Chapter 295: Central and Local

Regarding the disadvantages of Hongxiang officials, Guo Bin is a recent example.

Guo Bin was born in Yangzhai County, and although Fulong Villa has risen rapidly, there is no doubt about its huge influence in Yangzhai County and even Yingchuan County. Since the beginning of his career, Guo Bin has not had the intention of eating alone, but tried his best to contact the wealthy families in the township. Strive to integrate yourself into the upper class society of Yangzhai County as soon as possible, and become an important force that can influence the wealthy families in Yangzhai County.

Later, the establishment of Yangzhai Construction Co., Ltd. was an important measure to officially tie the wealthy families in Yangzhai County to the carriage of Fulong Villa. The influence of Yangzhai Construction Co., Ltd. in the world is undoubted, and it is not in vain that it can lead the large-scale construction group that can lead the reconstruction of Nangong?

With the success of Yangzhai Construction Co., Ltd., more and more companies jointly founded by the major wealthy families in Yangzhai County have emerged, whether it is Yangzhai clothing or Yangzhai stationery, the major wealthy families of the entire Yangzhai County are closely linked, and Guo Bin took office as the commander of Yangzhai County, which is to clarify its leadership position in the entire Yangzhai County.

Later, after the Battle of Changshe, in order to settle the captured 200,000 Yellow Turban prisoners, Guo Bin contacted the major wealthy clans in Yingchuan County through Xun Yu, and gathered the strength of the entire Yingchuan Hao clan.

This important task of contacting the Yingchuan wealthy family is not realized by Xun Yu by making empty promises to the major wealthy families, although there is also the face of the Yingchuan Xun family in it, but the most fundamental thing is the reputation of Guo Bin's good fortune boy and his deeds that never lose money. Of course, Guo Bin's business tradition of driving Zuixian Lou to the whole country and cooperating with local wealthy families to jointly invest in shares whenever it opens in a place has also played a great role. When it comes to such a huge amount of investment, the major wealthy families naturally weigh the pros and cons and look at the right side.

Guo Bin relied on the great success of the three cities outside the Saiwai and the huge amount of money that continued to flow to Yingchuan County, proving that the vision of the wealthy people in Yingchuan was correct. This, in turn, promoted the trust of the wealthy families in Yingchuan County to Guo Bin, making them unite more closely around Guo Bin.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Son of Heaven appointed Guo Bin as the county guard of Yingchuan, although it has the meaning of rewarding heroes, it also has its own political considerations and long-term layout, and more importantly, it depends on Guo Bin's loyalty and his influence in Yingchuan County. If Guo Bin served as the commander of Yingchuan County, he could quickly integrate the forces of the entire Yingchuan County, appease the local government, and support the central government. To say that the Han Dynasty still has many remnants of the tradition of the feudal state-building period, this means of controlling the place can also be extremely well expressed.

Although the Han Dynasty did have established the county system since the time of Qin Shi Huang, and in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, there was also a discussion of the county system and the feudal system, and even in the time of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, it also caused the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms that shook the world, but the county system was still implemented peacefully and steadily throughout the country by virtue of its undoubted advancement and adaptability to the new era.

However, the struggle between centralization and decentralization has never stopped.

In the Han Dynasty, compared with the feudal states with their own complete administrative system and independent military capabilities, the central government's ability to control counties was undoubtedly extremely strong. When Liu Bang first won the world, he rewarded the heroes with the land of the world, which was not only the tradition of the feudal system that had been popular for nearly a thousand years, but also the inertia of people's thinking at that time. After all, Qin has fallen in only 14 years after winning the world, and all the superior can think of is the feudal state to establish the country, and what the heroes of the world can agree with is only the feudal state. At the beginning, after Xiang Yu destroyed Qin, he also divided the princes, and he himself was just an overlord of Western Chu. It can be seen that the preconceived and deep-rooted emperor system in the minds of future generations is not the only choice in the minds of the social elite at this time, Xiang Yu still only wants to be a co-master of the world like King Zhou.

Liu Bang rewarded the heroes and stimulated the enthusiasm of the heroes in the world, and contributed to his cause of eliminating Xiang Yu, but when he killed Xiang Yu, he was faced with the choice he faced after Xiang Yu destroyed Qin: whether to have a county system or a feudal state?

