Chapter 29 The First Discussion of the New Deal
Prime Minister's Office
In the main hall, the incense cage is burning, and the smoke is filled out, rendering a very negative fairyland.
Liu Chan and Kong Ming were divided into two cases, and the tea was cooked on the case, and they were leisurely.
"I don't know if Your Majesty is here this time, what advice do you have to discuss with your ministers?" Kong Ming said with a smile.
Since Liu Chan "worked hard", every time he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he could always put forward some unbelievable opinions and opinions, which seemed to be incredible, and even a little whimsical, but after Kong Ming thought about it carefully, he found that there was no lack of feasibility, and even some decisions could greatly optimize the current stage of the policy, so he gradually appreciated His Majesty more and more, and even had a trace of admiration from the bottom of his heart.
"Haha, don't praise Xiangfu, where is the high opinion, it's just some cleverness, and I just want to apply it to Shu Han's current governance." Liu Chan waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, don't be presumptuous, now if I want to defeat Cao Wei, I must first have national strength better than Cao Wei, national strength is not only military strength, but also involves financial resources, manpower, etc., although Your Majesty's remarks are a bit fanciful and seem unrealistic, but on the surface, it still has a certain feasibility." Kong Ming shook his feather fan and said.
"What's even more unbelievable is yet to come!" Liu Chan said softly to himself.
Although Liu Chan whispered in a low voice, who is Kong Ming? It was a ninth-level great talisman master, with amazing mental power, and he could always detect some subtle movements.
I don't know if I didn't hear it clearly, or if I was afraid that it would embarrass both parties, Kong Ming had to laugh and said, "What else does Your Majesty have behind him?" ”
"As Xiangfu said, if my Shu Han wants to defeat Cao Wei, he must have strong enough national strength, not only the army, but also the economy, agriculture, population, and armament must not be weaker than Cao Wei."
"What does Your Majesty want?" With a cup of tea, Kong Ming said in a deep voice.
From Liu Chan's words before, Kong Ming heard a slight difference, I am afraid that His Majesty is no longer making a small fuss this time, but is going to make a big move.
"I, want, change, law!"
His eyes were staring at Kong Ming, and Liu Chan said with a sonorous and powerful word.
Hearing this, Kong Ming paused the teacup slightly, and after a few breaths, it returned to normal, and then drank the tea by himself.
"What kind of law does Your Majesty want to change?"
"Qin Zhi Shang Ying, Wei Zhi Li Kui!"
Taking a deep breath, Kong Ming rarely calmed down, put away his smile, and said to Liu Chan, "Your Majesty, do you think it's feasible?" It's nonsense! How could the situation in my Shu be the same as that of Qin Wei at that time! Your Majesty, you are misleading the country! ”
While speaking, Kong Ming's emotions became more and more excited, I am afraid that this is the first time Liu Chan has seen Kong Ming angry, it seems that something has indeed touched Kong Ming's bottom line, Liu Chan thought to himself.
But having said that, Liu Chan still has to fight for it, because if Shu Han wants to defeat Cao Wei, he must perform strange moves, just as he does extraordinary things in extraordinary times.
Not afraid of Kong Ming, Liu Chan looked directly at him and said: "Father Xiang also said before, although it is a troubled time, but a country is definitely not just a military force, now my Shu Han population and territory are weak and Wei Wu, if you don't take risks, how can you revive the Han Dynasty!" ”
"Father Xiang will listen to me first!" Seeing that Kong Ming wanted to speak, Liu Chan stretched out his hand to stop him.
"I have been planning this reform for a long time, mainly from five aspects, namely agriculture, population, talent, commerce, and armaments, and the order of these five is the second most important of this reform!"
"In terms of agriculture, the policy of farming and warfare was adopted, and soldiers from all over the country were mobilized to open up wasteland and fields, and the army was suspended for farming; The implementation of the Fantian order, in addition to cultivating their own land, the people can reclaim their own land, the new field, cultivated seeds provided by our government, the harvest of the year, only need to return the amount of improved seeds, and the tax on new fields will be reduced to 50% in the future; After all, there are more fields, and the irrigation problem also needs to be solved. ”
"In terms of population, more children are encouraged, and the second child... That is, if there are more than two children, the cost of raising the children shall be borne by the government seventy percent; Those who accept the responsibility of the government and do not have special circumstances shall unconditionally serve in the military for three years after reaching adulthood, regardless of gender, but the maximum age of military service shall not exceed thirty-five; Those who have a member of the family who are in the army can enjoy preferential treatment in all aspects of life, and the specific matters will be discussed separately; The families of fallen non-commissioned officers can receive a pension, and the pension must not be too small! ”
"In terms of talents, the talent selection system was formulated, and the examination method was adopted, which were from the three aspects of governing the country, arranging the troops, and commanding the troops, and the test questions and reviews were presided over by Xiangfu, Jiang Wan, and Fei Yi; Reform the official system, set up a system of one to nine grades, and appoint officials on the basis of merit! ”
"In terms of business, we vigorously developed Shu brocade, which is a characteristic of Shu Han, and worked hard to improve the brocade loom for my father, so that my wife could assist from the side; Set up a government-run organization, fully responsible for the production of Shu brocade, retail Shu brocade payment, every five horses per month, the most inferior product is rewarded to weavers; Jiangdong sits in the Yangtze River moat, after the relationship with it eases, Shu brocade mainly flows in Jiangdong, compared to money, if it can be exchanged for ores and other metal things are naturally the best! ”
"In terms of armament, a large number of fire attribute talisman masters were summoned, metallurgical technology was improved, and the impurity content in iron tools was reduced, so that while improving the quality of iron tools, the blades of Bing Ge were thinner and the armor defense was lighter; Secondly, develop a few gadgets, and if possible, add them to the army, and later I will order someone to bring the drawings to my father! These are the five things I want to implement! ”
Brushing his beard, Kong Ming didn't speak, didn't know whether to listen to it, and didn't know whether he agreed. Just thinking quietly, I couldn't see a trace of emotional change on my face, and I didn't even know if I was angry.
Seeing this, Liu Chan didn't speak, what he said was indeed a lot, so let's give Kong Ming time to think about it carefully, after all, without Kong Ming's help, it would be difficult for him to implement it.
After Liu Chan and Kong Ming were at a stalemate for a moment, the latter finally slowly spoke: "The minister has two points to ask Your Majesty!" First, although the biggest beneficiaries of His Majesty's first few articles were the people, they invisibly increased the pressure on the soldiers and the government; Second, in terms of talents, especially the appointment of officials, the minister thinks that it is absolutely impossible! ”
After pondering Kong Ming's suggestion, Liu Chan replied after a little contemplation: "Since the Jingzhou army entered Shu, we have not brought a trace of stability to the people of Shu, and only brought them disasters. And the first emperor advocated people-oriented, only if you are good to the people, the people will support you, and this is the people's desire, throughout the ages, all of them are the people who win the hearts of the people, so as to win the world! ”
"Let's just say that this strategy is feasible, what about the new official appointment system, doesn't Your Majesty want to learn from Cao Wei's new policy?" Kong Ming said again, with some emphatic reminders in his words.
