchief in warm water for Li Xinchen to wipe his hands.
This time, Li Xinchen did not refuse, let Shen Wuhua serve, and said with a smile: "I looked at such a big study as Uncle Chen, and I was also thinking about whether this governance of the world should be a county system or a sub-feudal system?" ”
The county system has already sprouted during the Warring States Period, and after the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, it governed the world with the county system and divided the world into 36 counties. After the fall of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang learned the lesson, believing that the Qin Dynasty had a big problem in local rule, and the most important thing was to trust the local officials too much, and the final fall of the Qin Dynasty was also caused by the scattered sand and the inability to gather into a force to resist.
Therefore, Liu Bang divided his relatives in various parts of the world, forming a pattern of coexistence of feudal states and counties, and facts have proved that these Liu clansmen, who were originally pinned on by Liu Bang to consolidate the rule of the Han family, not only became one of the main forces that plagued the local area and disturbed the supergang, but also repeatedly wanted to destroy the rule of the central court and replace it, the famous Seven Kings Rebellion is a typical example. Affected by the Rebellion of the Seven Kings, the national strength of the Han Dynasty could not be restored for a long time, which naturally caused the problem of long-term unresolved border troubles.
What's even more terrifying is that hundreds of years later, in the Western Jin Dynasty, the reproduction of the Rebellion of the Seven Kings - the Rebellion of the Eight Kings was staged again in the land of China, and the result was naturally the turmoil that lasted for 300 years and the tragedy of the Five Chaos in China.
Li Xinchen even felt that the most breezy sentence in history, but it was also the most tragic, was "this promoted national integration".
And the Rebellion of the Eight Kings was able to make the Western Jin Dynasty the most non-existent unified dynasty in China, because the feudal system gave these royal members of the Sima family too much power.
It is precisely because of the lessons learned from the Eight Kings Rebellion that there were no examples of large-scale feudal feuds in the Sui and Tang dynasties and then in the Song Dynasty, and even in the Tang and Song dynasties, the power of the princes was greatly restricted, and even the "Sixteen Princes' Mansion" appeared, putting these princes in a semi-imprisoned state.
Now the Han Dynasty is completely implementing a copy of the county system - the three-level system of prefectures, counties and counties, which is no different from the administrative management system of later generations. But now Li Xinchen also has to face a problem, that is, as the territory of the Han Dynasty continues to expand, is it necessary to divide the feudal territory to ensure the stability and continuation of the Han Dynasty.
But Li Xinchen also has to face another problem, that is, he has no brothers and uncles around him at all, if it is really a blood relationship, only Hongnong Yang may have a certain connection with Li Xinchen, and Li Xinchen's possible biological father Yang Su and the current Hongnong Yang family's Yang Su lineage are actually not close, if this is used as an excuse to directly divide the Hongnong Yang family, it is a bit far-fetched.
What's more, Li Xinchen also knows what Yang Su's son Yang Xuangan is in history, and it can be said that this guy laid a "solid foundation" for the fall apart of the Sui Dynasty.
Therefore, Li Xinchen can't completely relax about Yang Su and the Yang family, after all, there is such a pit father's son.
Therefore, even if he wants to divide the seal, he must also divide the different surnames with high loyalty such as Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie.
However, history has also proved that even if the same surname is the same, there is still a possibility, and even a large extent, rebellion, let alone a different surname. And even if the different surnames don't rebel, will the court really rest assured of them, and will they also be at ease with their heirs?
After all, once the feud is divided, then this king with a different surname will also have considerable power, and the emperor of Tiangao is far away, and the imperial court will not be able to restrain them. This Chen Shuling can do such a bad thing under the nose of the Southern Chen Imperial Court, so who knows what will happen in the rest of the places away from the surveillance of the imperial court?
Therefore, Li Xinchen has also been worried about this issue for a long time.
"Your Majesty may have a lot of worries," Shen Wuhua said thoughtfully, "The demise of Qin is not due to the improper management of the county system, but because the people of the Six Kingdoms are not in Qin, and Qin's law is too harsh, and in the long run, the people's will is depressed, but there is an outbreak, and the people's hearts are naturally floating, so Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were able to rise up, and the people won the grain and shadows." However, the reason for this is that the slave maid thinks that the laws of the Qin Dynasty are not flexible, and that the Qin Dynasty has failed to determine the hearts of the people of the Six Kingdoms, not the counties. In contrast, the rebellion of the Seven Kings of the Western Han Dynasty and the Rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Former Jin Dynasty were the 'greed of the royal family and the swallowing of elephants', which caused turmoil in the country. ”
Li Xinchen bowed slightly, the fall of the Qin Dynasty lies in the fact that the people do not want to obey the strict laws of the Qin Dynasty in their bones, and in the same way, the fall of the Tang Dynasty also lies in the fact that Huang Chao and others are dissatisfied with the harsh taxes of the imperial court and the policy of making people unable to see the way in.
Although it was not the grass cloth cloth that was the ultimate power, the grass cloth cloth was indeed the first person to stir up the world.
At least from the perspective of history, the following Sui and Tang dynasties did not implement the feudal system, so Li Xinchen's use of the feudal system to stabilize the place is naturally against the law of history.
If this problem is mainly focused on the people, then it is true that Li Xinchen is here to entangle the difference between counties and counties or feudal feuds, and it becomes meaningless.
"As long as Your Majesty can calm the hearts of the people, exercise benevolence, and punish the small, then the people will definitely be inclined to live and work in peace and contentment, and in this way, the imperial court will send officials to manage the place, even if these officials have bad intentions, it will be difficult to get the support of the rest of the officials and the people under him," Shen Wuhua said in a deep voice, "The jurisdiction of a place cannot be controlled by just one person, as long as the local officials and people express opposition, then it will be difficult for him to become a climate." If the imperial court can establish a perfect supervision and reporting system, then these officials will be in awe of the imperial court, and naturally they will not have other thoughts. ”
After a pause, Shen Wuhua then said: "On the contrary, once Your Majesty divides others in the Quartet, then you will inevitably give them the power to act cheaply, so that the local officials and the people know that the benevolent government comes from others, not Your Majesty, and they will also feel the kindness of others, and will not miss the rain and dew of Your Majesty. ”
In history, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, launched the Battle of Jingyan, and was able to resist several attacks by the imperial court with a lonely city of Yanjing, and even finally took Jinling all the way and replaced Emperor Jianwen, achieving a generation of hegemony of Ming Chengzu.
