Deng Xi, like Deng Fei, an assistant official from Qin, was originally a member of the Duke of Deng, and after the death of Deng, their ancestors fled north to Xinzheng and became Zheng Guoshi.

Deng Xi's status in Zheng Guo is not high, but his reputation is extremely loud, Zhao Wuxian occasionally heard about it when he was in Xinjiang, and after arriving in the Song Kingdom, he had a wide range of sources, and his ears would be surrounded by various deeds of this person from time to time.

In that year, the son produced the penal book, creating a precedent for the written law of the princes, and Zheng Guo also became one of the origins of later generations of legalists. The practice of Zichan has been the first to be initiated, and it has been strongly criticized by Uncle Xiang, the doctor of the Jin Kingdom, however, Deng Xi is more radical than Zichan!

Zhao Wuxian heard that Deng Xi wanted to change the old system, and he was very dissatisfied with some of the policies implemented by the child, and when he was young, he "counted the difficult child's policy". Zichan is very tolerant of public opinion among the people, and once "did not destroy the township school", so he did not use his power to silence Deng Xi, the opposition, forever.

After the death of Zichan, Uncle Zi took power and continued to implement the policy of Zichan, Deng Xi still criticized the penal book of Zichan, so he compiled a new set of written law and engraved it on the bamboo slips, known as "bamboo punishment", which is said to be better and more comprehensive than the Zichan penal book.

Of course, there are also a lot of negative comments about Deng Xi, and the old and simple Song people don't like Deng Xi's "two things can be said, and infinite words" are regarded as sophistry.

"I seem to have heard the name of Deng Xi in later generations, judging from the current news, he can be called a Legalist or a famous ......"

Zhao Wuxian had the idea of establishing a legal system in Zhen and Liqiu in Pubei, but he was extremely lacking in talents in this area, so he paid a lot of attention to Deng Xi. But I heard that he has been hot in Xinzheng recently, and the position of a judge in this district and two districts, I don't know if it can attract him......

Now that Uncle Zheng Guozi is dead, and one of the Seven Mu is in power, Deng Xi is also jumping more and more happily.

He recently gathered in Xinzheng to give lectures on legal knowledge and litigation methods, and became a "lawyer" to help others in lawsuits, and the prison demanded a shirt as payment. The little prison asks for a skirt. Zheng Min's style is open, and businessmen are all over the streets and alleys, so there are many disputes, and there are countless Zheng people who sacrifice clothes and learn lawsuits.

So Zhao Wuxian could only send someone to Xinzheng to inquire about the news first. hooked up with Deng Yi and tried to get a few volumes of "Bamboo Punishment" to watch and observe, but he couldn't lure him here immediately.

What's more, Deng Xi once openly declared that he was a lawless king, and he was not polite. It is completely contrary to the foundation of Confucianism. If he comes to Luxi, King Faxian and Confucius, who values etiquette, will definitely be extremely angry, and my subordinates Zigong, Ziyou, and Zihua may also have concerns, and this matter has to be discussed in the long run......"

Zhao Wuxian did not have the selfless concept of "the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people", and the "law" he wanted, at least for decades, must serve the will of his ruler. If an unruly thorn came and led the people to clamor, he could only try to learn from the child and kill him.

……

In addition to the four positions of Yi Zai, Sima, Judge, and Elder, each of whom had official offices and assistant officials, Zhao Wuxian also adapted measures to local conditions. There are city gate officials, planners, warehouse officials, stable officials, agricultural officials, medical officials, workers, city officials, etc., ranging from fighting food to 100 stones.

The mathematics students of Jiqiao applied what they learned and became accountants and warehouse officials. Xiao Gong's father, Gong Yike, became a worker, ruling over the new craftsmen in the Lu Kingdom, and Bian Que's apprentice disciple Leopard was a doctor. They can basically perform their own duties and give full play to their strengths.

Many of the children of the Zhen family who were taken away by Zhao Wuxian before were appointed, but they were basically concentrated in Xiaqiu. The children of the Liqiu clan were arranged to take up their posts in Zhenyi, and this way of serving in other places also made it difficult for the local clans to collude with the officials.

The hundreds of Zhao courtiers left behind by Zhao Ying were also partially taken out by him and scattered in various duties as overseers.

The shelves of the New Deal have been erected, but this set of teams can only be barely improvised.

"Today's Zhen and Liqiu. It is a long way to go to pinch the officials of the four different nationalities of Wei, Qi, Jin, and Lu with accents into a close group. Not to mention a year or two, it will take decades or even decades to erase their boundaries! There are only two towns and 30,000 people, and this is still the case. Not to mention the thousand-fold land and population of Kyushu, it can be seen how difficult it is to go down in one day! ”

If you think about it, it is not surprising why the Qin Dynasty fell apart more than ten years after its unification.

It's tough, but you can only grit your teeth and keep doing it. Who let Zhao Wuxian work hard to get such a starting place?

Creating the law and seeking Deng analysis is not the most important thing at present, it can be operated slowly, and the most important thing at hand for Zhao Wuxian is still "from the mining to the township of Shiwu".

In fact, the early Western Zhou Dynasty was relatively centralized, and the grassroots system of the six townships and six sui of Zhou Wangji was divided into "bi", "lu", "clan", "party", "state", and "township", and they corresponded to "wu", "liang", "pawn", "brigade", "division", and "army". The administrative organization of the residents of the village community and the military establishment of the army correspond to each other and unify each other, which is the ancient system of integrating soldiers and peasants.

