In late August of the eighth year of the Luhou Song Dynasty, the atmosphere in the Yi Temple of Liqiu was quite solemn, and the erector had refilled the slurry back and forth several times, but no one drank a sip.

Sitting in the first place, Dr. Zhao, who was wearing court clothes, had already begun to lightly tap his fingers with his fingers impatiently, but the patriarchs of several Zhen Yi families led by the Zhen family still shrank their heads in their seats and did not make a statement on this "new deal".

Conservatism, the desire to continue the inherent system and customs, this is the common problem of all patriarchs, because only in this way can the interests of their respective clans be guaranteed, and the so-called "New Deal" is almost subconsciously rejected.

However, they did not dare to speak out against it.

Two months ago, Zhao Wuxian took Zhen Yi with a bloodless sword, and stabilized the situation in the city with the military might of the Jin army. But then the battle outside the city made them frightened, and they could only accept Zhao Wuxian's rule half-pushed and half-on-the-spot.

In the beginning, Zhao Wuxian's policy was similar to that of his predecessor, the Kong family, who only used this place as a food town, and all government affairs were handed over to the local clan. Although Zhao Wuxian dismissed the clan soldiers of various clans in Zhenyi, he still adopted a strategy of winning over and maintaining their interests, so everyone's hearts gradually settled down, and let the children of the clan serve as officials to help Zhao Wuxian win the hearts of the people.

Later, with a dazzling diplomatic game, Zhen Yi was officially merged from the Wei State to the Lu State, although he changed his nationality, the life here has not changed much, and the patriarchs feel that it is not bad to continue like this.

However, after Dr. Zhao was granted land by Lu Hou and the people, and then entered Qufu in Lucheng to complete the ceremony and confirm the name, he began to unhurriedly launch the "New Deal".

The first step was to put forward the idea of "five grains and corn, and the people's division is also ordered", and he asked his retainers and subordinates to go down to the non-governmental organizations to carry out the autumn harvest.

The Jin army did not harm the local people's livelihood when they crossed the border, so most of the fields were planted with corn, in stark contrast to the ruins of several Weiyi to the west. On weekdays, the people often listen to the propaganda of the subordinate officials from the city, saying that this is all thanks to Dr. Zhao. They also believed it and were grateful.

After half a busy day, the corn harvest in various places was basically completed, and the barns were abundant. Whether it is the guards of Zhenyi or the Qi people of Xiaqiu, they all showed happy smiles, and the food and clothing for the coming year have fallen behind, and the people's hearts have completely settled down.

So, after the patriarchs of each clan ate the first bowl of new rice of the year. The rope of Zhao Wuxian's new policy gradually tightened.

"Can the second and third sons think about it? Now that Xiaqiu has agreed to implement the new policy, only the Zhenyi tribes have not expressed their position, and I hope that the patriarchs can cooperate. ”

Zhao Wuxian's majestic gaze swept over everyone, and cold sweat broke out under their hair crowns, some people couldn't resist the pressure and wanted to give in, and their eyes were fixed on Zhen Zhongxun, who was the leader of the old clan of Zhen Yi.

Zhen Zhongxun smiled bitterly, today's name is Gongyi, but it is actually a word of Dr. Zhao, whether it is allowed or not, the result will not make much difference.

In the past few days, the Zhenyi clan has also been secretly active. First of all, I want to find a breakthrough from Zhang Mengtan, the No. 2 person in Zhao Wuxian's forces.

In the process of implementing the new policy, Zhao Wuxian played the role of a white face, and did everything to coerce and lure the patriarchs who held the power of various ethnic groups. And Zhang Mengtan has always appeared in a red-faced role, and sometimes comes forward to comfort him, also considering that the official implementation in the future will also require the cooperation of these Zhenyi patriarchs.

