Chapter 133 Three Arufa Chapters
Judging from the historical record, the year 813 of the Gregorian calendar is probably the most inactive year after Li Tianhao stepped onto the stage of history, because in the official history, there is hardly any of his actions in this year, and the only thing that can be seen is that he appointed Arufa as the governor of the Basradic region. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Of course, if you have an in-depth study of history, you can verify the difficulties and choices faced by Li Tianhao during this year through the biographies or notes left by some people at that time.
The greatest achievement of the Palchi state in 813 is probably the successful pacification of the northern part of Arubania by the two generals Efinos and Cheka, and Palci was able to basically control the entire territory of Arubania. But in fact, behind this achievement lies a huge problem.
Unlike the conquest of Yaqui, Arubania was able to fall into Palchi's pocket so quickly, in large part because of the Arufa bloodbath of Basara, which led to two consequences, one of which was that a large number of Arubanian nobles submitted to Palchi with Arufa. This is different from Yaji, who was completely conquered by force, and the new policy implemented by Li Tianhao in Yaqi was almost mandatory to sweep away Yaji's aristocratic forces, because Yaji's nobles had been defeated by Li Tianhao's army when they were in ruins; However, a considerable part of the aristocratic power in Arubania has been retained, and Li Tianhao, as a subservient, naturally can no longer do it in the same way as he treats the Yaki nobles, but the nobles who have been retained also retain their privileges, and their privileges are precisely the biggest obstacle to Li Tianhao's implementation of the new policy in Arubania.
If the estates, lands, and slaves of the Arubanian aristocracy were not abolished, the abolition of slavery and the introduction of a new policy would be empty words. Moreover, since the beliefs of Arubania and Palci were completely different, and they could not be reformed by merging the two similar beliefs as they did with Yaqui, the people's sense of disagreement with the new ruler was also an invisible obstacle to the implementation of the new policy.
In order to solve this problem, Li Tianhao can be said to have a lot of brains. On the surface, with Queen Alfrett's arrival in Basrady, Li Tianhao held several grand outings and temple sacrifices, which were done to let the people of Arubania see their new ruler and let them know that the new ruler respected their faith, but such activities had little effect, after all, it was a long-term process to gain the people's conceptual approval. Mr. Li's personal time was filled with meetings of all sizes, and the biggest issue he discussed with senior officials was how to implement a new policy in this new land.
Among the many proposals, Li Tianhao was most interested in the piece of music proposed by General Alufa, because a considerable part of it was similar to the solution proposed to him by Prime Minister Wei Song.
In what came to be known as the Arufa Concerto, Arufa made several points.
First of all, he analyzed the current situation in Arubania and the difficulties encountered in implementing the new policy, which are almost exactly the same as Li Tianhao's feelings.
Second, Arufa enumerated his solution: Arufa believed that in order to implement the new policy that Parci had introduced in Arubania in Yaqui, the people of Arubania must first see the benefits of the new policy. But it will be a long process, because it takes time for people to go from feeling the inconvenience of the New Deal to the benefits of the New Deal, so the best way to do this is to open a testing ground for the New Deal in Arubania.
Arufa decided that the best choice for the New Deal test base would be in and around Baslardy. First of all, because this land is surrounded by the Yuvladil and Digoril rivers, and its economic base is the best part of the whole of Arubania, and the benefits of the New Deal will be manifested in the shortest possible time, and secondly, because in the past years, this rich land has been the direct domain of the king of Arubania, and only the king's closest ministers can receive a reward for this land, so the nobility of this land is the weakest after the power of the royal family is cleared. This gives the implementation of the New Deal a unique place, where there is minimal resistance.
In addition to this, Arufa also advised Li Tianhao not to personally implement a new policy on the land, but to appoint a governor to act. If it is implemented by Li Tianhao himself, then no matter what the result is, the people will blame Li Tianhao for the negative factors along with the positive factors, and if the governor is appointed to implement this series of reforms, it is easier for people to attribute the results to the new policy, and leave the dissatisfaction to the governor, so that after the convenience of the new deal gradually takes root in the hearts of the people, Li Tianhao only needs to change the governor to sit back and enjoy it.
The first thing Li Tianhao did after receiving this recital was to show it to his uncle and military advisor Wei Song, and after reading it, Wei Song opened his mouth and said: "Is His Royal Highness willing to fully believe in this person?" ”
Li Tianhao has long been accustomed to this way of speaking from his uncle, although Wei Song's words are only a few words, but the implicit content is very huge. Wei Song obviously agreed with Arufa's suggestion, but he pointed out the problem behind Arufa's recital - Arufa's suggestion was obviously implying that Li Tianhao would use Arubanians to rule Arubania, and this candidate was naturally Arufa himself. None of the former Arubanian officials had the same experience of stabilizing and governing Basaratia as Arufa, and Arufa, as the son of Adlem, was still quite prestigious among the people of Arubania. Although he was the main culprit in the king's murder, the people did not seem to particularly hate the murderer due to their reverence for his father Adlem and their sympathy for Adlem's unwarranted death. But Arufa's move clearly proves that he himself has ambitions for power, so Li Tianhao must face the question of whether he can fully trust him by appointing Arufa as governor. Arufa's own military prowess is enough to be feared, and if Palci's new political system reform is used to achieve great success, his prestige is likely to become his capital for kingship, and appointing the governor at this point is obviously a gamble.
