Chapter 369: The Law of Changing the Law (Part II)

There are many aspects of the reform, including the reform of the economic system, the reform of the political system, and of course, the reform of the military system. Compared with the political system and the military system, the reform of the economic system often involves a wider range of aspects, and the impact on society is more obvious, and the impact of mistakes is naturally worse.

Compared with the reform of the economic system, the reform of the political and military systems is more difficult and risky. Because military reform is directly related to the survival of the country, the appointment of personnel will also affect the core struggle of the imperial court and the personal safety of the Son of Heaven and even the imperial family, and it is directly related to the survival of the political power.

In the reform of the political system, the resistance to be faced by officials at all levels of the imperial court. Externally, what ordinary people can see is the issue of anti-corruption and clean government, but it has little to do with the daily life of ordinary people. However, the risks of political reform are no less great than those of military reform, because what needs to be reformed is the political system in the imperial court, and what it has to do is to touch the interests of high-ranking officials and eunuchs with vested interests and officials at all levels.

For example, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms during the period of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty was not caused by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty's efforts to weaken the strength of the vassal kings and strengthen the centralization of power? In the final analysis, it is just to abolish the parallel system of counties and states set by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and change them to the county system, which is a real political reform.

In Wang Anshi's reforms, there are three main parts, namely the law of enriching the country, the law of strengthening the army, and the law of taking soldiers, which involve three aspects: politics, economy, and military.

Wang Anshi's eyes are like a torch, and the reforms can be said to be to the point, but it is precisely because these reforms are too strong and involve too wide a wide range of areas, and all kinds of contradictions have suddenly erupted, which has brought unimaginable huge resistance to the reform, and it is not difficult to speculate on the failure of the reform.

In fact, according to Wang Anshi's reform method, it is a good policy to promote and implement a bill thoroughly within three years, which is a good policy for the benefit of the country and the people, but so many policies will be launched within a few years, where is there time to deepen a certain one? This is a typical tube to kill or bury!

After 2,000 years, Gorbachev's reform in the former Soviet Union failed, and the great reason was that the unstable position of the ruling party led to political chaos, and the end was the collapse of the Soviet Union and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe.

Judging from Guo Bin's current situation, because he is in troubled times, Guo Bin has heavy troops, but he can kill decisively, and can rely on strong military force to ensure the political stability of Yingchuan County. Moreover, Guo Bin has never mentioned the so-called reform, and all his new systems have been put forward unconsciously, and they are all proposed to solve practical problems in daily work.

The establishment of Yangzhai Construction Co., Ltd. in the form of grain shareholding is to solve the problem of food shortage in Yangzhai County; The implementation of the new household registration system is to take advantage of the trend and solve the management problem of more than 30,000 displaced people at the beginning; The implementation of new education in Yangzhai County School, with students who graduated from Fulong Villa School as teachers, is to improve the literacy rate of residents in Yangzhai County and to spread culture; On the surface, the purpose of implementing vouchers in the three cities outside the Saiwai and even in Yingchuan County is to facilitate settlement and reduce transaction costs, but in a larger way, it is to make the Xianbei people outside the Saiwai form a dependence on the economy of the Central Plains, so as to completely solve the infestation of the northern nomads.

It can be said that Guo Bin solved the new problems encountered in practical work through "new ideas", and finally formed a new system with his hands, which is a very smart and labor-saving approach, which not only solves the problem, but also carries "private goods", which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, which is very in line with Guo Bin's consistent style of acting.

To say that he was able to come up with such a method is also to draw on the practice of reform and opening up in later generations. The great chief designer said that our reform and opening up is like crossing a river by feeling the stones, which can be described as an extremely accurate metaphor. Because the river does not know the depth, you need to use your hands to test the stones little by little, and when the stones are touched, you can walk very steadily when you take a step.

Mistakes are allowed in reform, because since it is a temptation, there must always be a time when you are not sure, and as long as you touch the stone, the next steps can be taken steadily, and it can be regarded as a successful reform. Manpower is always sometimes poor, and a person's knowledge is always impossible to cover all aspects of society, so if you want to create a perfect system with a stroke of the pen, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, and the system designed is tantamount to talking on paper.

In the course of reform and opening up in later generations, leaders have always pointed out the direction and then let the people below try and explore on their own, and if they succeed, they will form a system, and if they fail, they will be immediately banned. Therefore, it can be said that the reform of later generations was carried out under the control of great designers, and although it was initiated from the top down, it was a real reform from the bottom up. This kind of reform path that follows the law of the natural development of things is the truly correct path.

