Chapter 393: Lichu
With the advancement of the war, Eastern Wu and Western Shu have begun to be unbearable, Jiang Sheng no longer has to personally command the battle, and many of his advisers and famous generals know exactly how to fight, Jiang Sheng only needs to issue an edict to issue strategic decisions.
In this way, Jiang Sheng will return to Beijing, and he will not be needed to fight, but more onerous work awaits him, that is, to govern.
Jiang Sheng's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and both wealth and population are booming.
Especially after Jiang Sheng ascended the throne, he issued more than a dozen edicts related to people's livelihood policies, involving land state-owning, education system, military service system, official evaluation, state-owned companies, resource development, etc., many of which are dividends for the people.
The people live and work in peace and contentment, the imperial court is strong and strong, the materials are sufficient, the economic development, the political clarity and so on, this is the revival of China after the revival of Guangwu Zhongxing, and the history is called the prosperous era of Taizu.
Due to the open-mindedness of the policy, the adverse effects caused by Jiang Sheng's change of dynasty have almost disappeared, even if some Qingliu people still stubbornly believe that Jiang Sheng usurped the throne, Jiang Sheng ignored it, and in the tide of the people's support for Jiang Sheng, these discordant voices were quickly drowned out.
The abdicated Emperor Xian was named King Anle and allowed to live in the capital and enjoy hereditary treatment, which was also the best result, Jiang Sheng also married Zhang Wanying's youngest daughter to his son Liu Yi.
The eldest son Jiang Han, the second son Jiang Rui, and the eldest daughter Jiang Shuwen have all grown up, Jiang Han married Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi, Jiang Rui married Zhang Liao's daughter Zhang Xin, and Jiang Shuwen married Xun Yu's son Xun Shi.
After Jiang Sheng ascended the throne, Liu Qian was named the imperial concubine, Zhang Wanrong and Zhang Wanying were concubines, Diao Chan was Concubine Li, and Cai Yan was Concubine De, but there was no queen.
There is no queen, the imperial concubine is respected, although many ministers advise the harem not to live without the queen, but Jiang Sheng is unmoved, because in his heart, there is only one person who is the most noble, and that is Tong Lin.
Cai Yan's husband was sick in his early years, although he had the name of husband and wife, but there was no husband and wife, after her husband's death, she kept the festival for five years, and then was arranged by Jiang Sheng to teach at the Military Academy, and a few years later she married Jiang Sheng as a concubine, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, Jiang Sheng was enthroned as the emperor, and Cai Yan also had a title.
Jiang Sheng is fifty years old, with five sons and three daughters, Jiang Han, Jiang Rui, Jiang Bo, Jiang Hao, Jiang Qi, and three daughters are Jiang Shuwen, Jiang Hui, and Jiang Fei.
Jiang Han has two sons and three daughters, and Jiang Rui has a son and a daughter, which can be regarded as a prosperous person.
In order to train his son to become a talent, Jiang Sheng asked his sons to decentralize the county office, except for the youngest Jiang Qi to stay in the capital, the other four are not in the capital, and only the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year can return to Beijing.
Jiang Shengzhi's Jin Dynasty replaced the Han Dynasty has become an established fact, Liu Bei and Sun Quan are not far behind, Liu Bei took Yizhou as the foundation and established the Shu State; Sun Quan based on Eastern Wu and established the state of Wu.
Although Jiang Sheng felt that he was still strong and there was no need to establish a prince, he could not withstand the etiquette system and the frequent admonitions of his subordinates, so he issued an edict for the prince's inspection.
Four people from each of the three provinces and six ministries were selected to form four working groups to conduct open and secret inspections to the places where the four princes served, to inspect their political achievements and the recognition of the people, and to conduct a comprehensive evaluation in the form of scores.
Before Jiang Sheng did not ascend the throne, his wives and concubines cultivated their own sons, running towards the goal of inheriting Jiang Sheng, after ascending the throne, they even cultivated their sons to run for the position of prince, but did not expect Jiang Sheng not to consider the opinions of the ministers of civil and military affairs and concubines, but sent people down to assess, whether he can become a prince, will not be like the previous court, but look at the political performance and the recognition of the people.
However, there is always room for operation, and the large and small officials of several princes' territories began to get busy, in order to let the princes of their own regions inherit the unification, they can reap the merits of the dragon, and when the inspection team arrives, they greet each other, give heavy gifts, and deceive the evaluation of the people.
Because it is the first time to engage in these things, everyone can't grasp this measure, so it is more chaotic, Jiang Sheng has clearly told those important ministers and generals before this that they must not interfere, all they can do is to obey the court, and the court obeys the emperor.
Although Qin Juan and Jiang Sheng have been skin-to-skin many times, Jiang Sheng has never given her a name or let her get pregnant, just to ensure that there is a person who is loyal to Jiang Sheng and remains neutral. This time to inspect the prince, Qin Juan was entrusted with an important task, that is, to supervise the inspection team.
As Jiang Sheng expected, the four inspection groups had problems, and after the evidence came up, Jiang Sheng issued a heavy edict, and thirty-six people were beheaded for the crime of bullying the king, and they were not allowed to be officials within three generations.
With such a heavy place, it can be seen that Jiang Sheng's bottom line, since then, no one dares to mess around, and the princes have also formed rules, speaking with their political achievements and the recognition of the people.
After layers of investigation, coupled with Jiang Sheng's evaluation of his sons, a comprehensive score was obtained, Jiang Rui ranked first, Jiang Han followed, Jiang Bo and Jiang Hao followed.
Jiang Sheng recalled the four princes to the capital, announced the assessment results at the court meeting, and announced Jiang Rui as the crown prince and the other three sons as princes.
Due to the fairness and objectivity of the assessment, the three princes were convinced, Jiang Sheng asked the princes to unite and cooperate with each other to support the prince, and the prince should also love other princes, and there can be no disputes.
Jiang Sheng said seriously, and the princes didn't dare not listen. Jiang Sheng knew that if the first prince didn't set the rules, it would be difficult in the future.
The objectivity of the assessment of the prince avoided the tragedy of the feudal emperor in which the prince killed each other, and the civil and military officials at all levels could not selectively support the prince, and could only implement the policy documents issued by the three provinces of the imperial court.
The three provinces are responsible for day-to-day state affairs, and policy documents involving the whole country must be issued in the form of holy decrees after the emperor's approval, which is similar to the political system of later generations.
According to the emperor's orders, the prince carried out the work of supervising hundreds of officials, observing the people's feelings, supervising the military, and traveling judges.
After setting the rules, Jiang Sheng began his grand cause, according to his plan, the national industry embodies regional characteristics, each region has a different industrial system, and different industrial regions are connected by rail.
With the completion of several railway lines, trains began to be put into use, and the carrying capacity was superb, and mineral resources, daily necessities, ordnance and weapons, and military defense have entered the era of railway transportation.
The ocean-going fleet was also put on the agenda, with Tai Shici serving as the commander of the ocean-going fleet, and the local navy being handed over to Gan Ning.
Zhen Yan did a good job in the Western Regions, not only tying the countries of the Western Regions to the cart of the Jin Dynasty, but also connecting Persia and developing foreign trade, and the Silk Road became hot again.
The two trade routes by sea and land exchanged rich resources for the Jin Dynasty, and opened up colonies in Nanyang, and Jiang Sheng sent capable generals to serve in Nanyang and rotated every year.
The existence of super strength already has the conditions for the unification of the whole country, and Jiang Sheng issued a holy decree to unify the whole of China!