However, for this Zhao Wuxian, who has always been gentle and elegant, but has long sleeves and is good at dancing, no one can get a word of truth out of his mouth. was really in a hurry, Zhang Mengtan deduced that this matter was decided by Dr. Zhao, and he was just foreshadowing and assisting.

"This matter is not harmful to your clan, and the doctor will definitely carry it out, so it is better for you to agree."

So there is today's final referendum.

Although he was afraid of Zhao Wuxian's military might. There is no intention of "returning to the country", but Zhen Zhongxun still wants to fight for the interests of his own clan again.

After a few months of observation, he found that although Zhao Wuxian was sometimes ruthless, he did not wantonly oppress and kill the people of the clan without asking questions. Everything is still negotiable.

So Zhen Zhongxun cautiously proposed, is this new deal really necessary?

"There are townships and li under Zhenyi, and there are Yi Zai, Yi Sima and other retainers of the doctor, which has been implemented for hundreds of years since Uncle Wei Kang built the city here, why did the doctor change it suddenly?"

Faced with this question, I don't know how many times I've been asked. Zhao Wuxian said solemnly: "Of course it is necessary to change!" ”

"The second and third sons know that a few months ago, Zhen Yi and Liqiu belonged to Wei and Qi respectively, and they also used the Wei system and the Qi system, and even the names of the officials in the two places were different."

The local administrative system of Qi State is the foundation laid by Guan Zhong, first of all, the "three countries", that is, the area of the "country" is divided into three types: industrial township, commercial township, and scholar township. This is followed by the "Five Despicables", which divides the "wild" area into five administrative levels: subordinate, county, township, pawn, yi, and family. Thirty families per county, ten towns per county, ten towns per township, and ten per county

County. In this way, there are 90,000 families in each subordinate, and there are five subordinate families in the whole country, and each subordinate has five doctors in charge of administration and five in charge of justice.

Dioqiu theoretically belongs to the level of "township", so the position of the Wuya Brigade of Diaoqiu Dafu is "Xiangliangren", and there are pawns and towns under it.

However, the Wei system used by Zhen Yi is a continuation of the Zhou system, so although Zhen and Liqiu are both the leaders of Zhao Wuxian, the clan belongs to the Zhao family, and the state is the territory of the Lu State, there are two sets of grassroots systems of Wei and Qi.

Neither in form nor in substance, this situation of "one country, two systems" cannot last long!

"So it is imperative to change the form of government at the grassroots level! Now that all the clans in Liqiu have agreed after the public discussion, Zhen Yi now wants to stick to the old system, is it difficult for me? It has only been a short time since the migration of the Wu family, and the second and third sons don't want to follow in their footsteps? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was terrified, Zhen Zhongxun was dumbfounded, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.

Before Zhao Wuxian went to Lucheng, he uprooted the most unstable force in Xiaqiu, and the Wu clan, which was also the largest clan, by thunderous means, forcibly purchased all their properties, and drove the entire Wu clan to the Qi State, and since then there has been no big clan in Xiaqiu. Zhen Zhongxun was summoned to Liqiu to participate in the public meeting this time, and he felt that after the loss of that big family, the streets and alleys were deserted a lot, and the backbone of this city became the countrymen who were frightened in the battle of Zhen, so they agreed to change the system so quickly.

Zhen Zhongxun no longer cares about scolding the people of Xiaqiu for being weak, and now. Outside the gate of the Yi Temple, there are many soldiers of the Dutch armor, and if the public discussion can't say a result, they don't want to leave this city and return home, which is forcing them to make a statement! If one disagrees. At the smallest, he will be detained here, and if he is bigger, he may be deprived of his properties such as acres of houses, shops, etc., and he will be blasted out of Zhenyi by Dr. Zhao and sent to Weijing.

"The subordinates are willing to attach the doctor to the ......"

Zhen Zhongxun, who saw the situation clearly, first chose to be soft, and the final result was as expected. The clans, which were already without soldiers, all compromised.