Liu Bang, who got the map book of the Qin Dynasty, naturally knew the benefits of the county system, and also knew the disadvantages of feudal statehood, and he was naturally afraid that among the princes he planned to feud, there would be another figure like the "King of Han" to usurp the world, how could this be good? However, the reality of the establishment of the feudal states in the world has been formed, and although each feudal state is indeed under the feudal status of Liu Bangce, it also maintains its political independence and has independent military strength. If these feudal states are to be banned at the same time, the world will inevitably be shaken, and their status as the co-ruler of the world will even collapse in an instant. Therefore, Liu Bang's strategy was to slowly figure it out, and after defeating Xiang Yu, he took the army of Han Xin, the strongest prince in the world, the "King of Qi". As for how Han Xin obtained the title of King of Qi in the first place, there was also an open and secret battle, which is recorded in history, so I will not repeat it here.

In this way, while gradually weakening and even banning the king with a different surname, Liu Bang wantonly divided his cronies with the same surname as kings to contain the king with a different surname, until he finally shouted the slogan "Those who are not the king of the Liu family will be attacked by the whole world". So, why did Liu Bang, who was familiar with the shortcomings of the feudal state-building system, wantonly divide the king with the same surname? This still has to be seen from the form of the world at that time.

At this time, the situation in the world, not long after the end of the dispute between Chu and Han, the original subordinates of the various princes and kings after being cut off were scattered all over the country, and the local government was initially established, and the county system lacked strong military power, so the world was still unstable. If the king with a different surname is simply banned, then where will the subordinates of the original vassal states go? Most of these people were nobles of the Six Kingdoms during the Warring States Period, literate and hyphenated, familiar with the general trend of the world, and were rare social elites, and Liu Bang relied on their strength to take away the world. After the ban on the king with a different surname, if these social elites who needed political status were allowed to wander into society, it would undoubtedly become a local destabilizing factor, and it would be a waste of talent for the emerging Western Han Dynasty, which faced great pressure from the horse-riding peoples in the north. Therefore, establishing a feudal state to appease the place and recruiting talents from all over the world for the use of the imperial court became Liu Bang's best choice.

In Liu Bang's view, in addition to his brothers, these kings with the same surname are his sons and nephews, and everyone is a family. Moreover, most of these kings with the same surname were young when they went to China, and the main officials in their country were appointed by the central government, so there was no need to worry about local rebellion in the short term.

However, this form of feudalism does have institutional advantages. In this way, after the children of the same surname are divided into various places, they have independent military power, and can quickly form a strong military force in the feudal country. This kind of help, in the eyes of Liu Bang, who was under the huge military pressure of the Xiongnu all the time and had experienced the siege of Baideng, was a practical guarantee.

At the same time, isn't this a step back for Liu Bang to stay for the Liu family in the world?

In the siege of Baideng, Liu Bang, as the Son of Heaven, almost died in battle, what a shocking thing for a country? Therefore, Liu Bang, who has felt the pain of almost collapsing in his life, has to think about what the Liu family will do once Chang'an City is breached?

If these children of the Liu family are raised in Jingshi, if it is in a peaceful year, it is nothing. But Chang'an City is under the threat of the Huns' iron hooves, and the central government is going to be precarious. And if these Liu disciples are separated, they can send troops to King Jingqin in time, even if the worst situation is that Chang'an City is broken and the Son of Heaven is killed, then it is not impossible to nominate a Son of Heaven from among the Liu children from all over the country to lead the world again! The Great Wall, a man-made natural hazard, makes it difficult for the northern horse-riding people to occupy the Central Plains for a long time.

Speaking of this, some people will say, if Liu Bang is really so wise and powerful, his eyes are like torches, and his strategic arrangement is so precise, can't he think that even if he divides the princes and kings with the same surname, there is a danger of national splitting? When analyzing people's behavior and intentions, Guo Bin has always been accustomed to looking at people highly, and Liu Bang, a generation of heroes, if he can't see through this problem, Guo Bin doesn't believe it.

Whether it is the same surname or not, once the time passes, the affection will gradually weaken. The Zhou royal family back then, how could the people who were not close to them? However, the political situation is always changing, and there has never been a system that is enduring and universal. In ancient times, if you want to maintain national stability, you must not only rely on a perfect political system, but also on the superb political wisdom and skill of the Son of Heaven to balance all parties. A system that can be used for ten years is considered a good system, and once it does not meet the specific conditions at that time, the Son of Heaven can change it! If as the Son of Heaven of the Great Sect, he doesn't even have the courage and determination to reform the old system, then what qualifications does he have to sit in that seat? Liu's country needs a powerful son of heaven who can control all the people, not a fool born in the deep palace and grown up in the hands of his wife.

