Chapter 508: The Landscape Is Picturesque (2)
Under the central government, of course, the official position of the eleven states currently controlled by Ji Han is the most conspicuous. Here, Guan Yi made changes to the focus of the state government.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were thirteen states and one hundred and eight counties. The state assassin is a middle-level official with an annual salary of 600 stones, and the county governor below the state is a high-ranking official with 2,000 stones. At that time, the state assassination history only had the right to supervise the counties below, but did not have specific civil, financial, personnel, and military powers. There is no right to interfere with the filial piety recommended by the counties.
This arrangement is reasonable: the central government exercises direct and strong control over the administrative units at the county level, which makes it impossible to form a strong separatist force at the local level. The development of top families is restricted, and there is still room for survival, development, and strength for middle-level families and even wealthy families. Relatively speaking, due to the mutual restraint of large and medium-sized families, the lives of ordinary people will be better.
By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the rebellions in various places, the scope of rebellions was often as wide as several counties or even states. The county guards alone were no longer able to effectively control the situation. Therefore, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty followed Liu Yan's suggestion and changed the history of the state assassin to the state pastor.
The power of the governor is too great: he is responsible for the civil, financial, and military affairs of the entire state. Therefore, as soon as Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty collapsed, coupled with Dong Zhuo's brutal rule, the entire Eastern Han Dynasty fell apart in an instant.
During the Three Kingdoms era, there was only one state in Shu Han, and there was nothing to say. Both Cao Wei and Eastern Wu practiced the system of large military regions. That is, to add various generals, governors, and military titles to important ministers, and let them serve as commanders of a certain military region. The governor or governor of each state, if he does not have the title of general or governor, is only responsible for civil affairs. This is a preliminary separation of military and civilian population.
Now, Guan Yi's power settings at the local level are:
First, the administrative organs at the state, county, and county levels will continue to be retained. In addition, retired or disabled veterans are appointed as township chiefs and pavilion chiefs to strengthen local control.
Second, continue to implement the system of large military regions. In the hands of the local administrators, there are hundreds of county and county soldiers who maintain law and order, and the real field army is relatively completely separated from the civil affairs system.
Third, the personnel and financial powers of the state-level governments should be weakened, but at the same time, the supervisory and appraisal powers of the governments at this level should be strengthened. In terms of civil power, the main responsibilities of the state government are also functions such as guidance and coordination.
In short, the country is too big after all, and it is necessary to divide it into a dozen states. However, the influence of the central government must be carried out directly to the grassroots level. Therefore, personnel and financial powers must be dispersed to the counties. The state governments at all levels are more like central agencies than real first-level governments.
Well, in fact, the governor of the Ming Dynasty was only an official sent by the central government at the beginning, not a first-level provincial government. However, with the game between the local government and the central government, the governor gradually became a de facto high-ranking official (strictly speaking, a high-ranking official should be a political envoy). Guan Yi also didn't know how long such a system would last. But he knew very well that the dispersion of production in the agrarian society made the economic ties between the whole country weak at all times except in times of disaster. This is the root of the natural separatist force. As a result of the growing separatist forces, the central government had to strengthen the power of the magistrates in order to maintain unity. In the end, decentralization became centralized.
The only way to overcome such inertia is to strengthen the economic ties and psychological identity of various places, and this requires cultural immersion, the improvement of transportation and the development of industry. The former is unique in the world. The latter two are the responsibility of the traverser.
In short, the power of the assassin has been weakened. But in the end, it has a huge impact on a state and has a lofty status, so the history of these eleven states has attracted the attention and contention of people from all factions.
After another round of repeated consultations, the candidates for the eleven states were finally decided.
Yizhou Thorn History: Ma Yi (the governor of Nanzhong is no longer set).
History of Liangzhou Thorn: Chen Can (Dong Ju retired).
Yongzhou Thorn History: Pang Hong.
History of Youzhou Thorn: Mao Jiong.
History of Pingzhou Thorn: Yang Ji.
Jizhou Thorn History: Chen Shou.