Since both Xiaqiu and Zhenyi formally passed the proposal for the new policy, Zhao Wuxian quickly promulgated the general outline of the new policy.

……

The next day, as Zhao Wuxian's new ministers, Ran Qiu and Gong Xichi listened to Zhao Wuxian's passionate declaration in the Liqiuyi Temple, together with many small officials:

"Poetry: King Wen is above, and Yu Zhao is in the sky. Although Zhou is an old state, its life is renewed. ”

Ran Qiu is known as versatile, and he learns poetry and calligraphy well, and knows that this sentence is to the effect that King Wen of Zhou received the mandate of heaven and showed the world. Although Zhou is an old state, its mission is to innovate.

"The inscription on the soup plate is also engraved with the nine characters of 'Gou Rixin, Ri Ri Xin, and Ri Xin', so innovation can never stop. There is no system that has remained unchanged for a hundred years, and there is no country that is not easy for generations, Qi has Guan Yi Wu system, Jin has Wen Gong, Mourning Gong Zhongxing, and Chu has Sun Shu Ao reform. Today, Zhenyi and Xiaqiu broke away from the old country and became the new Yi of the Zhao family. The new land of the country of Lu, the old system must be reformed, and the new policy must be established. ”

After the tireless Liwei, Lixin, and sufficient food in the first two months, the people of Liangyi settled down. Support for the regime of Zhao Wuxian is growing, and it is time to stretch the tentacles throughout the territory.

The final part of the manifesto is a promise that the interests of the clans and the people will not be harmed, but that the profits will be fixed and policy-oriented.

The surrounding officials cheered and praised, while Ran Qiu and Gong Xichi looked at each other, feeling a little fresh.

Once out there. The young Gong Xichi always wore the best clothes, and he would whisper to Ran Qiu: "If you want to say that the biggest difference between Zhongdu Yi and here, that is, Zhongdu has to talk about retro everything in everything, while here advocates reform, Ziyou has a senior brother, what do you think?" ”

Ran Qiu was silent at first, and after coming to Xiaqiu, what he had seen and heard in the past few days made him faintly worried in his heart.

Although his family is known as the Zhou princes after the Ran Kingdom, but now it has declined, can only be regarded as an ordinary countryman, his purpose to learn from Confucius is very simple, that is, to become a scholar.

During his time in Zhongdu, he did not have any specific position, sometimes helping Confucius and Zilu to deal with government affairs, and sometimes patrolling the imperial palace with a small number of soldiers.

Ran Qiu did not pay much attention to the cultivation of virtue, and after becoming proficient in the six arts, his focus was on how to govern and military affairs, and rarely asked Confucius about benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and filial piety, so Confucius said that he "did not know his benevolence".

Although he was noncommittal about some of Confucius's teachings and thoughts, he still respected his teachers. However, so far, Ran Qiu has more appreciation for Zhao Wuxian's aggressive attitude towards reform, and his creation of the spear array is a manifestation of his willingness to innovate, which coincides with Zhao Wuxian.

What's more, updating the system means that new positions will appear, and he and Zihua will have the opportunity to be in a high position!

So Ran Qiu said to his cousin Gong Xichi of his mother's family: "Zihua, the master once said, the king makes the ministers courteous, and the ministers are loyal, Doctor Zhao is already the lord of you and me, and after coming to Xiaqiu, he gave us very high treatment. There are fish and meat, there are carriages and horses, and clothes are decorated, so you should do your best to assist the doctor's new policy, but the set in the middle capital may not be applicable here, you and I should take Dr. Zhao's instructions as the standard. ”

Having said that, Ran Qiu was still very distressed, although Zhao Wuxian was happy with Confucius in Zhongdu a few days ago, he was keenly aware that there seemed to be a potentially huge difference between Master and Zhao's doctor.

"If one day, the doctor and the master are not in harmony because of different ideas, where should Zihua and I go? Learn? From Junyan? (To be continued.) )