At that time, if there are really princes and kings who rebel and use very few resources compared to the Son of Heaven to win, then Liu Bang can only be happy, which means that his descendants have produced capable people, the world is still surnamed Liu, the emperor is still surnamed Liu, or the descendants of his Liu Laosan!

Whenever he thinks of this, Guo Bin always speculates maliciously, is this also a question that Liu Bang specially gave to future generations?

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Son of Heaven was not free to do whatever he wanted, because once the Son of Heaven did anything wrong, a new Son of Heaven could naturally be elected in the clan. Because the princes and kings everywhere are all clans and families, and they all have the strength, if you want to change the son of heaven, as long as there is a queen mother or an elder in the clan to preside, as soon as the princes in various places respond, it can become a reality. And this is just a family affair of the old Liu family, which will not cause great turmoil in the whole society, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, as long as the old Liu family's country is not destroyed, then how can the casualties and losses of the common people be seen in the eyes? This gives the reigning Son of Heaven a sense of urgency and crisis, and he has to make a little appearance, and when he is recognized by the clan and the world, his throne can become more and more stable.

The emperors before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, whether it was Emperor Wen of Han or Emperor Jing of Han, were all famous Ming monarchs in history. And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty relied on the family foundation accumulated by the efforts of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties to defeat the Huns and achieve far more than his father's exploits. Although some people say that he is reckless, it is this kind of reckless military force that gives the people of the Han Dynasty the courage to face the horse-riding people, and makes the Han people have a sense of psychological superiority when facing the horse-riding peoples outside the Saiwai. Since then, it has been known that horse-riding peoples are not invincible, because our ancestors once beat them to the ground.

When faced with the invasion of the horse-riding peoples again, the Han people were no longer faced with the question of whether they could do so, but how to repel them. And this is the source of the strong self-confidence of the Chinese nation, and it is also the reason why it can persevere and survive to this day in the face of foreign invasion.

What has supported the Chinese nation to become the only ancient civilization in the world that has never been cut off and continues to this day is not only the strong inclusiveness of the Central Plains culture, but also the glorious victories of the Central Plains nation in history again and again. It is precisely the firm belief that it can win, and the repeated defeats are regarded as mere mistakes in method, which have made one heroic figure after another strive to rise up and save the nation from peril, so that the Chinese nation can win victory in the face of crises again and again.

In modern times, this ancient nation has turned from arrogance to trembling in the face of the unknown and powerful Western civilization, and the defeat of wars has made this ancient nation lose confidence, and the Western countries seem to have become invincible as gods. A century of humiliation has caused the nation's self-esteem to fall, and the desire to worship foreigners is unbridled, and even now it is even more difficult to change this situation.

So how can the Chinese nation regain its strength? It's nothing more than four words: rebuild faith.

Only by defeating a powerful enemy and standing on top of the world can we regain the self-esteem of the nation. Then, starting from 6 July, it will be necessary for all the people to exert all their strength to win victory in the war without the smoke of gunpowder, and the backbone of the nation will be straightened again.

The phrase "the Chinese people have stood up from now on" is such a wonderful and fascinating tomorrow!

Author's note: This big chapter is just a wave, when it is really not vomit unhappy, the fun of writing is here, please forgive all readers for the willfulness of the hidden sun, I really didn't come to cheat money.

Whether it is the struggle between centralization and decentralization in the early Han Dynasty, or the analysis of Liu Bang's situation when he divided the king with a different surname and the king with the same surname, it is a question that Qianyang has been thinking about for a long time. As for the reason for admiring the foreign, it is a problem that has plagued Qianyang for several years and cannot be solved. Finally in this chapter, Qianyang was willful and wrote down everything he thought in his heart. Maybe it's a little idealistic, maybe it's a bit on paper, and the hidden sun is shallow, so I can only talk about it here.

If you can have a word to teach me, or point out the fallacy of this article, please leave a comment in the comment area, as long as it is not a brainless and illogical troll, it is quite an immature remark, and Qianyang can only thank you. I hope that when you refute it, it can be reasonable, reasonable, and evidence can be put up, so that the latent sun will be more fun to spray with you, right? However, for those simple and innocent trolls who can only greet their families or insult people's IQ, Qianyang has no choice but to ban them permanently, and this is not something that has not been done. Hey...

In addition, I think it's time to set up a communication group, and it's good to use it as a platform for everyone to exchange ideas. Qianyang believes that as long as you can bear to look at the clumsy work, you are either too bored or have some ideas, and it can't be a primary school student anyway. Being able to exchange information with all talents in a timely manner is also a wish.

If you have any good suggestions for building a group, please also leave them in the comment area.

Thank you for the sun.