In the later period, after the southern division was lost, they could only rely on the private soldiers of Wang Ji's territory to fight against the invasion of dogs, and the township was gradually replaced by the mining system.

The fiefdoms of the princes at all levels are called Caiyi, and there are 10,000 households, 1,000 households, 100 households, and 10 rooms, all of which are naturally formed large and small settlements. All these are scattered throughout the Central Plains, belonging to different feudal lords or clans, who have been passed down from generation to generation, and are xenophobic according to the blood of the clan.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, although Zhen and Liqiu implemented two sets of grassroots systems of Wei and Qi, they were generally a continuation of this mining system.

In this way, the administrative situation will be decentralized and inefficient, and the meat eaters can rule and be stationed in the big eup, but the control of the other small eups can only count on the cooperation of the various eup clans.

If we do not solve this problem, we will not be able to make efficient use of the people's resources and resources in a region, and in wartime, we will have to face a situation of confrontation and mutual compromise with local forces.

After the autumn harvest of Yihe in the city of burning bonds, Zhao Wuxian has now established absolute prestige in Zhen and Xiaqiu, and the new duties of the two places are determined, and the new policy can be spread from top to bottom.

"Hexiaoyi gathers, gathers for pavilions and li, and sets up Shi and Wu in the middle!"

Under Zhen and Liqiu, Zhao Wuxian set up a pavilion and a li, the pavilion controls road security, there is a pavilion chief, appointed by Zhao Wuxian personally, and his subordinates have thieves, pavilion fathers, pavilion pawns, and pedestrians and businessmen must be interrogated and questioned by the pavilion.

Li is the basic unit, with about 100 households under its jurisdiction, and there are Li Zheng, who are concurrently served by elders or elders of various clans, and "Li Tian", which focuses on farming. Residents regard five families as "units" and ten families as "units", and regard them as grass-roots administrative units and combat units when they are recruited. The people in the regulations, regardless of their country, wildness, nobility, or commonwealth, are recorded in the household registration according to their names, ages, places of origin, identity, appearance, and wealth, which is called "making up households and people".

Although this census method has been criticized since King Xuan of Zhou, it is now a common thing among the princes, and everyone is not surprised. If you want to understand the power of a state or city, you must know the geometry of the household registration and the number of acres of land.

"Li" is a space for people to gather in the non-sympathetic plan, the management of household registration and the organization of households are its core, and Lizheng and Shiwu are the grassroots units of governance.

The "Ting" was used as a unit for the Zhao Wuxian regime to penetrate into the grassroots level, forming a linear distribution along the path of Tu Dao, connecting Yi Heli as the administrative center.

This point has completely turned the grassroots level of Zhen and Liqiu into a "net", a big net that Zhao Wuxian can use the strength of the two cities!

This is what he called "from the mining to the village of Tingshiwu"!

To put it bluntly, it is not only an imitation of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and even the more centralized princes Qi, Chu, and the integration of soldiers and peasants, and the integration of politics and army, but also the precursor of the local system of the Warring States Qin and Han dynasties, which is very suitable for the current situation in Pubei.

The reform of Guan Zhong more than 100 years ago, the reform of Li Kui of Wei State a few decades later, and the reform of Shang Ying in later generations are all like this. If we sprinkle centralized power on the township pavilions and do everything possible to increase the intensity of mobilization at the grassroots level, we will be able to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and we will be able to come out on top.

……

When these slips were written and ready to be polished and sent to the pavilions, the young Gong Xichi asked worriedly: "If the doctor changes the system with such fanfare, isn't he afraid that the clans gathered in the various towns will be dissatisfied and oppose it?" ”

Zhao Wuxian smiled and asked, "Against?" ”

"Who dares to object!"

He looked at Cheng Yan beside him and asked him to answer Gong Xichi's question.

Cheng Yan's father Cheng Wu's health gradually deteriorated and he couldn't travel far, so he stayed in Chengxiang this time. Zhao Wuxian didn't bother to pay attention to whether this was true or not, after all, Chengxiang was still the food under his name within the Zhao family, so let Chengwu and Dou Pengzu and others continue to operate, although they didn't expect them to go further, but there should be no problem in maintaining Chengxiang's wealth.

However, Cheng Yan was a little apprehensive, and he was even more respectful to Zhao Wuxian.

However, Zhao Wuxian granted him the position of a fake judge in Xiaqiu, but it made Cheng Yan feel a little at ease, so he analyzed: "The Zhen family is the head of all the clans in the whole Yi, and now they are obedient in the Yi, how dare the other small clans take the lead?" Before you are dissatisfied, you have to think about the soldiers who train every day, and the spears of Rulin. As for the Qiqiu Qi people, they were completely scared in the Battle of Zhen, and those Qi soldiers who were strong in the past have now become obedient people. ”

"What's more, in the newly established Lizhong, the Lizheng is usually held by the local old clan patriarchs and elders, and the original power is not less, but it is more under the direct jurisdiction of the officials, and there is no reason to embarrass the doctor."

After listening to Cheng Yan's analysis, the young Gongxi Chi's three views were greatly impacted.

PS: Although the rumor of "Zi Kill Deng Xi" is more popular, you can know from reading Zuo Biography that until this year, Deng Xi was still alive and kicking. (To be continued.) )
