Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Way of Governing the State

"Grass people Fan Zhongyan greets Your Majesty!"

Fan Zhongyan is the appearance of a young scribe, dressed in green clothes, with a heroic and righteous atmosphere, giving people a sense of uprightness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs soon as Liu Wei saw Fan Zhongyan, he had a good impression, and a kind of love arose.

Fan Zhongyan was led by the soldiers in the study, his voice was loud, his body was straight, and he was neither humble nor arrogant to salute Liu Wei.

Liu Wei's eyes lit up, this Fan Zhongyan has extraordinary ability, and he is proficient in military and politics. The most rare thing is his character, this is a talent who can do facts, Liu Wei is quite satisfied with this calling.

But no matter how satisfied he was, Fan Zhongyan was summoned by himself, and his ability was known by himself, but after a trial, it was still necessary to take the exam.

"It's only been half an hour since I issued the recruitment list, and I didn't expect that there would be talents! Looking at your appearance, you must be a person who has read the scriptures and history and has a strategy for governing the country! Tell me about your ability to govern the country, and I will arrange a position for you! Liu Wei pretended to gesture and said.

Fan Zhongyan's expression was shocked, and he understood that Liu Wei was going to test himself, and he said that the opportunity for him to show what he had learned had finally come.

Fan Zhong cleared his throat and talked about the statecraft strategy in his heart. Even Liu Bi's current situation is also evaluated.

Fan Zhongyan's politics, commander-in-chief, and intelligence are not trivial, and in the face of Fan Zhongyan's eloquent talk, Liu Wei sat down and listened attentively.

"Your Majesty, the grass people think that to govern the country, we should first rectify the rule of officials, and all the officials in the world are appointed by the big families of the family. But the family, which one has no selfishness? There are very few who are fair and honest! Fan Zhongyan talked eloquently, and said the key point in one sentence, not afraid of Liu Bian's scolding at all?

"The children of the family hold official positions, so that the officials everywhere seek benefits for themselves and their families, and do not pay attention to the people, and the people of the Han Dynasty have become more and more impoverished, and even difficult to sustain their lives! and gradually became a subsidiary of the family, sold into slavery, and became the power of the family, the land of the original host people was annexed by the family, and the people who originally belonged to the Han Dynasty became the private slaves of the family! ”

"The family is becoming strong step by step, while the country is weakening step by step!"

Fan Zhongyan arched his hand and said: "So Your Majesty, the grass people think that governing the country should first rectify the rule of officials!" Abolish redundant officials and select officials who can truly work for the well-being of the people, so that the people will be rich and strong, Your Majesty will be virtuous, and the Han will gradually become stronger! ”

Liu Wei touched His Majesty and heard the meaning of this sentence. The heart is now weakened by the Han Dynasty, and another reason is that Emperor Huan and his cheap father are mediocre, making the people miserable, are you embarrassed to say it clearly, right?

Your Majesty is wise? In other words, if I am mediocre, it is still impossible for the Han Dynasty to recover! Also, no matter how good it is, in a perfect system, if the ruler is mediocre, the country will gradually fall.

Liu Bian's expression was straight, and he said in his heart: "I must be a Ming Jun and let the Han stand on top of the world!" ”

"What Mr. said is thought-provoking, but Mr. can have a concrete solution!" Liu Wei continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, today's official admission system is a matter of filial piety! And the qualification of filial piety is in the hands of the family, not to mention whether these people have real talent and learning, even if they are really benevolent and filial people, it is not known. ”

Liu Wei nodded, thinking deeply.

"Therefore, if we want to solve this situation, the top priority is to change the recruitment system of officials! Appoint people who are really talented and learned! ”

"What system does Mr. think can be used to achieve real meritocracy?" Liu Wei said with deep meaning.

