Chapter 723: Prelude to the Great Reform
Although Cao Hua has become a woman now, her temperament is still so hot, she loves to play and make trouble, by Liu Yi's side, in this Liu Mansion, she has a lot of fun with Yin Lingshan and other girls who also love to play and make trouble, although she has become a boudoir.
During this time, although she also had the same troubles as her two sisters, she was obviously more open than her two sisters.
After she heard what Liu Yi said, she got tired of Liu Yi, snuggled up to Liu Yi and said: "Two sisters, the husband is right, their men's affairs are up to them, we can't take care of it, people believe that the husband will be able to handle these things." ”
"Shut up!"
Cao Xian and Cao Hua invariably scolded Cao Hua, and Qi Qi rolled his eyes at Liu Yi and said, "Then you said okay, since things can't be changed, what should you do if you call us sisters?" ”
Liu Yi saw that they had a temperament, so it would be easy to do, and he was most afraid that they would be worried and not eat or drink.
"Well, it's not that there isn't, but it's up to you to perform." Liu Yi pressed his hand, let them listen to himself patiently, and said: "You all know that according to your father's temperament, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to change him at all. Therefore, it is useless to talk to you for the husband now. For the husband now, I can only give you a positive answer, believe in the husband, the husband will never disappoint you, as long as the time comes, the husband can solve all the problems. But now, you have to sell your husband. But from now on, you should eat, drink, and sleep every day. It can't be like this anymore. ”
"Hmph, if you say it, you don't say it." Cao Xian didn't want to buy it.
"Hey, you're not good, are you? Be careful of the husband's family law! Eat quickly, accompany your husband after eating, and your husband will sleep with you tonight. Leo pretended to be angry. He pulled up his sleeves and said.
In fact, Liu Yi really doesn't have a good solution now, he just has a little thought in his heart, but it's still far from saying this. Nor can it be said that it was said. In case the third daughter can't help but leak it out, it will be difficult to let Cao Cao know. It's not that Liu Yi can't believe them, but that they and Cao Cao are biological father and daughter after all, and no one can stop women when they are emotional. Especially among them, there are still many things about Liu Yi's calculation of Cao Cao, for the time being, I really can't tell them to know.
"Yes, husband. Jie'er believes you, but if you lie to our sisters, ...... in the future In the future, other sisters will ignore you. Cao Jie saw that Liu Yi spoke easily, and carefully examined Liu Yi's expression, and the more she looked at it, the more sure she became, so that she couldn't help but believe Liu Yi a little, believing that Liu Yi could handle the affairs between them and their husband and father.
"Hmm. That's right, you're all my women. Husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest. Crossing in the same boat, if there is anything, don't always accumulate depression by yourself, you have to tell your husband. You have to trust your husband to be able to handle these things. ”
"Get out, my mother is not in the mood. Don't interfere with our sisters' meals. Cao Xian stood up and wanted to drive Liu Yi away.
"Then the husband is really gone?"
"Get out of here!"
"Hehe, are you really willing?"
"You are not allowed to touch our sisters until this matter is resolved."
"What?" Liu Yi was a little dumbfounded, looking at Cao Xian's appearance. It doesn't really seem like a joke.
Cao Xian's face suddenly darkened, two lines of tears slid down, and he said faintly: "Speaking of which, now is the most difficult time for our sister and father. And our sisters are not filial, they all eloped with you, the villain, and left Daddy, which is our fault. No matter how nice you say, there is any way to solve this problem. However, you are all already at war now, and we can't help much, on one side is the lover, and on the other hand the father, what should we do? If other sisters' sisters are still with you, are they still human? Or as a human woman? So, husband, I'm sorry, you'...... You let our sisters calm their hearts for a while. If you can handle our affairs with Daddy satisfactorily, then ...... In the future, they will obey you for whatever you want them to do......"
"Uh, okay, then you can rest for a while, but you can't think too much, you can't wait for yourself, and you will all be raised for nothing in the future." Liu Yi knew that it was useless to say more, this war did not end for a day, and the dust had not settled, and now it was useless to say more, they would definitely be cranky.
Now, they can eat as usual and not go hungry, which is good.
Liu Yi didn't say much to them, told them to take good care of themselves, and left.
However, after Liu Yi left, he immediately found Mrs. Ding again, muttered to her for a while, and after making Mrs. Ding smile, Liu Yi let her rest first, and today it has made it difficult for her to bear the grace anymore, and Liu Yi had to find another woman.
There are some things that are inconvenient to say to the three Cao sisters, but you can talk to Mrs. Ding, let her mediate in the middle, and if necessary, you can also use what Liu Yi said to her to appease the three Cao sisters. In fact, there is nothing, it is nothing more than Liu Yi assuring Mrs. Ding that he will definitely keep Cao Cao's life as much as possible. Only Cao Cao is still there, so the three sisters of the Cao family have nothing to say. Of course, this does require the cooperation of the three sisters, and when the time comes, if Cao Cao really can't see it and is bent on death, then Liu Yi has no choice.