History of Qingzhou Thorn: Li Xiang.
History of the state thorn: Du Zhen.
Xuzhou Thorn History: Wei Qiang.
History of Yuzhou Thorn: Yanghu.
The last state, Yanzhou. After solemnly negotiating with Liu Chen, Guan Yi chose a character that no one thought of to make a history of assassination.
The eldest grandson of Liu Xie, the last emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Kang, who was titled the Duke of Shanyang when the Jin Kingdom fell.
After Ji Han took the eight states in the eastern part of the country, the Chang'an regime did not recognize all the various princes, dukes, and marquis of Cao Wei and Sima Jin in the past. Even if Xu Cong made meritorious contributions to Luoyang Kaicheng, he was only given a new Marquis of Ting, and the previous Marquis of Muxiang was gone.
Therefore, the Principality of Sanyang is naturally gone.
But, after all, people are descendants of the royal family of the previous dynasty, aren't you Ji Han known as the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty? Why are the descendants of the Han emperors of the previous dynasty treated so harshly?
In terms of generation, Liu Chan and Liu Xie are equals, so Liu Chen is a generation higher than Liu Kang. But the current Liu Chen can't give up the throne to Liu Kang, and then go to be a new generation of Uncle Liu, right?
Therefore, Liu Chen could only give the other party the title of a county marquis to temporarily appease: this county marquis was not Sima Yan's kind of county marquis who could act cheaply in the fief. It is the traditional county of the Han Dynasty: this county pays a certain amount of taxes every year to your family's expenses. That's all.
Such an arrangement, of course, caused some murmur. Therefore, after discussing with Guan Yi, Liu Chen directly gave Liu Kang the position of Yanzhou Assassin: I asked my distant nephew not to be an empty duke, and gave him a real job to do things, my heart is broad enough, right?
It doesn't matter if the heart is broad-minded, but the bread here hides the sinister intentions of Da Sima, that's for sure.
There is a famous saying on the Internet in later generations: the reason why the working class in the capitalist countries feel that life is good now is because the Soviet Union still exists.
There is also a sentence to the effect that although you often complain about the unfairness of life, the reason why you can complain casually on the Internet instead of worrying about which stray bullet will kill you all day long. It is precisely because the ruling party you complain about still exists.
It is foreseeable that in the new round of reform in the future, the eleven states of Jihan, especially the newly incorporated eight states of Kanto, will definitely arouse strong resistance from some families. Because the family's control over the grassroots is deep-rooted, it is not a retired veteran who has just gone down to the township pavilions and is lonely can completely contend with it. Therefore, at the beginning, some people who did not know the truth would definitely be instigated by the family and cause chaos.
At this time, in addition to simple suppression, the best way is to set a benchmark for comparison.
Yanzhou is full of families. It is also located in the heart of the heart. If there is a rebellion in the future, it is destined to become the main battlefield. However, he is now a complete inland state, far away from Soochow and even the alien races in the north, and even if he is in turmoil, he will not be able to get effective support from external forces.
So, Liu Kangtong's shoes, you go to do the history of thorns, we don't let you be rice worms, give you real power to let you do things. That's big enough, isn't it? And in order to dispel your concerns, we don't even send veterans and remnants here, and in order to maintain stability here, we don't even change the chief officials of each county much. Enough interesting, right?
Anyway, the current eight states in Kanto and the five states in Hebei Province use the shareholders of the Fuxing Society to make the history of thorns. The border areas of the three states of Henan used the famous ministers of the former Jin State. In this case, Yanzhou used the royal family of the former dynasty. When the time comes, everyone can compare them: the imperial court will count the population and cultivated land growth of each state every year. Words can lie, but numbers don't.
At that time, families and people all over the country will understand which state is doing a good job and which state is doing a good job. New policies such as Ji Han are really good for the people!
And people like you who have been doing this for decades will also know how difficult it is for us Ji Han to be able to get to where we are today with a state. At that time, maybe your heart will really calm down your unwilling emotions and be a Shunmin wholeheartedly in the new Han! ()