"This..., the grass people don't have a good way for the time being. However, as a grass people, if you want to abolish redundant officials and suppress soldiers, you should appoint students from the poor family and deal with the world with the cold family! Checks and balances with each other! ”

A gleam flashed in Liu Wei's eyes, he exhaled secretly, and said in his heart: "Fortunately, the person summoned only has the ability and insight of his previous life, and this Fan Zhongyan doesn't know the imperial examination system yet!" ”

"Mr. really has real learning, and what he said is very insightful! If you use Mr. to govern the country, the prosperity of the Han Dynasty is not far away! Liu Wei exclaimed.

"Your Majesty has a reputation!" Fan Zhongyan said modestly.

"I am lacking a political expert like Mr. under me, and now Wei Xiaokuan is busy and anxious, why don't you be Mr. his deputy temporarily?" Liu Wei straightened his body and got to the point.

"In a short period of time, Lord Wei has managed Taiyuan impressively, and it is an honor for the grass people to be Lord Wei's deputy!" Fan Zhongyan said with a happy expression, although Liu Wei did not give himself an official position, he understood that the current Wei Xiaokuan was exercising the power of Taiyuan Taishou, and Wei Xiaokuan did not have a clear position, indicating that he had other positions, and there was a shortage of manpower to govern the place. And Liu Wei asked himself to act as Wei Xiaokuan's deputy, but after calming down, the county would not be able to run.

But Fan Zhongyan didn't know that Liu Wei had high hopes for him, he was a prime minister in the central government, and in the locality, he was enough to supervise the military and political power of a state.

……

It has been a month since Liu Wei summoned Fan Zhongyan, and the time has reached September!

Under the governance of Wei Xiaokuan and Fan Zhongyan, two great political talents, Taiyuan is thriving.

And Wei Xiaokuan was gradually liberated from government affairs and concentrated on the work of Jinyiwei. Taiyuan's government affairs also fell on Fan Zhongyan's head, and Fan Zhongyan is also equivalent to the right to act too shouly.

Originally, the civil officials still complained about this, but Fan Zhongyan proved himself with practical actions. In a short period of time, Taiyuan will be governed in an orderly manner. Even the old-fashioned Cai Yong was amazed by Fan Zhongyan.

However, to Liu Wei's disappointment, the recruitment order was issued for more than a month, and except for two or three small fish, none of the famous talents were like-minded.

However, there is also another thing that can be comforted, that is, the grain in the fields in various places has gradually turned from green to yellow, and in a few days, it will be harvested. Especially in Shangdang, because of Tuntian, there is a piece of yellow cancan everywhere. The grain of this tuntian alone was also eaten by the army under the prince Liu Wei for two years.

Although Taiyuan, Xihe, and Shangjun did not carry out tuntian, there were three virtuous people who governed and opened ditches widely, and the grain originally planted did not have no harvest as in previous years, but obtained a bumper harvest.

In fact, Liu Wei knew that another reason for the demise of the Han was natural disasters, and it is said that the Xiaoice River period caused climate fusion, which often led to the loss of particles in many places.

But this is also related to the inaction of officials, the natural disasters at the end of the Han Dynasty are far less serious than the natural disasters at the end of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they are carefully managed, although the natural disasters will have an impact on agriculture, but they will not be lost.

Sure enough, under Liu Wei's special instructions, officials in various localities were also quite serious about the management of agriculture. In September, the harvest is finally coming.

However, in September, it is the harvest season in the Central Plains, but on the grassland, it is equivalent to a bleak place.

Different from the Central Plains, the grasslands in the north enter the autumn and winter season, and after the rainy season, many water sources dry up, and the aquatic plants gradually wither and yellow. If you don't have enough food reserves, you will face starvation and cold in the winter.

And at this time, the grassland aliens in the north will have their eyes on the land of the Central Plains, and the grain that is about to mature.

Between a golden field, Liu Wei, who was inspecting, stood with his hands in his hands and looked at the northern land: "This piece of beauty is now guarded by me, the alien races in the north, I hope you don't make unwise decisions!" ”