Naturally, these are all things that are short and long in the family, and Liu Yi can't just care about the feelings of the women in the family and ignore the overall situation. It doesn't matter what to say now, the most important thing is to defeat Cao Cao first.
In the following days, the battle ahead may be tense, but Liu Yi didn't think much about it, but has been discussing some things with the ministers in the imperial court.
What's the matter? The main thing is to grasp the direction of the overall situation and pay attention to the war, and then there are the problems of various developments of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Yi is no longer satisfied with the status quo of the New Han Dynasty. The status quo is that the whole people produce and solve the problem of food and clothing together, although for the areas governed by the new Han Dynasty, food and clothing are no longer a problem, and even, many people's families, their living standards are getting better day by day, and they already have surplus labor value. But. Liu Yi feels that this kind of life is not what he wants in the end. Because such a day is absolutely impossible to last for a long time, it must make the people of the world have a sense of tension and pressure. Can't let them be too laid-back.
How so? This one. Liu Yi actually doesn't know what to say, anyway, Liu Yi looks at the history of China for thousands of years, it seems that any historical era will have a heyday, but this heyday is always difficult to maintain for a long time. Whether it is the peaceful and prosperous era when the Han Dynasty opened the Silk Road, or the later rule of Zhenguan and Kaiyuan. and then in the later Song and Ming dynasties, and even during the Manchu and Qing dynasties, there was a period of peace and prosperity. However, it will soon come to an end, and this dynasty will soon come to an end, and eventually the world will be in chaos, and then the chaos will be peaceful. And so on and so forth.
So. Now, Liu Yi has to think about this problem, how to keep the big man he has built strong and strong.
For the status quo, it seems to be very good, the entire New Han Dynasty presents a thriving scene, and the people under the rule of the New Han Dynasty. Life is getting better and better, but if we can't control the direction of this society, there will definitely be various social problems in the near future.
Therefore. Liu Yi had to take precautions, first put forward some possible problems, and then consult with those talented ministers of the DPRK and China, find solutions as soon as possible, and guide this great man to the road of permanent strength.
The first thing to consider is the issue of land. This, in fact, Liu Yi had already considered it before, but in a certain historical background and under the national conditions at that time, he could only do it according to the methods and plans formulated at present. However, after the unification of the Han Dynasty, many of the policies that are being formulated now have to keep pace with the times and make some changes.
For example, there are already some problems. Originally, after the New Han Dynasty seized some territory, it would register the local people, first confirm their population, and then redistribute the local land. This will be very easy to do in the future, because the Han population is sparse and the territory is vast, no matter what, it is well arranged, and in the end there will be too much land left that has not been collected by the people, and it has to be cultivated by the sergeants of the New Han Army. But now it's different, the New Han Dynasty wants to register and make a register, and the people will cooperate very well, because no one wants to become a black household, and everyone wants to live in the Han Dynasty in a dignified manner. But when it came to dividing the land, many people had opinions.
Some of the people, they themselves opened up the fields of the wasteland, and now the government of the New Han Dynasty wants to distribute it to some people who have no land, so they will not do it. In addition, although the New Han Dynasty was established for more than ten years, this practice has continued like this, which seems to be very good. However, in the original governance area of the New Han Dynasty, there were actually many problems. For example, in this ancient era, the water conservancy network was far less numerous and convenient than in later generations, so how could it be done without water when planting? In this way, where it is easy to release water to the fields, there are naturally people vying for it, and some fields that are difficult to release water to the fields are disliked by everyone. The government can only play a guiding role, but it is impossible for the government to do everything perfectly.
In fact, this has caused many disputes and fights between the people of villages and towns.
Now, Liu Yi has to work out some solutions to the situation as soon as possible with the ministers, and when the time comes, all the people will have nothing to say, and they must obey the guidance and governance of the government, otherwise, this kind of problem involving the people's livelihood will also cause social chaos if it is not handled well.
In this way, Liu Yi formulated some appropriate policy plans with the ministers according to some situations in later generations, and after the unification of the Han Dynasty in the future, it will be based on the situation of each county and county. To redistribute the land, as far as possible, so that all the people have nothing to say, open-minded, fair and just.
But there is one thing that Liu Yi wants to reiterate, that is, all the land of the Han Dynasty is nationalized and distributed to the people, and that is only allocated to them the right to use. In addition, although they have the right to transfer and use the land allocated to the people, they must obtain the consent of the government, and they can only transfer it according to the consent of the government. Because Liu Yi doesn't want to be like the future generations, some people can do whatever they want if they have money and power.