The great man once commented on Wang Anshi's changes in the Xining period, saying that he "can be said to have specialized scholars, and those who die are defeated, have no general knowledge, do not know the society, and do not take unsuitable measures." It can be seen from this that a person's experience is limited, and the political resources he can control are also limited, so if the establishment of rules is carried out by a great person with outstanding insight to conquer the world in every detail, it will finally be divorced from reality.

Now, with the support of the Chen family of Xu County, the process of political integration of Yingchuan County has basically been on the right track, and what remains is the process of ideological unification and military integration.

The model of the manor economy allowed the local wealthy families to be self-contained in the estates, and many large-scale estates, except for the production and living necessities such as salt and iron, which were strictly managed by the imperial court, could even be self-sufficient behind closed doors. And this model of manor economy is the fundamental reason why the estates of all sizes in the world can protect themselves in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and resist the harassment of bandits and rebels for a long time.

In order to maintain order and resist foreign invasion, most of the manors had different numbers, different equipment, and different levels of training, and these armed forces were called tribals. At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, after the imperial court issued an edict to lift the ban on the party, it encouraged the landlords of the wealthy clans in the world to recruit troops and assist the official army to exterminate the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Guo Bin knows very well that under today's economic model with the manor economy as the main body, as a wealthy family with a certain strength in one place, it is necessary to maintain a certain amount of military strength. This is not only to defend against the remnants of the Yellow Turban that may appear at any time, but also to ensure the stability and order in the manor.

On this issue, Guo Bin had an in-depth discussion with Xi Zhicai. Today's opera Zhicai has also grown very rapidly compared to when he just followed Guo Bin, not only is he more handy in dealing with local affairs, but he has also greatly improved the height he stands on when dealing with problems.

It seems that no matter how famous a strategist is in history, if he wants to avoid the problem of being a master and a low master, he must go through practical tempering. If you want to really give full play to your full ability, you need to sharpen and train in your daily administrative work, not only Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and Xu Shu, but Guo Jia's performance is the most obvious. It is Guan Yu, who has now lost most of his temperament, is becoming more and more politically mature, and has also qualitatively improved his military command ability. Therefore, among the many generals under Guo Bin's command now, except for Zhao Yun, only Guan Yu is the only handsome person who can take charge of himself. As for Zhang Fei, although he has achieved high achievements in martial arts, he lacks interest in governing the country.

Regarding the question of the trilogy of various ethnic groups, Xi Zhicai said to Guo Bin: "Although the Yellow Turban is peaceful now, the war has not disappeared, and thieves have swarmed from all over the country, causing disaster for the place. Because of our army in the vicinity of Yangzhai and Changshe, there is no one who dares to come to gain a foothold, but there are always remnants of the Yellow Turban in other places who are doing evil. Therefore, in the present circumstances, the pacification of the places is really a matter of vital importance. ”

Guo Bin said: "What Zhicai said is very true, but the manors keep their families and tribes, and they disobey the laws of the imperial court, but it is ultimately a big trouble, and the world will be peaceful in the future, I am afraid that it will become a cancer in the world!" ”

Xi Zhicai nodded in agreement: "What the lord is worried about is exactly what Zhongxin thinks." It's just that if you want to make the wealthy families in various places disband, you have to start from both internal and external aspects. ”

Guo Bin said happily: "Oh? But what are the two aspects? ”

Xi Zhicai said: "Outside, the remnants of the Yellow Turban will be exterminated, so that there will be no bandits in Yingchuan; Internally, the economy was developed, and the economic system based on manors was completely broken. ”

Guo Bin listened to it and secretly praised it in his heart: "What a drama talent, worthy of being a wise and resourceful person valued by Cao Cao in history, and seeing the problem is really from a high position." "Carefully analyze Xi Zhicai's two policies, the first is to exterminate the remnants of the Yellow Turban that are circulating in Yingchuan, so that there are no bandits and bandits in the place, then there will be no reason for the manors in various places to gather a huge number of tribes, although it is impossible to completely eliminate the existence of the tribes, but it can be controlled within a certain range. Second, it is necessary to completely eliminate the economic form with the manor as the main body, which is the fundamental means to truly eliminate the existence of local armed forces at the root.

"If you want to break the manor economy, it is not easy, what is the best way for Zhicai?" Guo Bin asked.

Xi Zhicai looked at Guo Bin and said with a smile: "The lord asks knowingly, haven't you been doing this all along?" ”

Guo Bin's old face was slightly red, and he glanced at Xi Zhicai, laughing loudly.