In addition, and more importantly, Liu Yide had to restrain the emergence of some large landlords. If a large landowner appears in a place, he buys every city and land with money. In this way, there will come a time when some people will be forced to find it difficult to survive, just like the Han not long ago. The reason why there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the reason why there was the Han Rebellion was these reasons.
So. Lewi could allow the emergence of wealthy merchants, but he could never allow the emergence of some large landowners.
This is only a one-sided issue.
There is a question that is also quite important, that is, when the people's living standards have reached a certain good level, how to let the broad masses of the people maintain a good traditional virtue of hard work and simplicity.
What is the saying? As soon as a man has money, he will become bad, after all, it is normal to think about ****. Human.
However, if there are no regulations to control and guide it, this society will be in chaos sooner or later.
For example, the common people have surplus food, and they all have money, and the people who have money. What do they do? This is nothing more than gambling. It's just playing with women. In this era of lack of entertainment, spiritual enjoyment, and material enjoyment, the common people are nothing more than that.
But what can the people do when they indulge in this, when they seem to have nothing to pursue but this?
Especially. The majority of the common people, who lack self-control, must indulge in these things, and then they will waste their labor, even if they work hard for a while. I have a better life, but I will soon be down again. Therefore, Liu Yi discussed with the ministers that there should be legal provisions to control the behavior of the people, but it should not be too strict, otherwise it will be too much.
For example, if you can't let the people gamble, that doesn't seem to make sense. Some people in later generations have said that in later generations, one billion people gambled 900 million, and 100 million were dancing. This gambling word is regardless of age or dynasty. It should be said that gambling has become a kind of entertainment activity in people's lives to mediate the body and mind and relax themselves. Therefore, the New Han Dynasty had to formulate a legal provision that prohibited gambling, but there were restrictions. In this way, we can guide people on a healthy and enjoyable path.
As for the situation that everyone has hobbies and some people are greedy for sex, in fact, it cannot be completely eliminated, such as in later generations, it is too much to completely crack down on this kind of prohibition. Especially what kind of monogamy, Liu Yi thinks it's pure, but it does need to have a limit.
Well, that, isn't it often on the lips of future generations, what three wives and four concubines? For thousands of years, there has been this saying, and in the same dynasty, there was also a clear regulation, and it was absolutely unreasonable for Liu Yi to think that there could be such a regulation.
In this way, after consulting with the ministers, Liu Yi clearly stipulated the marriage law of the new Han Dynasty in the future.
First of all, it is clearly stipulated that a man can take a maximum of seven wives, of which three are equal wives and four concubines, of course, the article also clearly states that the wife and the concubine, although they are said to be wives and concubines, but whether they are wives or concubines, in fact, their status is equal. Of course, wives also have certain privileges, but they are all innocuous powers. For example, in a big family, there must be someone who can talk about things, right? Although there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority, there is a first come, first come, first come, there must be a certain dignity and humility, right? This kind of expression of respect and humility does not mean that it is graded, but that in the face of the old and the senior, the younger generation must be respected, which is such respect and humility.
However, a man can marry seven wives and seven daughters, which is also limited by some provisions of the law that were originally retained by the New Han Dynasty. That is, if a man marries multiple wives, he must first have the ability to support so many women. In addition, it is necessary for both men and women to be willing, not to mention how deep the relationship between each other is, but at least it must be agreed by both parties, and it cannot be forced. In addition, the families of both parties have no opinions, especially the man, and the existing wife room in the family must have no opinion. A man who couldn't even satisfy his original wife, failed to coax him, and failed to make her nod and agree to her husband's remarriage, then after this man marries, it is estimated that his family is also closed, what happiness can he have? If you are not happy, there will be too many problems, which will directly affect the problem of all the people in this family giving back to society.
Well, it can be said that Liu Yi considered the problem, it was really comprehensive, and it was quite humanistic, many courtiers discussed together, and they were surprised that Liu Yi had such an idea, but they thought about it, discussed with each other, and even went to observe and look at the people's conditions to study some folk people, and they all felt that what Liu Yi proposed was indeed quite humanistic, so that it was more likely to reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles in the society.
Liu Yi asked questions one by one and consulted with the ministers.
All possible future issues were raised and discussed, and legal provisions to be promulgated and implemented in the future were formulated. After that, Liu Yi proposed some more important things to the ministers.
That is, how to accelerate the development of culture and science.
These include education, R&D, production, manufacturing, and so on.
Liu Yi's requirements must continue to bring forth the new, as much as possible to develop and produce some more and better commodities that are closely related to the lives of the general public.
Only by constantly making things that interest the general public, improve the lives of the people, and enrich their culture, can the general public maintain a benign attitude and style of life that they pursue. (To be continued.) )
